Chapter 190 Inventory 1

Although if the sea wolf sells grain to Jiannu, it will make a very high profit. Now the price of Jiannu's purchase of grain has reached more than a dozen pieces of silver, and the grain is transported from the south to Liaodong by sea. One stone of grain can earn at least ten taels of silver. This ship has put 100 tons of grain. Guy can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

However, Yu Xiaotian strictly ordered his subordinates in charge of this matter not to sell a grain to Jiannu, but only to sell tea, salt and other commodities to Jiannu.

Jiannu himself does not know how to make salt, and the weather there is very cold, and the cost of boiling salt is also very high, so the salt they eat mainly depends on imports, so salt is also a commodity they need very much.

Although Jiannu does not consume much tea, their allies, the Mongolian ministries, need the two kinds of salt tea. After Jiannu gets the salt tea and sells it to the Mongolian departments, he can make a lot of profits, so these two commodities are still very popular with Jiannu.

However, Jiannu does not need things such as glassware and soap soap, which are still luxury goods at present. The number of their nobles is limited, and even if they want them, they only need a very small amount. In addition, in order to solve the problem of eating, Huang Taiji strictly orders not to import luxury goods for personal enjoyment, so these sea wolves's fist products On the contrary, among the items traded with Jiannu, it became chicken ribs.

However, things such as some daily ceramics are still relatively popular. In order to further open up trade channels and make more profits from Jiannu, Yu Xiaotian considered repeatedly and finally approved the export of a small amount of Indian cotton cloth or Songjiang cloth currently unsalable in the south to Jiannu.

Jiannu is in the cold Liaodong, but he is still quite welcome for things like cotton cloth. As a part of this, the trade between the two sides is immediately in full swing. There are often ships coming from the south to stop in the Denglai area, and then continue to sail north to the east of Liaoning to trade with Jiannu. .

However, in exchange, it is not realistic to let Jiannu take all the real money to buy these things, because Jiannu does not have so much cash money on hand, so the two sides finally agreed that Jiannu will give part of the cash to buy materials, and the rest of the goods will use some iron ingots and Liaodong specialties of tiger bones and deer antlers. Ginseng, Korean ginseng, mink and other local specialties are exchanged. In terms of price, the price agreed by Jiannu is not high.

There is a great demand for drugs such as ginseng. In the whole pharmaceutical industry in the south, ginseng is basically priceless. The price of a catty of ginseng is as high as 100 taels of silver, so it is difficult to find.

However, the price agreed by Sea Wolf and Jiannu, a catty of ginseng, is only seven taels of silver. After being shipped back to the south, it can immediately earn more than ten times the profit.

Therefore, this kind of trade is also very cost-effective for the sea wolf. In addition, the sea wolf traders also proposed that they can exchange raw food for two Han slaves from Jiannu. For such a request, Jiannu Huang Taiji considered it over and over again, and finally agreed.

Every time Jiannu enters the customs, they will abw a large number of people, and most of them are women and young and strong men. They are all good workers. However, because of the lack of food outside the customs, the quality of life of these slaves who have been taken out of the customs is extremely poor. It is not easy for Jiannu to feed them. Even if they are given the worst food, at least they must It must be something you can eat.

Therefore, Jiannu does not care much about exchanging population for salt, tea, cotton and other things, so the two sides also reached an agreement in this regard. Every month, Jiannu will provide hundreds of births to sea wolf personnel trade in the past, and then be transported back to Denglai or Jeju Island by sea wolves. Placement.

When these exchanged slaves set foot on their hometown again, many people cried loudly. Outside the gate, they were regarded as slaves who were not as good as pigs and dogs. They didn't even eat as good as dogs, not even pigs, not to mention that they wore them. The settlement of quail clothes was good, and many people were in the cold. Below, he even doesn't cover his body.

Now after being replaced by the sea wolf, although they are still slaves, everyone has got new clothes and can be warm. Although they still eat miscellaneous grain cakes, they are better in the sky than when they were outside the gate. Until this time, many people still feel like a dream and dare not I believe it's true.

Even if they were slaves to the new masters of the sea wolf, it was a thousand times better than to be slaves to the Jiannu, so when they were brought back, they were grateful to the new masters of the sea wolf and behaved extremely obediently.

These people are regarded by Yu Xiaotian as the seeds of the future counterattack on Liaodong. Everyone here has a grudge against Jiannu. As long as they are well taken care of and trained into an army in the future, when they go out to attack Jiannu, these people will never show mercy.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian specially approved the establishment of a new barracks on Jeju Island, which is responsible for collecting these Liaodong Han people gathered from outside the customs and Shandong, and training them into a northern army, waiting for the future to be put into the northern battlefield.

I'm afraid that Jiannu would never have thought that these slaves who traded with the sea wolf and handed over to the sea wolf would become their gravediggers in the future. If Huang Taiji knew that Yu Xiaotian had made such a plan, I'm afraid he would not have done such a deal with the sea wolf if he killed him.

Of course, doing business with Jiannu is not smooth sailing. Many of the powerful and powerful among Jiannu are quite arrogant and vicious. Many Han businessmen who used to do business with them have shipped goods outside the customs. Many people's goods have been embezzled by these powerful Jiannu, making a lot of people unable to return, and even kill people. Everything is normal.

So at the beginning, ships that traded in the past also encountered some difficulties from Jiannu, and even tried to rob ships and goods.

The sea wolf's cargo ship is not vegetarian. The people on the ship are all naval reserves. The ship is equipped with a lot of small-sized artillery, and a lot of armed*.

When this happens, the captain of the ship will not sit and wait for death. Even if he orders to fire, the ship's guns will be fired, and he will knock over the slaves who tried to coax the ship's cargo and leave their bodies on the ground.

Jiannu immediately learned to be obedient. He knew that the sea wolf could not be provoked. His hands were sharp and he wanted to take advantage of them at the price of blood. In addition, after the accident, Jiannu Emperor Taiji immediately sent someone to investigate when he heard the news. When he learned that it was their people were plotting, he was suddenly furious.

Finally, a group of sea wolves are willing to do business with them, but some people want to seek personal gain. If they don't do so, it will cut off the business road, so Huang Taiji immediately ordered several guys to behead, which can be regarded as a complete suppression of those ships trying to plot against sea wolves. An unfaithful slave.

And since this incident, Huang Taiji has ordered the slave army stationed at various trade points to protect the ships of the sea wolf and provide support to the ships of the sea wolf. It's good for the personnel on the ships of the sea wolf.

Although this trade route is nothing for Xiaotian, the profits he earns are nothing in the profits he earns every year, but it also makes Yu Xiaotian initially build an intelligence network in Liaodong, which can more or less collect some of Jiannu's information.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Jiannu broke through the customs and went south to the capital to attack and plunder. To some extent, it had something to do with the trade of sea wolves. In order to exchange more materials from sea wolves, they had insufficient silver on hand. In addition, the number of people available for trading was not large, so they could only find a way to rob the Ming Dynasty.

This prompted Jiannu to send troops to break through the customs as soon as Emperor Taiji ascended the throne in the ninth year of Chongzhen and rushed into the customs and looted it.

In this year, Jiannu entered the customs and stole more than 100,000 people in the capital area. In addition, there are all kinds of goods. If it is converted into silver, there are more than 700,000 taels of silver.

Under such circumstances, although the impeachment of Xiaotian between the government and the opposition is high, Chongzhen is now worried about being made by the slaves and the exile army, and has no energy to think about how to deal with Xiaotian, so this matter has been dragged down.

When Chongzhen's ten years came, Yu Xiaotian conducted a statistics on the strength of his opponent. At present, the strength of the three major naval fleets of Yu's army has reached more than 20,000, and there are more than 300 medium and large warships. In addition to various fast light sailboats such as anti-smuggling ships and plundering ships, as well as maritime responsibility at sea. The number of fishing supervision fastboats that monitor the collection of fish farms is as high as nearly 1,000.

Nowadays, the first fleet of the sea wolf has been officially renamed as the Northern Fleet. Under the order of Xiaotian, it has moved the fleet to Fushan, that is, the later Qingdao Port, and has truly formed control over the northern coast. The area of responsibility includes the whole Shandong coast and the Bohai Sea. The bay area, from * to the sea area of Jeju Island, is under the control of the Northern Fleet, and they will deal with it.

The second fleet is responsible for the coastal areas of Fujian, Zhejiang and Nanzhili. The home port of the fleet is still in Weitou Bay for the time being, but it actually controls the Dongtou Islands outside the coast of Wenzhou Prefecture, where a detachment is stationed to control the coast of Zhejiang based on the Dongtou Islands.

In addition, the Zhoushan Islands outside Hangzhou Bay have also been actually controlled by the army, which used to be a gathering place for pirates and smuggling in Zhejiang. There are many pirate nests on the island, and there is also a spontaneous black market, which is completely not under the control of the land government.

So a few years ago, Yu Xiaotian instructed the navy to begin to infiltrate there. Soon, in the name of a pirate, he rose in the local area, quickly killed a large number of local pirates, integrated various forces there, and then controlled the whole Zhoushan Islands in the hands of sea wolves until After finishing control over there, some people knew that the newly rising pirates over there turned out to be sea wolves, but it was too late.
