More and more people are starting to inquire about this thing.

So much so that more people became interested in this.

On the market, it is not just Fang Jifan who wants to acquire this thing.

Think about it, even the Duke of Zhenguo can't get something. This thing... must have great benefits.

It’s a pity... this thing has been tossing for half a month, but it still has no market price.

At this moment... a Persian merchant caused a small wave.

This merchant is also here.

I heard that the Ming Dynasty's ban was much looser than before, and merchants traveling to and from the Western Regions continued to flow.

I also heard that the Ming Dynasty was rich and I wanted to sell some silk to the Ming Dynasty, but when I arrived at the capital, I found that it was even more terrifying than I thought.

Soon, he was like a fish in water, and he was drunk and dreaming every day, listening to operas, music, eating and drinking, everything was full of money. In just over five months, his money was almost done, but sadly, the goods were not in.

He began to feel frightened and what should he do? So... although he still pretends to be silk and satin every day, he tries his best to find a way out here.

In fact, there are many foreign merchants like him, but the transaction was not completed and eventually they fell into the streets! What's even more terrifying is that once they fall into the streets and are taken away by the Five City Military Command, they will be escorted directly to the Golden State.

Golden Island...

Although this Persian merchant has never been there, he feels terrible when he thinks about it.

Fortunately, when he came to the capital, his only gain was that he could barely communicate with people in Chinese.

This day, as usual, he was drinking tea in the tea shop, but he was thinking about his thoughts. Suddenly, he heard someone talk about something at the teahouse next door.

He listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt strange it became.

What exactly is what they describe?

No...

He stood up and asked the two tea lovers who were talking enthusiastically, what exactly this thing looked like.

After asking carefully, he immediately said, "But I don't know if there are any samples. If there are no samples, I just rely on descriptions, and I'm afraid I will admit my mistake."

"Why, you know this thing?"

In Beijing, people generally despise Hu merchants.

After all, this is the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it has been very much despised by the Hu people.

Even when ancient people wrote poems, most people who involved Hu people were despised. Whenever Hu characters were mentioned, they would not mention Hu Ji, and they believed that Hu people were mostly despised in China.

Not only because the Hu people are poor, but the most important thing is that they are different from later generations. People in later generations use blonde hair and blue eyes, or high nose and deep eyes as beauty. However, in this era, people regard such appearance as ugly.

As a result, the legal interpretations of the Ming Dynasty Laws, Hulu and Marriage Laws were made specifically for legal interpretation: if a person with a semen is ugly, if a Chinese person is unwilling to marry him, he will listen to his own marriage, and he will not be allowed to marry him.

So these two merchants looked impatient,

The Persian merchant said, "It may not be possible to know each other, but you need to see each other in person. If you don't see each other in person, you will not dare to make a conclusion easily."

So a tea chef said, "No such thing can be found in other places in the capital. Only the largest shopkeeper in the capital, Mr. Wang, is available. However... even if you come to the door, he may not be willing to see you. Such a treasure, let alone show you."

Who is Mr. Wang? This Persian merchant knows at the first time he hears it!

Although Wang Jinyuan is just a housekeeper in the Fang family, he is well-known among merchants.

This Persian merchant did not dare to stay and continued to waste time. He hurriedly paid the tea money and left the teahouse excitedly. Then he went straight to Xishan and inquire about it. He just found Wang Jinyuan who was checking accounts in the money shop!

Originally, this Persian businessman came here, but in fact he was just trying it out, and he didn't expect that Wang Jinyuan would really be willing to see him, but who knew that this shopkeeper Wang was willing to treat the virtuous and the wise and the wise.

Then, the Persian merchant entered the hall and Wang Jinyuan greeted him, but the merchant's nature has always liked to go straight to the point, and Wang Jinyuan asked about his purpose.

The Persian merchant said, "I heard... Now everyone in Beijing is looking for something, this thing... Did the shopkeeper Wang call it a yellow gill, right? I wonder if the shopkeeper Wang can give this yellow gill to the villain to see."

Wang Jinyuan smiled and said, "This is easy."

So someone took it.

The Persian merchants opened their eyes wide and looked at the object carefully.

The reason why it is called "yellow gallbladder" is that this thing is indeed like "bladder", which is yellow, translucent, like some kind of glue...

After seeing this, Persian merchants were already filled with storm.

He suppressed his inner excitement, looked up at Wang Jinyuan, and said, "I have this thing..."

"You have?" Wang Jinyuan looked at the Hu Shang with interest.

"I just don't know how much money should be purchased?" the Persian businessman asked carefully.

Wang Jinyuan thought for a while: "This...but it's hard to say. Now many people are looking for it. Xishan also has a great demand for it. You might as well do this. Just use one tael of yellow gut and one tael of silver. How about it?"

When the Persian merchant heard this, there was no expression on his face, but only he knew it. He felt that his heart had bent into his throat!

His scalp exploded and he nodded quickly: "It's just that this thing is not in the Ming Dynasty. I need to go back to my hometown. This round trip... took time..."

Wang Jinyuan said patiently: "This is easy to say. I'm so anxious to find this thing now. I've grayed my hair. Whenever you come with this yellow gut, I'll count what I say."

It is said that there is no businessman without any traitor.

But when the merchant reaches the point where he is like Wang Jinyuan, he will be a spit and a nail.

His promise is more useful than ten thousand taels of gold.

The Persian merchant did not hesitate anymore.

He stood up and said goodbye without hesitation.

Then he quickly entered some rare things in the capital, then bought a horse, and left the capital overnight.

In fact, he really recognized this thing!

Of course, this thing actually did not come from Persia.

It is a kind of gum that is abundant in the northern Kunlun continent.

This kind of gum tree can only survive in the northern Kunlun continent, so people call it gum arabic in the local area.

Nowadays, most of the North Kunlun Continent are the territory of the Ottoman Empire... and such gums exist in large quantities in North Kunlun Continent. In the local area... except for locals who use it as food seasonings, this thing has almost no effect, and it can be said to be... worthless!

But now...

It's time to make a fortune!

This is almost like the same weight of gold from a pile of stones in the Ming Dynasty to Northern Kunlun Continent.

He traveled almost day and night without stopping for a moment.

This Persian merchant knew very well that once this matter was leaked, countless merchants would pour into the Northern Kunlun continent.

Because the Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans began to trade and countless caravans began to travel, there were almost all outlets and inns for merchants along the way, and even in the vast desert, there were special guides. They could accurately take your caravan to an oasis in the desert to rest and finally walk out of the desert.

Therefore... although this journey is a long journey, there is not much risk in this section.

…………

The original cause of the work, Fang Jifan, seemed to have temporarily left his gum behind.

The most urgent task at the moment is whether the steam ironclad ship can support ocean-going operations.

This involves countless issues such as personnel, supplies, maintenance, etc.

The advancement of science and technology has brought about the high requirements for professional talents.

An iron-clad ship is not just an iron lump. It involves power, steering, artillery and other systems that it involves require professional talents to master.

It is precisely because of this that Tianjin Naval Academy is the only branch college stationed abroad.

But this is also the place that all students who enter school are most reluctant to come.

After all... we are here to learn, what's the best thing to learn about this boat?

What's more, the school has high requirements for people's physical fitness, and I heard that... it is very hard in the school. Not only do you have to learn knowledge, but you also need to train your body every day. After studying for a year or two, you also need to go sailing with the ship to practice. Sometimes you can't come back for a month.

This school was established by Tang Yin himself. In order to recruit students, he even waived all tuition fees and promised that those who enrolled could enjoy salary, which attracted a group of poor children.

These people began to learn to read and write in the first year, and the second year they began to teach the knowledge on ships. The subjects were divided into helm, hydrological surveying, ship command, fire control, maintenance and other majors.

Nowadays, it continuously provides a large number of talents to Tianjin Wei's steam ironclad ships.

But... compared with the glamor and achievements of other scientists from Xishan College, the navy students here are unknown.

Even if there is any theoretical breakthrough, they are not allowed to send their papers to weekly journals and only provide some internal rewards. Usually... they have even been forgotten.

So much so that Fang Jifan himself... had actually been reminded by Xu Jing that he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing here...

Fang Jifan arrived at Tianjin Guard. Here, the Iron Armored Navy personnel and the school students had already lined up in the water village to come. Fang Jifan came.

When Fang Jifan's carriage arrived, Xu Jing personally opened the carriage door. When Fang Jifan landed, he saw countless people lined up in front of him.

Fang Jifan looked at the guys with bronze skin and thought that at that time... Tang Yin asked them to bask in the sun a lot, so he said to Xu Jing: "How many people are there on this ship and on the port now?"

"There are 3,974 people in total." Xu Jing said immediately: "However... this does not include the cavalry and infantry that will fight with the navy in the future. Theoretically, if another ship is launched at the end of the year, then a cavalry and infantry that can carry nearly 7,000 people will fight with the ship."
