Today's second update, please recommend and collect.

"Oh?" Zhengliang immediately became energetic when he heard Wang Hai take the initiative to talk about his purpose of this visit.
"Sir, this time the villain brought some specialties in the Ming Dynasty and was preparing to trade with the adults," said Wang Hai.
"Okay, I am also interested in trading with you. Let me visit your goods first," Zhengliang said readily.
"Sir, please come here." Seeing that Zhengliang was so happy, Wang Hai did not drag on it. This time he made a special trip to Luo's house, Wang Hai still had the purpose of repaying kindness. Otherwise, with the popularity of Ming Dynasty goods, he could be sold out completely at Hirado.
Everyone soon came to the cabin. Wang Hai first let a mistake open a wooden box. Zheng Liang looked at it strangely and saw bundles of silky objects neatly arranged in the wooden box. Zheng Liang picked up one of the bundles and rubbed it carefully. He started with soft and smoothness, full touch, good strength, elasticity, and soft luster.
"Sir, this is the most popular raw silk in Japan," Wang Hai introduced.
"What? Is this raw silk?" Zheng Lian was stunned. In his previous life, he usually saw finished products made of raw silk, but he didn't expect that he had seen real raw silk here today. People in this era had a fanatical pursuit of silk products from the Ming Dynasty, which was indeed excellent trade goods.
After introducing raw silk, Wang Hai also introduced some rare goods such as musk, famous calligraphy and painting, xu, Luo, Jinxiu, agarwood, orangutan skin, etc. In addition to paying a little attention to musk, Luo and Jinxiu, Zhengliang was interested in others.
"What is that?" Just as Zheng Liang was preparing to discuss the goods to be traded, suddenly there were several barrels of material sealed in a corner of the cabin and asked immediately.
"Sir, that's tincture oil, for lighting the boat at night." Wang Hai was stunned by Zhengliang's sudden question, and was very surprised why this adult was interested in this kind of thing. But he didn't know that Zhengliang was very happy at this moment. This is authentic tincture oil. Compared with the dark and unpleasant earth tincture oil used here at night, this authentic tincture oil has the characteristics of not having too much odor, and the fire is large and lasting for a long time. It can not only be used to light the lights at night when you are using it at night.
It can even be used in wars. In fact, as early as the more ancient wars, this kind of tincture extracted from oil was used. During the Northern Anniversary (578 AD), the Turkic rulers sent troops to siege Jiuquan, Gansu. Local soldiers and civilians ignited the "tincture oil" to burn the enemy's siege tools, defeated the enemy, and defended the city of Jiuquan. During the Houliang (919 AD), there were cases of "tincture oil" being put in iron cans and fired out to burn enemy ships.
"Very good, so let's talk about the transaction now?" Zhengliang simply said.
"I don't know what goods are being traded," Wang Hai asked. This time, Wang Hai did not bring too much goods, so he was a little worried that Zhengliang asked for too many goods. In fact, he had no idea that Zhengliang is just a poor man now. Apart from the 3,000 guan of gold, silver and copper coins that had just been blackmailed from the Huzi family and the recent strategy, there were no other coins. In addition to the coins, Zheng Liang was preparing to trade in the form of goods exchanged for goods. Now, in the Luo family's warehouse, with the production of small copper mines on the Yegao Mountain in the past few months and the capture of the recent strategy, there were nearly 30,000 jin of copper ore. In addition to the swords and guns that are still popular among the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Liang believes that both parties will be happy in this transaction.
"I'm going to ask for a lot of raw silk, and a small amount of musk, Luo, and Jinxiu. Of course, it would be best if you could get some tincture oil," said Zhengliang.
"Well, six jin of raw silk per kilogram, and the rest of the musk, Luo, and Jinxiu depend on how much the adults want?" Wang Hai frowned and thought for a while and said.
"Haha, let's do this. We don't need copper coins to settle the settlement, we just use copper materials and swords to settle the settlement with you. What do you think?" Zhengliang smiled and did not reply to Wang Hai in a positive way, but explained first the settlement method of exchanging goods.
"Okay, there is no problem with this," Wang Hai agreed immediately. Anyway, they just purchased supplies on the spot after obtaining the copper coins, and they did not intend to keep the copper coins. However, the copper smelting method of Japan was backward. After buying copper by themselves, they could return to the furnace to smel and extract the residual silver, which could also make huge profits. Why not do it? Besides, the quality of Japanese knives is relatively good and it is easy to sell them.
"Now, one kilogram of silk here is priced at five jin of text, one kilogram of steel (a place where copper is produced) twelve jin of text, and one kilogram of copper can be exchanged for three jin of silk. But as far as I know, a kilogram of copper can be exchanged for eight to ten jin of silk in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be sold for more than 40 to fifty jin of silk according to the price of Japanese silk, which can be sold for four to five times the profit. If you buy it with gold and silver, you will also make a profit; ten jin of gold in the Japanese gold is worth thirty jin of silk, and only six jin of silk is bought in the Ming Dynasty. In the lowest price, you can also change for twenty to more than thirty jin of silk. According to the price here, you can sell for more than 120 to 150 jin of silk, which is also a huge profit of four to five times. Wang Hai, don't you think the price you paid is a bit high?" Although after just two days of acquaintance, Zhengliang is already quite familiar with Wang Hai, but when it comes to business and business, it is necessary to talk about the price.
"Hiss" Wang Hai was secretly surprised. It seemed that this young lord had extraordinary knowledge and even the situation in Ming Kingdom was so clear. So Wang Hai immediately lowered the price of the goods slightly. In this way, the two sides went back and forth and finally determined the result of the transaction. The Luo family paid 30,000 kilograms of copper ore, 200 swords and swords, and some gold and silver, and obtained the other party's 600 kilograms of raw silk, 15 barrels of tinder oil, Musk, Luo, and Jinxiu. In addition, Zhengliang also hoped to buy more tinder oil, and Wang Hai also agreed to send 10 barrels of tinder oil after going back to Ming Kingdom. This was the limit that their fleet could provide. If they provided it, there would be no oil lamps to light at night when they returned to Ming Kingdom. Finally, both parties in this transaction could be said to have obtained what they had obtained.
After the transaction was completed, Zhengliang was entertaining Wang Hai in Cangshan City. After drinking and eating, Zhengliang ordered people to hand over the two desserts after the meal. One of them was long stick-shaped, with a golden fruit grain inlaid on it. The other was blocky and covered with yellowish whole body. Although the two foods were a bit unique in shape, they emitted a wave of sweetness from a distance, and they did not stop moving their index fingers.
"Sir, is this?" Wang Hai was the first time he saw such food and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Haha, this is a unique specialty of our family. The golden one is called corn. The yellow one is sweet potato. They are all sweet things. Today you are fortunate to taste this delicious food with me for the first time. "After speaking, Zhengliang took the lead in picking up a corn and demonstrated to Wang Hai how to eat it. Speaking of these two foods, it was also what the girls in the lord's mansion in Seoul brought to Zhengliang after the first harvest. Zhengliang has been busy with official business these days and almost forgot about these things. It happened that Zhengliang had an idea and remembered these foods.
It can be said that the emergence of these two kinds of food greatly improved the people's future lives and even changed the world's food structure. Zhengliang planned to sell these crops to Wang Hai, which on the other hand increased the income of the territory, and on the other hand, let Wang Hai bring these crops to Ming Kingdom in the future and even planted these crops. After all, in the Ming Kingdom, the lives of the lower-class people are also very difficult. Zhengliang does not ask to help too many people, but as long as he can help a person escape from hunger, it is also good. Of course, for Japan, Zhengliang temporarily adopted a confidentiality policy, only allowing circulation within the territory, and strictly blocking the outflow of these crops.
Wang Hai learned how to eat Zhengliang and tasted the food in front of him. He immediately sighed. He was from a small family and had such delicious food. In his eyes, only wealthy families had the opportunity to eat these foods. Seeing Wang Hai performing like this, Zheng Liang generously gave him the remaining cooked sweet potatoes and corn, and told him to give some of them to everyone from Ming Dynasty to taste. As for why it was cooked? It was mainly because Zheng Liang had to make a fortune with these crops first.
