Half the size of a palm-sized jade pendant was held in my hand, and I felt it was warm and smooth, and it was obvious that it was expensive.

Looking at the big ships below, I felt quite itchy. After saying a few more words, I happily bid farewell to the uncle and ran away quickly.

The uncle was also free and easy, and didn't care about my eagerness to receive the big ship, but just told me to find him when I went to Bianliang.

There are several people from the Song Dynasty who are similar to those in charge of the affairs here, who respectfully took us onto the boat.

Hongdu, Dorao and Haneda Katsushika had a very profound understanding of the ship, so when they arrived, they walked under the cabin. The most important thing about a ship was to construct the keel of the entire ship, and the quality of the materials, the perfection of the splicing and nailing, and every link was all important factors that could affect the ship.

With the help of some old sailors on the boat, they tapped carefully, and after checking, they finally finished checking a ship after half an hour. The three uncles smiled at me and nodded.

Each large ship costs 50,000 taels of gold, which is absolutely not possible if we are not serious, so it took us three hours to thoroughly check from the inside out to confirm the quality of the ship.

"It is worthy of being the best ship of Jiangnan Shipyard in the Song Dynasty!" Haneda Katsutaku sighed: "Compared to our 'Bahuang', the materials are better, the craftsmanship is more detailed and perfect. Although it has been used for a while, it is still the same as new. Each ship is loaded with one million kilograms of cargo, which is more than enough, so there is no need to worry about insufficient load capacity."

"Yes, I saw it too. I originally thought that our shipbuilding skills were better than those in the East. As a result, after seeing these big ships from the Jiangnan Shipyard in the Song Dynasty, I realized that it was indeed a mysterious country that produces exquisite porcelain, silk and tea. The craftsmanship and ability of this shipbuilding are much stronger than ours!" Uncle Dorao also sighed sincerely.

"There is another point..." Uncle Hongdu lowered his voice. "Master Bao, they took me to the cabin of one of the ships. There were a thousand sets of high-quality armor, big swords, spears and bows, all produced by the official manufacturing department of the Song Dynasty, and they were very sophisticated. They said they gave it to us by their Lord."

"Uncle Zhao is such a big deal! It's so good!" I couldn't stop smiling, "Next time I'll bring him some more fine wine!"

The weapons of the Song Dynasty were originally the best, and they were much better than those of the Liao Kingdom, so they were very expensive. Usually, a neat set of soldiers and weapons cost at least ten taels of gold. Uncle Zhao waved his hand and gave me 10,000 taels of gold. Obviously, he knew that we were in danger on the island. We used it to defend ourselves.

In joy, I immediately ordered 250,000 taels of gold and handed it to the managers.

The managers had seen the world, but they compared and checked the golden tickets from the Jiangnan Money House, and then left with their fists.

Regarding my request to keep the ship here temporarily, they also discussed it and nodded in agreement. Because these people also saw their kind attitude towards me just now and would not make things difficult for these trivial matters.

But in a blink of an eye, I used almost 750,000 taels of gold, and I worked hard to earn more than half of the money I went there.

It made me feel very moved.

Money is not easy to make, but it always costs money like flowing water!

I just hope that my family’s business is like the poem by the Immortal Poetry, “There will be a return after all the money is spent.” The more I spend now, the more I earn in the future!

...

I spent a total of 250,000 taels of gold to buy five big ships from the uncle, and they were top ships from the Jiangnan Shipyard of the Song Dynasty. Each ship had a load of one million kilograms, which was more than enough. In this way, we could buy more things from home than we had previously calculated.

I just happened to have enough money now, and I feel a little sorry for myself if I don’t buy some cheap things to go home.

Not counting the tea and cloth I bought at the beginning, in addition to the newly purchased two million kilograms of coarse iron, one million kilograms of tung oil, 100,000 kilograms of various seeds, tools and other debris, as well as daily necessities, the space for people to ride in and stay, there is a total capacity of 3.5 million kilograms.

When it is not absolutely necessary, each ship naturally has to leave some spare space. For example, we left the paddle room and lounge space for the two big ships before, and the rest of the ship is the same. So if you load three million kilograms of grain brewed wine, don’t think about buying any big things anymore.

Although Fujiwara Izumi's character is not quite satisfactory, she is still capable enough to do things.

When our handover was completed, he came with two million kilograms of wine and asked the navy soldiers to check hundreds of jars at will, but no problems were found.

"You are insulting my business personality!"

Fujiwara Izumi was a little dissatisfied with this, but when he got the 56,000 taels of gold tickets to buy alcohol and the remaining 9,000 taels of gold for buying a boat, his face was about to laugh.

I heard that I still need a million kilogram of alcohol, but he didn't say anything. Before the teachers I was looking for were unloading the goods, he took his subordinates to run back into the market.

Taking advantage of this time, we asked Mintaro to find the Master's gang that helped transport cloth and tea two days ago, and moved the tung oil and crude iron to a new large ship.

We did not come forward in all the process, but changed the navy soldiers who did not appear that day to come to the ship for inspection. The Masters were all people who worked with money. Now they have changed places and are carrying things on the ground of the Song Dynasty fleet, so they would not deliberately pay attention to these details.

I stood far away and watched the workers who were transporting the goods belonging to our Sanguo Village, one bucket and one truckload of cargo onto the ship, and I felt an indescribable satisfaction in my heart.

"Brother Bao, Kou Zhong is all here." Tang Benjixiu said softly in my ear.

I looked back and saw that the thin Kou Zhongquan was walking quickly not far away. He still had a gentle smile on his face, but when he walked closer, his smile was a little closer than the day before yesterday, and a little less proud.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty generally looked down on people from other countries, and they are indeed the richest and most powerful merchants in the world, so not only will people not be disgusted, but will instead curry favor with them, which makes them even more arrogant.

Although Kou Zhongquan's attitude was very good the day before yesterday, because my father was from the Song Dynasty, he was not as kind as today.

"Haha, I said, I saw that I was carrying things here from afar. It turned out that Brother Bao was busy." Kou Zhongquan came to me and bowed: "I heard that Brother Bao had great magical powers and actually reached an agreement with the Eight Sages Palace to buy five of their big ships. He is really a hero-born boy."

"Mr. Kou is polite. He is just Uncle Zhao from the Eight Virtues Palace. He saw that our Song Dynasty people worked hard in a foreign country, so he had pity for us and sold us a few big ships to defend ourselves." I smiled in a harmonious voice, "Actually, if it weren't for Mr. Kou's inconvenience, I wanted to buy a few Mr. Kou's ships, which were about the same size."

"Brother Bao, call me Brother Kou!" Hearing the word "Uncle Zhao", Kou Zhongquan's smile became even better. "You can't speak like that. The ships in the Baxian Prince's Mansion were all built by the top craftsmen of the Jiangnan Shipyard. Our ships were amazingly built by ordinary craftsmen of the Jiangnan Shipyard. This has to be related to my master! Most of the Jiangnan Shipyards are just military ships, and they don't pay attention to ordinary merchant ships!"

"So, are their quality very good?"

"Of course! They are absolutely first-class in terms of quality and craftsmanship, and there is no problem in sailing the sea. If you exchange my two ships, you can't exchange them for one!" Kou Zhongquan said seriously: "Brother Bao, you have to stay here for two days. One ship is sold to merchants from Japan or Liao Kingdom. A ship is priced at a price of 100,000 taels of gold, and you must buy it for you immediately!"

When I heard this, I burst into laughter. I used to think that 50,000 taels of gold was expensive. Now, looking at Kou Zhongquan's envious look, I suddenly felt that it was worth it.

As for selling it to others, I will never sell it. My family still lacks ships. Such five first-class ships are just used to supplement the strength of our Three Kingdoms Navy.

What a pity, the uncle wouldn't sell me too much ship, otherwise he would only sell me twenty such big ships. After Baye trained a skilled sergeant, we could sweep around the island of Essay and defeat the Hatan Army and the Tsuga Army, and the water flowing!

Kou Zhongquan continued: "Brother Bao is better for good luck. This General Manager Zhao is said to be a distant relative of the Eight Sages. He is a real noble with a little royal bloodline! Although the masters in our mansion are also court officials, there is a big gap compared with others. I can only go and see you!"

I smiled, "You are all from the Song Dynasty, so you naturally have to pay attention to some concepts of hierarchy. I am an overseas person, so the uncle naturally needs to take care of him."

"That's...hehe...huh?"

Kou Zhongquan suddenly paused and looked at the jade pendant hanging around my waist in horror: "Brother Bao, this is..."

Looking through his eyes, I casually said, "Oh, this is a gift from the uncle. I said that when I go to Bianjing next time, I will take this to the Eight Xian Prince's Mansion to find him."

Kou Zhongquan held my hand in an instant: "Brother Bao, next time you come to Bianliang, don't forget me, brother. Lord Zhao is busy with affairs, brother, I'm fine. You can just come to Kou's mansion in Tiejing Hutong to find me. Let me tell you, there are so many fun things in Bianliang, there are endless delicious foods, there are Tianqiao artists playing tricks, there are opera singers singing songs, and countless beauties singing and dancing..."

He nagged for a long time, and his expression was really sincere. I'm afraid that this is the case for his real brother. (To be continued...)
