Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 377 South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 377 South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce
Dazhou is inland, and the only waterway is Lanjing Lake. Lanjing Lake is shaped like a gourd. The important trading port of Nanyue and Dazhou, Jiangzhou was actually just a small county in the past. Because of the prosperous business here, many businessmen bought properties here, so Jiangzhou was formed in this way and expanded day by day.

Nanjiang prefecture is under the administration of Nanyue, while Beijiang prefecture is under the administration of Dazhou. There is its own set of laws and regulations, and there are no less than a hundred merchant ships traveling from here every day.

The ship that Xiao Mo picked up was a cargo ship from Nanyue. Except for Xiao Yi's cargo, the rest belonged to other members of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the ship belonged to Xiao Yi, that is to say, the merchant ship was officially owned by the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, and as long as it was a member of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, they could deliver the goods for a certain amount of money.

The vast majority of people are willing to hand over to the official for delivery, after all, it is safe and the shipping cost is relatively small.

This kind of benefit can only be obtained by becoming a senior member of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce. Other small merchants can only buy and sell goods on other private cargo ships.

Shi Luo had heard Xiao Yi mention it before, but she was really unfamiliar with these things. When she and Xiao Mo arrived at the pier, they were shocked again when they saw so many merchant ships coming and going.

Xiao Mo said: "Do you know why Da Zhou is so polite to us?"

Shi Luo looked at him, she felt that there was something in Xiao Mo's words.

Xiao Mo said: "The shipbuilding industry in Nanyue's waterway is well developed. Who do you think helped to open up this waterway? And most of these merchant ships were built by Dong's family. That is to say, we Nanyue will share a share of this fat oil-flowing Grand Canal." soup."

Shi Luo was startled.

She used to only know that Nanyue was powerful, but she never thought that Nanyue was so powerful.

In comparison, although Dazhou is prosperous, it is all dependent on Nanyue. Once Nanyue is unhappy one day, it is enough for Dazhou to drink a pot.

No wonder the emperor was so polite to them, Sir Xie and the others were almost shitting in the Great Zhou Palace, the Emperor of Great Zhou turned a blind eye.

Xiao Mo said: "However, Dazhou is rich in products, iron ore, copper mine, and the coal mine controlled by Wei Congxi are also lacking in South Vietnam, and the production of these minerals in Jin Kingdom is also very rich. Very powerful war horses, countless sheep, the things of the grassland tribes are not enough to compare with the Jin Kingdom."

Shi Luo nodded, it is indeed the case, several countries get what they need, so even if there are frictions for so many years, they have lived in peace.

Xiao Mo led her to continue walking along the canal, along the way there was a lot of people and it was very lively.

Shi Luo also felt excited.

Xiao Mo glanced at her: "Is your leg okay?"

Shi Luo nodded: "I'm fine."

Xiao Mo continued to introduce: "Although we in South Vietnam are rich, the Great Zhou Jin Kingdom strictly controls the iron ore, which leads to a very limited production of weapons, and our products are mainly silk, tea, porcelain, bamboo products and so on. In addition Our soldiers are all southerners, and they are too dependent on the climate when fighting, and they are very passive when it is cold."

Shi Luo was taken aback: "Why do I think southerners are resistant to cold?"

When I read the news in my previous life, the southerners basically relied on shaking to keep out the cold. Anyway, Shi Luo went to South Vietnam. Even though it was green outside in winter, she couldn’t stand it. She wanted to put a brazier on it. She liked to eat popsicles while it was hot. a feeling of.

Xiao Mo glanced at her and said: "Most of our soldiers have never even seen snow, and the uniforms are not thick. If we want to go further, we need to make countless winter clothes. In this way, no matter how careful we are, Da Zhou will still find out."

Shi Luo nodded.

Xiao Mo said again: "One more thing, the general stationed in the north is Concubine Shu's own brother."

Shi Luo understood.

She was silent for a while, this was the first time someone had analyzed this for her in such a systematic way, she felt that the fog in front of her eyes was lifted, and her vision became clear all of a sudden.

She looked up at Xiao Mo, and said solemnly, "Fifth Brother, thank you for telling me this."

Xiao Mo sneered: "I'm telling you this because I don't want you to be so self-righteous as to make a deal between Nanyue and Wei Congxi, and be so stupid as to not know the situation."

Shi Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "People are kept together by profit, even if it is a pure friendship, it is because another person can make you happy physically and mentally, so I don't think there is anything wrong with being used .”

Xiao Mo took a deep look at her and said, "You can see clearly."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Get in the carriage, I will take you to the Chamber of Commerce to have a look."

Shi Luo was indeed tired from walking, so he got into the carriage.

Not long after the carriage had gone, it stopped.

Shi Luo lifted the curtain of the car, and Ruhua and Ruyue were waiting for her below.

Shi Luo went down slowly, Xiao Mo pointed to one of the magnificent buildings and said: "Here."

Shi Luo took a look, the building has three floors, it is very grand, it is very quiet, and there are rich businessmen living around it, it is very convenient to walk a quarter of an hour to the wharf.

On the plaque at the door, there are four big characters written: "Nanyue Guild Hall."

Shi Luo let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Xiao Mo said.

Shi Luo followed him into the guild hall, the people here probably knew Xiao Mo, as soon as he came in, the descendants greeted him.

Shi Luo found that there are quite a lot of tables on the ground floor here, providing free refreshments for the vendors to rest.

The second floor is divided into two sides. On the left is a hall with a lot of chairs. It should be a place for meetings. On the right is a lot of showcases for displaying goods.

Shi Luo followed Xiao Mo straight up to the third floor. There were many rooms on the third floor, including a private reception room, a lounge and the president's office.

Shi Luo was amazed, it was almost like a modern office building.

She glanced at Xiao Mo: "Is this also made by the ancestor's favorite concubine?"

Xiao Mo nodded: "Yes."

The two went straight to the president's office, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a man standing by the window with his back to them, probably looking at the scenery below.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man turned his head suddenly, and Shi Luo couldn't help being stunned when he saw him: "Why is it you?"

Bai Xiuyuan pointed to the chair next to him: "Please sit down."

After Shi Luo sat down, someone brought tea and snacks, the tea was the top quality Biluochun, and the snacks were also very delicate, looking delicious.

Shi Luo was also thirsty, so he took a sip of tea before looking at Bai Xiuyuan: "So you are the president of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce."

In fact, it is also reasonable, the Bai family is the Pond family of Nanyue, and it is also the nail that Nanyue buried in Da Zhou, and the business of the Bai family is very big, so it is not surprising that Bai Xiuyuan is the president of the Nanyue Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Mo sat casually, and he and Bai Xiuyuan looked very familiar.

Shi Luo remembered what happened in Yuanshan Town, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo noticed it, but he didn't ask.
