Chapter 346: Solving Cases and Making Money
Although Jiang Feng's voice was low, the meaning in it was naked, Liu Shunhua suddenly shook after listening to it, although the weather was still warm, but he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
couldn't help but stop and look at his son-in-law carefully, when he first met Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was still a small brocade guard who was assigned to guard the minister's house, and then, this bold young man who didn't understand anything hooked up with his daughter.
Without any scruples, he pointed out the forces that he should rely on in the court, and then both sides began to triple jump, one made a fortune in Beijing, and the other was prosperous in the officialdom.
Then both of them left the capital, at that time he was still quite unwilling, he was already a local third-grade master, but his daughter was robbed of a daring hundred households to be a wife, and then Jiang Feng's dazzling promotion, and quickly climbed to a position similar to himself.
But now, only three years later, this young man said to him with a smile on the land of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state:
"There is no limit to ...... in the future"
What kind of power is it that makes a young man who was just a little brocade guard five years ago covet the entire Ming world today. Liu Shunhua's mind was in chaos, but he was still being helped forward by Jiang Feng with a smile there, unconsciously advancing.....
The surrounding noise made Liu Shunhua wake up from his sluggish memories, Incheon Port is like a mule and horse market in Shandong, very lively, but the object of trading here is not horses, but slaves, white people from Spain and Portugal and Chinese from Nanyang, bringing a large number of Nanyang natives.
The merchants of the Kyoto merchant group haggled loudly there, and the hacienda owners in the south of Java and Malacca were also represented here, constantly revising their slave markets, and what was even more surprising was that a small number of blacks appeared in the market.
The price of black slaves trafficked in Africa in the Americas is still different from that of the East, after the Luzon came back, the Ming Kingdom needed a large number of slaves, and the whole European countries related to the slave trade were boiling, although there was no trade surplus deficit at that time, but the gold and silver plundered in the Americas were always exchanged for ceramics and silk in the East, so they urgently needed some commodities to balance the trade.
But now the Ming Kingdom is an all-encompassing world, he lacks nothing, and now this thing has finally been found - slaves, they lack slaves, and according to the news transmitted by Levire, the governor of Luzon, Spain, the owners of the manors in the East need a large number of slaves, but the natives of the South Seas, like the Indians of the Americas, cannot be suitable for the labor of the manor at all.
After the Spanish conquest of the Americas, they wanted to use the Indians as agricultural laborers, but found that these Indians could not adapt to mature agricultural production, and the natives of the South Seas also had a similar situation, they lived in the tropical rainforest with a superior natural environment, and their cultivation was often to throw the seeds into the land, and then they could wait for the harvest, how can such people compare with the farmers of East Asia and Europe.
On the contrary, blacks are quite suitable for the job, as some simple tests have shown, that blacks are five times more effective at work than the same Indians.
After trafficking in natives a few times, Revere had a fairly clear understanding of the market in Incheon, where a Korean slave was three times more expensive than a Nanyang slave, and the governor, who was praised by the Spanish kingdom, wisely analyzed that after the black man appeared on the estate, he would definitely have a better price and would earn a lot of money for the kingdom.
Of course, there is another sign that has been ignored by the governor this time, that is, in the Incheon market, a small number of Japanese merchants began to appear, and the war of the daimyo was often a fierce battle for one day, with a scale of more than 10,000 people, and no more than 200 casualties.
Although Japan was in the midst of war, the merchants' sea trade did not stop, but became more prosperous, and the prosperity of the sea trade naturally brought the news well-informed, and many people knew that there was a very prosperous human market in Incheon, and the amount of transactions every day was quite huge.
Now on the sea surface of Asia, Jiang Feng and Deng Fang Xu Qi's maritime power is extremely huge, and it is no longer realistic to harass the coast of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is under the firm control of Jiang Feng, and Nanyang is the world of Chinese merchants and Spaniards, and the place where they can make decisions is almost clean.
However, there are still so-called blind spots, one is the Ryukyus, this country also has a population of hundreds of thousands, but now the Japanese pirates are still beyond the reach of the whip, and the second is the so-called enemy soldiers, Japan's current Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku have hundreds of large and small princes, attacking each other.
There will always be a large number of captives in every battle, these captives were reluctantly put back, or all killed, now this is relatively simple, can be sold, the price of the Japanese peasants is much higher than that of the Nanyang natives, selling the peasants in exchange for the natives, you can not only earn cash through the price difference, but also use slaves to cultivate the conquered land, collect more grain, it is really a happy deal.
At first, the daimyo of Kyushu entrusted merchants to trade, but more and more Japanese daimyo began to know about this and joined in.
Liu Shunhua watched this lively transaction along the way, and felt a little sick to his stomach, although the cities of Jingshi and Daming also have human markets, but here has torn off all the disguises, naked people are bought and sold as livestock, and those traders shouted loudly, saying that they brought the quality and quality of slaves to attract customers.
Jiang Feng was surrounded by guards to guard and clear the field, and the merchants on both sides respectfully saluted Jiang Feng who was walking in the middle of the road, Liu Shunhua saw that there was no uncomfortable look on the faces of these people around him, and he was obviously accustomed to such a situation.
From the port to Jiang Feng's residence, if you use it, I'm afraid it will take you to walk for a long time, Jiang Jiajun is not short of money, and there is no shortage of cars and horses, but leading Liu Shunhua around like this is also a little bit of letting Jiang Feng's old man familiarize himself with Jiang Jiajun and see the strength of Jiang Jiajun. Western-style buildings can occasionally be seen between these houses.
After coming here, Liu Shunhua felt that he was suddenly refreshed, and Jiang Feng on the side played the role of explainer and said:
"Now most of the merchants on the sea have bought houses with me, not only the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, but also Westerners and Japanese people!"
Looking at Liu Shunhua's appearance that he didn't know much about, Jiang Feng continued to say there:
"From the mouth of the Nurgan Dusi to Malacca, if you don't fly the flag of my Jiang family on the ship, don't pass through the sea, and now the big business of the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom is negotiated in my Incheon......
Hearing this, Liu Shunhua couldn't help but gasp, the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, but as the political envoy of Zhejiang, he still knew how much silver money could be taken on the ship on the sea, many people in Zhejiang were already amazingly rich, that is, relying on the business on the sea, he also took a lot of all kinds of regular silver, and now Jiang Feng actually said that the merchants on the entire sea have to pay silver here, what an amazing amount this must be.
Liu Shunhua suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient, so many people around him walked around, obviously he couldn't seem too out of shape, and suddenly saw a few people riding over in front of him, these people on horseback obviously saw Jiang Feng and his party, and the guards in front hurriedly signaled to leave.
Liu Shunhua's eyes lit up after seeing it, and he said quite praisefully:
"It's really a miracle horse, is this the legendary BMW horse."
The people around laughed when they heard this, except for the Hequ horse, the horses of the Ming Dynasty are all short Mongolian horses, and it is rare to see this kind of tall and strong horse, and the rich family of the Ming officials at that time was the most particular about famous horses, so Liu Shunhua also knew more or less about this kind of knowledge, Jiang Feng over there explained with a smile:
"This is a horse bought from Franc Ji at a great cost, and now it has been raised in Jeju, if the father-in-law likes it, the son-in-law will choose it and give it away!"
The soldier training in the inner fort of Incheon, the warships and craftsman workshops in the military port, and the full granary, Liu Shunhua was almost pulled by Jiang Feng to look at these places one by one, the anger and panic in his heart gradually went, when he saw the granary, Liu Shunhua felt quite tired, at this time Jiang Feng also achieved his goal, and he was not reluctant, and it was said that Liu Shunhua's send-off meeting was already a prepared mansion, and Liu Fangrui had been waiting there for a long time, and the father and daughter had not seen each other for so long, so there was naturally a touching scene.
In the evening, Jiang Feng feasted the senior civil and military officials and civil health officials of the Jiang family, which was regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for Liu Shunhua, Liu Shunhua After a short rest, and his daughter talked about family life, the next time has been Zhao Xiucai and Su Guanyue explained to him the various systems and arrangements of the Jiang family army in North Korea.
Looking at the smiling faces, Liu Shunhua responded with a decent smile, and he couldn't see the anger in the port at all, he was thinking in his heart:
"Maybe here, it's really limitless......"
