…

After Zhao Yu and his fleet left Xinzhou Port, they followed the route that Lao Zheng took back then and headed south.

The tea, porcelain and silk produced in the Central Plains are rare items that only the top nobles can enjoy in the countries along the way.

But what made Zhao Yu frown was that every time he went to a place, the local gentry and officials heard that they were ships from the Eastern Kingdom, and their first reaction was actually not much different from that of Mo Sang who occupied the city.

Get some worthless souvenirs, and then shamelessly wait until you give them the things on the treasure ship for free.

Of course, they must be disappointed this time.

In their impression, those Easterners, who were so generous as to be somewhat heartless, seemed to have become treacherous.

Not only was there no free gift in return, but after the transaction, various means were used to search for some rare local items.

Along the way, all the silk and other items on the seven or eight treasure ships had been exchanged by Zhao Yu for silver and golden gold coins.

Everyone admired Zhao Yu, especially the heads of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, who were even more shocked by Zhao Yu.

When people do business, they come up to see the goods first, and then discuss the price.

It would be better for my prince to first move ashore the porcelain that was damaged by the wind and waves on the treasure ship and offer a relatively reasonable price.

Businessmen are seeking profit, so they will naturally start bargaining with each other.

At this time, Zhao Yu ordered people not only to not negotiate the price, but to keep raising the price. However, every time the price was raised, the Jin Yiwei's retinue would sell the porcelain with small flaws and bumps in front of the foreign barbarians.

Broken.

These things are all high-quality products in the Central Plains, and ordinary wealthy people cannot afford them, let alone this barbaric land.

Seeing pieces of exquisite porcelain turned into pieces, before the bookkeepers could feel distressed, the barbarians couldn't bear it anymore.

This also caused the price of the goods on the treasure ship to skyrocket, selling for dozens of times the sky-high price.

Even the porcelain that he broke into pieces, Zhao Yu sold at the price of fifty taels of silver per pound of broken porcelain!

"Master Chitose, there is a Sumen noble who says that there is not enough silver and gold coins, and he wants to trade spices and gems. You see..."

In Sumen Port, Zhao Yuduan was sitting on a deck chair, lazily blowing the sea breeze and sunbathing. At this time, a boss came forward and asked in a low voice.

"gem?"

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at the person in charge, waved his hand and said: "Don't talk to me about useless things. I only recognize gold and silver here. If you don't have money, go somewhere to cool off!"

"clear!"

The principal bowed slightly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the docked treasure ship.

At this time, another principal came forward and came to Zhao Yu.

"Master Chitose, the silver and gold coins we collected are many times more than the heavy cargo. If this continues, the treasure ship may not be able to carry it..."

The principal wrinkled his face and whispered in front of Zhao Yu.

It's no wonder that Zhao Yu has a dark heart in business. A piece of Shu Brocade can be exchanged for dozens of times the amount of silver and gold coins.

After all, gold and silver are much heavier. If this ratio is followed, the draft of the treasure ship will definitely be tight. Once it encounters wind and waves, it will be in trouble.

"Next, should we lower the price of the goods a little bit, so that..."

"You loser!"

Without waiting for the principal to finish speaking, Zhao Yu stood up directly and scolded the principal with a sneer on his face.

No one who bought it thought it was expensive, but he, the seller, couldn't bear it at first. He said it and made people laugh out loud?

Zhao Yu turned around and walked in the direction of the treasure ship without any explanation.

The treasure ship cannot hold all this wealth, but don't forget, there is still a bug on him!

Zhao Yu boarded the ship and entered the inner vault of a treasure ship. When he saw the mountains of gold coins and silver, his expression became somewhat numb.

Until this moment, Zhao Yu really believed that even this gold would cause aesthetic fatigue after looking at it for a long time.

He raised his right hand slightly, and his palm brushed against boxes of wooden boxes filled with gold coins and silver. The next moment, these boxes mysteriously disappeared into the inner vault.

When Zhao Yu walked out of the inner warehouse, more than half of the wooden boxes containing gold and silver were missing.

…

Originally, Zhao Yu planned to follow Lao Zheng's route for this voyage, going all the way to Nanwuli and then back.

But before Aru could wait, the cargo on more than thirty treasure ships was already empty.

As a last resort, Zhao Yu could only return with the treasure ship. Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but give himself a slap in the face!

When loading the cargo, why didn't you think of the loophole in the system backpack?

Soon, the treasure ship returned all the way along the route it came from.

More than ten days later, the fleet sailed through Xinzhou Port and was about to land on the border of the new dynasty. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Qiantose, there are water pirate ships dozens of miles ahead!"

In the cabin, Zhao Yu was checking the amount of this transaction with the principals. A messenger came into the cabin and reported back.

Water pirates?!

Hearing these two words, Zhao Yu didn't have any obvious expression. Did they encounter many water bandits along the way?

But those in charge, who were obviously civil servants, immediately had their eyes gleaming after hearing these two words.

Subconsciously, they put their hands on the sides of their waists, because there were the muskets assigned to the fleet by the commander of the army!

"well……"

Looking at the officers with murderous looks and eagerness to try, Zhao Yu sighed helplessly and took the lead to walk out of the cabin.

The principals scrambled to follow Zhao Yu and walked towards the front boat.

"Chitose, something is wrong!"

At the bow of the ship, An Jianqing turned around with a stern expression and handed the clairvoyant in his hand to Zhao Yu.

Um?

Looking at An Jianqing's expression, Zhao Yu also frowned.

This place is already regarded as the territory of the new dynasty, and even water pirates have seen a lot along the way. An Jianqing shouldn't have such an expression, right?

Zhao Yu, who had some doubts in his heart, took the monocular telescope and looked in the direction An Jianqing pointed.

On the wide water, a large ship was parked on the sea. Because it was a bit far away, it was difficult to see what was going on on the ship.
