Become a feudal king from today

Treasure Island. read

When Zhao Xu was inspecting Yanguan, merchants from Black Shark Trading Company gathered here.

On the north side of the island, on the side close to Goryeo, Yang He and Zhou Yi ordered merchants to build temporary straw sheds.

Goods from Yanzhou are placed on long tables under the thatched shed, just like a market.

At this time, many Korean merchants were walking through the market, looking for their favorite goods.

Unable to bear the harassment of the Black Shark pirates, the Goryeo court had to agree to the terms of the Black Shark pirates.

They were recently asked by court officials to go to Treasure Island.

However, the court officials did not force him to buy the Black Shark pirates' goods.

It seemed like they were brought here just to cope.

They also came to Treasure Island with this mentality.

But when they saw the Black Shark pirates' merchandise with their own eyes, they were all dumbfounded.

To this day, I still feel amazed from time to time at the market.

"Ah, I have never drunk such delicious wine in my life. If it is smuggled back to Goryeo, the adults in the court will definitely like it very much."

"This perfume will definitely make Korean women crazy."

"The soap is also very good, and this thing called glass is amazing."

"..."

When the Korean merchants were discussing loudly, they rushed to inquire about the price from the merchants of Black Shark Trading Company.

Some merchants even placed orders directly, which was very lively.

"There are still too few types of goods." Zhou Yi and Yang He said while inspecting the market.

The goods that drove Korean merchants crazy were some of the best-selling goods in Dasong.

Other ordinary commercial goods from Dasong seemed to have little appeal to Korean merchants.

Yang He nodded and did not deny this.

They occupied the Korean market and improved the variety of goods to increase profits.

Later, he used the huge profits to purchase Korean goods.

Such as food, minerals, timber, etc.

As a result, even Yanzhou's domestic trade in Dasong will be affected.

They were also able to obtain necessary supplies from Korea.

"Don't worry about this. The steam engine recently developed by His Highness and Wang Chong is very powerful. His Highness said that Yanzhou will be able to produce more commercial goods soon." Yang He's eyes were filled with anticipation.

After a pause, he said: "And our Black Shark Trading Company only needs to sell goods to every corner of the world."

Yang He, like other government officials, has often learned about the world outside of Dasong through King Yan.

The word world was also mastered at that time.

As a naval general, Zhou Yi naturally understood this word better than Yang He, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.

Although his fleet is currently only active in the waters near Yanzhou.

But his heart was already racing on a wider ocean.

"With His Highness's ambition, this day will come." Zhou Yi looked determined.

After chatting all the way, the two arrived at the beach.

At this moment, it is very busy here, and some craftsmen are driving wooden piles in the shallow water to build a pier.

In addition, there are craftsmen building forts.

Five miles away from the coast, more craftsmen were building barracks.

This will become the naval transit base at sea.

Looking at everything in front of them, Yang He and Zhou Yi felt a little emotional.

I think back then, the Zhang family in Yan County gave the prince a lot of headaches.

Now, they were able to occupy an island and force Goryeo to trade with Yanzhou.

"Zhou Yi, I'll leave this to you. When we return to Yanzhou, I will find a way to pester His Highness and let him spend some time developing new commercial goods." Yang He said as he walked towards a merchant ship on the seaside.

They have a clear division of labor. Zhou Yi's Black Shark Pirates is the thug, and he conquers the market.

Zhou Yi nodded and bowed his hand to Yang He.

After a while, Yang He's boat slowly left.

Zhou Yi looked at it for a while, then turned his attention to the three departing Korean merchant ships.

These merchant ships were loaded with goods procured from the island.

He believed that these goods would definitely cause a sensation after arriving in Goryeo.

One day later, the three merchant ships arrived at Nanpu Pier.

After it was destroyed by the Black Shark pirates, many craftsmen came here to rebuild it.

However, the merchant ship did not stay at the dock for too long, and went directly along the Nanpu River to the Koryo Royal Castle and Yangcheng.

When boxes of glass bottles of wine and perfume were unloaded from merchant ships, they immediately caused a sensation.

In the eyes of everyone with envy, Yin Zhengqi, the owner of the three merchant ships, ordered his servant to go straight to Zuo Yizheng Yin Boming's mansion with a box of fine wine and a box of perfume.

He is a distant relative of Yin Boming and relies on Yin Boming's connections to run several shops in Rangcheng.

Originally, Yin Boming asked him to go to Treasure Island in order to deal with the Black Shark pirates.

Unexpectedly, Treasure Island was really Treasure Island, allowing him to buy such amazing goods.

"Sir, these are the goods of the Black Shark pirates. They are so ingenious. If it hadn't been for your help this time, I would never have had the chance to see them." Yin Zhengqi asked his servant to unfold the box in front of Yin Boming.

When Yin Boming heard about the Black Shark pirates' goods, he was a little dismissive, but when the full contents of the box were revealed, he was immediately stunned.

Yin Zhengqi took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass for Yin Boming, and brought it to him, "Sir, this wine is not only beautiful to look at, but the taste is unparalleled in the world."

"Really?" Although Yin Boming said this, he smelled the strong aroma of wine and couldn't help but take a sip.

For a moment, his eyes glazed over, and then he let out an exclamation of "tsk".

Looking at the wine in the box, his eyes sparkled, "It's really a good thing. If the Black Shark Pirates had taken it out earlier, there would be no need to fight this battle."

After saying that, he and Yin Zhengqi laughed.

Immediately, Yin Zhengqi introduced perfume, soap, mirror and other items, which caused Mrs. Yin Boming and the concubine to scream.

There was a commotion in the mansion because of this novel product.

Yin Boming suddenly remembered something and slapped his head, "Quickly, take these things and follow me to see the king."

Yin Zhengqi understood and immediately ordered his servants to carry many goods to the palace.

the next day.

Some rumors spread from the palace maid's mouth to every corner of Yangcheng.

Yin Boming offered the immortal brew, and the king became extremely drunk.

The concubines in the palace were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night because they were arguing over perfume, mirrors and other items.

All the troubles in Rangcheng are known to everyone.

Immediately, news came that these were goods bought by merchants from Treasure Island.

The nobles of Liangcheng immediately thought of the merchant ships that arrived in Liangcheng yesterday.

Naturally, they also want to own goods that can make the king and the concubines in the palace unable to control themselves.

And more merchants sensed business opportunities, and they rented merchant ships to go to Treasure Island.

For a time, Treasure Island became extremely noisy and lively, with frequent trade exchanges.

…

Yanzhou.

Zhao Xu stayed in Yanguan for two days and then returned to Yancheng.

On the second day of his arrival, Yang He also came back and reported to him the situation of Treasure Island.

A few days later, the news of the booming trade on Treasure Island was brought back by the merchants of Black Shark Trading Company.

Both Zhao Xu and Yang He breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, this was all within their expectations.

The people of Dasong could not refuse the goods from Yanzhou, and neither could the people of Korea.

"The trade of Treasure Island is secure, now it's time to focus on cleaning up Beidi." In the study, Zhao Xu looked at the Ningjin Dusi map and shook his fist.

The poisonous snake of Beidi was lying on the north side of Yanzhou, which really made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

Over the next two months.

Zhao Xu continued to let Liu Fu and Chang Wei create the illusion of a plague.

At the same time, the pits where the corpses were buried were excavated, which shows that the people of Yanzhou died heavily due to the plague.

Time passed from March to June of the 24th year of Taihe.

On June 12, Tsui Hark sent information about the changes in Beidi.
