Because Wei Shilei never drives away merchant ships, there are really many fleets following him.
They made arrangements before they got ashore. After the fleet docked in Dinghai County, the caravans needed to wait in the sea for one to two days, and they had to wait until the fleet was arranged eastward to dock one after another before they could dock.
In fact, it was just a day and night. At the beginning of the second day, at 7 a.m., merchant ships docked one after another.
This is the third time that Siam businessman Su Cha has come to Daqing. Compared with others, he is more experienced.
Su Cha did not hide his personal information, and told them about his business experiences along the way.
When I first got off the boat, this seaside town had a short house and the roof was mostly woven with water plants. The man was worn out and thin. He would keep staring at people who were dressed in weird clothes, and he would also give advice and laugh...
It takes a long time to walk west before entering the town. The prosperity of the town is very different from the beach. The streets are like chessboards, crisscrossing. Most of the people coming and going are wearing beautiful silk clothes, and women will wear them on their heads, ears, hands, etc.
Many gems are very rich and prosperous.
The better thing is that they are mostly very afraid of the Gentiles. No matter what your attitude is, they would otherwise hide from you, and some would bend down to smile at you.
As for doing business, there is a very prosperous street in this town, where you find something you are interested in, and then take out your things to discuss with it... They will use a paper currency, but it's a pity that it
He didn't know how to replace it, so he didn't agree, and he always regretted it.
After several days of sailing, Su Cha kept telling you repeatedly, and he talked about it several times on the night when he was about to dock.
But when it was finally their turn to dock, the sailor in front said in surprise: "Is this the dilapidated town you mentioned?"
Su Cha turned around and was stunned.
At this time, the city walls can be seen from afar.
On the shore near the water, many tall signs written in various languages were erected, indicating the direction of the city gate.
In addition, there are many people wearing various clothes holding smaller signs.
There were caravans that had already been docked, and the caravans had unloaded their goods. The small caravans carried their carry-ons, and the two carried them together. The caravans even carried horses. Some caravans used sheep to pull carts, while others were pulling carts with manpower.
, move forward one after another.
Then they said a few words to those who held the small signs, and the people who held the small signs followed them.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't see the words on the small sign clearly, and people around them kept asking: "Su Cha, what is this?"
Su Cha could only shake his head and looked shocked: "I have never seen it before."
So they had to wait for the dock, and the others were busy unloading the goods. Su Cha walked forward alone and soon saw the words on these small signs clearly.
For example, there is a brand that uses suspected Chinese characters and Siamese, "I am a general translator, and can accompany you to apply for foreign licenses and road guides, introduce the storage place, customs and customs, and assist in the sale of goods, etc.
…The wages are ten taels of silver per day, or two kilograms of soma.”
Su Cha understood the words of the superiors and walked over. The young man dressed in scholarly immediately greeted him in extremely fluent Siamese and skillfully introduced himself and his business.
With bright eyes and smooth words, how can you wince at all?
Su Cha asked clearly what "foreign business license" and "luoyin" meant. After hesitating for a while, he brought the man back and introduced it to the leader of the caravan.
Caravans like them account for more than 80% of them, and nowadays, translations are scarce. Even if someone brings them, I think it is better to find a Chinese. After all, even if I have been here, I don’t know what kind of Maritime Affairs Department is.
where.
But no matter when, there are always people who are stubborn and think that I can do small scenes; or they are guilty and have some thoughts.
They didn't find a translation and entered the city smoothly, which made them feel relieved.
The scenery in the city is completely renewed.
Someone who has been here, including Su Cha, was stunned and felt that there was something wrong with his memory. It was only a few years later... How could that dilapidated fishing village become like this? Did they come last time
Not here?
Those who have never been here are constantly sighing at the beauty and prosperity here, and are amazed by completely different civilizations.
A sudden burst of amazement.
Most caravans, under the guidance of gentle translation, checked in, registered and stored goods very smoothly. After asking for their opinions, they were taken by translation and tasted the Chinese delicacies that made people lose their tongues. It was comfortable.
Rest of clothing.
The caravan that did not ask for a local translation was also asked about multiple inns, and finally found an inn that could be stayed in. After paying the rent and signing a disclaimer, they finally rented their backyard to store goods. They still need to keep someone at night.
Vigil.
The next day, Tongzhi stumbled about the license, and the waiter of the inn pointed to the place, and they also found the Maritime Department.
However, the Maritime Department needs to apply for a license, which means that the number of people, identity and goods need to be checked.
They have no inventory orders.
Only on the list provided by the Maritime Department, I asked from door to door, and finally found the inn with an empty warehouse, and then went to the room again, and took the registration form to handle it. After two days, I finally got it done and spent a waste of time.
A lot of money wasted.
But, that's the same thing.
No matter when or at any step, you will be stubborn.
So, many people don’t take permits, road sensations seriously at all. Isn’t it the same before?
So they enjoyed the fun in the city, and three days later, they were swept out by the inn.
Because when checking in, I had already said that there was no road guide, so I could only stay for three days. After three days, I would not be allowed to continue checking in at most.
At this time, these people were far from being spoiled by some foreign garbage, and they were driven out, and they could only honestly find a translator again and enter again...
So, it’s great to obey orders and obey commands?
I will also worry if you save trouble.
There are also some smart people who think that these things are necessary?
So what if I do it or not, do I have the goods? Are I still worried about selling it?
Then they will find that without a license, no store or even individual will do business with them.
Without road guide, you can only return to the beach from the original East City Gate. No other city gate is allowed to enter and exit.
If they really have a certain degree of hard work and decide to return to the beach and then go around other towns and sneak in, they will find that the situation is the same and they are still repeating the steps here.
If someone with ulterior motives has obtained a license and then takes the road quotation to go to other places, he will find that the Daqing Foreign Affairs Department has issued an order that foreign businessmen are not allowed to enter the number listed except the coastal areas.
In areas outside the city, the control is strictly controlled and it is impossible to give more money!
But in short, with the cooperation of most people, Daqing's maritime trade opened a new and glorious page.
