A few days later, several sea boats slowly sailed into the port area at Langyang Port. Their styles were somewhat different from those of the ships parked in the port area. Many people could see at a glance that these ships were not sea boats in the coastal areas of Qing and Xu.

These ships are not small in size, and they don't seem to be ships from Baekje, Silla or Goguryeo, because the other party can't build such a large ship.

Thinking of the wind blowing in the southeast, many experienced people in the port area made a bold judgment, that is, these ships come from the south, very south.

The sea ships in Kuaiji are not like this, so these ships should come from the Lingbiao coastal areas further south.

Thinking of this, many merchants who bought seafood in the port area quickly went to the Maritime Mansion Bureau to "get a number" there and do business with marine merchants who might come from Lingbiao.

Since the imperial court established the Maritime Warehouse Department, and the Maritime Warehouse Department set up the Jiaozhou Maritime Warehouse Office in Langyan Port to handle maritime warship affairs, the rules of Langya Port have changed, and fishermen disappeared, and all transactions have to be carried out under the witness of the Maritime Warehouse Department.

Therefore, every sea ship entering the port must handle unloading matters at the Maritime Service, count the goods and estimate the price, and then sell the goods after paying taxes; and if you want to contact merchants, you must "get" the number" and register at the Maritime Service, and then you can negotiate with the ship owner.

No forced buying and selling is allowed, no random entry is allowed. When the transaction is over, the buyer must pay taxes based on the transaction volume, and then resell the goods from other places to make huge profits.

The establishment of the Maritime Bureau brought a new order to several harbors along the coast of Qing and Xu. Many people have gained benefits from this new order, so the initiative to abide by this order is still good.

In this regard, Feng Delang, a lingbei businessman who had just arrived at Langya Port, also felt it was very necessary.

As a registered maritime merchant in the Guangzhou Maritime Administration, he has a special token and passport document. The goods on the ship are covered with the seal of the Guangzhou Maritime Administration, so it is very convenient to handle the procedures at Langya Port, and the taxes and fees are even 20% off.

After completing the relevant procedures, Feng Delang asked his entourage to handle the relevant matters, and he started to greet the old friend Ma Huan who was coming.

Ma Huan went to Fanyu, Guangzhou, Lingbiao, two years ago and dealt with Feng Delang. Ma Huan stayed in Fanyu for a year. Both sides often met. Now they meet again here. I really feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Ma Huan is from Huangzhou and hired as a shopkeeper for his boss. Although the boss was not the "that person", he still made great progress because the "that person" always took care of his own people. Many wealthy families in Huangzhou and nearby prefectures and counties have made a lot of money, and the shopkeepers have become more and more prosperous.

Now, within the Jiaozhou Maritime Manufacturing Bureau, two of them have begun to talk.

Ma Huan, who was not a local but the host, had no time to greet Feng Delang, who came from afar, and began to answer the other party's questions.

It is not easy for Feng Delang to come to Jiaozhou here. From Fanyu to Langyan Port, at least a thousand miles of sea journeys may occur at any time, not to mention that the storm not long ago almost destroyed Feng Delang and his party.

This is how navigation is, with high risks but high returns. Feng Delang is now anxious to ask questions, and he is talking to Ma Huan about the "Northern Sales" project in winter.

Because of the ice cubes, it is really popular in the Lingbiao Jiaoguang area, and the maritime merchants led by Feng Delang made a big profit.

Scarcity is precious. People have never seen ice in areas such as the hot climate of ridges and surfaces, and even to the south. After the ice collected from Henan in winter was transported to the ridges and surfaces, they played a magical cooling effect in the hot summer this year.

Feng Delang was born in Liang Feng, and knew that the ice cube played a huge role in Mrs. Xian’s cooling down. Not only that, the elders of the tribe also received help from Bing and were not suffering so much in summer.

Not only Feng's family, but also Chen's family in the Longzhou, Ning's family in Qinzhou, and some chiefs all felt the coolness brought by ice in the hot summer, not to mention the various novel iced soup drinks that made people unable to stop drinking.

As for the Linyi Kingdom where Feng Delang is engaged in business, the king and the powerful can no longer live without this magical treasure after enjoying the coolness of the ice.

Therefore, the demand for ice among wealthy families and large households in Lingbiao has skyrocketed. Everyone has excavated ice cellars that can hide large quantities of ice, waiting for the sea boats that go south in winter to bring them magical ice cubes.

The surge in demand means the surge in profits, provided that enough goods can be provided - ice. Feng Delang went north personally for this matter. In any case, we must ensure that there are enough ice cubes to arrive in Linyi Kingdom in winter.

Previously, Feng Delang lived in Linyi Kingdom, and the Zhou army attacked Linyi Kingdom. At that time, King Yuwen of Xiyang led his troops to attack Dian Chong. Feng Delang thus joined the line with the merchants of Huangzhou who were backed by King Xiyang.

Later, Linyi State sent envoys to the Central Plains and arrived in Chang'an. They were received by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The envoys stated that Linyi State was willing to be a vassal of the Celestial Empire and paid tribute. So they traveled back and forth to Fanyu, and the sea trade of Longbian and Dianchong flourished again.

As the "gold medal merchant" of the Guangzhou Maritime Manufacturing Office of the Maritime Manufacturing Office, Feng Delang permanently stationed in Dianchong and signed a huge deal for the Guangzhou Maritime Manufacturing Office and Linyi Kingdom, which was to provide a large amount of silk, glassware and ice in exchange for rare treasures produced by Linyi Kingdom.

This transaction has a huge demand for ice cubes, so there must be no problems. What Feng Delang is now anxious to confirm is whether the "goal" sent to him by the Jiaozhou Maritime Administration this winter can guarantee the full amount.

It’s not that Feng Delang didn’t believe in the Maritime Warriors, after all, the Maritime Warriors were the “that person”, but now the demand for ice in the Lingbiao area is too high, so he is worried that the supply of goods is insufficient. In order to ensure the required share of the imperial court, the Maritime Warriors will affect their own transactions.

"Brother Feng, although the court will implement "ice reward" in Lingbiao next year, the supply of ice is still sufficient after deducting the government's share!"

"Brother Feng, don't worry, the Maritime Service has made complete preparations now. When the ice is frozen in winter, the collection, transportation and loading of ice will be very smooth."

"Last year was the first time to pick ice and transport ice. Many things were not considered carefully, so the number of ice cubes transported to the south was actually more, but this year it was different. The Maritime Bureau arranged in advance and organized manpower, and the output would be several times higher!"

"And last year, the war was just over in Henan, and everything is in trouble. Now it's different, different!"

Ma Huan is not an empty talk. He is responsible for connecting with the Guangzhou Maritime Manufacturing Administration to the "Northern Bing Sales" business. Naturally, he is well aware of the inside story. He knows that the "production capacity" of ice in Henan has increased several times this winter, so he dares to guarantee Feng Delang.

It is precisely because the "Northern Bing Sales" project at the end of last year was a success at the beginning of this year that ice cubes became a hot item in the Lingbiao area, so the imperial court had an additional choice for the rewards from officials in the Lingbiao area and the wealthy chiefs.

The Feng (Xian) clans of the three tribes of Lingbiao, Chen and Ning clans sent troops to the Central Plains to assist in the war. The court has given me a commendation. Chen Fozhi, Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen, arrived in Chang'an before returning to Lingbiao this year, and received the emperor and gave me a reward.

Mrs. Xian, who was far away in Lingbiao, was a contribution to assisting the government army in pacifying Lingbiao, and last year helped the government army to quell the rebellion. Now she has been named the Lady of Qiao State and has been given Tang Muyi and the "ice reward" that is available every year.

This kind of "ice appreciation" is unprecedented. Not only did Tai Ma Ma have it, but officials in Lingbiao Guangzhou and Jiaozhou will also enjoy this "benefit" to alleviate the pain of the hot summer.

The Maritime Bureau is now responsible for transporting ice to the ridge table so that local officials can feel the court's kindness from time to time. With this background, the Maritime Bureau has no resistance to the arrangement of ice collection in various parts of Henan.

But the problem is not that there is no problem, mainly because the capacity is insufficient. After all, the number of ship owners who can or dare to travel from Jiaozhou and Haizhou to Qianli Ai Lingbiao is limited, and the capacity cannot be increased. No matter how much ice cubes are, they can only accumulate at the dock.

This problem is being solved by the Maritime Bureau, and it is not too difficult to solve. After all, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, just like the Maritime Bureau did before that, which was organized by the Maritime Bureau to attack the Danluo Kingdom.

When Ma Huan said that there was a Danluo Kingdom in the East China Sea, it actually attacked the fleet of the Maritime Warriors. Feng Delang was a little surprised: "Danluo Kingdom? Why is it so bold that it dares to provoke the big... Maritime Warriors?"

"Overseas barbarians don't know the world is high, haha..."

Ma Huan said with a smile, and then began to reveal the inside story: "Actually it is a misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding. Now the official army is stationed in Danluo Island to assist the Danluo Kingdom in clearing out the pirates. The Danluo Kingdom had arrived at Langya Port yesterday and came to clarify the misunderstanding to the king and the court angels..."

Come to clarify the misunderstanding in person? I'm afraid I'm not arrested...

Feng Delang thought so, but he didn't say anything about the strength of "that person". He now wants to know when he will be able to receive him.
Chapter completed!
