Chapter 39: Money Opens the Way

The time when the Perfect docked in Macao has been close to two weeks, in these two weeks, in addition to the trade fair, Wu Zhengdao and others did another thing is to barter, the price of this mirror is as high as tens of thousands of taels of silver, more than a dozen small mirrors plus 20 sets of glass cups, a total of 1.7 million taels of silver. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't know if I don't know this account, I was shocked when I counted it, more than one million taels of silver, and the entire perfect ship was boiling through the crowd, this is real money, just the silver that has been transported on the ship in the past few days has blinded everyone's eyes.

In addition to collecting silver, Wu Zhengdao also agreed that those merchants would pay for the goods, any silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, etc., in short, a list was made, and you should follow the items on the list.

But even so, there are still many people who carry boxes full of silver to the ship every day, and the more this thing is transported, it is not as happy as the first few times.

It is true that silver is a good thing, but this thing is not worth much in Australia, and if those minerals in Australia are mined, I am afraid that there will be no shortage of silver at all.

The key is that Australia lacks manpower and material resources, and it is not much use to ask for silver, so we must find a way to solve it.

If you really pull a boatload of silver back, it is estimated that the foreign trade team will be extremely despised.

"What should I do, just using the goods to mortgage the settlement is the sum of more than 100,000 taels of silver, we have received 10,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that the silver of the entire Macao will flow into our ship."

If you can't pull this silver back is everyone's consensus, then you have to think of using these things, how to use it involves a problem, if according to Yang Yuzhou's statement, the perfect ship goes directly up the coast, and drives into Nanjing along the long import, we all enjoy it, and the money will definitely be spent.

This guy is extremely yearning for Nanjing, and since he heard that the era he traveled to was the 17th century, he didn't forget to meet those famous prostitutes in history.

"Let's recruit workers and immigrants, and then let's set up an office in Macau, or let's bring the whole of Hong Kong down to the concession, what do you think?"

Yang Yuzhou finally put forward a reliable suggestion, Hong Kong is not an international metropolis at this time, maybe it is a small fishing village, and it is not as prosperous as Macau.

If Australia wants to keep in touch with Daming for a long time and conduct trade, it must have a foothold of its own, Macau is good, but this place is a grape man, and people don't want you to be here for a long time.

"I think it's okay to do this, but it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to lease Hong Kong, and the Ming Dynasty will not implement land compensation or anything, otherwise it will not be wiped out by wild boar skins."

That's right, it's really like this, there is a Ming dynasty that does not cede the land, does not pay compensation, does not make peace, and the Son of Heaven guards the country, this is a dynasty that has been praised by many later generations, the reason why so many people on the Internet feel pity for the demise of Ming, in addition to the fact that it already has the germ of capitalism, another important reason is these items.

Therefore, this matter is a bit difficult, even more difficult than recruiting villagers, after all, recruiting villagers can also use some reasons to prevaricate in the past, but if you mow the land or something, which official dares to do it.

"Not necessarily, I think, it's just a bunch of Ming fans who raised the Ming Dynasty, if that's the case, how can Macau be leased to the Portuguese." A guy was a little unconvinced and retorted.

There is something special about Macau, although the Portuguese have certain rights here, but it is definitely not their colony, because Xiangshan County has absolute management rights here, which you can feel yourself, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty can't take care of this small territory.

Wu Zhengdao corrected the young man's opinion, the Portuguese did not dare to start a war with the Ming Dynasty casually, and wanted to rely on a few hundred people to occupy the next city, it was absolutely whimsical, this place was not those uncivilized places in the Americas and the South Seas.

The level of civilization determines the difficulty of occupation, and you can't think about the problem with the same idea, otherwise you will definitely suffer.

However, we can use the Portuguese method, of course, the recruitment of immigrants can also be carried out, we have already said hello to the Xiangshan County Ya, Yuzhou, tomorrow you can bring a few people over there to see, the silver is enough, recruit more young and strong skills, those who have skills will give more than ten taels of settling-in expenses, and the others will give each person a price of ten or two children and children.

Wu Zhengdao plans to use money to open the way, and at this time, ten taels of silver are estimated to be able to be eaten by ordinary people for a few months, and such benefits are not afraid that no one will come.

"Then I'll leave tomorrow, I'll take Xiao Zhang with me, no problem, right?" Yang Yuzhou is planning to train Zhang Jie, this kid seems to be preparing for the growth of the camp.

Wu Zhengdao understands what this guy wants in his heart, three wives and four concubines, just think about it, if you really want to get this out of Australia, it is estimated that those tigresses will be powerful, if you dare to forcibly get a policy of three wives and four concubines, it is estimated that they will be able to get a three husbands and four husbands.

So if you want to pass a law on the bright side, don't think about it, it doesn't matter how big your camp is, for the future development of Australia and the three views, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.

As for the concession of Hong Kong, it still needs to be considered in the long run, although Hong Kong is not a prosperous town, but the Portuguese really occupied it in history, and was later recovered by the Ming Dynasty.

"If you want to lease Hong Kong, you have to have a good relationship with the Xin'an County Ya, I watched a few days I went to Xin'an County to talk to them, although they didn't dare to cede the land, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still very powerful in stealing the concept."

Otherwise, they will not give Macao to the Portuguese, I believe that the officials of Xin'an County already know a lot about the affairs of their colleagues in Xiangshan, and it is estimated that they will be red-eyed.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were very low, and it was really difficult for many people to rely on that little money to support their families, so everyone was trying to make money by going out of the way, which was a normal thing.

Under this premise, Wu Zhengdao thinks that he has a great deal of confidence in getting the official documents, after all, it is true that the mirrors and glass cups are worth more than 100,000 taels, these officials have been reading for more than ten or twenty years, and you think that people are definitely nerds, and the ability to make money is not small at all.

So at Wu Zhengdao's suggestion, after a short meeting of the foreign trade group, they each started their own actions according to the division of labor.
