Chapter 592: The Portuguese Who Seems to Take Advantage
The matter of the Spaniards taking refuge in the Japanese is not a big deal in Zhao Hongyu's opinion.
The Japanese had the help of the Spaniards, and they did not necessarily pose much of a threat to him.
With the range and speed of the guns under his command far beyond the era, he could win this war.
When the time comes, the Spaniards will be out of luck.
Besides, the Spaniards don't even have a country, so what can they do.
If there is no country, there is no backer.
There's no way to get revenge.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu did not take the Spaniards in his eyes at all.
However, the Portuguese told themselves all this, and they still have to thank the others.
Whether it's sincere or sincere, you have to show a little bit of it.
Besides, there is this one ally between them.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongyu smiled and nodded at Yaris: "Well, this news is very important, thank you for your reminder." As a thank you, I will give you a warrant that you can choose from any of the items you want for the next year, and there is no limit to the quantity, just for one year. ”
After listening to Zhao Hongyu's words, Yaris was immediately overjoyed.
He knew all too well what that meant.
It is important to know that the commodity trade of the Song Empire in the Americas had quotas.
Because of the limited quantity, some of the most sought-after products are sold in so many quantities every year.
Therefore, every businessman racked his brains in the hope of expanding this quota.
As long as you get a little more goods, then you can make a huge profit.
It's just a pity that no one has done it yet.
The officials of the trade department in the Americas do not take bribes at all.
They don't know where to start.
Although it is only for one year, if it is operated well in this year, your assets can definitely increase by 20 times.
Besides, there's a triangular trade.
The black slaves were also a good profit point, and the Americas welcomed the black slaves.
Come to mind. Yaris trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness."
Zhao Hongyu was funny in his heart, he didn't give a penny, and he didn't give him a discount.
It's just a matter of rationing him some more goods, and it makes him so excited.
It's really a dick.
However, such an effect, isn't it that he discussed it with Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu at the beginning.
Some in-demand commodities, control the quantity to make the most profits, this is also part of their plan.
In fact, the supply of goods from the Song Empire was open. That's absolutely possible.
It's just that if that's the case, the goods aren't worth much.
Therefore, in order to maximize profits, they can now only control the quantity.
Only in this way can profits be kept to the maximum.
Of course, this is only temporary.
When the empire's warships are more and they can dominate the seas, hum.
That's when the time comes for imperial goods to be dumped everywhere.
Of course, not everything in the Song Empire had quota quantity restrictions.
For example, there are some daily necessities such as rice. There is no limit to the amount of these expensive goods.
After all, these goods are to be used, and they will be discarded after use.
So, limiting the number is useless at all.
these goods. In the Americas, it's all open to supply, and you want as much as you want.
It is important to know that in this era until the beginning of the 20th century, there was a shortage of food throughout the century.
It can be said that there is not enough food in the whole world. There are a lot of people who are hungry.
Therefore, the most bulk and most profitable commodity on the Song Empire's side was actually grain.
Every day, merchant ships carrying grain docked in Imperial harbors alone. Now it has reached three hundred.
This already accounts for one-twentieth of the number of ocean-going vessels in Europe.
That's a terrible number.
But it also shows how far Europe has become in terms of food shortages.
Many of these ships were from the Church states and England.
It's just that they were very clever enough to fly the Portuguese or French flag before they arrived in the Americas.
For this, the imperial side also turned a blind eye, and it should not be seen.
Anyway, people use real money to buy food, and why don't they sell it.
In addition, some other goods of the empire will also be sold with them.
Yaris had been to Manhattan in the Americas, so he knew all too well about the popularity of American goods.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he monopolizes the supply of a commodity in a year, then he will definitely be able to get rich.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has promised himself, and there will be no falsehood in this point.
Seeing that Yaris had received such a promise, the eyes of the Portuguese companions behind him lit up one by one, and their eyes became very hot when they looked at Yaris.
Although they had never been to the Americas, they had seen with their own eyes how hot the goods that Yaris had trafficked in earlier were selling.
And they all know that those goods are from the Americas.
"Well, I'll give you a warrant, and when you go to Manhattan and hand it over to the local administrator, Zhang Tie, he will know what to do."
Speaking of Zhang Tie, Yaris's body shook.
He knew too well that Zhang Tie himself had no less dealings with him at the beginning.
However, that guy doesn't get in with oil and salt, and he can't impress that guy whether he sends money or beautiful women.
Now, as long as you have the warrant of His Royal Highness the Prince, you will be able to monopolize a commodity within a year.
Hey!
It's Lao Tzu's turn to get rich.
So which kind of product should you monopolize, after all, it's only a year.
Sugar? Chinaware? Thirteen incense?
Oops, there are so many products that I have a headache to think about.
Zhao Hongyu ignored Yaris, who could think wildly, but asked Wang Fuzi to write a warrant, and then stamped a seal on the spot for a genetic janissary to take and hand over to Yaris.
"Well, with this warrant, you're going to get rich next year."
Zhao Hongyu teased.
Yaris thanked again and again.
"How long are you going to stay here?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
Yaris replied, "We were going to leave, but now we can't go." We want to stay and help Your Highness. Let's deal with the Japanese together. ”
As for how strong the fleet of the Song Empire was, Yaris knew how to do it.
He was still in Manhattan when he fought the pirates at night.
Besides, he has also seen the sailors and warships here of the Japanese people.
He didn't think that the Japanese would really be able to defeat the fleet of the Song Empire.
Moreover, the army of the Song Empire was also very sharp, and the weapon configuration of the all-musket and the new tactics could not be the opponent of the cold-weapon country.
And if you help yourself at such a time, the benefits will be even greater.
This truth is not only understood by Orientals, but also by Europeans.
Zhao Hongyu nodded when he heard this: "That's good." Now go with my men to the docks and take your merchant ships, and then we will have a fleet. When the Japanese we fought surrendered, you will be rewarded as you deserve. ”
In fact, Zhao Hongyu is not very interested in the help of these Portuguese.
With or without them, it's all the same for Zhao Hongyu.
It's just that, considering that the Portuguese have to be co-opted to Li Xiang, then Zhao Hongyu can't refuse the Portuguese to help him.
At the same time, there was the Portuguese this bit of battleship. Then the others dare not say that they will harass Japan's maritime borders, but they can still do it.
"I must live up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yaris bowed in response.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "There is another matter, I think I should talk to you." ”
Yaris hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you said." ”
Zhao Hongyu said: "I heard that you are in the East and have a good relationship with a guy named Zheng Zhilong?" ”
Yaris replied, "How does Your Highness know the Dao?" We are indeed helping Zheng Zhilong fight against a guy named Li Xiang, and Zheng Zhilong has given us very good conditions. ”
Fighting for money is a normal thing in the eyes of Europeans, and Zhao Hongyu can understand it.
But. For the sake of Master Wang, and for himself, Zhao Hongyu didn't want the Portuguese to continue to help Zheng Zhilong.
You must know that although Zheng Zhilong's son is a hero. But Zheng Zhilong himself took refuge in 'my Daqing'.
However, it is not known whether there is another problem here.
Eggs can't be put in one basket, maybe it's Zheng Zhilong's plan.
There is nothing wrong with his son being a hero, but the ancestors of the Zhu family were still killed by the descendants of Zheng Chenggong, and at the time of the conquest of Taiwan by the 'My Great Qing', the emperor of Taiwan was a member of the Zheng family.
Hehe, that's a big problem.
Historical events cannot be fully believed, and many times the truth has long been buried.
"In the future, you don't have to deal with Zheng Zhilong, I have to find a subordinate who was originally Li Xiang's subordinate, and now he has entered our Zhao Song's household registration and become a citizen of Zhao Song, in order to repay the former boss Li Xiang, I originally planned to let you end up like the Dutch. But in the end, for the sake of you being my allies, he let go of the idea of finding a thing. ”
Yaris and the others were shocked.
I've got my mother, so there's such a thing.
If it weren't for the Portuguese government and the Song Empire in the Americas becoming allies, then wouldn't they be like the Dutch just now, and they would all become ghosts under the sword.
Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat oozed from Yaris's forehead.
The faces of the Portuguese companions behind him were not very good-looking.
The faces of the daimyo merchants on the side were also very exciting.
Xu Yan stared at Master Wang, looking thoughtful.
I can't see it, this guy who looks like a master is actually a person from Dahai Kou Li Xiang, and now he has become a citizen of Zhao Song, and he has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince.
So if you want to achieve your goal, do you want to walk away from his relationship?
At this time, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and the merchants of Portugal in the tent all had their own thoughts. (To be continued......)
