Chapter 2 Plundering Maritime Trade

The Cangzhou wharf was full of merchant ships. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Accompanied by Japanese envoys, Jiang Yin visited 30 large ships of trade between the two countries.

The bearded Ota Yuno was flattering like a monkey, and he kept praising the goods and goods of the Song Kingdom beside Jiang Yin, and his flattery made Jiang Yin's goosebumps almost rise.

"Ota envoy, I know what you mean, you don't need to praise these goods anymore, please bring a message to your Japanese emperor, as long as he can provide enough gold and silver, my new Song Dynasty can supply these porcelain and glass products in unlimited quantities, especially this kind of glassware, we also use the fairest way of trade, the same weight exchange." Jiang Yin assured very sincerely.

"Dear Your Majesty, you are really the fairest, greatest and most selfless Emperor of the Central Plains I have ever met, this kind of glassware, in our Japan, countless nobles will flock to it, I believe that in the near future, our country's envoys and caravans will continue to come to your New Song Kingdom to send you the purest gold and silver." Ota Yuno's mouth was about to reach the root of his ears, but he couldn't see the playful smile on Jiang Yin's face at all.

"Then so be it, take advantage of today's good weather, set off early, and hope that your emperor can see my sincerity, the sincerity of the same weight exchange."

"Of course, of course, our great Emperor His Majesty will surely see your fairest sincerity, and we Japan will become your most loyal ally." Ota nodded incessantly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say much about the kind words, remember, the same amount of gold and silver is exchanged, and the commercial door of my new Song Kingdom is open for you at any time."

"Thank you very much, please be sure to accept our sincerest thanks." After saying this, Ota Yuno yelled at the many Japanese sailors on the merchant ship in Japanese, and finally followed him with a sentence of "Throw your mind!" All the Japanese crew members bowed down and thanked Jiang Yin in unison: "Aligado Soga Imas!" ”

With such a dramatic scene, Jiang Yin, who watched it, couldn't help laughing, "I accept your gratitude, let's go quickly." ”

"Then, dear majesty, we'll see you next time!" Ota Yuno sincerely bowed his waist in thanks, and then reluctantly walked up to the bow of the ship, directing the crew to prepare for sailing.

Lin Yue, who had been by Jiang Yin's side, looked at the busy Japanese, as well as the Japanese merchant ships that were moving away at the front, and sighed, "Although I don't like Japan, I have to say that these guys are impeccable in terms of politeness." ”

Jiang Yin looked at the merchant ships that were gradually moving away, but the smile on his face gradually receded, and his eyes were piercing: "Under the polite appearance, what is covered is a perverted heart, such a nation will eventually go to the extreme." ”

"Oh?" When Lin Yue heard this, he also watched the merchant ships leaving the port, and fell into thinking...

.....

For these two small countries, Jiang Yin did not have much good impression of the education received from later generations, so naturally he would not treat them preferentially, exchanging the same weight of glass for the same weight of silver or gold, which was Jiang Yin's condition.

Originally, I thought that these guys would hurt and bargain, but what Jiang Yin didn't expect was that when those Japanese and Korean people saw the glass products, they were about to go crazy with joy, and as for the exchange of silver and gold of equal weight, in their eyes, it seemed like giving them a treasure for nothing.

Looking at those Japanese who were holding glass blocks as if they had obtained peerless treasures, Jiang Yin really couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that his price was actually low.

However, the words have been spoken, Jiang Yin is naturally not uncommon to change, even if it is the same weight exchange, the trade surplus that can be earned in this is unimaginable, but it is a pity that people in this era obviously can't understand this.

By the time they realized this, Jiang Yin's trade plunder was probably over.

This time the Japanese caravan owed a total of 100,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold, and they first returned to Japan with glass products from Cangzhou, and then sold these rare treasures in their eyes in Japan.

Jiang Yin did not doubt the purchasing power of Japan at all, after all, they had discovered more than a dozen large-scale silver mines on the entire island country, and the Japanese aristocracy had too many resources than ordinary people.

The wealth in their hands can be equal to almost all the wealth of Japan, glass, a commodity imported from the Central Plains, Jiang Yin believes that in Japan, these glasses will definitely cause the nobles to compete to buy, and the next time the merchant ships from Japan will no longer be thirty, but three hundred.

Poor Goryeo, its fate will be the same as that of Japan, sending its precious metals to Jiang Yin, and bringing back a pile of glass smelted with sand.

Just like the Manchu Dynasty in China, luxury goods such as tea, silk, and porcelain produced in China were very popular in the European market, and the British wanted China to open up to trade. However, the British export of wool, nylon and other industrial products were not favored in China, and the Qianlong Emperor even thought that China lacked nothing and there was no need to trade with Britain, which made Sino-British trade bring a huge trade deficit to Britain, and China had a trade surplus.

This trade surplus is terrible, accumulating wealth and capital more rapidly in one country and slowly losing wealth in another.

Regarding this trade surplus, Jiang Yin prefers to call it plundering maritime trade, which is actually equivalent to a disguised plundering of capital, using high technology and luxury goods to plunder the wealth and capital of ignorant countries.

But this kind of plunder is not foolproof, and when the countries in the trade deficit react, they will do everything possible to recover the deficit, and the easiest and quickest way is to rob.

As a result, the eight-nation alliance entered China and burned the Old Summer Palace, which caused deep pain and humiliation to the Chinese.

The ultimate premise of Jiang Yin's agreement to do business with Japan and Goryeo was because he could not see the threat posed to him by these two small countries, and even in his future plans, the East Asian region constituted by these two small countries was already in his pocket.

A thousand years later in another time and space, two robbers have robbed China, one called Japan, who committed heinous crimes and brought endless suffering to the Chinese people, and the other called Korea, who wantonly encroached on cultural heritage and claimed traditional Chinese culture as his own.

These two robbers were not judged as they deserved in that plane, and they still lived in style.

Now, a thousand years ago in this time and space, Jiang Yin planned to use predatory maritime trade to trample them under his feet.... (To be continued.) )
