Gan Ning led the fleet and returned safely from the Frost Kingdom and the Sabbath Country.
Lu Bu personally led the team to greet the hero Gan Ning, and after seeing Lu Bu, Gan Ning excitedly reported: "My lord, this business was a complete success, our ceramics and glass products were so popular that they were robbed."
Hearing Gan Ning's words, Lu Bu smiled silently.
Of course, ceramics and silk have always been loved by Westerners, and it is normal for them to be robbed.
However, this is not necessarily the case with glass products.
In fact, in the original historical trajectory, the West invented glass much earlier than the East.
When you didn't see it in the Tang Dynasty, did you still use bronze mirrors?
And now, because of Lu Bu's crossing, the advent of glass products has been advanced by hundreds of years.
I believe that the West will soon be able to invent glass, but even so, it will be sold for a long time.
Lu Bu believes that even if the West can invent glass, in a short period of time, the craftsmanship will not be as good as theirs.
At Lü Bu's request, they bought three large ships of grain.
As for the rest, all of them bought the most expensive goods in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they were very cheap in the Shuanggui country and the rest country, and there were some necessities for the development of Jiangdong.
One of the most difficult aspects of commercial trade with the Frost Kingdom and the Rest Country is the problem of language communication.
Because of the language barrier between the two sides, when Gan Ning and his subordinates communicated with the merchants of the Frost Gui Kingdom and the Sabbath Country, they were talking like chickens and ducks, and neither of them understood what the other was saying.
Because of this problem, the two sides almost caused a misunderstanding and a contradiction.
Fortunately, both the Frost Kingdom and the Rest Country attach great importance to commercial development, and very much hope to be able to open maritime commercial trade with the mysterious Eastern countries, so they have a very friendly attitude towards Ganning's caravan, and there is 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 families of the Frost Gui Kingdom and the Rest Kingdom, and their royal family also brought a letter of state to Lü Bu.
After getting the national credentials, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning, it was full of bird language, and he couldn't understand it at all But it doesn't matter, ask Baidu if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Google if you don't decide on foreign affairs So, Lu Bu took two letters of state and came to modern times to translate them with the help of Baidu.
It turned out that the two countries wanted to open up long-term maritime trade with Soochow, and Lu Bu naturally couldn't ask for such a request, so he readily agreed.
In the end, Lu Bu wrote a reply letter to Shuang Guiguo and Anxiguo respectively, and translated it through an online translation, preparing to bring it directly when he was going to do business next time.
It seems that it is necessary to set up a special Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it is necessary to train people who are proficient in various Chinese languages as soon as possible.
Lu Bu handed over this matter to Xun Yu to deal with.
By the way, not only a Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be established, but also a Chamber of Commerce.
Gan Ning is a general of the navy, so he ran several times to Fusang, Shuanggui and Anxi, which is a bit overkill.
In the future, the navy will have to train, the navy will fight, etc., these things need to be done by Gan Ning.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a dedicated person to take care of maritime business affairs.
After thinking about it, Lu Bu decided to let Zhao Zilong's eldest brother Zhao Zihu take this position.
Under the care of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Zhao Zihu's condition has long been cured, and in the past six months, Zhao Zihu has been living idle.
Zhao Zihu is Zhao Zilong's eldest brother, and in terms of character, he is like Zhao Zilong, and he is not picky.
In terms of ability, Lu Bu secretly observed it and felt that it was completely usable.
In that case, let him try this job.
Lu Bu found Zhao Zilong, told him his decision, and then asked Zhao Zihu's opinion.
Zhao Zihu was very moved when he heard that Lu Bu was ready to hand over such an important matter to himself.
Zhao Zihu was a little worried that he would not be able to do this job well, after all, he did not have much experience in business.
Seeing Zhao Zihu's reaction, Lu Bu directly relieved Zhao Zihu to do this work.
It doesn't matter if you have business experience, you can learn slowly, the most important thing is that the character is so strong, and it is really difficult to find a person who can be completely trusted.
In Lu Bu's opinion, Zhao Zilong is simply the most suitable candidate.
Two months later, good news came from Fuso, and the gold and silver mines were all out of the mine.
Fusang sent two boatloads of purified gold and silver, and Lu Bu looked at the fineness and was quite satisfied.
Now that we have gold and silver, we can start the circulation of gold and silver.
Especially silver Before that, gold and silver, as precious metals, were more collectible.
There is still a lot of money circulating in the market.
But the denomination of big money is too low, just like buying and selling 10,000 slaves, it costs 100 million yuan at every turn, even if it is loaded in a car, how many cars will be loaded Whether it is counting or transporting, it is extremely inconvenient.
And now, after Lu Bu has a silver mine, he can promote silver as a universal currency.

There are many benefits to promoting silver as currency.
As a currency promoter, Lu Bu can get too many benefits from it.
The wealth that can be obtained is even more unimaginable.
So, Lu Bu immediately gathered people and began to print silver ingots.
In order to prevent private printing, 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, Lü Bu decided to open a money bank in Jiangdong.
The ancient money bank is equivalent to the modern bank.
The way money was made was similar to that of today's banks, mainly by issuing loans and collecting interest.
But nowadays people deposit money in the bank, and the bank pays you interest, but in ancient times, when you put money in the bank, the bank not only does not give you interest, but also charges a certain amount of custody fees With the bank, many transactions do not need to be completed through large money or real money, but can be completed directly through silver tickets, which saves a lot of cost of printing large money, and will also save a lot of time.
Not only that, but Lu Bu can also accumulate a lot of money through the money village to develop Jiangdong.
There are so many benefits of the money bank, and Lu Bu has already opened the money bank before.
But if you want to open a bank, you must have enough capital.
In the past, the development of Jiangdong seemed to be stretched, let alone the opening of a money bank.
But now it's different, now that Lu Bu has a gold and silver mine in Fusang, his waist is up, and he naturally has the confidence and courage to open a money bank.
It is now a time of war, and it is estimated that Qianzhuang can only operate in a small area in Jiangdong, but for Lu Bu, the early stage is enough.
Lu Bu thought about this matter and finally decided to hand it over to Lu Su to do.
Lu Su's ability is undoubted, and he can be trusted.
After being a secretary for nearly a year, Lu Su's ability has also been cultivated.
This matter was handed over to Lu Su to do, and Lu Bu was extremely relieved
