Chapter 104 Overseas Trade

"This is the tax exemption certificate and transaction certificate of the three merchant ships, this is the certificate of grain payment, after you go to Shanghai Port, use the grain payment certificate to obtain the goods you need." Sun Chengzong said.

In order to obtain more grain, foreign trade is still strictly controlled by Zhu Youxiao, and only merchant ships with transaction certificates are allowed to dock at the ports designated by Zhu Youxiao to purchase goods. According to the one-to-one principle, the Ming issued a total of six transaction vouchers to the Spaniards this time, which means that only six merchant ships were allowed to dock in the port of the Ming Dynasty.

Although this is contrary to the principle of trade, Zhu Youxiao is also a last resort. From next year, the disaster will become more and more serious, and it will continue for decades, ensuring that the people do not starve to death, is the most important thing for Zhu Youxiao.

This trade Daming obtained a total of nearly 60,000 stone of grain, although the 60,000 stone of grain is not much, but to a large extent temporarily alleviate the problem of grain and salary in Liaodong.

Both sides were very satisfied with the outcome of the deal, Sun Chengzong received the food he desperately needed, and Spain received the high-quality Ming goods they needed.

In a letter to his father, Louis wrote: "In the past, most of the goods obtained from the Ming Dynasty were uneven, not only the quality of the pottery, but also the quality of the silk fabrics, and this time, with the help of the Ming Emperor, the goods we obtained from the Ming Dynasty are simply incomparable compared to the previous ones, and the price is only two-thirds of that of Batavia, and I propose that we collect more grain from the colonies, and gather a larger caravan by the beginning of next year......"

The goods that Zhu Youxiao bought for Louis were all medium or medium to upper quality goods, and the Ming goods that Louis usually obtained were sometimes not of the same quality, especially the goods that came from robbery, and some of the goods were not originally sold to the West, but to the natives of Southeast Asia.

This time, even if Spain was allowed to go ashore to buy goods, most of the goods purchased were inferior or lower-middle, and most of the middle-level goods were purchased by Zhu Youxiao, and the best goods were not seen by the Spaniards at all, let alone bought.

And in this world, only Zhu Youxiao knows that a food crisis is about to break out in the world, and being able to exchange commodities for food is something that Zhu Youxiao is happy to see. Moreover, under such a harvest, it is foreseeable that a food crisis will break out in the colonies of Westerners in Southeast Asia at the latest in the year after that.

Just when the Spanish merchant ships arrived in Tianjinwei, the Dutch merchant ships were also about to arrive in Tianjinwei, and the Dutch caravans were larger than the Spaniards, with a total of ten merchant ships, five of which were loaded with grain, transporting more than 100,000 stone of grain.

Zhu Youxiao decided to build new granaries in Shaanxi and Shandong, which will have a catastrophe next year. And this batch of grain Zhu Youxiao decided to transport all of them to Shaanxi first, and Shandong had to wait for the next batch of grain to be delivered, and then leave it to Shandong.

In this bulk procurement, Zhu Youxiao realized a serious problem, that is, the Westerners needed too many goods, which led to the satisfaction of the Spaniards, and later the Dutch needed the goods Zhu Youxiao took a long time to get together.

The establishment of a commodity exchange was imminent, and the next time the Westerners' merchant ships arrived, Zhu knew he would need a little longer to raise the goods they needed.

By October, the 5,000 cavalry recruited by Mangui had reached the Beijing Division.

When recruiting Mongol recruits this time, they were resisted by the Gongtu, Fried Flowers, Zaisai and other tribes, and they could raise 5,000 cavalry only by recruiting Han Chinese from Liaodong. But after Zhu Youxiao knew about this matter, he ordered Man Gui to recruit cavalry from these tribes, and Man Gui made several tribes completely obey after several twists and turns, which delayed nearly two months.

Among the 5,000 cavalry of Mangui, half were Han Chinese and half were Mongols, divided into two brigades, the Han Cavalry Brigade and the Mongolian Cavalry Brigade.

"You are now my new army, and you are also my pro-army, there are Han and Mongolian among you, I said that as long as you are loyal to me, they are all my Ming people, on the battlefield, you should be like a family, regardless of each other, only in this way can you win the victory." Zhu Youxiao is highly anticipated for this cavalry, and cavalry is an indispensable arm to advance northward in the future.

"Your monthly salary will be paid on time, and the bereavement of the war dead and the Han people will be rewarded with silver or fields. And the Mongolian people who died in the war, I will give you the grassland, and the grassland allocated to you is your private own, and no one can graze on your territory, not even your leaders, and your children will be educated, and the future officials who will manage the grassland will come out of your children, in short, you or your children will become the leaders of the tribes on the grassland in the future. Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao's words caused a commotion among the Mongolian people, and those recruited to serve as soldiers this time had relatively low status in the tribe. And Zhu Youxiao's words let them see another scene.

Everyone has ambitions, but their ambitions have been suppressed since childhood, and even suppressed to a deep place. Zhu Youxiao just wanted to dig out their ambitions. If everybody is a headman, then everybody is not a headman. Only the day when the Ming officials and no leader were the day when the grassland really began to belong to the Ming Dynasty.

As for how effective these words were, Zhu Youxiao didn't care too much, he just wanted to plant seeds in their hearts. He believed that one day it would sprout.

"I'll do what I say. The Longteng Army is about to return to Beijing, and you will also be a member of the Longteng Army, and you will have the same treatment as them. Zhu Youxiao said.

……

Zhu Youxiao wasn't going to talk too much, and the rest was handed over to Man Gui. Zhu Youxiao expects that this cavalry will go to the battlefield as soon as next year, and now Zhu Youxiao has refused to give Lin Dan Khan's reward, and Guiying has also died in Beijing. Zhu Youxiao predicts that Lin Dan Khan will knock on the pass as soon as the middle of next year, of course, this is not very likely, now Lin Dan Khan is still on the left wing of Mongolia, and Hou Jin has not yet forced Lin Dan Khan to enter the right wing of Mongolia.

With the rapid end of the Battle of Mubang, the immigration speed of Wei Dazhong was invisibly accelerated. By early November, the number of immigrants had reached Wei Dazhong's goal, and the number of households willing to participate in the migration had exceeded 10,000, including the whole family and the single person.

Dashan and Monkey were two single people who volunteered to participate in the immigration, and they also arrived in Longchuan in early November under the unified arrangement of the government. They were the second group of immigrants to arrive in Longchuan.
