Chapter four hundred and seventy seventh
Shi Lei's earthen building is really large in size. Not only do the family members who stayed in Guangzhou live in it, but most of the caravans stayed in this building while they were stranded in Guangzhou. Who made us have more rooms?
It was very easy to call other noble agents over, and they didn't live too far. After they came back this time, they had a lot of things to talk to Shi Lei. As for what they saw and gained, they had already reported to Chang'an, and the reply was probably on the way. It was related to huge interests, so they had to be more cautious.
Shi Lei didn't say much, but asked them about the investigation of the surrounding Yinshan Mountain. Now he knew about the same situation as he had known before, and he also knew that the conditions were more appropriate. It was time to call all the people and start to launch the force of each company to the Japanese island.
The people who need to use in each family will probably come with the next caravan from the Shi family. The shopkeepers who are still staying in Guangzhou still maintain their original habits and compete with the visiting merchants with patience. Although their thoughts are actually no longer on this.
Compared with the gains from Japan, this profit is definitely a small profit. They have met frequently recently, and they are actually discussing the division of shares in the future. However, in order not to be seen by other noble groups, they try to keep everything as usual.
After all, Shi Lei and many uncles' plans are still in the stage of keeping confidentiality, and they don't want too many people to join in to get a share. After their own strength has gained a foothold, the pressure on confidentiality will be much less.
However, their absent-mindedness helped the Shi family's caravan. Taking this opportunity, the Shi family's caravans had mostly imported a lot of top-level goods from the foreign merchants.
Most of the additional share was divided from these powerful families. Of course, it can be said that they were willing to give in. Through this method of giving in some affordable methods, I would like to express a little thanks to the Shi family, providing this important trade route in Japan and the news about Yinshan.
There are also some of the officials from all over Guangzhou who took the initiative to give up the part, and the Shi family won't lose their share. They actually got no less than before. They just changed the way of selling, and they also had less trouble with taking action by themselves. They could also sell the Shi family, their backer, to a great backer. Why not do it?
The Shi family caravan also took a task when he returned. The Shi family purchased too many goods and raw materials in Guangzhou. It was just that the crocodile skin and rhinoceros horns and ivory bought by the locals from the goods stations were a huge amount of goods. Then he took all the high-end goods from the merchants he could get, and this quantity was a bit unacceptable.
Moreover, there is indeed too much money being suppressed here. For the Shi family, it has reached a certain limit and the pressure is a bit too great. It must be transported back to Changan to cash out as soon as possible to help the funds recover and there is no risk of chain breakage.
At the same time, they also brought back many special silks produced in Guangzhou. The consumer market in Guangzhou is still relatively limited after all.
And those noble families are not very concerned about this, and they may not be able to return when, but the production of these silks is very fast, so you can't just wait for mold to grow hair here.
As for the nobles who don't belong to their own camp, it seems a bit suspicious of being a foe. Who knows if these guys will turn around and use this batch of top silk to compete with their own shops?
There is no way to sell the first batch to them at a wholesale price. Before the caravan comes in, I have to establish a good relationship with this group of people. Now the caravan has gained a foothold here, so I don’t have to feel so wronged.
In addition to these common goods in Guangzhou, the most valuable group of pearls collected from Guangzhou are actually the smallest number of pearls collected from local Guangzhou. Some of them are purchased Hepu pearls, but more are the batch of high-quality pearls planted by Shi Lei himself.
It is indeed as Shi Lei expected, he just opened a small number of pearl shells and obtained a large number of top-quality jewelry-grade pearls. The common white pearls are already very rare, and the golden pearls and black pearls specially transformed by Shi Lei are even more valuable and will definitely cause a sensation.
Shi Lei was already ready to bleed again, and Li Shimin asked for some mental preparation. Especially the Jin Zhenzhu, who looked so noble, Li Er, a guy who was also a dragon, would be a ghost if he was not moved. So how to deal with these good things will still be a headache.
Fortunately, these things are not as rare as the fist giant clam pearl that is basically difficult to see again. Every year, the Shi family will take out some of them and put them on the market.
After Shi Lei collected it, he also modified a lot of pearl shells to put them. The output of these golden pearls may be even more improved, so Li Er should be a little more rational about them.
However, these will still cause headaches for several senior scholars in Chang'an. Shi Lei has no good tricks, so he still won't spend the brain cells.
As for the safety of this valuable pearl field, there is no need to worry about it. Those transformed crocodiles are definitely not easy to match, especially when they are in groups, even if they are established troops, they have to retreat.
What's more, they are just some thieves who covet the pearls. Most of them are only fed to crocodiles. I guess no one who can't think of it will take the initiative to go to death. The way of death is too tragic and painful. It's better to wipe your neck and get it very happy.
However, these can only be considered jobs within the normal function of the caravan. They actually have another task when they go back, which is to call people.
Since each company intends to start this trip in Japan, the task is to have enough force to ensure it. After so long accumulation, the power in this area is definitely strong enough. No one company has shortage of elite veterans to support it. It is easier to get some people out.
This is why Shi Lei asked these martial artists to play together. Not only did they eat alone but they were really lacking in manpower.
It is absolutely no problem to provide a small amount of high-end force. These elite players from the Shi family are rare masters in the world. However, the Shi family has been developing too quickly in recent years, the stalls are too large, and there are too many people involved. It is not easy to draw more force.
When the caravan returned, he needed to bring as much spare force as possible. Fortunately, the Shi family has been spared no effort to run a huge mountain village and maintain control among his subordinates, and can draw a lot of power from it.
Although these people have not been tested and have not become trustworthy core elites, and have not been guaranteed to be transformed, and have not been trained by core experts, they are still fine as military units of mercenaries of the nature of an expatriate mercenary.
In addition, in Guangzhou, have we conquered some bandits and river bandits? These people have all scattered and have some heroes from all over the country. This time, they have just collected them all and sent them to Japan. With so many elite veterans suppressed them, they don’t worry about the waves that these people can make.
Such a guy goes to a mountainous area like Yinshan, and he is no different from lying in a prison sentence. He just thinks it is their sins. Besides, it really has caused bad effects, and it is also the Japanese who are harming them. Shi Lei said there is no psychological pressure.
And in this way, Shi Lei's military achievements in suppressing bandits were redeemed as a real winner. It can be regarded as a killing of multiple goals in one fell swoop.
In addition, when the caravan comes back, he has to transport more raw materials needed in Guangzhou, for example, the demand for Star Iron is quite large. Because all new ships that combine all the top technology of Shijia have been built in the secret dock of the shipyard, many of the key components and main weapons and equipment need to be built with Star Iron.
While increasing the strength of the new ship, it can also increase the attack power to a new height. It is basically a foregone conclusion that it can surpass the main battleships of the regular navy of the Tang Dynasty.
