Opium War.

This is an eternal pain for any Chinese!

The tragedy of Chinese civilization!

Zhou Chonglin and Tai Junlin called it the "Tea War", which was different from the various previous naming and interpretations: "The controversial term 'Opium War' was coined by The Times on April 25, 1840. "Comed out" (Bu Zhengmin et al.'s "The Opium Regime"), many Western scholars call it a "trade war" (as does Chinese scholar Zheng Guanying's "Warnings in the Prosperity"), and other scholars regard it as a "silver war" (Frank "Silver Capital", Lin Manhong "China's Reversal: World Silver Shortage and the Chia-Daoxian Order"), "Currency War" (Song Hongbing "Currency War", Han Yuhai "Who Wrote History in the Past Five Hundred Years") and so on!

But in simple terms.

The root cause of this war is that China earned a large amount of European silver through tea.

The UK, on ​​the other hand, does not want this silver to continue to enter China...

Therefore, they tried to use opium to replace silver and exchange for Chinese tea.

Facts have proved that they did it!

From then on, Chinese civilization ushered in the most humiliating period in history!

National sorrow!

National pain!

This time, among the documents Guo Chao brought.

Liu Zheng wrote in red fonts the importance of tea.

Ling Chen.

There was silence for a long time.

"Hahahaha, since it is the Young Master's order, although Ling Chen cannot understand it, these two orders will definitely be completed!"

Guo Chao then breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply.

...

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

at this time.

Longyan Jinghua.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The civil and military ministers all knelt down and shouted in unison.

Xie Tianyao, listen quietly.

Manager Zhou was singing beside him the financial income of the Longyan Dynasty this quarter.

Double it!

Just double it!

Now, the members of the scholar-bureaucrat group who had been blocking the opening of sea transportation were afraid to let go.

With the adoption and establishment of the Liaodong Special Economic Zone plan.

This time, Xie Tianyao took a drastic step and directly lifted the maritime ban. Of course, there was great resistance. Naturally, the forces of the scholar-bureaucrats in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River did not want to see the lifting of the maritime ban. There was no other reason. If the imperial court lifted the ban, what would they do? Smuggling? Those huge profits will be gone if you say no.

The economic and trade between Long Yan and other countries belongs to the imperial merchants.

For example, a certain country and Long Yan customized as many pieces of silk, as many pieces of ceramics, and as many tons of tea leaves.

This was done by the imperial court, and then the local government coordinated the delivery.

but......

Despite this, many countries in the West have still tried their best to buy silk, spices, and tea from Long Yan over the years.

This also gave the scholar-bureaucrats the opportunity to make money through smuggling...

Over the years, they have accumulated huge wealth through smuggling.

As expected.

As soon as shipping opened, their income was immediately halved.

Long Yan has already liberalized maritime trade, so why are they still smuggling? They can only find ways to collect inferior goods and adopt low-price strategies in an attempt to maintain their considerable income.

Xie Tianyao was also very happy today. Although there was no news about the national jade seal or Liu Shilang, the sharp increase in financial income still made him feel a lot more relaxed. He laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Dear ladies, let me tell you, this Who are the people who come to Longyan to buy silk tea?"

The whole audience laughed.

One person said: "Your Majesty, they are nothing more than a group of barbarians dressed like monkeys!"

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, I heard that these people all have very long hair, and their hair is all yellow!"

"Really or not?"

"Yellow-haired monster?"

"Is this okay?"

A group of people started chattering.

In fact, various foreigners have come to Longyan for a long time, but they can only travel here and then run away. Even those businessmen from the Netherlands can only have some contact with businessmen.

, it is really difficult to enter the "hall of elegance", so these people have no understanding of what foreigners look like.

"Is yellow hair weird?"

Xie Tianyao smiled faintly: "I have heard of it, and he even spoke in the language of birds. Can such a person actually learn the tea ceremony of our Yangyang Longyan?"

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

A minister came out with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time, there happened to be a Westerner who wanted to meet with Your Majesty and promote our tea trade..."

Xie Tianyao was in a good mood and raised his eyebrows: "Really? Where is it, Xuan! Let me see!"
Chapter completed!
