Chapter 1095 The Ming Empire in Jin Yongtai's Eyes

There were no twists and turns in the transaction process. For Jin Yongtai and others, selling the goods they had earlier was the happiest thing for them.

What's more, although he didn't make as much money as he expected, he lost more than 1,000 taels of silver. However, the final transaction price still satisfies Kim Yongtai.

After all, if the goods in his hand were shipped to the Ming Dynasty, they would have to be at least 2,000 taels of silver less. So King Charlie gave the price of 11,500 taels of silver. Although Jin Yongtai didn't say anything, he was actually very satisfied.

Who made him not so well-informed? Even if the owner of Jiuzhou has changed, he doesn’t know.

Originally, he planned to do business with the Japanese, but unexpectedly, after coming to Nagasaki, he suddenly found that Kyushu had been ceded by the Japanese, and his new master became a member of the Song Empire.

Then he can't come in vain. You have to know that hiring a ship is quite expensive. At the same time, he has to take some risks from going to Kyushu Nagasaki from Goryeo to sea.

The eastern sea surface in this era is not so calm. Although there are big tycoons like Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong, there are also some pirates who are making small fuss in private.

If you meet such a guy on the road, Kim Yong-tae wouldn't have time to cry.

But the problem is that you can't always be careful in order to make money, otherwise you might as well stay at home and why do you come out to do it?

But at least, you have to make enough money for this batch of goods, otherwise you would be sorry for the risk you took.

It was precisely with the support of this idea that Kim Yongtai took Zhao Zhenchang to abandon the Ming Dynasty and came to Nagasaki in Kyushu.

You should know that if you go to the Ming Dynasty, the risk will be reduced by at least by about half.

However, taking some risks and being able to earn two thousand taels of silver is worth it in Jin Yongtai's opinion.

Who made the purchasing power of silver in this era very strong?

King Charlie paid very happily. He packed 1,000 pieces of Da Longyang, one or two pieces of 10,000 pieces, and moved it to Jin Yongtai's merchant ship in two heavy wooden boxes.

King Charlie looked at the Goryeo merchant ship that looked a bit similar to a Ming-style building ship but had to be on a lot of numbers and looked despised.

Jin Yongtai went in and ordered the amount of silver inspection, while he himself chatted with Charlie Wang at the dock. Because he invited the doctor to come and used ointment when he returned in the morning, the pain in Jin Yongtai's lower body has been relieved a lot, and it is no longer as uncomfortable as in the morning.

Therefore, King Charlie saw Kim Yongtai's face obviously much easier than when he saw it in the morning.

"In the future, if you have such goods, you will directly deliver them to Nagasaki. The price is easy to negotiate." King Charlie said to Kim Yongtai.

When Kim Yongtai heard King Charlie say this, he was of course happy. "Thank you, I hope our cooperation will last for a long time. I also hope to do this business longer. Although it is much more convenient to go from Goryeo to the Ming Dynasty, the merchants in the Ming Dynasty were too ruthless, and they often put down the price through the government and all merchants, so of course I hope to come to Nagasaki, who doesn't want to make more money."

When King Charlie finished speaking, Kim Yongtai Balabala said a lot.

However, King Charlie heard a lot of useful information from Kim Yongtai's words, that is, selling goods to Nagasaki is a higher price than selling them to Ming Dynasty, but this news is of no use to King Charlie.

The empire now occupies Kyushu, and Kyushu borders the Honshu and the Shiguo. It can be said that with the empire goods from Kyushu that are well-known, they can easily be trafficked there, whether on the surface or smuggled.

Therefore, the news revealed in Kim Yongtai's speech is really useless.

The second is that there is another layer of information in Jin Yongtai's dialect, that is, if foreigners go there to do business, there is a high possibility that they will be exploited by merchants with deep local backgrounds. Those merchants who basically have a backer with the imperial background, and even have officials at home will collude with the government and other colleagues to eat foreign goods together, and will also keep the price extremely low.

In other words, it was not easy for foreign businessmen to do business in the Ming Dynasty in this era.

After guessing such a fact, King Charlie sighed in his heart.

In his impression, in his previous world, countless foreign businessmen liked to do business, because the system of the Celestial Empire was too generous for foreign businessmen.

On the contrary, local businesses will be forced by foreign businesses to be difficult to do.

Compared with the two, King Charlie feels that the merchants of this era are still happy.

Of course, these merchants who King Charlie said were happy referring to the merchants of the Ming Empire.

Because only in this era can the merchants of the Celestial Empire suppress foreign businessmen and make foreign businessmen suffer.

This is something that cannot be imagined in the modern world.

In this era, there is no such thing as a foreign master.

For the Ming people of this era, only themselves are the most powerful, and others are all foreign barbarians... This situation continued until the Opium War, and the Celestial Empire began to change.

I really envy them, but since we have come to this world with the Prince's Palace, we should leave the matter of squeezing these local bullies to us.

King Charlie thought to himself, but his face showed a little surprised look on his face and looked at Jin Yongtai and said, "Oh, will the merchants in the Ming Dynasty use such despicable means? And I heard that the country of court is a country of etiquette? Besides, our ancestors have lived on this land. My father once said that the people here are very polite and should not do such a thing, right?"

This guy, Charlie, was obviously pretending to be garlic, but in fact he didn't understand anything in his heart.

He actually knew very well about the Ming Dynasty's vision of foreign ethnic groups in neighboring countries in this era.

However, in front of Kim Yongtai, he was just pretending to be confused with his understanding.

Seeing that King Charlie asked about this, Kim Yong-tae started to complain.

Anyway, his goods have been taken over now, and a piece of heartache has come to the ground, so Kim Yongtai is in a good mood.

Especially after contacting King Charlie, he also felt that King Charlie could... not bad.

Therefore, Kim Yongtai said to King Charlie: "The people in the Ming Empire always think that they are from the top of the Celestial Kingdom, so they have always looked down on these people in our neighboring countries from the bottom of their hearts. But they don't say it, but who doesn't know..."

Nonsense, just by your own tricks, do you still want the people of the Ming Empire to look down on you?

You have nothing to show off. Even if you are invaded by the Japanese, you have to rely on the Ming Dynasty to protect your territory. In this way, you can still make people respect you.

Not to mention that they are from the Ming Dynasty, even I look down on you.

Listening to Kim Yongtai's complaints, King Charlie also despised him in his heart.

However, the expression on King Charlie's face cooperated very well, so Kim Yong-tae didn't know that the guy standing in front of him was actually the kind of person who looked down on them.

"You don't know that when we, the Korean merchants, went to the Ming Dynasty, were treated unfairly. Their local merchants have very broad connections. Usually, if they like our goods, they will collude with the government and other merchants and work together to squeeze us."

When Kim Yongtai talked about the Ming Dynasty, a look of love and hatred appeared on his face.

"Pity that we have no power and power over there, and we can't compete with them at all. Usually, we can only knock down our front teeth and swallow them in our stomachs and endure this breath, otherwise what else can we do."

Sigh!

Kim Yongtai was really sighing now.

"However, although we little businessmen have lost money, our country of Goryeo can take a lot of advantage. So if we think about it this way, we will feel much more comfortable." King Yongtai's words made King Charlie very curious.

He didn't know what Kim Yong-tae meant?

According to him, this must have suffered a loss.

But how could Goryeo still gain advantage? This is really hard to figure out.

So, King Charlie couldn't help but ask in a curiosity.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Charlie King asked with a curious look on his face.

Charlie's curious appearance satisfyed Kim Yongtai's little vanity.

"Hehe, this matter is actually very simple. The Ming Dynasty regards itself as the Supreme Kingdom of the Heavenly Kingdom and is very fond of face. Therefore, our king will send envoys to pay tribute every year and bring a lot of gifts. So we have taken a big advantage."

King Charlie's words made King Yongtai even more confused.

I'll wipe it!

This is a good deal, isn't it?

Is this guy's brain watered up? How is that possible?

King Charlie couldn't understand this matter, so he could only wait for Kim Yong-tae to continue explaining.

"The reason is actually very simple, because the Ming Dynasty regarded itself as a country above the Celestial Kingdom, while our country regarded itself as a vassal. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty would double the gifts brought by each tribute in order to save face. Isn't our country profitable during this period?"

When Kim Yongtai talked about this, his face looked very proud, as if he had taken advantage of it.

I went there!

It turns out that I have to live a life of face and I never thought that there would be such a strange thing in the Ming Dynasty.

This is the Ming Dynasty. If it were placed on our Song Empire, we would not double the gifts you brought. Only those who are stupid will do such things.

Charlie's lips twitched, feeling that the minds of those people in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be squeezed by the door... (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
