Chapter 1009: Idle Talk (2)

ps: The number of chapters in the previous chapter was wrong, it should be 1008 chapters. Ah Hu is very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone! I'm sorry for all parents!

Zhao Hongyu's welfare treatment of the genetic people under his command can be described as extremely generous, which is quite generous compared to the monarchs of all countries in this era.

But this is not surprising at all, after all, Zhao Hongyu's way of making money is definitely not comparable to the monarchs of other countries in this era.

At the same time, the speed at which Zhao Hongyu makes money is not something that those people can imagine.

Needless to say, Europeans, the annual income of various European countries is only a little bit, compared to the Song Empire in the Americas, it is simply a small shrimp-like existence.

Originally, without the emergence of the Song Empire, the wealth of the Americas would have poured into Europe in an endless stream.

However, since Zhao Hongyu occupied the Americas, it was impossible for the Europeans to attack the idea of the Americas.

Therefore, the wealth of Europe and Africa, as well as the Arab world, began to flow rapidly into the Song Empire in the Americas.

If it were an ordinary country, such a large influx of wealth would have led to a financial shock.

For example, this was the case with the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and the same was true of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But the problem is that Zhao Hongyu can buy a large number of materials from the virtual world to fill the country, so under the flood of a large number of materials, the supply of goods in the Americas is sufficient, and there are no fluctuations and shocks due to the influx of wealth.

This is something that no other kingdom can do.

At the same time, more importantly, the bulk of commodity trade is basically traded through the 'umbrella' company and the Imperial Royal Trade Department.

Therefore, all the silver and gold that poured into the Song Empire went into the treasury or Zhao Hongyu's private pocket, so that there was not a lot of silver and gold flowing in the world.

In such a situation, inflation is not possible.

And even in an environment flooded with a lot of supplies. The people of the Song Empire in the Americas, on the contrary, were able to buy high-quality and inexpensive goods, and their quality of life was much improved.

Zhao Hongyu hoarded all the gold and silver he had accumulated, and waited for the price of gold in the virtual century to rise and make a profit.

If the price of gold plummets, then he will keep the gold in his hands.

In short, no matter what, Zhao Hongyu is not at a loss.

Of course, the wealth of Europe and Africa in the seventeenth century, as well as the Arab world, could not always flow into Zhao Hongyu's hands. When appropriate, Zhao Hongyu will also buy bulk goods from them, so that the other party can also earn a little sweetness.

Otherwise, it won't be many years before Europeans, Arabs and Africans will have their wealth squeezed out by the Song Empire.

Zhao Hongyu didn't want to see such a situation.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu bought a large number of black slaves from the hands of Europeans.

And buy a large number of dancing girls from the hands of the Arabs, as well as some wool products.

In this way, thriving trade can be maintained for at least many years.

This also created an environment for the Song Empire to develop steadily.

Just give the Song Empire a few years to develop. After increasing the strength of the sea, then even if there was turmoil due to the trade deficit, the Song Empire would not worry about anything.

If such a problem arises, the Song Empire will be able to rely on the strength of its fleet at sea. It's entirely possible to find an excuse to invade Europe.

You must know that in the ideas of Zhao Hongyu and Professor Liu and the three major horses, the Great Yan Huang Doctrine is to unify the earth of this era.

In the tavern, Li Xiang and Zhao Hongyu sat down.

Young waitress in a Japanese kimono. Two bottles of Tsingtao beer were served on the waist.

Because it's winter, I'm not afraid even if I don't have a refrigerator, and the beer is already iced.

Li Xiang looked at the beer curiously. He didn't know what it was.

"It's beer, you can try it."

Zhao Hongyu poured himself a glass, and after drinking it all in one go, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, reaching out in his arms, he took out a pack of high-quality Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, took out one, lit one, and took a deep breath.

These are all good things from the virtual world, because this year, Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law and Zhao Hongyu 'cooperated' and really made a lot of black money.

So, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, he also took out some good things to give to Zhao Hongyu as a gift.

Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law just hopes that in the coming year, he can continue to 'cooperate' with Zhao Hongyu and make his cottage pit business bigger.

Who made Zhao Hongyu and them stupid and have a lot of money, and they also have a wide range of roads.

No matter what kind of goods are cheating, you can sell them at a high price, and you will never be in arrears with full payment.

Anyone who is not a fool likes to do business with people like Zhao Hongyu and them.

Especially the situation on the side of the virtual world is the same as Zhao Hongyu's original time and space.

Today's economic environment is not very good, there is very little profit in any business, and everyone is very competitive.

Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law is because he met Zhao Hongyu and others, so he entered the industry that does not need any high-tech, as long as he has a black heart, he can make money.

Therefore, gift-giving is also inevitable.

For Zhao Hongyu, the gift given by Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law is only cigarettes.

Like other deer antler velvets and bear bile, as well as abalone, shark fin and sea cucumber or something, Zhao Hongyu didn't look at it at all.

In the virtual world realm with the same environment as another time and space, these things are very fake now.

Zhao Hongyu was in the 17th century, and if he wanted the real thing, he could buy it casually.

Even if it is more than 100 years old, you can buy it as long as you have money.

But it can't be put in another time and space, or the virtual world.

In the Ming Dynasty, the asking price of a hundred-year-old wild ginseng was only a few thousand taels of silver.

This is still the price of the Ming Dynasty.

If you buy it from Koreans, it can be at least half the price.

Zhao Hongyu can buy a large amount of industrial silver from the virtual world, and the price of industrial silver in the virtual world has plummeted recently, and the price of five cents a gram is only how much is thousands of taels.

You must know that even the industrial silver of later generations is of higher purity than the silver of this era.

So. Zhao Hongyu used the industrial silver of the virtual world to make Longyang silver coins, so there was no need to worry about anything.

It can be said that relying on the anti-heaven baby he carries, Zhao Hongyu is quite nourishing in this era.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you just came to the dark times of this era, after all, he was nothing at that time.

Li Xiang took a sip of beer and felt very unpleasant.

"Your Highness, I can't get used to this thing Lao Li, do you have any spirits for me Lao Li."

Li Xiang is telling the truth, even if the beer thing is in Zhao Hongyu's original time and space. When it appeared, everyone was not used to drinking.

Some people even say that beer tastes like horse urine.

Therefore, as an indigenous person in the seventeenth century, it is normal for Li Xiang to be unaccustomed to drinking.

Zhao Hongyu didn't care, he called the waitress and asked her to bring a bottle of Erguotou.

Don't you just want to drink spirits, what's the big deal?

There is nothing else in this tavern, and the supply of beer and two-pot head is enough.

The waiter quickly brought a loose bottle of two-pot head. Li Xiang took a sip and said that it was much better than that beer.

"Now that your people have all left Amami Island, what are their plans now?"

Zhao Hongyu began to go directly to the topic after Li Xiang drank the second pot head in the wine glass in his hand.

Li Xiang gently put down the wine glass in his hand, and then refilled it for himself. He sat up straight and looked at Zhao Hongyu and replied, "Your Highness, a large part of these old brothers of mine are tired of life at sea. They all hoped to go to the Americas, and then become good citizens after receiving 200 acres of fertile land. There are also some who want to stay and join the Kyushu Marine. Serve you, Your Highness. ”

Of course, Zhao Hongyu also knew that the group of people under Li Xiang would definitely have two ideas, which he had long expected.

"The people who want to go to the Americas are old brothers. They have been pirates with me Li Xiang for twenty or thirty years, and to be honest, they can have a decent ending now, and I am really grateful to His Highness. ”

Li Xiang's words were very sincere.

"The people who want to stay and serve His Highness are basically young people. Because they are young, they are still ambitious, and they will not be willing to go to the Americas to live that kind of ordinary life. ”

After listening to Li Xiang's story, Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while and said to Li Xiang: "I will accept all the people who want to go to the Americas, but you have to tell them that if they enter the household registration of my Song Kingdom, they will be the people of the Song Kingdom." I don't care what they did before, they will be a good citizen in the future, but to be a citizen in my Song Empire, that is to follow the laws of my Song Empire. They used to be pirates, but they can't use it anymore, and if someone wants to do evil, I'm not ruthless. ”

Li Xiang nodded again and again: "Your Highness's words are very right, and my old Li is not an unreasonable person." I must make it clear to those old brothers that they can have 200 acres of fertile land and be a real landlord and good citizen, what are they not satisfied with? If someone dares to let go of a good life, but what dirty things are going to do, I, Li Xiang, will not let them go first. ”

Regarding Li Xiang's words, Zhao Hongyu just listened to it.

If something like this really happens, it will be dealt with according to the laws of the empire anyway.

Even Li Xiang couldn't say anything.

However, I think that Li Xiang got this reminder from himself, and he should warn his old brothers again.

Therefore, these old pirates who are willing to go to the Americas to be good landlords should not do anything dirty.

"As for the young people who want to stay, it is not impossible to join the sailor. But I can't give them a high position just for the sake of your face, or it won't be fair to anyone else. If I do this, then it will be very difficult for you people to do it in the future......

After talking about the people who wanted to go to the Americas, Zhao Hongyu talked to Li Xiang about the arrangements for the young people who wanted to stay and join the sailors. (To be continued......)
