In the Transport Department Office, Xu Ping looked up and down at Huang Jinbiao and saw that he was wearing a sable fur coat, and his body was covered with various small objects, either gold or jade, dressed like a nouveau riche.

Huang Jinbiao was embarrassed to see, and scratched his head and said, "Du Cao official, I have lived a good life for a few years and look a little richer than before. In fact, I haven't changed much, so why don't you recognize me anymore!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "I know you have made a lot of money over the years, but you don't have to hang so many pieces on your body, right? If you walk on the street like this, you are just a gold and silver shop that can walk. If a robber wants to steal it, you will save the eyeliner from sending a survey!"

"Who dares to steal me!" Huang Jinbiao raised his head, "I am a good match? Besides, the followers around me have all gone through a big battle, and some little thieves don't take them seriously!"

Since he made his fortune in Yongzhou, Huang Jinbiao has been following a group of young and strong people in the clan. He is more loyal than the slaves he hired and has considerable combat power. Ordinary robbers really can't touch him. He was the leader of the clan, but now he has become a rich man. People in the clan live on him. Occasionally, hundreds of people cough and get worried.

After giving up his seat, Xu Ping ordered the tea to come and said to Wang Wen beside Huang Jinbiao: "Wang Bin and my colleague, you are his clan brother, and you are not an outsider. You don't have to be restrained when you come to me."

Wang Wen bowed: "Although Xiaoke is far away in Goryeo, he has heard of the name of Ducao officials. When I saw him today, it turned out to be a young hero!"

After hearing this, Huang Jinbiao said impatiently: "It's more reliable to say compliments! Although the Ducao official is really a hero, you are a small country in Goryeo and a remote country, how could you hear his name?"

Wang Wen said calmly without any worries: "Although Goryeo is remote, there are also maritime merchants. The officials of the Ducao City were in Nanyang, using a state of one state to destroy Jiaozhi and a country, and captured the king and presented it to the capital city. Such a big thing will certainly be known to everyone."

Huang Jinbiao frowned, knocked the table with a jade ring the size of a pigeon egg on his finger, and said to Wang Wen: "I just don't like you. You mean you are a barbarian in a small country, but you like to speak in a singular manner! You can't speak well!"

As the saying goes, he is a guest from afar. Xu Ping didn't want to embarrass Wang Wen. He changed the subject and asked him: "Have you ever seen your brother Wang Bin in Central China? He is now in Mizhou, where the Maritime Department is set up."

"I have no news yet when I returned to Ducao, so this time I went to Mingzhou from Hailu, and then went straight to the capital. When I got back, I would go from Mizhou and I could see my clan brother."

"If you want to meet, Wang Bin mentioned the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse. The commercial routes that are connected are Goryeo and Japan. I heard that your family is a prominent family in Goryeo and is extremely powerful. The commercial routes are open and there are many times when they are used."

Wang Wen hurriedly said, "I also said that I am not powerful, but I can speak in Goryeo."

After the ancestors of the Wang family arrived in Goryeo, they only took a few decades to become a major clan of Goryeo and have always served as high-ranking officials in the Goryeo court. Although they are not a powerful minister who controls the government, they are also one of the most powerful clans in several families.

Because Japan has been closed to the country since the Tang Dynasty and has some contacts with Goryeo and has some information about the Central Plains. In principle, merchants from the Central Plains are not allowed to do business there. Of course, there are still a few maritime merchants there, but they all started their own families and established businesses on the island of Japan, and settled their families in the name of the Japanese. To open a trade route in Northeast Asia, you can only start from Goryeo, using it as a breakthrough point and enter Japan in a curve. Japan has a lot of gold and silver, so it is still very profitable to do business there.

Xu Ping valued Wang Bin's family relationship in Goryeo because of this reason. If he just did business with Goryeo and opened a Mizhou Maritime Warehouse, he would have made a big deal. Goryeo's products were poor, so he could not exchange silk for Goryeo ginseng from there. Not to mention that things could not be exchanged for much, Goryeo ginseng was just an ordinary medicinal material and was not valuable in this era. At least the myth of ginseng was not in this era. To be honest, it was not as valuable as the geckos produced in Yongzhou. Compared with Goryeo, Japan's products were much richer. In this era, there were at least gold, silver and sulfur, which were lacking in the Central Plains.

With the relationship between Wang Bin, his family made profits from sea trade and improved their status in Goryeo. And it was originally the Han people in Fujian in the past, and it was the benefit of both sides.

After asking about Wang Wen about Goryeo, Xu Ping said again: "What do you want to see when you come to Xijing City this time?"

Wang Wen said: "I heard from Mr. Huang that cotton cloth is very popular in Xijing, and there are cotton coats, which are very warm to wear in winter. The winter in Goryeo is long and cold. If you can do a business with cotton cloth and cotton coats, you will make a lot of profits. To be honest, silk is naturally a good thing, but the price is too high. In previous years, Goryeo was only a piece of silver, and the price of Kaifeng has always been rising. The ten-fold profit is still a bit low for the maritime merchants."

After hearing this, Huang Jinbiao opened his eyes wide: "You barbarians are too greedy! Do you still think that the ten times the seed is low?!"

Xu Ping waved his hand and prevented Huang Jinbiao from speaking randomly: "The sea is not as risky as land. If you accidentally encounter a strong wind, the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed. Ten times the profit is really just ordinary. However, the price of silk has dropped this year, and from Mizhou in the future, Jingdong Road is rich in silk, so the price there is also cheaper."

Wang Wen said: "The Ducao officials made sense, but the price of silk is too high after all. How many people can afford it in the small country of Goryeo? This business is not big. Xiaoke went to the Central Plains this time to hope to have a large amount of goods trafficking and do a long-term business."

"You say this, cotton cloth is indeed more reliable. But what are you going to transport from Goryeo to the Central Plains? Goryeo's products are barren, and there seems to be not much goods suitable for sale to the Central Plains."

"What I think about when I return to the Cao official in Dudu is Goryeo paper, which is still famous in the Central Plains, and some local medicinal materials. Besides, my family used to do maritime business and could go to Japan, where there is a lot of gold and silver, and it can be trafficked."

Huang Jinbiao couldn't help but mutter: "Why do I hear that you have nothing in Goryeo, such as local medicinal materials, I have a lot of resources in Central China, and nothing is there? I used to ask Nanyang Maritime Merchants that people sell spices and jewelry from outside, and those things are valuable! You Goryeo don't have such good things? It's so poor!"

Wang Wendao: "Of course there are some, Goryeo produces musk, and there are some others. In short, the Central Plains have a large population. Are you afraid that you can't sell anything from Goryeo? It's just that the interest rate is less."

This is also the reason why maritime merchants in Northeast Asia are far less active than maritime merchants in Nanyang. Trade requires exchanges between the two parties to maximize their interests. However, both Goryeo and Japan lack a large amount of goods exported to China. Whether it is gold, silver or medicinal materials, the quantity is far from comparable to silk cloth and porcelain. When maritime merchants trade there, they can only do one-way business, and their profits will naturally be much lower. Xu Ping wanted to open this trade route, but he was only concerned about gold, silver and other things.

Although China is big enough to complete the economic cycle, the commodity economy will eventually expand the global market.
