The two businessmen Tuo Lei and Li Yong were also unambiguous. After negotiating the price with Qu Mao, they began to arrange for Qu Mao's ship to move and inventory the goods without even signing the contract.

It was not until about ten o'clock in the evening that Tuo Lei and Li Yong's men completely removed all the blank rune stones and animal skins from the five ships.

Li Yong's side was simple. Qu Mao carried 150,000 units of blank rune stones directly to the ship and carried 3 boxes of gold coins to the ship. 15,000 gold coins was a lot of money. Li Yong was obviously not a hero, so he could only use wooden boxes to carry the gold coins.

Carry it to the Qumao boat.

There are exactly 5,000 gold coins in a box. Sunan has returned to Yancheng Port in the evening, so he will naturally arrange for someone to count the number.

Su Nan didn't have much objection to the price negotiated by Qu Mao and counted the gold coins honestly.

Animal skins are relatively more complicated. There are not many elephant skins, estimated to be at most 3,000, and there are not many hare skins. After all, the meat produced by hares is too small, and the Yicun hunting troops are not willing to hunt hares.

Su Nan felt that the price Qu Mao sold the animal skins to Tuo Lei was a very good price. In the end, Tuo Lei also carried three gold coin boxes to Qu Mao's ship. However, in addition to two boxes full of 5,000 gold coins, the other

There are less than 1,000 gold coins in a box.

It had been more than half a year since Qu Mao came to this world. When he saw so many gold coins for the first time, he instantly had the urge to pour out all the gold coins and lie down on the pile of gold coins to sleep.

Of course, this also means that Qu Mao needs to load the goods on the ship the next day and prepare to return to Yi Island.

In the news from Yancheng brought back by Su Nan, it was also reported that the whole Yancheng was in turmoil during the day, and Yancheng troops were everywhere hunting for rebellious thugs. As for whether those arrested were thugs, everyone actually knew it, but Qu Mao felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Countless young people among civilians were captured in this operation led by the government and military, and ended up missing.

This kind of thing has happened frequently in Yancheng in the past six months. Although the residents of Yancheng are very disgusted with this behavior of the city owner, it has not caused any particularly big incidents.

After counting the number of gold coins, Su Nan went to Qu Mao's room to discuss some matters in Yancheng.

Mafei Trani and others cannot return to Yi Island with Qu Mao this time because they have decided to move their families to Yi Island. Although it is easier for Mafei Trani to move because he only has one sister, Sophie

Trani, but his other friends have to take care of their families, and they need time to sell off their property and pack up the things they need to take away.

Beginning at noon the next day, Jack Twain had already escorted 800 female slaves and 700 male slaves to the Yancheng Port dock in batches. He only waited for Qu Mao's ship to load the goods, and then drove these slaves to Qu Mao.

sea ​​ship.

At the same time, 15 boatmen and their families were escorted to the dock, a total of 81 people from 15 households. However, Qu Mao did not let the slaves and boatmen board the ship. Instead, he counted a total of 1850 gold coins from the gold coin box on the ship and gave them to Jack.

Twain, and asked Jack Twain to take care of the slaves' food and health, and boarded the ship at three o'clock the next morning.

For this reason, Qu Mao privately gave Jack Twain 20 gold coins as food money for these slaves.

As for how much Sunan will give privately, this is not something Qu Mao needs to consider.

At around 2 p.m., Jerry Chen, the owner of Yancheng sundry store, had successively transported the books, tools, seeds, daily necessities, production tools, living tools and forage seeds purchased on Qu Mao's behalf to Qu Mao's five ships.

Just as Jack Twain was about to leave the dock, Qu Mao suddenly said to Sunan: "Brother Qu Sheng, we seem to have forgotten to buy sea salt. We bought 1,500 slaves this time. I'm afraid there won't be much space to store sea salt."

Jack Twain glanced at Qu Mao in astonishment, then at Sunan, and leaned over and whispered: "Sir, brother Qu Sheng, with all due respect, there are so many slaves on the ship, and it is inappropriate to haul Haiyan.

At first glance, it seems that you have never done the slave business. If a slave lives on a ship for more than two months, he will definitely die. Moreover, slaves are different from other goods. They will pollute the quality of sea salt.

Besides, the money from the business we are doing now is definitely not worse than Haiyan. I believe that after you return to the Mughal Empire, you will like this kind of business.

Based on the quality of this supply, as long as half of them can disembark in the Mughal Empire alive, I believe that adults will definitely make more than buying and selling sea salt.

There are ways to make a lot of money, why do you still think about Haiyan's small profit but quick turnover business?"

Sunan also took the opportunity to persuade: "Sir, Captain Jack is right. Captain Jack will hang five shuttle boats on the deck of the ship tonight, and tomorrow morning the slaves will be driven onto the five ships. Your Excellency, as soon as possible

Let’s go back and try selling.”

Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We won't buy sea salt this time. It's up to you, Brother Qu Sheng, to decide on the fleet coming next week."

Jack Twain continued to persuade: "Sir, according to the villain's opinion, you should not continue to do the sea salt business. It would be great if we join hands to continue the current business!"

Seeing that Qu Mao couldn't cope with it, Su Nan quickly smoothed things over and said, "Captain Jack doesn't know something. My family is also worried that this place is too far away from the Mughal Empire. If the goods on the road are too damaged, we will lose all our money."

Jack Twain waved his hand and patted Sunan on the shoulder and said: "Brother Qu Sheng, I have to talk about you. You should also manage well with your adult brothers and study business strategies.

On the way back to the Mughal Empire, there is another country's seaport about 500 kilometers away from Yancheng Port. You can definitely sell part of it there. Earn the capital first, and the rest will be lost naturally because there is more space on the ship.

It will decrease.”

Su Nan glanced at Qu Mao, then at Jack Twain, and said, "Brother, you don't know. There is a port city in a princely country, but the leader of that princely country has no influence on our Mughal Empire.

The emperor is not respectful."

Jack Twain interrupted with a smile: "Brother Qu Sheng, who in business considers high-level affairs?

Besides, just because the king of the kingdom is disrespectful to the emperor, it doesn’t mean that the officers at the seaport are disrespectful to the gold coins, you know!"

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, they don't object to our docking at the port to replenish supplies. I will try it when we return, but the bulk will have to be handled by Qu Sheng, brother, when we return.

There will be about a week before the next fleet arrives. Brother Qu Sheng and Battalion Commander Jack can have a good drink for a few days.

We'll weigh anchor and set sail on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and Battalion Commander Jack will have to work hard tonight."

Jack Twain smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir! It won't delay your trip!"

Qu Mao nodded with satisfaction and went directly to the boat to rest without returning to the inn.

Sunan returned to the Yancheng Port Inn with 2 third-level jump soldiers and 10 first-level sailors.
