Ming Zuo

Chapter 622 Exchange Rates
Chonghua once thought that North Korea was poor, and it would be difficult to pay for the goods.

Maybe bartering is the way to go.

It never occurred to me that the things that North Korea used to exchange were actually people.

Live people!
This was completely beyond his cognition, which made him hesitate.

Noticing his expression, Quan Li became anxious.

"Lord Chong, these are untouchables. Even if they stay in North Korea, they will starve to death. Their parents sold them, and it is a great gift for them to go to the country to make a living."

Chong Hua was terrified, it was the first time he saw someone who took human life so seriously.

He knows the situation in North Korea very well, and he knows that what Quan Li said is not wrong.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, countless Koreans have come to the Ming Dynasty to make a living.Being a slave is better than staying in North Korea to starve to death.

Therefore, North Korean officials have no psychological burden on trafficking people to Ming Dynasty.

But Chonghua was not so easy to accept.

Because he is not sure whether Shandong can allow this method.

Seeing that he was silent, Quan Li gritted his teeth and decided to increase the weight.

"The matter has come to this point. If the adults cannot accept their words, they will only have a dead end. It is absolutely impossible to transport them back to land, so as not to leak the secrets."

This is murder.

Chonghua looked over and hated the North Korean general from the bottom of his heart.

If it wasn't for the cooperation, he really wanted to punish this guy who treats human life like nothing.

Look at those North Korean women who were captured, all of them were sallow, emaciated, and weak.

Obviously, if he didn't accept it, even if Quan Li didn't kill people, these women might starve to death.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly thought of a way.

"These people are handed over to me."

Seeing that he accepted, Quan Li was overjoyed and quickly ordered the North Korean soldiers to escort these women over one by one.

Those North Korean women know that they have been sold.As for their future, the future is uncertain.

Under extreme fear, these women cried loudly.But their thin bodies made them unable to struggle, so they could only look back to the land in despair while being pushed onto the boat.

That's the direction of the hometown.

I'm afraid they will never go back in this life.

After completing the delivery, Chonghua was no longer willing to get along with Quanli, so he bid farewell immediately.

Quan Li didn't care about these things, he got the exquisite goods delivered from Shandong, and what he saw was about to turn into innumerable wealth, which already made him return to his heart.

Seeing the North Koreans leave, Chonghua's subordinates couldn't bear it anymore.

"Minister, I'm afraid the higher-ups will blame me for trafficking people without asking for instructions."

Chong Hua shook his head and said his plan.

"First send these women to Jeju Island to settle down, and then send someone back to ask for instructions. If the superiors allow them, they will be transported back to Shandong. If the superiors do not allow them, then they will be assigned to the Korean rebels on Jeju Island. Those Korean soldiers have become their families. , the mind will be completely stable, and will be more willing to obey orders."

The subordinate's eyes lit up, knowing that this method was foolproof.

Immediately, the three ships left the team and returned directly.

Chonghua led the fleet to Tsushima Island.

Tsushima Fan paid more attention to transactions, and Zong Yicheng came in person.

"Minister Chong, when will the next shipment be delivered?"

Chonghua was puzzled.

The delivery of the goods has not been completed yet, and the workers on both sides are rushing back and forth to unload the goods.

Why is Zongyi so successful that he looks forward to Shu, thinking about the next thing?

"Why is the daimyo so eager?"

Zong Yicheng's eyes were shining with golden light, and his greed was not concealed.

"Minister Chong doesn't know that the goods have already been divided up. Dongying's country is eager to see through, and there is really a lot to do!"

Chonghua was really taken aback, he didn't expect Shandong's products to be so popular.

How did he know that Dongpu is now locked in the country.It is an island country again, and its supplies are already very poor.In addition, Shandong's products are exquisite and high-quality, so they are naturally very popular in Dongying.

Since the market demand is so, Chonghua can't turn a blind eye, don't want the market, don't want to make money.

"Not surprisingly, the next batch of goods will be delivered within three months."

Zong Yicheng was extremely satisfied with this answer.

With today's shipping and ship speed, it is absolutely amazing to be able to guarantee a cargo transaction every three months.

Compared with North Korea, Japan needs a larger quantity of goods, so delivery is also very troublesome.

In addition, the place where the goods are traded is in the outskirts of the wilderness, without any tools to help, it is unloaded purely by manpower.It took two full days and two nights for the goods to be completely delivered.

However, compared with the North Korean side, the delivery of the payment for the Tsushima Fan is much more enjoyable.

I saw crates of silver being carried onto the ship, and everyone in Shandong was beaming with joy.

No one dislikes making money.

Zongyi also arranged a banquet in order to entertain Chonghua and celebrate his first successful trade.But Chonghua wanted to go north to Sakhalin Island, and he was very concerned about the situation there, so he politely refused.

The fleet left Tsushima and headed north.

The subordinate ran over with suspicion and nervousness on his face.

"Minister, the amount of silver is wrong."

Chonghua was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How much is missing?"

The subordinate shook his head.

"It's not less, but much more."

"Ok?"

Chonghua was puzzled.

"Why are there so many more?"

The subordinate patiently explained.

"The total price of the goods we provided to the Tsushima Fan was about [-] taels. But the silver delivered to us by the Tsushima Fan was as much as one million taels."

Knowing the situation, Chonghua could not help but sit down and fell into deep thought.

What's wrong?

It would make Zong Yicheng pay so much more money.

He didn't think that Zong Yicheng would be stupid and pay so much money for no reason.

As for Zong Yicheng taking the extra silver as a gift of thanks, that is also unreasonable.

In commercial trade, if you like me, you don't need to thank me at all.

Even with normal trade, Shandong has made a lot of money and is very satisfied.

Chonghua racked his brains and went through all the knowledge he had learned.

After a full incense stick, he suddenly thought of something.

"Ah... it's the exchange rate!"

Seeing that everyone looked over because they didn't understand, Chonghua explained with a smile.

"I think the price of silver in Dongying is different from that in Ming Dynasty. We estimate the goods according to the price of silver in Ming Dynasty. But the payment to Ma Fan should be based on the price of silver in Dongying."

Those who are engaged in trade are naturally all graduates in the field of economics.Regarding the price, I also learned something.

"Is the price of silver in Dongying lower than ours in Shandong?"

Another person thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

Everyone is still discussing the difference between Daming and Dongying silver prices, but Chonghua has already begun to think about what can be done in it.

"Send another ship, go back quickly, and report the situation to the administrative committee. Let them know the silver price in Japan and make a decision."

He looked at the undulating sea and laughed.

"In the future, when this business is done, we can make money, not just the payment for goods."
