Chapter 776: The General Trend of the World

Liu Wenxiu's expression didn't reveal anything, but at this time, he suddenly understood something.

The reason why the teacher mentioned this "Confession of the Pilgrimage" was that he wanted to repeat what happened in Edo in the Ming Dynasty or Liaodong.

By allowing the vassal kings and nobles of the feudal states of all over the world to migrate to the capital or Lushun, they also brought their wealth with them.

Once it is done, it will not only allow the Ming Dynasty or Liaodong to control the vassal states more effectively, but also use this to absorb the wealth of the world's vassal states.

These businessmen, one by one, sharpened their knives, and only wanted Daming and Liaodong to attack everywhere, because only in this way can huge demand be created, after all, when the cannon sounds, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

And the land they conquered has also become their market, which is the so-called killing two birds with one stone.

But it is obvious that his mentor is not willing to kill more, or in the inherent thinking of the Ming Dynasty, war will never be the first option.

And if an enlarged version of the Hajj explanation is made, it will not only make the vassal states more subservient, but also inevitably break down the barriers of the market, after all, the upper class of the family has moved here, and they have to come here every year, how can it not increase the circulation of goods?

The most important thing is that so many nobles come here, and the spending power of these people is definitely not to be underestimated.

You know, in this era, commoners don't have much spending power, and nobles are obviously different. A nobleman is at least equal to the spending power of hundreds or thousands of commoners, because the nobles not only need to maintain the expenses of luxury, but also their large wives and concubines and children, not to mention their food, clothing, shelter, and clothing, as well as a large number of expenses for guards and servants.

In this way, it is equivalent to the nobles using the money and grain they obtained from the mining of the vassal kingdom to create a huge consumer market in Lushun and other places out of thin air.

At this time, Liu Wenxiu was a little worried and said: "I'm afraid that the vassal countries will not agree." ”

Zhang Jingyi obviously didn't care, looked at him, and said calmly: "This is the best choice for them, and if they want to come to their envoys, they will gradually arrive in the capital or Liaodong." The atmosphere of the capital and Liaodong, they will obviously feel it slowly. If they are willing to talk well, they will naturally lose their dignity, but if they refuse, it doesn't matter, for the teacher to say again and again, I don't have any prejudices and malice against them, and I am extremely reluctant to meet them in arms, but when it comes to meeting in the future, it is also a last resort, whether it is the imperial court or Liaodong, there is pressure. ”

The meaning of Zhang Jingyi's words couldn't be clearer.

Liu Wenxiu was not surprised, so he nodded and said: "The student understands, the student will go to blow the wind first, but we can't let us bring it up ourselves, we have to let them mention it." “

Zhang Jing smiled and said with satisfaction: "This is very good, Jinyiwei's side, you should really pay more attention to the affairs of the outer domain, and don't always keep your eyes on the inside and outside of the gate." ”

Liu Wenxiu also smiled and said, "This is the truth, in fact...... In the past two years, Jinyiwei's reputation has improved. ”

Zhang Jing smiled.

Zhang Jingyi knows better than anyone that Jinyiwei is still these Jinyiwei, and the reason why his reputation is good is only because the environment has changed.

Once upon a time, it was an environment of involution.

What is Jinyiwei mainly for? It's staring at the hundred officials! In the past, who was not frightened when they heard it, and who did not grit their teeth behind their backs?

But now? Now although Jin Yiwei is also staring at hundreds of officials, he occasionally involves some big families because of some cases.

But Jinyiwei's current work is more to collect public opinion, especially after the establishment of thousands of households in Fujian and Guangdong, this trend has become more obvious.

For the current big families and officials, these actions of Jinyiwei just cater to the psychology of these upstarts to grab interests from the outside world and establish new business channels and markets. Everyone is eager for Jinyiwei to infiltrate all aspects of the world and open the market for their goods as an outpost in the future.

Because of this, the contradictions between each other have naturally eased greatly, and the previously tense relationship has begun to become interdependent.

After sending Liu Wenxiu away, Zhang Jingyi rested with peace of mind.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Jing got up early in the morning, and after getting dressed, she went to attend the inauguration ceremony of a new pier first.

After that, I met some maritime merchants.

These maritime merchants are now expanding their trade.

After the collapse of the Combined Fleet, a new power vacuum was created in the vast ocean that had been controlled by Francos and the Netherlands.

And it happened that the Ming Dynasty completely lifted the sea ban, and suddenly, the ocean lost its competitors, coupled with the protection of the Ming sailors, the original European countries in the West and the East established trading posts and ports, also by the Ming Dynasty to take over.

At this time...... The shipping lanes were readily available, the market needs were readily available, and the ports were readily available, so it was only natural that many maritime merchants began to gradually replace the former Franco-Franc and Dutch merchants.

For example, trade with the Japanese state.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom adopted the policy of forbidding the sea, but it left an opening, that is, the merchants of Edo were allowed to cooperate with the Dutch in import and export trade.

The Dutch people were gone, but the Japanese still craved a large amount of silk and porcelain, as well as Western spices, so the Han merchants took the Dutch merchants and took the original Dutch franchise.

It was only at this time that these maritime merchants opened their eyes.

Those who relied on land to earn benefits only now realized that the almost monopolized trade interest rate difference could be ten or even a hundred times larger.

All of a sudden, Jiangnan and Liaodong were going to sea, new cargo ships were being customized everywhere, and ports and wharves were extremely busy.

In addition to the Japanese and Western countries, they learned about other shipping routes from the captives of the Netherlands and Franco, some of which were in the Americas, Kunlun, and further Europe, so many people began to venture into the sea.

No way, the profits are too big and too tempting.

There will be brave men under the great reward, and those honest peasants, now give him ten times and thirty times the income, and they themselves are willing to go to the sea with a roar.

It is Liaodong, the sea route is also the most important trade route in addition to land and railway transportation, because of the development of ships, more waterways and hydrological conditions are controlled, which makes the risk of going to sea much reduced, so the waterway from Lushun to Quanzhou, Songjiangfu, Denglai, Tianjin Wei is extremely busy.

Almost every day, dozens or hundreds of ships go to sea, and almost the same number of ships enter the port.

As a result, the port of Lushun, in order to berth more ships and supplies, had to build more and more supplies.

The maritime merchants warmly welcomed this, and when they saw Zhang Jingyi, they saluted one after another.

Zhang Jingyi also politely asked about some maritime trade.

Of course, he would never believe these maritime merchants, after all, the news in these people's mouths is probably true or false.

It is true to make money, there are risks, of course, the desires of these people are becoming more and more difficult to satisfy, and now for them, it is easy to go to sea and send goods back from all over the country, but what is really lacking is ships.

Even in order to seize the opportunity and start to think of ways to take out loans, many maritime merchants hope to place more orders for ships.

As a result, this has also triggered a great boom in the shipbuilding industry, so many orders have been scheduled for two years.

At this time, the advantages of Liaodong suddenly appeared, whether it was Quanzhou or Denglai and other places, there were many shipbuilding workshops, but the vast majority of orders, but almost all of them were in Liaodong.

The reason for this is that the original plan of the ironclad ship, the construction of the ironclad ship, can be said to be a seedling to grow, in order to build the ship, tens of thousands of craftsmen, involving hundreds of thousands of people around the ship derived the upstream and downstream industrial chain.

Not only that, in order to overcome many technical difficulties, countless craftsmen and technicians have worked almost day and night to come up with one solution after another.

Nowadays, here in Lushun, it is easy to build merchant ships, a large number of skilled craftsmen, and the development of various new merchant ships, which are not comparable to other ports.

Although the merchant ships built here are still made of wood, their ability to resist wind and waves, ship speed, and cargo loading capacity are obviously much stronger than those in other places.

That's it...... The cost of making it is not more expensive than that of other port cities.

After all, the cost of the project also requires experience, and the shipyard in the customs is often built but finds that the cost is getting more and more expensive, and the cost is difficult to control.

However, the shipyard in Lushun has countless talents in this area, and there are various workshops in various supporting shipyards in Lushun.

Of course, in addition to complaining that it takes two or three years for the orders of ships to arrive, the main complaints of the maritime merchants are some problems overseas, such as how difficult it is for merchants to trade, and being made difficult by local officials.

Although they make money by dumping goods to the natives.

But there are many complaints about the natives.

Zhang Jingyi actually knows that the maritime merchants are definitely the group in the world who are most eager for the Ming Dynasty and the sailors of Liaodong to fight all over the world, after all, when they do business with people, where are they following the army to grab incense.

Regarding these remarks, Zhang Jingyi just listened silently, but did not say anything, that is, he did not follow the wishes of these people and express his malice towards the vassals, but he did not mean to stop them.

He just waited quietly!

Let's make trouble, let's make a good fuss, when the feudal kingdoms are frightened one by one, and the chicken feathers are all over the place, it is the time when he Zhang Jing appears to do peace.

Sure enough, within a little more than a month, something happened.

………………

After the operation is completed, there will be a halo to see the glowing things during this time, and I plan to take a break and recover slowly and then work hard to update, in addition, the new book of the great writer of history God Tianzi has opened, called "The Champion of Brocade Clothes", you can go and see it.
