otherworldly happiness

After lunch, I was busy looking around for the whole afternoon. I met a few caravans from the south and bought some things more or less, but the quantity was not large. These are all fleets booked by regular customers. , Specially run on the north-south route, these goods are also specially shipped in order to deliver to regular customers.

Just to prevent accidental damage in the middle, after all, the silk cannot see the water, and it is not good to see the water in rainy days and storms at sea, and the transportation of porcelain is even more troublesome. If you don’t transport more, how do you deliver the broken ones in the middle? Well, the amount left is not large, so there is no need to find a special customer, so Li Jian wanted it all, and even took away some of the fleet's silk dyed cloth and the like.

This is considered to be famous in the port. Who doesn’t have some backlog of goods, not to mention holding down the capital and occupying space. The fleet has to rent a warehouse for storage. Now it’s all dealt with, although the original price is not paid. It is less, but it has already been earned in other goods, and how much it sells is considered a net profit.

Li Jian was still worried about what to buy. He thought 8000 taels of silver was a lot, but in such a large caravan, it was nothing but nothing. Everyone knows that these things are good for making money. I heard that the quality of tea in the surrounding small countries has increased by more than ten times. The best tea is exchanged for gold. Some things are not something that my class can afford. meddling.

Until I met a caravan who wanted to sell the silk that had passed water to me. Although they were all good on the surface and the price was even more affordable, I understood it with a quick scan of my consciousness.

The shopkeeper of the caravan saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said that he sold it to himself at a cheap price. After some bargaining, Li Jian bought the silk at one-fifth of the original price. Both parties were very satisfied. It was originally worn by rich and noble families. After water, it not only wrinkled, but also faded. If you sell it cheaply to others, you can't even sell it at this price. Li Jian thinks that good silk is not his own, and it is not enough for others to share. There are so many boats in the caravan going out for the first time, so they have to bring a lot of things. I don’t dare to snatch things from those big shots. Although they can’t see these little shrimps like me, I should pay attention to myself, there is no big mistake in being careful.

After several trade caravans’ promotions, everyone knows that there are people here who can’t accept the sold goods. As long as Li Jian is optimistic, he will not refuse anyone who comes. Later, everyone is afraid that he will not accept it if he arrives late, so they rush to give it to him. Come.

It’s rare to see such people being taken advantage of, those things are not willing to throw them away, and not many people want to sell them. This is a port, unlike in the city where they can be dealt with cheaply. Those who have no money will buy some, but if you add shipping costs here When transported to various cities, the money exchanged may not be enough for the shipping fee, so no one bothers to make such an effort. Some caravans have too many guys, and they just sell half-sell and half-give it away. In the end, there are too many people. It's easy to go out directly at the warehouse door.

Li Jian inspected the goods directly at the warehouse door, and let them put them inside if they looked good. In the end, all the shops in the port came to ask what they wanted. When it was getting dark, no one came. The result of a busy afternoon Not bad, the warehouse is almost full of goods.

It takes a lot of silver to fill such a large warehouse. Even the cheapest cotton cloth needs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and tea silk needs even more money. Others store it temporarily and then resell it. , usually a few acquaintances in the same caravan rent a warehouse together, and it’s easy to manage. Whoever like him spends more than 8000 taels to fill it up. The speed in the afternoon is not so fast. When looking at a single piece, he just needs to scan his consciousness. Those who don’t know who come to sell him think that he trusts him.

Looking at the things here, Li Jian closed the warehouse door and picked up the goods. He put the silks together and sorted them according to their grades. The cotton and linen were also treated in the same way.

There are not many teas that I don’t understand, just some old teas. Anyway, those who have good teas, broken teas and tea powders are still easy to share, so this is also accepted.

There are also a lot of porcelain and pottery, especially porcelain. Those who come to sell some porcelain that are not complete because of damage, such caravans are not easy to sell. Tell them that as long as it is porcelain, they will accept it, and the good porcelain will be discarded. Porcelain edge, the one with a small crack does not affect the use, more people are coming now, and those who are ready to throw away are sent, the money is calculated directly by the car, the amount should not be too much, who let this year The transportation damage rate is too high.It is also one of the important ports for south-to-north porcelain transportation.

After thinking about the things I originally planned to buy, this is almost the same. Anyway, it is impossible for me to have any damage in the space. Those who are of good quality are not a large number, and they will definitely be able to earn money in exchange for good things. It depends on the level of development here. I am afraid that some places are still at the level of slash-and-burn farming. In this case, even if I sell the cheapest linen. No one buys it, and the majority of the world is always poor.

Just as I was about to go back and forget it, I suddenly remembered that I could actually exchange the remaining silver for things, such as ironware and other tools. As for fruits, others are not easy to put away, and they are easy to break, so I dare not bring more, but I am not afraid. Even if you buy it, you don’t know what to do with the large quantities in the space. Who makes you greedy? Most of the fruits grown in those few hills.

I did it when I thought about it, and went to the shop to buy all kinds of knives, kettles, pans, and spatulas, and even bought a lot of sewing needles. I was about to buy it out. I saw the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar in the grocery store. I thought I would have a chance to open a small stove and bought enough seasonings for a year or two. Anyway, it’s not bad to put in the space, until I have dozens of taels of silver left. Only then did they stop, the people in the shop were afraid that he would not send it to the warehouse overnight.

Li Jian finally went back exhausted under the moonlight before midnight, and had a good night's sleep.

After getting up in the morning to gather, everyone in the same cabin discovered that Li Jian had returned, and one by one interrogated him what he did last night, and which gentle town did he go to?It was hard to get away with it, and everyone chatted about nothing, only to realize that most of them wanted to go to Quanzhou to buy some private goods, where the goods are complete and the price is cheap, Li Jian did not express his speculation, after all, he did not know about it. What it looks like, I have never been there, and it was not until the afternoon that all the ships were assembled and set sail. As for those who coordinate worshiping the Dragon King, it is not something that my own soldiers can participate in and understand, and I still have to do my own work.

By the time I became familiar with the doctor and the odd jobs like myself, more than ten days had passed. There were six people living in the same cabin. It was a three-story bunk with only a small narrow passage in the middle. People are willing to stay inside, and there are no windows to make it stuffy. Of course, these are graded. This is only the lowest. The higher the position, the better the conditions. Military doctors usually have double rooms, and captains have single rooms. Woolen cloth.

Their condition as a warship is much better than that of a merchant ship. I heard that the sailors on those merchant ships take turns sleeping in order to load more goods. They sleep in Chase bunks. They don’t have their own beds. The caravans on the ship spend their own money. Book a cabin, the servants who follow generously have separate cabins, even if it’s a Datong shop, the stingy ones stay with the goods in the lower warehouse, and you can also look at the goods by the way, it’s dark, humid and airtight there, they are there during the day They would rather bask in the sun than go down.

There are two surnamed Zhao in the room where I live with. Everyone jokingly calls them Big Zhao and Xiao Zhao. They are both sailors, and there is also a sailor named Yan. The oddballs in the pharmacy's pharmacy are familiar with each other and have no scruples when talking, and they chatted about everything together.

This time I went out voluntarily, thinking to earn some money to retire and go home to buy some fields, or to earn some money to marry my husband, thinking that if I go out and make a fortune, I will become a rich man. I came here with such a good wish Yes, and there are dispatchers, like Li Jian, although he knows that the benefits are great, but the risk is even greater. He didn’t want them to imagine that gold was everywhere, but he came because he was called out. He had to work hard to find more opportunities to earn some points up.

When I arrived at Quanzhou Port, I saw that the port here was much larger than Huangyun Port, and there were some ships of different shapes inside, which were not made by the Chu Dynasty. When the ships were parked at the designated location at the pier, the sailors took turns to be on duty. I'm busy scrubbing the deck and contacting for fresh water supplies.

A few of their odd jobs were given a holiday by the military doctors. This time they docked for two days and waited until the merchant ships were loaded before leaving. With so many ships, it would take time to come slowly. Dr. Wang still reminded Li Jian that there is nothing wrong with bringing something. Yes, if you really can’t put it down, you can put it there. After all, the two of them share a room, which is much more spacious than theirs. Although I don’t know how to put it, I have to bring a lot of goods, but it’s good to have this kind of heart. .

Anyway, under normal circumstances, as long as you do your job well and don’t place things indiscriminately, no one will care about you. As for who owns the rest of the cargo in the cabin except for supplies, fresh water and weapons, you will be responsible. You can't see it or just treat it as a material, anyway, there is nothing wrong with you little people.

When I got off the boat and walked on the pier, I saw the same situation, except that there were more people and more people here, and there were people from other countries and nationalities wandering around, walking in the port to see what the trading goods on the side were. , What is the approximate price, so there is also a number.

Looking at the prices of various spices in the shop, they are really good, not to mention the precious * sandalwood, Jiangzhen incense, various agarwood, dipteroin, benzoin, styrax, etc. Some of these are precious, and some of the prices are less than ten taels of gold. Yes, there is even a royal ambergris that has never been seen by rich people, and even a little bit can be kept as a family heirloom.
