Hearing the words of Shouning Hou Zhang Yanling, Cui Wenjin nodded slightly, then stood up and nodded slightly to the person next to him. The other person immediately understood and quickly took out a map and hung it up.
"Everyone, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company originally planned to go to Nanyang alone this time and open up a route to Nanyang. But now that everyone knows, we don't mind taking him with us to Nanyang."
"Of course, there are no rules. All trading houses, fleets or individuals who want to go to Nanyang with us must abide by the rules."
Cui Wenjin looked at everyone and realized that Liu Jin had deliberately let people know that Tianjin Ocean Trading Company was going to open a route to Nanyang. The purpose was to let everyone follow him to the Nanyang region to make a fortune.
In Liu Jin's view, there is endless money in the world. It is the truth to allow more people to earn more money. Only then will more people support the emerging capitalism, and only in this way will there be
More sufficient motivation to promote Ming Dynasty's continuous external expansion.
Hearing Cui Wenjin's words, everyone nodded slightly. This is what everyone expected. Tianjin Ocean Trading House is willing to let everyone play, which is already very good. There must be rules, so that everyone can feel more at ease, and even
Everyone is actually ready to be slaughtered.
As long as Tianjin Ocean Trading Company doesn't go too far, everyone will be willing to buy a ticket to visit the Nanyang region.
"The rules of our Tianjin Ocean Trading House are very simple, there are not many, only the following points."
Cui Wenjin's words also made everyone prick up their ears and listen carefully, for fear of missing every word.
"First, all fleets, trading houses, and individuals who want to follow the Nanyang region must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Fleet and are not allowed to act without authorization. If they want to leave or return early, they must also obtain our permission.
.”
"Second, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is not responsible for your fleet. If your fleet has problems at sea, you will bear all the losses yourself."
"Third, all caravans and fleets heading to the Nanyang region must maintain the same price for their goods in the Nanyang region, and must not maliciously lower the price."
"Fourth, if pirates are encountered during the voyage, all ships of Japan must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company."
Cui Wenjin's voice was very loud and clear, and everyone present could hear it clearly. Everyone in the audience nodded at the same time. These demands were not excessive, and there were no overlord clauses that everyone had expected.
"As long as you are willing to abide by the above four rules, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company will very much welcome any fleet, caravan, or individual who is willing to go to Nanyang."
"Our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has always been based on the principle that everyone can make money together, and we are very happy to go overseas with you to earn more wealth."
Cui Wenjin looked at everyone and said with a smile.
This is what Liu Jin said to him, and Liu Jin has always practiced this. Everyone makes money together. Each business is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are making money.
"Just these four?"
Xu Long asked in disbelief, these items are too simple.
"Yes, that's four."
"It's up to everyone whether they want to go or not. Whether they can make money or suffer losses after going to Nanyang is everyone's responsibility. Our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is just playing a leading role. Everyone is willing
If you don’t want to, then let’s go overseas to make a fortune together, and we won’t force you if you don’t want to.”
Cui Wenjin nodded and replied.
“The conditions are quite relaxed~”
After hearing this, Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling nodded slightly. At the same time, he wondered whether Liu Jin had a brain problem or if he was really a good person.
Such a good opportunity, if he were to do it.
Apart from anything else, if you want to go to Nanyang with us, each family must first pay tens of thousands of taels of silver. This is called a ticket, otherwise no one will think you are going to play.
Then if you want to go to Nanyang, you can, you have to buy my boat, how much goods to buy in my many industries, etc. In short, you have to maximize your own interests. There is no free lunch in the world.
This Liu Jin is good, the conditions are so simple, it can even be said that he takes everyone to Nanyang to make a fortune for nothing, it is simply sacrificing himself for others.
He knew that in order to open the Nanyang route this time, Liu Jin had made a lot of preparations, investing only several million taels of money, and now he was willing to take everyone to the Nanyang area for free.
I really can’t figure it out~
But he couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stop him from going to Nanyang to make a fortune.
"Let me tell you about our itinerary. Our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company's fleet is expected to officially set sail for the Nanyang region in half a month, on February 15th, the 13th year of Hongzhi's reign."
"So if you want to go with us, you can make preparations during this period, including ships, cargo, and corresponding navigation supplies, etc."
"In addition, the entire voyage is expected to take almost eight months. We will first arrive at Ryukyu City on Ryukyu Island. After resupplying here in Ryukyu City, we will go directly to Luzon. After Luzon, we will go to Annan and Siam, and finally
Arrive in the Strait of Malacca area, and then decide whether to continue to South Asia and Arabia based on the situation."
Cui Wenjin smiled, then took out a small wooden stick and started to explain the formation arrangements this time to the huge map behind him.
Traveling to the Nanyang region is completely different from traveling to the Golden Continent.
Traveling to the Nanyang region is less risky, the voyage is short, and there is land along the way, where you can replenish and rest at any time, and there are countries along the way.
In fact, it is more convenient and closer to go to Nanyang from the Fujian and Guangdong areas of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to be on the safe side, you can also take the route of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Annan, and go south along the coastline. This is the safest route.
Even without the many advanced navigation skills and experience taught by Liu Jin, merchants in the Ming Dynasty often traveled to and from the Nanyang region. The big merchants and families in the Jiangnan region had always monopolized this business, so they made a lot of money.
There are only two dangers when traveling to Nanyang.
One is robbery by pirates and Japanese pirates, and the other is typhoon.
Japanese pirates and pirates are very rampant in the Nanyang region and the Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang regions of the Ming Dynasty. There are many large and small pirate groups, and there are many Japanese pirate groups. Some of them are very powerful and specialize in occupying certain important routes to collect tolls. All of them
Caravans heading to the Nanyang region must pay tolls honestly, otherwise there will be no way to do business.
There are also some who are very weak and only have a few broken ships, but they also dare to rob passing merchant ships here. With the huge profit business, just one success will be enough for them to live for a long time.
The composition of these Japanese pirates and pirates is also very complex. There are fishermen in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty who gradually turned into pirates, there are also Japanese pirates formed by wandering warriors from Japan and Korea, and there are also pirates from Southeast Asia.
In addition, these pirates and Japanese pirates often have close ties with the big families and big businessmen in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and the Jiangnan area. Many of them are even supported by these big families and big businessmen to monopolize their wealth.
tool.
In fact, many people in the Ming Dynasty knew that it was very profitable to do business in the Nanyang region. The silk, porcelain, and tea of the Ming Dynasty were very valuable in the Nanyang region. A piece of silk could be sold for several taels of gold.
Similarly, ivory, jewelry, jade, etc. from the Nanyang region were even more expensive than gold in the Ming Dynasty. Ivory was very common in the Nanyang region, but it was a rarity in the Ming Dynasty. Only the real nobles could afford it.
This time, the profits are astonishingly large.
But even if they knew that it was very profitable to go to Nanyang, no one dared to go. One was that the imperial court had been enforcing a routine sea ban. Except for the official fleet, sails were not allowed to go to sea, and even fishing at sea was illegal.
The second one is the numerous pirates and Japanese pirates in the Nanyang region. These people often collude with big families and big businessmen. If anyone goes to the Nanyang region, they will know about it soon.
As long as you are not one of your own, you will definitely be robbed by these pirates and Japanese pirates. Not only will you lose everything, but you will also be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Over time, the huge trade profits to the Nanyang region were controlled by the big families and businessmen in the Jiangnan region. Only their ships could safely travel to and from the Nanyang region, making their mouths full of oil.
Apart from pirates and Japanese pirates, the biggest risk is typhoons.
Typhoons are very common in the Western Pacific. From Guangxi and Qiongzhou in the south of the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong in the north, typhoons are still a must-see every year even in North Korea and the Japanese country.
It is said that the Mongol Empire sent several large armies to conquer Japan but failed due to typhoons. Therefore, when sailing in this area, ships are often very important, and luck is also very important.
Liu Jin, who came from later generations, is still very clear about typhoons. He knows that the most frequent seasons for typhoons are summer and autumn. Now that it is winter, it is very safe to go to Nanyang. When coming back, it is also safe in winter.
ensure.
Of course, if you frequently travel to and from Nanyang in the future, you still need to constantly summarize your experience with typhoons and master the rules of typhoon occurrence. After all, there is no future meteorological technology that can use satellites to detect typhoons in space.
Everyone listened carefully as Cui Wenjin explained the itinerary arrangements. This was very important because it related to how everyone should prepare.
At the same time, someone hurriedly ran downstairs and said a few rules Cui Wenjin said. Suddenly everyone on the seventh floor couldn't help but cheer. This condition was too loose. Many people were originally worried that they were not strong enough to go to Nanyang.
People in the area secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
