Chapter 1637
This is not a joke.
Compared with squeezing oil and water from the natives of Nanyang, the Taixi tribes benefited more from Divine Province and Riwa.
Divine Province's porcelain, silk, tea and other products are absolutely in demand in Europe. Goods worth one silver tael here are shipped to Europe, and the value will be appreciated by at least twenty times.
also raw silk-Japanese Japanese have a great demand for raw silk at this time, and the profits of this item alone are as high as tens of millions of taels of silver each year. All the Yis in Taixi are doing this business-smuggling and buying raw silk from the southeast of Divine Province, and then transporting it to Japan for sale. You can earn more than ten times the profit in just a short period of time.
However, this is all yesterday.
With the establishment of the Great Xia Empire, the seas and territories were blocked, and all legal and illegal trade came to an abrupt halt.
This has no effect on the Great Xia Empire itself, but it has a huge impact on the Western barbarians and Japanese Japanese.
During the six months since Great Xia was established, the hearts of Nanyang Xiyi have been burning.
They had to pass the priest, first touch the context of Great Xia Empire.
However, until now, Tang Ruowang and the others have not seen Ying Yi.
And until they left the Imperial Palace, they did not get a clear answer from Ying Yi.
Walking out of the Meridian Gate, Tang Ruowang and Aleni sighed simultaneously, and the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the whole person dropped a lot in an instant.
"The majesty of the emperor of Great Xia is really unbearable." Aleni's face was a little pale, and he talked to Tang Ruowang in Spanish: "I seem to be facing a living God, divine might be like a prison. !"
Tang Ruowang was silent for a moment, and said: "Compared with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Great Xia emperor is completely different. It took him only a few years from the rise to such a huge empire. Time is incredible. He has some misunderstandings about us, as if there is no kindness."
Alelis sighed: "There is an old saying here in Great Xia, which is called'one dynasty, one courtier'. We are here. Ming Dynasty can like a fish back in water, but in Great Xia...the emperor must have a good impression on us, otherwise..."
Tang Ruowang shook the head: "I have seen them In the history books, the founding emperors of each of their dynasties are not ordinary characters. They are determined and unshakable. It seems that we can hardly complete the request of Governor Batavia."
Julian also sighed: "It's not easy to be able to meet. We have already stated Governor Batavia’s plea to the Great Xia emperor. Whether we can get a definite answer, I am afraid that Governor Batavia will also need Spain’s approval. Negotiations on behalf of the envoy."
...
I have seen Taixi biography priest, Ying Yi alone is meditating in the royal study room.
Although he had expected it before, he did not carefully think about the impact of some imperial policies on Xiyi to such an extent.
But this has nothing to do with Ying Yi. However, Ying Yi has produced more thoughts and insights about some of the policies of the empire.
Since the army crossed the river, Jiangnan has also been purged on a large scale. The goal of cleaning is the bad businessmen and the bad gentry. And how many people who started smuggling in the previous dynasty did not have blood in their hands? It is Ying Yi's in-laws, Zheng Family, who also engages in smuggling business. It's just that it's not so harsh, and because of the relationship here, it ignores it. Most of the others have been cleaned.
In addition to the blockade of the sea area, smuggling and sea trade have been completely banned.
This has almost no effect on Great Xia Empire itself. In the previous dynasty, due to the huge profits of smuggling, the handicraft industry in Jiangnan developed rapidly, which involved agriculture. Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice, but as the smuggling trade has grown, many farmlands have been converted to commercial crops such as mulberry and hemp. This is the biggest reason for the difficulty of the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Great Xia took its place. The implementation of the land policy, the purge of bad businessmen and bad gentry, instantly turned the smuggling handicraft industry in Jiangnan back to its original form. The key is that Ying Yi has no plans for foreign trade for the time being-Great Xia is waiting to be flourished, and commoners are getting rich quickly, and their internal needs are far from being met. How can we talk about foreign trade?
For example, raw silk, such as finished silk, tea, porcelain, etc., has been smuggled out in the past to gain profit. While smuggling merchants have been banned, and the relative commoners have become more and more wealthy. Many commoners in the early developed areas, such as Henan, such as Gyeonggi, and commoners in resettlement villages, are already eligible to purchase these properties for their own use.
However, there are not many products on the market.
To open up foreign trade, we must at least wait until the commercial activities that have been suppressed and cleaned up again prosper, and when domestic demand is met to a certain extent, Ying Yi will have a targeted plan for foreign trade.
At this time, the urgency outside is burning like a fire, and Great Xia is sitting firmly like a mountain.
Ying Yi can be sure that if there is no clear response, even if Xiyi is not sure, they will not hesitate to fight. Because the benefits involved are too great. Even if there is only one in ten thousand chance of winning, they will try.
Well, the robbers are always taking risks.
And this is what Ying Yi would like to see. And he is already ready to reclaim the interests of Divine Province in the entire East.
Neither the Japanese nor the South Seas, the entire Nanyue Peninsula and the vast sea frontiers are all set goals of Ying Yi.
Even if the Taixi Zhu Yi did not want to fight, Ying Yi would take the initiative to fight.
He will not give them the response they want. Great Xia Empire is not the end of Ming Dynasty.
Foreign trade will be done, but not now, let alone borrowed from others. The benefits Xiyi gained in Nanyang should have belonged to the Great Xia Divine Province, and that was since ancient times. There is no doubt about it. Can't make a profit!
Europe?
A big voyage?
All this will be ended in Ying Yi's hands!
...
The impact of Great Xia's sea and territorial blockade policy has gradually become prominent. First, the Prince of Taixi passed the request of Governor Batavia, and shortly afterwards, Japanese Japanese envoys came to North Korea.
The Japanese and Japanese missions were led by the son-in-law of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the son-in-law of the contemporary Japanese shogunate, Tokugawa Kotomo, and accompanied hundreds of people. And submit the credentials.
The Japanese country has entered the era of the shogunate. Since Manli was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu took power in the shogunate and gained the power of the Japanese shogunate.
The foreign trade center of Japan and Japan, Nagasaki, is monopolized by the Tokugawa Shogunate.
In other words, Great Xia's coastal defense policy directly affected the self-interest of the Japanese leader.
In the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, the Japanese Japanese aggressively invaded North Korea and fought a battle with the Ming court. Although they ended in defeat, their fierceness was undoubtedly revealed. But that battle also defeated the Japanese Japanese background.
The rise of the Great Xia Empire is not unknown to the Japanese Japanese. After all, time has passed for so long, especially the occasional fleet of the Eastern Sea Army War Zone wandering along the coast of Japan and Japan.
