At the Taicang Port Pier, more than ten giant ships stand upright like rows of city towers, and the huge sense of oppression is simply suffocating.

Fortunately, they came to load and unload goods, not to fight.

At this time, two thousand Shenwu Camp war chariots were lined up in two long rows, constantly unloading rubber and copper from the armed merchant ships of the Spanish Ocean Fleet and transporting them to the city's military camp wall for supervision. Xia Yunyi, the Maritime Commander, took a group of officials there to carefully count the records.

Suddenly, Carinho ran down from a tower ship with excitement as if he had taken the wrong medicine, and rushed to Xia Yunyi and shouted happily.

It turned out that he had already discussed with the commander of the Ocean Fleet and would first bring a hundred carts of silver to the city to purchase goods. Then the goods would be shipped to the continent and sold to everyone to pay dividends.

Although he had exchanged a lot of high-end goods with the Ming Empire this time, those were all official transactions and he did not receive much commission.

He and the goods he bought back from the Ocean Fleet themselves were different. They were all sold by them personally, and the profits were almost all theirs. They just needed to respect the current Governor-General of Luzon.

The goods purchased by hundreds of cars can be earned at least two or three hundred cars. Even if two people share, it will be more than one hundred cars per person!

Can he not be excited if he can make so much money in one hand?

Problem, according to the regulations of the Ming Empire, sailors of the Ocean Fleet cannot disembark with weapons, and they did not bring any flatbed cars.

So, he wanted to ask Xia Yunyi to help him arrange 100 Shenwu Camp war chariots and 200 Shenwu Camp soldiers to help him transport the silver to the city for exchange, and then purchase the goods and bring them back.

Xia Yunyi was so confused. He didn't know when he could remove tens of thousands of barrels of rubber and tens of millions of kilograms of copper. This guy actually pestered him for help.

Can you help this?

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp who were sent to ask the emperor came back soon, and Xu Fuyuan followed him.

The emperor said that he could help with this, and the emperor also sent Xu Fuyuan to accompany this guy to exchange gold and silver and purchase goods.

Soon, teams of Spanish sailors carried brick-like silver pieces and unloaded them on the chariot of Shenwu Camp.

These guys were stolen from gold and silver anyway, and the casting was quite rough, just a square, and it was so heavy that it was probably not weighing forty or fifty pounds.

Of course, you can't just buy such silver dollars in the shop. One piece is several hundred taels. Without special testing methods, who dares to take it? What if you receive a fake one, wouldn't you lose your life if you receive it!

Therefore, this thing must be transported to the Ming Dynasty Money House first and replaced with silver ingots or silver notes minted by the imperial court.

Xu Fuyuan's family is rich, but he has never seen a hundred cars of silver before. He was really scared by the wealth of these guys. He used a car to buy things and used a car to get silver. Moreover, it was a hundred cars, which was really scary.

After Carinho followed them to the Ming Money House, he was a little confused.

They were very quick. After a few experienced masters carefully tested the silver bricks, they started to weigh silver, more than 100,000 kilograms, about one million taels of silver. They weighed ten pieces together, and they finished weighing them in less than half an hour.

Immediately afterwards, someone brought him a large box of paper!

This means that the exchange has been completed and all the silver bricks have been exchanged for silver notes.

He pulled out a silver note and looked carefully.

The silver notes are so beautiful that they are so beautiful that they are even shining in some places.

The problem is, this is paper, no matter how beautiful it is, it is still paper!

He was really confused when he exchanged this box of paper for a hundred carts of silver.

He looked at the silver notes for a while before asking, "Can this be used to buy things? Can I change it to the standard silver ingots you cast?"

There are no paper money in the continent now, and there are not before the Ming Dynasty.

Can this thing be used as money?

He was really confused.

When the shopkeeper heard Chen Siming's translation, he immediately pointed to the merchant who deposited the money next to him and said, "Look, don't they all use silver for silver notes. If you want to exchange it for silver ingots, I wish you could change it for silver ingots, because you bought something and they had to exchange it for silver notes. We can earn more than 10,000 taels of extra processing fees. Am I afraid that you will find it troublesome? One hundred car silver ingots will have to be moved for a long time. If you don't think it troublesome, I will have someone to move it for you."

Uh, this, Carinho looked at the Ming merchant who was holding the silver to exchange for paper, and hesitated for a while, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, silver bills are silver bills, Andre, carry this box of silver bills, let's buy things."

After hearing this, a strong guard behind him hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the box containing the silver notes, followed him and walked out.

At this moment, he was really impatient to buy things. As for the silver notes, he thought about it for a while and was not afraid of being cheated.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is here. Can he be afraid that others will cheat on him?

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire would never go to war with them for this little money!

They have tower ships and gunboats, and the armed merchant ships are equipped with a lot of guns. If they really want to fight, no matter who wins or loses, the merchant ships at this port will definitely be complete.

As long as the Emperor of the Ming Empire is not mentally ill, he would not start a war with them for such a thing. He still has this confidence.

He walked out of the money shop and asked impatiently: "Chen, where is the one who sells that kind of silky high-end cloth? Take me over and take a look."

Is this guy talking about silk and satin?

How could I know this!

It's the first time I've been here.

Chen Siming looked up at the street and soon saw a large cloth shop not far away.

He simply pointed at the Bu Xing and said, "God General, why don't we go there and take a look."

When Carinho heard this, he immediately walked towards Nabu.

He walked into the cloth shop and saw that the place was indeed selling cloth, with many shelves and many cloths.

However, he did not see that kind of silky high-end cloth.

No?

It's impossible!

He said anxiously: "Chen, please help me with your questions!"

Chen Siming said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, do you have silk and satin to sell?"

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this.

Why did you ask me this in front of Lord Xu?

The Maritime Bureau is specialized in this!

He shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, silk and satin are prohibited, we have nothing to sell."

ah?

Sold out!

Xu Fuyuan understood as soon as he heard Chen Siming's words. This guy probably wanted to buy a lot of silk, satin, official kiln porcelain and tea.

Sorry, the emperor said, these things cannot be sold to you casually.

He explained calmly: "Yes, silk, satin, official kiln porcelain and tea are all banned. These are all official governments in the court and cannot be bought here."

When Carinho heard this, he was stunned.

He originally wanted to buy more high-end porcelain, silk, satin, tea, etc. back. The problem is that people banned the sale of these "high-end goods"!

what to do?

He was stunned for a while before turning to look at the cloth on the shelves.

These ordinary goods are actually fine. Even ordinary cloth and porcelain, you can earn several times the difference as long as you ship it back to the continent.

He thought about it and raised his hand and said, "Take these cloths to me."

The shopkeeper quickly brought him a few pieces of white cloth and a few pieces of floral cloth.

He looked carefully and nodded in satisfaction.

These cloths are very well woven, and they can definitely be sold at a good price when shipped to continental Europe.

He asked without hesitation: "What are the prices?"

The shopkeeper quickly introduced: "One or two pieces of high-quality white cloth, one or two pieces of high-quality flower cloth, one or two or five cents a batch."

Socks?

I heard it right?

Carinho turned around and pulled out a silver note from the box, put it in front of the shopkeeper, and asked excitedly: "How many horses can I buy this?"

Does this guy not count?

The shopkeeper said without hesitation: "If you buy a high-quality white cloth for one hundred taels, it will be a hundred pieces. If you buy a high-quality flower cloth, I will give you a discount of sixty-seven pieces."

It's so cheap!

Carinho looked at the silver notes in disbelief, then looked at the cloth on the shelves, then waved the silver notes excitedly and howled with a flushed face: "I want all the cloths you have here!"

ah?

The shopkeeper was scared by him.

Could this guy have had an epilepsy all of a sudden?

He has stored tens of thousands of white cloth and tens of thousands of flower cloth here!

He asked in disbelief: "You really want it all. I have more than 10,000 pieces of white cloth and floral cloth!"

Carinho nodded without hesitation and said, "You have to calculate how much it costs in total."

Do you really want it?

Big business!
