Pulit eventually left, but he didn't leave nothing.

In the end, he still failed to accept the temptation of interest behind the thin piece of paper that Zhu Youzhen had previously mentioned, because Zhu Youzhen gave him a 10% per annum, five-year bond directed to the Dutch East India Company.

This state bond was issued by the Ming Dynasty and accepted by the Ming Royal Bank, and the target was only the Dutch East India Company.

And the exchanger can only be the Dutch East India Company, a huge order of 100 million taels of silver per year, matching these bonds will only buy Dutch goods.

In the end, Pulit left a subscription of up to 80 million taels of silver.

This made Zhu Youzhen feel the wealth of the Dutch on the side, and Guo Yunhou from the household department on the side was even more surprised by this.

Just a few simple words can bring grain worth up to 80 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty.

Nowadays, who doesn't know that the quality of the grain from overseas is sometimes even higher than that of locally produced grain, and even the rice from overseas has drifted into the Ming Dynasty from the South Seas.

One pound of Nanyang white rice can be exchanged for one and a half pounds of local rice in Fujian.

And even in the north, which is even more short of grain, it can be exchanged for a pound or two of rice, for Zhu Youzhen, who is ready to use grain to face the natural disasters that continue to break out in the first year of Chongzhen.

It can be said that this bond issuance has greatly helped Zhu Youzhen.

At this point, it has nothing to do with fraud, it seems that Zhu Youzhen did a business with the Dutch on behalf of the Ming Empire, until...

Seeing that Pulit turned around and walked out of the hall, Zhu Youzhen directly put the bond subscription book he had just signed with Pulit into the brazier used for heating in the palace.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, only Wei Zhongxian showed a different smile, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough..."

Yes.

Zhu Youzhen was not prepared to repay the money at all, because he knew that it would not be long before Europe would be in chaos, although the trade in East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and other places was firmly in the hands of the Dutch.

But above Europe, another rising country, Great Britain, also known as the British Empire, will officially pass a bill called the "Navigation Regulations".

The trade friction with the Netherlands has officially escalated into an armed confrontation.

And the fate of the Dutch is also firmly remembered in the history books, that is, the Dutch East India Company was defeated, and the defeat was a mess, and the defeat could not find the north at all.

The British could not lift their heads up, even though they had done everything they could to gather all the military forces throughout the country and return home to deal with the British attack.

In the end, they lost, and the Dutch collapsed.

At that time, not to mention coming to Zhu Youzhen to repay the money, it would be a good thing not to be knocked to death by Zhu Youzhen's two sticks.

I saw Zhu Youzhen smile and say to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Qing, I have money now." ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded vigorously and responded, "Rich!" ”

"You say, if there are more such kind-hearted people, wouldn't it be a good thing!"

"From this day forward, whatever reason the Dutch East India Company attempts to recover the money in this bond, it will refuse on the grounds that it is not due, and will be willing to buy more bonds if they taste the sweetness of it..."

"Then sell them a little more! Haha"

The ministers present were all Zhu Youzhen, or the henchmen of the pro-imperial party, how could they not see through what kind of calculation the emperor in front of him was making at this moment.

While sighing that these red-haired fans are really rich, I am glad that the most serious food problem that plagues Daming has finally been solved.

Eighty million taels of silver is actually not very important to the current Ming Dynasty, and it is indispensable.

However, the grain worth 80 million taels of silver can be described as a long drought and nectar for the Ming Dynasty.

And the grain worth 80 million taels of silver given for nothing!

It is an unexpected joy for Daming!

And who can blame the Dutch? I can only blame myself for being carried away by profits.

If you want to say how crazy the Dutch are about wealth, they can turn a blind eye to the rise of Great Britain right under their noses.

He was able to use his own shipyard and docks to build for Britain for the sake of profit.

This point really made Zhu Youzhen scratch his scalp and couldn't think of a reason.

Didn't they think that there was such a robber-started neighbor around them, and there was an obvious imbalance in the distribution of interests.

What kind of means will be used to grab more benefits?

Is... Wonderful.

......

Daming, Tianjin Port.

With the opening of foreign trade, Tianjin Port has become one of the most important ports in the north of Daming, in order to welcome more grain, Zhu Youzhen opened several coastal cities as treaty ports.

It's just that at the moment, Daming doesn't seem to be interested in anything overseas, but has a great enthusiasm for food.

The city of Tianjin, which was originally built along the river, relied on the canal and the geographical location closer to Beijing.

And now the continuous development of overseas trade has made the most important wharf in Tianjin from the North Canal Wharf to the Tianjin Port Wharf, with many shops and extremely prosperous.

Among the many shops, the most prosperous decoration can be said to be the Daming Royal Bank, which is currently hot.

In order to occupy more benefits in foreign trade settlement, Zhu Youzhen directly ordered that all settlement business must go to Daming Royal Bank.

At the same time, inform all overseas merchant ships that come to Daming, if you dare to settle trade with the private merchants of Daming, then congratulations.

Once caught, the staff of the Royal Customs Department of Daming will stand on your ship and paint the primer of the Ming Navy while removing all your cargo.

Confiscate all your gains, and detain everyone on the ship, waiting for the owner or the country behind you to ransom them.

What if the time is up, and no one comes to redeem it?

Next to the customs is the dock area, where it is even rarer for the golden retrievers who are stronger than the current Ming people.

Go there to carry grain, unload and make money, when will you use your life.

Earn enough money to redeem your life, and you will be free.

Under such a policy, overseas merchants were even more excited, although the Royal Bank of Daming would only give them more commercial bills of the Dutch East India Company.

However, it did not take much time to get the silver at the Dutch East India Company.

The gradual expansion of the scale of trade made the Dutch East India Company reluctant to pay for the trade income inside and outside the world, while gritting its teeth and constantly accepting these commercial bills.

Because the 80 million taels of silver were being exchanged for 80 million taels of the Dutch East India Company's commercial bills.
