Chapter 152: Destruction and Prosperity

As the most powerful of the Eruts, Batur Khan had been trying to conquer the land, and the Kazakhs had already embraced ****** faith, and the war between them and the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dzungars, had taken on the character of a religious war. Although the Russians believe in Orthodox Christianity, they have always regarded themselves as protectors of ****** religion in Central Asia, where there is a large ****** presence, and have always supported the Kazakhs against the Dzungars, and the large number of firearms exposed in Batur's latest victory has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Russians.

"This Stroganov . Mursinov is really not simple, you can make money doing business with me, and secondly, you may be able to win me over not to sell firearms to Batur, killing two birds with one stone! Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked, "Then do you think this business is done?" ”

"If it's a business, it's a business. Russians are very fond of tea, and there are local Tatars, so to speak, as much as you want. ”

"Well, I see." Liu Cheng nodded: "Let's do this first, it's not early, Mr. Zhao, you go and rest first!" ”

"Dzungars, Russians, Kazakhs, and those Tibetans, hehe, it's really a pot of porridge!" Liu Cheng suddenly laughed: "Okay, the more chaotic the better, Chairman Mao said well, mess up the enemy, educate the people!" ”

At this time, Du Gu's voice came from outside: "My lord, the things have been moved in, just outside." ”

"Move in!" Liu Cheng swept the gold nugget into his leather bag. The door curtain was opened, Du Gu commanded a few personal soldiers to carry in four wooden boxes, and when the things were put away, Du Gu was about to retreat, but was stopped by Liu Cheng.

"You go and call Tang Muyao!"

"Yes!"

Soon, Tang Muyao came, judging from the way he was dressed, he should have just come from the factory, due to the relocation of the factory. These days, the goods for Batur are very rushed, and he eats and sleeps in the factory almost every day.

"I've seen my lord!" Tang Muyao knelt down and kowtowed, stood up, and looked at the four wooden boxes in the middle of the house with some surprise.

"Can you do this now?" Liu Cheng didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point.

"You want to mint money?" Tang Muyao looked at the several silver dollars on the table with some surprise, he picked up one of them casually, and saw that this foreign coin was in an irregular circle, with a cross shield badge on the front and two cylinders on the back, and letters on both sides. It looks quite exquisite.

"Yes, in addition to silver coins, there are also gold coins and copper coins!" Liu Cheng nodded, he also picked up a silver coin and played with it twice in his hand, and with a flick of his thumb, it flicked towards the other party. Tang Muyao hurriedly reached out to catch it. Liu Cheng smiled: "Okay? “

"My lord, I can't give you an answer right now, why don't you give me half a month to try it first?" Tang Muyao replied cautiously.

"I'll give you a month!" Liu Cheng threw the leather bag on the table: "Let's start with the gold coins." Also, there is a cripple who makes counterfeit money over there in Bai Wang, I will ask someone to send it to you tomorrow, just say what you lack! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Tang Muyao opened the skin. A look of surprise immediately took over his face, and he cautiously kowtowed to Liu Cheng before exiting the house. Liu Cheng plays with the silver coins in his hand, which the Chinese call the double-column silver dollar, which was produced in the famous South American silver mine of Portosia. This famous silver mine in present-day Bolivia, South America, has been mined since the time of the Indians, producing half of the world's silver production in its heyday. The ruthless Spaniards drove hordes of Indians into the mines, where the ore was processed with hydraulic pulverizers. In order for these crushers to work, the Spaniards even dug more than twenty artificial lakes in the highlands at an altitude of more than four thousand meters. After 300 years of brutal labor that claimed the lives of eight million Indians, the vast amounts of silver minted were minted into silver coins and shipped to Europe to sustain the Spanish Empire. The influx of precious metals produced a price revolution that impoverished the aristocracy on fixed rents and enriched the merchants, providing ample capital for the rapid development of Western Europe for the next two hundred years. For the first time in human history, some of this silver flowed into China, where it became rich and the small world disguised as a country was drawn into the global market.

"The destruction of the Indians made the prosperity of the Europeans!"

Liu Cheng suddenly laughed, walked to the wooden box, pulled out his waist knife and cut the lock, and lifted the lid of the box, revealing pieces of fist-sized gold ingots inside. He picked up two pieces casually, knocked them gently, and listened to the crisp sound of the gold hitting each other in fascination, and suddenly Liu Cheng frantically cut all the wooden boxes, and overturned them one by one, and the dumped gold nuggets fell to the ground. He jumped into the nuggets and rolled frantically in the middle of them.

"But this time it's different! It is you who destroy, and we are the one who prospers! ”

End of Volume I

Capuching words

The end of the Ming Dynasty is a subject that online writers like to choose very much, and the reason is very simple, it is closer to modern times, and the ******** and class contradictions are sharp and complex, which is easier to resonate with readers, and it is also easier to express the great glory of the traveler to save the fate of the Chinese nation. These time-traveling novels are divided into "farming flow", "palace bucket flow" and so on. Many readers also suggested that Weber should plant the fields well, climb the science and technology tree, and then crush the Manchu Qing Dynasty and deploy the world.

But Webb felt that this division was problematic in itself. The reason is very simple, the modern industrial system itself is not something that can be produced by "farming", it is not so much corn sorghum planted in the field, but it is more like a blood-sucking vine that spreads everywhere. A farmer can hide in the ravine to be self-sufficient, but the factory owner is impossible, only the plant, machinery, workers are not enough, but also need a vast market and raw material production area, in a sense, the emergence of modern chemical business was originally based on the plundering and exploitation of agriculture. After all, under the commodity economy, the factory owners do not produce for the sake of obtaining more goods, but for the huge profits obtained after selling the goods. The construction and upgrading of industrial systems and the external expansion of armies and commerce are two sides of the same coin, which need not and cannot be separated. That is to say, Liu Cheng can only "plant good fields" by crushing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Buwu Global, and only by "planting good fields" can he crush the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Buwu Global, the two are the same thing.

At this point, intelligent readers should understand the general direction and content of the next volume, and I hope you can enjoy the book "Daming 1630". (To be continued.) )

PS: This chapter is relatively short, there is a change in the evening, a new volume is about to begin, and Liu Cheng will perform on a broader stage. By the way, I want to give a reward for a ticket, this result is really bad.
