Chapter 1,418 The Golden Clan, the best trading partner!
"The chief has an order! The other side has been confirmed to be a team coming to trade! The front row lowered their weapons, and the vanguard guards retreated to the bottom of the boat to rest! ...That's right! The chief asked the Ainu tribe to retreat half a mile back, and then
Sit down and rest for a while. Their formation has been completely messed up, and the leader of the team needs to be taught a lesson! But it is much better than last time..."
"The Kudo family has given the order! Dismount the Yabusuri horse to reorganize, and the spear samurai will rest where you are!..."
The two armies kept a safe distance and faced off for a long time. When they saw that they really couldn't fight, they both put down their weapons. A confrontation in front of the battle line is very exhausting, and a confrontation in armor is even more so. But right now, both sides are still wary.
It was impossible for the sergeants to remove their armor. And the envoys were constantly going back and forth on both sides of the river, increasing communication and mutual trust between the leaders of both sides.
"Blessed by Hachiman Bodhisattva! The group of heavily armored Yamata warriors finally retreated! The pressure these thirty people brought to me was much stronger than the three hundred Anton flags! It was just like the legendary picture book, Chengdu
A group of ghost warriors are just as scary! Oh! Shan Tao’s ghost warriors..."
The old man of the Kudo family sat on the horse, and his back could finally relax. His vigilant eyes were always chasing the group of heavily armored archers on the hillside, all the way to the galley team further behind. He was very sure that this was the new weapon taken by the Shantao chief.
A team of heavily armored warriors appeared!
Each of them is as tall as an iron tower, and they have never appeared in last year's battle. There are also those tall Jurchen horses, each of which is as good as the owner's mount. The terrifying fighting power of these iron tower warriors comes from the fierce tiger-like momentum.
, you can get a glimpse of it. He definitely doesn’t want to try it himself!…
"Gods and Buddhas! The power shown by this Shantao tribe is becoming more and more powerful! What else is hidden behind them? Is this an extraordinarily powerful Yuan Kou tribe, or an alliance of many tribes?...
"
The elder Kudo fell into deep thought. He was vaguely aware of the growth of the power of this "golden clan" and its relationship with the "gold trade". Just like the large armors on those iron tower warriors, it always gave him a familiar feeling.
The Japanese style is very much like the transformation of iron armor from the past. The "gold trade" of the Oyizaki family is like feeding a young tiger. Once the tiger grows up, the strength of the two parties is no longer equal...
"O Great Bodhisattva Hachiman! The Oyizaki clan must grow in strength as soon as possible! The family must annex Matsumae as soon as possible and completely control Wajin and Japan. The sooner the better!"
"Owner! This is a return gift from Chief Shantao!..."
"Hmm? This weight? This is?..."
On the Benzai merchant ship, Morino Kiyoshi took the exquisite wooden box sent to him. When he opened it, the shining golden light came into view. Two pieces of gold, weighing a full kilogram, were pressed proudly on his cassock and robe, and there was a
A piece of bark letter paper. The handwriting on this letter paper seems to be written by a rare quill pen, and is very thin.
The handwriting that curves like a picture also looks very special. Most of it is in Chinese, and there are also some pictographic variants spelled out in simple radicals. You can roughly guess the meaning. Although this kind of writing is based on Chinese as the skeleton, it does not
Unlike the regular script, cursive script or official script he had come across before, it had a more ancient flavor...
"The gift will be calculated in return. You give me two talisman gold nuggets... hmm? What does this say?..."
Morino Kiyoshi carefully studied it for a while, and then he realized that the letter from Shan Tao was written horizontally from left to right, with commas to help break sentences. The words used in the reply were also very plain and easy to understand at a glance.
"Two gold talismans are given to you. They are considered as a return gift..."
"I don't want this field pattern silk dress anymore!..."
"Your letter is so messed up that I can't understand it. Write better next time!"
Seeing this, Morino Kiyoshi touched his chin. The Shantao chief of the "Golden Clan" seemed to have inherited some culture, but not much? And the other party's return gift was really generous and refreshing, and he gave it two pounds of gold!
You must know that although those two silk clothes are high-quality products produced locally in Shancheng Country, as a local wealthy businessman, the cost of acquiring them directly from the workshop is less than 4 taels of gold. And the return gift of these two kilograms of 32 taels is
A full eight times! What a huge profit!... This "Golden Clan" is truly worthy of its name! The most among them should be...
"God bless... I've seen the catalog. I want them all! Just the last price!"
"Trading by the river. Deliver the goods with one hand and gold with the other!"
"Hmm? This strange word? Is it the bird pattern on the back of the golden charm?..."
Morinoqing's eyes moved, and he first looked at the strange "hummingbird picture and text" that represented the main god. Although he did not recognize this new Mexica character that meant "main god", he saw it behind those golden symbols.
Many times, this seems to be the totem of the Shantao tribe? Is it the "condor" worshiped by Yuan Kou?…
Then, his pupils shrank and he looked surprised.
"Do you really want them all?! If you add up all this batch of goods, there will be dozens or hundreds of kilograms of gold! The Shantar people... no, the Golden Clan, can they really take it out? It's not easy to get credit! ... And
The selling price of this batch of goods, minus the cost, is twice, no, three times the huge profit!…”
Thinking of this, Morino Qing's heart was ups and downs. He looked at the Shanta Chief on the galley opposite, as if he saw the "Buddha" covered in golden light. "Buddha" Zuwaro smiled, nodded to him, and pointed
Pointing to the long river, he said a brief Nahua language. Although Morino Kiyoshi couldn't hear the other person's words or understand the other person's mouth shape, he instantly understood the meaning of this sentence!
"Buddha is here, he has enough gold!..."
"Xiang Erlang!..."
"Owner?..."
"Start trading! First trade the two ships of cattle and horses! Then trade the ship of craftsmen! Then the ship of rice, and finally trade the ship of tea, wine, salt, iron pots, weapons and armor!..."
"Yes! Owner!..."
Soon, the neighing of a large herd of cattle and horses could be heard by the meandering river, as well as the shouts of warriors from both sides. Whenever a warrior from the kingdom led two cows or three horses, he would give Xiang Erlang a gold talisman.
! And there was a huge mess, four male buffaloes, twenty female buffaloes, and thirty mares. After the transaction, there were twenty-two gold talismans and twenty-two kilograms of gold!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the transaction of the two ships of cattle and horses was completed, the warriors of the kingdom were all smiles. Especially those short mares, which made the warriors extra careful. Because, every additional horse
A mare can give birth to one more pony every year. And as long as the horse herd grows stronger, each of their warriors can become a mounted infantryman or even a cavalry!
"Buddha...Buddha! Twenty-two kilograms and eight taels of gold? According to 1 kilogram of gold and 90 copper coins, that's two thousand and twenty-five guan?! Two thousand guan of big money, just...right on my back?!...
"
At this moment, the twenty-two kilograms of gold directly bent Xiang Erlang's back. He was trembling all over and stuttered when speaking. Just in case, he looked across the way warily and hurried back to the boat.
Put the "backbag" filled with gold in front of the owner of Morino Kiyoshi!
"Owner of the house! Two boats of cattle and horses, twenty-four cows, thirty horses, sold for 22 catties and eight taels of gold! These Shantar people's gold talismans are very heavy, and there are even more... This is really the biggest
He is a very angry trading partner, much more heroic than the big business groups in Sakai Port!…”
"Yeah! I've seen it all! ...Does the Ando family know about this weight?"
"He only knew it was twenty-two pounds."
"Then let's calculate it as twenty-two pounds! What is our cost?..."
"Ah... I purchased 12 guan for each Omi cow and 10 guan for each Mutsu mare. Including the cows and horses handed over to the Oyezaki family, I purchased a lot this time and the price was relatively low... The total cost was 588 guan.
It’s about 6 pounds and 5 taels of gold, and the net profit is about 300% compared to the cost!…”
"Hmm... Shojiro, based on the market price in Mutsu. We have to give 'half' of the dividend to the Uyizaki family, and the agreement with them is all at the 'market price'."
"Ah yes! Owner, I understand!..."
Xiang Erlang quickly bowed and once again performed the skill of abacus and mental arithmetic. As a businessman from the three East Asian countries, if you don't even know how to do abacus and mental arithmetic, you will be just a low-level trainee or a surrogate for the rest of your life. As for the gold of Central American businessmen
Weighing by kilograms and packing spices at a level that Xiang Erlang has never heard of, let alone unimaginable!…
"According to the market price, Omi beef is 15 guan each, and the Mutsu mare is also 15 guan... That is 810 guan, converted into 9 kilograms of gold! And based on the income of 22 kilograms of gold, the net profit of 13 kilograms, half of which is given to the Uyizaki family... which is 6
8 taels per catty!…”
"Well, the income is 22 kilograms and 8 taels, the cost is 6 kilograms and 5 taels, the dividend is 6 kilograms and 8 taels, and the net income is 9 kilograms and 11 taels... The dividends given to the Uyizaki family are still a little too much! But it doesn't matter, most of these dividends
, will be converted into transported materials, and then delivered to the Uyizaki clan, and you can still make another 30% profit!…”
As the owner of the rice house, Morino Kiyoshi's mental arithmetic is naturally better than that of Xiang Erlang. In just a few breaths, he calculated the profit that purely belonged to the rice house in this trade. Then, with his shining eyes, he stared at the brilliant light
A box of golden talismans seemed to be shrouded in infinite golden light in an instant!
"Buddha's golden light! If you calculate it this way, the gold trade with the Shantar people, even if you don't count the extra power of the gold in my hands, even if it is just the value of the gold itself! ... it is still 200% of the net profit!"
"And if you add gold's leverage effect, reputation effect, gift effect, and market development effect, the potential return that this 'Shan Tao Trade' can bring in the future... will at least triple, which is a full 600% return!
"
After calculating all this, Morino Qing suddenly raised his head, bowed deeply in the direction of Zuvarro, and bowed for ten breaths. After successfully attracting Zuvarro's attention, he straightened his head.
Yi Guan pointed to the riverside where the transaction was taking place and said with a calm smile.
"Xiang Erlang! Take two monk soldiers and get off the ship with me!... I want to personally introduce the Kinki craftsmen on the third ship to the respected Golden Clan and to my best trading partner, the Mongolian chief from the north!
