Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 573, excited businessman
"A ship from Eastern Ming Dynasty?"

In the port of Visaka, Bihar's head was a little buzzing, and he never thought that this huge fleet came from Daming.

He knew about that mysterious, rich and powerful eastern country.

Historically, there have been contacts between Tianzhu and the big eastern countries, not only in Buddhism, but also in Tibet in the north of Tianzhu and Burma in the west. These two places have contacts with the East.

The Ming Dynasty also had contacts with Tianzhu. The three-treasure eunuch traveled to the West almost every time he arrived in Tianzhu, and he must return to Visaka Port every time.

So far, it has only been more than [-] years. Up to now, here in Visaka Port, you can still hear many old people recalling the scene when the Sanbao eunuch fleet arrived at Visaka Port.

The incomparably huge fleet stretches across a vast expanse, as if the entire ocean is about to be covered by this huge fleet.

Their ships are very large and beautiful, like palaces moving on the sea.

They are extremely rich, and the countless silks and porcelains are so exquisite that people are amazed.

"They are here again~"

Bihar recalled the content and information about the mysterious eastern power in his mind, and then very readily agreed to Du Mingen's fleet's request to stay and do business in Visaka Port.

Porcelain and silk from the Orient, good stuff.

Not only is it very popular in Persia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Europe, but it is also extremely popular in Tianzhu, and it is also something that only the top Brahmin nobles and Kshatriya nobles can enjoy. They are not qualified to enjoy these good things from the East.

The news has already spread in the port of Visa, and more and more people gathered here, scrambling to see the appearance of the mysterious oriental man.

Of course, merchants from Persia and the Middle East are the most active among them. They are most eager to buy goods from Ming Dynasty, such as porcelain and silk, which are all good things.

Some merchants among them even traveled thousands of miles to Daming by land in order to buy silk and porcelain from Daming, while others chose to take the sea route.

First arrived in Tianzhu, then arrived in Myanmar, and then arrived in the Nanyang region. If you are lucky, you can buy Ming silk and porcelain in this Nanyang region.

But the quantity is very small, and the price is also made by others. They are very eager to start trading directly with Ming Dynasty.

According to their ancient legends, the mysterious, rich, and powerful East is very rich. There are more silk and porcelain than imagined. Everyone wears silk and uses porcelain.

This is simply unimaginable abundance.

We must know that when porcelain and silk arrived in Persia and the Middle East, its price was not comparable to that of gold, but it was not much different.

Both routes used to be very smooth.

It was just that as the Mongol Empire swept across the Eurasian continent, the land route was cut off, and it has not yet been opened. Only a few people were lucky enough to reach Daming and brought back a limited amount of silk and porcelain.

As for the sea route, Ming Dynasty implemented a strict sea return ban policy, and sails were not allowed to enter the sea. The sea trade that had been continuously coming and going in the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty stopped all of a sudden.

The silk and porcelain that the sea merchants in the Jiangnan area sneaked to the Nanyang area for luck are not enough for the consumption of these countries in the Nanyang area.

"Hey~ I'm Bukhara, a Persian merchant. I have a lot of gold in my hand. I want to do business with you."

The Persian businessman Bukhara waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of the Ming people on board.

It's just that at this moment, not only him, but the entire port is cheering, cheering for the arrival of the Deming fleet.

Moreover, the Daming people on the boat couldn't understand what he was saying at all, and when they saw him waving, some people waved to him with a smile.

As the ships got closer and closer, everyone could clearly see everything on these big blessing boats and big sailing boats.

The ships are very tall, and in the port, the ships of the Andra Kingdom's **** and the ships of the A~~La~~Bo~~ people are all very small.

"Oh, Lord, their clothes are beautiful, and the colors are so bright and striking."

"Are these Daming people all wearing silk?"

"Their boat is really big~"

In the port, people kept sighing.

Soon, large ships moored at the small pier in the port.

"Tianzhu has arrived~"

Du Mingen, dressed in a crimson robe, was very formally dressed, and walked off the 'Taishan' with a smile on his face.

"Welcome distinguished guests from afar, my name is Bihar, and I am an official at Visakha Port in the Kingdom of Andhra."

Bihar led a group of Visa Port officials to express his warm welcome.

"My name is Du Mingen, and I am Taiping Marquis of Daming ~ Thank you for your welcome."

"A small heart is not a respect, please accept it with a smile~"

Du Mingen is already very familiar with how to greet people from these strange countries.

In a word, it is not surprising that there are many people who are polite. In short, whenever he goes to a place, Du Mingen will immediately present a set of exquisite glass products.

This thing is cheap, the key is that it is high-end and elegant, and it is very handy.

"Oh, Lord Buddha, this gift is really too precious~"

When Bihar saw the gift from Du Mingen, he couldn't help being amazed.

All kinds of glass products are very exquisite, and they reflect intoxicating light under the sunlight. The light not only amazes Bihar, but also allows everyone in the entire port to see clearly.

"What it is?"

"Why is it so bright?"

Someone's eyes were white by the light reflected by the glass mirror, and they couldn't help but marvel.

In this era, people who can take pictures can't open their eyes, that is definitely a treasure.

"Lord, these things are so beautiful."

The merchants from Persia and Middle Earth looked straight.

"Haha, be careful~"

Looking at the shining eyes of these people, Du Mingen couldn't help laughing happily.

I also sighed in my heart, glass is really a good thing, there are so many glass factories in Beijing and Tianjin, they are not worth much at all, but when they go overseas, these glass products are all real money.

"Distinguished guest, I have prepared the best banquet, please enjoy it~"

After receiving the precious meeting gift, Bihar was very excited, but also very happy and satisfied. He immediately gave instructions to the people around him, and then warmly invited Du Mingen to attend his banquet.

"Thank you for your hospitality~"

Du Mingen smiled and expressed his thanks.

Along the way, he has also been in contact with people from many countries, and he is very familiar with them.

He was also very tired all the way, and he happened to take a good rest here at Visa, but his destination had not yet arrived. He was going to Persia and Middle-earth, and if possible, he also wanted to go to the Mediterranean.

Du Mingen took people to the banquet in Bihar.

The people on the other ships began to get busy in a very orderly manner.

Like other places, put the goods you brought over directly next to the ship and start doing business.

Everyone in the fleet is already very proficient in this set.

Everyone went to sea with Du Mingen, not to go to sea to see exotic scenery, they went to sea to make money.

The entire huge fleet is actually a private fleet, which belongs to Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., and most of the people in the fleet are employees of Tianjin Ocean Trading Co.

Although the moon ring they went to sea was high, but the little money of the moon ring has long been looked down upon by everyone.

What is really important is the dividend, and the crew can get [-]% of the profit.

So without going to a place, the most important thing for everyone is to do business and earn money. Of course, gold is the best. Only when the commercial bank earns more money, when the dividends are finally distributed, the money that everyone can get will be paid. More.

The crew members who followed Du Mingen to the Golden Continent all made a fortune. In just one and a half years, each of them received several thousand taels of silver.

For ordinary, low-level people like them, this is astronomical wealth, enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.

The nature of their going to sea is completely different from that of the Sanbao eunuch going to sea.

They are chasing wealth, chasing the market for commodities, and everything is only looking at gold and silver.

As the crew put out a large number of commodities, the entire Visakha port suddenly began to boil, and the local merchants in the Kingdom of Andhra, Persian merchants, and A~~La~~ Bo merchants suddenly went crazy. He rushed up, staring at the things placed in front of him with bright eyes.

The same goes for Bukhara, who took a good position with his men and was the first to rush to the dock stall where a boat was moored.

"This is Ming Dynasty porcelain, and it is just like the one in the legend, very exquisite~"

"This is silk, it's really silky, it feels like a girl's skin, it's unforgettable~"

Bukhara picked up the porcelain and silk, touched them carefully, and immediately couldn't help but nodded.

This thing is right, only Daming can make such exquisite porcelain and silk. People from other places have tried firing porcelain in the past, but the fired porcelain is simply not comparable to Daming porcelain.

Not only is it very rough, but it is also very ugly. Compared with Daming porcelain, it is simply rubbish.

As for silk, it is a special product unique to Daming.

Silk is very light and silky, and that unique feeling is the most noble enjoyment, which is far beyond the comparison of the cloth they weave.

"Is this a mirror?"

Then, soon his eyes were deeply attracted by a full-length mirror, and his eyes widened.

　It is difficult for us to understand why silk and porcelain were so expensive abroad in ancient times, because the world was very backward at that time, and porcelain and silk were the most exquisite things~
