Chapter 53 We are actually a spittoon seller

Many times, Han Xiufen always felt that she still didn't know these Europeans, so she found someone who was familiar with the European style of doing things to do something she didn't know about instead of herself.

In this way, everyone can really stand on the same line of thinking and communicate, which will reduce a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

Sure enough, in the evening, when Han Xiufen invited Governor Wren and Governor Raymond to dinner, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

The pale blush on Raymond's face finally turned a little, and Wren's dead gray vampire count's face smiled.

As for Han Xiufen's big bronze face, she was even more full of smiles, and frequently raised her glass to congratulate this incident, which had obviously fallen into a dead end, and had the possibility of seeing the light again.

Zhang Chuanli recalled the good impression of his relationship with the British in beautiful language, while Liu Mingliang described the beautiful process of his relationship with the English girl over and over again.

Only Leonie sat on the side, quietly eating the delicious steak, and from time to time she raised her glass and echoed Han Xiufen's invitation.

After the meal was eaten for a full hour before it was over, and after Governor Raymond and Governor Wren left one after another, Liu Mingliang couldn't wait to say to Han Xiufen: "General, why do we still allow the British to stay in India, isn't it good that we have it alone?" ”

Han Xiufen picked up the snow-white tablecloth and wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Hey, do you think that India is already ours?" ”

Liu Mingliang said: "Isn't it ours? ”

Han Xiufen looked at Liu Mingliang and said, "Do you know how many people there are in India?" Do you know how many armies these native kings along the coast have? ”

Liu Mingliang said with a smile: "It's just a group of natives, and you can defeat them in one battle." ”

Han Xiufen frowned and asked, "Did we come to India just to kill people?" ”

Zhang Chuanli said: "Wealth is what we need, and most wealth is not ready-made, it needs to be cultivated, and it needs to wait to get it, the general means that we Ming people are not barbarians, and we don't like to kill people when we have nothing to do."

If we kill all the people, who will help us make money?

The British did this very well, and after many years of doing business with the Indians, they found that it was better to make a lot of money by doing business with the Indians than to take away the last pair of shorts from the Indians.

The gentlemen of the Yushan School of Commerce believed that the gold and silver directly looted would have a limited impact on the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It is far better to exchange the surplus goods in the country with the Indians, for example, to exchange the spittoons we produce for the cotton of the Indians, so that the Indians get the spittoon, and we get the cotton, and we all get it, and we don't suffer a loss.

The people in the country can produce spittoons to their heart's content, and they can also use the cotton exchanged to produce cotton cloth to their heart's content.

The gentlemen of Yushan Academy believe that the production process is far more important than the result, because there are a large number of people who can participate in the production process, and there are countless people who can get work to do, support their families, and make a fortune.

Liu Mingliang said disdainfully; "The results of the production are not important? Aren't Indians stupid enough to trade their cotton for a spittoon? I've heard that Indians don't use spittoons!

What do you want? If you talk about what the production process is important, there is no result, and there is a process that has a fart. ”

After Liu Mingliang finished speaking, he found that Han Xiufen, Zhang Chuanli, and Leonie looked at him as if they were caring for the mentally retarded, although he didn't know what he said wrong, he still spread his hands and said, "Welcome to argue." ”

Han Xiufen pointed to the door and said, "Get out, you will be responsible for dealing with the prisoners in the future, and don't get involved in the rest." ”

Liu Mingliang jumped up and shouted: "If you have something to say, okay, if you can't say it, I'll be annoyed and angry." ”

Zhang Chuanli sighed and said: "The gentlemen of the academy are all scholars, so naturally they can't say it very thoroughly, what the gentlemen mean is that the people in China are only responsible for the production of spittoons, and as for how to let Indians exchange cotton for spittoons, it is the job of those of us." ”

Liu Mingliang looked at Han Xiufen with a smile, and then looked at Leonie and whispered: "You mean to use cannons to persuade?" ”

Han Xiufen sighed and said, "If you can use one mouth to get Indians to exchange cotton for a spittoon, of course it's the best." Did you know? In order to encourage the people to actively produce in these years, His Majesty has only produced homespun cloth, yes, it is the linen cloth that every Ming woman will spin, how much has the dynasty accumulated?

Let me tell you, there are 43 million horses, and this number is still increasing, and it has become the largest annual subsidy project of the Prime Minister's Office, and the burden on the Prime Minister's Office is very heavy. ”

Liu Mingliang said: "You can not subsidize or purchase." ”

Han Xiufen said: "You know a fart, the reason why this phenomenon occurs is that my Ming Dynasty's textile technology is changing with each passing day.

Collectivization, combined with the massive improvement of technology, how could the peasant women, who relied on the ancient means of weaving, compare with the big workshops?

Our China has always paid attention to male ploughing and female weaving, and the life of male ploughing and female weaving has been maintained for thousands of years, which is the social foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Do you know what will happen if you don't let those women weave?

The most immediate result is the reduction of the income of ordinary people's families, and the deeper meaning is that the separation of textiles from household production will directly cause a devastating blow to rural women, and will give rise to many social problems.

Of course, newer technology, better cotton will naturally replace linen production, and this is a process that will have to be experienced sooner or later, and our task is to minimize the impact of this technological process on the people of our country. ”

"Put the spittoon ...... No, sackcloth is sold to Indians? ”

Han Xiufen turned her thick neck, and then made another chest expansion movement and said casually: "Sell it to everyone, for example, Count Raymond thinks that he can eat 10 million horses alone." ”

"He doesn't have any money."

"His family runs a large cotton trading house in India."

"He's going to help us sell homespun cloth?"

"No, he gave us the firm."

"So, in the future, we don't kill people and start shopping?"

"Selling the goods produced by Daming to wherever there are people, and then shipping what we need back to Daming from anywhere in the world, that's the whole point of our establishment of Daming West India Company.

This is a strategic change in the responsibilities of our Navy. ”

Han Xiufen was not wrong at all, the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty was already enough, and the amount was almost beyond the limit of what the imperial court could bear.

The expansion of the territory of the army sounds good to say, and it also looks good to write in the history books.

However, who knows that Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu are already so worried that they can't sleep because of this incident.

In Liaodong, Li Dingguo's army is advancing wildly, the vanguard has arrived in Hetuala, and the army of the partial division of the Golden Tiger has officially set foot in Korea.

In the Western Regions, since Xia Wanchun arrived in the Western Regions, it was no longer the Dzungar Khanate that was troublesome for the Han Chinese, but the generals under Xia Wanchun had prepared to close the Dzungar Khanate and trap this notoriously strong khanate in the Junggar Basin.

In Wusizang, 1,400 Ming officials have been stationed in the sparsely populated Wusizang, and together with Sun Guoxin's fanatics, they are preparing to re-establish the order in Wusizang, which has been completely destroyed by Hanling Mountain.

In the southwest, Hong Chengchou really lived up to the name of a capable minister, just relying on the troops in his hands, he had already left no trace of the road to govern the southwest, and did not close his door at night, not only that, but also built a land route to Malacca.

In Nanyang, Han Xiufen's appetite is extremely large, relying on Malacca, she is simply closing the door of the Strait of Malacca, and closing the gate indicates that the east of the Strait of Malacca will be the territory of the Ming Empire.

There is also the herdsmen in the jurisdiction of Lantian City, which is backed by the powerful empire of the Ming Dynasty, because of the hot sales of wool, meat products, and dairy products in the Ming Dynasty, in order to have more cattle and sheep, more pastures, and more meat products, dairy products, and wool, they finally spontaneously began to advance northward.

Since the herdsmen are going north, the local army, which is to protect these herdsmen, has to follow the herdsmen north......

Therefore, the amount of money and food requested by Li Dingguo became an astronomical amount, and Xia Wanchun's request for support was never cut off on the way from the Western Regions to China.

As for Wusizang, it was completely a big hole of dissatisfaction, and Sun Guoxin was ready to raise the lives of the remnants of the people in this land from serfs to the average level of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.

Han Xiufen and Hong Chengchou's Nanyang have always been profitable units, but unfortunately, after these two places entered the process of public security appeasement, the ability to hand over state funds is also declining.

As a result, the economic situation of the Lantian Dynasty in China for five years was a mess.

It's not that there is a lack of money, the Lantian Dynasty has long passed the era of lack of money, and the issuance of silver tickets has solved this problem, as long as Yun Zhao wants money, how much money can he have.

However, this is of little use to the people of the Ming Dynasty, and in a highly self-sufficient society, the needs of the people are not high, which can easily lead to overproduction.

Yun Zhao's top priority now is to open up new markets and cultivate old ones, so that he can continue to move forward with this boss empire.

The task of opening up the market was handed over to Han Xiufen, and it just so happened that India is also a big continent with a large population, which is an extremely rare dumping ground for goods.

With this dumping ground, Yun Zhao felt that he could stimulate the demand of the domestic people by expanding the city, and then readjust the domestic production structure, completely complete the economic transformation of the old empire of the Ming Dynasty, and let him regain enough vitality.

In his opinion, the current timing is very appropriate, as long as Daming takes the lead in taking this step, then, within a hundred years, Daming will be in an invincible position.
