As soon as Yang Fu and his ship docked at the port, they were welcomed by all parties.
In just a few days, the full ship has been sold out.
Yang Fu listened to Huo Xi's words, and exchanged the goods he brought with the Japanese for a large amount of money. He exchanged the gold he brought for Japanese silver, and exchanged the goods with the Japanese.
The 600 shi of white sugar and rock sugar brought by the family were sold to Fan merchants in the Wei Dynasty, and they were sold for only a few dozen taels per shi. It was also scrambled for.
Only six hundred stones of sugar can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty thousand taels of Japanese silver.
The hundred bolts of cloud brocade bought from Wu Youcai were tribute brocades. In the Wei Dynasty, they were sold at a price but had no market. In the Wa Kingdom, they were sold for two hundred taels, and the hundred bolts of cloud brocade got 20,000 taels. That ship of official porcelain also got 80,000 taels.
All kinds of fans, mother-of-pearl boxes, mother-of-pearl handicrafts, and velvet flowers also sold for 30,000 taels.
Silk, yarn, and silk can be exchanged for thirty to fifty taels for a piece, and five taels for a catty of raw silk, almost ten times the price.
Last year, Guangfengshui harvested nearly 1,000 shi of the raw silk produced in Sangtian at home and harvested outside, all of which were sent to Songjiang’s own weaving workshop to be woven into silk. In this way, I got another 60,000 taels of silver.
I didn’t bring much tea, but I got 20,000 taels.
In this way, the goods Yang Fu brought this time got 360,000 taels of silver.
Things were sold out, and Yang Fu went on to buy goods and ship them back to China. Five loads of red copper and five taels of silver, one load is two hundred and seventy catties, and one catty is nineteen wen, which can be sold for three hundred wen per catty when transported back to China.
There are many volcanoes in the country of Japan, and there are many sulfur and flame nitrates, and they are cheap. One catty of sulfur has six liters, and two catties of flame nitrate has three liters. These are things that are in short supply when transported back to the country, and the profit is almost twenty times. Yang Fu bought a lot.
The black cane sugar in Kagoshima is fifteen cents a catty, and Yang Fu directly wrapped up the two hundred shi cane sugar from others.
I bought some tinware, tortoise shell, Japanese sword, scissors, cooking utensils and so on. I heard that the Japanese knife is a technique of lading steel on soft iron. Yang Fu didn't know what it was, but he saw that Langguangge had bought a lot, so he followed suit.
I also bought some furs from North Korea, fox fur, earth leopard skin, mountain otter skin, thick paper, ginseng, yellow white wax and other things.
The one thousand gold brought by Yang Fu was exchanged for 15,000 taels of silver in the country of Wa. Naturally, the silver and goods brought by Longxing Wanjia Timber Co., Ltd. were more useful.
Using the different exchange ratios of gold and silver in the two countries, half of the goods were exchanged.
Several family members called him a chicken thief. Who brought so much gold out of a trip to sea? In case of overturning the sea, there is no sound at all. Who is not bartering?
Only this guy secretly brought a lot of gold over.
However, if you ask Yang Fu, he still wants to bring more gold, but the family can only hold a thousand stones in weight, so he is not easy to bring more.
After the transaction was completed, Yang Fu took the four of them, Ma Xiang and others, to wander around Hirado and its surrounding areas. After seeing all the customs and customs of the Japanese country, it felt like an eye-opener.
Ma Xiang also secretly asked Yang Fu: "Will you come next year?"
Yang Fu glanced at him: "You still want to come out?"
Ma Xiang nodded again and again: "Although this trip was dangerous and encountered a storm, I am willing to die after taking this trip. It is better than staying in one place all my life. This time I can be regarded as an eye-opener. After that, how much more talk can be added? This trip is worth it."
Yang Fu also felt it was worth it.
If there is a chance to come out, he will naturally want to come out.
The four of them are in the same mood. In the past, they were all dark people, they couldn't even show their faces, they didn't even deserve a name, they only had a code name, but now the master not only gave them a name, but also gave them a chance to travel.
It was worth the trip.
Going back this time, they will be able to appear in front of people dignifiedly. From now on, the master's life is their life.
Yang Fu glanced at Zhuifeng and the four of them, grateful for their presence.
I heard that the Wa country has a lot of mineral deposits, the island country is small, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. I heard that those ronin snatched many slaves from various countries and sold them to mine owners for mining.
He came alive from the sea, and if he was robbed of mining here, it would be a heartbreak.
Fortunately, Chasing Wind and the others are there.
Seeing that he was a foreigner, those people were secretly staring at him, and there were quite a few people who wanted to steal him away. They were all solved secretly by Zhufeng. These people lost without even a few moves in Zhu Feng's hands.
How about saying that the Eastern Kingdom has a historical background, and the kung fu and skills are naturally passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. How can these ronin compare.
We stopped at Hirado Port for nearly a month, and the goods were exchanged, and what should be bought were bought, and everyone was ready to return to the voyage.
Before leaving, Yang Fu bought some Japanese seafood, eel, bonito, mullet roe, black beef and black pork, and bought a lot of citrus pomelo and a lot of fruit. Vegetables, all kinds of live livestock, chickens, ducks and sheep are ready to be raised and killed on the boat to eat.
There are also all kinds of beans, ready to eat raw bean sprouts on board.
Xi'er said that after staying at sea for a long time, she will get various diseases, so she should eat more vegetables. The few sacks of dried vegetables and dried fruits he brought, everyone came to grab them in the end.
So, they set off from Ningbo at the end of April, arrived at Hirado Port in early August, stopped for nearly a month, and returned from Hirado in early September.
It was the end of another year, and Guangfengshui made accounts according to the routine.
This year, the shop bought five more large boats, and opened five shops in Xuzhou, Jining, Linqing, Cangzhou, and Tianjin along the North Canal. In this way, the layout of the important cities along the North-South Canal has been completed.
Although I spent a lot of money to buy a ship and open a shop this year, the combined profit of each shop at the end of the year is 50,000 taels more than last year's 350,000 taels.
It seems that the sea trade business is booming, and the water and sea business is booming.
Although this year's results did not allow Huo Xi to jump up a level, they are still at Xiao Jia's level, but Huo Xi is very satisfied.
A shop was opened in the north this year, and the goods were delivered in a timely manner. The profit of the two shops in Beiping doubled compared with last year. Leading the store business in the North Canal section has doubled.
Although the Ningbo shop opened late, it caught up from behind and took advantage of the convenience of the big sea trade port to become the most profitable among all the shops in one fell swoop.
In order to reward the Ningbo shop, Huo Xi directly promoted Zhu Zhongquan to be the store manager, and allowed him to come to the capital to report on his work at the end of the year, so that he could meet Xia He.
The two fathers and daughters met with tears in their eyes. Tell a lot of thoughts.
"Stay well by your boss's side, be obedient, learn more from your boss, and don't do anything against the master." Zhu Zhongquan urged earnestly.
Xia He took her father's hand and nodded while wiping tears: "I know. Now I'm learning to read the account books with my boss. In the future, I will also show the shop and the accounts to my boss...Father, I miss you so much."
Zhu Zhongquan stroked his daughter's head. The child was only ten years old. He left them at such a young age. How could he not miss him.
But seeing that she is doing well and has grown a bit taller, she is relieved, "If you think about it, write to us. Dad will come to the capital often in the future, and our father and daughter will often have the opportunity to meet."
As he spoke, he took out a purse and offered to give it to Xia He, but Xia He refused.
"Father, I have silver. Now I have five taels of silver per month. I work in the workshop when I am free, and I have earned a lot of silver. Now I have saved more than ten taels of silver!"
"So much? Then you save it well, buy whatever you want, and don't be reluctant to spend it."
Xia He nodded, and handed another package to her father: "This is a gift I bought for my parents and Dongsheng Qiushuang."
Zhu Zhongquan accepted it happily: "Okay, my daughter has already earned money to buy gifts for her parents and younger siblings, so my father will keep it. You have to listen to what Miss says, you know?"
Xia He sent off her father with a package of clothes, shoes and socks that her mother made for her. There were her clothes and Miss's in it.
After finishing the account, I will send away all the shopkeepers. It is approaching the first month.
At this time, Huo Xi heard a news that a ship returning from the country of Wa capsized in the sea less than a hundred miles away from Ningbo Port.
