Before buying finished products from Daming to do sea trade, although the profit has reached an astonishing more than double, but who would make more money, but when Chen Xin was preparing to make persistent efforts, the Jiangnan detachment sent a bad news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few months, Chen Tao, the head of the Jiangnan detachment, had several conflicts with other maritime merchants in order to rush to buy supplies, and the other party used violent means at first, but Chen Tao had 50 tigers under him, and they firmly gained the upper hand in this small-scale fight, no matter how fierce the people who came to make trouble, they were finally beaten down.

However, in this era of strict restrictions on maritime trade, where can this business be good stubble, and finding that violent means cannot solve the problem, these people have used official power to suppress the Jiangnan detachment in the past month.

Fortunately, in order to open up the sea traffic before, Chen Shen, a tiger who was a thousand households in Jinshanwei, opened up his own relationship network, caught up with Wei Guogong, and then used this piece of tiger skin to get through some other relationships, and the two sides launched a series of confrontations over the supply of goods.

Chen Xin had been waiting for news from the Jiangnan detachment about this matter.

But after getting the report that had just been delivered with the falcon, Chen Xin's lungs were about to explode.

The letter said that although Chen Tao spent a lot of money, he still used some small means to find some official people to settle the matter, but the relationship between the other party was also very hard, and the people Chen Tao was looking for were not enough to suppress the other party, at least he could only say peace.

As a result of the final negotiations, the Jiangnan detachment was limited in the amount of goods it could purchase, and could only purchase various finished cloths, silks, and porcelain from Nanzhili twice a year, and the number of ships purchased at a time was strictly limited to no more than five seagoing vessels.

With a "snap", Chen Xin slapped the report in his hand on the table. "It's too much of a deception."

Kan Shu, who sent the report, also asked anxiously, "General, what should we do?" The silver earned by sea trade is the greatest guarantee for us to collect people from all over the world, and without this input, our development may be greatly affected. ”

The population collection mentioned by Kanshu is a long-term action by Chen Xin to feel that the population of the northern administrative region of Hanbei is too small, and it happens that several provinces in Daming have begun to suffer from drought in recent years, and in order to reduce the loss of the Chinese population and develop his own power, he has continuously moved disaster victims from various places from Daming to come here.

So far, 30,000 people have been sent from Daming, and there are as few as a few hundred people every month, and there are thousands of people at most, and they are still being transported in a steady stream, and the consumption of the migrating population is relatively large, not to mention the occupation of the tonnage of the fleet, just the rations along the way are not a small amount.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs arranged them together according to the farms, but the victims of the disaster had no long belongings and could not even feed themselves, and now it was not time to farm, so they could only rely on the Ministry of Civil Affairs to solve the problem of their survival through work, and the consumption was even greater.

In addition to buying food, they also have to build houses, buy all kinds of tools, and buy them ploughing cattle in the future, although these are all loans and need to be repaid, but that is a long time later, and now the Ministry of Civil Affairs still needs to continue to invest silver.

On average, when a family of displaced people is resettled, when they can support themselves, the expenses will reach 30 taels of silver, and half of the silver earned by the sea trade will be used to feed these Ming disaster victims in addition to military salaries and various civil affairs expenses.

This money has to be invested every month, and the displaced people will have to wait at least until the autumn harvest of the following year to start repayment, so there must be no problems in sea trade.

Now the sea trade has to be reduced from once a month to twice a year, and the number is also limited, and even half of a fleet is not loaded.

Seeing that Chen Xin didn't speak, Kan Shu asked again, "General, why don't you just fight with Da Ming, let them completely let go of the restrictions, and let us buy goods freely?" ”

Chen Xin was angry, "You kid, what do you think Da Ming is?" Cowardly Manchu" stopped here, Kanshu is not a tiger, some things still can't be said, like the Manchu Qing who was bombarded too violently by artillery, and it will wait for 10 years before changing its name to appear in the eyes of the world, and now it is still Houjin.

So he changed his words and said, "Do you think Da Ming will be so easy to bully? No harmony, no reparations, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, the Ming Dynasty is one of the hardest dynasties in Chinese history, how can a war make the Ming succumb. ”

For Chen Xin's praise of Da Ming so much, the staff officers who had fought with Guan Ningjun in the Later Jin Dynasty were very unconvinced.

Kan Shu retorted in a low voice: "General, you are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige, and when the newly built navy of our army is launched in a few days, there will be 30 fast crab-5s, although none of them are fully manned, but each ship has as little as 2 guns, and as many as 10 guns, and there are 180 10-pound long-barreled heavy guns in total, who in the world can resist." ”

Chen Xin shook his head, "You guys, you have too little knowledge, do you know how many artillery pieces the Ming Dynasty cast in half a year in order to establish the Ningjin Defense Line?" There are thousands of guns of various sizes and styles, and 180 wrought iron heavy guns that can only be used on ships are nothing.

Others don't know, but we ourselves should know that these are long-barreled cannons, which are too heavy, inconvenient to transport on land, and can only play prestige at sea.

But the interests of the Ming Dynasty are not at sea, but on land, what do we use to threaten the Ming Dynasty, which has millions of troops?

The city of the Ming Dynasty is not a dirt fence like North Korea, and a person can climb it at night, and the slightly more important cities there are at least 3 zhang high city walls, and our China has always been stronger than defending the city, and for thousands of years, all kinds of means, how can we deal with it now.

Have you thought about all of this? ”

Looking at Kan Shu's dumbfounded appearance, although Chen Xin knew that Da Ming was now a semi-hostile force, he still couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

However, this pride was quickly replaced by the anger brought about by the restriction of trade, and after thinking for a while, he said, "We can't deal with the Ming Dynasty, can't we deal with a few maritime merchants?" The order went down and asked Chen Tao to monitor the movements of those maritime merchants, and report them as soon as their ships went to sea. By the way, send them a few more falcons and keep an eye on those people. ”

Kanshu recorded the order and immediately turned around and went to the Communications Division. "This time, the general is really angry, and it seems that he wants to get back his face and liner at sea. I'm afraid this is even more ruthless than directly asking for the lives of those maritime merchants. ”

Although robbing the ships of those maritime merchants can give out a bad breath and get a certain amount of supplies, but after all, looting is not a long-term solution, and it is not possible to rob the entire ship completely every time, and the men at sea never lack the courage to die with the enemy.

Economic problems still need economic means to solve, especially when you can't directly take down the opponent of the Song of the Ming Dynasty, it's best to think of other ways.

Although there is still a lot of silver saved before, but now Chen Xin is throwing a lot of money and developing and growing, and that money can only last for half a year at most, so he must think of a solution before this.
