In the mode of barter, the emergence of money is inevitable.

But the form in which money circulates is a matter worth debating.

As the market evolves, there is no doubt that paper money will replace silver.

Because, no one wants to take a heavy amount of silver to participate in commodity activities.

At present, silver is still active because paper money was abolished by the imperial court, and the people did not recognize it.

The first of the five basic functions of money is the measure of value.

In other words, money itself has value, and the Ming court has lost this value.

Paper money is naturally not circulating.

The premise of Yang Chengying's issuance of banknotes is to rebuild their value.

Therefore, when the other party saw these banknotes, they immediately realized the problem.

"I have a million household registrations in Liaodong Town, and I have a lot of business contacts with the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, as well as Jiangnan."

Yang Chengying said: "I am promoting paper money to replace silver. What shall you exchange your silver for? Will it still be a product that can be sold? ”

"A small place is not enough."

Kun Sha pretended to be disdainful, "Wait until you have Jiangnan, and then say such a big thing." ”

"I don't need to control Jiangnan, I just need to occupy a few strongholds and then drive you out of Macau."

Yang Chengying threatened slightly, "I believe that Spain is very happy to see this result, isn't it?" ”

This is really shooting yourself in the foot, originally thinking of luring the Liaodong Navy Division to fight with the Netherlands and Spain, and they will benefit from it.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Yang Chengying did after getting up was to deal with them.

Because with the projection capacity at that time, even the strongest Netherlands could not mobilize many people to resist.

Portugal is weak, so it is just right to practice.

"So, if we trade with you normally, will you guarantee our interests in Macau?"

Kun Sha and the others couldn't stand it anymore and began to soften.

"First, Macau is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and we will definitely take it back.

Second, I will give you the right to do business, but it is not a legal privilege, and you will be punished for violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Third, if you want to live for a long time, you must get our permission. ”

Yang Chengying was resolute.

What "lend-lease", to put it nicely.

Portugal lives in a large area of the local area, and there are often two sets of laws, and they often ridicule you for not knowing the law.

"What's in it for us to do that." Kun Sha and others.

"First, I can ensure your freedom of trade; Second, Spain was my first opponent. ”

Yang Chengying said: "King Felipe IV of Spain is a mediocre guy, and Spain at this time is already a foreign powerhouse, and I plan to expel his stronghold in the north of the chicken coop." ”

At this point, the chicken coop is split in two, with Spain to the north and the Netherlands to the south.

"We can't do these things, we need to go back and report to the king."

Kun Sha found that the other party knew too much about the situation in the West, so he had no choice but to retreat into advance: "But we continue to sell artillery to you, this will not break our promise." ”

"Yes, just a reminder for you."

Yang Chengying said: "My timber has been drying for up to six years, and in a few years, it can be used to build a first-class warship, but I don't have much time for you." ”

It's not all a threat to them.

The hundred-year-old navy is not to say, the wood worn out by a first-class warship is very amazing.

Due to the relatively early development time in Jiangnan, the good timber needed by ships had to be purchased from Southeast Asia.

Although there is a lot of wood in the Northeast, it still cannot withstand long-term use.

It was inevitable to go south to seize the sea stronghold.

"Well, we'll get back to you as soon as possible."

Kun Sha nodded.

"I have set up a drinking party at the house, and I can invite the wives of the delegations to also attend and dance together."

Yang Chengying said with a smile.

Kun Sha and the others were shocked, they didn't expect the other party to prepare these.

Wine table culture is a common problem all over the world.

The negotiating table can be very sharp, but the banquet must be as good as the landlord.

Yang Cheng should have been prepared for this, not only providing a variety of famous wines of the Ming Dynasty, but also wines from the Western Regions and wines shipped from the West.

Goblets are used at banquets.

The dance music that is played and sung is also the Western dance music of Professor John Tang.

Even at the banquet, in front of everyone, he danced a court dance with the wife of a representative.

The Portuguese mission was stunned and shouted incredulous.

Not only them, but even the generals who participated in the ball were dumbfounded.

After a dance, Kun Sha personally came to greet Yang Chengying with a wine glass.

"You've been an eye-opener for me, and now, I don't know what words to use to describe Your Excellency General, eh...... It's incredible. ”

Kunsha smiled and handed over the wine glass and said a long sentence.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "At the negotiation table, you and I represent the interests of both parties, and we can be friends at the ball." In fact, if we cooperate in the future, we will definitely have a good time working together. ”

"I believe in the words of Your Excellency the General."

Kunsha raised his glass.

Yang Chengying also raised his glass and touched the wine glass with him, and then took a sip.

The reception was held until midnight.

This directly led to Yang Chengying not getting up the next day and missing the training.

If Shen Yirong hadn't woken him up, he would have slept longer.

"General, you've always had a good amount of alcohol, why couldn't you stand it last night?"

Shen Yirong teased while setting the dishes and chopsticks.

Originally, Shen Yirong didn't have to do these jobs, but she didn't think so.

"Well, I'm glad for a moment. The thought of being on the ocean in the future makes my heart excited. ”

Yang Chengying finished washing his hands and said with a smile while wiping.

"That's how you want to live at sea."

"It's not a yearning, but the future belongs to the sea, and whoever masters the sea can become the center of the world."

With that, he sat down at the table.

"What is the world?" Shen Yirong handed him the rice bowl.

"The world is the world!"

Yang Chengying explained simply.

"You mean, you're going to take over the world?"

Shen Yirong thought crookedly.

This almost choked Yang Chengying, and hurriedly explained: "No, I mean who can occupy the sea, it's not my business alone." ”

"Oh." Shen Yirong didn't believe it at all.

But she didn't delve into it, but said: "In a few months, Runrun will be one year old, should you, who are fathers, go back and take a look." ”

"Of course I have to go back."

Yang Chengying said: "Hey, you said that I never had children before, but since I had Runrun, there have been more children." ”

He was referring to the fact that Yingniang was also pregnant.

Just when he was staying in Quang Ninh, she was pregnant.

"yes, when will I have a child of my own?"

Shen Yirong's voice was very small.

Yang Chengying lowered his head and cooked, pretending not to hear.

Looking at him like this, Shen Yirong sighed lightly.

It's not that I complain, but I feel that the general doesn't pay attention to this aspect.

Occupy the world, isn't that the emperor?

Which of the founding emperor's heirs did not prosper!

The founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty has dozens of sons.

Fortunately, Yang Chengying can't read minds, otherwise he would have choked to death when he heard this.
