Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 472 This isn't making money, it's clearly smuggling copper coins for money grabbing

It is naturally impossible for this kind of business to withstand the random inspection of the Shibo Department.

Therefore, they simply sneaked into the coastal cities and secretly carried out such smuggling trade with the merchants in those cities.

Just like this time, Fujiwara Tadai originally thought that he could finally make a fortune, but he never thought of it.

To be surprised by a young general of the Song Dynasty who saw him and others doing private transactions.

As a result, he and the few Song merchants who traded with him were put in prison together, and his ships were also detained.

Thinking about how many business trips he had made in a row without getting caught, it turned out that this time, he got his hands dirty.

I don't know if I can return to the island alive and see my relatives.

Fujiwara Tadai couldn't help feeling a little sad, and almost shed tears.

At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps, Fujiwara Tadai quickly raised his head, and saw the young general who had caught him before, who appeared here accompanied by a young man.

Could it be that the young general brought his brother over to see how the prison holds prisoners?
Just when Fujiwara Tadai was a little confused, he heard the inside of the prison on the side.

Those Song businessmen who were arrested together with him began to plead guilty frequently there.

Only then did I know from the shouting words of those merchants from the Song Dynasty that this was actually the Gao Zhang who became the number one scholar of the Song Dynasty at the age of eleven, who had the conspiracy of ghosts and gods, and single-handedly quelled the chaos of the Zhu family in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Unexpectedly, I, Tadai Fujiwara, would be lucky enough to meet a legendary figure from the Great Song Kingdom..."

At this moment, Fujiwara Tadai looked at Gao Jing with bright eyes, muttering that Japanese language in his mouth.

I made Gao Zhang a bit ignorant directly, mainly because although Gao Zhang also watched Japanese romance movies, he mainly watched action and rarely dabbled in language.

Therefore, Gao Zhang couldn't understand the Japanese devil's jabbering, but Liu Kai beside him couldn't help but asked curiously.

"You Japanese criminal, what are you talking about?"

"I am Fujiwara Tadai, a businessman from the Japanese country. What Fang said is that I never thought that I, Fujiwara Tadai, would be lucky enough to meet a legendary figure from the Great Song Dynasty..."

Hearing the Jiangnan mandarin spoken by this Japanese man with a perfect accent, and adding the other party's surname, Gao Zhang couldn't help wondering.

"Fujiwara Tadai, are you from the Fujiwara clan?"

Fujiwara Tadai couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Gao Zhang's question, and quickly answered loudly.

"Exactly, this is the second son of Fujiwara Nobunaga, the third son of the Taizheng Minister and Kanshiro Fujiwara Gyotsu..."

"Minister of the Taizheng... Unexpectedly, he is actually the queen of the important minister of the Wa Kingdom."

Gao Zhang was really taken aback. After all, the grand minister of the Wa Kingdom, Guan Bai, these official positions can be said to be the most powerful positions among the officials of the Wa Kingdom.

I didn't expect a smuggler to have such a deep background.

Could it be that this kid came to smuggle under the order of the king of the country of Japan?

It's just that these things are naturally not suitable for inquiring here, so Gao Zhang wandered over to those Song businessmen to inquire about the situation.

Only then did I have a general understanding that this Fujiwara Tadai had brought a total of 3000 taels of gold.

I plan to use the 3000 taels of gold to exchange for a whole boatload of copper coins to return to the country of Wa.

3000 taels of gold can be converted into 3 taels of silver in the Song Dynasty, which is [-] guan. If it is converted into copper coins, it is really a lot.

However, in Gao Zhang's view, the operation of exchanging gold for copper coins is really only the Japanese country, which is rich in gold, capable of such a coquettish operation.

But in fact, 1000 taels of gold can actually be exchanged for 3000 taels of silver in the Song Dynasty. 3000 taels, then at least 9000 taels of silver can be exchanged...

After Gao Zhang made quick calculations in his mind, he was secretly astounded that these old and cunning profiteers really knew how to do business.

But having said that, the identity of this Fujiwara Tadai also aroused Gao Zhang's curiosity.

After all, I originally wanted to do business with the Wa country, to do big business.

This guy can get 3000 taels of gold for smuggling, and he is also the grandson of that minister.

From the looks of it, the Fujiwara family should also be regarded as a direct descendant.

It didn't take long for Gao Zhang to turn around and leave the prison, and then he gave a few words to Liu Kai who was beside him.

Liu Qi was ordered to go back to the prison, and in a short while, he snatched that Fujiwara Tadai out.

After a while, he was brought to Gao Zhang.

The first time he saw Gao Zhang, Fujiwara Tadai hurriedly fell to the ground respectfully.

"Come on, tell me carefully, what is going on, why does the grandson of the grand minister of the Taizheng want to start a smuggling business under his rule?"

Facing this figure and appearance, he was just a handsome young man from Song Dynasty.

Naturally, Fujiwara Tadai didn't dare to hide anything, so he began to tell the story.

That is, since his grandfather Fujiwara passed away, the decline of the Fujiwara family in the political arena of Japan has been inevitable.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse anyway. Although it loses political power, its wealth is still quite happy.

#####
And his father Fujiwara Nobunaga saw that his official career was hopeless, so he started a business. What kind of business makes a lot of money, naturally it is engaged in maritime trade.

And he was chosen by his own father to be in charge of maritime trade.

Of course, he is not all engaged in unscrupulous smuggling business. After all, maritime trade is still mainly serious business.

However, there is a lack of currency for trade exchange in the country of Wa, which naturally made the maritime merchants of the country see business opportunities.

Naturally, Fujiwara Tadai also saw it, so he hooked up with these merchants when he was doing business in Mingzhou.

After repeated discussions, the two parties finally reached an agreement, agreeing that a tael of gold can be exchanged for [-] yuan, and decided to put the trading site on an inconspicuous small wharf in Suzhou.

"Wait a minute, you said how much copper coins are exchanged for one tael of gold?"

Gao Zhang quickly raised his hand to stop Fujiwara Tadai who was speaking eloquently.

"One tael of gold for [-] yuan."

Fujiwara Tadai looked at Gao Zhang, and said in Jiangnan Mandarin with a correct accent.

At this moment, Liu Kai who was sitting next to Gao Zhang, and Miss Fang Baihua who was standing behind them all gasped.

"Is this crazy?" Gao Zhang couldn't help but raised his hand and wiped his face.

I was still calculating that the gang of profiteers could earn thousands of dollars in this business.

Now it seems that I really underestimated the courage of these profiteers.

Only 1000 taels of gold can be exchanged for [-] guan of copper coins, while the market price is around [-] guan.

In other words, for 1000 taels of gold, they could earn almost [-] taels of net profit.

3000 taels of gold can directly earn more than [-] taels of profit.This horse riding is not doing business, it is simply stealing money.
