Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 340: Chapter 329 Setting Sail

The month of March ushers in rising temperatures and the onset of spring plowing preparations.

At the same time, the Tenglong Guard merchant ship is also about to set sail for Jiangnan.

On this day, Yang Zhenshan once again arrived at the dock.

On the docks, a large quantity of goods was already being loaded onto the ships, provided by various merchants.

Such as dried goods, supplied by the Lu family, the Yang Family, and the Sky Blue Sword Sect.

Another example is medicinal herbs, provided by the Hengdao Sect, Sky Blue Sword Sect, and Jing’an Shang family.

As for the sources of fur, they varied with contributions from each family.

As for the Snake Pattern Jade Stones, they were supplied by the Zhang family of Liao’an.

These goods were all purchased in the name of the government office, and after being sold in Jiangnan, all the proceeds would go to the government office.

Watching the bustling dock, Yang Zhenshan asked Yu Tonghai, “Is everything ready?”

“Yes, everything is prepared. We can set sail tomorrow morning!” Yu Tonghai replied.

This sea voyage would see the Tenglong Guard deploying seventeen battleships and eight merchant ships.

The battleships consisted of one Da Fu Ship, two Hai Cang Ships, four patrol ships, and ten Eagle Ships.

The battleships would also carry some goods, and together with the eight merchant ships, the total value of goods transported was around eighty thousand taels of Silver. If all were sold, a profit of about twenty thousand taels of Silver could be made.

The profit margin was not high, which was normal since the goods were being transported to Jiangnan, and the actual profit was essentially the freight cost saved compared to land transportation.

The most profitable part of maritime trade naturally comes from foreign trade. Circulating internally within Da Rong would only yield a convenient earning with no substantial profit.
