The Royal Marine fleet docked on Jeju Island. In addition to serving a slight supply, it is more important to unload raw silk, satin, cloth, porcelain, pottery, purple clay ware, tea, brown sugar, brown sugar, etc. from Jiangnan... There are even pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as exquisite books... mainly Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, scriptures and other philosophical and art books, and there will be no content related to science and technology.

Because all exported goods were carefully selected by Mr. Zhao himself. The subsidiaries of the group prepared goods according to the orders placed by the group, and shipped to Chongming and handed over to the Royal Sea to Xingang.

The Danra Chamber of Commerce accepted all the orders and then transferred them to Japan in full and distributed them to Kyushu Sasebo, Hakata, Hirado, Usuki, Hot Spring, Sakai and other ports.

In fact, there are many Li Dynasty merchants who came to hear the news and wanted to take a sailboat to sell their goods to Japan. However, the Danluo Chamber of Commerce did not collect or sell any goods selected by Mr. Zhao, even if the Li Dynasty merchants asked the king to open a golden port for peace.

The Danluo Chamber of Commerce said that the Celestial Emperors were strictly in charge. As long as they were found to be smuggled in violation of regulations, their exclusive right to trade with Japan would be cancelled.

In fact, Jiangnan Group holds 90% of the shares in the Danluo Chamber of Commerce. It is simply the cover of Mr. Zhao. When will the cover be taken on its own?

What? Sneak transport by yourself? Is it a decoration to be a water police station in the security area? Over the past year, several water police stations have arrested more than 200 smuggled ships in their respective jurisdictions, including Li Chao, Japanese, and Ming dynasties. No matter which country you belong to? They are all sent to the arbitration tribunal of the Municipal Council, confiscating the ship's cargo for smuggling, and the sailor sent it to lifelong labor reform. The owner was punished with the principle of mastermind, but could be compensated with a huge fine.

In order to combat smuggling, the Water Police Department also vigorously publicizes and reports to coastal fishermen with prizes - anyone who provides clues to smuggling ships will be rewarded for seizing one-tenth of the property of the ship! In order to protect the fishermen from being retaliated, they can also be directly discounted and deposited in the bank so that they have no worries.

Moreover, not only the fishermen of the Li Dynasty, but also the Japanese fishermen enjoyed the same reward. Now, the water police district immediately had countless pairs of eyes, and many fishermen even dared not, so they looked for smuggling boats day and night, leaving smuggling without any escape.

As long as they report it successfully once, their lifelong expenses will be enough. What else can they do? Isn’t it beautiful to eat and drink spicy food in Xingang City?

In short, in this era of navigation, there is no room for free trade. The trade routes depend on the development and protection of warships and cannons, and there is no choice but to monopolize.

Mr. Zhao was able to instruct Chen Huaixiu to take out some of the transportation capacity to carry out domestic freight for Ming merchants, and it was already very interesting to only earn a freight fee in this area. Of course, this is also because the Grand Canal canal transportation exists. Before squeezing out competitors, capital was always generous and generous to make people want to call him father.

After the fleet unloaded the goods, it immediately loaded seafood such as gold, silver and copper produced in Japan, sea cucumber, abalone, dried scallops and shrimp slices, as well as products that were widely popular among the nobles of the capital such as swords and Japanese satin. There are also Korean ginseng, honey, dried mushrooms, sea dragons, foxes, mink fur, deer antler, astragalus Polygonum multiflorum and Polygonum multiflorum medicinal materials produced by Li Dynasty.

In addition, Jiangnan Trading Company will trade with the Portuguese once every month in Ryukyu, and the South and Western goods purchased will be shipped to Danluo in part and transported from the Royal Sea to Beijing and other places for sale.

The East Asian trade network, which was built for several years by Mr. Zhao, finally started to operate smoothly. In the first half of this year alone, the total overseas trade volume reached 30 million taels of silver, which exceeded the heyday of the nine masters that year.

This is still the case where Jiangnan Group is burdened with heavy sea transportation tasks, with a large number of ships and fewer people and severely insufficient capacity. By the time the transportation tasks are no longer so heavy in the coming year, the nautical school will train more sailors to increase the capacity, and the trade volume will be doubled even further.

However, the markets in Japan, Li Dynasty, and Ryukyu are still limited after all. Zhao Hao estimated that if he wanted to increase his trade volume in the future, he would have to open up new product dumping sites... Oh no, emerging markets. Of course, with the productivity level of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be that easy to produce excess products in the short term.

~~

After the loading and unloading was completed, the fleet left Jeju Island the next day.

Before departure, the Jeju Island Meteorological Station issued a cold wave warning, warning that the wind and waves would likely drop sharply in the next few days.

As expected, north wind blew two days later. Although Chinese sailboats could still continue to move north due to winds from all sides, their speed was inevitably greatly affected. They arrived at Chengshantou Meteorological Station four days later.

The sea is windy and thunderous, and the sea boat loaded with thousands of materials is like a leaf, constantly being lifted up and dropped by the waves, and the bumps are very violent.

Mr. Zhao has been living a pampering life this year, and his face is a little bad, as if he is seasick.

He and Chen Huaixiu stood side by side in the helm room, clutching the railings tightly, listening to the terrifying sound of the wind slapping the sails, which made people very uneasy.

"It should be heard from the weather station. I will wait until the wind stops before setting sail." Zhao Hao sighed. It was not because he was in a hurry to enter Beijing, but he felt that it was not a typhoon anyway, so he insisted on setting off.

Unexpectedly, if it is not a typhoon, it can also make people's intestines come out.

"It's okay, I have encountered many storms that are bigger than this. Our ship is new and strong and can withstand it." Chen Huaixiu had long been used to it. She took Zhao Hao's hand and helped him press the Hegu acupoint of Hukou: "Didn't you floated on the sea for more than a month last year? Are you still not used to this wave?"

"I haven't been waving for a long time, and I'm really not used to it." Mr. Zhao laughed dryly and said, "Last year, the weather was beautiful, and there was no big wave in a month."

"There are too few such situations." Chen Huaixiu sighed and said, "But no matter how big the waves are, you have to persist. It's cold in the north this year, and the bay will be frozen for more than a month. If you don't catch it, you will not be able to complete this year's mission."

"Hey, it's really not easy." Zhao Hao was moved and held her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Sister Huaixiu."

"It's okay, my sister just eats this bowl of rice." Chen Huaixiu's heart trembled, and he quickly pulled out his hand. He couldn't help but look at him, and dared to take the opportunity to eat tofu.

But Zhao Hao looked innocent and looked pure like a child, as if he was thinking too much...

She couldn't help but secretly laugh at herself. The young master just treated me as a fucking sister, but I thought so dirty.

It's really a self-indulgent.

~~

On the sixth day of the 10th month of the fourth year of Longqing, Mr. Zhao and his party arrived in Tongzhou.

Then I saw that the ground was covered with white frost and a cold winter was slaughtering.

A leaping fire suddenly appeared in front of him, instantly making the cold and frozen scene vibrant.

Li Mingyue was wearing a sable fur, with bead chains hanging on her neck, and wearing a big red cloak. She rode on a red horse and galloped towards Zhao Hao.

"Brother Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Hao standing at the bow of the boat, the little county lord waved his hand excitedly, and smiled cleverly and said: "I'm here to pick you up home!"

"Mingyue, I'm here to accompany you for the New Year." When Zhao Hao saw Li Mingyue, who had not seen him for more than half a year, he was sincerely happy and waved his hands to greet him.

Li Mingyue rode her horse straight to the dock. The boat was still more than one meter away from the shore. She couldn't wait to jump up from the horse's back, and jumped towards Zhao Hao in the air like a laced swallow throwing into the forest.

"Be careful..." Zhao Hao quickly caught her with both hands. Before he could react, he hugged her and was thrown to the deck by her. The two of them were pressed tightly...

Qiaoqiao quickly closed her eyes, but Secretary Ma looked at Chen Huaixiu and was stunned when she saw her.

"I think it's great to be young..." Gangmaster Chen explained in a slightly panic.

"Yes." Secretary Ma nodded and said, "Don't pretend to be seasick."

Chen Huaixiu blushed and couldn't explain it even if she wanted to.

~~

Li Chengen and Xiwa, who were left far away by Li Mingyue, finally rode their horses to catch up.

Seeing that his sister was lying on the boat with Zhao Hao in public, she hugged and kissed her, the little lord was heartbroken.

"Stop, oh no, stop! Don't take advantage of my sister!"

"It's your sister who is above and my uncle who is below. Who can take advantage of whom?" Zhao Shixi stopped doing it.

"Your sister, are you standing there?!" the little lord said angrily.

"Of course it's my uncle's side!" Zhao Shixi naturally dragged his long voice and said, "That's my uncle!"

"One, all your elbows are turning out..." Li Chengen looked up at the sky and suddenly felt alone but alone. Is this the destined ending of the sister-controlled control?

Alas, it's really a big girl who doesn't stay...

~~

At this time, the river surface had not yet frozen, so you could take a boat to the capital. So when my sister and the dog were intimate, Lee Cheng-en and Xiwa got on the boat.

In fact, they really misunderstood. Just now, the two of them had a very strong momentum, and Zhao Hao's lips were even broken by his teeth...

But this scene naturally became more guilty in Li Chengen's eyes. Grandma's killer material was not enough, she had to bite her and she even bite her blood!

After a closer look, my girl's mouth was not broken, and Zhao Hao's lips were broken.

‘Oh, damn girl, can’t you be more reserved?’ Lee Chengen didn’t have an attack.

"Uncle!" Xiwa stepped forward excitedly and kowtowed to Zhao Hao. "I miss you so much!"

"Haha, I miss you too, get up!" Zhao Hao pressed his lips with a veil with one hand and pulled Xiwa with the other.

Seeing him wearing a narrow-sleeved stand-up collar, a python pattern, a wide belt on his waist, and a wingless black gauze hat, he looked heroic and a martial spirit.

From the old brother's letter, I learned that after Zhao Shixi entered Beijing, he successfully passed the Ministry of War exam and was awarded the Jinyiwei 100 households... According to the rules, the children of such high-ranking officials did not actually teach errands after they had a military position. First, the children of high-ranking officials could not endure hardship, and most of them were powerless to get into the army, which was a pure chaos, so the Ministry of War would rather let them get empty salary than cause trouble.

But Zhao Shixi was transferred into the vanguard of the vanguard of the prince's palace. This was naturally a good thing that Li Chengen did. The little master was abandoned by Emperor Longqing last year and served as a guard for the prince. After more than a year, the little master has been promoted to Qianhu's house to "because of his merits".

What? What kind of contribution did he establish? He is the emperor's nephew and the prince's cousin. Is this contribution great? That is, he is still too young, otherwise the governor would go straight...

Therefore, the little lord easily transferred Xiwa to the forefront of the palace through the relationship of the British Duke to accompany him.

Originally, the old brother planned to kick Xiwa back to Jiangnan for training, so he had to give up...
