How did you get all these good things?
That's because Huang Yi simply hired people without any doubts.
Take out all the gold utensils, gold, silver, silver products and a few copper coins you carry and let shopkeeper Li look at the color and calculate how much silver they are worth.
Currencies these days are quite complicated. Not only does silver and gold depend on their quality, but also copper coins are divided into good and bad. A good gold coin is worth six hundred fen for one tael of silver, and the lowest copper coin may not be 1,500 fen. In exchange for a tael of silver.
Huang Yi didn't understand the fineness of gold and silver at all, but shopkeeper Li was an expert.
He can make a general distinction at a glance, and after weighing it, wiping it with cotton cloth a few times, and biting it gently with his teeth, he can give the folded color.
Maybe shopkeeper Li is trying to keep things going for a long time, or maybe the Li family firm is really based on integrity.
In Huang Yi's transaction, the Li family basically achieved small profits but quick turnover. Buying goods that the Li family's shop did not have from other stores only earned money for running errands.
After the transaction was completed, both parties were very happy. Mr. Li also specially invited Huang Yi to have a big drink, accompanied by Mr. Li Ba, shopkeeper Li and two fans.
Of course they recruited the fans from the brothels in Zhangjiakou.
Li Dongjia was in a very good mood. Although the head was not taken away, the news was just released.
The effect is unimaginable!
If you just sell it for money, the highest bidder has already promised eight thousand taels.
The Li family is rich, but they don't really care whether they earn four or five thousand taels of silver.
The Li Dong family wants to use these heads, which are second only to the "Ningjin Great Victory", to help an adult become a frontier official at the level of governor.
Seeing that Huang Yi was buying weapons and food and iron, he judged that Huang Yi was no ordinary person.
If Huang Yi had not died young, he would have gained something sooner or later.
Therefore, he specially invited Huang Yi to drink flower wine to deepen their relationship.
The first meeting was for business, and most of the time was spent on bargaining.
This time is completely different!
A few people were chatting!
Huang Yi’s knowledge and eloquence are beyond question!
In modern terms, it means that you are particularly good at blowing!
Drinking and bragging is a Chinese favorite! The same is true for Dongjia Li and Shopkeeper Li.
Huang Yi talked about the vastness of the world, the north sea and the sky, and told Li Dongjia that he yearned for it!
He asked: "Mr. Huang, is there really a medicinal material overseas that can cure malaria?"
"That place is called South America far away! The medicinal materials are the bark and roots of a tree. The tree and leaves look like this."
Huang Yi took advantage of the drunkenness and asked the clerk to bring a pen and paper to scribble and draw based on the cinchona tree information introduced on his mobile phone.
Dongjia Li seemed to be aroused and asked, "How to get to that place called South America?"
"Haha, South America is actually only separated from my Ming Dynasty by the vast sea. It can be reached by sailing from my Ming Dynasty to the southeast, about 30,000 miles!"
Everyone here knows that Huang Yi grew up in Franji. They just asked how people in Franji speak.
Of course Huang Yi didn't understand Franji, and he didn't know which country in Europe the so-called Franji was. He spoke a few words in broken English.
Several members of Dong Li's family heard that Huang Yi's English was not eloquent, but they couldn't understand it at all.
Therefore, they completely believed that Huang Yi had returned from overseas.
Stones from other hills, can learn! Li Dongjia firmly believed.
So ask what good things are there in overseas places?
Huang Yi casually mentioned the medicinal materials that can treat malaria.
Malaria was one of the major epidemic diseases in the Ming Dynasty, with a high fatality rate and no cure.
Li Dongjia is a businessman and immediately realized the business opportunity.
So I asked Huang Yi where he could find this sacred tree!
After hearing Huang Yi explain the direction and distance, Li Dongjia took a deep breath!
He said: "My family is also engaged in maritime trade. It is not easy to go to Japan. South America is really too far!"
Shopkeeper Li said: "I heard that there are so many pirates that it is difficult to do business at sea. South America is inaccessible no matter what."
Huang Yi said: "If I have a war ship, I can go for it. But my war ship must be built by me personally!"
Mr. Li Ba asked strangely: "Why is this?"
"Because the warships built under my supervision will definitely run faster than other warships with similar displacement. When encountering pirates, fight them if you can, and you can escape easily even if you can't fight them!"
Shopkeeper Li asked: "General Huang Qi still knows how to build warships?"
"Understood! The countries in Franji have a large number of merchant ships and warships engaged in maritime trade. There is a large shipyard not far from my home in Franji. I have grown up watching deck-building and warships! "
"It's not simple, it's not simple!" Li Dongjia exclaimed: "Mr. Huang is really talented! It's a pity that even if we build a deck battle ship, it will be useless without powerful sailors!"
"My boss is right, a good sailor is even more important than a warship!"
"Mr. Huang, I'd like to toast you. We'll visit you often in the future. Maybe in a few years, my family will have the opportunity to ask you to lead a team on a trip to South America!"
"No problem! It's just that I have decided to go to South America. It will take a year or two just to prepare! You can't rush it!"
"I understand that it takes a lot of time to build ships, build guns, and train sailors and gunners."
Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "The most important thing is that it requires too much money. Large-scale ships are not cheap. To travel such a long distance, you have to travel with three ships together. This requires hiring at least 700 sailors and gunners."
I estimate that one hundred thousand taels of silver may not be enough. "
Huang Yi said seriously: "I can really organize seven to eight hundred people and three large ships to sail to South America. I am not only confident that I can find the sacred tree that treats malaria and bring back saplings or tree seeds. I also need to pack at least 20,000 people in South America." Two gold.”
"How come Mr. Huang is so sure? Haven't you never been to South America?"
"I have never been there, but I have heard from sailors in Franji that there are many gold, silver and copper mines in South America. Every sailor and merchant who returns safely from South America can bring back a lot of gold, Silver and copper ingots.”
The reason why Huang Yi deliberately talked about South America was actually out of good intentions.
The world has entered the Age of Discovery, and there are indeed many gold, silver, and copper mines in South America.
The Li family were officials and big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, with strong financial resources. If they were tempted and organized people to fight for South and North America, wouldn't it be a few years later than the Mayflower covered ship reaching North America?
Of course, such a big matter was not something Li Dongjia could decide. He listened carefully and asked many questions.
There is no doubt that he yearns for a good place rich in gold, silver, copper, and a magical medicine that can cure malaria.
It's a pity that it sounds even further away than the Western Heaven where Monk Tang studied for Buddhist scriptures.
He persuaded Huang Yi to drink more diligently, and even poured wine for Huang Yi himself. At this moment, he definitely had the desire to go to South America. As for whether he would take the next step, it would only depend on the situation.
Huang Yi only regarded South America as a topic of conversation at the wine table, and did not expect anyone to start traveling to South America immediately.
Anyway, he made up his identity after returning from overseas. He will definitely talk about exotic customs in the future, and he will definitely promote South and North America to the bureaucrats and merchants of the Ming Dynasty.
Let officials and businessmen broaden their horizons and take risks in order to obtain gold, silver and copper mines in South America!
This heavy drinking lasted for two hours, which is four hours in later generations.
When saying goodbye, Li Weida, who was drunk, actually held Huang Yi's hand tightly and asked Huang Yi to come to Zhangjiakou next time to play in the city.
He wants to take Huang Yi to visit the most luxurious brothels in Zhangjiakou and order the most popular upright officials...
Forehead! What does it mean to be an upright official?
Why not spend that wasted money to buy hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of gunpowder!
