Chapter 26 Scale Clan Trade

Inviting a few relatives and friends to take a boat trip to Taijiang in the evening has become a living habit of the people of Zejun.

Whether it is taking an ordinary boat or a large pleasure boat, as long as the weather is good, there will be boats sailing slowly all night on the Taijiang River.

Many merchants look at the business on the Taijiang River and load their own goods on board to sell them to the people traveling to the river. Among them, the most merchant ships provide dishes and wine.

Order a few side dishes and ask for a pot of good wine... Several people gathered around to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the shores and water of Zejun. When they were in high spirits, the painter even painted on the spot and set off fireworks in the night sky.

The colorful light from the sky is reflected in the water, which is very beautiful.

No matter how happy you are, you can invite flower boats to come and go, order a few songs or let the girl get on the boat to accompany her.

Wang Fang, who originally wanted to go home to rest, was pulled into the pleasure boat by Ao Xian and drove into the depths of the Taijiang River with the pleasure boat.

Ao Xian ordered the dishes while he was cooked, and then took out Qiongying, the scale clan's homemade, and sat on the high ground of the pleasure boat and ate and drank the sea.

"Brother Wang, you human race really know how to play." Ao Xian looked at the boats on the river with lights on it and the bustling city on the shore, and couldn't help but say enviously: "When I was in the Dragon Palace, I was so idle that I could only sleep. The scale races were all stupid, and I couldn't think of so many tricks for you human race.

What’s even more annoying is that thousands of years ago, your human race was not as comfortable as the scale race. As a result, in a flash, you became an existence that the scale race could only look up to.

I don’t know when we have such a city.”

Wang Fang also looked at Jiang Jing. To be honest, he has been plagued by various affairs since he came to this world, and he has rarely had any time to come out for fun. I have only heard of Jiang Ye Jing in Zejun. I saw him today... it is more beautiful than the rumors.

If Ao Xian hadn't forced himself to come, I don't know when I would have seen him.

Hearing Ao Xian’s longing for the human race to establish civilization, Wang Fang said: “Race rise and fall are all luck. If the ancestors of the human race had not discovered the power of the painter, we would still avoid the erosion of the demon race in the deep mountains and forests.

Maybe when another race emerges and another city is built here

But that must be a long time later.

Since the fourth prince yearns for human civilization, he should speed up the migration of the scale clan to the near-shore. Learning the human race’s things and building a city like Zejun is not difficult."

Ao Xian said: "I have already sent a letter to my father to explain the matter of letting the Lin clan migrate to the near sea in Zejun. My father has agreed. The mutual discussion with Jiang Kingdom has indeed made a great change in the Dragon Palace, but I came to Zejun and found that we had to suffer a great loss in the previous transactions.

A pearl can make a beauty willingly accompany me for a night, but she can't get much from the human businessman.

We must build the coastal cities of the scale clan as soon as possible, and also establish our own caravan of the scale clan... There are too many things to do. Does Brother Wang have any good suggestions? It can enable the scale clan to achieve equal status with the human race in trade as soon as possible."

Wang Fang could see that Ao Xian was extremely yearning for the civilization established by the human race. If he didn't look at the pair of dragon horns on his head, he would be no different from the human race.

A fun trip in Zejun also made him realize that there was great unfairness in the trade between the scales and humans. The value of the goods they exchanged for from human merchants was far less than what they paid.

The human businessmen regard the scale clan as a sucker. Although Ao Xian realized it, there was no good solution.

Wang Fang thought for a while and replied: "This is caused by asymmetric civilization level. The scale tribe has a lot of needs for human materials, but he doesn't know how these things were made, and of course he doesn't know its true value. The scale tribe can provide very few products, such as pearls and corals, and things like Scales tribe are very ordinary in the eyes of the scale tribe. They don't know how to cherish them even if they get it easily.

In fact, the scale clan did not suffer much loss in the transaction.

After all, our human race's products should be rare and precious things in your scale race, and you can get it by picking up some pearls at the bottom of the sea.

I'm talking about the fourth prince."

Wang Fang's words made Ao Xian suddenly stunned for a moment, and then realized that he smiled and said, "Hahaha... Brother Wang is right. I have been in Zejun for too long and regard myself as your human race.

Pearls are really everywhere in the sea, but you human race cannot get them in the deep sea. But for the scale race, you will never pick them up when you see them in the past.

In the view of the scale clan, it is because of the earnings of pearls and corals that can exchange things from the human race.

I thought too much.”

Originally Ao Xian had already let it go, but Wang Fang said: "But if the scale clan continues to exchange pearls for the human race's products according to the current market conditions, when the human race has more and more pearls, it will inevitably cause the pearls to depreciate significantly. At that time, the fourth prince will take out a box of pearls, and the girls will probably not take a look."

Of course, Ao Xian knew that some things would be worthless once they were flooded. Now pearls are loved by girls because the exchange between the scales and humans has just begun, and the value of pearls has not been greatly affected.

If the scale tribe continues to exchange pearls for human goods in large quantities, when there are a certain amount of pearls on the land, it will be like being in the sea and will be ignored.

By then, what else can the scale clan use to trade with the human race?

Ao Xian immediately became worried and asked, "What should I do?"

Wang Fang replied: "The first thing is to strictly prohibit the scales from using pearls and corals in private to trade with human merchants. If the pearls are sold privately, the corals must be punished severely, and the source of the pearls and corals must be firmly controlled in the hands of the Dragon Palace. In this way, you are qualified to reprice the pearls on land and human merchants.

Use the Scales’ own Chamber of Commerce and Linhai City to monitor the number and market conditions of pearls on land at any time and control the number of pearls.

Actually, I suggest that large-scale pearl transactions can be entrusted to Shanhai Money House for operation. I have a plan to attract big merchants to invest in pearl trade, which can not only bring a lot of cash to Shanhai Money House, but also make profits by manipulating the price of pearls."

Wang Fang's idea comes from futures trading.

When the scale tribe began to provide pearls to the land, the original pearl mining industry of the human race became history. As long as the pearl production and source can be fully controlled, buying and selling pearls can make a difference, manipulating the price of pearls can use futures to cut leeks at any time... even more ruthless.

Pearls can be done, and corals can be done too. Ambergris, deep-sea ink... can be used to operate.

Ao Xian didn't know how terrifying the benefits it could bring to control the price of pearls. He only knew what to make money, so it was absolutely right to listen to Wang Fang.
