Chapter 1196: Complete acquisition and return flight

In fact, Marin did not want to visit Daming's splendid rivers and mountains. Why? Because he has seen it in future generations! Although they are basically pictures viewed on the Internet, they can be considered.

Moreover, later generations of Marin did not like to go out to travel during Golden Week. Where is tourism? It was clearly crowded. Some of the more famous scenic spots are crowded on holidays. Just looking at the head, you can't take a good look at the scenery. Therefore, it might as well look at pictures at home.

What's more, in this era, there was no high-speed rail, no aircraft, not even large passengers. It was simply terrible to travel far. Especially riding, looking handsome, but the degree of bumps, poor fitness can not bear it. Not to mention the carriage, there are no anti-vibration springs. People sitting on the car encounter uneven roads, basically sitting on the seat and jumping up and down.

Therefore, when the civil servants of Daming travel with their families, they often choose to take a boat. For example, take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal route. Although the speed is slower, you can win by boat. As for seasickness or something, it's not that exaggerated. Seasickness ships are generally sea ships. Because the sails of the sea boat are severely inclined under the sea breeze, and then cause the hull to shake violently, of course, poor constitution or uncomfortable seasickness. But walking on the Grand Canal by boat is different. Like the sloping black tent boat, it is actually very stable. As long as there is no bad weather, it is generally more stable than a horse-drawn carriage on land.

However, Marin is not a civil servant who is ignorant and does not care about the bumps on his horse. Therefore, after asking the Ming court again, he has the right to use the Daming Post System. In other words, he can keep changing horses along the way. In this way, Marin can drive four or five hundred miles a day, without waiting for the horse to recover. From Beijing to Wuchang, the road was only over two thousand miles. Marin and a group of men walked through the station system. They kept changing horses and arrived in a few days.

But in the past few days, he kept changing horses and rushing to the road, which also caused Marin to die. Fortunately, he no longer runs around afterwards, as long as he sits in Wuchang and waits for merchants to deliver goods.

But those merchants spreading news to their hometown was slower than Marin's rush, and it was time-consuming to raise goods and ship them to Wuchang. Therefore, Marin simply waited slowly in Wuchang. Anyway, he didn't want to experience the bumpy days on horseback anymore. In particular, it is already winter, and riding around on horseback is really not a good choice and it is very uncomfortable.

After arriving in Wuchang, Marin called on the two ambassadors of Huguang's administrative bureau and the governor of Huguang, and they stayed in the post. Because other officials are not worth his contact. After all, he is also regarded as a consolation mission of Cong Sanpin within Daming. There is no need to bird other than the governor and the governor of Huguang. Only the capital is different, there are too many gangsters over there, and Marin has to lower his posture. But in Huguang province, Marin really has no need to bird other than the two chiefs and governors.

In fact, Marin was really reluctant to take this trip. However, the cabinets of Zhengde and Daming stipulated that-in the future trade, ships on Dongpan Island must be docked at three ports in Fuzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou, and they are not allowed to go deep into the mainland.

Therefore, Marin could only follow this opportunity and went to the mainland in the name of play. Otherwise, they will not be authorized to go deep into the inland area ...

...

In addition to the acquisition of various medicinal materials, Marin certainly did not forget to acquire the seeds of Phyllostachys pubescens, tung tree seeds and sumac seeds ...

The Phyllostachys pubescens seeds acquired by Kong Tai last time in Guangzhou were too few and simply not enough. The seeds of the oil tree and the sumac are also more beneficial. Therefore, before leaving Beijing, Marin greeted businessmen from all over the world and asked them to help purchase the seeds of Phyllostachys pubescens, tung tree and sumac and send them to Wuchang. Especially for the seeds of Phyllostachys pubescens, this thing has been blooming and fruiting only 60 years ago, and it is very difficult to find.

This time, Marin was in Wuchang and posted a message widely inviting merchants from all over the world to bring bamboo seeds to Wuchang to exchange money. Marin's price is not low, although there is no sky-high price of 20 two silver a catty that Kong Tai last sold in Guangzhou, but there are 3 two silver a catty.

Don't underestimate the price of these three silver coins per kilogram. You should know that Daming's precious medicinal herbs, except for several top-level medicinal herbs such as ginseng, do not exceed one or two silver coins per kilogram. The precious sandalwood in Daming is only 055 ounces per catty. The purchase price of 3 two silvers per catty from Marin is definitely a high price, so no one is worried that no one will deliver it to the door.

However, while sitting in Wuchang, Marin also asked Kong Tai to hire several brokers at a high price in Wuchang City, and arranged for them to rush to Anhua and Jingdezhen to dig people.

Deanhua is mainly because Malin wants to dig tea farmers. After all, although Malin can spend money to purchase Anhua black tea's tea tree seeds, it does not have the technology to grow tea trees and make black tea bricks. Therefore, he needs to dig a few tea farmers and follow him to Tai Island to give instructions on how to plant Anhua black tea trees and how to make black tea bricks.

The brokers sent to Jingdezhen are mainly responsible for excavating a few ceramic artisans and following to Taiwan. Then, look for the porcelain clay mining area in the Yingge area in the western Taipei Basin. Then, establish a ceramic production base.

Because of the tight time, Marin only asked them to dig a few folk kiln craftsmen and ships to Taiwan. In fact, what Marin wants to dig most is the master craftsman of the official kiln in Jingdezhen. However, the ceramic artisans of the official kiln are all strictly controlled by the government. Marin is not unable to obtain the pottery pottery of the official kiln through bribery, but it takes a lot of time. In a hurry, Marin could not get the local officials and let them cooperate with the master craftsman who brought the official kiln. Therefore, this time Marin can only dig a few craftsmen at high prices. Moreover, their task is only to find the Yingge porcelain clay area to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of a ceramic base in the future, but it does not need the level of an official kiln master, ordinary civilian kiln ceramic artisans.

...

In addition to these actions, Marin also recruited a group of landless nomads and beggars near Wuchang with the permission of the Ming Dynasty, and bought dozens of slave-servants to be taken to Taiwan. After all, developing Taiwan Island also requires population.

But in fact, Marin's migrants, beggars, and purchased slave-servants recruited near Wuchang were all covering the recruited Anhua tea farmers and folk kiln ceramic artisans in Jingdezhen.

In Wuchang, Marin recruited and purchased more than 200 landless refugees, middle-aged beggars and slave-servants. With so many people under cover, it would be effortless to cram a few tea farmers and ceramic artisans inside.

The same is true. Three months later, the brokers sent to Anhua and Jingdezhen brought back 6 tea farmers and 4 ceramic artisans respectively. However, they all went to Taiwan Island alone, and did not drag their families. This is also impossible, because these tea farmers and ceramic artisans are not homeless and do not need to move their families to Taiwan Island. Although they were impressed by the money paid by Marin, they did not intend to take the whole family to take risks. Therefore, they all chose to go alone and leave all the money given by Marin to their families. In this way, even if they encounter something unexpected, the family will not catch anything.

...

At this time, a large number of medicinal materials and corresponding seeds, such as Coptis chinensis, Youyang Artemisia, etc., purchased from Shuzhong, Huguang, and southern Shaanxi, also arrived in Wuchang. Moreover, the 10 500-ton warships originally berthed at the mouth of the Yangtze River also flowed upstream from the mouth of the Yangtze River and reached Wuchang.

Not to mention, Marin directly ordered all kinds of medicinal materials and seeds, as well as the recruited population, to ship together, and then down the river ...

At the mouth of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal near Zhenjiang, Zhang Cai was already waiting with two thousand Taihu pigs he had acquired, and a few sacks of scary (Biluochun) tea.

What surprised Marin was that Zhang Cai brought not only Taihu pigs and tea species, but also two local tea farmers to guide the cultivation of scary fragrant tea trees and the frying of tea leaves. After all, scary fragrance is green tea, and Anhua's black tea is a different method of making. Therefore, Zhang Cai thought of this without Marlin's prompt, which made Marin very happy.

What makes Marin most happy is that Zhang Cai actually claimed that he had taken two bankrupt silkworm farmers from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, and brought hundreds of lake mulberry seedlings and a bag of Huzhou silkworm seeds ... (Ouhuang Rise: 7777372)-(Rise of the Emperor)
