"Lord, a fleet has arrived at the pier of Guihua City. General Zhang asks you to go back!" One of Yang Feng's personal guards ran over and said panting.
Yang Feng looked strange and said: "How come a fleet came here?"
Guihua City is more than 30,000 miles away from Jidu, and there is no gold or silver here. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a fleet to come here!
However, when Yang Feng arrived at the Guihua City Pier and met Zhang Baiqi, he learned the reason. It turned out that this was the transport ship of the Cui family. They originally wanted to transport goods to Jinshan for sale, but they ended up in the wrong place. Yang Feng and the others came
of colonization sites.
They had already traveled back and forth on the waterways of the New World and had a certain understanding of them, so when the Cui family's fleet set off from Jidu again, they did not sail carefully along the continental shelf, but chose a faster waterway.
Crossing the entire Pacific Ocean and arriving at the New World, this route allowed them to save more than twice the time to reach the New World. However, the astrologer they hired miscalculated the latitude, so their fleet did not come to Jinshan, but returned home.
Huacheng!
At this time, the steward of the Cui family also looked helpless. He really wanted to beat up the astrologer, deviate from the waterway for thousands of miles in one breath, and push him into an extremely embarrassing position!
"Steward Cui, for the manpower you brought, we will pay for the freight. Each person will give you 10,000 yuan to keep you from losing money. We can also buy food at a price of 1,000 yuan per stone. We will also buy cloth for 10,000 yuan, farm tools, swords and other tools.
If you buy it at 10 times the price, your Cui family will not suffer any loss!" Zhang Baiqihao said angrily.
Although they have made a lot of preparations and hoarded a lot of food and supplies, here in the New World, supplies and manpower are never enough. Now that there is a windfall, it is naturally impossible for them to let the fleet leave like this. Of course, they have no intention of bullying.
People buy the supplies on the fleet at 10 times the price. After all, these maritime merchants have been offended now, who will dare to do business with them in the future!
It's just that the price of 10 times is naturally high. Even sea trade is very rare, but he can't do this job.
Cui Mansion's housekeeper said helplessly: "Generals, please don't embarrass me. These are the supplies that I prepared for my uncle. If I sell them here, I'm afraid I will kill him!"
The Cui family went all out to support Xu Hao. Not only did most of the clan members come to Jinshan City, but most of their property was used to help Xu Hao build the New World. Just like their fleet, they purchased
A large amount of grain, cloth, ironware, and even a huge amount of money were spent to attract a group of gold diggers who wanted to prospect for gold. Isn't all this just for the rapid development of Xu Hao's Jinshan City!
Yang Feng heard this and said seriously: "Are you Xu Hao to suppress us?"
The fleet came to them, but they didn't want to sell anything. This was because they wanted to trick them, because they were too old to carry a knife!
The housekeeper broke out in cold sweat when he saw a group of murderous veterans. These were the founding heroes of Daqian, veterans who had fought countless battles. If he was killed, he would probably not even make the decision for himself.
The butler could only whisper: "It's not that I'm trying to trick you generals, but I just can't handle this! If there's no goods, I'll kill you!"
At this time, Zhang Baiqi waved his hand and said: "Let's not embarrass the servants. You leave a boatload of goods, which will be considered as the cost of entering the port. We will cover your supplies! The immigrants also left some for us, as just said
It’s the same as mine, one person has ten thousand dollars, I won’t let you suffer any loss!”
Guihua City is not without food. There is still fresh sea fish, such as salt, clean water, fresh seafood and vegetables, which are needed by the ocean-going fleet.
The housekeeper thought about it and realized that if he really left nothing behind, it would hurt the friendship between the two parties. Their uncle would also call these people uncle. These founding heroes were not something that a servant like him could offend, so he agreed.
Got it!
Then the steward asked Zhang Bai to ride on their team to carry a ship of goods, and the people on the fleet also got off the ship to get some fresh air. They had sailed thousands of miles and were almost exhausted for more than a month. Now that they have arrived in the New World, naturally everyone
I want to visit the mainland!
There were thousands of gold diggers who came here with the Cui family's fleet. They all wanted to come to the New World to make a fortune. They didn't know that they had come to the wrong place because of the star magician. They thought they had arrived in Jinshan City.
Yang Feng and others felt happy when they saw so many cadres. Even if they could only keep a small number, it would be a big supplement for them. Many people even wanted to recruit more people secretly.
Only Zhang Baiqi said politely to the steward: "Are your Cui family fleet interested in helping Guihua City transport food, cloth and other daily necessities? It can be said that we in Guihua City need all kinds of goods now, and we can do it 10 times better than Da.
Purchase the goods you have transported at a price!”
The butler smiled bitterly and said: "General Zhang, please don't embarrass me. I don't know how to punish you for what happened today. If you really have such an idea, I can spread the news to Daqianhai."
Shang, but whether they come or not is not something I can keep!"
When Zhang Baiqi heard this, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you very much!"
Then he asked someone to bring a box of gold and said: "These are the money for the personnel's tickets!"
Then he asked his men to take out a bag of horseshoe gold and said: "These 10 pounds are my reward for you!"
The butler wanted to refuse, but with the charming eyes of gold, he still took the bag of gold!
At the same time, the gold diggers and sailors who entered Guihua City were a little stunned. They soon learned that this was not Jinshan City at all, but Guihua City. This was nothing to the sailors, they still rested and rested here.
Just keep going north.
】
But for the gold diggers, it was a bit of a bolt from the blue. They came to the New World hoping to make a fortune, but there was no gold here. How could they not be disappointed?
What makes them even more desperate is the price of goods in Guihua City!
A stone of wheat flour can be priced at 1,300 yuan here!
“Wheat flour made of gold doesn’t even have this price!”
A piece of woolen cloth actually costs tens of thousands of dollars. At this price, you can buy the best Sichuan brocade in Jidu.
A kitchen knife costs 200 yuan, and a plowshare costs 2,000 yuan. The price of everything here is more than 10 times more expensive than Jidu. Only a few items such as salt, sea fish and seafood can let them see the price of Jidu!
People who can come here can't be said to be poor, but they are definitely not from a good background. The prices of goods in Guihua City are so high, and these gold diggers find out helplessly that they can't survive here at all!
