Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 527, they are here again
In Sulu Bay, the mighty fleet is slowly heading towards the port area.

On the "Ping An", Wang Gensheng, Tang Mazi, Yao Ding, Zhao Li, and Shi Wenlong stood on the deck, looking at the port in front of them expectantly.

The five people worked hard to buy a cargo and followed the fleet south to Nanyang. Naturally, what they expected was to sell the goods in their hands at a good price and make a fortune.

Originally, Lusong Kingdom was regarded as the first stop in Nanyang, but now it has become the territory of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, so Sulu Kingdom naturally became the first stop.

"I don't know if the goods we brought over can sell for a good price~"

Tang Mazi licked his tongue and said.

All five of them came from poor backgrounds, and because of their luck, they entered Tianjin Maritime Academy to study. After they came out, they became sailors and captains and saved their first fortune. Then they bought ships together and went to North Korea and Japan to do business.

Although for ordinary people, they have been very successful.

However, compared with the people in these large and small business houses around them, they are still poor and cannot stand the toss. Nanyang made a fortune.

"Don't worry, our Daming stuff is very valuable in Nanyang. If it can be shipped to Europe, this batch of silk can be worth as much as gold."

"There are also porcelain, spices, tea, etc. If these things are shipped to Europe, our ship can be exchanged for a ship of gold and silver."

Wang Gensheng's eyes were slightly red, and he said with certainty after thinking about it.

"But this is not Europe after all, this is Nanyang, and there are too many ships coming this time, it is estimated that the competition will be fierce after all."

Yao Ding thought for a while and said.

"I've asked the people here in Crescent Bay. There are hundreds of countries in Nanyang, large and small. After Sulu, everyone will disperse. At that time, we will find a small country, a small place, Just sell our cargo."

"Competition between big countries and big places is fierce, and we are weak and cannot squeeze in."

Wang Gensheng is a thoughtful person, and many things have been clearly planned.

"Then here in Sulu Kingdom, our things are not sold anymore?"

Shi Wenlong immediately said doubtfully.

"Sell, as long as the price is right, we can sell some appropriately. If the price is too low, we won't sell. The most important thing this time is to find out the prices of various things and prepare for the future."

Wang Gensheng shook his head slightly and said.

"No matter what, our eggs cannot be put in one basket~"

.......
On the entire huge fleet, all the ships, large and small, were constantly discussing, hoping that the goods brought by everyone here in Sulu Kingdom could be sold at a good price.

More than a dozen small boats sent by Godala, the Eastern King of Sulu Kingdom, also rowed towards the fleet very quickly, and they got closer and closer. Gradually, they finally saw the true colors of these boats clearly.

"This is Daming's ship~"

Seeing the structure of the ship, and then looking at the flags hanging on the ship and the Ming people on the ship, they soon knew, and then they were relieved,

Daming is the suzerain of the Sulu Kingdom. The relationship between Sulu Kingdom and Daming has always been good. Sulu Kingdom has paid tribute to Daming many times in the history. The ancestor of the Eastern King Godala once led a huge tribute delegation to Daming to meet Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty .

In the end, when he came back, he died of illness and was buried in Dezhou, Shandong, and there are still their Dongwang clansmen spreading branches and leaves in Shandong.

Soon, the two sides are very close, very close, and they can see each other.

"Is it a merchant ship from Ming Dynasty?"

Brother Du came to the side of the 'Taishan' and looked up at the huge ship. Compared with this huge ship, the ship he was on was like a toy.

"Yes, we are merchant ships from Ming Dynasty, and we request to do business in your country~"

Du Mingen asked someone to reply.

"Welcome~Welcome, our Sulu Kingdom and Daming have been friendly for generations, and welcome the arrival of the merchants of Daming~"

After getting an affirmative answer, the elder brother immediately expressed his welcome, and then excitedly rowed to the Sulu port. He wanted to tell the news to the Eastern King Godala, and asked him to prepare a grand welcome ceremony to welcome the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. arrival.

In the port, Godara was very anxiously standing on a high place and kept looking into the distance. He wanted to see the true colors of these big ships clearly. Without binoculars, it was still very difficult to see clearly the things on the sea with the naked eye.

But it didn't take too long, Brother Du came back with excitement.

"It's Daming's merchant ship~It's Daming's merchant ship~"

Brother shouted out excitedly.

"Da Ming's Merchant Ship~"

Hearing this, Godala breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly ordered: "Immediately make arrangements and prepare for the welcome ceremony and banquet. I want to grandly entertain distinguished guests from Daming."

"Yes~"

When the subordinates heard this, they nodded quickly and started to get busy immediately.

Godala brought his own people to the port wharf, looking at the approaching fleet, his eyes sparkled.

"Such a large-scale fleet must have been sent by the Ming court~"

"After decades, Daming finally sent angels to my country of Sulu~"

Looking at the big ships getting closer, Godala can already clearly see the style of these ships, which are completely different from the ships in the Nanyang region. At the same time, he can also see the Minglong flag hanging on the ship A tall Ming man on the deck.

The last time the Sanbao eunuch sailed to the west was in the fifth year of Xuande, that is, in 1431, he sailed seven times to the west and passed through the Sulu country. Since then, there has been no large-scale fleet of Ming Dynasty to reach the Nanyang area and Sulu country.

It has been the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, which is 1500 years, and it has been almost 70 years since the Ming Dynasty did not have such a large fleet of ships arriving in Sulu.

In the past, some merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty arrived in Sulu, but the scale was very small, that is, a few ships, and these ships were not as big as the ships in front of them, and the scale was even more incomparable.

So Godala is very sure that the huge fleet in front of him must be the fleet sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Nanyang region to visit their Sulu Kingdom fleet, which is as large as the Sanbao eunuch's voyage to the West.

Soon, Taishan moored slowly on the pier of the port. Like Crescent Bay here, the pier in Sulu Bay is too small, and the number is too small. There is no way to moor so many ships, so some ships Had to berth in the harbor and turn to a small boat for transit.

Du Mingen, dressed in a crimson robe, slowly walked down the Mount Tai, and Godala hurriedly led the crowd to greet him respectfully: "Little King Godala, the East King of the Sulu Kingdom, welcomes the Great Angel from afar."

After speaking, he led everyone to bow and salute slowly to Du Mingen, performing the courtesies of a subordinate, and his status was still very low.

"This is Du Mingen, Marquis of Taiming and Taiping. I have taken the liberty to come to your country this time. What a bother~"

Du Mingen also bowed his hands to pay tribute, and said very politely.

"Master Hou is polite, please come inside, I have already prepared a banquet for Lord Hou~"

Glinda looked at Du Mingen, then at the big ships around, and said with a smile on her face.

"Please~"

Du Mingen followed Godara to the East King's Palace to discuss, and the people from many business houses who followed Du Mingen here began to get busy.

I saw that from the big ships, the people from these trading houses carried out their products, and then set up stalls directly at the pier. The meaning is obvious, we are here to do business.

Everyone doesn't have much experience, and they can only do business in this way. They don't even understand the language. Many people in commercial firms are sweating from their foreheads and don't know how to operate.

Seeing people from other commercial firms set up stalls here at the pier, displaying their own things, everyone began to do the same, took out some samples from the ship, put them on the table, and soon attracted the attention of Sulu Kingdom at the port. people came to watch.

As early as when the fleet entered the harbor, the people on the entire Sulu Island had been alarmed. Everyone had curiosity and recognized that the large-scale fleet had arrived at Sulu Port.

There was no need for publicity at all, and many businessmen flocked like sharks smelling blood.

Soon, after learning that these ships were from Daming, and they were merchant ships from Daming, the people of Sulu Kingdom became even more crazy. , Whether you want to do business, in short, it is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. Everyone likes to join in the fun and is very curious about new things.

The people of Sulu Kingdom all know about Daming, and Daming still has a great influence in the Nanyang region, and silk, porcelain, tea, etc. from Daming are the most sought-after goods.

The wealthy people in the Nanyang area are proud of wearing silk clothes and using Ming Dynasty porcelain, and the rich and powerful are all fond of drinking Ming Dynasty tea.

And Daming has always been synonymous with strength and prosperity in their conception. Many people heard the old man tell about the scene when the Sanbao eunuch went to the West and arrived in Sulu Kingdom when they were young.

There are even some very old people on the scene, who are constantly recalling, recalling when they were young, the scene they saw at that time is exactly the same as now.

There are big ships on the sea, mighty and mighty, stretching across the entire sea. The people of Daming brought exquisite silk, white porcelain, intoxicating tea, and peace and friendship to Sulu Kingdom, allowing them to see the power of Daming and prosperity, I keep dreaming of that great country in my mind.

Now they come again~
