Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Xixia was defeated and Liao retreated.

There was no external threat to the Song Dynasty, and Tong Guan quickly led the fleet back.

At Dengzhou Port, everyone is paying attention. Thousands of fleets from the Maritime Silk Road are about to land! Businessmen throughout the Song Dynasty were moved upon hearing the news!

"Back! The fleet is back!"

Countless merchants cheered, and soon, one fleet after another docked, and countless merchants came forward. Some were looking for their own merchant ships, and some were looking for a glimpse of the rare treasures of the South Seas.

However, the first business transaction was not made by them, but by Royal Bank Dengzhou Branch.

Maritime merchants carry a large amount of goods with them when they go to sea. When they return this time, they will definitely bring back a large amount of cash. For this money, the shopkeeper of the Dengzhou branch personally works at the dock.

Whenever a sea-going ship docked, a large amount of gold and silver would be transported back from the ship. The ship merchants went to sea for a year, but they did not expect that the Song Dynasty would have such convenient services.

And they often use flying money, and there is not much resistance to this. At that moment, they deposit the gold and silver in the Royal Bank and exchange it for silver dollars, or directly exchange it for deposits, or remit the flying money to their homes.

"So much money! Shenghai Company can make a lot of money this time."

A group of merchants couldn't help but be envious when they saw the huge amount of money being moved from the dock. It was real money and silver. Just transporting silk, porcelain and other goods from the Song Dynasty was enough for the maritime merchants to make a lot of money.

After the Royal Bank's business was completed, a group of Song Dynasty businessmen rushed forward.

Although gold and silver are valuable, they don't take up much space at all. In the huge sea ships, there are also rare treasures, spices, gems, etc. brought back from the Southeast Asian countries. The businessman's vision is so vicious, every goods brought back They are all worth a lot of money. As soon as they get off the ship, they are immediately robbed by merchants all over the world, and they are often sold at high prices.

"The profit from this trip to Nanyang is at least five times more, and the profit for some goods is as high as ten times!" A businessman smacked his tongue.

"Five times!"

All the merchants couldn't help but take a breath. When Tong Guan went to the East, it was only 70% of the profit, which already made the merchants of Song Dynasty excited.

Although the trip to Nanyang now takes nearly a year, the profit has increased fivefold.

Five times the profit is almost the same as the overland Silk Road controlled by the Liao Kingdom. However, the goods transported by sea far exceed the transportation of camels, which means that the Maritime Silk Road is far more profitable than the overland Silk Road.

During this trip to Nanyang, thousands of fleets gathered at the seaport. Even the Liao Kingdom was like a thorn in the back, not to mention the countries in the South China Sea. They were in panic. After Tong Guan sent an envoy to express his intention, he breathed a sigh of relief. Naturally, He didn't dare to be disrespectful at all, and he was even more courteous to the merchants of Song Dynasty.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty relied on the high-quality goods of the Song Dynasty, and the merchants who were willing to go to sea were all business elites. Facing the commercially backward countries of the South China Sea, they made a fortune and made a fortune. Merchants also carry goods from other countries, and by exchanging goods back and forth, profits are rolling in more and more.

“It’s so profitable to go to sea!”

With a fleet of a thousand ships and a large number of people, it was natural that many secrets could not be kept. The entire Song Dynasty business community was shocked. Such huge profits could not help but make everyone jealous, and they all came forward to find out what happened in Nanyang.

"Septicemia has been conquered. The evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil prescription is invincible. Although he has eaten mung bean sprouts for nearly a year, there has not been a single case of septicemia among a thousand ships." A sailor said with lingering fear.

At this moment, he felt like vomiting when he saw mung bean sprouts. Although mung bean sprouts are a life-saving medicine at sea, who can bear to eat mung bean sprouts all day long at sea? Only when we land can we have fresh vegetables to eat.

"You are also stubborn. If you are tired of eating mung bean sprouts, you can change the taste, such as soybean sprouts, peanut bean sprouts, etc." A merchant said jokingly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The sailor couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He couldn't even look at bean sprouts now.

"In addition, among the many countries in Southeast Asia, some knew the reputation of the Song Dynasty and admired the Song Dynasty very much. There were also barbarians who were uncivilized and wanted to rob the Shenzhou of the Song Dynasty when they saw it. In the end, they were defeated by the navy of the Song Dynasty and apologized honestly. compensation………………."

The sailor told about his magical experience in Nanyang, which immediately aroused exclamations from the onlookers, and even made many merchants who dared to take risks feel excited.

Furthermore, now that we have naval protection and mung bean sprouts to prevent diseases, although there are storms and waves, as long as we avoid the typhoon season, most people will be fine.

"Going to Nanyang is indeed a way to make money!" Many businessmen looked at each other and said solemnly.

More people are thinking that going to Nanyang is indeed a way to make money, and if they want to get on this way of making money, going to sea to make Tong Guan is the top priority.

After the goods from the ships were almost delivered, a huge Shenzhou docked, and Tong Guan, dressed in eunuch clothes, walked down the pier.

"Tong Guan!"

When all the merchants saw this scene, their eyes suddenly became hot. The reason why maritime merchants were able to earn so much money was indispensable to the hundreds of warships led by Tong Guan.

"Eunuch Tong, I wonder when will you go to sea next?"

"As long as Eunuch Tong gives the order, we will all go to sea to follow you."

........................

A group of businessmen shouted.

This trip to Nanyang can be said to be extremely smooth. With mung bean sprouts as green vegetables, there was no case of septicemia at sea. And with the protection of the navy, a thousand fleets returned safely. Businessmen pursued profits without too much risk. Many businessmen nowadays There are so many people coming, no matter what, you can’t miss the next time you go out to sea.

Seeing this scene, Tong Guan couldn't help but show a trace of satisfaction and said: "The next time we go to sea, we will set off in five months, but the purpose of this voyage will be the Western Ocean!"

"Sail to the West?"

All the merchants couldn't help but exclaimed.

They had already learned from the mouths of merchants and sailors that to the west of Nanyang, there were also the Western Ocean and many countries, including not only Tianzhu and other countries that the Song Dynasty was familiar with, but also the key points of the Overland Silk Road, Anxi, Dashi, and Qin. country.

"As we all know, the longer the voyage, the higher the profit. If you sail to the South Seas, you can get five times the profit. Then the profit of the voyage to the West is probably at least ten times more." A group of maritime merchants pondered in their minds and were suddenly greatly moved.

"Of course, this voyage will take longer, taking about two years, and the cost will also increase from guan to guan!" Tong Guan said next.

"Two years, a thousand dollars!"

The merchants at Dengzhou Port couldn't help but pause slightly.

Whether it takes two years or 10 million yuan, many merchants are worried.

"We are willing to follow Tong Guan to the West!" One of the first merchants to follow Tong Guan to the sea said without hesitation.

He went to sea with Tong Guan, doubling his family wealth every time he went to sea. How could such huge benefits not make him excited?

"I am also willing to go to the Western Ocean!"

Many merchants traveling to Nanyang also responded.

It took nearly a year to sail to Nanyang and back. In addition, the voyage to the West required the help of monsoons, so I'm afraid it would indeed take two years.

Two years is enough time to travel to Nanyang twice, and the cost is increased to 1,000 guan, which is reasonable.

Moreover, this voyage to the Western Ocean will take longer and cost more, but by gaining benefits from both South and Western Oceans at the same time, the profits will definitely be greater.
