In February of the 34th year of Qin Shihuang, when the spring breeze blew and the ice and snow melted, southern Liaoning took the lead in welcoming the first batch of merchants from the "Haidong Trading Company"...

The 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, naturally, would not go out to sea to take risks in person. They sent their concubines and nephews to do it for them. These young people drove the sometimes unpredictable south wind and took their own boat to the Liaonan port "Lushun". This place has been officially classified as Jiaodong County and is an independent county.

It is said that Liaodong County once protested, believing that Lushun belongs to Liaodong, because it is in Liaodong, but the imperial court compared Jiaodong. When Liaodong sent officials to Lushun, it only takes 2 days at the fastest, while Liaodong takes at least 20 days...

In addition, Jiaodong can provide the court with nine times the amount of taxes that can be paid to the court every year!

Even if you don’t consider who the county magistrate is, just looking at the tax amount, which county is more tough in the court? Is it necessary to say?

So the dispute ended here, and the entire long coast of southern Liaoning was all assigned to Jiaodong, and Liaodong could only feel wronged.

When the merchants arrived in Lushun, thousands of pieces of fur paid by nearby barbarian tribes had been stocked here: like the Ba people paying well salt, cinnabar, and chicken feathers, all kinds of strange things were the taxes for barbarian rulers under the empire. Don’t expect them to pay food that they don’t have enough food to eat.

Although Haidong Trading Company claims to be "making money together", there is still a competitive relationship between them. For example, if the thousand martened furs in Lushun are divided equally, the benefits will be thinner and there will be prone to disputes and disagreements.

Thirteen merchants are engaged in different industries. Some specialize in selling silk and some specialize in selling candy. However, in the return goods, except for the knife-like slaves, most people are undoubtedly fur goods. The black man divided it into thirteen places according to the region. Each company competes for the region they like through "bidding" method and obtains the franchise to acquire fur there!

Lushun is undoubtedly the most popular, because recently, it only takes five or six days to travel back and forth, which can save a lot of shipping costs. The local barbarians take the initiative to pay fur to the government. All you need to do is to transport them back, which is the safest.

The merchants bid very fiercely. In the end, Ponzi, a merchant from Linzi, obtained the fur acquisition rights in Lushun through high prices and purchased them at a price slightly lower than the market price in Linzi. As for how much it can be sold in Zhongyuan after processing it into a sable fur, it depends on Ponzi's own ability.

The Ponzi's ship carried more than a thousand Pisa back, while the rest of the ships could only continue to move forward.

...

When they arrived at the scattered islands, several empty ships that unloaded their food in Lushun and left the large army. From the big nets everywhere on the ship, they could see that their target was not on land, but in the sea!

As we approached the island, the sea water changed from deep blue to azure blue. A young man lay on the side of the boat and shouted:

"Fish, all fish!"

Yeyi Pan family has been engaged in the sea fish trade for generations, but these days, they can only fish in the offshore. After hundreds of years, the size and number of fish in the offshore fishery in Laizhou Bay have slightly decreased. I heard that there are fishing grounds everywhere in the southern coast of Liaoning, and anyway, the money has been invested in the trading house, so I simply sent my children to take a look.

Sure enough, there are countless fish in this area that have not yet been involved in the virgin land! The sea fish in the shallow sea are so dense that it is so dense that a basket of fish will be put down casually and lifted up!

I only had a casual net for an afternoon, and the cabin and deck were full of sea fish...

After a few days, he returned to Yeyi, except for the salted fish that were pickled on the boat, the son of the merchant described the scene he saw to his father: "Put on a pot, and before the water heats up, the fish that was eaten in the evening had already been caught!"

...

Because of his shortage of money, Fan, a businessman from Jibei who was unable to bid for a good area, stared at Xi'anping, which was not under the jurisdiction of Jiaodong. They believed that there might be some business opportunities hidden in the vast and unknown wilderness forest east of Liaodong...

After stopping the boat in Xi'anping, Fan's eldest son took his men to visit the market here.

With the arrival of thousands of Qin troops, Xi'an became much more lively. On market day, in addition to the residents of Liaodong, Zhenfan, Fuyu and even Sushen barbarians would come here to market and exchange their own mountain goods for things from the Central Plains.

The messy stalls were full of strange languages, shouting and yelling. Trade basically bartered. Both parties put out their things, pointed at each other, and shook their heads, and nodded. A loud high-five was a deal, and then they left happily with their own items they were satisfied with.

Of course, there are also people who disagree and draw their swords to each other. Such troublemakers will be quickly captured by the patrolling Qin soldiers.

In addition to the bear, wolf, tiger, deer skin that were held everywhere, Fan's eldest son also found many mushrooms, including the pine nuts that he could be famous for, and many others were not famous for not being famous. In order to prove that he could eat, the real man actually chewed it on the spot! Fortunately, he did not foam on the spot and died...

In addition, there are precious medicinal materials such as deer antlers and musk, which are surprisingly cheap here. He also noticed that there was a rhizome plant at a stall in Fuyu people. The roots are like fennel roots, and the color is turmeric, but they are larger than fennel roots.

"What is this?"

The eldest son of Fan asked the translator to ask for him. The people in Fuyu were carving the bone flute boredly. When they saw someone asking, they talked a lot.

"The people of Fuyu said that if two people climb the mountain at the same time, one contains this thing and one does not contain it. Each walks for about half a day. Those who do not contain it will have a lot of breath, and those who contain it will breathe as before."

"Really or not?"

Fan's eldest son was skeptical, and the translator said it was true. This thing was made into soup and drink it to bring saliva and rejuvenate.

Since it was cheap, Fan's eldest son still bought a little. After returning to the boat, a fisherman who had come to Xi'anping laughed at him for losing money because of this thing...

"It's not just Fuyu, but Zhenfan and Sushen, in Liaodong and North Korea, the mountains are all long. As long as you know each other, you can dig a big basket a day!"

"It's better to have more money. If you can make small profits and make quick profits, you can at least make a profit."

The eldest son of Fan’s family didn’t take it seriously. Their family could not compete with the other party for bidding. In order not to lose money, they could only find business from corners that others disdained to run. As long as they didn’t know, they bought everything they didn’t know and took it back to Jiaodong to try it!

He never thought that this thing later became another hot commodity in Haidong after the fur: ginseng!

...

When the fleet moved against the ocean current and arrived at the Jinliekou, North Korea's port occupied by the Qin army, only eight or nine of the thirteen families were left.

The difference between businessmen and government officials is that they only seek profit when doing things. Since they have joined the business club, they can only go up the mountain, work hard to find their own interests.

Those who stayed in southern Liaoning looked for business because they were closer to Jiaodong, while those who chose North Korea were attracted by the unoccupied market here!

After the Jiaodong fleet docked, the North Korean porter with white linen strips on his head came to help unload the goods. Local officials also came to contact the merchants and the merchants. According to Hefu's suggestion, a "exhibition" will be held in Liekou. The merchants will display the goods of each company. The nobles from the North Korean office, the Dianzhu, and the male protagonist will send people to participate, negotiate with the merchants and establish trade relations.

The government no longer handles the details, but only provides a contact platform. Whoever can negotiate business with depends on their own abilities. Anyway, North Korea and the Qin Dynasty have cancelled border taxes, so merchants only need to return to Qidi and resell the goods, and pay a municipal tax to the local government.

The "Exhibition" in Liekou was held in full swing, the entire area was neat and clean, and most of the selling was expensive luxury goods. It was obviously not comparable to that of a small town market like Xi'anping.

The merchants displayed the goods they had made in each company, or arranged them on gorgeous wooden tables, or exquisitely crafted lamps, as thin as cicada wings, and brown sugar that could not be forgotten after taking a bite. Then, they put on the confident and proud smile of the merchants in the country, waiting for the surrender to come to the door...

Since the Zhou and Qin Dynasty, the bronze, silk, lacquerware and other handicrafts in the Central Plains have reached their peak, and Qidi was first famous for its female achievements and beautiful artifacts. Although now, it cannot compete with the things of Chu, Song and Lu, but when it is placed in Korea, it will not open the eyes of this group of country bumpkins who have been playing stand-alone for 800 years!

The Korean prince Jijun was invited by Chen Ping and also participated in this "exhibition". Unlike the things shipped by the government last year, although they were regular, they were still a bit rough. This time the goods were all typical Qi style, which made the North Koreans even more amazed. Compared with this, Wang Xiancheng's "custom utensils" were ashamed of themselves and became the home of ordinary people.

After seeing them, the poor nobles in North Korea were thinking that if those exquisitely crafted lacquer pottery jungle could be placed at their own homes and at banquets, they would be so proud! If those beautifully patterned silk and kale shoes could be worn on their concubines and sisters, wouldn’t it be enviable!

Unfortunately, merchants are not interested in the shell coins circulated in North Korea. They either buy them for half a tael of money, or barter them, preferably fur!

Some people also instructed slaves to bargain, but in terms of this, they were not the opponents of this group of smart businessmen, but were fooled and promised to buy more things.

It was time to compete for the money power of the Korean king. Next, these nobles would desperately exploit the rulers of their rulers, forcing them to hunt fox deer, peel off their furs, and exchange for those extravagant and exquisite things for themselves.

Seeing this scene, Ji Zhun suddenly thought that the 800-year-old wealth and national strength of the Ji family might be squeezed out by these greedy merchants who are pursuing profits in seven or eight years...

...

Not all merchants, who use North Korea as the end point, although Langya merchants like to complain, they also have their own unique business vision. The three Koreans who are south of North Korea and closest to Langya!

After May, the southwest monsoon blew violently, from Langya to Chengshanjiao, and then to Sanhan, it took only a few days to go.

In addition to distance, there is another factor worth considering. Guan Tong looked ahead. Ten miles before them, there was also a huge fleet of ships with bulging sails and flags.

It was the expeditionary force of Gongzi Fusu. After resting in Liekou for a winter, these five thousand Wu Bens set sail again on the ship of the Jiaodong County Wei Ren Xiao...

This time, the Fusu army was still traveling south to find Canghaijun to annihilate it, but first of all, they wanted to build a new stronghold in the east of Canghai City, next to the mouth of a river, in the later place called "Incheon"!

To build a city, a lot of food and utensils will definitely require a lot of food and utensils. In this way, the originally unprofitable land of the Three Koreans may also be able to get some oil and water.

"Guan Zi said that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. But the more people travel together, the harder it is to make money. But those places where no one cares about it may have great benefits that others have not discovered!"

"Nephew!"

When Guan Tong was imagining, another voice came from a distance.

When I turned my head, I found that there were several ships following them closely!

He was the only big businessman who came to Haidong in person, a concubine merchant, and a sword!

"Uncle Dao, you are..."

Guan Tong looked at the big ship that was advancing with his family in confusion. Shouldn't he stay in North Korea? Could it be that...

But the knife at the bow of the boat smiled and pointed at the female slaves surrounded by them and shouted: "Nephew, it's very windy at the sea, how many people are you going to warm your bed?"

Guan Tong's face froze, he forced a smile and shook his head, but his heart was full of disgust!

"He can think of this way to make money..."

Not only can he earn money from barbarians, but he can also earn money from the government! This is the plan of the knife! He was a female slave who had been trained by two ships and "rewarded" the Qin army from all over the country. He only needed to spread his legs to earn all the rewards from these soldiers living in foreign countries for a long time!

Guan Tong forgot that it was his ancestor Guan Zhong who invented the industry of "Nu Lu"!

On another ship, the sword ignored Guan Tong's contempt.

"The rest of them are disgusted with this, but for our merchants..."

He smiled calmly in the knife: "If you need it, you will ask for it. People who seek profit are like mosquitoes and flies, so they don't care whether it is dirty or not! Those who buy fur at a low price, induce the Korean town owner to buy extravagant things, causing them to suffer from exploitation. In the end, they can only sell themselves to the Qin people as slaves, and it may not be clean!"

...

"What our disciple brought to Haidong is not only civilization, but also long-term disasters."

In Qingdao, Jiaodong County, when Heifu couldn't sleep at night, he left the house and walked slowly by the sea. Thinking about this moment, the thirteen merchants from Haidong Trading Company had arrived on the other side and began their journey of stinking.

But he did not feel compassion for this and sighed, but instead recited a passage with a smile, with a pious tone, which was even more pious than the edict of Qin Shihuang...

"Since capital has come to the world, from head to toe, every pore has dripped with blood and dirt!"
