In the Tianjin Port, with the ringing of bells, everyone once again looked at the connection between the sea and the sky, and saw five big fortune ships heading towards the Tianjin Port rapidly.
"I'm finally back. The changes here in Tianjin Port are so great."
On board the Kunlun, Du Mingen looked at the Tianjin Port with a telescope. At this time, the Tianjin Port had completely lost the scene it had just left, and had undergone tremendous changes.
The port built with cement is very grand, neat and flat. Coupled with the shipyard near the port, the family area of the shipyard, etc., it gives Du Mingen a sense of the changes in the sea and the changes in things and people. The changes are really too great.
Already.
The ship was getting closer and closer to Tianjin Port. Here at the port, the stewards responsible for port management also began to be busy. Small ships began to row towards the five Dafu ships.
These five ships have become unfamiliar with everything here when they go to North Korea, so they need pilots to guide them to the corresponding docks. At the same time, they start to arrange for the people who have just unloaded to prepare to unload the five Dafu ships.
"Ship to North Korea?"
Li Dongyang looked at the Dafu Ship getting closer and closer, and looked at Liu Jin beside him with some doubts.
"That's it, Mr. Li."
Liu Jin smiled and said: "The journey to the Golden Continent is very long and dangerous. Although these crew members have gone through a certain amount of study, their training is far from adequate, so I divided these students into two groups."
"One group will conduct sea training in the offshore area, and they will also fish by the way. The other group will try to take a short-distance route first and conduct corresponding training. Only after completing these trainings will they fully master ocean navigation.
Only with advanced technology can we go to the Golden Continent.”
After listening to Liu Jin's words, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao nodded. Liu Jin was relatively reliable in doing things. At first, they thought that traveling to the Golden Continent thousands of miles away was a bit of a fantasy.
Now it seems that Liu Jin has his own detailed plan and has made full preparations in all aspects. He did not foolishly send the fleet directly to Huanghuangzhou from the beginning. Instead, he first conducted systematic theoretical study and then
Then I carried out practical training at sea and went on a short voyage, making sufficient preparations.
"Of course, this trip to North Korea will definitely not be in vain. By the way, I will also go to North Korea to do business, earn some money, and then buy some food back."
Liu Jin changed the subject and said with a smile.
"Business?"
"Buying food?"
Li Dongyang and Zhou Jing looked at each other. In fact, they had already guessed in their hearts that Liu Jin always did things without profit and did not get up early, whether it was making briquettes and glass in the capital or fishing on the sea in Tianjin.
Although everything benefits the country and the people, Liu Jin also earns huge profits from it. A small briquette can actually earn a million taels of silver a year. As for the glass, it can make tens of thousands of dollars a day.
Gold made Liu Jin and Prince Zhu Houzhao earn a lot of money.
This crew training is all about fishing. This trip to North Korea will probably not be in vain.
"Boy, this is a small business, after all, you should put your mind on the imperial examination, and don't lose big for small things."
Zhou Jing looked at Liu Jin and said seriously.
Since ancient times, businessmen have not had much status. Only scholars have status and can enter the center of power in this era. As for businessmen, what if they are rich?
You still have to kneel down when you see a seventh-grade official. Even if he has a fortune, he is still just a merchant. Scholars look down on these merchants the most. When talking about merchants, there is disdain in their eyes.
A glance.
Zhou Jing cherished the talent of Liu Jin, so he solemnly reminded him not to forget about the imperial examination and to focus on it.
"Boy knows~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly raised his hands and replied.
Although I don't quite agree with Zhou Jing's views, the other party has good intentions after all. What's more, the status of scholars in this era is indeed too high, and it is also true that although businessmen have money, they have no status.
Everyone did not wait too long. Five Dafu ships slowly moored to the pier from far to near. Liu Jin took Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others to the pier where the Kunlun was parked.
The boat had just docked, and Du Mingen, who had been impatient for a long time, walked off at the lead, and immediately saw Liu Jin and others walking at the front.
"Haha, Lao Du, welcome back!"
Liu Jin stepped forward and expressed his welcome with a smile.
"I'm finally back. The changes here are so big."
Du Mingen looked around, smiled and said.
"Of course it's big, how about it? Did the trip go well?"
Liu Jin nodded and said.
"Smooth, very smooth."
Du Mingen then said: "According to Mr. Liu's method, we arrived in North Korea very smoothly. This North Korea is indeed a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and respects the Ming Dynasty very much."
"After I heard that there was a famine in the Ming Dynasty, King Yanshan of Korea directly ordered the grain from his official warehouse to be moved to support us. This time I returned home with a full load."
After Du Mingen finished speaking, he turned back to the other people on board the Kunlun and said, "Brothers, the goods are loaded."
"Okay~"
On board the Kunlun, the sailors immediately started shouting and started to carry big boxes down one by one in pairs.
Each box seemed to be very heavy. Two big men struggled to carry a box to Liu Jin and others, put the box down, and then opened it directly.
"Wow~"
With the opening of the box, all the silver in the box was exposed. They were all ingots of silver, arranged neatly, filling the entire box full, and shining with a fascinating silver light.
.
The charm of silver is naturally endless. You must know that many poor people may have never seen silver in their lives. Now when they see a whole box of silver, they naturally open their mouths, widen their eyes, and let out a surprise.
voice.
Soon, the second box was also moved over, and it was also opened directly. It was also a box full of silver, one box after another. Soon, the entire dock was filled with boxes of silver, flashing.
The mesmerizing silver light, everyone in the entire port was deeply attracted by the piles of silver in front of them.
The port, which used to be busy with tens of thousands of people, became silent. Everyone stood on tiptoe desperately or found a higher place to look towards the dock. They saw a scene that these people will never forget.
Boxes of white money are deeply imprinted in my mind.
