"A box of gold nuggets weighs three hundred and forty-three pounds!"

"A box of gold sand weighs two hundred and ninety-eight pounds!"

"Gold... one gold nugget weighs sixty-four pounds!"

The Weishui Pier fell into an eerie silence.

Although the box of gold sand that was poured out at the beginning gave everyone a lot of excitement.

But soon, under the pressure of Li Geng and his guards, the atmosphere on the dock calmed down.

But when people from the Shipping Department began to come to collect taxes, the atmosphere slowly began to change.

Even Fang Wei, who was in charge of recording, began to shake his hands.

This was the first time he had seen so much gold.

The most important thing is that these golds are not like those minted gold coins.

The irregular shapes of each piece have a huge impact on everyone.

Obviously, these are pure natural gold.

Where can you find so much natural gold?

What did the people from Guanshishan Academy find when they went to Nanyang?

Is this gold still available?

Countless people are thinking about various problems.

"Dali, is this...is this Nanyang really full of spices and gold?"

Not far away, Dali and Anan did not leave, but followed a group of coolies around to watch the fun.

There were petty officials from the Shipping Department there to collect taxes, and there were manpower from the ship owners there to maintain order, but no coolie dared to cause trouble again.

Things like gathering people to make trouble often don't happen at the beginning, but they don't happen later.

"I heard from our Dalang that there are islands all over Nanyang, and many places are very different from our Tang Dynasty. But I didn't hear him say that there is a lot of gold in Nanyang."

Dali looked at the boxes of gold and his eyes widened.

It’s not like these coolies have ever carried valuables before.

They even helped load and unload the ships used by the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty to transport gold and silver coins.

However, that feeling was completely different from now.

"Dali, how about... let's go to Nanyang too? We only need to go out once and we will be rich when we come back."

There was drool at the corner of Anan's mouth, and his eyes were burning.

"There are many fleets sailing to Nanyang, but apart from the fleet from Guanshishan Academy, I have never heard of anyone returning with so much gold."

Dali feels that his current job is not bad. Although he cannot make a fortune, he can still have enough food and clothing.

"Many of these people are from Guanshishan Academy. Why don't you go find your elder brother later and ask him to inquire about where they found the gold?"

Anan still didn't give up.

…

In the middle of Wuhe, Xiao Huashan and Cui Jian were enjoying the delicious food and chatting.

As the shopkeepers of the Xiao family and the Cui family in charge of overseas trade, Ping An Trading, under the leadership of the two of them, has now become one of the largest fleets in the group going to Southeast Asia.

In other words, there is a giant fishery giant from the East China Sea up there. Otherwise, Xiao Huashan and Cui Jian would have become famous all over Chang'an City.

This time, they came back from Nanyang with a large amount of spices, which made them a lot of money for their respective families.

Before going out to sea, they often meet up for dinner in Chang'an City these days, and discuss what would be better to bring to Nanyang next time they go to sea.

"Brother Xiao, I think you can bring a batch of the health pills and fairy water sold by Tongrentang Pharmacy. They are not expensive anyway. Even if you can't sell them in Nanyang, you won't lose much money."

Cui Jian knew that in those places in Nanyang, it was humid and hot, and many people had skin diseases.

Although I don’t know if the fairy water has any effect on these skin diseases, it is worth a try.

If the two cents of fairy water could cure those people's skin diseases, he would be sure to sell it for the same price per bottle, or even more.

"In the past, few people sold medicinal materials to Nanyang. Brother Cui, this is a good idea."

Xiao Huashan is also very knowledgeable. As soon as Cui Jian mentioned health pills and fairy water, he realized the benefits.

"There is also that clock. Although it is very expensive, the royal families of those foreign countries in Southeast Asia are not short of money. We will take a few of them over this time, and maybe we can exchange them for tens of thousands of dollars."

As more and more fleets sail to Southeast Asia, the profit-making nature of overseas trade has declined.

In the past, no matter what it was, it could be sold at a good price if it was transported to Nanyang.

Now it is time to make appropriate choices in order to continue to enjoy such huge profits.

Otherwise, although you will not lose money, the risks and benefits will not be so attractive.

"It's not just a clock. In fact, I think we can also consider getting four-wheeled carriages to go to Nanyang. But we need a few carpenters to follow us, dismantle the carriages for transportation, and then assemble them again after arriving in Nanyang."

The two of us added something to the list of goods going to sea.

"Although the price of spices in Chang'an City is still much higher than that in Nanyang, it has been cut in half compared to a few years ago. Brother Xiao, I think it is time to consider what is the best thing to bring back to Chang'an from Nanyang.

Cost-effective."

Cui Jian has a good vision. He has already felt that the profit margin of the spice business is declining, and he is thinking about whether there are other better businesses.

"It's so spectacular! It's so spectacular!"

At this time, Guo Yunhe came back from outside and came to Guo Dezhi while mumbling.

As the two most important storytellers in Wuheju, everyone present basically knew Guo Dezhi and his apprentice, Cui Jian and Xiao Huashan were no exception.

"What's so spectacular?"

Guo Dezhi has just finished speaking "A Dream of Red Mansions" and is now sitting there to rest.

As a result, he saw his apprentice running over in a fuss.

"Master, I have really learned a lot today. Boxes of gold nuggets and gold sand are all natural and have not been processed in any way. It is even more exaggerated than boxes of gold coins. They say that Nanyang is full of spices.

I thought there was gold too."

Guo Yunhe said with envy.

Of course, after staying well in Wuheju, he had no intention of going to Nanyang.

"What boxes of gold nuggets and gold dust?"

Guo Yunhe's words were confused, and Guo Dezhi listened in confusion.

"It's like this, Master, didn't you ask me to go everywhere every now and then to look for storytelling materials? Today I went to the Weishui Pier. As a result, I saw a spectacular scene. The Gewu Academy of Guanshishan Academy was opened last year

When I first landed in Nanyang, there was no movement for a whole year. Some people even wondered if they would never come back. But today they showed up at the Weishui pier and took boxes of gold off the ship..."

Guo Yunhe told Guo Dezhi everything he saw today.

In his opinion, this material is definitely a good material, no worse than the original Spice Island.

"Guo Yunhe, you just said that the Guanshishan Academy's Gewu Academy came back from Nanyang?"

Cui Jian and Xiao Huashan, who were dining beside Guo Yunhe, naturally heard Guo Yunhe's whirring.

As they were both sailing to Nanyang, they naturally knew about the Guanshishan Academy's Gewu Academy. Even when they were still in Puluozhong, they heard that the Gewu Academy was going to find some kind of Australia.

At that time, the two of them thought that these students were so full that they didn't want to go back to Nanyang to buy some spices, but they actually wanted to find Australia.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, I heard the news about Gewu Academy again in Wuheju today.

"Yes, when the students from Guanshishan Academy went to sea, I just happened to join in the fun and watched them leave at the Weishui Pier; I didn't expect to be able to watch them come back by such a coincidence. These students who were originally so angry are now

Their temperaments are completely different. Although their skin is dark, their spirits are very different..."

"You said they brought back a lot of gold from Nanyang?"

Cui Jian was not in the mood to listen to Guo Yunhe's nonsense and interrupted him directly.

"Yes, there is a lot of gold. It took the subordinates of the Shipping Department almost an hour to confirm the weight of the gold. You don't know that the entire Weishui Terminal was in a sensation at that time. I guess tonight's "Chang'an Evening News"

Tomorrow's "Datang Daily" will report this news."

After hearing Guo Yunhe's words, Cui Jian and Xiao Huashan couldn't help but look at each other.

Is there gold in Nanyang?

Or is it that the Gewu Academy number found some kind of Australia with gold on it?

This is very important news.

"Brother Cui, should we stop here today?"

"Okay, let's go separately and inquire about it. We will get together tomorrow and summarize the information we have learned."

…

In the Daming Palace.
