On the banks of the East China Sea, five cargo ships were moored at the wharf, and pieces of rare cargo from the Central Plains were transported from the cargo ships. Han Zhong of the China Trade Bank led the accountants of the trade bank to classify and count them. He was cautious and careful. The accountants of the Guanshi Trade Bank conducted a second inventory. Dozens of carriages from the Guanshi Trade Bank had gathered on the shore. They just waited for the inventory to be completed and recorded. These goods could be loaded out of Donghai County and sold to the four countries of the Central Plains through the Guanshi Trade Bank...

The blackbeard shouted hard, looking very excited and working very hard. Every pirate on the boat was filled with smiles, and the journey of more than two months finally ended successfully.

Han Mo and Guan Shaohe were standing on the big rock, listening to Kou Zheng reporting on the journey.

"Fifth Master, we have arrived in six countries in Nanyang this time, and the journey has been smooth. After two tsunamis, fortunately, the brothers at sea are experienced and have all avoided it." Kou Zheng seemed quite excited: "They knew that we were merchants from the Central Plains, and they brought them goods to them, and they all warmly welcomed us. Our goods were in short supply, but in order to better inspect various countries, I and the Master Du and Blackbeard studied it. They felt that the goods could not be sold in one country, and they had to compare the environmental conditions and product value of each country. Therefore, the goods sold by each country were restricted. The goods brought this time were divided into six parts and visited six countries. These goods could be sold at least several times, and some could even be sold for more than ten times, especially silk, which could be sold for fifteen times. We used that money to purchase very valuable goods from six countries, and there were 63 varieties. The fifth Master could count them."

Han Mo and Guan Shaohe looked at each other and smiled, both showing a look of relief.

"Everything goes well." Han Mo smiled and frowned and asked, "By the way, why didn't Miss Du come back? I found that there were more than 20 people missing this time?"

Kou Zheng hurriedly said, "Fifth Young Master, don't worry. Speaking of which, this trip to Southeast Asia still caused some trouble. Fortunately, it was safe and was resolved by Miss Du."

"Oh?" Han Mo and Guan Shaohe both showed confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kou Zheng replied: "Among the six countries, there is a small country called Jusang to the east. When our cargo ship arrived at their port, they were still warmly welcomed them. The one who came forward to receive their Foreign Minister, named Daoyexing, was a very awkward name."

"In a wild land, people who have transformed themselves into other people, their names are naturally not allowed to be on the table." Guan Shaohe smiled and said, "Is that wild star causing trouble for you?"

"That's right." Kou Zheng sighed: "When the wild star saw our goods, he immediately regarded them as treasures and wanted to embezzle them. That day he captured our two sea brothers, saying that the two brothers had strange whereabouts and had ill-conspiracy. Moreover, we only had a trade letter from the Han family, and there was no letter from the Yan State. Our caravan must have something to do with us, and he also slandered us that the trade letter was forged, so he sent troops to control our ship. The Blackbeard was the key to fighting with them, but was dissuaded by the Lord Du, and we were taken to a place and temporarily detained."

Although Han Mo knew that nothing happened later, he couldn't help but say, "Then how do you get out? That wild star is really arrogant."

"We can get rid of danger, it's really a fault for Miss Du." Kou Zheng said with admiration: "Miss Du led the four brothers assigned by the young master to Lord Du Island in the night to sneak into the mansion of Daoyexing late at night... The fifth master, the Jusang Kingdom is a small country. Although the official position of the Daoyexing is not low in the Jusang Kingdom, the mansion is much worse than that of our Central Plains, and even the houses of ordinary wealthy families in the Central Plains. That night, Miss Du led the four brothers into the mansion of Daoyexing, and actually caught Daoyexing alive. The matter suddenly became a big deal. Miss Du forced Daoyexing to send someone to inform their king. Daoyexing was forced to helplessly, so he could only report the news of the Central Plains cargo ship to the Jusang Kingdom to their king Fujiwara King."

"Then King Fujiwara must be a wise ruler, otherwise you would not get out of trouble." Guan Shaohe smiled.

Kou Zheng shook his head and said, "No, no. King Fujiwara is actually a foolish monarch who only knows how to have fun and spends all day long. However, he does not harm the people, but is just addicted to wine and sex."

Han Moqi said: "Then how was this resolved?"

"When King Fujiwara saw that his Foreign Minister was arrested, he was very angry and wanted to send someone to throw us all into the dungeon. At this time, a Yoshinobu appeared to resolve the crisis. The King Fujiwara had a queen who was well-educated, well-informed, and extremely beautiful. She knew about this and immediately dissuaded King Fujiwara not to do anything. The Queen said that the Central Plains Yan State is a great country, and the Han family is an amazing family of Yan State. If it is really a fleet sent by the Han family, it should not be offended. She also said that since my Han family has sent people across the ocean to Nanyang, carrying a large piece of goods, it must not be

What sinister intentions can be made? It’s just that the two countries can communicate with each other.” Kou Zheng exclaimed: “The queen is a really amazing woman, and the king obviously also loves the queen very much. He immediately sent someone to investigate in detail and confirmed that we were cargo ships sent by Yan State. And the Lord Du immediately gave a few big gifts. When King Fujiwara saw the gift, he was extremely happy and immediately sent us all to let us go and allowed the caravan to trade in the Kikusang State. As for the foreign trade minister, Daoyesheng, because he was found to be accused of the caravan, he was dismissed from his official position because he was found to have been greedy and unrighteous, which damaged the prestige of the country. He went home to be a fisherman!”

Han Mo clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, interesting woman, if you have the chance in the future, Brother Guan, we have to go to see that beautiful queen!"

Guan Shaohe laughed and said, "I hope so."

"Fifth Young Master, the matter is not over yet." Kou Zheng smiled and said, "The queen even invited us to the palace and held a banquet, and was very enthusiastic. She also proposed that the business could be set up in Jusang Kingdom, so that their people could trade with us for a long time and trade through the business, which would be more formal and better deepen the trade relations between the two sides."

Guan Shaohe immediately praised: "Good idea, good idea!"

Although Han Mo did not know about business, he understood that if he set up a business under the support of a foreign royal family, it would only be beneficial but not harmful. He couldn't help but nod and said, "I am more curious about that beautiful queen now."

"So after discussion, Miss Du stayed in Jusang Kingdom to handle the matter of establishing a business. Moreover, several other countries knew about this and asked to establish a business in their country. Everyone discussed it and left some people to prepare for the construction of a business in the six countries. In the future, we went there and the goods could be distributed directly to each business, and each business could also concentrate the goods purchased by each country and handed them back directly to the cargo ship. This would reduce unnecessary waste of time. Moreover, if there were a business in the local area, we would understand the local needs and the value of the goods, which was very helpful to us." Kou Zheng said this, his face was unrestrained and excited.

Perhaps even he never expected that the trip to Southeast Asia would have such a rich harvest, which was really exciting.

"Since that's the case, we will send more merchants to the second batch to take charge of the business." Han Mo smiled. He was in a very good mood now. This thing he thought was very difficult was actually done by himself. It was not a miracle.

Kou Zheng presented the list, Han Mo pointed at Guan Shaohe and smiled and said, "Uncle Kou, thank you for your hard work this time."

Kou Zheng hurriedly said, "What does the young master say? Kou Zheng is very honored to be able to do things for the fifth master. To be honest, I was a little worried at the beginning of this maritime trade, and I was afraid that the barbarians and foreign countries would not be sophisticated and worried that our goods would not be able to go out. Now it seems that Kou Zheng is just worried about this. We love their goods, and they love our goods even more. Speaking of which, although the people who are out of the world are vulgar, they are all very enthusiastic. Except for the incident of Daoyexing, everything else is smooth sailing."

Guan Shaohe took the list and looked carefully. The names, quantity, and purchase prices on it were listed above. Han Mo showed himself all the foundation, which was really treating himself as a partner.

"Fifth Young Master, when will we go to sea for the next batch of goods?" Kou Zheng asked carefully: "In addition to those six countries, there are still more than a dozen countries in Nanyang, and the second batch of goods must not be missing."

Han Mo looked at Guan Shaohe with a smile and said, "Brother Guan, in your opinion, how long should you wait?"

"Two months!" Guan Shaohe immediately said: "Give me two months, and the goods will double this time."

"Okay!" Han Mo nodded and immediately said to Kou Zheng: "Uncle Kou, wait until the goods are counted and loaded away, you go and pack the Bazhen Pavilion and let the brothers go to the restaurant tonight to have a good time."

Kou Zheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes!"

He knew that Han Mo had something to say to Guan Shaohe, and bowed and retreated.

...

"Fifth Young Master, this batch of goods is more than I expected." Guan Shaohe sighed: "According to my preliminary estimate, after the goods on hand are taken, the minimum profit should be around 250,000 taels after excluding the cost."

Han Mo smiled and said, "How many are you going to get?"

"I am a businessman, and I do business to earn money." Guan Shaohe said frankly: "Although maritime trade is controlled by the Fifth Master, when we arrive in the Central Plains, if the Fifth Master wants to turn these goods into silver, we must rely on the way of our Guan's trade deal. Moreover, to acquire goods from the four Central Plains, we must rely on the way of our Guan's trade deal."

"I understand!" Han Mo nodded with a gentle smile on his face: "I think you should know that 30% of the silver in the middle will be placed in the names of the people on the sea. This is their life-long money, and every time the cargo ship goes to sea, it needs to be repaired, and they need the silver."

"This is what they deserve." Guan Shaohe looked at the group of seamen who were happily carrying goods, and nodded slightly, "There are 70% left, I hope to get 30% of them!"

"Okay, you get 30%." Han Mo said happily.

Guan Shaohe smiled and said, "The Fifth Young Master is very happy."

"The union between you and me is not strong without these benefits." Han Mo said calmly: "So everyone can earn money, so that the relationship between you and me will be closer."

"I hope that sooner or later, we will become true friends." Guan Shaohe sighed.

“We are moving towards that day.”

Guan Shaohe smiled and nodded, pointed to the goods transported to the carriage, and said with a smile: "Fifth Young Master, these goods are goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you just hand them over to me like this, you don't have any worries?"

"I'm not worried." Han Mo smiled and said, "Just like I'm not worried that you'll hide your real profits."

Guan Shaohe showed admiration and sighed: "Being able to cooperate with the fifth young master is a blessing that Shaohe has cultivated in his previous life."

"I won't say these words that make me furious." Han Mo laughed, his expression became serious and said seriously: "Brother Guan, there are two things you need to do."

"You said!"

"The first thing is to turn the goods into silver as soon as possible. I don't need silver in a hurry, but my friends at sea need this money in a hurry. You see that their cargo ship is already damaged and needs a major repair."

Guan Shaohe immediately said: "Don't worry, Fifth Young Master, I think this batch of goods is very in short supply. Once placed in shops in various countries, it can be turned into silver. Before the second batch of goods arrives, these goods will definitely be exchanged for silver."

Han Mo nodded, obviously very satisfied with Guan Shaohe's reply, pondered slightly, and continued: "The second item, I need you to buy a thousand war horses for me... the war horses of Wei, and the divine arm bow of Wei that can shoot 300 meters!"

Guan Shaohe frowned and did not answer immediately.

The sound of waves, the dock was filled with people and laughter, but the big rock was very cold.

"Fifth Young Master, if you want Wei Ma to play, I can give you ten horses in five days!" Guan Shaohe finally said.

"Ten horses are too tasteless to play with." Han Mo said with a smile: "I have always liked to play with big ones."

"You can get the Divine Arm Bow." After a long time, Guan Shaohe said slowly: "But it is too difficult to have a thousand war horses in Wei."

"You have a way." Han Mo smiled and said, "To be a true friend, you must always give each other an extremely difficult help."

"Four hundred horses!" After thinking for a long time, Guan Shaohe stretched out four fingers.

Han Mo shook his head and insisted: "One thousand horses!"

"Six hundred horses!"

"Eight hundred horses!" Han Mo gave in to two hundred horses.

"Okay." Guan Shaohe sighed and smiled bitterly: "Fifth Young Master, you are really hard for me to die. It is even more difficult than you think to get eight hundred Wei horses from Wei to Donghai County."

"But you are stronger than I thought." Han Mo laughed, blinked his eyes, and asked softly: "But I'm very curious, Wei and Qing are mortal enemies. How can you, Qing Shang, persuade the people of Wei to sell your horse to you?"

"There are not many people in this world who are not greedy for money." Guan Shaohedao: "The Wei State is poor and needs even more money. My path is paved with silver!"

"The road paved with silver!" Han Mo gave a thumbs up: "I envy you very much now."
