"Yes, but not a port."

Yuan Ji nodded, raised a finger, and emphasized, "It is to open a string of ports, and the right to purchase domestic and foreign trade must also be monopolized." The auction of the right to distribute and the global monopoly of the corresponding goods and the monopoly of trade rights of the countries concerned is more profitable than the opening of a port.

There is a chain of port bases all over the oceans, so our ships can maintain along the way, auction privateer licenses, and provide ship repair and supply services for warships and pirates of various countries, which is also more expensive than opening ports. ”

"I don't care where you get your money."

Kangxi wasn't a little moved, he couldn't believe it, "Are you sure that I will be as you ask, and in three years, you will be able to pay me 2 million taels a year?" ”

"Definitely can, there is no problem with 2 million taels a year, and the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty will increase even more."

As long as the base is found, the financial services invented by the scum of Europe and the United States in the later generations such as marine reinsurance, futures warehouse receipt pledge guarantee VAM, futures bill trading, and international flying tickets will be returned to Europe.

Then press the ocean, collect the seigniorage, and issue bonds as soon as the delivery guarantee is issued. For the forces that monopolized the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade and internal procurement rights, they were cartels externally, syndicates internally, and trusts themselves.

If Zheng Zhilong sells a marine insurance flag again, then even the community of interests of Kang Caien will be alive.

2 million taels a year, for such an evil company, the public relations fee is too little.

Kangxi is mainly young, the emperor of the turtle, and he has never seen any money, so he will treat money as money.

Therefore, Yuan Ji reminded: "2 million taels a year is no problem, but 2 million taels is not necessarily 2 million taels." ”

"What does that mean?" Kangxi asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, last year, one tael of silver and 10 eggs, this year, one tael of silver can only buy 5 eggs."

Yuan Ji spread his hand, "2 million taels remain unchanged, but it is actually only worth 1 million taels last year." ”

Kangxi's brows furrowed.

"The faster the inflow of foreign money, the more cross-currents the people's material desires, the more inflows, the more prices will rise, then silver is not silver, it has become a torrent that has washed away the Qing Dynasty."

Yuan Ji said calmly, "So, we can't learn from the old rich man of the Ming Dynasty, and look at the cellar like a mouse." On the contrary, we must spend the silver in exchange for all kinds of materials in the Xiyi countries and lower our prices.

Secondly, there is the matter of Sauron's wild part.

The money and food are too abundant, and the life is too comfortable, and no one wants to bear the sin of eating cold and lying in the snow. will also brave the wind and snow to ride a horse and carry a knife to slaughter the Rakshasa Maozi for a little reward, and it can only be the wild and untamed Sauron and other wild departments.

Silver, Confucianism, are all good things, but they will also degenerate us. Especially Confucianism, let's use this Han religion to manage Han land. Whether we want to or not, Confucianism, like the plague, will definitely infect us all. ”

"Brother Nine."

Kangxi didn't speak, Xiong Cizhi, who was promoted to a bachelor's degree by virtue of science, blushed, and interjected, "The sage educates ......"

"Master Xiong."

Yuan Ji interrupted, "Confucianism is a good thing, I don't deny it, if there is no Xiyi, I will definitely defend the famous religion to the death." At least to protect the Qing Dynasty for three hundred years, you Han Confucianism are more useful than us Manchurian barbarians. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Kangxi glared at Yuan Ji angrily when he heard this, and his nose was almost crooked, "Willing to be barbaric? What three hundred years, I have been in the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. ”

"Third brother, forever? Is that possible? ”

Yuan Ji went straight to the point, and he was even more angry, "Wannian is the mythical king eight, where is the immortal dynasty of ten thousand years?" Whoever wants to tell you this, it must be a bully, pat your ass, and want to be lucky. I've seen a lot of this cheap skin, so just whip it to death. ”

Kangxi snorted.

"Third brother, the construction of the port and the matter of trade are just branches, just flowers, not backbones, not soil."

Yuan Ji glanced at Xiong Cixu sideways, smiled strangely, and then turned to stare at Kangxi seriously, his tone was slightly obscene, "Your Majesty, forget what I told you, the main stem is to let the Han people in the world forget that they are Han people, and learn our little Manchu first." ”

“… Cough! ”

Kangxi was choked, and Xiong Ci, a bachelor, was even more stunned by Zhao Zhifu and other Hanchens in the matter.

"What then?"

Kangxi coughed dryly, and interrupted Yuan Ji with a wave of his hand, unwilling to talk about this relatively private topic in front of everyone.

Kangxi felt that his ninth brother had a mental problem, and he was even crazier than Azig, because of the problem of "Xia Origin".

It is necessary to dig graves everywhere, bury fake antiques and then unearth, and every time you conquer a foreign land, you will definitely "discover" the ruins of Xia.

By successively adding stories to history and the present, they corroborate each other, and gradually wash history once, twice, three times, until the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Hui are gone......

What the hell is this idea?

Kangxi doesn't want to make people feel that he is as dirty as Yuan Ji in front of people, Xiao Jiu is not ashamed, he still wants it.

"Come on."

Yuan Ji saw that Kangxi didn't want to talk about the great Xia, and he didn't force it, so he taught the whip a little map under his feet, "Here, we need a special security area, let's start here, start from here, and pave a way out." ”

"What... What way? Xiong Cixu on the side asked suspiciously.

"The road to common prosperity." Motoyoshi said calmly.

Kangxi covered his face in embarrassment, looked at the southern part of Shengjing pointed by Xiao Jiu, guarding a coast in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and was silent.

In the fjord there, there is a Great Qing Dragon Flag, marked with three words: "Lushun Mouth!" ”

Further to the southeast, along the Korean Peninsula all the way across the sea to the four islands of Japan, in Japan's and China, there is also a dragon flag and the deep hidden Ouchi "Xia Ji. The illustrations of the Toei Islands are marked with the same seven characters.

"This is the mountains and rivers of our country!"

……

The locust flowers are full of branches, and the early summer is peaceful.

In April, the Jinmen Gate was warm and cold, and three luxury carriages with two horses and four wheels were driving at a constant speed on the stone road, and on both sides were twelve cavalry cavalry, temporarily rushing to the ceremony.

"Stone pavement, stretching for miles."

The suspension system makes the carriage more like a white-haired Richard on top of fluid. Rohr was very pleased with the comfort of the carriage.

Looking out through the side windows with half-blinded curtains and looking out at the quaint Oriental city, I don't know what to think, "The city of the Romans also had the luxury of paving the roads with stone slabs, which looked like hand-cut stone." ”

Richard. Sir Rohr was not a sold-fashioned English knight, but he was also witty, especially when he declared that "your ship is mine now".

He was a merchant who worked part-time as pirates when needed, and he was also the promoter shareholder of a great company, the London Merchants Trading Company in the East India Trading Company, with a seat on the board of directors.

It was more than half a century ago that the British defeated the Portuguese of India, Thomas of the Rohr family. One of the rewards he received for Sir Rohr's visit to the Mongol Mughal Empire for the British East India Company's autonomy of Surat.

Of course, remuneration and shares can be hereditary.

That's exactly why he deserves an invitation.

"That's Rome with natural volcanic ash."

From another great company, VOC, the Dutch East India Company, Holstein. Fan. Horn, redder than the Red Hair, with maroon hair and a small stand collar of white lace, looked more feminine than Rohr, "I have to say that the roads of the Tatar city are much cleaner than those of London, and there is not so much garbage, dung, dead bodies, crippled beggars, and extortionist vagabonds. ”

"Uh-huh."

Richard. Rohr glanced at Horn coldly, raised his chin slightly, and said contemptuously, "There is also a lack of fire and plague in London, isn't it?" ”

"Yes."

Horn glanced at Rohr with the same expressionless face, "If you didn't bring it." ”

Last year, London had just been shelled, burning most of it, and the plague was raging.

Why do Londoners like horse-drawn carriage rides?

Because the roads in London are so dirty.

It was all dirt roads, and when it rained, feces drifted on the road, accompanied by garbage and the corpses of dead dogs.

On the side of the road lay homeless people, crippled beggars, and humanoids who would reach out and pull the young lady at any moment.

Therefore, the rich lady in London, who wears a floor-length skirt, will ride in a carriage.

Most people would rather walk, including rich men, while girls from poor families would rather not go out.

Because the taxi carriage is very expensive, it costs three pence for one ride, which is about three days' wages.

1 pound 20 shillings 400 pence 1600 quarterpence!

The pound sterling, "pound" is a pound of silver, the earliest pound is a tax unit, not a monetary unit, and the "ingot" of silver in the Qing Dynasty, a stone of grain "stone" is almost the same, not a currency unit in circulation.

The pound is different from the pound, and the "stone" of the Qing Dynasty is also different from the Japanese "stone", and the Japanese "stone" is more than twice the unit of measurement of the "stone" of the Great Qing Dynasty.

The earliest circulating pound sterling was not 925 pounds of silver, but was the first gold ounce weights and measures coin to be minted, a royal rose, equal to two pounds sterling, a unit of taxation, equal to 40 circulating shillings.

In the seventeenth century, the British monetary reform used Guinean gold to really mint the gold pound sterling "Guinea", and at the same time as the real modern British currency of 1 Guinea 1.05 pounds sterling 21 shillings, there were only one-third pounds of silver pounds of silver pounds of silver pounds.

The modern pound exchange rate of 20 shillings for 1 pound came from the Guinean gold coin "Guinea"!

The currencies of various countries in the era of precious metals, like a bunch of privately minted copper coins in the Qing Dynasty, were also more chaotic than one another, and the value of the currency was floating, not fixed.

Moreover, there has never been Qin Shi Huang in Europe, and the weights and measures are different, and the "volume pounds" of the country's grain, the "mass pounds" of measuring weight and the "troy ounce pounds" of gold and silver are all different, and they are a mess.

A bushel is a unit of volume, and the weight of a bushel is different from the unit mass density of corn, wheat, and potatoes with different moisture. There are three calculation methods for cannons according to their own weight, projectile pounds, and calibers.

That's why Europe is mathematically advanced, France doesn't even count in decimal, British and American currencies have quarter-units like 25 cents, and pounds and ounces are sixteen to one. If this is not good at math, let alone conversion, you can't count the numbers.

It's just too chaotic, so the trade between Europe and the Ming and Qing dynasties, including Manila, was all based on the weights and measures of Qin Shi Huang, one catty and sixteen taels.

Hong Kong called the gold abalone Sima Jin, Sima Liang, is one catty and sixteen taels. A few abalones and a few abalones are talking about how many abalone there are in one catty.

The quality standard of 16 ounces and a pound in Britain and the United States is 16 taels per pound of Qin Shi Huang in the copycat.

What ounce is the volume of the wine glass,, who uses the wine glass to call gold? Li Kui? Sixteen cups of gold equal to a pound? Let the British sissy continue to be round.

The metric system introduced by the French bishop is also plagiarized from the unit of weights and measures prescribed by Qin Shi Huang, the decimal system!

Zhuxia is the cradle of world civilization.

Summer origin!
