Chapter 837: Praise

Madoff shrugged his shoulders. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Petrin said slowly, "But I'm still in a good mood...... In any case, this trade will surely be established, and we will receive a large number of Ming goods that have been reported to His Majesty the Tsar, and a great deal of goods, all kinds of gold and silver ornaments and utensils, porcelain, raw silk, silk, tea, ...... These goods are needed not only by us Russians, but also by Europe, and of course land transportation will increase the cost, but as long as the goods arrive, no matter how high the price is, someone will buy them. ”

Madoff agreed with Petrin's judgment this time, and he nodded emphatically.

At this time, the great voyages of the West had begun for more than 100 years, the whole of South America was a colony, and North America had almost all become the territory of Europeans, plus the wealth of Africa and Asia, the Europeans had initially accumulated wealth far beyond that of other continents. But in East Asia, they faced the Ming Dynasty and later the Qing Dynasty such a unified empire, the means of conquering those primitive tribes were not used, in terms of pure trade, Europe was not industrialized at that time, or the early industrialized products were not enough to dump in China, and China's porcelain and tea are the two major killers of foreign trade, the Chinese people at that time did things calmly and finely, the kind of quick success and quick profit in later generations is by no means the mainstream of the people, whether it is porcelain or tea or other products have the highest output level of agricultural society, In this way, in a continuous period of several hundred years, China's foreign trade is out, that is, the goods sold are far greater than the purchase, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, China poured into a large amount of silver, this figure is nearly one-third in later research, too much silver influx has triggered China's inflation, you can imagine how large this amount is.

At this time, Europeans did not have any economic concept of trade deficits, on the contrary, it was enough to open the market, buy a large number of goods, and make enough profits from them.

For the Russians, Chinese goods are hard currency equivalent to gold, and the high profits beckon to them, which is enough to make them forget some unpleasant details.

While the Russians were muttering, Zhang Han was talking to Mo Zongtong and Zhang Xuwen and others.

"Your merits this time are enough to compare with our defeat of the Northern Captives and the recovery of Qingcheng." Zhang Han looked solemn, and in front of the top military officials, he also insisted on such a statement.

If you don't give such a high evaluation, maybe people may not be able to understand the significance of the return of the northern envoy this time.

Sure enough, the people around heard Zhang Han's words and couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

The faces of the generals of the military were also a little uncomfortable, and the army certainly thought that it was the most effective...... There are no soldiers born and died, and the people of this territory will hold them with both hands and give them to you?

However, when others say this, the people in the army can rush up and spray, and what Zhang Han said, they can only endure it if they are uncomfortable.

"Adults have won prizes."

Mo Zongtong and the others bowed together, and their faces were very excited.

Zhang Han said again: "Your family has ordered the military department to properly take the grassland and reunite as soon as possible." In the future, according to the functional arrangement, whether to stay in the grassland or continue to settle in the customs will not be in a hurry, and these things will always be taken care of. ”

When they heard that they could see their families immediately, everyone was moved and looking forward to it...... Except for a bunch of singles from the south, probably no one doesn't miss their family.

After all, it's been more than a year since I left, and in any case, it's been too long!

Mo Zongtong bowed again: "Your Excellency is really thoughtful for us, as a subordinate, I am grateful." ”

Zhang Han Zhengse said: "I should be grateful to all of you, Guanshan has thousands of miles, coming and going for many years, such a thing is simple to say, but it is actually very difficult." ”

He turned his head and said to the entourage beside him: "If you can't imagine it, you can live in the wild for three months on a snowy day like this, sleeping in the open air, eating cold water and cold food, and facing the vast snowy wilderness, the trouble of not knowing when you can get to the place, and the attack of wild beasts. ”

Zhang Han glanced at the Russians not far away, and said: "There are also internal strife, and people's hearts are treacherous, so I said that the merits of the envoys this time can be compared to military merits." ”

Zhang Han said to the mission: "Field military merits, after all, are the most valuable, all of you are promoted, and you will be awarded acres of land and bonus shares according to the same officer rank and military merits!" ”

This is a real benefit, no matter how much Zhang Han attaches importance to the affairs of civilian officials and various departments, but after all, at this stage, He Yusheng must be a military priority, so the actual interests of various departments are also linked to the army, including the company's dividend shares, which are also divided according to the rank in the army.

Mo Zongtong and others have just come back, and they only have a preliminary understanding of the company's articles of association at this stage, but they also know that there are a large number of acres of land cultivated on the grassland, and the planting is mainly cotton, and the profits will be very considerable in the future.

Zhang Han said to Zheng Zhilong and the others: "Of course, you are also treated as one, just like me and the old man of Yusheng. ”

Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, my lord, I love you so much, do you dare not to repay you with death?" ”

"Your stage will be on the surface of the South Seas." Zhang Han thought for a while, and then said, "I have high hopes for you. The business of Nanyang is more active than that of the north, the stage is bigger, you will get greater success, fame, power, money, I and Yusheng will provide you with the greatest help and support, in order to look forward to your feedback to Yusheng, the reason is very simple, you have gained my trust in the north. ”

The Zheng brothers, Gan Hui, He Bin and others were all very excited...... Last year, their mission was also to go to Nanyang, but the situation at that time was that there was still a gap and precautions between each other, they did not fully trust and Yusheng, and Yusheng of course will not fully trust them, and at this time it is completely different, and in the future, I will go to Japan, Nanyang and other places, I believe that there will be actual power, and make a bigger cause.

Somehow, everyone was so encouraged by Zhang Han that it seemed that the fatigue of returning from a long distance had disappeared, and there was the best prospect in front of them. Although there are many Fujianese in Hirado, they must be born poor, as long as there is a little land to produce, people will still not be willing to go to sea to fight for their lives, and even can fish on the beach for a living will not go to sea to trade, in the Ming Dynasty a few decades ago caught people who went to sea are still regarded as pirates, Fujian and Guangzhou people who went to sea were beheaded dozens of people at a time, and they were only barely able to live in Pingdo, Being appreciated like Zheng Zhilong, and suddenly soaring to prosperity is only a very rare example, most of the people who go to sea are either buried in the sea, or they have achieved nothing, and they have fallen into old age, although this era is a paradise for adventurers, but after all, only a few have succeeded.

With the support of He Yusheng, everyone's confidence naturally increased greatly, and a pride in looking forward to the expedition arose.

After Zhang Han finished talking to everyone, he didn't say much when he came to Zhang Xuwen, he just stared at Zhang Xuwen for a while, and then said: "Our Zhang family in Puzhou, in addition to me, finally has a decent talent." ”

Zhang Xuwen looked excited, but he had nothing to answer, these words raised him very high, and he had nothing to say.

Zhang Han said again: "I heard that you still have a duel with the Cossack leader?" You have to remember that you are a civilian official, not a military general. When I heard about it, I was really scared. If you can't come back, I really don't know how to make a bus to the third uncle! ”

Zhang Xuwen replied: "As a member of He Yusheng, his subordinates should contribute their own strength, and there is no distinction between civil and military affairs in official affairs, which is also the daily teaching of adults." ”

"Less nonsense." Zhang Han stroked his forehead with his hand and scolded with a smile: "No matter how much you say, don't expect to have the opportunity to do such a dangerous thing again." ”

Zhang Xuwen bowed down and said: "If you are a subordinate and distinguish in official affairs, your subordinates may not be as stable as returning to Puzhou to farm, and they will be more stable and entertaining themselves with poetry and wine, which is much more enjoyable than running around." ”

Zhang Han glared at Zhang Xuwen, Zhang Xuwen raised his head and looked at him innocently, at this time, Zheng Zhilong pointed his hand to the south, and said with a smile: "The convoy has arrived, I'm afraid that Mrs. and Mrs. Ru have arrived." ”

Zhang Han didn't care about training Zhang Xuwen again, and when he looked back, didn't a convoy of dozens of big cars come from the south?

Qingcheng is not a Han city, outside the Qianmo and the village plus woodland, the field of vision is limited, here at a glance, it is all flat barren grassland, the convoy may still be far away, but it has clearly appeared on the horizon.

Zhang Han didn't speak, turned over and whipped his horse, and when everyone was still watching, he had already ridden and galloped towards the south.

Li Shenming laughed and said, "Wen Lan seems to really miss his wife. ”

He dared to say this, everyone was smiling, and they had the same idea in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.

Zhang Han didn't care about anything else, and when he passed by the place where the Russians were standing, he only waved his hand to Petrin and Madoff and others.

These guys don't need to be polite, no matter how polite they are, they won't be happy, without strength, these grandsons are a pack of hungry wolves, what kind of friendship do you talk about with wolves? It's good to talk about interests with a stick in your hand.

Zhang Han suddenly remembered Wanli's reply to the Tsar that year: Although the country is big, our country is not small.

These Russians, when they handed over the letter of state, did not forget to boast that they were the envoys of a great country and intimidated the emperor of China, but fortunately Wanli was not frightened, the tone of the letter of state was light, but it was just four words: I don't bird you.

I don't know what kind of reaction Patrin will have on the side of Moscow when he handed the reply back to the Tsar, but it will be interesting......
