"Daming East India Company, the use of the shareholding system, is to divide the company as a whole into a number of shares, and then sell shares to the whole world, by virtue of how much money to get the corresponding shares, and so on to make money, and then according to the proportion of the shares to dividends, if it is a rich man, then you can pay more money to eat big dividends, if it is an ordinary person can also buy a three or five taels of silver, a year to earn a pocket money!" Zhu Han said.

Lao Guo Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled when he heard it, it was nothing more than the meaning of the big guys making up for a part, why did he have to engage in a joint-stock system?

"The East India Company you are talking about, in fact, doesn't cost too much silver, if it is an ordinary 100,000 yuan, let those big businessmen in Suzhou make up a share, why bother so much?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

In fact, Zhu Han has already considered this problem.

He wanted to make the East India Company a joint-stock system with the participation of many people, not simply to gather funds.

The Age of Western Discovery in history is actually divided into two stages.

The first stage was dominated by Portugal and Spain, and the royal families of these two countries invested large sums of money and troops to grab large amounts of land and resources.

However, the dividends of these explorations in the New World did not make Portugal and Spain more brilliant in the subsequent historical process, and a large amount of resources and money became a tool for the upper nobles to compete for luxury.

By the time the barbarism of the Age of Discovery receded, Spain and Portugal had no more resources to squander.

The second stage was the rise of Britain, France, Holland and other latecomers, in which the Age of Discovery, although the government also occupied the mainstream position, the degree of private participation was very high, and a large number of explorers, careerists and adventurers formed joint-stock companies one after another, and came into contact with a steady stream of profits on the newly opened routes.

Therefore, in the real Age of Discovery, in addition to the Ming court, it must also involve the people with many talents.

And the most effective way to bring these people together is a joint-stock company.

In the joint-stock company of the Age of Discovery, not only money can be used as shares, but also the navigator with experience can also get shares, and an outlaw who dares to fight hard can also get shares.

As long as Zhu Han made the East India Company a model of the joint-stock system, then when the Age of Discovery began, the explorers of the Ming Dynasty would inevitably follow.

The country is strong and the people are rich, and the two-pronged approach is the real internal strength of the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world in the future.

Zhu Han's explanation made the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang admire again and again.

"We're really convinced, Qiwu, you really don't know how your brain grows, Wenqu Xing and Wuqu Xing have all fallen on you!"

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that Zhu Han is a Wenqu star and a Wuqu star, but your people are more willing to believe that Zhu Han is the God of Wealth.

Soon after, the news that the Ming Dynasty was going to form an East India Company was going to spread throughout Yingtianfu.

To everyone's surprise, the East India Company raised funds from all over the world to buy shares.

Each share was no more than one tael of silver, and the entire East India Company issued a total of five million taels of silver.

Many people are confused about what exactly this Bird East India Company did.

But when everyone knew that the East India Company was organized by His Royal Highness, everyone immediately went crazy.

"His Royal Highness the King is in charge of national affairs, and the Ming Dynasty has never lacked silver!"

"Your Highness puts your mind into doing business, and that's not a sure win!"

"Although I don't know what this East India Company is doing, I want to decide on this dry stock!"

"If you want to get rich, you have to follow His Royal Highness!"

……

The hot scene of the East India Company's stock began to erupt in Yingtianfu.

After all, this kind of thing is unique in the whole world, and no one has ever had the experience of issuing stocks, so this burden naturally falls on Zhu Han himself.

Zhu Han rented a small storefront next door to the British Prince's Palace, specializing in the sale of shares of the East India Company.

A month later, on the day of the public offering of the East India Company's shares, announced by the imperial court.

In Yingtian City, the path at the back gate of the British King's Mansion was blocked by the water.

Traders from all over the country, one by one, lined up at the East India Company Agency at the back entrance of the British Prince's Mansion with large sums of cash or silver tickets to buy stocks.

Its hot scene frightened Ying Tianfuke.

Almost half of the rich people in the world have crowded here, and the British King's Mansion is in front, in case there is anything missing, Ying Tianfu Yin Ke will not be able to eat and walk around.

Ying Tianfu's third-class officials almost checked the street entrance.

The hot scene of the sale of shares of the Daming East India Company is not just this day.

Five million taels of silver stocks, a lot to say, but to say less is actually not much.

Many large merchants who traveled far away came to Yingtian with large sums of cash, but they were empty.

With more and more news released by the Ming court, everyone knows that India, which was called Tianzhu in ancient times, is really a rare feng shui treasure.

Not only do they produce precious spices, ivory, and other rare treasures, but the land is fertile and does not freeze all year round, and the rice in the field is as much as you want, and the gems in the mountains can be dug up with a hoe.

As the news spread, a large number of large merchants who did not buy the shares of the East India Company bought them at a higher price.

The stock, which originally cost one tael of silver per share, soared to three taels of silver a share after only half a month.

Even with this three-fold surge, not many people are willing to sell stocks.

At this time, a fleet sent by Duan Gong, Marquis of Dali, India, to congratulate him made these news completely true.

Although Duan Gong sent people to bring only three boats to congratulate him, each ship was filled with gold, precious stones, ivory, tiger skins, pearl rice and other valuable goods.

Moreover, in Duan Gong's fleet, even if it was the lowliest soldier, he was wearing gold and silver, and there were two dark-skinned Indian indigenous slaves by his side to serve intimately.

Duan Gong, the lost dog who was originally beaten by Chen Youliang and fled from Yunnan, is now so rich and generous.

Everyone was more confident in the prospects of the Daming East India Company.

After this news, the price of each stock of the East India Company soared from three taels of silver to ten taels.

In less than two months, the shares of the East India Company skyrocketed tenfold.

Many discerning businessmen have made stock reselling their main business.

After all, the number of people who bought the shares of the East India Company was in the minority, and many merchants who had been cautious and waited and watched now had no way to buy the shares with their money.

Once the East India Company is established, it is almost like taking the big guy to India to pick up money!

In the face of this huge profit, many businessmen who did not have the opportunity to contact some maritime businessmen, and they simply wanted to open up a way to India to do business and make money.

As for the mode of operation, it is natural to learn from the ready-made East India Company.

In just one month, at least ten companies modeled after the East India Company were established, and although these copycat versions of the East India Company did not have the official background of the Ming Dynasty, each of them also had one or two large businesses with strong reputation.

These knockoffs of the East India Company's respective shares turned out to be selling very well.

Because the gold and silver mines in Waguo and Liaoyang are too rich, and the Ming Dynasty, which gradually has an inflationary trend, instantly has a hot money channel to show.

Large sums of money flowed from the East India Company, large and small, to shipbuilding, navigation, and weapons manufacturing.

It's just that the commercial nine-pounder naval gun manufactured by the Tianfu Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, that is, a bulky guy made of cast iron, is a product that is eliminated and disliked by the navy, and the starting price has doubled within a month, and the pick-up time of this kind of naval gun has been queued up for half a year.

After all, the sea route to India is not smooth, and who knows if pirates of all sizes will pounce on them to find trouble?

Therefore, if these Ming merchant ships did not have a dozen naval guns to defend themselves, the sailors would never agree to go to sea.

Of course, the use of these naval guns for self-defense is one thing, and there is another aspect that everyone knows well, but never mentions it.

That's it, the merchants and sailors who only think about money have already heard from various channels that India is in a state of fragmentation, and the strength of the indigenous chieftains is not strong, if they do business well, it will be fine, if these Indian natives feel the slightest offense to the Ming Dynasty, then these merchant fleets full of adventure and river thieves and green forest heroes will also use cannons and swords to do their old jobs.

Zhu Han was well aware of these potential outlaws.

But Zhu Han didn't intend to stop them.

In this day and age, savagery is not an obstacle to survival, weakness is the fatal shortcoming.

If the Ming Dynasty can get all these river and ocean thieves in the territory to India to commit crimes, kill people and set fires, then wouldn't the world be peaceful in the Ming Dynasty?

is the so-called dead friend, not dead poor way.

India is not having a good life, but Zhu Han doesn't care.

But if you can make India's three days bad, and let Daming's life get better and better, Zhu Hanke is very happy to see it.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, piracy along the southeast coast has never stopped.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the local guards were strong, and the pirates did not dare to return to their old business.

Now the Ming East India Company and many copycat prototypes have made these good old pirates active again.

It's just that these pirates are not active on the sea, but one by one they came to Niujia Street in Yingtianfu, which is not only the place where the Ming East India Company sells its shares, but also the place where other companies are established.

Every maritime merchant who aspires to make a fortune naturally needs these pirates who lick blood at sea to help them be thugs.

This group of illiterate pirates and merchants had all the illusions of India at this time that they could only make a fortune.

What they don't realize is that it starts from this moment.

When a Ming ship sails to the Indian seashore and sets up a few cannons, it can conquer an Indian city.

In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone in the southeast important place with Yingtianfu as the center set their eyes on the newly established Daming East India Company.

The East India Company represented wealth, and it was only natural that the merchants of the Southeast, who had settled down, should focus their attention on making more money.

Unlike the rich Jiangnan, in the cold Moxi grassland.

Bao Bao, the regent of the Great Yuan, was still busy with food and supplies for the winter.

The place where Moxi Mongolia gathers, although the water and grass are abundant, is a good place for grazing and breeding.

But the more than 100,000 subordinates led by Wang Baobao are definitely not a grassland that can be fed.

Especially after the Warat tribes surrendered to Wang Baobao, if Wang Baobao could not lead the Warat tribes to grab more wealth, then these Warat Mongols who had no faith at all would definitely betray again.

Wang Baobao's eyes naturally listed the Eastern Chagatai Khanate as his preferred target.

The poor Eastern Chagatai Khan Tuluhei Timur was not the opponent of the Warat Mongols, but now he has Wang Baobao, a stronger leader, the remnants of the Mongol Yuan and the Warat coalition army. It even beat the East Chagatai Khanate to the bottom of the urine.

In less than two months, the Eastern Chagatai Khan Ballublack Timur lost more than a dozen cities.

Moreover, unlike those barbaric Warat people, the Dayuan army led by Wang Baobao, after capturing these cities, did not loot on a large scale and then abandoned the city, but left a part of the local officials to manage the city, and won over the local tribal leaders, which had the appearance of wanting to take root in this place.

Wang Baobao's style really cost the old life of the Eastern Chagatai Khan Ballublack Timur.

The original Warat people grabbed a wave and left, Wang Baobao is good, this is to dig up his own life.

Therefore, even if he was defeated and retreated, after leading his army to retreat to Huozhou City, he also made up his mind to live and die with Huozhou City.

Although the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is large, it has a great desert behind it.

The bald black Timur is already no way back.

The autumn wind is fierce, and the yellow sand is full of sky.

Outside the city of Huozhou.

Baluhi Timur led his own army of 20,000 and waited outside the city.

Wang Baobao led his Mengyuan guards and Wara army with a total of 10,000 people and came to the outside of Huozhou City.

Huozhou City was a must-stop on the Silk Road, with not only trade routes for collecting commercial taxes, but also large fertile oases for growing grain and grazing cattle and sheep.

Not only agriculture and animal husbandry, but also a large number of craftsmen in Huozhou City, all of them were slave craftsmen brought from the Central Plains, Persia, Khorezm and other places when the Mongol Empire conquered the Quartet.

Therefore, once the bald black Timur loses Huozhou City, he can only go to the desert and wait for death, and there is no chance to turn the tables again.

And if Wang Baobao seized Huozhou City, he could also declare the end of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and a large number of local people would be able to accept the rule of the Mengyuan court in the name of justice.

This decisive battle will determine the final fate of both sides.

"The true God is above, and every warrior will be blessed by the true God!"

"Kill all these bandits, and everyone will be eligible to go to the Holy Land!"

Eastern Chagatai Khan Bald Black Timur shouted loudly in front of his own army.

Although the bald black Timur was a Mongol, he had long converted to the Celestial Religion, not only was he a devout Celestial Sect, but he also vigorously promoted the Celestial Religion in the territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, not only built the Celestial Sect temple, but also forced various tribes to convert to the Celestial Religion.

Therefore, the entire territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has long been angered by the bald black Timur.
