Even though the emperor is wearing casual clothes now, they are still clothes that the emperor has worn, but they are extraordinary!
Half an hour later, Emperor Dexuan and Jiang Hongxuan entered the hall looking refreshed.
Song Hao and others sat there all the time, wondering what was said and how many cups of tea they drank.
"Brother Song, do you know why the people on the street were throwing water at them just now?"
As soon as Jiang Hongxuan finished speaking, Emperor Dexuan, whose complexion had softened a lot after taking a bath, became livid again when he remembered how embarrassed he had been just now.
In his opinion, these despicable people from other countries probably thought they were easy to bully, which is why they acted like this.
Most people here must know about them, after all, they brought so many big ships here at once.
I heard the translator and Yan Shiqing say before that the boats they sailed were the largest and largest so far.
He couldn't believe that the people here wouldn't pay attention to such an eye-catching object.
If this is the case, then if they dare to break him, it is done deliberately.
It’s really hatefully tight!
This is not the case in the Hongwu Kingdom. Otherwise, if everyone is so rebellious, even if they are not punished by the nine tribes, they will have to confiscate their homes to vent their hatred.
Song Hao and others didn't know what Emperor Dexuan was thinking, so they smiled and explained: "This is the Water Splashing Festival. The Cangming Kingdom has this festival every year at this time. It seems that you are here by chance. Otherwise, it happens to happen.
You may not be able to touch it in the coming year. Speaking of which, this Water Splashing Festival is also very particular. The general idea of people here is that splashing water will make you happy. Symbolizing good luck, happiness, and health, water flowers bloom in the sky. It is said that it is.
The more you get splashed and the wetter you get, the more blessings you receive..."
When Emperor Dexuan heard that it was a blessing, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. He thought for a time that these people saw him as easy to bully, that's why they acted like this.
He never thought that people were blessing him. However, this blessing was too different, and it made people wet all over, which really made people unhappy!
Jiang Hongxuan came here after hearing Song Hao's talk. When he heard that the Water Splashing Festival lasted for several days and what it symbolized like love, strength, dance, etc., his eyes lit up.
It seems that in addition to doing some business, they can take Yi Ning to see the exotic customs of this foreign country, so that their trip will not be in vain.
After Song Hao finished introducing the Water Splashing Festival in the Cangming Kingdom, he glanced at the thoughtful Emperor Dexuan and invited him: "If the Emperor and the Jiangdong family are not in a hurry to leave, why don't we leave it to us these days?"
Can I take you to experience the fun of this Water Splashing Festival?"
For Song Hao and others, as long as they can make Jiang Hongxuan and the emperor of their country happy, they will definitely benefit from them in the future.
Meeting each other in a foreign country is also a kind of fate. In addition, each of them has an extraordinary identity and can make them happy, which is a great blessing for the four of them. yyls
Besides, the Jiangdong family and the emperor are all here, so the King Mo and his wife of Da Chu must be here too.
Not to mention other benefits, as long as it can make Princess Mo happy, she can write a letter of introduction to them later and ask them to take it to Nuanxiang Pavilion in the capital to find someone to purchase goods, that will be a huge wealth.
Even though they were making a lot of money by going back and forth in the Cangming Kingdom, in fact, not much actually came into their hands.
Their boats are rented out by the Maritime Safety Administration, which costs a large sum of money every year.
In addition, it is affiliated with the Maritime Safety Administration, and every time it goes to sea, more than half of the money earned is deducted from the commercial tax.
In the words of the Maritime Safety Bureau, they need to protect everyone's safety at sea. In addition, the emperor is stingy and does not allocate funds to the Maritime Safety Bureau. Naturally, the expenses of so many officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau, large and small, have to be borne by them.
Businessmen doing business dig.
What's more, ships need maintenance every year, which costs money and is approved by the emperor.
So, what else do they have to say?
Instead of running overseas like this every year, with most of the money earned ending up in the hands of the Maritime Safety Administration, and not being able to spend much time with his family, it would be better to hang out with Princess Mo.
Didn’t you hear that Lianfu in the capital had a hard time in the past few years, but then he got better after working with Princess Mo?
It seems that although the emperor's business tax is high, but even so, the money earned by the Lianfu is enough for them to envy.
They don't expect to be the same as Lianfu, but at least they can have some soup while Lianfu eats meat.
If Lian Fu was afraid that selling them in Hongwu would affect his interests, then it would be the same if they took the things and sold them in Cangming Kingdom.
The items produced by Nuanxiang Pavilion are of high quality. If they could be shipped out, the price would probably not be as cheap as those of tea, silk, and porcelain.
What's more, Princess Mo also owns the glass kiln. If the glass bowls and other items that have been developed in the past six months can be sold here, they are sure that the price will be higher than those of porcelain bowls.
Jiang Hongxuan naturally didn't know what Song Hao and others had in mind, but it could be seen that they were trying to please him, or Emperor Dexuan.
After hearing this, he shook his head and said: "Let's talk about this another day. There are so many people in our group, so it may be inconvenient. By the way, Brother Song, I have something to ask you. I don't know if you are here to do business.
Who are you in contact with, and who are you selling the goods you brought over in the past? In other words, do you need to go somewhere to trade? What are the items and how much is their price?"
Song Hao, Shen Chuyang and others looked at each other and then made a decision.
They had heard about this before, but they only heard about it and didn't take it seriously.
It seems this rumor is true!
However, Jiang Dongjia and Princess Mo are businessmen, so it makes sense to bring things to sell when they come out.
But why did the emperor of Hongwu Kingdom's eyes blaze when he heard this?
Could it be that the emperor also brought goods out and wanted to do business like them?
For a moment, Shen Chuyang and others did not dare to imagine any more, so they had to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, the Maritime Safety Administration of our Hongwu Kingdom has a cooperative relationship with this place, at least the Qiaobo City where we are located in the Cangming Kingdom. Every time we will
After the things are shipped out, you can just settle the matter with the people of Qiaobo City Lord here. There are regulations on what things and what prices are. Of course, most of them are silk, porcelain, tea, etc. Others
Small items can be freely traded privately. For example, people who have not bought a house here, every time they need to stay in an inn, they will give those small items to those inns and use them as rent. And those who open inns,
Just resell the thing."
When Jiang Hongxuan heard this, he glanced at Emperor Dexuan subconsciously. Seeing his frown, he asked again: "Is this always the case? The things you transport are delivered directly to the city lord? Except for this Qiao Bo
Outside the city, haven’t you visited other places in the Cangming Kingdom? How do you settle the settlement every time? Do you use goods?”
"There are very few silver coins for settlement, and most of them are bartered, and then transported back to the Hongwu Kingdom for sale. However, after waiting for so many years, I have also heard that gold here is extremely cheap, and I want to use gold for settlement, but this is not realistic. .I heard that the Maritime Safety Bureau has talked with the city lord here, as long as the goods are free of charge, but in fact, people from the Maritime Safety Bureau come here every year to discuss with the city lord."
While Shen Chuyang was speaking, he glanced at Song Hao, and then carefully forgot to glance at Emperor Dexuan. Seeing that he was not angry, he had the courage to file a complaint and said: "I heard that the Maritime Safety Administration receives from the city lord every year A lot of gold was taken away, I don’t know the exact amount, but there is a saying.”
As he spoke, he changed the topic and added: "Compared to getting the gold directly, we have lost a bit. But here we are, blessed by the city lord, and rarely use silver. Every time we get here, we will lose money." I transported the things back to Hongwu Kingdom and sold them, and the price was quite good."
Although he said this, the regret in his eyes could not be concealed. They did not dare not to cooperate with the city lord easily, otherwise they would offend not only the city lord, but also the Maritime Safety Administration of their Hongwu Kingdom.
In Shen Chuyang's view, if their emperor really transported things to sell, it would definitely not be given directly to the city lord.
Even if it is to be given to the city lord, it is impossible to barter, and it will be easier for the Maritime Safety Bureau to do so.
Even if the Maritime Safety Administration can cover the sky with one hand, can it be bigger than the emperor?
The city lords here dare to swallow their emperor's head, so they are really brave.
Even if their emperor is willing, how can King Mo and his wife agree?
They knew that King Mo was quite tough and courageous.
With him here, Princess Mo can do some business and earn a little money. Who dares to be so shameless as to blackmail her for what she deserves?
Aren't you afraid that King Mo will let his men deal with it?
In the first few years, they were quite aware of what happened when King Mo led his men to attack Ningshou Mansion in their Hongwu Kingdom.
It only took a few days for it to be taken down.
It is said that the weapons in King Mo's hands are very powerful. If you throw a few black things at them, you can break down the city gate in minutes.
Speaking of which, they really wanted to see whether Princess Mo and their emperor from the Hongwu Kingdom had brought anything to sell, who they had made a deal with in the end, and how much gold they got.
Emperor Dexuan felt envious and angry at the same time.
He has always known that the Maritime Safety Administration is very profitable, so he has been jealous of it for a long time.
But it was the home of the second brother Qi Yan's mother-in-law, so he just endured it and didn't take action.
But he never expected that the Maritime Safety Administration would be so bold.
It's clear that you can earn a lot of gold from the Cangming Kingdom, but you still suppress the merchants like this and line your own pockets. It's really hateful!
It would be fine if these were all his, but they weren't.
Presumably they were afraid that he would find out, so they secretly swallowed it themselves. They said that he, the emperor, was the richest man in Hongwu Kingdom, but it seemed that was not the case.
The Maritime Safety Administration must have received a lot of gold from the Cangming Kingdom over the years. I wonder how much it would be converted into silver?
The man named Shen Chuyang just said that gold here is cheap. How cheap it is, he doesn't know yet.
