"Xuanke is difficult to be loyal and brave Bolin, a tiger is here!"

With Huang Xiaobao's soft-voiced call, Lin Yihu, the good agent of the Ming Dynasty who is known as Jabus, took a breath and cautiously walked to Zhu Cihong, Huang Jiang, and Mary. The second-floor platform where Mancini was.

"Yihu, don't kowtow, sit down." Zhu Cihong didn't wait for Lin Yihu to kowtow, so he greeted him very warmly to sit down, and said to Mary, "Pour him a cup of milk tea too." ”

The emperor was approachable, but Lin Yihu's careful liver was trembling all the time. A companion is like a tiger! Now the big tiger is smiling at him, and he has asked a very beautiful little tigress to pour him some tea, can he not be afraid? He knew he was a fat pig who was so rich!

But the emperor gave up his seat and he didn't dare to stand, Mary. Mancini handed over the milk tea mixed with the aroma of milk tea, and he didn't dare not accept it.

"Yihu," Zhu Cihong asked with a smile, "how are you doing in the trade of furs and Dongzhu in North Korea outside the Guanguan?" Can it still be done? ”

Lin Yihu's heart sank, and he really asked about the business......

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the ministers can still trade furs and Dongzhu with North Korea outside the Guanguan...... But you can't do it with the Spaniards, you have to find another buyer. But as long as the things are good, don't worry about no one wanting. Even if it is sold in Jiangnan, Dongzhu and fur are not cheap. ”

Dongzhu and fur are actually a seller's market, as long as the things are good, there is no worry about no market. Even if it is not sold to Europe, the purchasing power of the south side of the Ming River is also very strong - now the market of the Ming Dynasty is not smaller than that of Europe, and now the political and social environment of the Ming Dynasty is relatively stable, the policy of Emperor Zhu is also relatively pro-business, the number of tax cards in the territory is not much, and the economically developed areas are concentrated along the coast and the Yangtze River, and the logistics cost is low.

As he spoke, Lin Yihu had already taken out a lacquerware box that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Emperor Zhu with both hands, "Long live Lord, this is a little bit of the minister's heart, please appreciate it." ”

Purpose?

Zhu Cihong glanced at him, reached out to take the lacquerware box, and opened it to see that inside was a pearl necklace, which was made of twenty or thirty white and round eastern beads of similar size.

"Pearl necklace! It's so beautiful......" Before Emperor Zhu could comment, a little Yanmar had already exclaimed.

Zhu Cihong turned his head and glanced at Mary. Mancini, I saw that she was looking at herself with a pair of big watery eyes, full of expectation!

"I've got you!" Zhu Cihong smiled and handed over the pearl necklace, "Conditionally...... You try to make a few more milk teas, and put a little more thought into it. When I returned, I would like to invite Prince Condé, Special Envoy Cockber, Special Envoy Mavel, Ambassador Pitt, Ambassador Dimon, and Governor Schule Paul to come and have tea, and I will drink your Miss Mary's milk tea. ”

Although the pearl necklace is expensive, as long as it succeeds in making the brand of Miss Mary's milk tea...... A necklace is really nothing.

"Thank you, dear!" Little Yanmar immediately pounced in surprise, did not take the necklace, but first kissed Emperor Zhu's unshaven face, and then turned around, turned his back to Emperor Zhu, and lifted his black, curly hair, revealing a white and slender neck, "Your Majesty, you can put it on for me." ”

"Okay," Emperor Zhu nodded again and again, smiled and took out the pearl necklace from the lacquerware box held by Mary, and carefully put it on for Mary, "Come, let me see." ”

Mary turned, but she was looking down with her head down, and she was gently caressing the pearl with her slender fingers.

Zhu Cihong actually didn't think there was anything good to look at - in fact, Mary. Mancini is naturally beautiful, and when he is the most tender and delicious, he does not need any decoration at all, and he looks good without wearing anything.

"Alright, let's go look in the mirror!"

Zhu Cihong knew that Mary's mind was on the pearl necklace, so he waved her hand and gave her a "vacation".

Look at Mary. Mancini left like a gust of wind, and Zhu Cihong smiled and said to Huang Jiang and Lin Yihu: "See? I'm going crazy if I like it...... This pearl really doesn't have to worry about selling! ”

"Furs don't have to worry about selling," Lin Yihu said with a smile, "especially mink, merchants from Jiangnan and Spain can't help but grab them!" ”

Huang Jiang said with a smile on the side: "Of course you have to rob it, it's money when you get it!" Mink, Dongzhu, ginseng...... Pull to Jiangnan is all hot goods, don't worry about selling! ”

None of these things can be produced in large quantities, the supply is limited, and the demand has increased greatly because of the economic development of Jiangnan, of course, the supply exceeds the demand.

And this kind of thing is originally for rich people to play with, as long as the thing is good, it can definitely be sold for money.

Lin Yihu smiled bitterly: "It's not worrying to sell, but there are fewer good things, Dongzhu and ginseng are better, it's about the same every year, but mink is getting less and less every year......"

Go to the Americas and catch it! Zhu Cihong said: North American ferrets...... If you catch it, it's money, hurry up and take a boat to North America to catch it!

Huang Jiang said: "But Dongzhu and mink are not big after all, and it is too much to have hundreds of thousands of millions of freight to Europe." If you really want to make the business bigger, you have to rely on milk tea! ”

Dongzhu and mink are all naturally grown, and the number is limited after all, and they can't be caught indiscriminately, and if they are caught and destroyed, they will smash the jobs of their descendants.

And tea is grown, and there are many of them!

"It's not difficult to promote tea," Zhu Cihong smiled, "Let's let the Mancini sisters and Louis XIV push it first...... I really can't do it, I have another trick! ”

Huang Jiang asked, "Your Majesty, what other tricks do you have?" ”

"Tea can strengthen the body!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Drinking tea, especially green tea, can prevent scurvy...... Drinking tea can prevent illness and live a long life! ”

"Is this true?" Huang Jiang asked.

"Of course it's true......," Zhu Cihong paused, "But don't reveal it unless you have to." Because Westerners don't know this secret yet, their crews will get scurvy after going to sea for a long time, and often a lot of them will die! In the Pacific Ocean, it is a huge advantage that our people do not get sick! ”

However, this secret will not be kept for long, because the Ming Navy has hired too many Western officers, and many Western merchant ships can now freely enter and exit the port and commercial port of the Ming Dynasty. So many Westerners have discovered this very strange phenomenon - Chinese almost no scurvy!

Whether it is the Ming Navy or the merchant ships of the Celestial Empire, they don't know what scurvy is?

Curious Westerners will definitely study this problem, and sooner or later they will find that Western sailors who follow the activities of the Ming Navy never have scurvy......

"The minister understands," Huang Jiang said, "Before our Celestial Empire navy has the Pacific Ocean, the minister will not leak the magic effect of tea." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, and said to Lin Yihu: "Yihu, can your Jiale City Bank turn the focus of business to Europe?" The Huang shopkeeper is mainly in charge of the bank's business, and the task of expanding the European market is given to you! ”

What the? This is going to Europe?

Lin Yihu thought to himself: Who is the Jiale City Tour?

He cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, is the minister going in the name of Gibbs, or in the name of ......?"

"In the name of Jabbs, of course." Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "You, the big proprietor of Jia Le City, are also well-known in Europe, right?" ”

"It's a bit famous." Lin Yihu is ecstatic! Emperor Zhu's meaning, he can continue to be the big boss of Jiale City!

Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Prepare more furs, Dongzhu, and bring dozens of boxes of high-quality green tea and black tea...... There are also lacquerware boxes, which are used to separate furs, pearls, and tea leaves...... If we want to open up the market, we have to make it beautiful.

In addition, we can't just buy and not sell, trade has to be interconnected, only buying and not selling will make the trade unbalanced, for a long time, silver has flowed into China, and Westerners have no silver to buy our things.

Moreover, our Celestial Empire has a large population, a vast territory, a happy people, and a vast market, which is comparable to the whole of Europe, how can we not buy something and come back? You two also know something about Western things, right? Let's talk about it, what do you want to buy back? ”
