Siyang Trading Company has already had arrangements in Keppel Port.
When shipments of goods arrive, frantic selling begins.
Among them, silk and porcelain are not the ones that really caused a stir.
It¡¯s cotton.
This kind of cotton cloth has good texture and beautiful colors. What¡¯s more, its price is also low.
Such high-quality and low-price products soon attracted businessmen from all over the world to flock to them.
¡°In this world, anything that can be mass-produced in workshops has a huge advantage over anything that craftsmen produce over a long period of time.
Businessmen from all over the world are targeting this cotton cloth.
Because for businessmen, in addition to being of high quality and low price, there is another reason why they are worthy of purchasing in large quantities.
That means stable supply.
Many merchants also sell cloth.
But at this time, the West, like the Ming Dynasty, was almost at the stage where men farmed and women weaved.
If merchants want to do cloth business, they first need to purchase cloth.
Although the price they purchased from ordinary people was much cheaper, it was even much lower than the cotton shipped from the Ming Dynasty. Butthe supply of goods is very scattered. Today, you may have to go hundreds of miles away, and tomorrow you may have to go to another town or village, or even door-to-door to purchase. It can be said to be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost of transportation is extremely high.
But it¡¯s different at Keppel Seaport. He has as much cloth as you want. A steady stream of cloth is delivered to the seaport, directly enters the warehouse, and is then directly delivered to various merchants according to orders.
In this way, time and effort are saved, and the supply of goods is sufficient.
The Siyang Trading Company is now overcrowded, with merchants from all over the place.
People spoke various languages ??and waved their own currencies.
In order to facilitate settlement, Siyang Commercial Bank has put up a sign and roughly determined the prices of currencies of various countries. Merchants from various countries only need to bring their own currencies to order.
The currencies of various Western countries are different, some are gold, some are silver, but the coins are the same. Starting from the Qin Dynasty, the central dynasty has had a profound influence here, whether it is Siam or the real Wa, or countries such as Malacca, their monetary unit is also a "strain", which is made of bronze or iron and is made of copper coins with a round outside and a square inside.
As for gold and silver, most of them are smelted into ingots.
Every currency has a different value.
"The Siyang Trading Company accepted the order in full."
??Previously, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s trading system for various countries was tribute.
That is to say, each country paid tribute with its own special products, such as spices and rhinoceros horns. After that, the Ming court gave silks, porcelain and other items.
This is almost equivalent to bartering.
When the Siyang Trading Company began formal trade, because the rules had not yet been established, the two parties still adopted the method of bartering.
This makes the transaction cost extremely high. Of course, there is no way around it.
But now it¡¯s better.
The enthusiasm of the merchants was extremely high.
Siyang Trading Company has already arranged many clerks here. These clerks are proficient in various languages. When merchants come, they are invited into small cubicles, pour tea and water for them, and then accept the inquiry and pay the deposit.
Coins from various countries began to be recorded in accounts like crazy.
Behind the scenes, Liu Huan, the shopkeeper of Siyang Trading Company in Keppel Harbor, was scared to death.
He looked at the accounts intently. Needless to say, the business was really good.
"There are many products from the Ming Dynasty that you can't find the same ones in the world. It's no wonder they don't sell well.
But the problem lies in the money that is recorded in the account.
Although all countries use ingots and coins with an outer circle and an inner square, in fact the smelting level and money-making level of each country are different.
He held a Siamese copper coin in his hands, and couldn't help but smile bitterly with his lips that were pressed tightly just now.
because¡¡
This thing God knows how much copper it contains.
Nine times out of ten, it is lower than the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty.
But once this thing accumulates, there will be a lot of copper missing.
And their gold and silver ingots, the gold and silver content are also very questionable.
His eyebrows were deeply knitted, so he looked for Liu Jin worriedly.
When Liu Jin heard this, his face immediately turned pale.?It's really scary. "The king couldn't help but said, his brows furrowed deeper.
He rubbed the fabric repeatedly with his hands, his eyes flickering.
¡°Not only that, there are many treasures. In addition to fabrics, there are also glasses, which are worn on the eyes, there are also big clocks that can tell the time, there are four-wheeled carriages and horses, and"
Bearded Duolou named many products in succession.
These things are unique to the Ming Dynasty and have never been heard of in Zhenla.
The king¡¯s face looked a little ugly and he said, ¡°What suggestions do you have for this?¡±
"Your Majesty, I heard something."
"Um?"
"Many merchants went to Kebao Port one after another, bringing countless treasures to our country by boat, and then by river boat, entering our country's capital. I believe that this is irreversible. However Ming Dynasty seems to be more For good business, they recognize our country¡¯s currency and accept all our gold, silver and coins as ordered.¡±
The king was a very smart young man, and he immediately realized what Beard Duolou meant.
He said: "If this continues, we will probably run out of money?"
"Yes. I think we should step up our efforts to mint money to be prepared."
The king couldn't help but worry again.
How can we step up the process of making money?
Everyone knows that making money is to increase one's wealth, but gold, silver, and copper are limited.
Beard Duo Lou took a deep look at the king, showed his cunning, and said: "Actually I asked the merchants to take the copper coins from the Angkor period to buy goods, and the Ming Dynasty also recognized the copper coins from the Angkor period. "
This time, the king¡¯s eyes lit up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
