    One day later, King Ning¡¯s fleet arrived at Ceylon Island.

    In the port of Ceylon, Li Shishi came to greet King Ning with the people who had been waiting for him on Ceylon Island for a long time.

    "Your Majesty!"

    Li Shishi looked at King Ning walking off the ship like a dragon walking like a tiger. The current King Ning was completely different from the previous King Ning. The previous King Ning was like a phoenix in distress, or like a giant dragon stranded on the shoal.  Extremely frustrating.

    But now King Ning, like a tiger roaring in the mountains and a dragon king swimming in the sea, has shown the domineering spirit of a generation of emperors.

    "No need to be polite~"

    "You all have worked hard."

    King Ning looked at Li Shishi and others and said in a very easy-going manner.

    "These are all things we should do, and I dare not say it is hard."

    Li Shishi smiled and shook his head.

    "This is the Port of Ceylon?"

    "It is already well-built. Although it is not as good as Songhu Port or Crescent Bay, it is still pretty good."

    Prince Ning nodded, and then looked at the prosperous port in front of him. Along the way, he also saw several large ports. Going down the Yangtze River, he visited Songhu Port, and then arrived at Ryukyu and Nanyang Province.  , I went to many places when I was in Nanyang, and I saw many large and small ports.

    "The Western United Commercial Bank has strong strength and abundant funds. In addition, it has made huge profits here in Ceylon Island. It has enough financial resources to build the Ceylon Port and Western City. Although it only takes half a year, it is already quite rich.  scale.¡±

    Li Shishi nodded, then pointed to the entire port and began to introduce it to Prince Ning in detail.

    The investment in port construction is huge, but it is indispensable. In the future, when they establish their own territory in Africa, they will definitely build their own ports, develop maritime trade, and facilitate travel between the Ming Dynasty and other parts of the West.

    ¡°The investment scale of the entire port is huge. Currently, the Ceylon Governor¡¯s Palace has invested millions of taels of silver in it, and all the cement required is shipped from Daming.¡±

    "But the revenue from the port is very good. Ships traveling from east to west need to pay a berthing fee of ten taels of silver for a day in the port. In addition, because of the geographical location, after the port and city are built, people come here to do business and trade.  There are so many people.¡±

    ¡°There are merchants from the Middle East and Persia, as well as merchants from Tianzhu from the north, merchants from our Ming Dynasty, merchants from Myanmar and Siam from the east, and even Portuguese from Europe.¡±

    "Everyone gathers here on the island of Ceylon to do business and trade. The Government of Ceylon has already made millions of taels of silver just by doing transit trade and charging some tariffs. After all, this investment has already paid off."

    Li Shishi came to Ceylon Island in advance not just for sightseeing. He had figured out many things about Ceylon Island, and he was also very clear about the investment and income of the port.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t the investment too big?¡±

    When King Ning heard this, he immediately frowned. He also knew that he didn't have much money. The construction of this port actually invested so much, which was very stressful for him.

    "It is indeed very big, because the cement needs to be transported from our Daming Dynasty. As for manpower, it is very cheap. They are just slaves. They only need to give them some food to eat and they will not starve to death."

    "But we can take our time. There is no need to build such a big port at the beginning. We can first build a small port with wood, stone, etc., which can accommodate ships."

    Li Shishi also nodded and said.

    The Western United Trading Company is now very wealthy. It has gained tens of millions of taels of silver from the Ceylon Island. Now it is sitting on a treasure land, mining gems, building ports, and engaging in agriculture. It is doing a prosperous business, and it is also preparing to open up Tianzhu to the north.  Gate, colonial Tianzhu.

    "Hmm~"

    "Have you made an appointment with Hu Xian, the Governor of Ceylon, for me?"

    King Ning nodded. He knew his own situation. He had no money. What¡¯s more, if he went to Africa, it would be too far away from the Ming Dynasty. No matter how much money he had, it wouldn¡¯t be enough.

    Cement here in the Ming Dynasty costs a few cents per catty, but when shipped to Ceylon Island, the cement costs more than ten cents per catty. If it is shipped to Africa, it will cost several times more. Not to mention anything else, just  The shipping fee is a big expense.

    When sea trade has huge profits, it is not easy to get someone to help you transport cement. The price must be sufficient, and you also need to owe favors.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of theThere doesn't seem to be much difference in quality, but there are still some differences.

    The descendants of the Lao Zhu family are the descendants of the Lao Zhu family. In the final analysis, the world belongs to their Lao Zhu family.

    "Your Majesty, you're welcome."

    Hu Xian smiled and returned the greeting. Seeing that Prince Ning could keep his composure, he felt more appreciative.

    It is really rare for someone to be so forbearing and sober. Not long ago, Prince Shu came to visit him. When he heard that he only gave him a thousand stones of food, he was so angry that he walked away on the spot, leaving himself with nothing.  Got this food.

    But for King Ning, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Thousands of stones of grain are still grain, and they can feed his people for a while.

    "Governor Hu, I am going to Africa this time to establish a kingdom on the east coast of Africa. After the vassal state is established, I will definitely want your Western United Trading Company to come and invest."

    "I have sent people to explore in Africa in advance. There are a lot of gold and silver reserves. I wonder if I can use these minerals to mortgage you and lend me some silver."

    "You also know that taking tens of thousands of people to Africa will cost too much in all aspects~"

    Prince Ning smiled, and then started to cheat again. He dared to mortgage and borrow money for things he didn't get.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
