This Miranda-like, Kerr's blonde Atletico is not Dutch, but a Spanish beauty.

The name of the Yanma beauty is Brabant. Maria. Kerr!

The name is very long, but what surprised Zhu Zilong the most was that this beautiful girl's name really had the word Keer in it, it was really fate!

Then, there was no then, and the information he heard from the back made him speechless.

Unexpectedly, or a big fish?

The new king of Spain, Philip IV, succeeded to the throne in 1621. During his reign, he continued the policy of the former king and signed a ten-year armistice with the Netherlands, but then became involved in the Thirty Years' War on a European scale.

If you look at the world map, you will understand the relationship between Spain and Portugal, just like the relationship between China and South Korea.

Then the Portuguese pirates followed their Dutch ship all the way, but it was the Spaniards on it, and the reason for this is easy to understand.

Brabant. Maria. Kerr (too long a name, henceforth referred to as kerr) was the daughter of Maria's sister, daughter of Henry IV, Duke of Brabant. (It's a tongue-twister, Khan!) ）

She is also a relative of the king, and the reason why she came to the vicinity of Daming. It was because his father was not a duke, but a side branch, and for the sake of self-reliance and greater rights, he came here in the Age of Discovery.

And there is a transit station along the coast in the other corner, where silk, porcelain and tea were purchased in Daming, ready to be shipped back to China to make a fortune. Ke'er was curious about the customs of the Ming Dynasty and secretly got on the merchant ship, and it turned out to be like this!

"Dry love, or a little adventurous and curious Yanmar lady. It's just this luck, really, hehe! ”

Walking out of the interrogation room, Zhu Zilong muttered to himself with a twitch on the corner of his mouth.

Comrade Ke'er's family came to Daming to shop and go home to do business, and that is half a legal businessman.

In the age of overseas trade, if you are not a pirate, but a merchant, it is also very beneficial between countries.

Anyway, these things are not very valuable to Zhu Zilong, and it is not impossible to let them go.

But Zhu Zilong still felt the need to collect a ransom, which was regarded as protection money. So I came to the room where the Spanish beauty Kerr was imprisoned.,After pretending to be a round of XXOO.,Oh no.,It's after persuasion.。

Knowing what was at stake, Markle sat down and wrote a letter that was to be forwarded to her father.

Then, Zhu Zilong gave her subordinates a boat that was not big or small, and asked them to go back to the transit station and use the money to ransom people!

If the two sides didn't bump into each other in Japan, they agreed to come to the vicinity of Yantai in Daming.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhu Zilong also allowed those subordinates to bring one-third of the goods, that is, tea, back to the transit station.

Subsequently, Zhu Zilong's fleet continued to advance towards Japan!

Soon, because Zhu Zilong's younger brother and the newly recruited sailors had some original Fujian people.

And these people have all been to Nagasaki before, so after paying the docking tax, it is easy to enter the Japanese dock.

The team of twenty or thirty large ships, plus a huge copycat Zheng He treasure ship, made people look sideways, and even shocked the local Japanese family members, and specially arranged people to receive them.

Some Ming intermediaries who can speak Ming and Japanese have come forward to help make a familiar face.

After a round of chatting, everyone became familiar. In this Japanese territory, women are cheap, and although the old sailors are not young, they are illiterate and old. But at that time, when the silver of the white flowers was taken out, naturally those thirteen or fourteen-year-old Japanese girls would come up. Zhu Zilong didn't stop him, but just explained that he should pay attention to hygiene! (Men understand it.) ）

Everyone is a man on the sea, and there is not even a female mosquito at sea, so he assured Zhu Zilong with a smile, and began to soak Japanese women in groups of three or five. XXOO's time waits for no one!

What the?

Who do you say will carry the cargo of the fleet?

Ha, what do prisoners of war eat? Let you sleep on it as an uncle? Those thirty pirate prisoners of war, as well as the employees of the merchant ships, add up to a hundred, and you will not be tired!

Of course, there are also Japanese people on the docks in Japan who are willing to work as cattle and horses, so you can just give some money.

Under the surveillance of Zhu Zilong's subordinates with guns, the junior brothers didn't have to work at all, just as the supervisor leader.

A group of people followed Zhu Zilong and strolled through the streets of Nagasaki, and many Ming people were also eye-opening for this exotic scenery. Japanese houses are very peculiar, generally there is no foundation, but a stake is used to pad a space under the house, and the floor is laid on top, and the walls of the house are not made of masonry, but with wooden frames pasted with paper!

In the modern 21st century, Zhu Zilong has never been abroad, but now it is good that he came to Japan hundreds of years ago.

Zhu Zilong walked around the Japanese shopping streets, and found that most of the shops that could make big profits had business dealings with the Zheng family or the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan. I thought, sure enough, the Zheng family and the pirates on the southeast coast have been operating here for a long time, but fortunately, I am also here, and I can't let them eat alone in the future!

When I found that the price of copper and silver here in Japan was very cheap, even only about half of that of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zilong let out a long breath, he didn't know what he wanted to buy back to Daming, but now he knows!

Sure enough, history books and modern materials do not lie.

It is true that Japan has a large number of minerals such as gold and silver.

It is not unreasonable for later generations to call it "the country of metal resources". The main reason is that nearly two-thirds of the ground in Japan is the eruptive rocks of the Cenozoic and New Igneous rocks, and the geological tectonic movement is fierce and there are many faults, resulting in small ore deposits, thin ore layers and high ore impurity content.

Coal, limestone, sulfur, copper, bismuth and other reserves are relatively large. Coal is mainly found in Hokkaido and Kyushu. Japan's coal reserves are about 8.6 billion tons, and the proven mineable reserves are only 1 billion tons, of which two-thirds are close to the sea and can be easily transported!

Among metal ores, copper reserves and mining are among the highest. There are more than 2,000 copper mining areas, mainly in Tochigi, Iwate, Akita, and Ibaraki prefectures on the island of Honshu. Sulfur is mainly produced in Honshu and Hokkaido.

In the original history, the overseas sources of silver in the Ming Dynasty were mainly Japan and the Americas, and the huge demand for silver in the Ming Dynasty directly stimulated the silver mining in relevant countries and regions, and gradually formed a silver trading system centered on the Ming Dynasty.

When the Portuguese came to Japan in the 1540s, they initially joined the pirate gangs of the Wakos, but when they realized that the Sino-Japanese silk and silver trade could be very profitable, they actively participated in the trade and started an active intermediary trade.

That is, exchanging Chinese silk for Japanese silver and expanding the scope of trade to Europe.

Almost immediately after Spain's expansion into Asia, it was discovered that silver was the most profitable way to exchange for Chinese goods, followed by a frenzied mining and transportation of silver mines in the Americas.

The vast majority of ancient Japanese silver production, as well as three-quarters of the world's silver production in the Americas, flowed into China.

The total number is extremely large (silver has only been mined in Japan for about 90 years). The Ming Dynasty's inflow of silver into China through maritime trade far exceeded the total amount of silver mined domestically during its more than 270 years.

So much so that at that time, Westerners put forward another focus of "world trade", which must be placed in the perspective of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, Zhu Zilong is coming to grab business, hehe, hehe, hehe!
