After all, no business can not live!
To open up Jeju Island, it is necessary to revitalize commerce.
It happens to be Jeju Island, and it is at a key node between Japan, Korea, and Qing Kingdom. In the congenital, it occupies the advantage of geographical advantages. It's just that the Qing country has a strict sea ban, so it is basically impossible for Jeju Island to welcome Qing merchants.
Although, like the Qing Dynasty, Japan and Korea also have relatively strict maritime bans. However, under the harassment and harassment of the Jinsha pirate group and the intimidation of the Ming fleet, they were forced to open the customs.
As for the Qing Kingdom, due to its large size, it is not easy to use force to persecute it.
Therefore, Jeju's trade partners are mainly limited to Japan and North Korea.
However, there is another force that can be relied on on in Jeju Island - Damyeong.
Because the commercial goods of Daming are very good and cheap, and the varieties are also rich and diverse. No matter what you eat, wear, or play, Daming can produce and provide.
Therefore, it is very convenient to use it to open the markets of Japan and North Korea. And with the relationship between the Jinsha Pirate Group and the Ming Dynasty, the commercial goods purchased, whether in price or quantity, will not be so limited by rules and regulations.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that Jeju Island's entrepot trade will be very hot.
In fact, Zheng Yi's prediction was right.
Due to the influence of the prestige of the Golden Pirate Regiment in Japan and Korea, the merchant ships from Jeju Island are basically exempt from customs duties. The Ming Dynasty also needed to further open up the commodity markets of Japan and North Korea, so tariff subsidies were carried out in varying proportions for commercial goods sold to Jeju Island.
In a very short period of time, Jeju Island has transformed from a desolate volcanic island into a commercial island that radiates to Northeast Asia.
And taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the Jinsha pirate group on Jeju Island also imported the Ming merchant goods into Shandong, Zhili, Northeast and other places in the Qing Dynasty.
In the end, it is the capital of the Qing Kingdom, and the rich people are a big handful. Those high-end luxury products that could not be sold in the Ming Dynasty could become the sweets of the Qing magnates. If it weren't for the effects of the sea ban, trade would have been confined to the shady underground.
It is estimated that the sales volume of clear goods must have increased exponentially.
Of course, trade has always been associated with politics and governance! Daming not only wants to make money, but also wants to enhance his influence in Northeast Asia. Those Ming commodities are the best weights.
Therefore, even in the poor, bitter and cold Far East of Tsarist Russia, the Ming Dynasty did not let go. Many of the product introductions of the Ming Dynasty are also printed with a short Ming chant. Some of them are also made into ballads for easy singing.
is also the Ming Dynasty now, and it is really beyond the reach of the whip. Otherwise, you will definitely move your arms into battle.
Although by land, through the borders of Vietnam, Nanzhang, Burma and other countries, trade routes to the Qing state were opened. However, the inland of the Qing Kingdom was too vast, and with the radiation area of the Ming goods, the farthest could only reach the Yangtze River.
As a result, the vast north of the Yangtze River is still outside the radiation of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the Golden Pirate Regiment can help the Ming Dynasty and increase its influence north of the Yangtze River. Daming is too late to be happy, so he tries his best to meet his requirements. The commercial division of the Ming Dynasty also sold the goods to the Jinsha pirate group at the same price as in China.
Jeju Island's entrepot trade is also becoming more and more prosperous.
Originally, there was only one place on Jeju Island, Jeju City, and it was still a little popular. But since the introduction of a commercial management model, the scale of business on the island, like a Big Mac, has maintained a super-high growth.
Commercial activities are no longer confined to the Jeju city walls.
For example, the renovated Jeju Pier has become a new commercial center. Because there is no city wall to separate it, the shops stretch outside Jeju City.
And in the south of Jeju Island, Seogwipo Village. Due to its proximity to Japan, a commercial bazaar spontaneously formed. Let the business activities spread to the north and south of Jeju.
This rapid change made some of the pirates who were originally quite complaining speechless. After all, Han people like to be lively in their bones!
Seeing what was once a desert island become such a prosperous and prosperous island of wealth. Pirates, of course, there's no reason not to like it. Especially those newly built theaters and restaurants, they have a lot of places to spend their time.
Especially the Ji courtyards with rouge and fandel, let them linger. Although before the opening of Jeju Island, they also wanted women to have women.
But compared with the flamboyant sons of the Ji Courtyard, the mother-in-law who snatched it was very boring. After all, in order to earn more silver, all of them have learned one or two good talents, and they can talk about piano and rap at their fingertips.
And the appearance and dress, all basically maintain the level of the godmother of the Ming Dynasty. All of them are good-looking, and the most second-class is also middle-class and upper-class assets.
What's more, in order to fully show its characteristics, Jiyuan has recruited a lot of beauties of all colors. There are Africans who are as black as charcoal, and there are European women who are white as white porcelain.
This novel style made the pirates have a lot of fun hunting.
Japanese and Korean businessmen were also attracted by Jeju Island's novelties.
Some of them are also buying properties on Jeju Island, which has invisibly pushed up the land price of Jeju Island. There are a lot of contract workers, but there is no place to stay. Not only does it affect the image of Jeju Island, but it also causes great public security risks.
So Zheng Yi had to ask Wang Chunfeng to build a large-scale resettlement house outside Jeju City. So that those contractors have a place to stay.
Of course, you still need a house or rent!
Otherwise, those contract workers don't know gratitude.
At this time, Feng Shen Yinde was sitting in the new-style carriage, and his eyes showed a shock that could not be concealed. Gu Lun and Princess Xiao, who were a little unwell, were sick and leaned on the inside of the car wall.
Thanks to the favor of Emperor Qianlong, the temperament of Gulun and Princess Xiao is more free, free and lively. So it's not like everyone's ladies, relatively introverted and quiet. He lifted half of the curtain and looked out the window.
Compared with Qingguo, Jeju Island's unique business environment greatly aroused the princess's interest. Especially the appearance of men and women on the street, she was very surprised.
Like women, it is common to pin their hair to the back of their heads. And with a colorful clip, put it together. Some decorative hairpins, step shakes, and flower arrangements are very few. At first, she thought that the people on the island were poorer, but when she saw a few noblewomen with delicate faces and a large number of subordinates, also dressed like this, she knew that this might be a habit on the island.
Men, on the other hand, tend to cut their hair very short. Except for a few merchants who wore Japanese and Korean costumes, they would wear tall hats. Most of the local men don't wear hats.
The clothes he wore were also different from those of Qing Guo. The upper body is a short shirt with exposed arms, and it is common to sew five buttons. The lower body is knee-length shorts, which are relatively wide. The feet are worn with a type of geta similar to that of a Japanese merchant, but the bottom plate is thin and the weight is lighter. When you walk, you don't make a heavy sound.
For women, their clothes are not as revealing as those of men. But on the upper body, most of them wear short shirts that expose their elbows. The waist is also narrower. The bulge on the chest and front is very tall and firm.
Although there is a fabric separation, it still looks more obvious.
The lower body is a long skirt that is closed. But it only reached the ankles, revealing a pair of small pocket-sized feet wearing white socks and black shoes.
Such a revealing dress was to be immersed in a pig cage in the Qing Kingdom.
Even if she is a princess of a country, she doesn't dare to wear it like this.
But the men and women on the island seem to have gotten used to it. Walking in the street market is also used to it. Only those Japanese and Korean businessmen who had just arrived pointed at them curiously.
Although she was very dissatisfied with the outfits of these people in her heart, her curiosity became more and more serious. At the same time, the Ming in the mouth of the prime minister also raised a heart of inquiry.
