Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 187, glass is still glass

Incheon is very close to Seoul, the capital of North Korea, only [-] kilometers away. It can travel very quickly along the Han River. Yesterday, when Du Mingen and others arrived, Kim Jong-suk quickly spread the news to Seoul.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the news that a large Ming merchant ship came to North Korea carrying a large amount of goods also spread. In addition, after Jin Zhongshuo received Du Mingen's gift, the efficiency of this work was also extremely high, and he sent people everywhere to contact A powerful businessman in North Korea.

In this era, everyone in the Ming Dynasty and North Korea respected them very much. Although Yan Shanjun, the king of North Korea, was cruel, he received a letter from Zhu Houzhao and knew that the fleet came to buy food to help the victims. It is a direct decree to transport the grain from the official warehouse of North Korea down the Han River to Incheon.

As for the merchants from North Korea, after learning that a caravan from Ming Dynasty was coming and carrying a large amount of goods from Ming Dynasty, they all rushed towards Incheon non-stop.

Goods from Daming are definitely the best-selling goods in this era, because North Korea learns everything from Daming, and all things from Ming are sought after in North Korea, such as rice paper, silk, porcelain, tea, etc. It is something that the upper classes in North Korea love.

Although North Korea can also produce paper, raise silkworms and weave silk, it also has its own porcelain and tea, etc., and it is still very good in all aspects, but it is not as fragrant as Daming.

So the next day, when Du Mingen and others were still asleep and sober up, the ministers sent by the king of North Korea and a large number of North Korean businessmen had already arrived in Incheon County.

When Du Mingen woke up, the whole Incheon County became very lively. The food transported by the ministers sent by the king of North Korea had already arrived in Incheon. At the same time, these merchants had raised a lot of food and delivered it to Incheon sporadically. Here, waiting for a deal with Du Mingen.

Du Mingen, who heard the news, was also happy to get busy. Things went smoother than expected. Even the king of North Korea sent ministers to help, and even emptied his North Korea's granary. How respectful the country is.

First of all, Du Mingen received the ministers sent by the King of Korea to express his gratitude to the King of Korea, and at the same time, he also accepted the food that the King of Korea sent to Daming.

Of course, as a gift in return, Du Mingen also sent a whole set of glass products, from glass mirrors of various specifications to glass lamps, to the four treasures of the study made of glass, etc. All the glass products were given to Mr. Yanshan Several sets.

On the one hand, this is regarded as a gift in return, and this is considered etiquette if there is reciprocity. It is true that Ming is the suzerain of North Korea, but Da Ming has always treated North Korea generously. Every time North Korea pays tribute, the return from Daming will be several times In short, the country that paid tribute has never suffered a disadvantage.

Now that the king of North Korea is helping Daming with all his money, he naturally has to express it. Anyway, glass products are very cheap, and the other party likes them after sending them out, just like treasures.

On the other hand, this is also Liu Jin's plan. The price of glass products in Daming is already very high. Although Daming's market is huge, its consumption capacity is huge.

But in the end, it is still limited. Naturally, this trip is to open up overseas markets. When I come to North Korea once, the main products I bring are various glass products.

Sending a lot of glass products to the North Korean monarch is equivalent to advertising your own products, or the best advertisement. At that time, this glass product will definitely be popular in the whole of North Korea in a short period of time.

As a result, a steady stream of huge profits were brought in. In the future, a boatload of glass products could be brought back with a boatload of gold and silver. Naturally, Liu Jin had already figured this out clearly.

After receiving the food and sending gifts in return, Du Mingen began to bustle non-stop to do business with North Korean merchants.

Doing business is Du Mingen's forte. He is a businessman himself, so he imitated Liu Jin's Gujin Building in the capital, displaying all kinds of glass products and inviting the king of North Korea to send them over. The ministers, the county magistrate of Incheon County, and businessmen from North Korea came together to visit, visit, and then discuss business.

……

On the wharf near the port of Incheon Port, there was a steady flow of people. Ordinary people had been temporarily driven away by Incheon County Magistrate Jin Jong-suk. At this time, all the people gathered were businessmen who had been rushing here day and night after receiving the news.

At this time, these businessmen are constantly visiting various glass products. All the glass products are placed on the table. Under the sunlight, these glass products sparkle, which makes people love it.

There are students from the Maritime Academy standing next to each table, patiently explaining the functions of these glass products and of course the most critical price to these North Korean businessmen.

"Mr. Li, this is the best-selling mirror in our Daming capital. In Daming capital, as long as there is a wealthy family with good looks, a daughter must have a dressing table with a mirror as a dowry."

"How much does this thing cost?"

"It's not expensive, just two thousand taels of silver."

"Hiss~ Two thousand taels of silver a piece, this is too expensive."

In front of a dressing table with a mirror, when a North Korean businessman heard the price, he couldn't help but gasp. This thing is really expensive.

"Of course it's expensive. Otherwise, only rich families can afford it. In our Daming, ordinary people can't afford it. Ordinary families usually choose this kind of mirror. It only costs five hundred taels of silver. gone."

Upon hearing this, the students of the Maritime Academy smiled and nodded without denying it, and then picked up a much smaller mirror and introduced it.

"Mr. Jin, this kind of Four Treasures of the Study is currently the most popular Four Treasures of the Study in our Ming Dynasty. Whether it is for gifting or for personal use, it is very good. You can see that these are transparent, and the writing is more aura... ..”

"How much is this set?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, one set only costs one thousand taels of silver. We came here in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring much. We have sold twenty sets just now, and now there are less than thirty sets left." set."

"In addition, there are glass tea sets and glass wine sets. The quantity brought over this time is not large, and they will be gone when they are sold out. So if Mr. Jin has spotted it, it is better to put it in the bag as soon as possible. I don't know what will happen next time." Sometimes I bought it, and this thing is very rare in our Daming."
