After harvesting the land, the next thing is to harvest gold and silver, Zhu Cijiong has made a lot of money this time, in less than a year, he has almost invested 500 million taels of real money and silver in the Mughal Empire to buy various materials, and now he is a loser rather than a rich man.

His four companies don't have so much gold and silver reserves at all, and almost half of them use the principal of dragon coins, which means that if there is a run on dragon coins, he will immediately go bankrupt, because he doesn't have so much gold and silver to buy and issue dragon coins now.

Of course, with such a stable situation in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to have a run on dragon coins in a short period of time, on the contrary, the issuance of dragon coins is in a period of rapid growth, and now the dragon coins issued every month have risen from the initial 20 million taels to the terrifying 50 million taels, that is to say, the principal of the light dragon coins has accumulated to almost 500 million taels!

According to this momentum, in another year, the issuance of dragon coins will exceed one billion taels, this number is quite terrifying, if you want to fight a trade war with a certain country, he can casually extract three or four hundred million taels of real money from the principal and smash it, in this era, there are really few countries to bear.

Of course, those are not his personal money, he can only borrow it, and he still has to make it back in the end, and the extent to which his personal assets can be expanded depends on the harvest of this sheep shearing operation.

In fact, before this, he had obtained two profits, the 30 million taels of real money and silver on the treasure ship of the Dutch East India Company had already been transported back to Daming, and the East Road army had almost made nearly 20 million taels of profits by advancing the Daming Royal Xinglong Firm all the way, of course, these were far from enough.

The third and fourth tranches of revenue were coming soon, and after occupying Batavia and Delhi, Ma Xianglin and Lu Xiangsheng coincidentally thought of taking control of the vaults of the Dutch East India Company and the treasury of the Mughal Empire.

The vaults of the Dutch East India Company were not surprising, because they were so large and could make only a limited amount of money, and in the end, the total value of the real money in them was about 30 million taels.

The treasury of the Mughal Empire is different, you must know that nearly half of the land in the entire Mughal Empire is the private property of the royal family, and the crazy acquisition of the Ming organization happens to be mostly agricultural and sideline products, and the wealth earned by Shah Jahan is amazing, which can be imagined.

However, in the end, the data calculated by Lu Xiangsheng still frightened Zhu Cijiong, and in the treasury of the Mughal Empire, there were more than 10 million taels of gold alone, and only a few million taels of silver.

What is the concept of more than 10 million taels of gold, and now the price of gold and silver is one to forty, that is to say, the gold in the treasury of the Mughal Empire alone is worth more than 400 million taels of silver!

Is this number exaggerated? In fact, it is not an exaggeration at all, the most famous Taj Mahal of the Mughal Empire was built by Shah Jahan, according to the price ratio at that time, it cost nearly two million taels of gold just to buy gems and crystals, and then the Mughal Empire is a big new gold temple, a temple costs tens of thousands of gold, this country has a special preference for gold, gold is a symbol of identity and status, as the emperor of Shah Jahan naturally not to mention, It is estimated that he should have scooped up most of the gold in Daming's acquisition in order to gather such a terrifying wealth.

After Zhu Cijiong learned the news, he felt so comfortable in his heart, this handful, almost all the investment was recovered, and the next income was all pure profit, this time it was really a big profit.

For this reason, he decided that in the future, when expanding the capital, he would build a palace for Shah Jahan and the royal family of the Mughal Empire, and build it according to the scale of his palace, in recognition of his contribution to the Ming Empire!

Then it was time for the real sheep shearing, the elites of the Daming Royal Xinglong Firm and the Daming Portuguese Trading Company gathered in Goa, and even Kong Dede came back, and under the auspices of Zhu Cijiong, the two companies finally set the prices of various commodities.

The most important of these is, of course, grain, and the price set by Zhu Cijiong is still ten taels and one stone, so how much grain did the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm and the Ming Portuguese Trading Company buy from the Mughal Empire?

It's really not that I don't know, I'm shocked, this crazy acquisition, I actually bought more than 100 million stones of grain from the Mughal Empire, so much grain, can it be sold?

There is no need to worry about this, you must know that the population of the Mughal Empire is nearly 50 million or so, even if it consumes an average of one stone of grain per month for two people, it is 25 million stone a month, which is enough for four months, and even if the Mughal Empire resumes production now, when there is grain output, it will be at least half a year later, and more than 100 million stones of grain is not enough for half a year.

In other words, this alone can earn almost a billion taels!

Although there are not many other materials purchased, according to the set price, the value is almost nearly 500 million taels of silver, so calculated, this time alone, Zhu Cijiong will earn more than one billion taels of silver, which is equivalent to scraping away nearly eighty percent of the gold and silver circulating in the market of the Mughal Empire!

Of course, this is only the expected profit, how to sell everything is a problem, and the commoners who participated in the riot and the nobles who were lucky enough not to be plundered by the rioters are willing to take out the money to buy things.

Don't underestimate these problems, according to the report of the Jinyi Wei secret agent, most of the civilians who participated in the riot did not dare to dig out all the gold and silver ingots they had stolen to buy food, because they were afraid, how much is a gold brick the size of a brick worth? That's tens of thousands of taels, you can buy tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of catties of food, how many people dare to take it out at once!

Anyway, now that the country is occupied by you, what if you directly rob it? There is no place to cry when the time comes!

Therefore, most of the civilians used the broken gold and silver to buy food, and bought a little at a time to ensure that they would not starve to death.

This kind of consumption, the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can only earn back the gold and silver in their hands, you must know that the golden time can be half a year, and when the first wave of grain is harvested, the price will slowly return to normal, and at that time it will make a fart!

At this time, Zhu Cijiong thought of the advantages of dragon coins, which are easy to carry, if you carry a large gold brick on your body, everyone can see it, but if you carry a dragon coin on your body, the ghost can't see it.

It just so happens that dragon coins are always to be promoted in the Mughal Empire, and if all civilians can use dragon coins, then they don't have to worry about revealing their money.

How to make all the civilians believe it, this has been rehearsed once in the Ming Dynasty, and all the officials understand that it is more demonstrative, so the number of people from all over the Mughal Empire who took dragon coins to buy things from the branch of the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm and the Ming Portuguese Trading Company suddenly increased, and the civilians of the Mughal Empire gradually understood that this kind of paper money could also be used as money.

Then, Zhu Cijiong rebuilt the branch of the Daming Royal Xinglong Firm and the Daming Portuguese Trading Company in the Mughal Empire, separated from many single rooms, and only one person was allowed to enter at a time, as for whether to buy things or exchange dragon coins, it will definitely be kept secret for you!

After another deliberate demonstration, the civilians of the Mughal Empire finally began to follow suit, and more and more people exchanged gold and silver ingots for dragon coins, and some people even directly carried a large box of gold bricks into it, and then a basket of grain came out, who knows how much money he exchanged.

This time finally invigorated the economy of the Mughal Empire, and the Ming royal Xinglong business earned more and more gold and silver, and a shipload of real money and silver was transported back to the Ming Dynasty from the Mughal Empire, more frequently than when it came.

Zhu Cijiong estimated that his vault and silver vault were about to burst out, alas, they had to be expanded, what a happy trouble!
