    On the streets of Mogadishu, Du Mingen, who had been here for two days, was wandering around casually. This was his usual habit.

    Every time you go to a place, you must first establish a good relationship with the local government. Basically, you can get it done by sending a set of glass products. You don¡¯t need to worry too much, and there are very few people who are so greedy that they want to eat Du Mingen¡¯s entire fleet.  people.

    Of course, when we were in Tianzhu, we still met such a greedy local snake, who bluntly wanted half of Du Mingen's ship and cargo. As a result, Du Mingen would naturally tell him why the flowers are red.

    The Miyun cannon on the ship was not made of clay. After a heavy bombardment, the other party surrendered honestly and paid Du Mingen a sum of gold as compensation.

    After establishing a good relationship with the local government, you will usually try to get the surrounding information from the local government, such as what specialties there are, what minerals there are, what powerful countries are around, what things are rich here, etc.

    This information is very important, as it is related to future route trade issues.

    Du Mingen came out to open up routes not to do good deeds, but to prepare for subsequent overseas trade. In the final analysis, it was all about money, because only money can allow businessmen to travel thousands of miles on the sea. In addition, maybe  There are only the gods here who talk about it.

    After getting some information from the government, Du Mingen would go around to take a look, stroll around, and learn about it himself. However, this kind of understanding was often limited to local products.

    ¡°As expected of a place rich in frankincense and myrrh, the frankincense and myrrh here are of top quality and the price is extremely cheap!¡±

    Du Mingen was walking around casually, and the two things he saw the most were frankincense and myrrh, which are specialties here.

    These two things are also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. They were first introduced to the land of China by Tianzhu people during the Three Kingdoms period. They are extremely valuable traditional Chinese medicines.

    Frankincense is a resin secreted by the olive plant Frankincense tree. It has many functions. It has the functions of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain. It also has a good effect on women's irregular menstruation and amenorrhea. In addition, it can also be used to treat rheumatic pain.  Said it has many uses.

    It is an extremely valuable Chinese medicinal material in the Ming Dynasty. Because only a small amount was introduced from the Western Regions, Nanyang and other places, the price is extremely expensive, and the price is comparable to gold.

    Myrrh is also a resin secreted by the olive plant Eucalyptus. Its main function is to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It also has the effects of relieving pain, reducing swelling and promoting muscle growth.

    Similar to frankincense, myrrh is also an extremely valuable Chinese medicinal material in the Ming Dynasty, and the price is very expensive.

    "Yes, let's take a boatload of frankincense and myrrh and distribute it when we go back!"

    Du Mingen was surrounded by followers who nodded and said.

    The advantage of going overseas is that you can increase your knowledge here. Many things that are common overseas are so expensive in Ming Dynasty that they are worth gold.

    When they were in Myanmar, they saw a lot of jade and jade. There were so many jade and jade in Myanmar that even some bad jade and jade were used to pave roads, and the price was very cheap.

    In Ceylon, gems are produced here. There are many kinds of gems. The quality is very good and the price is very cheap. A few glass beads can be exchanged for a bunch of gems.

    Now we come to Mogadishu, where the bones are tied up. There are a lot of frankincense and myrrh here, and the value is very cheap. When these things are shipped back to the Ming Dynasty, they are almost as good as gold.

    "I heard that after returning to Daming this time, you plan to go overseas to do business on your own?"

    Du Mingen looked at Pang Rulong and asked with a smile.

    "Hmm~"

    "Only after going to the sea did I realize that making money is so simple. It is nothing more than selling silk, porcelain, glass products and sugar from our Ming Dynasty overseas, and then selling overseas spices, jade, gems, jade, coral, and jewelry.  , agarwood, etc. were sold back to our Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°A round trip and a boat can easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and you won¡¯t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.¡±

    "The funny thing is that we used to dig food in the ground, facing the loess all year round, and we didn't even have enough to eat. If it hadn't been for Mr. Liu, we might have starved to death."

    Pang Rulong couldn't help but sigh.

    Like Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou and others, he was born in poverty. Because he went to the capital during the winter, he was recruited into Xishan Coal Industry to make briquettes. Later, because he was willing to study hard, he entered the Maritime Academy to study, so his life trajectory changed so dramatically.  The change.

    ¡°It¡¯s good to have ideassp; Du Mingen looked at the diamond, which was only the size of a soybean, and couldn't help but shake his head and said.

    This thing looks shiny, but its size is limited, and it doesn¡¯t seem to be of much use.

    "No, no, it's very useful. It's very hard. It's the hardest thing in the world. It can be used to cut things."

    When Faisal heard this, he immediately started explaining again and again.

    "Okay, take some back with you~"

    After listening to his explanation, Du Mingen pondered for a while and decided to buy some back. It didn't take up much space anyway, and maybe it would be really useful.

    "Dear guest, look at these slaves. These slaves are all strong slaves. It would be great to buy some to help farm and work."

    Faisal successfully sold ivory and diamonds, and then quickly pointed to the black Kunlun slaves behind him and said, these Kunlun slaves were all tied up with ropes, basically without any clothes on their bodies, and they looked naked like this.  come out.

    "Kunlun slave?"

    Du Mingen had actually noticed these Kunlun slaves for a long time. Now that he heard Feisal's words and glanced at them, he couldn't help but be speechless. The slave trade here was so bare-bones that there was not even a fig leaf.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
