Two days later, Du Yuhui and the children landed on Luzon Island, after all, these places are not developed now, it can be said that they are full of thorns, it is indeed not easy to find a place, and although there are people living here this year, they are all small, such as Du Yuhui and their fleet drew a map along Luzon Island before they found three settlements, of course, they are not savages, originally Du Yuhui thought that there was no one living on it, but now it seems that he is lonely and unheard, Then Du Yuhui found the largest living area to land, and there was actually a place for ships to dock here, which also made Du Yuhui very happy, you must know that this way you can trade, and his ships bring all the good things of the Great Song Dynasty, silk porcelain, etc., anyway, there is silver, you can buy a batch on the market in Lin'an Mansion and bring it, this is needless to say!"
Find someone to ask if there are any businesses here that can understand us!"
After getting off the boat, Du Yuhui said to Shunzi: Shunzi took people to be busy, Du Yuhui and others looked at the situation here on the dock, although there is a dock, the dock can only dock three ships at a time, and this is a dock, the place where people live is 2 miles away from here, and they also made a wooden fence to enclose, maybe that's what they call the city wall!
Or do you have to pay taxes when you go to the city?"
Second Young Master, they are merchants here, this leader is called Muraba, they said that wherever the ships come from, they will trade with them after they dock, we can understand our words, and Muraba can still speak."
Shunzi came over with a few people and said: Du Yuhui understands, because this is a port anyway, so there must be merchants here, once a ship docks, they will take the initiative to come over to trade, otherwise Shunzi They will not find someone so quickly."
Hello Mulaba, we are from the Great Song Dynasty and have brought silk porcelain, I don't know if you have anything to trade with us!"
Du Yuhui asked: "Hello shopkeeper Du, listen to your servant say that you are here for the first time, we have spices, tortoiseshell and pearls and gems here that you need in the Great Song Dynasty, we can exchange, I don't know what you need?"
”Muraba said in very stiff Chinese: Du Yuhui looked at what he was wearing, not to mention the silk and satin on his body, and he also had a gemstone ring on his hand, Du Yuhui understood that businessmen, especially those in Luzon and other places, could make the greatest profits because they were not colonized and there were no wars, but Du Yuhui was not interested in these and asked: "In this way, I will give you a silk first, and you can find a few people to show me the way, I want to go into the mountains to find something, if I find it, I hope to trade those things, How about the price after that?
”Du Yuhui asked, "Mountainous areas?
What is there to find in this mountain!
But since you want to go, I won't stop you!
”After Muraba finished speaking, he muttered a few words to the people behind him, and after a while, one of them ran away, and soon he recruited 2 guides!"
Brother Shunzi went to get a piece of silk for Muraba, and you and Du Yu are waiting for me on the fleet, and Brother Heizi and I will take people into the mountain, it's just early enough today!"
Du Yuhui said, "Second Young Master, what are you looking for here?"
Why haven't I heard you mention it!
”Du pre asked, "I'll tell you when I find it." ”Du Yuhui said: After a while, the people on the boat sent down a silk Muraba and happily paid the local currency to the two guides, and everyone began to enter the mountain, yes, Du Yuhui is here to find rubber, in fact, he has seen those huge rubber trees on the island on the sea, but we also know that Wangshan runs dead horses!
With no one to lead the way, you can't just get off the boat and go straight to the front line!
Isn't that exhausting!
After having a guide, Du Yuhui led a team of 50 people into the mountain, and for about three hours, "Do you have this kind of tree here, except for a large area here?"
”Soon Du Yuhui found the rubber trees that naturally grew on the island, and then he asked the guide: "Okay, you don't have to compare, so let's go back first, tomorrow I will give Muraba a piece of cloth, and let the old guy come with us, I have seen this matter, and I will negotiate directly with him!"
”Du Yuhui looked at the two guides and said: Of course, they will lead the way, but the communication is still poor!
Everyone returned to the dock in the evening, and Muraba also rushed over after getting the news, and also prepared local food for Du Yuhui and them, Du Yuhui understood that the silk seemed to be worth a lot of silver, otherwise Muraba would not be so attentive!"
Shopkeeper Du, how did you find what you need?"
After Muraba put the food away, he asked straight to the point: "I found it, so Murapa, tomorrow you go with me to see that kind of tree, I need you to provide me with the liquid in that tree, that is, make a hole in the bark, and then I can collect a kind of liquid left by the tree, how about it no problem!"
”Du Yuhui said: "The liquid of the tree, does the shopkeeper Du need that kind of thing?"
So how do you trade?
”Muraba was silent for a moment and asked: "Hehehe, I won't let you suffer, in addition, I saw that you all have that kind of tree here, I will teach you a way, help me collect this liquid, and then you fill it for me in a wooden barrel, this time you can get me as much as you want, we will trade as much as you want, of course I will stay here for 10 days, but what!"
I'll tell you the approximate time of my next visit, so you can hire someone to collect these things for me in advance!
”Du Yuhui said: "But shopkeeper Du, you give the price first, and I'll see if I have a profit?"
You know I'm going to hire someone too, right?
”Muraba said, "Muraba, you have also seen the silk I gave you, what do you think?"
Is it a top grade?
”Du Yuhui asked: "Well, the texture of the silk brought by the shopkeeper Du is very good, but I don't know how much of the kind of tree liquid you want this person can collect in a day, and how much you want, to be honest, I haven't done this deal!"
”Muraba said: Du Yuhui thought to himself that you were the first person in the world to do this business!"
So be it!
Tomorrow you go up the mountain with me, and then you take some people and let them take barrels and other things, and now there are no boats coming, I let three ships dock, and there are vessels I have prepared on board, that is, large vats, let's take the jars and calculate, tomorrow we will see the situation, and then we will decide, a horse of silk should be exchanged for several jars of the liquid of the tree, and there is also porcelain can also be exchanged, and we will talk about it tomorrow. ”Du Yuhui asked: "Okay, I'll find someone tonight, if you don't let me accompany me, let me make a little money, I'll do this business!"
”Muraba said: In fact, he understands very well, looking for locals in this place, the silver given is not much, but the silk and porcelain are still very valuable!
And Du Yuhui also knows that since this place already has a port, then there must be people living in the inland, but I don't know how many people, after the two agreed, the next day according to the agreement, early in the morning Du Yuhui took Muraba, and the people he brought with bottles and cans, and after arriving at the destination, Du Yuhui said: "See if it's these trees, and then you see, cut the bark with a knife like this, and there will be white liquid flowing out of it, I want this, quickly take a wooden barrel and continue, how about Murapa, It's easy!
”Du Yuhui demonstrated for a while and asked: "Oh, I said shopkeeper Du, if you had said that you were looking for this thing, in fact, there are such trees less than half an hour away from our dock, and there are quite a lot of them!"
”Muraba said: Du Yuhui thought to himself when he heard it, Lao Tzu was wrong, when looking for a guide, you should ask Muraba, they are locals, this your sister wants to pretend to be forced, but he hit the south wall, and then he said with a smile: "The closer to the dock, the better, you tell me, the big vat on the ship I showed you yesterday, I exchanged a silk or porcelain for you a vat of liquid, you just say do it!"
And you let them work first, and then go back to the place you said, and we're doing a long deal, how about my ship come once every four months, and see how much you can prepare for me?
In addition, I will leave you enough vats this time, and next time, how many vats will you get me, anyway, there are a number of vats left for me, you tell me what you want, and I will bring you what I will bring you next time?
Mulaba, what do you think of this deal?
”Du Yuhui asked: "Deal, although it is the first time for us to do this business, but I have handed over to Du, the shopkeeper, your friend." ”Muraba said: The reason why he agreed so cheerfully was that he saw the liquid flowing from the rubber tree, which soon filled a small wooden barrel, and he knew it!

If it was something else, he didn't dare to say it, and this kind of thing can be said to be everywhere, and he was a local businessman, and he traveled to many places, and he knew where these things were!
So he agreed, of course, for Du Yuhui, he offered a high price, after all, a piece of silk!
Porcelain is also relatively large, but what Du Yuhui needs is this kind of thing, he is not bad for money, and the most critical point is that after someone knows the use of this kind of thing in the future, the price of this kind of thing should also be considered, and a fleet like him came out, although there were many merchants in the Great Song Dynasty, but they were mainly based on the existing things that could be traded, and the purchase price of strange things soared, which made people a little daunting, then it would be good, right!"
Then Muraba, let's go back, I ordered someone to get the jar down, you find a place to put it, I don't care about this, and then from now on, I will give you 20 horses of silk first, and we will settle it once a day, I don't owe you a penny!"
Du Yuhui said
