In the thirty-fourth year of Jingtai, the inventory of state-owned enterprises came to an end.

State-owned enterprises set sail again, and the center added several state-owned enterprise brands.

Kweichow Moutai, Wuliangye, Fenjiu, Xifeng Liquor, Erguotou and Laobaigan six liquor brands, as well as Qingdao, Harbin, Xuehua, Yanjing and Wusu five canned beer brands, as well as Turpan, Alps, Great Wall and Lafite four red wine brands.

More than a dozen tribute tea brands have been established to form a brand matrix and make all-round efforts.

In recent years, the liquor business has been very profitable, such as Xifeng, Xijiu, Niulanshan, and Jiannanchun are all old brands that have a lot of influence among the people.

However, in foreign trade, the people of Eurasian countries are not interested in liquor, and no one loves to drink liquor except for Mongolians.

On the contrary, fruit wine and beer are more popular, but the profit is too thin and easy to imitate.

The emperor's meaning is to build a high-end liquor brand, give the liquor financial attributes, and become a hard currency.

Therefore, after cleaning up the state-owned enterprises, Daming merged all the liquor brands and established the Daming Liquor Group, which has six liquor brands under its jurisdiction.

Xifeng liquor is not wholly owned by state-owned enterprises, but a joint venture, this brand has a history of more than 2,000 years, the original name is Liujiu, the center was renamed Xifeng, simply state-owned enterprise holdings, and some local masters have established a joint venture factory.

In order to integrate the private liquor industry to the greatest extent, the center has fully injected capital into more than 30 existing liquor factories and has a certain share.

Jointly launched high-end imperial liquor, a total of more than 30 brands of high-end liquor.

This kind of wine will be used as the official hospitality wine of the sports meeting and the coming of all countries, and the emperor will directly connect with the emperors of various countries to directly sell this high-end wine.

For the sake of gimmicks, it is not sold to the private sector.

In fact, it is a disguised hunger marketing, arguing the price, and then selling it in China.

The twentieth Zhu Jianjun personally operated and planned high-end marketing.

The same is true for tea brands, the center will inject a round of capital into all existing tea brands in the private sector, and then launch absolutely high-end tea products to monopolize the world's high-end market.

Wang Fu danced with the emperor and said, depicting a grand blueprint.

Zhu Qiyu was disdainful: "What the Ming Dynasty likes, Asian and European countries may not like it, I see that your mind should be on wine." ”

But wine is rampant in Europa, and Europa still wants to export it to Daming.

"Wang Qing, it's useless for you to work so hard, Europa doesn't like liquor."

Zhu Qiyu has seen the answer: "You can reverse marketing, boast about how good it is sold abroad in China, how much the French emperor loves to drink, and then sell it to the domestic aristocracy, it is best to give a foreign name. ”

The emperor's blow could not extinguish Wang Fu's ambition.

Taking advantage of the return of the treasure ship of Chu, the Ming Dynasty sent another thirty treasure ships, along with Zhu Youzhang, the prince of Chu, and sent envoys to visit the countries of Europa.

Take this opportunity to launch a high-end brand.

Although Wang Fu wants to blossom on both sides, he also has to pay attention to the emperor's opinion, and it is not bad to register an offshore company and fight against the wool of the old wealth of the domestic landlord.

Dachu Liquor Group was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the center.

The Roman distillery was established, the trademark of Roman liquor was registered, and the entire liquor was in Italian, and it was still filled with two pots, ready to sell at a sky-high price.

It is not enough to register a brand, it needs word-of-mouth and fame, and it has to be marketed, so it is said that the French emperor's royal wine, no, the French emperor's forced style is not enough, the papal royal wine, and the Roman brand liquor.

This wave of marketing is very.

But the effect is very good, from the Beijing Division, from the Beijing Division, from the Beijing Division, borrowed a foreign trademark, and actually sold Wuliangye.

The first wine of the Ming Dynasty, Wuliangye.

This brand is still launched by Zhu Qizhen, but Wuliangye is indeed better than Moutai, and it can package and market, and stabilize Moutai.

For more than 20 years, sales have been far ahead.

As a result, it was dried up by Roman brand liquor, which was somewhat a failure.

Wang Fu found that the landlord was too easy to deceive.

Draw inferences from one another, register Roman tea, Alpine lollipops, French toffee and other foreign devil brands, all of which are sold at sky-high prices and make a lot of money.

No matter how the center hides, it can't be hidden after a long time.

Soon it was peeled by businessmen, the so-called Roman food group, registered in Rome, but the origin is Beijing!

What we buy is made in Beijing, and the White Rabbit is the same company, the same toffee, the White Rabbit is seven dollars a penny, and the French toffee is a dollar! You can't buy it yet! I have to say thank you!

The problem is, the leeks don't believe it.

He also scolded the newspaper for being unscrupulous media, talking nonsense, French toffee and white rabbit are obviously not the same taste, and the Alps have the stench of the French emperor not bathing!

Wang Fu found that it was particularly profitable, so he turned back on the country in an all-round way.

And increase newspaper publicity, hollow out thoughts to write propaganda slogans, endless advertisements, all in foreign languages, the fewer Chinese characters, the more those fools believe.

After the countries copied it, they changed the Egyptian text and changed it, and they also moved it out to hype, and it was about to sell explosively.

At the end of 35 years, Roma Group handed over a beautiful answer.

The annual revenue is 1.7 billion, the net profit is as high as 120 million, and the profit is expected to reach 500 million!

This figure directly boiled the cabinet.

Daming Liquor Group, bitterly engaged in exports, engaged in high-end, did not make a penny all year round, and lost more than 20 million.

You are a copycat brand, using all domestic inventory, changing the wrapping paper, and selling so much directly.

Who can balance in their hearts?

The problem is, those are all inventory, things that couldn't be sold before, the shelf life is almost over, change a piece of wrapping paper, sell well, and have a good reputation.

The emperor only said that the moon abroad is rounder than at home, but he didn't say much.

On the contrary, the ministers are thinking, the people are very rich, how can they find a way to collect the people's money to the center?

At the beginning of the 36th year of Jingtai, more than 20 large foreign-funded groups were established.

Newspapers were flooded with advertisements.

For a time, "foreign goods" flooded the entire Ming Dynasty.

Private capital is also following up, and throughout the 36 years of Jingtai, more than 1,000 foreign-funded companies have been registered, mainly in Australia.

Ordinary people don't know where Australia is at all, anyway, there are many words, and they must have a bull's nose.

But I don't know, it's the new land of the Ming Dynasty, just change the foreign name, the most interesting thing is that the Australian language is drawn out blindly, and even the person who wrote it doesn't know what it is, but there are people who are actually studying Australian.

Don't talk about the product, if it is stained with a foreign name, it will be sold until it explodes.

Buy, buy, buy!

A gluttonous feast of "foreign capital" was staged in Daming.

Wang Fuxing rushed into the Heart Cultivation Hall and told the emperor that this year's financial income may exceed 300 million!

The income of state-owned enterprises may reach 2 billion!

Zhu Qiyu really didn't see it before, Wang Fu is a marketing genius, and the old twenty is not bad.

A foreign-funded feast, the first meal of meat is full of oil, and this soup is estimated to be able to drink for more than ten years, and when the children grow up, they can also harvest a group of children's feelings and make a lot of money.

Twenty years later, the reputation of these groups collapsed.

Collapse will collapse, who made you stupid.

With the issuance of gold coins by the center, the cash on Daming's plate has exceeded 20 billion, or even more.

The center found gold mines in Africa, but the mined gold had to be returned to the emperor and interest had to be paid.

The emperor is also holding a stake in the gold in it.

Wang Fu had a secret conversation with the emperor for a long time.

"Wang Qing, you have to remember one thing, the money that enters the center has to be spent, and the money has to flow to be money."

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "There is really no place to spend, so I will invest in infrastructure and let the money go back to the people's pockets." ”

"If you circulate it repeatedly, the value of the money will increase."

Wang Fu's face turned bitter: "Your Majesty, you said it simply, but after more than 20 years of infrastructure construction, what else has not been done?" Roads have been built, bridges have been built when they shouldn't have been built, schools have been built one after another, and even if a billion children go to school in the future, it will be enough. ”

That's right, the excessive infrastructure of the people is supported by the emperor.

It is time for new technologies, such as steam engines, to emerge to drive a major change in the whole industry in order to stimulate the second consumption.

The problem was that the steam engine was developed, but it could not be mass-produced.

Electricity, which appeared in Jingtai in the thirtieth year, someone put forward the theory of electricity, and the emperor also invested a lot of money, and now he can't even see a ghost.

All walks of life have entered a bottleneck.

Over the years, the center has introduced more than 100,000 talents from Europa, but technology is slow.

Is it only possible to invest in real estate?

Real estate is the best reservoir for a new round of capital flow.

In the past, Zhu Qiyu hated real estate the most, but when he came to this point, he found that blowing up the real estate bubble was not a road.

"What about the infrastructure of the feudal kingdom?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought that the Ming Dynasty walked on two legs, and there were countless vassal states outside the mainland.

Wang Fu is not optimistic about the infrastructure of the feudal country: "It's easy to draw water with a bamboo basket." ”

That's right, the vassal country is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and the infrastructure payback cycle is at least 20 years, and now the investment is made, in case of a huge loss in the future, the money will flow into the vassal country, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Then develop real estate."

Zhu Qiyu clapped.

Domestic housing prices began to rise, and there were real estate speculation groups in various places, starting from Beijing to speculate, speculating in housing prices higher and higher.

The higher the housing prices, the more financial attributes they naturally bring.

Smart people are starting to enter.

But real estate really makes fools' money, and the first person to enter the market can't make their money, and it is the last person to take over the money.

Beat the drum and pass the flowers, and pass it to the last person to take over the plate.

But smart people are also easy to be fascinated by reality, and then become the last receiver.

The people who jump out of the circle are either sober people or human rights dignitaries who know the direction of the policy.

The rate of return on infrastructure was low, and the emperor did not want to develop real estate, because real estate meant urbanization.

The point is that the huge amount of money in the bank lies in the bank, and if the financial revenue continues to lie down, then Daming is a pool of stagnant water, forcing real estate to be used as a reservoir.

The emperor's original intention was to be a reservoir, and the house price rose slightly, so just put the money in the center.

But once the real estate is developed, the emperor cannot stop it.

And this means offending the elite.

Because they are the first to play, don't they cut us!

Will they still be able to give their lives to the emperor?

So Zhu Qiyu pressed the real estate start button, everything was out of his control, and housing prices soared, doubling in just one year.

In the entire thirty-six years of Jingtai, the entire Ming Dynasty broke out with unprecedented prosperity and blazing flowers.

High-end luxury goods, consumption surged.

In the past, the Ming people were careful in their calculations, but now they are spending money lavishly, and even gradually rising the trend of loans, spending tomorrow's money and enjoying today.

The extreme prosperity of all walks of life is visible to the naked eye, and everyone is full of smiling faces, as if the silver coin in his hand is not money.

And man has become full of will, and his speech has become extremely arrogant.

All because the price of the house has gone up!

The price of the house has risen, the future is bright, and even, some people have found a shortcut to make a fortune and speculate on the house!

Buying and selling a house is better than ten years of hard work, so who will delve into a technology? The whole society is in a state of extreme glitz.

The most important thing is that they don't have money in their pockets, this is vanity, imaginaryism, and all prosperity is blown out and imagined!

However, a bubble of nothingness covered everyone, and Da Ming completely changed.

This extreme prosperity frightened the central ministers.

The emperor has issued several decrees to advocate good customs such as folk simplicity, but they all regard the emperor's words as fart, the house is so valuable, will I still be short of money?

Going to the restaurant has become the hottest word this year.

In the past, everyone was busy all year round, and they were reluctant to go to the restaurant for a meal, but now, they go to the restaurant casually, go to the restaurant if they don't like to eat at home, go to the restaurant to eat if they don't eat well at home, and even have a "why don't you eat in the restaurant every day?" "Such a trend!

The whole Da Ming became agitated.

The restlessness of two billion people.

The whole society has entered an extremely unbalanced stage of development, not because of the imbalance between people and people, but because of the imbalance of thought, and the thought cannot keep up with the pace of rapid development, and Confucianism has been questioned.

The few sober people are scolded as old and stubborn, and they can't keep up with the old waste of the times.

At the same time, it has added great difficulty to immigration, because Daming is so happy, who wants to go to that bitter place to suffer?

Immigrants have gone from being easy to talk about to being compulsory.

According to the number of registered people.

Fast, rich and crazy have become the main tone of Jingtai for 36 years.

Even if the emperor appealed and the central government issued an order, it could not stop this atmosphere, but there was a voice among the people that the emperor was outdated, and the crown prince should be allowed to ascend the throne.

Daming entered the so-called "fast" era of development.

Even, at one time, the emperor wanted to press the real estate rest, but was dissuaded by the central ministers because the report card was too beautiful.

In the 36th year of Jingtai, the fiscal revenue soared to 500 million, the total income of state-owned enterprises was as high as 3.7 billion, and the total income of the Royal Commercial Bank exceeded 3 billion.

Private wealth has doubled as a whole.

Big capital doesn't know how many times it has increased, which is a scene that has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the emperor wants to press the rest, I am afraid it will be difficult, because the development of real estate completely deviates from the development track of the emperor and cannot be stopped at all.

At the end of the year, the emperor suddenly issued an order to force the capital with millions of assets to invest 20% in the technology industry.

The cabinet was against it, but they were scolded by the emperor and told them to get out and kneel.

Zhu Jianqi hadn't seen his father so angry for a long time.

Ming Mingming's development is so good, why should the emperor be angry?

Now is the time to grow fast, and we should accelerate the expansion of real estate, rather than invest in bullshit technology.

The financial income is 500 million, and Jingtai is only 6 million taels in eight years, how many times has this been doubled! Why should the emperor be angry?

The courtiers didn't understand either.

However, the governor of the three Burma, Qiu Junshangshu, said that real estate is devastating to all walks of life, and even a devastating blow to the people's customs.

He suggested that the housing price rest should be pressed and the financial attributes of housing prices should be deleveraged.

However, he was attacked by many capitalists, scolding Qiu Jun for not knowing how to pretend to understand, and some of them also picked up Qiu Jun's private life disorderliness, his son's fraud in the imperial examination, and so on.

The people are noisy, and the palace is also very lively.

"Your Majesty, if this trend continues, at most three years, the financial revenue will exceed one billion!"

Wang Fu's tone was excited: "One billion, that's money that I couldn't see for hundreds of years before." ”

The courtiers were not willing to look at the disadvantages of this matter for the sake of money, but vigorously advocated the future prospects of real estate.

"Your Majesty, even if you force the rest and wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, can the prince still not do it?" Wang Hong hit the nail on the head.

Emperor, you can suppress the capital of the world and do things contrary to the hearts of the people of the world.

But can the prince?

Does he have the capital? Can he not be seduced by such a huge interest?

Zhu Qiyu was upset: "Wang Qing, others get up early when they see profits, can't you see it thoroughly?" ”

Wang Hong is seventy years old this year, and he is an old qualification.

can be regarded as the Dinghai Shenzhu in the court, and Shang Chen, Peng Shi, and became the three elders of the center, and the emperor relied on the most is the three people.

"Your Majesty, what if you can see it thoroughly?"

Wang Hong smiled bitterly: "This is real money, who doesn't like it?" In the past, the center looked forward and backward, isn't it just bad money? ”

"You forget, how many times in previous years you got angry for money."

"At that time, I was still worried about the suspension of agricultural taxes, and how should the center develop."

"With so much revenue now, is there anything more important than that?"

Where there is money, there is everything.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Shang Yuan.

Shang Shi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's worries, the old minister understands, is nothing more than false prosperity and bubbles. ”

"In fact, people don't have money in their pockets, but they are confused by the soaring housing prices, and they are willing to take out the money in their pockets and spend it."

"Moreover, with the explosion of real estate, the development of all walks of life is even more declining."

"So you're worried that once the real estate thunderstorms, Daming will be torn apart."

The business is seen thoroughly.

The emperor actually hated this kind of unskilled development, and real estate was the most useless thing.

"But Your Majesty, you always talk about industrialization, where does the capital for industrialization come from?"

"The Ming Dynasty did not go to barbaric colonization, and lacked huge primitive accumulation."

"There is simply no way to promote industrialization."

The businessman is worthy of being a big bull, he is a monk halfway, and he sees the economy so thoroughly.

"Also, how much silver has the bank deposited over the years?"

"The total existence of the bank has created a huge administrative burden on the bank."

"Nowadays, the credit industry is developed, so that the money lying in the bank has also flowed into the market, once again propping up the capital plate of Daming."

"Driven by real estate, the money in the hands of the people has also been put into the market for a second time and circulated many times."

"The primitive accumulation of the center, there is; The accumulation of private capital has also been there, and the common people have also become rich by relying on real estate. ”

"The most important thing is, isn't there a huge amount of gold and silver mines found in the west? Your Majesty has sent a hundred treasure ships to the west to bring gold and silver back to China. ”

"As long as there is a steady flow of capital, money plus labor is value."

On the contrary, the old minister felt that he was not panicking.

Peng Shi said: "Your Majesty, with the high prosperity of Daming, countless foreign capital has poured into Daming, and a large amount of capital has poured into the domestic market. ”

"Real estate is developing like this, and it's a bit deflationary."

"Since Your Majesty has the intention of preventing problems before they happen, then set up strict supervision, especially for the real estate market, as well as the supervision of real estate speculation groups and private capital."

"As long as the supervision is effective, even if there is an accident, it will be a small-scale accident, and the overall market will not collapse."

"The most important thing is that with real estate, Daming's assets can circulate smoothly in China and support the capital market."

"At the same time, it also provides a steady stream of funds to the center."

"This money is invested in infrastructure, education, and industry investment, and there is no problem."

"In addition, real estate can drive the rapid development of related industries, form a large-scale industrial chain, and promote the rapid development of Daming's economy."

The three elders of the center spoke, these three are the old men that the emperor attaches great importance to, and when they speak, the emperor will basically listen.

"You guys, you're really fascinated by money."

Zhu Qiyu was not fooled: "I only ask you, attach financial value to the house price, this is a game of drumming and passing flowers, the house can be built infinitely, this plate is unlimited, and people, to be precise, can afford to buy a house is limited." ”

"If it doesn't collapse today, it will collapse in 10 or 20 years."

"I ask you, how will it be solved when the time comes?"

It is equivalent to saying that bury a big thunder for the prince.

Zhu Jianqi is both hopeful and unwilling, very contradictory.

Peng Shi didn't dare to say anything to shirk responsibility, so after thinking about it, he said: "The old minister thinks that it will not collapse." ”

"As you say, the land is infinite, and the house is infinite."

"But you're wrong, people are infinite."

"Today, the population of Daming is 2 billion, and Daming is rich in the world, and the peak of the population in the future will be about 8 billion."

"Think about it, eight billion people, how many houses do you need?"

"Do you need to replace your old house? It's small, do you need to change it? ”

"Moreover, 8 billion people are upgrading, and another 8 billion people will be created, and the population is basically constant, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty is limited."

Peng Shi's words woke up the dreamer.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it according to the eyes of later generations, but the reality is that the Ming Dynasty has five continents, and everyone in the world is a Ming person.

And the local area is the hometown that everyone cherishes.

Will they come to Daming to buy a house in the future? Even if it doesn't, can the center play a wave of hometown feelings and attract them to return to China to buy a house?

In other words, this game can be played for thirty years, or even fifty years.

When the time comes, give up the small cities and ensure that the housing prices in the big cities do not collapse, and the big deal is a hard landing on real estate, directly cut off all the tentacles, and kick out a few top mines.

And now the interests are real.

Wang Fu is right, the financial income is so much money, the most in history, what can't be done with money?

Another point is that he forced real estate funds to enter the technology industry, which is also arranging a way back for Daming, as long as he does not only play real estate, Daming will not collapse.

Another preparation is real estate development, the center must occupy the majority, 70% is not enough, to account for 80% to 90%.

At the same time, it is necessary to set up an offshore law, and no one who has an industry in the Ming Dynasty is allowed to go offshore.

"What you Aiqing said makes sense."

Zhu Qiyu touched his chin: "Since real estate is so fun, I can add another fire." ”

What? Can you play new tricks?

Zhu Qiyu laughed wryly: "Silver is real money, and no matter how much it depreciates, it is also a real thing, and real estate that cannot be leveraged, and real estate without leverage will be lame after all." ”

"The issuance of banknotes can make the real estate industry prosperous to the extreme."

The courtier was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought about the feasibility of this matter.

Really.

The treasure banknote, in fact, was determined by the silver standard, and then developed to the gold standard and to the government's credit endorsement.

It is the latter that plays to the extreme, just increase the leverage and start the money printing machine.

Da Ming is playing like this now, and he will play it directly.

But as long as the domestic capital is huge and the Ming Yuan is made into the world currency, the collapse will make all countries in the world thunder, and the Ming Dynasty will be safe and sound.

"The old minister thinks it's feasible." Wang Hong said.

"Wait and see how much silver will be brought back from the new land."

Zhu Qiyu knows that real estate has just emerged, and now it is just making a fortune in big cities, and it will burn to every corner of Daming in the future.

When he returned a large amount of silver from the Americas, he would consider issuing paper money.

America is full of silver, and it is worthless.

When he came back from the message last year, Zhu Qiyu directly sent 100 treasure ships, plus 200,000 immigrants and 100,000 slave miners, to Xindi to mine silver.

At this stage, you don't have to dig it yourself, just trade with the Indians, those wild people, just send something, they will be like a treasure.

If they don't give it, they will send troops to rob it.

At the beginning of the thirty-seventh year of Jingtai, good news came from the northwest, Fan Guang defeated the Kazakh Khanate, and Man Su'er committed suicide.

The old twenty fiefdoms are there, ready to prepare, and will go to the successor next year.

He was named the king of Wei and became the first barrier of the Ming Dynasty.

Let's talk about Zhu Youjiao.

With thirty treasure ships, it took more than half a year to arrive in Rome and meet my father, this time all the family members were brought from the Ming Dynasty.

accompanied by Liu Daxia.

Chen Tai was responsible for completing the construction of the Forbidden City and returned to Daming.

Zhu Jianshen is a little unfamiliar with his son, after all, when he left home, this kid was still naughty in the palace, and now he is an adult.

The princess was also personally chosen by the emperor, and she and Zhu Youzhu were in love.

In this regard, Zhu Jianshen believed in the emperor's vision, the princess the emperor chose for him was excellent, and he was willing to fulfill him and the Wan family, and also raised the Wan family's family, and her ancestors were crowned for three generations.

It's just that the emperor wants Zhu Youzhu to take care of the canal, which makes him dissatisfied.

He didn't delegate power like the emperor.

He doesn't want to learn, he wants to be a unique king.

But it is clear in the emperor's secret decree that Zhu Youzhu is the appointed prince of Chu, and he will inherit your Great Chu Empire in the future.

Let him take power early, it will be beneficial to your Chu State.

Besides, the Mediterranean Sea is so big, you can't control it alone, it's best to train two more sons, divide a few pieces, and become a Ming-style vassal king.

The emperor made a deep analysis of the situation in the Mediterranean.

thinks that the Mediterranean Sea is not a good land, and Spain has bad intentions, and Chengcheng is determined to use you Zhu Jianshen as a target.

Spain is actually very strategic, using the Ottomans as a target in Eastern Europe and you as a target in Western Europe, and he is in the middle and has the greatest profits.

Zhu Jianshen read it very carefully, and there were not only the emperor's analysis, but also the letters of the important ministers of the court, giving him advice.

This time, the treasure ship led by Zhu Youzhu was loaded with machinery, books, and technical talents, so that the Chu State could quickly lay a solid foundation in order to complete the Europa hegemony.

Of course, the emperor tactfully revealed in the letter that it was better to give up the land of Italy, master North Africa, and be invincible forever.

Zhu Jianshen put down the letter and sighed in his heart: "I don't know that Italy is a big pit, but when this pit comes in, it can't get out." ”

Spain did not allow Da Chu to leave.

France felt that Da Chu was a good neighbor, who could help them block the Pope's decree and act as a-stirring stick for the Holy Roman Empire.

Ottoman is more in favor of Da Chu to occupy Italy, a natural target, can he give up?

As for Portugal and the United Kingdom, their sense of existence is indeed not high, and they have no right to speak, but they don't want Da Chu to leave.

In this way, Zhu Jianshen couldn't leave if he wanted to.

can only grit his teeth, build the capital in Milan, build the Forbidden City, build passes, and garrison troops in key areas.

The Holy Roman Empire was in civil strife, and Austria, Bohemia (Czech) and Poland sought independence.

France took the opportunity to annex Switzerland.

Ottoman and Hungary have played a dog brain, and the Hungarian side is also in collapse, and the Europa countries have held three peace talks in recent years to mediate between Ottoman and Hungary.

During this period, Germany rose again, personally ending the national fortunes of the Holy Roman Empire, and Germany was officially established.

The Holy Roman Empire completely collapsed.

This empire was originally founded by Germany, but it was destroyed by Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire was divided into the Kingdom of Germany, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Austria, and the Kingdom of Bohemia.

But the germ of capitalism did not spread from Italy to Germany.

Because of the germination of capitalism in Italy, it was interrupted by Zhu Jianshen, and then everyone was sold back to the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, Zhu Jianshen likes the Ming Dynasty of the Orthodox Dynasty, and after he establishes a defense, he will close off the country.

As long as Germany and France are honest, he will not bother to take care of these two goods, and honestly immigrate to engage in construction.

In the thirty-seventh year of Jingtai, the Forbidden City of Milan took three years to complete the construction of the main building.

Zhu Jianshen invited the royal families of various countries to visit his palace.

Those royal families looked stupid when they saw such a huge palace, they were all the same emperors, why did you live in such luxury?

Louis XI decided to build the Palace of Versailles!

To build a miniature version of the Daming Palace, as his play building.

The German emperor decided to build the Berlin Palace, and also to imitate a small Forbidden City, to show the greatness of the German emperor.

Spain, the overlord of Europa, was decisive and couldn't bear it, and invited Daming craftsmen to build a Daming Palace on the basis of the Alhambra, and the price was easy to say.

The Chinese wind suddenly blew away from Western Europe.

Even the Ottomans felt that their palace was shabby, and although Topkapi Palace was large, it was crude, and it was time to build a palace of great scale.

Zhu Jianshen told them that Da Chu built three palaces at the same time, Milan was the latest, and Yingdu (Tunisia) and Cairo both built one.

This made the Emperor of Europa sour enough.

You are an upstart, but you have three palaces, so you don't let people live?

The Kaiser originally wanted to use the palace of the Holy Roman Empire to deal with it, but was stimulated by Zhu Jianshen and decided to build the largest palace in the world.

Not to be outdone, France doubled the size of the Palace of Versailles, vowing to build the largest palace in the world.

Spain cannot let the Alhambra, the largest in the world, be robbed of the first place by others, and simply double its size, and the face of the world hegemon cannot be lost.

Zhu Jianshen watched the show.

The Forbidden City is indeed not big, but this does not include the outer buildings of the Forbidden City, if you count it, it is estimated that it can be about the same size as the Alhambra.

Then build another Old Summer Palace, bigger than it, you will definitely not be able to compare with me, if you compare again, I will build the City of All Nations.

Europa is caught in the middle of building a palace.

The most embarrassing thing is whether the UK and Portugal are good, have you considered our feelings?

The key Zhu Jianshen is still spreading, kicking Britain out of Europa and into Africa, all countries are happy people, willing to watch Da Chu and Da Ying bite.

Britain is the most fucked up, they obviously blocked the guns for Spain, but Spain saw them as a joke and was not a son of man.

Therefore, Britain and Portugal became friendly and united with the Netherlands in an attempt to challenge Spain's supremacy.

Spain maintained its supremacy by relying on the Invincible Armada.

As long as the Armada is crushed, Spain will be withdrawn from the stage of history.

The ones who want to overthrow Spain the most are definitely Portugal and the Netherlands.

But with the power of the Three Kingdoms, it is far from enough, it is better to pull Da Chu on, this good target, you have to use it well.

The king pinched his nose and sent envoys to contact Da Chu.

Zhu Jianshen has huge ambitions for Corsica and Sardinia.

Without these two islands, he could not sleep soundly.

The British took these two islands and negotiated with Da Chu.

Zhu Jianshen did not agree immediately, but discussed with Liu Daxia and Chen Tai.

Liu Daxia sneered twice: "The British are a-stirring stick, they are alone, and if they don't fan the flames, they have no sense of existence." ”

"As long as there is peace on the continent of Europa, Britain will have to die."

"Two small broken islands are not enough for Daming to make a move."

"If you want Monaco, you will completely control the entire mountain range, so that there will be no loopholes in the defense line of the northern frontier of Great Chu."

Chen Tai asked: "Why not North Africa?" ”

Liu Daxia rolled his eyes, this person is really not suitable for politics.

What do you want from North Africa, Portugal and the Netherlands? Do you want Spain proper? Spain must not play with its life, the conflict of interests, it is not interesting to play with life, who wants to run out of vitality with a hegemonic country?

Da Chu is now on the defensive, doing a good job in defense and concentrating on development is the last word.

Too much turf is not a good thing.

Eventually, the four parties reached an agreement that Great Chu would get Corsica, Sardinia and Monaco, North African lands under the control of the three countries, and the Strait of Gibraltar would be jointly administered by the four countries.

Monaco is a small country in the mountains, very small, and belongs to France.

When the war is won, the new hegemon will naturally negotiate with France, and it is a big deal to cede some Spanish interests to France, and the two countries border each other anyway.

Make an appointment.

Four-nation alliance against the Spanish Armadada.

Although Spain defended Portugal, it did not guard against Da Chu, who he believed did not gain a foothold in Europa and did not dare to challenge his supremacy.

But he didn't want Zhu Jianshen to be rebellious and hug the thighs of the new overlord.

Spain immediately requested French support.

France pretends to be deaf and dumb, and hates to have the emperor of Spain sitting on his head.

The war was unexpected, the Armada was defeated, the defeat was terrible, the Portuguese did not take prisoners, and sank 70% of the battleships.

Spain immediately declined.

I had to take out the land and negotiate peace with the Four-Nation Alliance.

As soon as the new overlord Portugal came to power, he immediately turned his face and refused to give Monaco and Corsica to Da Chu, and was only willing to hand over Sardinia to Da Chu.

Zhu Jianshen is not a loser.

He sent troops to seize the Strait of Gibraltar.

At the same time, he was friendly with Spain, willing to lend ships to Spain, and supported Spain's control of the Strait of Gibraltar.

In fact, when Portugal resolutely made a killer, Zhu Jianshen should have guessed that Portugal was going to cheat, and he still overestimated the credibility of the countries of Europa.

Because the Armada was defeated, Portugal, together with Britain and the Netherlands, was the strongest navy.

Unless the Ming Dynasty can gather Faao and form the navies of the three countries.

But the Ottomans had no interests here, and France was also bought off by Portugal, a big Chu, he Portugal didn't pay attention to it.

Zhu Jianshen lent a boat to Spain, which really made Portugal unexpected.

Da Chu opened two shipyards, although the navy is weak, but there are many ships, after all, it is engaged in transportation business.

The Spanish Armada sank, and there were many domestic sailors, as long as there were enough warships, they could immediately recover blood.

The three countries fought a naval battle in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Da Chu suffered.

Zhu Jianshen didn't care about this loss, Liu Daxia personally sent an envoy to France to negotiate terms with France.

Louis XI didn't want to seek help from the Ming Dynasty, Liu Daxia sent it to the door, and soon reached an agreement with Louis XI that France would send troops from the Bay of Biscay to attack Portugal proper.

Portugal immediately showed defeat and could only negotiate with Da Chu.

The British, who were even worse, completely fell to France this time, joined forces to attack the Portuguese mainland, and tried to sink the Portuguese navy.

Not to be outdone, the Netherlands formed an alliance with Britain to fight Portugal together.

Portugal was suddenly the target of public criticism.

The hegemon had only been in office for a few days, and immediately went into decline.

In June of the 38th year of Jingtai, Portugal surrendered and peace talks began in the Balearics, and the Kingdom of Aragon feared that the kingdoms would take the opportunity to annex their kingdom.

In the end, the result of the peace talks was to compensate Ming and France with 100,000 silver coins, Spain with 150,000 yuan, and Britain and the Netherlands with 30,000 yuan each.

Sardinia and Corsica were assigned to Da Chu, who bought Monaco from France for 10 silver coins.

Da Chu signed an agreement no longer to expand to the outside world.

Zhu Jianshen wanted to seek to occupy Malta, but was sternly refused, and did not allow Da Chu to expand further, otherwise he would be the enemy of the countries of Europa.

Zhu Jianshen had no choice but to sign a non-expansion treaty.

That same night, Spain launched an army against Aragon and annexed the Balearic Islands.

The Ming Dynasty took the lead, dissatisfied with Spain's annexation of new territories, and demanded that Spain give up its annexation of the Kingdom of Aragon and return the territory.

You won't let me expand, and I won't let you expand, so neither of us can think about it.

Sure enough, Spain aroused the hostility of international powers.

Da Chu took back all the warships lent to Spain.

Now the Spanish Shabi is up.

He pit Da Chu on the front foot, and Da Chu on the back foot did not lend him a ship, his invincible fleet was gone, and he still occupied the greatest interests of Europa, and he took charge of it and annexed the Kingdom of Aragon.

Sure enough, Portugal took the lead and attacked Spain.

The flames of war were rekindled.

The Portuguese, British, Dutch, French, and Chu allied forces to capture Spain proper.

Spain was directly scared to pee.

The war reached the Alhambra Palace, and Spain was forced to sign an alliance under the city and take out the Strait of Gibraltar to be administered, but the territory of North Africa still belonged to Spain.

This aroused the hatred of Britain and France, and France demanded that part of the North African colonies be ceded to France, and Portugal also took the opportunity to return to blood.

The Dutch were not interested in the colonies, they wanted a Spanish chart to the East, and the sea coachmen were about to rise.

The war was even negotiated, and in the thirty-ninth year of Jingtai, the six countries signed an agreement.

The Strait of Gibraltar is administered by six countries, with Spain taking the lion's share.

In the North African colonies, Spain and France were divided equally.

The charts were handed over to the Netherlands.

Compensate Britain and Chu with 100,000 silver coins.

In this battle, Da Chu lost the most, obviously contributed the most, but gained the least, and both times he was at the leader level.

But the new hegemon France has spoken, and Da Chu has to hold back if he is unhappy.

Britain was also miserable enough, both wars were in the vanguard, and as a result, they did not get colonies, and the straits were jointly managed, which did not benefit him much.

So, two thankless countries began to come together.

Chu Ying carried out all-round cooperation.

The loneliest two hegemonic powers, Spain, embarked on the road of colonizing the Americas, and they sold the charts to the East.

But he turned his attention to the new earth, the Americas across Europa.

When it develops, it will look for France to regain the title of hegemon in the Mediterranean.
