In many of these, slaves were imported, but they were re-exported nearly in equal numbers.

Of the rum imported for home consumption, allowing for that re-exported, the quantity was 5,000,000 of gallons.

The country was poor, and its only important economic asset was the trade in metals, timber, and other southern products; soon there came also a growing overseas trade with India and the Middle East, bringing revenues to the state in so far as the goods were re-exported from Wu to the north.
