Ying Ming thinks that Wei Si is a good kid, although he has nothing but serious talent except for that one-handed riding and shooting, and he is illiterate, but he can do it if he puts it in his hands.

No, it has only been two days since the affairs of the English Levant and the Mexican merchant group were handed over to him, and with an Elan family, the two of them led the horse and plunged into the city of Puli, which no one knew, and then came back with an eyebrow.

He brought back to Ying Ming a trilingual investigation report on the trade routes of the two companies.

It's magical.

Ying Ming felt that this thing was magical inside and out, and his little family, Ding Weisi, was semi-illiterate in this era.

Listening, speaking, reading and writing, he can speak the official dialect of Beizhili, because he learned to ride and shoot in his early years, he can also speak a few words of Mongolian language, in addition to the Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Asian native languages that foreign technical talents need to master, and English is completely incomprehensible.

Writing is more finished, when I was a child, I learned less than 200 Chinese characters, and now I am almost forgotten, in addition to the words on the leaf card, I basically know a 'pawnshop', 'tavern', 'certain building', 'Huangming' and other common archways and flags in the neighborhood, and I don't know all the languages of overseas countries, and I don't know Latin.

The report in the three languages was written by many people, but there was no ink from Wei Jinzhong.

The most important thing is that this kid is also a native of the Ming Dynasty, and he has no roots in England, so it took him two days to do it.

"General, the villain knows what is going on with their merchant group, the Yingyi country is not strong enough, and it only makes money from trade, but it has a bad reputation in Europa, such as Xiyi and Fayi are unwilling to deal with them, only the Netherlands, huh...... The villain also got a subpicture, and the man told me where did he come from? ”

Wei Si ran out of the camp tent like a gust of wind as he spoke, took out the leather scroll from the bow sac, took it back, unfolded it, pointed to the location on the map, scratched his head, and said, "It seems to be here, anyway, it's in the east, Netherlands." ”

"You're referring to France, it's rough enough, and the Netherlands is here."

Ying Ming corrected Wei Si's geographical concept, and wondered whether to send his ding-packed ship to Beiyang to rebuild it, but it was quite clever, but this knowledge was too rough like the map in his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes, or the general knows more, the villain also remembers that he came here, and he traded with them in this place, but they produced less, only woollen wool, and soon they made more woolen, and they couldn't sell it in the Netherlands, they are interesting, and the bulk of the source of the treasury is tariffs."

"If there are fewer tariffs, you can't hold on, and then when the Netherlands fights again, you have to find a home, and many businessmen die on the way to find a home."

"Their businessmen are not like us, the wealthy businessmen and giants go to sea with more than a dozen boats, it is not easy for them to have a small boat, going to sea is the same as sending them to death, and when there are more dead people, they figure out that one person is not good, so they join the buddy."

Wei Si's sentence "together with the buddy" refers to the joint-stock system, in the Ming Dynasty merchants have all the money and goods called buddy, some are businessmen do things together, some are rich people to contribute to the management of good operators, according to the contract signed in advance to divide the account, investors do not stick to their identities, up to the wealthy eunuchs, down to the squires who have the audacity to fund pirates, all of them are happy with this.

"They are also official tickets, and the merchants who have joined the ladies ask the queen for permission to trade elsewhere, and the earliest guys went to Moscow, so people call the guys on this route approved by the queen the Moscow merchant group."

As he spoke, Wei Sile pointed to the right side of the map and said: "This villain remembers, here, the piece that is not on the outside of this map is Moscow, England is a small border island, and Moscow is even more poor. ”

"Furs can be sold at a high price in Europa, and only nobles can wear furs according to the law, but there are also rich people who buy and wear them secretly, and the value is extremely high, and they are almost exterminating all the fur animals they can find, Moscow has this, the price is cheap, and the two sides hit it off, and even let Moscow kill the little beasts running in the woods."

"If Moscow wants to find more furs, it will fight with others, and when it starts a war, Yingyi will sell long and short guns and gunpowder, and they don't need to use themselves, and they will exchange fur with Muscovites at a high price, right general."

Speaking of this, Wei Si frowned, and responded mysteriously: "I heard that Moscow is full of Tatars, isn't it not far from us?" ”

"Tatars, Varat?"

Ying Ming also frowned when he received this information, and in his mind, the vast land between Moscow and Warat on the world map was suddenly shrunk and pieced together, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "You go on." ”

"Yes!"

"This route has made Yingyi a lot of money, and now there are more and more businessmen in the partnership, and the fur that comes back every year is processed and sold to the princes and nobles of Zhuyi, and the good quality can be worth 100 gold, which is the largest source of income for the Yingyi royal family; Not with the Levant merchants. ”

"Don't look at the queen who also invested 40,000 pounds, now it has been established for three years, and it loses money every year, that Ottoman seems to be under the jurisdiction of our Western military government, and they went to Daming Harbor, where they traded through Seville, and the two countries were at war, and the Westerner warship sank him when he saw the British ship."

"And the villain also heard that they have merchant ships that hang the sun and moon flags and pretend to be our ships when they cross the western coast, and no one stops Daming's ship at sea.

When Wei Si said this, his expression was the same as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and said: "I heard that other places outside the city thought that we were calling over because the matter was exposed, and they also complained that I said that we are very bright, so why don't we borrow a flag." ”

Listening to Wei Jinzhong's words, and looking at the reports of the three Chinese, it should be clear that he had a general understanding of England's foreign trade, but he really didn't expect that the Levant route would be yellow before he could stir it up.

However, the Moscow route and the dumping of furs to Europe were indeed profitable - Makino had a large number of beaver skins, bear skins, fox skins, and mink skins, and the Ming immigrants there also had extremely high leather-making and fur-making skills, and low-cost things could be exchanged for a large number of materials as long as they were shipped, and there was only one problem in between.

He had to cut the line of England first.

Thinking of this, Commander Ying snorted, raised his head and asked Wei Jinzhong: "It's hard work to get these things, how did you get them, and why are you so big...... Fat powder flavor? ”

"Hey, I'm afraid of staining the general's ears by saying it, the villain has made some friends in the city, the Tuyi language above is written by the people in the city, the Xiyi language is written by the soldiers, and our words are written by the merchant soldiers, there are no secrets, it's not difficult to get these."

Wei Si thought about it, and finally decided not to tell the general that he slept in the brothel for two days and one night, and said, "The villain still has a good friend in the city, and he has helped." ”

The good ones in the brothel are also good together, right?
