Chapter 297: Economic Crisis. Bad taste

As his subordinates continued to drink until they came back drunk, and then after some vomiting and a little sobering medicine prepared in advance, they began to report to Lu Ming one by one the information they got yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After waiting for so many times, Lu Ming was confident.

It turned out that the Spaniards had long coveted the cotton cloth, woolen wool, glassware, wine, fine sugar, fruit candy, cigarettes, spices and other things produced by Xuanjun.

Although some of these things are not very rare, and can even be said to be very common, however, the Spaniards have colonies around the world, so naturally they cannot be stupid, they have their own unique needs.

Cotton and woolen woolen are the finest products they need;

The glassware in the United Kingdom of China has fewer bubbles and can be customized according to customer needs, which is also more attractive than French glass;

The alcohol with high alcohol content was used by the Spaniards in Asia;

Fruit candy and delicate white sugar are the unique business of Xuanjun, and the sugar they sell is extremely pure, far exceeding the products of other countries;

Cigarettes with added flavors have made many Europeans who are still chewing tobacco obsessed with this kind of thing.

As for spices, Chen Xin made some spice trees through the biochemical manufacturing equipment of Goldfinger, and the spices with a strong smell were comparable to gold in Europe without bathing.

All this cargo fascinated the Europeans, and the Spaniards were just one of them.

It's just that they haven't been able to find the origin of these goods before, and they can only buy these things from the Ming merchants at a high price every year, and the quantity is limited by the Ming government, which makes them depressed and almost crazy.

It's a pity that the Dutch people fought against the Ming Dynasty several times, so that all the colonists did not dare to act rashly, and they were not the India, Indonesia, Luzon and other regions and countries they dealt with before, and the Ming Dynasty had very hard bones and methods.

After a few years of depression, now that they have finally found their master, the Spaniards are not ecstatic, knowing that buying from the place of origin can save a lot of money.

Of course, the purchase of these materials is not their main purpose, their main purpose is to curb the economic crisis.

Yes, the economic crisis, the Spanish plundered a large amount of gold and silver from the American continent every year, and the native nobles used it to luxury.

However, Europe has not yet entered the period of the Industrial Revolution, and the total output of materials is only a small amount.

Under the means of "sheep eating people" and "capital oppression" throughout Europe, the aristocracy, clergy, landlords, capitalists and other strata constantly strive to squeeze the laborers at the bottom and let them produce all day long, but this cannot satisfy the wasteful desires of the European aristocracy.

The lack of supplies and the influx of silver have caused a depreciation of silver in Europe, bankrupting countless farmers and craftsmen, and desperately running to the American continent to eat.

However, even in this state, the aristocracy was still unwilling to change their way of life, and the situation continued to deteriorate.

The amount of silver and gold transported from the American continent continued to increase, but the production of materials could not be increased, and the holders of silver were unwilling to give up spending a lot of money to enjoy it, and things could only get worse step by step.

Therefore, when the Spanish colonists found that the price of a large number of goods sold by Xuan Jun to the outside world was extremely low, even if it was shipped to Europe from the distant Ming Dynasty, it was cheaper than the local goods, how could the Spaniards not be moved.

This is only the second-hand trade, which has already added to the profits, and now, having found a producer of the goods, the Spaniards are simply going crazy, and the price of the goods in the country of origin will definitely be even cheaper.

The most important thing is that the Spaniards have learned from some sources that the production of these things is very abundant, and their production is increasing year by year.

Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity to restore silver to its normal value?

There is a place where there is a huge production capacity of high-end products, and you have a lot of silver, which is obviously a perfect complement.

In order to be able to obtain the right to trade directly with the goods at their origin, the Spaniards were naturally willing to pay a great price.

Lu Ming, who got these news, carefully took care of his clothes.

He knew that this time, he might be able to give you a big surprise.

Lu Ming walked out of his room, ready to visit the Spanish governor stationed in the garrison again.

On the third day of Lu Ming's trip to Santo Domingo, Spain, the Xuan army finally found the Peter fleet that had attacked the Xuan army in the East China Sea.

In the past few days, the typhoon has not stopped, but Chen Xin cannot do nothing.

Although, in retaliation, Chen Xin had already decided to capture the occupied areas of the southern Netherlands, but the long-distance expedition was not a simple matter, in addition to diplomatic preparations, a large number of supplies and transport ships had to be prepared.

Moreover, typhoons on the sea are very frequent, and you can't just turn your eyes blind every time there is a typhoon in the future.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Xin decided to replace the reconnaissance assistant for the naval unit and turn the falcon of the navy and coast guard into a seabird, that is, the kind of seabird that can fly long distances even if its feathers are stained with water.

It is better to have seabirds that can fly in the storm, so that the common bad weather on the sea can no longer shade the warriors in the sky of the Xuan army.

So, after producing and experimenting with many species of biochemical seabirds, Chen Xin decided to distribute albatross to the navy.

Albatrosses are found in the coastal provinces of China and are very scarce. It breeds on Diaoyu Island and Chiwei Yu in northern Taiwan.

They range in length from 68 to 135 cm depending on the species; The wingspan is even more different, from 178 to 350 cm.

In general, the whole body is white, the top of the head and occipital are stained with orange-yellow, the wings, shoulders and tail are grayish-brown, and the inner wing is covered with white.

The shape is very similar to that of a seagull, the head is relatively large, the beak is long and strong, covered by many sheets, and the apex of the upper beak is flexed downward; nasal tubular shape; short neck; The body is stout and strong; tail short; The wings are narrow and extra-large.

The smallest albatross are more than 55cm long and weigh at least 7~8kg.

Nocturnal activity. He is good at phoenix soaring, swimming, and can walk on land. Rest: On the sea, during the breeding season, it is on the shore and on the islands and other land shelters.

Carnivorous. Feeds on fish, molluscs, etc.

They cannot catch prey while flying in the air, nor can they go shallow underwater to hunt for food, and foraging is carried out on the surface of the water. Alertness is high, solitary and quiet, active alone or in pairs.

Of course, according to Chen Xin's bad taste, when choosing, of course, he chose the big guy with the largest size, the longest wingspan, and the heaviest weight.

The final mass-produced albatross is a huge guy with a body length of 140cm, a wingspan of 400cm, and a weight of 40 pounds.
