Daming One Piece

Chapter 84 Flying Against the Wind (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
How much money can the first boat make?
After dropping such a sentence, Shi Yiwen didn't continue to speak, but drank a glass of wine directly.

These guys!
Fortunately, they are maritime merchants, and they only think about the first ship...

Shi Yiwen felt bored, and Yang Tiansheng probably guessed the meaning of his words, so he offered a few words of help.

"The first boat can make money, but it's quick money, not a lot of money."

Shi Yiwen naturally had to pick up the conversation:
"I heard from Ruyu that the first boat is nothing more than earning an extra three to five thousand taels of silver, which is the money for the first ten days?"

"That's a lot."

Chen De frowned, but Guo Huaiyi laughed:
"Mr. Shi, selling the sea for a living is not like you every time. You can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every time. This time we are relying on goods, goods. When the price of gold is high, Naturally, it can be sold at a high price..."

After a while, Shi Yiwen nodded:
"Oh, that's how it is...Speaking of which, doing business is all about luck."

Everyone frowned deeper:
"Luck, this boat trip itself depends on luck."

"It's not all about luck. For example, the business of the first ship is based on luck?"

Guo Huai laughed out loud:

"Mr. Shi, the business of this first ship depends on this "first ship". Because usually when the wind is headed, the sea is very windy and the waves are rough, and sailing against the wind and the current is extremely risky. If two or three ships return out of ten ships, it is already blessed by Mazu. Naturally, the price of these ships is extremely high. A risk? But except for a few people who take this risk, don’t everyone wait until the wind is smooth before going out to sea. At this time, grabbing the first boat will naturally earn a little more. If you don’t believe me, just ask Second Brother Yang..."

When he said this, the others also laughed and confirmed it. Shi Yiwen smiled and nodded:
"Yes, that's right. The wind is going to blow up now. Everyone must be going to Manila, Batavia, and Annan. I'm right..."

Everyone knew that he had run with foreign ships before, so they didn't think it was surprising that he knew this, they just smiled.Chen De over there said:

"Master Shi has other plans."

"I can't talk about other plans. Business, in fact, it's easy to say. If others don't have it, I have it. If others have it, I'm good. There are boats here, so the business is good, and we also have the ability, but the money is not much to say..."

What do you mean earning not much?

Earn a lot!

When the Zheng family monopolized the north-south trade, the family could earn several million taels of silver!At that time, even the Ming court was not as rich as the Zheng family.Although this group of pirates has only just started, under the management of Zheng Zhilong, they will soon develop into a large "pirate group", monopolizing the north-south maritime trade.

Overseas trade in this era, although it can't be said that one shipment of goods and one shipment of silver returns, but in fact it is similar.

Navigation is definitely a lucrative industry, but Shi Yiwen does have other ideas.

"But what if we go north at this time?"

"Going north?"

Everyone was surprised.

"The current wind direction is not right!"

"so what?"

"Navigating against the wind and the current, sailing in the black water ocean, if you can't find your way, you will die!"

The Blackwater Ocean is also the so-called deep sea. In ancient times, sailing on the Blackwater Ocean not only depended on the wind, but ocean currents are more important. Overseas sailing through the ages has relied on wind and ocean currents to ensure that the ship will always stay on the "route" and will not deviate. Nine times out of ten the cost of yaw is death.

"Just know where you are."

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Can you know where you are at sea?"

After everyone left, Yan Ruyu looked at the man in front of her and asked.

Shi Yiwen nodded.

"more or less."

Whether it's measuring latitude with a sextant or measuring accuracy with a clock, it's all mathematics that high school students can master, as long as they have the tools.

"So, you are not perfunctory them?"

Yan Ruyu looked at him curiously.

"Hehe, perfunctory? What's the benefit of perfunctory them? Ruyu."

Smiling at Yan Ruyu, Shi Yiwen said.

"Now you can convince everyone only by doing what others can't do. When everyone is going south, you go north, so that you can earn more and make more profits. Some people go south, some people go south. People go north, when the time comes, there will be a comparison, and people's hearts will be compared..."

"Brother Shi, I really don't know what I would do without you."

Looking at him gratefully, Yan Ruyu raised her head, tilted her head and stretched out her hands to tidy up her loose hair, and then said,
"But, if you go north against the wind, there will always be risks. Do you really want to go?"

"I do intend to visit the North, and it's not just for business."

Not just for business?

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Yan Ruyu's mind sank slightly.

Does he want to go back to Nanzhili?
Although she didn't know where he came from until now, she subconsciously felt that he was from Southern Zhili.

"Of course business is also very important. I heard people say that in some places in Liaodong, a stone of rice can sell for several taels of silver. A trip to the "Black Pearl" can earn at least ten thousand taels of silver."

After thinking about it, Shi Yiwen said again.

"Of course, this is just a try, and there are still a lot of goods we need in the north. If there is a chance, we may bring some people from there. After all, Beigang also needs manpower, and the hungry people in the north now There are thousands of miles of fertile land here in Beigang, and bringing some people here can enrich the population of Beigang and open up more land. For us, there are only countless benefits, and this risk is worth taking."

Looking at the man in front of her, Yan Ruyu smiled, stood up and said.

"Although the reasoning is the same, it is too risky. If Brother Shi is going this time, Ruyu will go with Brother Shi."

"Ah, are you going too?"

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen was stunned, he looked at Yan Ruyu who had already walked to the door in surprise, and thought to himself.

It's not suitable for women over there!
"Ruyu, there is a lot of chaos over there, you'd better stay at home, after all, this side is fundamental,"

Shi Yiwen hastily opened his mouth to persuade.

"Brother Shi is not afraid, how could Ruyu be afraid?"

Yan Ruyu turned her head, looked at Shi Yiwen seriously, and suddenly smiled again.

"When the time comes, just let Xiaoyue go there to accompany you."

I don't understand why she suddenly changed like this.Facing her leaving back, Shi Yiwen had a thought in his heart.

"Stealing...it really will be exposed!"
