Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

When he walked out of the store, he saw Ai Xi running towards the tea stall in front of him, so he grabbed him quickly.

Ah, girl, you are here. Ai Xi was sweating profusely. Seeing that it was Ling Qingyu who caught him, he swallowed back the curse words and said.

You come in with me first. Ling Qingyu dragged Ai Xi into the knife shop, pointed at the five knives that the boss had not had time to take back, and said, I want these five knives, and you bargain with me.

Ai Xi glanced at her, looked back, raised his head slightly, and started talking to the boss in a high manner.

Half a moment later, Ai Xi asked Ling Qingyu: Do you have any good wine? Do you have any sewing needles? By the way, add another piluo, the red luo you mentioned.

Want Hongluo? Then give me some knives. Ling Qingyu said.

Ai Xi gave her a thumbs up, then turned back to talk to the boss. Ling Qingyu saw that the boss kept nodding, and only shook his head at the end, looking at Ai Xi curiously.

The deal is done. One red horse, one jar of wine, one hundred needles, in exchange for these five knives, plus fifty ordinary knives. Ai Xi wiped his sweat.

Ling Qingyu looked at the knives that were said to be ordinary but were also inlaid with jade, and he was impressed by Ai Xi.

You ask him to put his things away, and I'll send someone to pick them up later.

After Ai Xi finished explaining to the boss, they returned to the tea stall and found a more secluded place to sit.

Seeing Yan San and Yan Qi standing in front, blocking the last bit of sight from this position, Ai Xi's heart moved again.

Taking out a piece of paper and a charcoal pen from his wallet, Ling Qingyu said seriously: Okay, let's take a look at what Ai Xi has gained today.

Classmate? Seeing that Ling Qingyu didn't mean to explain, Ai Xi smiled and said, It's almost there. There are about ten buyers. Those silks and porcelain can be sold for about 440,000 taels of gold, but some firms are not so good. If you have a lot of cash, you can exchange them for jewelry, coral, pearls and tortoise shells. The amount of exchange is about one hundred thousand taels of gold. You can rest assured that it will definitely be much cheaper than buying it yourself. There is also a company that exchanges cotton cloth and pepper for a very good price. Low, but the quantity is large, totaling up to 50,000 taels of gold. I don’t know the quantity of wine, books, needlework, and embroidery, but these items are in short supply now and can be sold at a high price. I picked up some of the spices. , I won’t lie to you, the one in Calicut that produces the most spices is indeed the one in Cuttack, but the merchant ships from the Great Zhou Dynasty have not come for a long time. During this time, there are few merchants from the Red Sea, so other families I have also hoarded some, and a lord of the territory happened to have sent new goods, which can roughly make up 400,000 jins. Adding my own 100,000 jins, the total is 50,000 taels of gold for you, but my part needs cash. No exchange, okay?

Huge profits! This is simply a money grab! Yan Qi's face was expressionless, but tears were flowing in her stomach. She thought of killers like them who had their heads tied to their belts every day and didn't even earn a fraction of their money.

Well, ok, this saves me some trouble. I originally wanted some treasures and cotton cloth. Ling Qingyu calculated in his mind, even if Ai Xi's 10% is removed, this is still considerable, although it is relatively small. It's troublesome, but then Ai Xi and Yang Zhao will be in trouble. Well, it's doable.

Of course it's no problem. Girl, do you want to go to the Red Sea? There's a bit of chaos over there right now. There's a war going on there. There have been fewer ships coming there recently. I guess the price of spices and gems will be higher than before. Seeing Ling Qingyu agree, Ai Xi smiled and quirked her eyebrows, and reminded him specifically. If there hadn't been a catastrophe in East Asia and a war on the Red Sea, how could spices in Calicut be so cheap, and how could silk and porcelain be sold at such high prices?

There's a war? Ling Qingyu frowned unconsciously and asked, Ai Xi, do you know which port city is safer on the other side of the Red Sea?

Port Aizab is the largest port on the Red Sea. The war has not spread yet. Egypt has a huge demand for Zhou's porcelain, silk and spices. Now you can go there, Aisi smiled and said : It's a good opportunity to sell it at a high price.

How much can spices be sold for? Ling Qingyu asked unconsciously. Aizab should be an ancient port in Egypt, which leads to Europe. Europe loves fragrance, so the price should be good.

It should be no problem if you double it tenfold. Ai Xi smiled, but it was a pity that he couldn't go with the ship, otherwise, he could also make a huge profit.

It won't be too late. I'll go to the ship to prepare. Is it possible to trade tomorrow? Ling Qingyu stood up, put away the unused paper and pen, and then said: Go and change the knife first. By the way, add some more money. Buy more. Yan Qi, follow Ai Xi to pick out later.

We need to give those merchants some time to prepare. How about starting tomorrow afternoon? Ai Xi asked.

Can.

Back at the dock, the Fengshen was docked far away in the outer harbor, and there were small boats docked at the dock.

First, he took out the things to Ai Xi and asked him and Yan Qi to buy knives. Then he called Zhu Weili and Yang Zhao to start arranging the delivery. Because the buyers Ai Xi was looking for were scattered, the goods had to be counted and put away first. This time, Yang Zhao acted as the general planner, and Zhu Weili assisted, arranging the personnel. Half of the six teenagers below counted the goods, and the other half prepared to receive the goods. This time the volume of goods was too large, and the ship was fully alert. Everyone was on guard. own position.

Yan Qi led people to transport the knives back, bringing back a total of hundreds of Damascus knives.

Yan Qi, you choose. Placing the five knives on the table, Ling Qingyu smiled at Yan Qi.

Me first? Yan Qi was surprised.

Yes, I think you like it very much. Ling Qingyu said with a smile.

Yan Qi looked at her and picked out two knives, one long and one short.

After Yan Qi finished choosing, Ling Qingyu asked the crew to take the knife to the crew and let the crew choose. The Damascus knife was not only sharp, but also inlaid with jewelry and gold. It was very valuable. The crew was overjoyed. Even the children chose their favorites. dagger.

Early on the next morning, Yang Zhao and Zhu Weili led people to vacate the cargo hold and planned the vacated cargo hold.

There were only three people on the boat at leisure, Ling Qing, Yu Yan San and Shi Fang.

Looking at the orderly and chaotic scene below, Shi Fang took a sip of tea and sighed: A talent like General Yang, eh.

Why are you drinking tea here? Aren't you going to see what goods are there? Ling Qingyu glared at him and said, in the past, you and Zhu Weili were both the fastest runners. Are you going to see what medicinal materials are there? And getting ashore is also the most positive thing. Half of the kitchen on the ship has been planted and raised by you with a lot of strange things.

General Yang said, if I run around, I will be punished by doing squats. I am an old man, how can you bear it as a boss? Shi Fang sighed again, when can he go down to buy things.

When it got dark, huge torches were lit on the pier, crowds gathered, and many businesses were waiting on the pier with people and cars.

After Ling Qingyu finished speaking, he left Yan Qi behind and went with Yan San to the temporary shed built on the dock. They sat aside and watched the bustling trading scene at the dock.

There were more than twenty merchants. Ai Xi originally thought that they would come one by one. Looking at the people and cars on the dock, he felt a little dizzy. Unexpectedly, the handsome man directly arranged for people to do transactions with three merchants at the same time, collecting money and ordering goods. , shipping, paying, and receiving goods, the hundreds of people on the big ship were not at all confused, and even the children guarding the sides of the ship were solemn and motionless.

The shed was isolated from the outside. Ai Xi brought the merchants in and told Yang Zhao the quantity and total price of the goods he wanted. Zhu Weili started recording the money beside him. After counting the money, he put it next to Ling Qingyu, and then handed the list to the young man outside the shed. , after the boy copied two copies, the other person took the list and took the people up to get the goods. The other list was put aside and handed over to Ling Qingyu for final calculation. If he came to sell goods, he would also report the quantity first, Zhu Weili wrote The good list is given to the young man outside to copy it, and then another one takes it up to deliver the goods. Finally, the completed list is brought over for settlement.

The shipment and purchase of goods, dozens of commodities, and hundreds of thousands of kilograms of goods came in and out, using hundreds of people's manpower. There was no mistake for a whole night.

Ling Qingyu had been driven back to sleep long ago, and Zhu Weili had also left. There were only Ai Xi and Yang Zhao in the shed. Ai Xi could not even open his eyes. Looking at Yang Zhao who was still in high spirits, he unconsciously felt in his heart admire. But when he wanted to talk to him, he was always discouraged by Yang Zhao's indifferent answers.

Ai Xi, the last merchant picked up the goods and came in to greet Ai Xi. He smiled and said, You are good this time. You are such a good Hong Luo. Tell your friends about it and return it to me next time.

Haha, I will definitely say it.

In the past, I could only buy it from Xie's family. Their prices were too high. It's better now. Ai Xi, let's go first.

Everything is ready. Yang Zhao cleaned up his things and walked out of the shed. The sky was already slightly bright, and the coolies on the dock gradually dispersed.

Yeah, I'll go back and sleep first. I want your girl to remember to wait for me. Seeing Yang Zhao looking over coldly, he hurriedly said, I still have money but she hasn't given it to me.

After packing his things, Yang Zhao took the last few crew members back to the Fengshen, telling the Fengshen to stay away from the dock in case things happened in Galle, and then went to Ling Qingyu's cabin.

Her cabin door was open and a lamp was lit, but she was fast asleep.

Putting the list and the last gold collected into the big box on her bedside, he took off his shirt, kissed her gently on the lips, Yang Zhao lay down and hugged her soft body, and fell asleep immediately.

When Ling Qingyu woke up, it was already bright. When he opened his eyes, he was facing Zhang Junmei's face, and his heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he picked up the sheet on the bed and covered his upper body. Ling Qingyu quietly got up.

After picking up the list and doing some calculations, he looked at the boxes of gold stacked at the foot of the bed. The smile on Ling Qingyu's lips grew wider and wider, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

Not to mention those jewels and treasures, there are already 270,000 taels of gold alone. Oh, and 50,000 taels of gold will be given to Ai Xi, which means 220,000 taels of gold. Well, the spices are 620,000 kilograms, and there are a lot of valuable spices here. The pepper alone is 200,000 kilograms. Even if you don’t go to Africa now, you can still sell it for millions of taels of silver back home. Ten thousand taels of silver, if you remove the sales, remove the dividends, and remove the costs, you will make a net profit of at least five million taels,? But this time I was lucky. If it were normal, the profit would not be so high. But even if the profit is only half of the normal profit, there is a net profit of two to three million for one trip. No wonder the Xie family wants to monopolize the route to this way. , my father can earn millions just by running offshore routes, so how rich is the Xie family? Well, it's a rare opportunity, so let's go to Africa. In this way, when we return to Dazhou, we can earn tens of millions of taels of silver during this trip. I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity again in the future.
