"Ahem, ahem!"

Huang Liji coughed in time.

broke the current embarrassing situation for Zhu Youzhen, and I have to say that the praise of the old man Tessie made Zhu Youzhen almost suffocate at that moment..

If it were possible, Zhu Youzhen really didn't want to talk to the European businessmen of this era.

After all, in order to make money.

They can even willingly step themselves to the gallows, for such a person.

The so-called morality and law are no longer in their eyes.

It's just that at the moment, it is for the fat meat that exclusively enjoys the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty.

They really don't want to give up.

After all, when they completely began to monopolize a large number of special goods such as tea, silk, and porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

The Dutch almost instantly took control of their pricing power in Europe.

God knows how many times the price of these things has risen in Europe through the monopoly trade during this time, anyway, the officials of the Daming Taxation Bureau are collecting the goods tax that these guys have acquired.

I almost broke my leg.

The Daming Royal Bank, which is responsible for settlement and exchange business, will also expand its scale again and again.

"I hope you can understand that Taiwan will always be part of the Ming Empire, and if you are still obsessed with it now and do not leave, I may fully sanction all your trade activities in the Ming Dynasty."

"Ahh

"Your Majesty the Emperor?! We are willing, we are willing, we are willing to return the place that was originally occupied by the evil Portuguese to the Ming Empire..."

"That's right.. Your name is Pulit, right? Are you the Count of Holland? ”

"Yes, yes, yes.."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, "That's also a royal family, then I'll tell you something.. Now that the war in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty is gradually tightening, I feel that it is necessary to issue a special war bond. I don't know what you think of the Dutch East India Company? ”

Pritt's expression froze suddenly. "The Dutch East India Company naturally always respects your decision to respect Your Majesty the Ming Empire...."

"That's great!"

"Come, come, come! Come, give this Earl of Pulit a seat.."

Seeing this, Wang Chengen on the side didn't know that the emperor of his family was ready to pick wool from the Dutchman in front of him again. An uncontrollable smile suddenly overflowed, and with a wave of his hand, the little eunuch on the side carried a small wooden chair and sent it up.

Unlike the royal chair with bright yellow silk cushions, which were usually given by the emperor, this small wooden chair has a wooden frame, and the top of the chair used to hold the buttocks is made of bamboo.

The quality is not good at all.

Pulit sat down with a strange face, he was the only one sitting in front of Zhu Youzhen in the huge court, but there were two rows of Ming officials standing on both sides...

This made him feel that his status was finally recognized by the emperor of the Ming Empire, and on the other hand, he felt a little weird, after all, he had dealt with the Ming people for so long.

Now it has become half of China's experts.

This feeling of being elevated doesn't seem to be a good thing for Da Ming... But the elderly Pulit did feel that his legs began to ache a little from the moment the chair appeared...

"Your Majesty Emperor Ming, how many bonds do you want to issue this time? As far as I know, your engagement with Houjin has not met any large-scale resistance until now ... Is such a war also costly? ”

Forehead..

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, his face immediately pretended to be displeased and said: "This is a war between my Ming Dynasty and Houjin, do you understand the war?" It's a war involving hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people! It's not the kind of fight between hundreds of people and thousands of people, but in my opinion, it's called a fight between villages at most..! ”

Pulit is also pale and stagnant.. He seemed to finally remember that the East was not a peaceful place at the moment, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought each other at every turn.

It was already something that Pulit could not have imagined, after all, in his consciousness, if so many soldiers appeared in Europe at the same time.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before the whole of Europe will be beaten to the point of crying nose ..

"My army consumes a lot of food and ammunition every day, and the cost of every day of the war makes me very anxious. Daming.. Poor! ”

Prit's cheeks twitched.. Who doesn't know that Daming is already strong at the moment, and various policies seem to be throwing money at the people of Daming in Pulit's eyes.

Although these things are good...

For example, perfect urban drainage facilities... For example, everyone must dump their feces in a designated place and wait for someone to collect it. For example, everyone must wash their hands every day... Bring raw water to a boil and cool to drink..

Of course, all this is for one premise, which is hygiene.

In Europe, however, in the Tessie countries, there is no such concept of hygiene.

If you walk through the streets of London today, you will not feel the so-called European Western classical art, but the stench that pervades the whole of London.

The root cause of the stench that permeates the streets of London has long been that Europeans are not hygienic at the moment, and walking through the streets is not only a stench.

Beware of the feces that fall from the sky, and those women who are quick with their hands and feet don't care if there is anyone downstairs when they pour the day's excrement out of the window...

It is said that the invention of high heels also has something to do with this...

In the early days, high heels were invented for men, and the reason was to prevent people's feet from getting stuck in the feces on the street and not being able to pull them out.

This is why the Black Death in Europe occurred frequently.

"Therefore, I am going to issue war bonds this time, and it would be best if the Dutch East India Company could be willing to help me sell these bonds. If you can't, please help the Ming Empire sell these bonds to the entire European Tessie countries..."

"No, no, no, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.. This is not in line with the rules, if so, doesn't it mean that other countries can enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the Ming Dynasty? ”

seems to be high-sounding, but in fact, Zhu Youzhen knows that today's Dutch people are very rich...

They just can't afford the high yields registered on the face of the Ming bonds, and the fact that these amounts will eventually flow back into their pockets through trade means.

"The amount of war bonds I'm going to issue this time is quite large... I am going to use this money to rebuild a huge army that can be used to completely solve the current threat of war that Da Ming is facing."

Pullett asked curiously, "How much should that be?" ”

"100 million!"
