Chapter 456: Huge Trade

Of course, the so-called great voyage has never been a proper term for Europeans, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean in China, and the Arabs have mastered the most advanced navigation technology for a long time, monopolizing the shipping lanes of the Indian Ocean.

In the 17th century, Arabia also gave birth to a true sea power, Oman, which defeated the Portuguese to occupy East Africa and control the Near Eastern shipping routes.

You must know that the main battleships of the Oman Empire at that time had 60 guns, and the technology was the most advanced in Europe at that time.

But in the Arabian region, the Omani Empire was difficult to support alone, because the Omani Empire's own territory at that time had too few people and insufficient spending power, so it could only act as middlemen for the Europeans, and finally cooperate with the British to do business.

Of course, if this is the case, in fact, in the end, the Omani Empire can also rise to become a more powerful state, adding a modern state to the barren land of Arabia.

However, the Arabs soon fell into infighting, and the naval power of the Omani Empire could no longer take advantage of the infighting, and eventually disappeared into history.

At that time, China was just the opposite of the Omani Empire, firstly, the domestic market was too large, and there was no need to run to the east and west, and secondly, the main commodities of the seafaring trade at that time were only spices produced by Huaxia itself.

But China also has a monsoon climate, and after buying Arabian spices for a few years, our ancestors thought to themselves where you could still make money with this thing, so they planted it themselves.

Well, now it's completely self-sufficient. In fact, during the Age of Discovery, the only major import of goods from China was silver.

In other words, the abundance of Chinese products in that era was the lack of currency. During the Wanli period, our emperor found that the foreigners who came to Quanzhou to sweep the goods were very rich, and subconsciously thought that the nearby Luzon was very rich, and he was ready to attack Luzon to make some money to subsidize the family.

As a result, I found out that the money from the group of foreigners was all shipped from South America, they first loaded silver from South America, and then went to Luzon to buy spices, went to Huaxia to buy tea, silk and porcelain, and then returned to Europe to dump them, making dozens of times the profits of a voyage around the world.

Therefore, if China wants to start a great voyage, the correct order should be to first obtain a large number of seafood and spices from the nearby islands, and then the influx of a large number of commodities leads to the scarcity of currency, and then push the country to decide to knock down the huge production of silver, and then find that the currency is still not enough.

At this time, rumors of large quantities of silver and gold were rumored in the distant Americas, and the demand for precious metals would drive the country to explore and colonize further afield.

But the above series of operations, the Southern Song Dynasty did no problem, Nanming survived the initial difficult stage, and then there was no problem to do it.

But these two small courts were destroyed.

Of course, we have a final choice, which is to rely on our huge territory and trade market at the end of the Age of Discovery, and then develop our own industries in the future.

Although this development is certainly not as good as that of European countries, the stable advantage of China's great unification will not pull down the Europeans much.

By the time of World War I, the Europeans had their brains out, and China could rise smoothly, but as a result, our last feudal dynasty was the Qing Dynasty, which would rather not be a slave to outsiders.

Because at that time, it was necessary to join the world for global trade and maritime hegemony, and it was definitely the coastal Han people who would gain benefits, and it was expected that the Han people would eventually gain the power to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in the process.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty chose another path that went against the entire Chinese nation, but was very suitable for the Manchu aristocracy, which eventually led to a widening gap.

Of course, there is no use in talking about this now.

However, a very important point that Huaxia has learned from this history is that without external threats, the country and the nation will definitely lack self-motivation and can only fall into a cycle of infighting.

In 18.90 China, it was like this, a China without foreign enemies was prone to lose its fighting spirit, but as long as the war was controlled within a reasonable range, it would be beneficial to the international community.

It just so happened that Huaxia on the same plane could also send troops to fight in 1890 to achieve the effect of military training, and other countries could not tell the difference between the two armies anyway.

And this is another purpose of China on both sides, military training.

The two sides of the Huaxia immediately used this method to induce various countries to continuously invest troops in the plane of 1890 and consume their strength.

And the horror of Yangmou is that you know that it is a trap, but you have to step on it step by step, and now all countries are cutting off trade with China and causing the quality of life of their people to decline, just using the war to divert domestic contradictions.

As the war expands step by step, it is not known what the final result will be, but this process is equivalent to a process of blood drawing, no matter whether the final result is good or bad, as long as the dividends from the war are not obtained, the blood of these countries will eventually be pumped clean by the China on both sides.

I just don't know how many years these countries will last. After developing for so long, Huaxia has finally learned the methods of the old empire.

Violent conquest is too unsophisticated, and this kind of soft knife cutting flesh is more likely to destroy the spirit of a country as a whole.

For example, the neon that has changed from a Showa boy to a Heisei dead house, such as the Middle East that has become a mess of porridge.

In the following period of time, Fang Ze stepped up the construction of Shurima, and at the same time went to Valoran to act as an envoy, so that Huaxia's trade team spread throughout Valoran.

At the same time, the profits brought by the cross-plane trade also completely excited the whole of Huaxia.

In the past, Huaxia's large-scale interdimensional trade only involved Valoran and the Great Navigation World, one of these two worlds was a magic system and the other was an ancient plane, so Huaxia didn't have much feeling.

But now it is different, after 30 years of modern development in 1890 and 90 years, China's trade potential is astonishingly huge. Huaxia in 18.90 is not only of the same species and origin as Huaxia in the original plane, but although they have developed for 30 years longer than Huaxia in the original plane, with the help of Penglai, high-level artificial intelligence, gods and scientists in the next 30 years, the technology is more than ten years higher than that of Huaxia in 18.90.

Therefore, the original Huaxia and the 18.90 Huaxia just complement each other, the 18.90 Huaxia can provide a large number of low-end industrial products, and the original Huaxia can provide high-end products, the relationship between the two sides is a bit like the relationship between the previous Huaxia and developed countries.

The originally sluggish Huaxia manufacturing industry began to start working at full strength again, and a large number of idle people in society were absorbed, because there was an artifact such as memory injections, so Huaxia has never lacked relevant researchers and technicians.

The connection between the two planes of China has instantly revitalized the manufacturing industry of the two worlds.
