Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 480, Two dangers to Nanyang

Cui Wenjin nodded slightly upon hearing the words of Shouning Marquis Zhang Yanling, then stood up and nodded slightly to the people around him, who immediately understood, and quickly took out a map and hung it up.

"Everyone, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company originally planned to go to Nanyang alone this time and open up the Nanyang route, but since everyone knows, we don't mind taking it with us to Nanyang."

"Of course, there is no rule without rules. All business firms, fleets or individuals who want to go to Nanyang with us must abide by the rules."

Cui Wenjin looked at the crowd, Liu Jin deliberately let people know that Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. was going to open up the Nanyang route, and the purpose was to let everyone go to the Nanyang region to make a fortune.

In Liu Jin's view, there is endless money in the world. It is the truth that more people can earn more money. Only then will more people support the emerging capitalism. More sufficient motivation to promote the continuous external expansion of Ming Dynasty.

Hearing Cui Wenjin's words, everyone also nodded slightly. This is what everyone expected. Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. is willing everyone to play, which is already very good. There must be rules, so that everyone can feel more at ease, and even In fact, everyone is ready to be slaughtered.

As long as the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company doesn't go too far, everyone is willing to buy a ticket to play in the Nanyang area.

"The rules of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company are very simple, there are not many, only the following points."

Cui Wenjin's words also made everyone prick up their ears, listening carefully, for fear of missing every word in it.

"First, all fleets, commercial firms, and individuals who want to follow to the Nanyang region must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Fleet and must not act without authorization. If they want to leave or return early, they must also obtain our permission. .”

"Secondly, Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. is not responsible for your fleet. If your fleet encounters problems at sea, all losses will be borne by yourself."

"Third, for all caravans and fleets going to the Nanyang region, the price of everyone's goods in the Nanyang region must be consistent, and the price must not be lowered maliciously."

"Fourth, if you encounter pirates or Japanese countries during the voyage, all ships must obey the command of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company."

Cui Wenjin's voice was very loud and clear, and everyone present could hear it clearly, and everyone nodded while listening. These requirements are not too much, and there is no overlord clause that everyone had expected.

"As long as you are willing to abide by the above four rules, then as long as you are willing to go to Nanyang, our Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. welcomes fleets, caravans, and individuals."

"Our Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. has always been based on the principle that everyone who has money can make money together, and we are very happy to go overseas with everyone to earn more wealth."

Cui Wenjin looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

This is also what Liu Jin said to him, and Liu Jin has always practiced it in this way. Everyone who has money makes money together. These businesses are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are making money.

"Just these four?"

Xu Long asked in disbelief, these few items are too simple.

"Yes, that's four."

"Whether you want to go or not is voluntary. After going to Nanyang, whether you can make money or lose money is up to everyone. Our Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. is just playing a leading role. Everyone is willing Follow, then go overseas to make a fortune together, and we will not force you if you don’t want to.”

Cui Wenjin nodded and replied.

"The conditions are very relaxed~"

Uncle Jianchang, Zhang Heling, nodded slightly after listening. At the same time, he wondered whether Liu Jin had a brain problem, or whether he was really a good person.

Such a good opportunity, if he came to do it.

Among other things, if you want to go to Nanyang together, each family should pay tens of thousands of taels of silver first, this is called a ticket, otherwise no one will take you to play.

Then if you want to go to Nanyang, you have to buy my ship, how much to buy from my many industries, etc. In short, you want to maximize your own interests. There is no free lunch in the world.

This Liu Jin is good, the conditions are so simple, and it can even be said that he took everyone to the Nanyang region to make a fortune for nothing, which is simply sacrificing oneself for others.

He knew that Liu Jin had made a lot of preparations for the opening of the Nanyang route this time, and invested several million taels of money, and now he is willing to take everyone to the Nanyang region for free.

I really can't figure it out~
But if he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, but this does not prevent him from going to the Nanyang region to make a fortune.

"Next, let me tell you about our itinerary. The fleet of our Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is expected to officially set sail for the Nanyang region in half a month, that is, on February [-]th in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi."

"So if you want to go together, you can get ready to come during this period, prepare the ships, cargo and corresponding nautical supplies, etc."

"In addition, the entire voyage is expected to take about eight months. We will first arrive at Ryukyu City on Ryukyu Island. After resupplying here in Ryukyu City, we will go directly to Luzon. After Luzon, we will go to Annan and Siam, and finally After arriving in the Strait of Malacca, we will decide whether to continue to South Asia and the Arabian region according to the situation."

Cui Wenjin smiled, and then took out a small wooden stick and pointed at the huge map behind him to explain the formation arrangement this time.

Going to the Nanyang region is completely different from going to the Golden Island.

The risk of going to the Nanyang region is small, the voyage is short, and there are lands along the way, which can be replenished and rested at any time, and there are countries along the way.

In fact, it is more convenient and closer to go to Nanyang from the Fujian and Guangdong regions of Ming Dynasty. If you want to be on the safe side, you can also take the routes of Guangdong, Guangxi and Annan, and go south along the coastline. This is the safest route.

Even without the many advanced navigation techniques and experience taught by Liu Jin, merchants from the Ming Dynasty often traveled to and from the Nanyang region. The big merchants and families in the Jiangnan region have always monopolized this business, so they made a lot of money.

There are only two dangers to travel to the Nanyang region.

One is the robbery of pirates and Japanese pirates, and the other is a typhoon.

Japanese pirates and pirates are very rampant in the Nanyang region, as well as in the Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang regions of the Ming Dynasty. There are many large and small pirate groups and pirate groups. Some of them are very powerful and specialize in occupying an important route to collect tolls. Caravans going to the Nanyang region must pay tolls honestly, otherwise there is no way to do business at all.

There are also some who are very weak, just a few broken ships, and they also dare to rob the passing merchant ships here. Under the lucrative business, as long as they succeed once, it will be enough for them to eat for a long time.

The composition of these Japanese pirates and pirates is also very complicated. There are fishermen in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty who gradually turned into pirates, Japanese pirates formed by wandering warriors from Japan and North Korea, and pirates from the Nanyang region.

In addition, these pirates and Japanese pirates often have close ties with big families and big businessmen in the coastal areas of Daming and Jiangnan areas, and many of them are even supported by these big families and big businessmen to monopolize money. tool.

In fact, many people in Daming know that it is very profitable to do business in the Nanyang region. The silk, porcelain, and tea from Daming are very valuable in the Nanyang region. A piece of silk can be sold for a few taels of gold.

In the same way, ivory, jewelry, jade, etc. from the Nanyang region are also more expensive than gold in the Ming Dynasty. Ivory is very common in the Nanyang region, but it is a rare item in the Ming Dynasty, and only real nobles can afford it.

This coming and going, the profit is amazing.

It's just that even if they knew that going to the Nanyang region was very profitable, everyone didn't dare to go. One is that the imperial court has always imposed a sea ban. Except for the official fleet, sails are not allowed to go to sea, and it is illegal to even go fishing.

The second is that there are so many pirates and Japanese pirates in the Nanyang region. These people often collude with big families and big businessmen. If anyone goes to the Nanyang region, they will know it quickly.

As long as they are not their own people, they will definitely be ransacked by these pirates and Japanese pirates. Not only will they lose everything, but even people will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

Over time, the huge trade profits going to the Nanyang region were controlled by the big families and businessmen in the Jiangnan region. Only their ships could safely travel to and from the Nanyang region, and their mouths were full of oil.

In addition to pirates and Japanese pirates, the biggest risk is the typhoon.

Typhoons are very common in the Western Pacific region. From Guangxi and Qiongzhou in the southernmost part of Ming Dynasty to the Liaodong region in the northernmost region, typhoons are still a must-see every year even in North Korea and Waguo.

It is said that the Mongol Empire sent troops to conquer Japan several times, but they all failed because of typhoons. Therefore, when sailing in this area, ships are very important, and luck is also very important.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, is still very clear about typhoons. He knows that summer and autumn are the most frequent seasons for typhoons. Now it is winter. It is very safe to go to the Nanyang area. When returning, it is also in winter, so it is safe. ensure.

Of course, if you frequently travel to and from the Nanyang region in the future, you still need to constantly sum up experience with typhoons and master the laws of typhoons. After all, there is no meteorological technology in the future, and you can use satellites to detect typhoons in space.

Everyone listened carefully to Cui Wenjin's explanation of the itinerary. This is very important, because it is related to how everyone should prepare.

At the same time, someone rushed downstairs and said a few rules that Cui Wenjin said. Immediately, everyone on the seventh floor couldn't help cheering. This condition is too loose. Many people were worried that they would not be able to go to Nanyang if they were not strong enough. The people in the area secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
