Chapter 346: Solving a case and making money
Although Jiang Feng's voice was low, the meaning inside was naked. After hearing this, Liu Shunhua suddenly shook all over. Although the weather was still warm, he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't help but stop and looked at his son-in-law carefully. When he first met Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was still a small Jinyiwei guard guarding the streets and schools. Then, this brave young man who knew nothing about anything hooked up with his daughter.
He showed him the forces that should be attached to in the court without any scruples, and then both sides began to jump three times, one person made a fortune in the capital, and the other person had a prosperous career in the officialdom.
Then both of them left the capital. At that time, he was still quite unwilling. He was already a third-rank official in the local area, but his daughter was snatched away by a brave family as his wife. Then Jiang Feng was promoted in a dazzling manner and quickly climbed to a position similar to his.
But now, just three years later, the young man said to him with a smile on the land of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty:
“The future is unlimited…”
What kind of power is that a young man who was just a small Jinyiwei five years ago actually covets the entire Ming Dynasty today. Liu Shunhua's mind was in chaos, but he was still supported by Jiang Feng with a smile and moved forward unconsciously...
The noise around Liu Shunhua woke up from his dull memories. Incheon Port is like a mule and horse market in Shandong, which is very lively. However, the purchase and sale here is not horses, but slaves. White people from Spain and Portugal and Chinese from South China, bringing a large number of native people from South China.
The merchants of the Beijing Merchants bargained loudly there, and the manor owners in the south of Java and Malacca were also represented here, and they corrected their own slave market at any time. What was even more surprising was that a small number of black people appeared on the market.
The price of black slaves sold in Africa in the Americas was still different from that in the East. After the news came back from Luzon, the Ming Dynasty needed a large number of slaves, and the entire European and slave trade-related countries were in full swing. Although there was no problem of trade surplus deficit at that time, the gold and silver plundered in the Americas were always replaced with ceramics and silk in the East, so they urgently needed some commodities to balance the trade.
But now the Ming Dynasty is an all-encompassing world, and he lacks nothing. Now this thing has finally been found - slaves, they lack slaves. And according to the news sent back by Levier, the governor of Luzon in Spain, the owners of the East needed a large number of slaves, but the natives in the South Ocean, like the Indians in the Americas, were unable to adapt to the labor of the manor at all.
After conquering America, the Spanish wanted to use Indians as agricultural laborers, but found that these Indians could not adapt to mature agricultural production at all. The natives in the South Ocean also had similar situations. They lived in tropical rainforests with superior natural environment. Their cultivation often threw seeds into the land and then waited for the harvest. How could such people compare with farmers in East Asia and Europe?
On the contrary, blacks are quite suitable for this job, and some simple tests have proved this. The blacks' work efficiency is five times better than the same Indians.
After Levi's trafficking in native people several times, he had a clear understanding of the Incheon market. In Incheon, a Korean slave is three times more expensive than a Nanyang slave. The governor, who was praised by the Spanish Kingdom, wisely analyzed that after a black man appeared in the manor, he would definitely have a better price and earn a lot of money for the kingdom.
Of course, there is another sign this time that was ignored by the Governor. In the Incheon market, a few Japanese merchants began to appear. The wars of Daming people often had fierce battles for one day, with more than 10,000 people killed or injured only 200. The war was exhausted and the people were damaged. Afterwards, the peasants and soldiers who participated in the war also needed to farm and fight. The so-called income was just a harvest of some food in the autumn.
Although Japan was in war, the merchants' sea trade did not stop, but became more prosperous. The prosperity of sea trade naturally brought about a well-informed message. Many people know that there is an extremely prosperous market in Incheon, and the amount of transactions every day is quite huge.
Now on the sea surface of Asia, Jiang Feng and Deng Liao and Xu Qi have extremely large maritime power, and it is no longer realistic to harass the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Under Jiang Feng's firm control, North Korea is under the world of Chinese merchants and Spanish people. The places where they can make up their minds are almost clean.
However, there are also so-called blind spots. One is Ryukyu, which has a population of hundreds of thousands, but now the pirates in Japan are still beyond the reach. The other is the so-called soldiers of the enemy country. Japan's current Honshu, Kyushu, and hundreds of princes from all over the four countries are attacking each other.
In every battle, there will always be a large number of prisoners. These prisoners were used to be helplessly put back or killed. Now this is relatively simple and can be sold. The price of Japanese farmers is much higher than that of the natives in South China. If they sell them, farmers can earn cash through the price difference, and they can also use slaves to cultivate the conquered land and collect more food. This is a happy deal.
At first, the daimyos in Kyushu commissioned merchants to conduct transactions, but more and more Japanese daimyos began to know about this and joined in one after another.
Liu Shunhua watched this lively transaction along the way and felt a little nauseous. Although there were people in the capital and various cities in the Ming Dynasty, all disguises were removed and people were nakedly traded as animals. The dealers shouted loudly, saying that they brought the quality and quality of the slaves they brought to attract customers.
Jiang Feng was surrounded by guards and clearing the field. The merchants on both sides respectfully saluted Jiang Feng, who was walking in the middle of the road. Liu Shunhua saw that there was no discomfort on the faces of the people around him, and obviously he was used to such a situation.
If you use the port to Jiangfeng's residence, it will probably take a long time to walk. The Jiang family army is not short of money, and even more carriages. However, leading Liu Shunhua around like this also made Jiang Feng's father-in-law familiar with the Jiang family army and the strength of the Jiang family army. After walking for a while, there was no longer a smoky market in front of him, but a rather neat house and courtyard. It looked no different from the places where the wealthy people in the capital or Jiangsu and Zhejiang were living together. Western-style buildings can occasionally be seen between these houses.
After coming here, Liu Shunhua felt that he was refreshed. Jiang Feng next to him acted as an instructor and said:
"Now, most of the merchants on the sea have built houses here. Not only the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, but also the Westerners and Japanese!"
Seeing that Liu Shunhua didn't know much about it, Jiang Feng continued to say there:
"From the sea mouth of Nurkandus to Malacca, if you don't hang the flag of my Jiang family on the ship, don't pass by the sea. Now the bulk business of the Ming Dynasty and Japan is discussed and negotiated in Incheon..."
When Liu Shunhua heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath. The Ming Dynasty forbidden seas, but as the governor of Zhejiang, he still knew how much money he could get on the sea boat. Many families in Zhejiang were already amazingly rich. He also took a lot of money from various common money by relying on the sea business. Now Jiang Feng actually said that the merchants on the entire sea had to pay the silver here, which was such an amazing amount.
Liu Shunhua suddenly felt that his mind was not enough. So many people around him followed him, obviously he could not seem too careless. Suddenly, he saw a few people riding horses in front of him. These horse riders obviously saw Jiang Feng and his group, and the guards in front quickly signaled to leave.
Liu Shunhua, who was there, saw this, his eyes lit up and said in praise:
"What a magical horse, is this the legendary BMW horse?"
When the people around him heard this, they laughed. Except for Hequ horses, they were all short Mongolian horses. They rarely saw such tall and stout horses. At that time, the families of officials and wealthy people in Ming Dynasty paid the most attention to famous horses, so Liu Shunhua also knew some of this kind of knowledge. Jiang Feng there explained with a smile:
"This is a horse bought from the Franchise machine for a lot of money. Now it has been raised in Jeju. If my father-in-law likes it, the son-in-law will choose the one he has to give it to him!"
The soldiers training in Incheon Neibao, the warships and craftsmen workshops in the military port, and the full granary. Liu Shunhua was almost pulled by Jiang Feng to see these places one by one. It turned out that the anger and fear in his heart gradually disappeared. When he saw the granary, Liu Shunhua felt quite tired. At this time, Jiang Feng also achieved his goal and did not force him. He told that Liu Shunhua had already been a prepared mansion, and Liu Fangrui had been waiting there for a long time. The father and daughter had not met for so long, so there was naturally a touching scene.
At night, Jiang Feng had a banquet for senior civil and military officials of the Jiang family army and civil and military officials, which was to welcome Liu Shunhua. After a brief rest and chatting with his daughter, the following time was Zhao Xiucai and Su Guanyue to explain to him the various systems and arrangements of the Jiang family army in North Korea.
Looking at the smiling faces, Liu Shunhua responded with a decent smile, and he couldn't see the anger at the port at all. He was thinking:
