Chapter seven hundred and seventy sixth: the general trend of the world

Liu Wenxiu's expression did not show anything, but suddenly understood something.

The reason why my mentor mentioned this "Accounting for the Announcement" was that he wanted to repeat what happened in Edo in the Ming Dynasty or Liaodong.

By allowing the vassal kings and nobles from all over the world to migrate to the capital or Lushun, they also bring their wealth together.

Once things are accomplished, not only will the Ming Dynasty or Liaodong be able to control the various vassal states more effectively, but it will also be like using this to absorb the wealth of the vassal states in the world.

These merchants sharpened their knives one by one, wishing they could attack everywhere in the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong, because only in this way could they create huge demand. After all, a cannon would be fired, and gold would be tens of thousands of taels.

Moreover, the conquered land has become their market, as it is said that killing two birds with one stone.

But obviously his mentor was not willing to commit more murder, or in the inherent thinking of the Ming Dynasty, war will never be the first option.

If an expanded version of the consultation and explanation is made, even if the vassal states are more surrendered, it will inevitably break the barriers of the market. After all, the upper class of others has moved here and has to stay here every year. How can it not increase the circulation of goods?

The most important thing is that with so many nobles coming here, the consumption power of these people must not be underestimated.

You should know that in this era, civilians do not have much consumption capacity, and nobles are obviously different. A noble is at least equal to the consumption capacity of hundreds or thousands of civilians, because the nobles not only need to maintain the expenses of luxury themselves, but also their large amount of wives, concubines and children, not to mention their food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as their large expenses of personal guards and servants.

In this way, it was equivalent to the nobles using the money and grain they obtained from their fiefs in the vassal states to create a huge consumer market in Lushun and other places out of thin air.

At this time, Liu Wenxiu said with some concern: "I'm afraid the vassal states will not agree."

Zhang Jingyi obviously didn't care. He looked at him and said calmly: "This is the best choice for them. I think their envoys will gradually arrive in the capital or Liaodong. They will obviously feel the atmosphere of this capital and Liaodong. If they are willing to talk carefully, they will naturally not lose their rank, but if they refuse, it would be fine. My teacher repeatedly said that I have no prejudice or malice towards them, and I am extremely reluctant to meet them. However, when we really meet in the future, we have to do it. Both the court and the Liaodong side are under pressure."

Zhang Jingyi's meaning is very clear.

Liu Wenxiu was not surprised, so he nodded and said, "Students understand, students should go and have a good time first, but we cannot bring up this matter ourselves, we have to let them bring up."

Zhang Jing smiled and said with satisfaction: "It's so good. The Jinyiwei should pay more attention to the affairs of the foreign vassals. Don't always keep your eyes on the inside and outside the pass."

Liu Wenxiu also smiled and said, "This is the truth. In fact... the reputation of the Jinyiwei has improved in the past two years."

Zhang Jing smiled and smiled.

Zhang Jing knew that the Jinyiwei was still these Jinyiwei. The reason why the reputation of the Jinyiwei was better was because the environment changed.

Once upon a time it was an inclined environment.

What does the Jinyiwei mainly do? He is staring at all officials! In the past, who was not frightened when he heard it, and who did not grit his teeth behind his back?

But what about now? Although the Jinyiwei is also staring at all officials, he occasionally involves some major players due to some cases.

However, the Jinyiwei’s work is now more about collecting public opinion, especially after the establishment of the Thousand Houses of Fujian and Guangdong, this trend has become more obvious.

For the current big and officials, the actions of the Jinyiwei just cater to these upstarts to seize benefits from the outside, establish new commercial channels and market psychology. Everyone hopes that the Jinyiwei will penetrate into all aspects of the world and open up the market for their goods in the future as an outpost.

Because of this, the conflicts between each other naturally eased greatly, and the tense relationships in the past began to become interdependent.

After seeing Liu Wenxiu off, Zhang Jing rested with peace of mind.

The next morning, Zhang Jing got up early in the morning, and after dressing properly, she first went to attend the inauguration ceremony of a new wharf.

After that, I met some maritime merchants.

These maritime merchants are now expanding their trade.

After the joint fleet was wiped out, the Wangyang, which was originally controlled by Florence and the Netherlands, formed a new power vacuum.

It happened to be that the Ming Dynasty completely lifted the maritime ban, and suddenly the competitors were lost on the ocean. In addition, with the protection of the Ming Navy, the trading posts and ports originally established by European countries in the Western and Eastern Oceans were also taken over by the Ming Dynasty.

At this time... the waterway was ready-made, the market needed to be ready-made, and the port was ready-made, so many maritime merchants naturally began to gradually replace the original Flangji and the Netherlands merchants.

For example, trade with Japan.

At this time, Japan adopted a strategy of banning the sea, but left a hole, that is, merchants in Edo allowed to cooperate with the Netherlands to conduct import and export trade.

The Netherlands were gone, but Japan still longed for a large amount of silk, porcelain, and Western spices. In this way, the Han merchants took the Netherlands merchants and replaced them, and obtained the original Netherlands franchise.

It was not until this time that these maritime merchants were very eye-opening.

Only then did those who relied on land to make benefits realize that this almost monopoly trade spread could be as large as ten times or even hundreds of times.

For a moment, going to the south of Jiangdong and Liaodong became popular, and new cargo ships were customized everywhere, and ports and docks were extremely busy.

In addition to the Japanese and Western countries, they learned about other waterways from the captives of the Netherlands and Flangji, including America, Kunlun, and beyond Europe, so many people began to venture into the sea.

There is no way, the profit is too big and too tempting.

There must be brave men under great rewards. Those honest farmers now give him ten times and thirty times the income, and they are willing to go into the sea with a scream.

Even in Liaodong, sea routes are also the most important commercial route besides land railway transportation. Because of the development of ships, more waterways and hydrological conditions are controlled, which reduces the risk of going into the sea a lot. Therefore, the waterways from Lushun to Quanzhou, Songjiang Prefecture, Denglai, and Tianjin Wei are extremely busy.

Almost every day, dozens or hundreds of ships go out to sea, and almost the same number of ships enter the port.

Therefore, in order to moor more ships to replenish more supplies, the port in Lushun had to establish more and more supplies.

The maritime merchants warmly welcomed this. When they saw Zhang Jingyi, they saluted and greeted each other.

Zhang Jingyi also politely asked about some sea-to-sea trade.

Of course, he would never believe in these maritime merchants. After all, the news in these people is mostly true and false.

It is true to make money, and there are risks. Of course, these people's homicides are becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy. Now for them, going to sea and goods sent back from various places are easy to deal with, but what they really lack is ships.

In order to seize the initiative and start to think of ways to claim loans, many maritime merchants hope to place more ship orders.

This has also triggered a great prosperity in the shipbuilding industry, so many orders have been placed in two years.

At this time, Liaodong's advantages suddenly appeared. Whether in Quanzhou or Denglai, there were many shipbuilding workshops, but most of the orders were almost in Liaodong.

The reason is also the plan of the ironclad ship. The construction of the ironclad ship was a force to grow. In order to build the ship, tens of thousands of craftsmen involved hundreds of thousands of people derive upstream and downstream industrial chains around the ship.

Not only that, in order to overcome many technical difficulties, countless craftsmen and technicians have come up with solutions after solutions almost day and night.

Nowadays, it is easy to build a merchant ship in Lushun. A large number of skilled craftsmen and various new merchant ships are not comparable to other ports.

Although the merchant ships built here are still made of wooden, they have obvious advantages such as wind and wave resistance, ship speed, and cargo loading capacity, which are significantly stronger than in other places.

Just this... the cost of the production is not more expensive than that of other port cities.

After all, the cost of engineering also requires experience. Shipyards in the pass often find that the cost is getting more and more expensive and it is difficult to control the cost.

There are countless talents in this area in Lushun’s shipyards, and there are also many workshops in various supporting shipyards in Lushun.

Of course, in addition to complaining that the ship orders take two or three years to arrive, the main complaints are some problems overseas, such as the difficulty of traveling business, and being made difficult by local local officials.

Although they make money by dumping goods to local people.

But there are many complaints about the natives.

Zhang Jingyi actually knew that maritime merchants were definitely the group in the world who wanted the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong navy to fight all over the world. After all, they were doing business with people, so they could follow the army to rush to get incense.

Zhang Jingyi just listened silently to these remarks, but didn't say much, that is, he did not follow the wishes of these people and expressed his malice towards the vassals, but he did not mean to stop them.

He just waited quietly!

Let's make a fuss, everyone makes a fuss. When the vassal states are all frightened and messy, it is the time when Zhang Jing comes out to do peace.

Sure enough, something happened in less than a month.
