Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 270 Returning to Chang'an City

There is no such thing as customs in Datang.

After Qin Xiedao and his party arrived in Dengzhou, they didn't stay for long. They just replenished some fresh water and food and continued towards Chang'an City.

So when he appeared at the Weishui Wharf, the people in the entire Chang'an City didn't know that they had successfully returned from the Wa Kingdom.

"Brother Qin, going to sea this time is much more exciting than going to Mingzhou, and the harvest is also very huge."

Seeing the sailors carrying boxes one by one to the pier, Yuchihuan was in a very good mood.

Although only [-]% of these gold and silver were rewarded by Qin Xiedao to everyone.

The remaining [-]% belong to Qin Xiedao alone.

But this has made everyone look forward to it.

Because 200% of the gold and silver, there are already [-] million guan.

For a character like Yu Chihuan, one person can get almost [-] guan.

Adding up all the properties of Yuchi's family, they can't earn one hundred thousand guan a year.

With these dividends, Yu Chihuan can walk at home listening to his waist.

"If you want to make a fuss, I have a more exciting place to take you there, how about it? Are you interested?"

In Qin Xiedao's maritime strategy, Wa Kingdom is just the beginning, and there are still many places waiting to be explored.

Qin Xiedao didn't want to wait for the people of Datang to explore on their own initiative, but wanted to push hard behind the scenes.

It doesn't matter even if it is to pluck the seedlings to encourage them to grow.

"A place more exciting than going to Japan? Brother Qin, you're not talking about going to Nanyang, are you?"

Along the way, Qin Xiedao did not miss introducing the situation of the world to them.

So Fang Yiai and the others also had a certain understanding of some of Qin Xiedao's thoughts.

Obviously, apart from Japan, Nanyang is the place Qin Xiedao talked about the most.

This is also a place that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty know relatively well.

You know, there are still sea ships transporting rice from Linyi to Datang every month.

The envoys of Lin Yiguo are almost all stationed in Chang'an City for a long time.

However, although everyone has a rich image of Nanyang, there are actually very few people who have actually experienced Nanyang.

So far, more businessmen from outside countries have come to Datang to do business.

"That's right! Japan has gold and silver, and Nanyang has spices. You should be very clear about the spices sold in the West Market, right? A catty of pepper can be sold for dozens of dollars, which is no different from stealing money.

Other spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon are also not cheap.

But these things are actually very common products in Nanyang. Any ordinary person may be able to come up with a bunch of spices that are priceless in our opinion but useless in their own opinion.

This is the value of trade. We take back things that others think are meaningless at a high price, and then sell them at a higher price.

In this process, everyone can make money. "

This trip to Wa country can be said to be smooth sailing.

This made Qin Xiedao want to go to Nanyang.

In the Tang Dynasty in the second year of Zhenguan, there were relatively few events.

When I go to Nanyang at this time, I don't have to worry about whether I will miss something.

If you continue to wait, it will be a pity to miss the war to exterminate the East Turks.

"Brother Qin, are the spices from Nanyang really so cheap, can they be found everywhere?"

Fang Yiai looked at Qin Xiedao suspiciously.

Although when I was in Wa country, my three views have been refreshed once.

But the spices that are so expensive in Chang'an City are ordinary goods from Nanyang in the Qin Xie Road, Fang Yiai still finds it a bit unbelievable.

“It might be a little exaggerated to be everywhere, but it’s mostly true that you can have as much as you want.

I even heard a rumor that among the islands in the South China Sea, there is an island called Spice Island.

On this island, almost all kinds of spices are occupied.

As long as you find this island, you don't have to do anything. You are already too busy just collecting spices every day. "

The Spice Island really exists in Nanyang.

However, in this era, most of the ships are walking along the coastline, and dare not go deep into the ocean at will.

Because if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

"It is very fast from Chang'an City to Yangzhou, and from Yangzhou to Guangzhou, and then to Nanyang, the time required is relatively limited.

Since Nanyang has such great potential in Brother Qin's eyes, why don't we go to Nanyang after resting in Chang'an City for a month? "

Cheng Chumo didn't like to stay in Chang'an City all the time.

This kind of days of going out to sea to expand the territory and bullying the people of foreign countries is obviously more chic.

"I agree with Brother Cheng's opinion, this time the workshops have experience, and if they are given a month, they will definitely be able to prepare enough goods.

Just taking this opportunity, we also let the sailors relax. "

Yu Chihuan also expressed support.

He is the third child in the family, and it doesn't matter if he is there or not.

Now that he finally found the meaning of going to sea, Yu Chihuan naturally didn't want to be trapped at home.

"You are all gone, so naturally I can't hold back."

Although Fang Yiai is usually careless, she is still very loyal.

Going to Nanyang is a risky thing for many people, but Fang Yiai didn't even frown.

"Lang Jun, more and more people are gathering on the pier, shall we go down and maintain order?"

While everyone was chatting, a crew member who was carrying gold ingots accidentally knocked over the box.

The glittering gold ingot suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Although gold was not in circulation before, it is only minted gold coins and circulated on a small scale.

But this does not prevent the common people from knowing gold. .

Fortunately, although the glittering gold is very stimulating, the rows of guards also calmed everyone's minds.

Therefore, the stampede or snatch accident that Qin Xiedao was worried about did not happen.

"Let's go, let's directly ask the guards to transport the gold and silver ingots to Datang Royal Bank, and then exchange them for silver notes.

After all these things are dealt with, we will start distributing rewards to the crew. "

Feelings or something, it is okay to talk about it with scholars.

For ordinary people, you'd better talk about money more realistically.

To make everyone make up their minds to go to sea with the fleet, it is definitely not because everyone yearns for the sea so much, but because Qin Xiedao paid him very high wages.

Plus potentially very lucrative rewards.

And this time, Qin Xiedao wanted to let everyone see how rich this potentially generous reward might be.
