"The ship is coming! The ship is coming! Get ready, this is the last ship!"
"Okay! Brothers, get moving!"
At Pingbo Port, they watched Shopkeeper Li and his ship appear on the sea level from a distance. The people who had been waiting for them here for many days suddenly became excited and hurriedly began to prepare to pick up the ship and guide the ship into the port.
Soon, under the guidance of the staff, Shopkeeper Li and his last transport ship finally stopped steadily at the port, and the ship deck was lowered.
Led by the merchant's clerk, a group of bewildered miners followed the clerk off the ship and gathered together on the shore of the port.
And soon the guys from the trading company came and took them away. As for the transport ship.
Shopkeeper Li brought the second shopkeeper of Dingfeng Hao to meet Wang Cezhi, who came to contact the population.
"Hahaha, Ambassador Wang, I have admired you for a long time! Why are you here in person?"
Wang Ceyi, wearing official uniform, nodded slightly and said: "You are the last people in the boat. Once the counting is completed, you will take them back with the previous batches. These people are the ones that the prince is paying attention to, so I will naturally have more people." dessert.
Shopkeeper Li has worked hard all the way, and now he has finally achieved success.
Shopkeeper Li deserves a lot of credit for his hard work! "
Shopkeeper Li's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. Although he was from Feiyun Trading Company and was directly under the prince's influence, the Song people's awe for official positions still made him excited about Wang Cezhi's praise of him.
This is their first ambassador from Yunzhou County to a vassal country!
How amazing it must be to be praised by him!
Bowing slightly, shopkeeper Li smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen and he said:
"Ambassador Wang is exaggerating. We are all doing things for the prince. This is our job. There is no hard work, let alone the merits of hard work."
Wang Cezhi waved his hand and did not continue the topic.
In addition to ensuring the safe arrival of the last person in the boat, he also had another purpose when he came this time, which was to transport the poisonous spices that he had tried to transport some time ago.
Wang Cezhi immediately asked: "Shopkeeper Li asked you to bring back the spices last time. I don't know the market. Is it okay?"
"spices?"
Shopkeeper Li was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted and said with excitement: "Ambassador Wang, you can rest assured, it's not just a good market! It's just sold out!"
The gentry and wealthy families in those places in the southeast love to use spices to cook food. However, the spices on the market are not only more expensive than gold, but are always in short supply. Even if they have money, they can't get them.
The shipload of spices we brought back this time was just put out in the local trading house, and it was immediately bought up by the wealthy gentry who came to sit down!
That’s not even half a day!
A whole boat of more than two thousand stones was sold out, and more than two million taels of silver were immediately credited to the account!
This is only a boatload, Lord Wang. I wonder how much silver the Lord spent on this boatload of spices? "
Shopkeeper Li asked curiously.
However, he didn't know how much shock his words had just brought to Wang Cezhi!
More than two million taels!
Just a boatload of spices!
How much did he and King Shendu spend to purchase this shipment of spices?
When converted, it seems to be only 220,000 taels of silver, right?
This trip has doubled tenfold! Ten times!
Not twice or twice! It's ten times!
His breathing paused at this moment, and it took Wang Cezhi a while to calm down the waves in his heart.
He turned around and laughed and said: "It's not bad. I spent more than one million taels of silver at that time. The profit has doubled. This business can be done."
Shopkeeper Li immediately said excitedly when he heard this: "This is not just something that can be done, the price has doubled, what kind of business does it take to have such a profit.
Ambassador Wang, I wonder if the ambassador has any connections. Can you introduce me to Li? Our firm also wants to do this business. "
Wang Cezhi just smiled softly when he heard this, waved his hand and said:
"Although this body poison produces spices, it doesn't produce much. I bought this ship from the king of body poison and gathered the power of the whole country.
Not sure when the next time will be. "
The meaning of Wang Cezhi's words is already obvious. I don't have much of this thing. I spent all my national power to buy it. Without my identity, they may not sell you so much.
So don’t even think about getting involved in this business!
After hearing Wang Cezhi's answer, Shopkeeper Li felt a little regretful, but he didn't pay too much attention.
Even if this kind of goods cannot be operated for a long time, even if it makes money, the profit will be limited. Their business is not without more profitable business.
Since it is so troublesome, then not to intervene means not to intervene.
"Well, that's really a pity."
Shopkeeper Li shook his head slightly with a look of pity on his face.
Wang Cezhi also smiled and laughed.
Although Feiyun Commercial Bank is also a force under the prince, what it represents is that the government forces under the prince and Feiyun Commercial Bank are two systems after all.
Since the spice business is so profitable, it is naturally impossible for him to give up such good business to Feiyun Trading Company in vain when he has the advantage.
The news that there are many body poisons and spices cannot be kept secret for too long. Feiyun Trading Company will naturally receive the news by then, but until then, if you can keep it secret, keep it secret first and let them make a lot of money first.
Shopkeeper Li was fooled by Wang Cezhi because of the information gap.
At that time, the two discussed the transportation of military supplies for the Japanese army.
Wang Cezhi gave the materials that needed to be transported by ship and the delivery time of the materials.
The ship arranges time for shipment and transportation.
The two chatted until noon, and Wang Cezhi invited shopkeeper Li to try Shendu's local specialties, Shendu flying cakes and curry rice.
At this end, the fleet has begun preparing to transport military supplies.
And Li Dingguo finally arrived at the first city in Subei County on the eighth day of June.
Changhe Fucheng!
Until here, they will receive the last batch of military supplies coming to the court.
After that, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the prefecture and county did not know what the Japanese pirates were doing, and by the way, they confused the counties where the Japanese pirates were lurking.
At that time, the military supplies will have to be provided by Feiyun Trading Company.
As soon as the team was stationed outside the city, Li Dingguo called the army's quartermaster. In addition to the necessities provided by the court, they themselves had to purchase more to prevent insufficient supplies later.
The quartermaster followed the order, and soon entered the city with the warrant issued by him.
On the other side, Zuo Hui led a few people straight towards Changhe Mansion Office.
In the Yamen of Changhe Prefecture, Lin Mao, who was the prefect of Changhe at the time, also received news that the Japanese troops were stationed outside the city.
He hurriedly called the master and several other chief officials in the city to the government office. They were about to leave the city together, but they heard the news from the government officials that the deputy commander of the Japanese army outside the city, Zuo Zuo, had returned!
Lin Mao and others were suddenly shocked. They had already arrived at the door first. They hurriedly asked the Yamen servants to welcome them in. He and others also quickly made preparations.
