Chapter 1368 How long can Da Song endure if he can't do anything?
Chapter 1368
Now, this is Tong Guan’s fifteenth trip to sea as captain, and his target is the entrance of the river to the east of the Liaodong Peninsula in the north.
Three, five,000 ships with 4,000 materials, took several days to finally see the distant coastline. Looking at the familiar coastline, as Tong Guan shouted loudly, the lookout hand on the main mast quickly gave an answer.
The entrance to the sea was peaceful and there was nothing unusual. Tong Guan issued an order, headed by his flagship, and set off again and slowly drove into the smooth river, heading northward, and walked for nearly two days. Only after seeing a small open space hidden around the mountain forest, only near the river bank, there was also a destination of a simple dock.
The yellow and green flags representing safety are still hanging high, and someone is waving warmly toward this side...
Seeing this scene, Tong Guan finally felt a breath of vigor. This trip of shipping finally arrived at the destination safely.
After all, the trade between Wanhong Trading Company and the Nu Zhizhu tribe has always been low-key and hidden. It is precisely because of such caution that the Liao people have not noticed that the State of Song had been conducting secret transactions with the Nu Zhizhu tribe for such a long time.
As the ship slowly leaned on the dock, Tong Guan not only saw the head of the guard, but also saw another acquaintance Di Gubao who had met twice.
The first time was in Tokyo Bianliang, the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. The second time was when he was learning to sail, he had come here once with the voyage ships and met this boss of the female direct alliance.
"My good brother, I didn't expect to meet you today. That's great. A few days ago, the storm here was always very big, and I thought you were coming late." Di Gubao looked at these towering ships and opened his arms towards Tong Guan, who was the first to walk off the sea boat.
Tong Guan, who is tall and strong and brave, also repaid Na Di Gubao's enthusiasm in the same way. "How can such a storm, how can it be rare to defeat our Wanhong Trading Fleet? This time, not only will it bring you five hundred jars of burning knives, but also twenty thousand stones of food, and five hundred pairs of iron armor..."
"You are indeed the best brothers in our Women's Alliance. It's great. With this batch of food, at least our Women's Children and the elderly finally don't have to be afraid of hunger anymore." Hearing this, Di Gubao couldn't help but look at him and laughed radiantly.
"However, I don't know if you have brought enough things to exchange this time, Lord Di Gubao? You must know that although the things I Wanhong Trading Company gave you the female direct alliance are all friendly prices, the business is business and you will not be owed credit. If it is still like last time..." Tong Guan smiled and said slowly.
Di Gubao smiled awkwardly. "Don't worry, this time I have explained more tribes. They have prepared enough fur early and those treasures that are only available in the white mountains and black waters. I believe this time it will definitely be a very pleasant transaction."
"Let's go there, let's go there, all the goods used for trading this time are hidden in the cave over there..."
#####
Tong Guan followed Na Gubao forward with great strides, followed by a group of financial and professionals who were good at calculating. They were responsible for inspecting goods and calculating prices. Only when the goods to be paid by the Women's Direct Alliance were confirmed, Tong Guan would unload the corresponding amount of grain, iron armor, and spirits.
The reason why I chose this place as the trading location is because it is far from the sphere of influence of the Liao people and was originally a gathering place for a small tribe of Nuzhi.
Those female tribes did not have to carry goods to trade through areas controlled by the Northern Liao Dynasty, so that they could trade with the Song Dynasty safely.
The huge cave was already full of fur made of nitr and placed in it in a variety of categories, as well as bundles of ginseng. Of course, the gold and silver products they snatched from the hands of the Northern Liao people were indispensable.
These were all used to trade with the Song Dynasty. With the joint efforts of more than a dozen professionals, it took less than an hour to count them. After finally confirming the value, Tong Guan nodded slightly to the manager behind him.
Next, it is unloading and loading the ship. This time has been much longer.
Tong Guan and Na Di Gubao came to a small wooden house not far from the cave, where there were already burning knives, and someone was scorching the buzzing game on the bonfire.
"By the way, Lord Di Gubao, Tong came here this time not only to deliver goods, but also to deliver letters..." After sitting down, he drank the strong wine handed over by Di Gubao, and felt like there was a flame burning from his throat to his stomach. Tong Guan, who dared not forget the serious matter.
"What letter is sent?" Di Gubao wiped the fat from the corner of his mouth and looked at Tong Guan happily and asked. This business he was able to make a lot of money again, which was really pleasant.
"Mr. Wang asked Tong to tell Lord Di Gubao that the goods traded with you will be reduced by half from next month, and in half a year, the transaction may be stopped..."
When Di Gubao heard this, he was stunned. Not only him, but also the female warriors around him were shocked.
"What does this mean? Do you Song dogs want to violate the previous agreement?!" A female warrior couldn't help but change his expression. He pulled out the sword made from the Song army weapon supervisor on his waist and said in stuttering Chinese.
His reaction made the hands of the two great Song samurai soldiers standing behind Tong Guan land on the hilt of their waists.
"Enough Atai! You all, retreat!" Di Gubao took a deep breath, looked at Tong Guan, who was still sitting there, smiling and playing with the wine glass, and looked at him, and quickly stopped the female warriors, and let the female warriors around him retreat aside.
Then Tong Guan waved his hand lazily, signaling the guards beside him to take a few steps back.
Di Gubao then pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a slight smile. "Brother Tong, is it that something happened to Song Ting? Why did Lord Wang ask you to bring me such bad news?"
Tong Guan looked at Di Gubao and saw the guilty expression on this guy's face, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. "Sir, please let me tell you, have you forgotten the covenant between you and me in the Song Dynasty?"
"How is this possible? I, Di Gubao, are you the kind of person who goes against your word?" Di Gubao's head shook quickly.
"Then, both winters have passed, why haven't you seen Lord Di Gubao fulfill your promise to me?"
