I thought I could see the passing ships until dawn and contact them to help convey the message. However, when the bonfire was being held by the sea, there were several lights in the sea, which made my eyes hurt.

Suddenly, two of the lights were missing, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sighed at the same time.

"What is that? Why are there two lights and no longer lighting them?" Xiao Bei asked while searching for the telescope from his bag.

"It's broken." Zhang Xiaobao explained to his sister: "The quality of the big searchlight is not very good due to technology."

"It is a military ship belonging to my Tang Dynasty. There is no such equipment on the merchant ship. If you send a telegram, you can contact us now." Wang Juan immediately judged the ownership of the ship on the sea.

At this time, only the Tang Dynasty had such technology, so there was no need to worry about ships from other countries.

Sure enough, the telegram was sent out and the reply was soon received. There was a gunboat and a supply ship there. It was conducting a regular cruise. When I saw countless fires appearing on the beach, I took a photo. If there was no radio signal here, the boat would send a small boat to check it out.

Now there is no need to worry about the danger of being hit by the reefs by the sea. The two ships were ordered to head towards the lighthouse nearest here.

As long as you contact the lighthouse, other problems will not be problems, and ships will be dispatched soon.

The rest of Zhang Xiaobao's side is waiting. After a few days, the big ship gathered here and took it back together, and there were also things to organize and carry it.

When you come all the way from India, you will naturally not rush to the road without hands, but will trade with them when you meet local people.

The way of trading is not to barter, but to buy it directly. The money from the Tang Dynasty is a hard currency. Any place where there is trade with the Tang Dynasty is willing to use the Tang Dynasty money.

Because the merchants of the Tang Dynasty went elsewhere, one used a very high exchange rate to exchange goods directly with the locals, and the other was slightly lowering the price of their own goods and letting the other party use the Tang Dynasty currency to buy them, but they rarely used the Tang Dynasty money to buy the other party's goods. Unless the other party's goods were very good, such as pearls, gold and other expensive luxury goods.

This has a consequence. The money from the Tang Dynasty is very valuable outside. Many low-tech but good-quality things in the Tang Dynasty are also exported. As long as the Tang Dynasty currency is used, you can directly row a boat to the Tang Dynasty, buy things in the Tang Dynasty, and make a lot of money after returning to your country or tribe.

The exploitation of weak countries by technological and military powers is so direct. There is no need to set up special trade barriers, but the Tang Dynasty still has export tariffs. There is no import tariff, so there is no worry about the impact of other local primary products or raw materials on the related industries of the Tang Dynasty.

Exports are different. The Tang Dynasty's current things are of good quality and contain a certain technical content. Other countries come to buy them and add an export tax. People don't care. They take the things back to their own place and put this part of the tariff money directly into the cost of the commodity sales. Let other buyers bear it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew this and understood it very thoroughly. For example, when they were foreign luxury goods, such as leather bags, the country added an export tax, and when they arrived at home, they added an import tax. It looked very expensive, but there were still people rushing to buy it.

The value of raw materials and working hours is not very high. The high price lies in the brand effect. It seems that if you have such a luxury product, your identity will also improve.

Zhang Xiaobao bought it, buying a lot of luxury goods, including yachts and airplanes, and career needs, but Wang Juan does not wear or wear any brand items. Someone in her family specially made it. She can’t see the brand on her clothes. Even if she pulls a strip of cloth around her neck, others will praise her scarf for being beautiful.

But not everyone can be like her. If you cannot increase the value of a product by your identity, you need to use the value of the product to increase your identity.

This is the case with the countries and regions that have contacts with the Tang Dynasty. The cost of raw materials does not matter, but what is important is that it comes from the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Bei flipped through the bag and didn't turn it out. What he turned out was a diamond rough stone as big as a fist, which had not been cut and processed with a cloth.

She watched the bonfire and praised: "It's so cheap. It's so big. It's only sold for 40 stakes. If you take it back, you can make at least 500 glass knives."

Xiao Hai next to him sighed and said, "If you don't work hard, you can make at least three thousand glass knives with such a large diamond. If the production process is good, you can also increase the number."

"That's not getting rich?" Xiaoqiang replied in an agreement.

"I'll calculate how much a glass knife costs." The young man also joined in the fun.

Xu Yilong looked at her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and discussed: "I will use ten thousand glass knives to exchange for you when I go back, can I do it?"

"Are you stupid or treat us as fools? Let's just talk about it. I really think we will use this diamond to make a glass knife?" Xiao Bei asked Xu Yilong with dissatisfaction.

"I heard you want to make a glass knife."

"You believe it when you hear it? Didn't you buy two yuan? Go back and get rich. Remember to pay back the money. The profit is 10% profit. Calculate it every day. You borrow 220 jin from us and buy a lot of things, right?"

Xiaobei mentioned the matter of Xu Yilong borrowing money. Xu Yilong did not bring money with him, so he followed the team and did not spend money on food, drink and food. When trading with others, he had to borrow money from Xiaobei.

I borrowed 220 guan and bought a lot of local good things. After I went back, the value could increase by nearly three hundred times after processing. Now he hopes to get home soon.

"Yes, yes, 10% of the profit." Xu Yilong replied, and at the same time he was calculating in his mind, but he couldn't figure out what it would be in dozens of days.

"Just admit it, I'll remind you first. Brother Xiaohai forget it. If it's 100 days, then you will need to pay more than 13,780 times the 220-ton carats." Xiaobei said to Xu Yilong with a smile.

Xu Yilong's face was bitter and nodded: "It won't be a hundred days. It's fifteen days since I borrowed money. As soon as I set foot on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I will immediately find a money house to give you the money. It will probably take fifty days. Just calculate it in fifty days. How much is it?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaohai.

Xiao Hai frowned, found a branch, pulled it up on the ground, slashed it twice, shook his head, took out abacus from his bag, and beat it with dozens of breaths. After dozens of breaths, he said to Xu Yilong: "Fifty days. Ten percent of the interest rate rolls every day, which is twice as high as 117.39."

Xu Yilong couldn't say anything, so he stretched out his thumb to compete with Xiaohai.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also looked at their younger brother Xiaohai with relief. If they wanted to say it, they would do it, but they were not as skilled as Xiaohai and not as fast as Xiaohai.

Of course, what made the two happier was that their younger brother Xiaohai was indeed very talented in mathematics, but he did not learn stupidity. If he only had numbers and formulas in his mind all day long, the two would take compulsory measures.

When Xu Yilong heard that it was only 100 times more than fifty days, he relaxed in his heart. More than 100 times could bear it. If he counted more than 30,000 guan, it was better than 13,000 times more than 10,000 guan in a hundred days.

Although the family cannot afford 30,000 yuan, they can go to the bank immediately after they go ashore, mortgage the things and pay the money back to Xiaobei and the others. If the price is severely suppressed when the loan is paid, they can also use the family’s reputation to borrow, or even ask others to borrow.

No matter how much money you owe Xiaobei and the others, the interest rate is too high, and it will be more profitable.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't care about the transaction between Xu Yilong and his younger brothers and sisters. They believed that the little guys would not specifically cheat Xu Yilong. They must have calculated the time to go back before. If it took 100 days, the interest rate would definitely not be so high.

The two of them were more happy and relieved about this transaction. Are Xiaobei and the others short of money? Of course, they are not short of money. What they are worried about now is how to make good use of money, not to make more money, and how to improve the lives of children in the Tang Dynasty.

Giving Xu Yilong an interest means that the little guys are sensible and it is nothing to borrow 220 guan or give Xu Yilong the money.

But then Xu Yilong lacks a sense of accomplishment. When he reaches the country, people in his circle will look down on him. He thinks that he has taken advantage of Xiao Bei and the others, not his own ability.

If it is done according to the current situation, Xu Yilong took the risk, which was his own judgment and choice. When he went back, he could pat his chest with the people in the circle and say that under such a high interest rate, he bet and he believed in his own vision.

In this way, the old man Xu Jian will be happy.

This time, I didn’t get enough of the battle, but I made a lot of money. I went all the way through India, except for the tribes I collected before, all the others traded with Indians.

The method of transaction is to buy local good things with money first, and then sell the endless canned food and other consumables in the team to locals who have just obtained the money. The selling is not very expensive, and it is half cheaper than the merchants.

Anyway, I can’t use up all things, so it’s not worth it when I go back.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team waited for six days before gathering up the ships that could take them back. Some were ships that had just come out of the Tang Dynasty to voyage for trade. They carried things on the ship and unloaded the things, leaving a few people behind. With the cooperation of the guards, they could trade with the local area so that the ship could carry Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan back empty.

Some people also had to load the goods and return to the Tang Dynasty merchant ship after countless days from outside. They also unloaded the goods and placed them in the local area. After sending Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team back, they would take a short trip.

No one asked for compensation, they were all voluntary.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not talk about the state's compensation. They recorded every merchant ship and after they returned, they would provide some good solutions or technologies for merchant ships.

The people from the tribe who had been incorporated by Tang and followed the team to the previous recruitment were finally able to feel what a strong country was.

Especially the former tribe leader Seymotamohe, he knew what this matter represented. It was the cohesion of a country. If it was replaced by his own tribe and his own country, this would never happen. Unless it was threatened by force, who would be willing to give up his own interests easily?

"It seems that in no time, the Tang Dynasty will occupy all the places around them. At least I can see them when I am alive. It's so powerful."

When he came to the boat and watched the people on the boat look happy to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team, Seymo Tamahe murmured with emotion.
