    Fang Xian hesitated for a while, then asked: "Sir Governor, can I trust you?"

    This time the governor did his part: "Of course, although I am not a businessman, I can swear by my title and surname."

    "Okay." Fang Xian said bluntly, "This time, my fleet is fully loaded with 25 warehouses of oysters."

    "25Cang" The governor's domineering aura disappeared in an instant. He only felt that he had entered a world of oysters, and he could never finish eating them in his lifetime

    "I would like to hand over these oysters to you, the Governor, to cultivate them yourself."

    "Thisthisshould be handed over to the Governor-General Ji'adin's Mansion, or" The Governor swallowed deeply.

    "You personally, Lord Governor, haven't asked your name yet?"

    "Twenty-three? Governor, just call me twenty-three."

    "" Fang Xian counted on his fingers. It seems that Governor is a surname and Twenty-Three is a given name. This family seems to be very profound.

    The Governor is a sensible person and knows that no good thing comes in vain: "Mr. Fang, what are your conditions?"

    "Help me keep the secret of the oysters, help me keep the surviving oysters, and make this port my exclusive port." Fang Xian said three conditions in one breath, each one more extreme than the last.

    The governor understood instantly, his eyes widened, and he calmly said: "Are you bribing me?!"

    "Yes, use 25 bins of oysters."

    "Okay, I accept it, for the sake of the oysters!" The governor held the Dongfang captain's hands with tears in his eyes, "From now on, this port only allows the Fang family navy to trade here, and other fleets can only call the port for supplies.  It¡¯s forbidden to set foot in the town!¡±

    Now Fang Xian was stunned. He originally thought that the governor would struggle for a while and then accept the condition sheepishly. How dare you say that accepting bribes is such a happy thing?

    Actually, this is not something that can be blamed on the Governor. Bribing the Governor is a setting in the game.  All Governors will accept it as a matter of course.

    Using oysters to directly bribe the governor to fill the occupancy is also a risky move.

    In the current situation, in order to block the news, destroying the entire ship's oysters is the safest way.

    But in this gamegoods cannot be destroyed.  It won't go bad.

    There are only two ways to make a warehouse of goods completely disappear.

    The first is to sell.

    The second is to make the ship carrying the cargo disappear directly.

    If you sell it, someone will find it out, which will destroy the boat and make you feel bad.  Fang Xian simply threw it to the governor and asked him to help him keep the oyster roots and make the port full.  Even if other forces find out about the changes here, they won't have much interest in fighting for it. After all, the development of this port is too low, and other forces don't know that gold trade goods like oysters will be here.

    Therefore, Fang Xian chose to use bribery to occupy the port. If he continues to invest, as the development of Jiading increases, some new products will definitely appear.  Instead, it will attract the attention of Kuhn Chamber of Commerce and Preyla Chamber of Commerce.

    After meeting with the Governor on the 23rd, Fang Xian had to pull out sailors holding various girls from the tavern, on the bed, behind the hut, etc., and forced them to transport the goods from the ship to the Governor's Mansion.

    Such a grand and high-profile bribery decisively attracted the attention of the local exchange manager. Ji'adin's exchange had never done any big business.  Since it can only trade rice, the exchange has gradually become a food store for local people.  Seeing the Chinese fleet loaded with cargo, this lean, semi-bald European wearing small round glasses naturally couldn't hold it any longer.

    Fang Xian was not honest either, he kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings, fearing that someone might sneak away a box of goods.  Just like the Dutch in the Middle Ages who had a monopoly on how to make mirrors, as long as these things were leaked out, it would be equivalent to losing tons of gold coins.  Naturally, Dalba and Zhang Dashun were ordered to supervise the work along the road.

    The shopkeeper of the exchange briefly observed the three people, and after confirming his idea, he came to Zhang Dashun's side.

    "Dear Admiral, welcome to Ji'adin." The shopkeeper restrained his smile and tried to maintain his temperament to avoid too much flattery.

    "Oh? Admiral" Zhang Dashun was stunned for a moment, and then his whole body was in a daze. The fat man rubbed his belly and laughed, "What did you call me?"

    "My Lord Admiral."

    "Okay okay" Zhang Dashun was very happy to be called, but when he turned around and saw the eldest young man of the Fang family, he immediately broke into a cold sweat again. He hurriedly wiped his forehead and whispered, "I'm just a part-time worker.  The admiral of the fleet is over there"

    The shopkeeper paused for a moment, wiped his lenses, and looked at it again with squinted eyes.

    "It's so abnormal. Since it's a caravan, the admiral should obviously be a fat middle-aged man with a fat head."Yes, how could you be so young?

    The shopkeeper began to question his own judgment, so he simply asked the fat man: "Then, can I call you the adjutant?"

    "This is okay!" Zhang Dashun was confused again, "If I hadn't led the way with my rich experience, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to reach Ji'ading."

    "I admire, I admire, accurate surveyors are the most professional navigators!"

    "It's a compliment from the shopkeeper, haha, Zheng He, do you know? Back then I"

    ""

    After listening to a lot of nonsense, the shopkeeper finally chose an inappropriate time to interrupt the topic abruptly.

    "Adjutant, I really can't think of what kind of goods you can send here from a distant country through all the hardships"

    Zhang Dashun has many shortcomings, but fortunately he has a very good IQ, and obviously he will not be fooled so easily.

    "Actually, I don't know about this." Zhang Dashun adopted the usual tactic used by officials in those days. "The shopkeeper can directly negotiate with the admiral. I should not be involved in this matter."

    The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, Eastern people are really smart.

    Just as he was talking, the goods were almost shipped, Governor Twenty-three also came in person and hugged Admiral Fang cordially again.

    "I see." The shopkeeper finally understood that bribery was commonplace.

    ¡°Subsequently, the governor also discovered the shopkeeper and led Fang Xian over to introduce him.

    "Mr. Shopkeeper, this is Fang, the admiral of the Fang family navy."

    "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." The shopkeeper showed a restrained smile again and shook hands with Fang Xian.

    "I guess your name is also Twenty-Three." After expressing friendship, Fang Xian made a bold guess.

    The governor smiled and said: "Yes, the shopkeeper's full name is Twenty-three Shopkeeper."

    "It's really easy to be a parent." Fang Xian secretly complained.

    After the introduction, the governor said: "By the way, shopkeeper, I just signed a contract with Admiral Fang. Now Ji'adin is the exclusive port of the Fang family navy. You can sell all the goods to Fang."

    The shopkeeper was shocked. Usually, a huge amount of investment is required to monopolize the port. Although the port can only trade with one power from now on, this huge investment will also allow the port business to develop significantly.

    But if it¡¯s a monopoly through bribery Ji¡¯adin¡¯s future is worrying.  (To be continued)
