"Since these Ming people are regarded as goods, how did you trade with the Nanbans?" Kuroda Vocational High School calmed down before asking again.
"According to the information we have received from sources, after our Ming people are captured, a small part will be sent to the farms of the Nanban to work as coolies, and the rest will be sent to several major ports such as Manila and Zambolong, where they will be sold as goods.
We didn't actually know about these things at first, but our former colleagues (from the time of Captain Wufeng's time) who were in contact with us later took the initiative to get in touch with us because our family accepted the people of the Ming Kingdom. Hope to be able to work with us to do this business.
Because they were the only ones who were familiar with the local Nanban merchants, they went to Manila and Semarang to buy a large number of Ming slaves at a long-term low price, and then transported them to the sea in the Ming Kingdom, and then resold them to us according to the number of people, but the price would be much higher than when they were purchased. Zhang Jiangfu replied.
"So that's the case, since this is the case, through your relationship, can you still buy a sea boat with a large draft in the Ming Kingdom?" Kuroda asked.
"Is it a sea ship with a large draft, through our previous relationship with the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Division in Fuzhou, we can still get a sea boat, but after the frequent sea accidents, the current Ming Dynasty is extremely strict about the launching of sea ships, so even if you can get it, it is estimated that it is only a small sea ship of a thousand materials at most, and it is basically impossible to get a sea ship with a large draft, even if it is difficult to pay a large price." Zhang Jiangfu replied.
"It's normal not to be able to buy it, in that case, let's first buy some small boats that are good enough to go to sea and suitable for my family's ocean-going trade, and then trouble you to go to a few of your family's sailors, first select some warships that can sail in the ocean, and also belong to your fleet, this I will greet their leader."
"Young Master, the scale of the current fleet of our family is already very large, and the current trade income is also a lot, why is it such a large-scale expansion of the fleet?" Zhang Jiang asked puzzled.
"Why, let me tell you, normal trade cannot be stagnant, but at the same time, you will give me all my strength to buy these poor people who have been abandoned by the Ming Kingdom, and you must not let them suffer overseas."
"It's just that the gathering place of the Ming Kingdom of the Ben family is saturated, and tens of thousands of people of the Ming Kingdom have long exceeded the limit, and many of them are living by doing handicrafts or small business in other territories of the Kuroda family. If the family continues to accept it, I'm afraid I'll ......" Zhang Jiangfu didn't continue, but just looked at Kuroda Vocational High School.
Zhang Jiangfu's psychology is actually very easy to understand, and the current gathering place of the Kuroda family and the Ming people, if you only count the agricultural output, the actual high is less than 30,000.
In order to be able to feed some more people, as long as it is a place that can be cultivated, they have been reclaimed into fields, and even the outside of the water army village is a piece of farmland, and through the way of land reclamation from the sea, a lot of fields have also been developed. There is also the technology that Kuroda Vocational High School told them about the two years and three crops (the technology of two years of cultivation is the top secret of the Kuroda family).
Even if this is done to the extreme, agriculture alone is not enough to feed the more than 100,000 people of the Ming Kingdom that the Kuroda family has accepted at present, and only by counting the income of triangular trade, commerce, handicrafts, and various craftsmen can we ensure their basic food and clothing.
You must know that even if this is the case, it is because of the 3,000 sailors who consume the most grain and grass, and more than 1,000 caravan personnel, all their supplies are supplied by the Kuroda family, otherwise it is likely that there will be a famine.
Now, according to Kuroda Vocational High School, if we continue to accept the people of the Ming Kingdom, or introduce a large number of them, the already very tight food supply, and the already very poor life of the people, will inevitably become more urgent, which Zhang Jiangfu does not want to see.
The Han people have always been the most industrious and brave nation in the world, and they have always been the strongest nation, but the Chinese have always had a strong national inferiority.
The discrimination against each other is the most obvious, because China has a vast territory, because of the vast territory, because of the regional differences, the population has a strong exclusivity, which also caused the situation of frequent infighting in Chinese history. There is no national cohesion and mutual exclusion, this is the normal state of the Chinese nation when there are no catastrophes.
"Lord Zhang, I didn't say that I would let these people come to Harima Country!" Kuroda said with some unhappiness.
"Ahh What does the young master mean? ”
"If you let them go to a relatively barren place, and it's closer to the front line of their own family, do you think they will accept it?" Kuroda asked.
"This ...... If they are only close to the front line, it is estimated that the problem is not very big, because their current situation is almost dire. It is better to be able to live a normal life than to be a slave in Nanyang now. ”
Hearing that Kuroda Vocational High School said that these people did not come to Harima Country, Zhang Jiangfu immediately came to the spirit, as long as he did not come to thin up their interests, Zhang Jiangfu was still very willing to see the Kuroda family accept more of his compatriots. After all, there are more Ming people in the Kuroda family's territory, and there should be more right to speak in the Wa Kingdom in the future!
Kuroda shook his head and said: "You just have to accept the people of the Ming Kingdom in Nanyang, as for the displaced people from the Ming Kingdom, don't relax, continue to accept them, and then I will plan a place for them to live in a relatively safe place in Zhou Fangguo." That place has gone through several wars, the population is sparse, the mountains are small, the land is barren, many wealthy clans and countrymen are reluctant to go because it is close to the front line, I am worried about how to deal with Zhou Fangguo, and now it is just right for my family to accept them. ”
"The newly acquired Zhou Fangguo of this family, it turns out that this is the case, then good, then good."
"Master Zhang." Kuroda said.
"What does the young master command?"
"I'm just a Japanese person, you are a Ming countryman, and those who are being oppressed in Nanyang are also the people of the Ming country, as compatriots of the same nation, they should have loved each other, to be honest, I am very disappointed with your performance just now."
"Ahh Zhang Jiangfu looked at Kuroda Vocational High School in disbelief.
