Gan Ning returned safely from Shuanggui and the Aiduan Kingdom.

Lu Bu personally led a team to welcome the hero Gan Ning. After seeing Lu Bu, Gan Ning excitedly reported: "Lord, this business trip has been a complete success! Our ceramics and glass products are so popular! They have been snatched away by them!"

When Lu Bu smiled and said nothing, he heard Gan Ning's words.

Of course, ceramics and silk have always been loved by Westerners, and it is normal to be robbed.

However, glass products are not necessarily the case.

In fact, in the original historical trajectory, the West invented glass much earlier than the East.

Haven’t you seen that during the Tang Dynasty, people still used bronze mirrors?

Now, because of Lu Bu's time travel, the advent of glass products has been hundreds of years ahead of schedule.

I believe that the West will soon invent glass, but even so, it can be sold for a long time.

Lu Bu believes that even if the West can invent glass, the technology will not be as good as theirs in a short period of time.

According to Lu Bu's request, they bought the food from three major ships.

As for the others, all purchased goods that were most expensive in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but were very cheap in the Shuanggui and Anxi Kingdom, as well as some necessities for the development of Jiangdong.

The most difficult thing about commercial trade with the Shromium and the Slumbus is the issue of language communication.

Because both sides did not understand the language, when Gan Ning communicated with his subordinates with merchants from Shuanggui and Anxu Kingdom, they were talking to each other, and no one understood what the other party was saying.

Because of this problem, both sides almost caused misunderstandings and conflicts.

Fortunately, both Shuanggui and Anxu Kingdom attach great importance to commercial development and hope to open maritime commercial trade with the mysterious Eastern countries. Therefore, they were very friendly to Ganning's caravans, and there was no major conflict in the end.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Ganning's huge naval power.

Before leaving, Gan Ning and his caravan even alarmed the royal family of Shuanggui and Anxu Kingdom, and their royal family also brought a letter of state to Lu Bu.

After receiving the letter of nationality, Lu Bu couldn't help but frown. It was full of birds singing, and he couldn't understand it at all!

But it doesn’t matter. If you don’t decide on internal affairs, ask Baidu, and if you don’t decide on external affairs, ask Google!

So, Lu Bu came to Modern with two letters of state and translated it with the help of Baidu.

It turned out that the two countries wanted to start long-term maritime trade with the Eastern Wu. Lu Bu naturally wanted such a request and readily agreed.

Finally, Lu Bu wrote reply letters to Shuanggui and Anxiguo respectively, and translated them through online translations, preparing to take them directly to the next time you go on a business trip.

It seems that it is necessary to set up a special Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and talents who are proficient in languages ​​in various countries must be cultivated as soon as possible.

Lu Bu handed over this matter to Xun Yu.

By the way, not only should a Ministry of Foreign Affairs be established, but a chamber of commerce also need to be established.

Gan Ning was a navy general, so he had to travel to Fusang, Shuanggui and Anxiguo several times, which was a bit useless.

In the future, the navy will have to train, the navy will have to fight, etc., and these things need to be done by Gan Ning.

Therefore, we must find a special person to be responsible for maritime business affairs.

After considering it, Lu Bu decided to let Zhao Zilong's elder brother Zhao Zihu take this position.

Under the care of the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo, Zhao Zihu's condition has long been cured. In the past six months, Zhao Zihu has been living in idleness.

Zhao Zihu is Zhao Zilong's elder brother. In terms of character, he is as picky as Zhao Zilong.

In terms of ability, Lu Bu secretly observed it and felt that it was completely available.

Since that's the case, let's give him the job to try.

Lu Bu found Zhao Zilong, told him his decision, and then asked Zhao Zihu about his opinion.

Zhao Zihu was very moved when he heard that Lu Bu was actually preparing to hand over such an important thing to him.

Zhao Zihu was a little worried that he would not be able to do the job well, after all, he did not have much experience in business.

Seeing Zhao Zihu's reaction, Lu Bu directly handed over the work to Zhao Zihu with confidence.

It doesn’t matter if you have a business experience. You can learn slowly. The most important thing is that you have such a strong character and can completely trust. It is really hard to find a candidate.

In Lu Bu's opinion, Zhao Zilong is simply the most suitable candidate.

...

Two months later, good news came from Fusang that the gold and silver mines had been released.

Two ships of purified gold and silver were sent to Fusang. Lu Bu looked at the quality and was quite satisfied.

Now that gold and silver are available, the circulation of gold and silver can be initiated.

Especially silver!

Before this, gold and silver, as precious metals, were more of a collection value.

The money is still circulating on the market.

But the denomination of big money is too low, just like buying and selling ten thousand slaves, it costs 100 million a lot of money. Even if you use a car to load, how many cars do you need to load?

Whether it is inventory or transportation, it is extremely inconvenient.

Now, after Lu Bu has a silver mine, he can promote silver as a general currency.

Promoting silver as currency has many benefits.

As a currency promoter, Lu Bu can get so many benefits from it.

The wealth that can be obtained is even more unimaginable.

So Lu Bu immediately summoned people and began to print silver ingots.

In order to prevent private printing from happening among the people, Lu Bu made several innovations in the process of printing silver ingots, making it difficult for the outside world to imitate.

At the same time, Lu Bu decided to open a money shop in Jiangdong.

Ancient money houses were equivalent to modern banks.

The way money shops make money is almost the same as today's banks, mainly by issuing loans to collect interest.

But now people deposit money in banks and the bank returns interest. However, in ancient times, when you deposit money in banks, the bank not only does not give you interest, but also charges a certain storage fee!

After having a money deal, many transactions do not need to be completed through big money or real money. They can be completed directly through silver notes, saving a lot of money for printing and a lot of time.

Not only that, Lu Bu can also accumulate a lot of money through the money house to develop Jiangdong.

There are so many benefits for money shops, and Lu Bu had already opened a money shop.

However, if you want to open a money house, you must have enough capital.

In the past, Jiangdong was too difficult to develop, let alone open a money shop.

But now it’s different. Now Lu Bu has a gold and silver mine in Fusang, and his waist is straightened up, so he naturally has the confidence and courage to open a money house.

It is now a war-torn period, and the money shop is probably only able to operate in a small area in Jiangdong, but for Lu Bu, it is enough in advance.

Lu Bu thought about this matter and finally decided to leave it to Lu Su.

Lu Su's ability is beyond doubt, and he can even believe in others' mistakes.

After nearly a year of being a secretary, Lu Su's ability was also developed.

Lu Bu was extremely relieved to leave this matter to Lu Su.
Chapter completed!
