Chapter 1118: If you can't beat it, enjoy it
The surrender of the Spaniards made the British completely lose the ability to retaliate against the Spaniards, because they could not defeat the Chinese Empire.
Don't look at the steam engine that everyone is using now to the Chinese Empire is the best, the United Kingdom is second, Spain uses the Chinese Empire, but the cruising speed is all up and down ten and twelve knots, the Chinese Empire has not exceeded much, the fastest speed of the Chinese Empire is only sixteen or seventeen knots, Britain is about the same, but the Chinese Empire can last, the British can only reach it when fighting, not at the time of the battle, or at the last moment, the British dare not drive the fastest, because there is no supplement, That's how they put the boilers on their battleships.
At most, there is a group of spare, some do not, directly on a group of boilers, and the main power is the sail, they believe in the sail, the boiler in their opinion is the standby and auxiliary, which is the understanding and interpretation of the steam engine technology of the two companies, the use of different ways to cause.
Looking at the Spaniards where more and more warships, the British finally woke up, who is in charge here, the Chinese Empire.
So the new British governor sent someone to invite Charlie Ding, asked Charlie Ding to mediate, Britain and the Chinese Empire ended hostilities, formally established trade relations, Tong Dawei, who was acting as the governor of Southeast Asia, returned to the Southeast Asian governor's palace, received the visiting British governor, and then the two sides sat down to talk about some cooperation matters, and allowed the British to establish contacts in the Chinese Empire.
The British merchants who came this time were allowed to do business in the Chinese Empire, and were given a certificate of doing business in the Chinese Empire certified by the Governor-General of Southeast Asia.
Yes, foreigners who come to the Chinese Empire to do business must have a business permit or a passage permit, otherwise they will be regarded as spies, arrested and handled, although there is no place for the prison guards prisoners and criminals during the war years like the punishment camp, but the garrisons in various places still have their own prisons, which can be detained, and then tried by the institutions at the same level of the criminal department in various places, and then dealt with separately, either detained, or executed on the spot, or handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has handed over to the cabinet, so the Ministry of Criminal Affairs handed over the criminals to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's already easy, you don't need to go through the emperor anymore.
The British were richer than the Spaniards, and at the very beginning they ordered 100 warships decommissioned from the Chinese Empire, ranging from 1,000 tons to 3,000 tons, and even bought 200 merchant ships of several hundred tons that had been converted into merchant ships by the naval division garrison and then sold back for maritime trade, and then ordered 500 steam engine paddle steamers ranging from ten tons to several hundred tons for use as inland river transport boats in India.
This transaction directly exceeded 20 million Chinese dollars, and the British bought 500 tons of steam engine and propeller parts provided by the reconstructed Spaniards, a total of 1,000 pieces, and the direct transaction amount was 30 million Chinese dollars, and the British used Spanish gold and silver, as well as Chinese dollars in their hands, as well as Indian tea, silk, and various products to offset all the value of the goods paid in Chinese dollars.
A lot of local special products and agricultural products from Southeast Asia, including grain and other commodities, were purchased, and the total transaction volume reached 100 million Chinese yuan trade volume, which made the Southeast Asian governorate of the Chinese Empire suddenly developed, and the financial revenue, which was previously overstretched, is now abundant.
Tong Dawei ordered a part of the benefits, such as the part compensated with goods, directly distributed to the garrison and field army garrison troops of the Southeast Asian Governorate, as well as various government yamen, almost 10 million profit goods, although in the end, each department is not much, but this is a rare benefit other than wages, all departments in Southeast Asia immediately rejoiced and sang praises to Tong Dawei.
Tong Dawei handed over 30 million profits to the center of the Huaxia Empire, which was all the gold and silver, and a part of the materials, as well as all the part paid by Huaxia Yuan.
Most of the merchandise and about twenty million Chinese dollars were left for the Viceroyalty of Southeast Asia, and the rest, which were the transactions of the shipyards, the Naval Division's Headquarters, and the Naval Coast Guard, and those profits were not at his disposal, and some of the profits were the profits and transactions of the steam engine manufacturers controlled by the Empire's central control, and the shipyards' parts manufacturing departments.
At the same time, Tong Dawei also suggested to the British Governor-General that the Chinese Yuan should be used as the currency of the British Indian colonies, or as the payment currency, so that it would be more convenient for the Indian colonies to trade with the Chinese Empire.
Within a few months, both the Spanish colonies and the British Indian colonies used commodities to obtain about tens of millions of Chinese dollars as a means of payment for transactions with the Chinese Empire.
In the past, it was not that there were no Indian princes and nobles who stored the Chinese Yuan currency of the Chinese Empire, and the amount was not small, about equivalent to the scale of billions, but the circulation was not smooth, so that those currencies were lost in India, and the Chinese Empire could no longer print a considerable amount of currency into the market, in case the Indians used these currencies, the materials and currency of the Chinese Empire would be inflated, because the money was not equivalent to the amount of gold and silver collected by the Chinese Empire.
You could have bought an item for ten dollars, but when that money comes in, it's worth twelve dollars, and then you find that the price has gone up, and then the money becomes worthless.
Although billions of Chinese dollars are nothing compared to the hundreds of trillions of Chinese yuan circulating currency in the Chinese Empire, it is a concentrated influence on the Southeast Asian market and the Western Regions market, because they buy things closest to the Southeast Asian Governorate, and their consumption is also here, so it will disrupt the market here, so Tong Dawei's purpose is to make this money circulate in the market as soon as possible. These currencies can only be mined.
When these currencies come in, there are corresponding commodities, such as the old and decommissioned merchant ships that were used in the past, which can be sailed to India as inland river transport ships, and the warships can be sold to India as new merchant ships for trade, so as to promote the trade between Southeast Asia and India, so that money can make money, so that the goods produced by the Chinese Empire can be bought by the Indians through these money, and the money will eventually be returned to the Chinese Empire, and become the means of production and materials, become commodities, and commodities can be exchanged for commodities back to India, and goods from Britain and Spain.
It can be said that up to now, the British and Spaniards have basically been dealt with, so that they can continue to be quiet and continue to be obedient, and conduct regular commercial trade with the Chinese Empire, which has promoted the commercial trade of the Chinese Empire, at least the Viceroyalty of Southeast Asia and the coastal area of Guangdong.
This is similar to the Qing Dynasty and Turkey, but Turkey and the Qing Dynasty are not as fond of tossing as the two of them, they have always been honest, and they don't see anything that the Chinese Empire is targeting or unwilling, Spain is now at a disadvantage, and they don't have much to be proud of in the West, so they are more honest, and the British were driven out by the Chinese Empire, secretly and openly for so long, there must be unwilling, and they will definitely do things in the future, but now they are honest.
