Chapter 158: Buy, buy, buy, don't buy, you're not human
To be honest, the inflated price of porcelain in the territory is simply explosive.
The production speed in Shuangbi County is expanding very fast. There is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going every day. Porcelain, kaolin bricks, and newly developed dyes have become a new development for businessmen doing business here.
Now, the trade flow of Hejin Port, Shuangbi County, Changjinwei County, and Jincheng County has reached more than 10,000 Haiperun (throwing away the porcelain against the sky) every month. It's nowhere near as good as the booming Sea of Azov, but the potential is already on the horizon.
"Transporting porcelain from China to the West took a few years to complete. Therefore, the price of porcelain has swelled rapidly, and 45000 is already the most common price. But that kind of porcelain was very precious, and each caravan was able to successfully transport only a few sets. We ship 300 sets a month, isn't it crazy? Qin Changan whispered, he took another sip of tea, and said, "How can we use such a huge gold coin stored in the warehouse?" If you don't spend it, it's a useless pile of scrap metal. But if it is spent, won't Chijing's economy collapse explosively? The king often said that inflation will ruin Chijing! ”
Qin Cang felt the seriousness of such a large amount of money in the warehouse at this moment.
Remember how Spain died? A large amount of precious metals poured into the country, prices flew again and again, everyone speculated on everything, and finally destroyed the entire industry. Every year, the whole country takes huge sums of precious metals to England, Holland and Italy to buy all sorts of things. It can be said that this legacy has not been solved until now.
Spaniards are notoriously lazy, and the root cause is that the economic deformity of the past 200 years has made Spain like a consumer terminal, but the more consumer terminals, the more vulnerable it is to fluctuations. The industrial sprouts of the whole country were cut off, the nobles were stupid, the people were stupid, and everyone went to grow cash crops, and it was vaguely like returning to the Middle Ages.
The root cause of Spain's many famines is also here, either grazing sheep or growing cash crops, and only the most incompetent will grow food. So there was a recurrent famine.......
"Shhh...... Thankfully, all this money is in our treasury. If we were to distribute it to the market, wouldn't we be condemned by the raging people immediately? Zhang Qi shuddered. He was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and he was originally going to put the money on the market so that the merchants would have more money to make.
"What if we want to get this money back into the market now, but still keep our interests?" Qin Cang scratched his head and said.
"Let's immigrate first. We need a large number of migrants to backfill the banks of the Dnieper in the section of Kyiv, Pereyaslav, Cherkasy. There were already architectural foundations there, the newly incorporated Cossacks to the west, and the Tatar tribes with whom we had good relations to the east. If this market is opened, coupled with intermodal transportation on both sides of the Dnieper, our market will be bigger and the economy will improve. ”
Qin Changan took the lead in proposing. In their minds, the exchange of people and immigrants is a concept, which is the result of forcible exchange.
"Yes, open up the market. Make a note of this first. And then what? ”
Everyone looked at each other, do you have any other way? Hurry up and spend the money? How to spend such a large amount of money?
"Can we ....... Take the money to buy land? Zhang Qi suddenly mentioned.
"Elaborate."
Zhang Qi spread out the map.
"Your Majesty, look. If we are going to get this money out quickly and not cause economic disruption in the local area, we must find a way to spend it quickly. At present, we are already the number one business core within the Black Sea. So can we consider exchanging money for land? We can buy the land by the sea of Georgians and sell the goods nearby. In addition, in Trabzon, in Sinop in the Kandal Sultanate (near present-day Sinop Province in Turkey), we can buy their land at a large price. It's entirely in our interest. Also, I think Wallachia is a place to consider. They held the lower Danube estuary, but did nothing. We can pay for the land in Lake Lazim and the Danube Estuary Delta to build our port. So that we can get goods that go down the river from the Danube. ”
Zhang Qi's words are not unreasonable. What do you think? Qin Cang asked the princes of the Taiwan Pavilion.
"At present, this may be the only way."
Qin Cang thought about it and spent a few more points on the map.
"It's not just the Black Sea. Go and ask that unfortunate man in Constantinople how much we are going to expand the lease of Port Sophie, and how much will it cost to get the wasteland southeast of his city. Also, ask the Venetians if the islands of Euboea and Chios and Crete are for sale. There is also the Principality of Arceperago, the port of Naxos is not wanted, and the rest of the places can be bought. Further west we went to Conrado, who was in charge of the trade between the two Sicilies, and asked him if we wanted to buy land in Sicily to build a port and let him transfer it. ”
Several pavilions were stunned by Qin Cang's tone! Oh my God, are you ready to buy the whole Aegean?
"Oh yes." Qin Cang suddenly looked at Zhang Qi.
"Since we are at odds with the Mamluks, let's contact the Hafs. We ****** if we can buy land and open a commercial building. Remember, we're not leasing land, we're buying! ”
He didn't know how much money was piled up in Qin Cang's warehouse. Combined, there may be more than a million Happeron.
Of course, this price is far inferior to that of Northern Italy. In the Grand Duchy of Florence alone, 300,000 ducats are recorded in a year. Qin Cang needs to go further.
"I'm afraid the Hafs dynasty can't. It was the land of the ****** people. No matter how good he is, Conrad can't do it. The trade in grain, the gold they rely on, is their foundation, and they will not agree to it. Zhang Qi, who was familiar with the situation, shook his head and said.
"Then try it too. I don't believe in Hafs's sultan, so I don't have any idea? ”
So, when the audit house was like a mad dog crazy to audit the goods, Yang Xiugao led more than 30 apprentices he brought with him to set off together.
Yang Xiugao himself was in charge of Georgia, Trabzon, Kandal Sultanate, and the Principality of Wallachia let Qin Fusheng come out. The rest of the group sailed to Venice, Sardinia, the Aegean lands and Hafs.
For a time, rumors that the terrible Khan was particularly rich spread again throughout northern Italy. People bit their ears and speculated on which piece of land he would shoot towards.
