Chapter 1930： Far East Triangle Trade

Marin hadn't really noticed before, and didn't expect whale skin to be so valuable. Previously, his request for fishermen who tried to kill whales was only to obtain whale oil and whale meat. He ignored the whale skin.

Until recently thought of the introduction of the previous life, only to think of it-the original whale skin is also a very valuable thing. But he sent people to the whaling fishing village to see that the fishermen directly used the simple and crudely processed whale skin as ordinary leather, and actually used it as an ordinary leather cushion.

And Marin let the newly captured whale skins be tanned by the tanning masters with whale oil and salt and other materials. It was discovered that whale skin is completely a high-end living leather!

Its thick, soft, smooth and supple characteristics make clothes made of whale skin very popular. Therefore, there are more tanning teams on the whaling ship envisaged by Marin ...

The task of these people is to peel off the whale skin in time after the fleet has killed the whale and process and tan it on the spot, making the whale skin a very suitable leather material. Then, used to process into various practical things.

Because they are waterproof and thick and soft, Suha they found that leather gloves made of whale skin are very suitable for use in cold areas.

In the northeastern part of the northeast, where winter is tens of degrees below zero, ordinary leather leather gloves are not enough to keep out the cold in the environment of tens of degrees below zero. After wearing the cowhide gloves, the warriors still felt their hands cold.

But after putting on thicker and softer whale leather gloves, the five Sauron warriors felt for the first time that this thing is too suitable for winter in the outer northeast ...

As long as the Sauron warriors wear this kind of gloves with very good warmth in winter, they can draw swords and fight against enemies in the environment of minus tens of degrees.

In the past, because they did not know how to make leather gloves, in the cold winter, the Sauron could only strike. Because, in the extremely cold weather of tens of degrees below zero, the Sauron Warriors had some difficulty holding the knife. Mainly, it ’s too cold in the wild ...

Hold the knife empty-handed in the environment of minus tens of degrees, but it will freeze the hands.

But with the waterproof and warm peak gloves made by whale skin, it is very conducive to the winter battle of the Sauron ...

The Sauron people are, after all, barbarians with a very low level of civilization. Although they have rich fur resources, they do not know how to sew leather gloves that can completely wrap their hands with leather. They only know how to make hand guards that wrap a hand.

Leather gauntlets can still be used in the south, but in the outer northeast, where the winter temperature is tens of degrees below zero, the leather gloves cannot completely cover the hands, which is completely useless. Because, as long as you dare to expose, it will give you problems ...

And Europe began to popularize sewing leather gloves into leather as early as during the Norman Conquest. It was mainly used in winter, and in other seasons, some people stayed with leather gloves in their hands, demonstrating their noble status and status.

Happens to be, Marin is also a person who has traversed from the future generations, and is familiar with the various styles of the future generations of gloves. After a heated discussion with the tannery masters, Marin finally got a modern style of whale leather gloves with good cold protection and no impact on combat actions such as archery.

After trial by Suha and Berger and others, they unanimously stated that if such gloves were present, the Sauron Warriors could be in the cold winter outside the northeast ...

In the winter, the northeast and outer northeast are extremely cold. If you want to go out, you must wrap yourself tightly. Moreover, ordinary vehicles are completely useless, and can only use horse-drawn sleds or deer sleds for outing activities ...

"Horse-drawn sleigh? Sauron actually used horse-drawn sleigh? Isn't the sledge pulled by a dog?" Marin was surprised. He didn't know that the dog sled was actually played by the Eskimos before it spread to the northeast. Prior to this, the northeast was a horse-drawn sleigh in the south, and the deer tribe in the north used a reindeer to pull the sleigh, also called a sledge.

Suha and others were surprised:

"Dogs can still pull sledges? We Sauron people generally use horse-drawn sledges. Horses pull sledges in winter, and ride after thaw ... Oh, the northern mountain savages who make deer on the north, generally use reindeer sledges ... "

And Berger added:

"As for the dog, it is very important for the Sauron, because the dog is also an important helper for the Sauron to catch the mink."

Mink skins are precious, so the Sauron did not dare to shoot a mink with a bow and arrow, fearing that it would damage the mink. You know, the price difference between a good mink and a broken mink is very big.

Therefore, those Sauron hunters who catch mink often cultivate a few hunting dogs who know how to cooperate and hunt down the mink, for tracking and catching the mink.

Once you find Miner's nest, a few hunting dogs will surround her, and if Miner dares to come out, she will be bitten ...

While catching the mink, the Sauron hounds just bit the head of the rabbit and did not kill too much. And Sauron Orion, laughed and got a complete mink ...

Generally speaking, the Saurons who live in Daxinganling tend to keep several ferocious Sauron hounds to catch mink.

The Sauron Hound is not small, fast, and explosive. This kind of dog mainly participates in hunting, and it is called the Elunchun Hound in later generations. Of course, now it must be called the Sauron Hound. Like Solon Horse, later generations are also called Elun Chunma, but now it must be called Solon Horse. Because, at the moment, Oroqen is also called Sorenbeibu.

……

Marin did not struggle with the current problem of whether there is a dog sled in the northeast. He now considers how to obtain sufficient profits in the fur trade and soap trade in the Far East to smooth out the trade deficit.

Of course, he never thought of taking a lot of gold and silver from the Ming Dynasty. It's not that he doesn't want it, but he can't. Once the trade between the Beihai Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty caused a large amount of outflow of gold and silver from the Ming Dynasty, the stingy and conservative Ming Dynasty might have cut off his trade. Therefore, Marin is not pursuing a trade surplus but smoothing out the trade deficit. Anyway, the goods imported from the Ming Dynasty must have exploded in Europe, enough for him to earn money ...

However, although using whale oil to make soap, a piece can cost up to two or three pennies, but the problem is that if soap production is located in the North Sea country or the Americas, shipping soap to Daming will also be very expensive. If you sell like a pancreas soap for only a dozen articles, the profit is very low. At least, it is not worthy of ocean trade.

Marin thought for a while, and suddenly remembered, it seems that the Hokkaido fishing ground is also one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world ...

In these days, the Japanese did not understand modern whaling methods, nor do they have whaling guns. Even, Hokkaido is still a land of people in Yiyi. There are many fish there, and where there are many fish, there are often many whales that eat fish for a living. Unless there are too many whaling ships, kill the whales. But in this era ~ www.novelhall.com ~ there must be no whaling boats, so the whale resources in Hokkaido fishing grounds are definitely rich.

If Marin set up a whaling fleet at the Hokkaido fishing ground, he would be able to catch enough whales at the Hokkaido fishing ground, and he would also get a lot of whale oil.

Then, Marin can set up a soap bar on the island of Yiyi, import mouth soda and lime from the Ming Dynasty, and use caustic soda made with mouth soda and lime to react with whale oil to make soap in large quantities.

Hokkaido is much closer to Daming than Hokkaido and the Americas, and transportation costs are much lower. Moreover, Marin can recruit cheap sailors and samurai guards from Japan.

At the same time, he can recruit sailors from the islands of Ezo and mainland Japan to join the whaling fleet, helping him kill many whales, get whale oil, and whale meat and whale skin.

The whale meat caught in Hokkaido fishing grounds can be made into cured meat or bacon and sold to Nuergancheng as food. Then, mink fur was exchanged from Nuergancheng, and then the soap was shipped to Daming to make a profit.

At the same time, in the Ming Dynasty, Marin will also let his men purchase a large amount of cheap alkali and lime here as raw materials for soap production and ship them to Hokkaido. I also purchased iron pans and various ironware and shipped them to Nuergancheng in the northeast of the outside ...

In this way, in the Far East, Marin will use soap, mink, whale oil and Daming iron and other materials to form a tripartite Far East triangle trade circle. All three parties export commodities to the other two parties and also import commodities or raw materials to the other two parties. In this way, once it is healthy, it will continue to earn enough profits for Marin.

Eventually, these huge profits will be replaced by tight commodities such as Daming silk and porcelain, which will be shipped back to Europe to generate more huge profits ...
