Chapter 169 Homing
Tuo Lei and Li Yong were also unambiguous. After negotiating the price with Qu Mao, they didn't even sign the contract, so they began to arrange for Qu Mao's ship to carry and count the goods.
Busy until about ten o'clock in the evening, Tuo Lei and Li Yong's personnel completely removed all the blank rune stones and animal skins from the five sea ships.
Li Yong's side is simple, 150,000 units of blank rune stones directly carried 3 boxes of gold coins to Qu Mao to the ship, 15,000 gold coins is a lot of money, Li Yong is obviously not a hero, he can only use wooden boxes to store gold coins Carried to Qu Mao ship.
A box of gold coins is exactly 5,000 gold coins. Sunan has already returned to Yancheng Port in the evening, so he will naturally arrange for someone to count the number.
Su Nan didn't have much opinion on the price that Qu Mao negotiated, and honestly counted the gold coins.
Animal skins are relatively more complicated. There are not many elephant skins, estimated to be at most 3,000 pieces, and there are not many rabbit skins. After all, the meat production of wild rabbits is too small, and the hunting troops of Yi Village are not willing to hunt wild rabbits.
Sunan felt that the price that Qu Mao sold the animal skins to Tuo Lei was a very good price. In the end, Tuo Lei also carried three gold coin boxes to Qu Mao's boat, but apart from the two boxes full of 5,000 gold coins, There are not even 1000 gold coins in a box.
It has been more than half a year since Qu Mao came to this world. It was the first time he saw so many gold coins. In an instant, he had the urge to pour out all the gold coins and then lie down on the pile of gold coins to sleep.
Of course, this also means that Qu Mao needs to load the goods on the ship the next day, preparing to return to Yidao.
In the news of Yancheng that Sunan brought back, it was also said that the whole Yancheng was in turmoil during the day, and Yancheng troops were hunting for rebel thugs everywhere. As for whether the thugs were arrested or not, everyone knew it well, but Qu Mao felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Countless young people among civilians were captured in this operation led by officers and soldiers, and finally disappeared.
This kind of thing has happened frequently in Yancheng in the past six months. Although the residents of Yancheng are very disgusted with this kind of behavior of the city lord, they have not caused any particularly big incidents.
After counting the number of gold coins, Sunan went to Qu Mao's room to discuss some things about Yancheng.
Maffei Trani and others cannot return to Easy Island with Qumao this time, because they have decided to relocate their family to Easy Island, although it is easier for Maffei Trani to relocate because he only has one younger sister, Sophie Trani, but his other little friends still have to take care of their families and need time to sell the property here and pack up the things they want to take away.
Beginning at noon the next day, Jack Twain escorted 800 female slaves and 700 male slaves to the wharf of Yancheng Port in batches. Catch up with Qu Mao's ship.
At the same time, 15 boatmen and their families were escorted to the pier, a total of 81 people from 15 households. However, Qu Mao did not let the slaves and boatmen board the boat, but counted out a total of 1,850 gold coins from the gold coin box on the boat and handed them to Jack. · Twain, and asked Jack Twain to take care of the diet and health of the slaves, and boarded the ship at three o'clock in the morning the next day.
For this reason, Qu Mao privately gave Jack Twain 20 gold coins as meal money for these slaves.
As for how much Sunan should give in private, this is not something Qu Mao has to consider.
At about 2 p.m., Jerry Chen, the owner of the sundry store in Yancheng, has already transported the books, tools, seeds, daily necessities, production tools, living tools and pasture seeds purchased on Qu Mao’s behalf to Qu Mao’s five ships.
Jack Twain glanced at Qu Mao in astonishment, then at Sunan, leaned over and said in a low voice, "My lord, brother Qu Sheng, with all due respect for the villain, it's not appropriate to drag Haiyan with so many slaves on board.
It seems that the adults have never done the slave business. The slaves lived on the sea ship for more than two months, and they would definitely die. Moreover, slaves are different from other goods, and they will pollute the quality of sea salt.
Besides, the money we are doing now is definitely no worse than Haiyan. I believe that adults will like this business after returning to the Mughal Empire.
Based on the quality of the supply this time, as long as half of them can disembark in the Mughal Empire alive, the villain believes that the adults will definitely earn more than buying and selling sea salt.
There is a way to make a lot of money, why bother thinking about Haiyan's small profit but quick turnover business? "
Sunan also took the opportunity to persuade: "My lord, Captain Jack is right, Captain Jack will put five shuttle boats on the deck of the sea ship tonight, and will drive the slaves to the five sea ships in the early morning of tomorrow. Go back and try to sell."
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We won't buy sea salt this time. For the fleet that will come over next week, Brother Qu Sheng, you can figure it out."
Jack Twain continued to persuade: "My lord, according to the villain's opinion, you should not continue to do the sea salt business. How good it is for us to work together to continue this business!"
Seeing that Qu Mao couldn't handle it, Sunan quickly smoothed things over and said, "Battlemaster Jack doesn't know something. My family is also worried that this place is too far away from the Mughal Empire. If the goods on the road are too damaged, they will lose everything."
Jack Twain waved his hand and patted Sunan on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Qu Sheng, I have to talk about you, and you should also work hard with your grown-up brothers and study business strategies.
On the way back to the Mughal Empire, about 500 kilometers away from Yancheng Port is another country’s seaport, and you can definitely sell part of it there. Earn back the capital first, and the loss of the rest will naturally be reduced because there is more space on the ship. "
Sunan glanced at Qu Mao, then at Jack Twain, and said, "Brother, I don't know, it's a port city of a vassal state over there, but the lord of that vassal state didn't know much about our Mughal Empire. The emperor is not respectful."
Jack Twain interrupted with a smile: "Brother Qu Sheng, who in business thinks about high-level matters?
Besides, the fact that the king of the Hou Kingdom is disrespectful to the emperor does not mean that the officers in the harbor are disrespectful to the gold coins, you understand! "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Okay, anyway, they don't object to our port supply now, I will try it when I return, but you have to deal with it when you return, Brother Qu Sheng.
There is still about a week before the next fleet arrives, so Brother Qu Sheng and Captain Jack can drink for a few days.
Tomorrow at four o'clock in the morning to weigh anchor and set sail on time, I have to work hard tonight, Commander Jack. "
Jack Twain laughed and said, "Don't worry, my lord! Your trip will not be delayed!"
Qu Mao nodded in satisfaction, and did not return to the inn, and went directly to the boat to rest.
Su Nan returned to the Yancheng Port Inn with 2 third-tier jumping helpers and 10 first-tier sailors.
