Four hundred and ninetieth galleon trade
King Hendry of Luzon was a carefully selected hedonist. At present, he only needs to be obedient and enjoy it. Nothing else matters.
When Hendry dies, a second and third Hendry will appear. Xiao Ruxun will make a random decision. If you want to seal it, you will be abolished and abolished. You cannot give him a bond to his family, otherwise he will inevitably have a strange intention.
Hendry himself knew his situation very well. He was originally a poor man who wanted to serve in Luzon in danger of wealth and honor. Now he was lucky to have become a king of Luzon who had no worries about food and clothing. His life was quite luxurious, which he dared not think of before.
There are dozens of beautiful women with exotic charm, singing every night, and they have long been overjoyed.
I don’t want anything, just like a dreamy and wonderful life now, I just want to enjoy it, I just want to have such a paradise.
Hendry is a very realistic realist hedgehog. He came here just to have more money and women in the future. As for making achievements?
Sorry, I can't think so far.
Being able to enjoy the life of the king, the treatment of the king, and the status of the king are something that I dare not imagine. As for who will manage this country
Not important, not at all.
His guards were carefully selected from the guards around Xiao Ruxun, and asked the missionaries to teach them to speak Spanish in a short time. Everything Hendry had come into contact with was Ming people. Except for his "concubines" around him, they were all Ming people. From all aspects of life, such as the Ming Dynasty, they were all handled by the Ming people.
Under such an arrangement, Hendry was a very well-behaved Luzon king until his death.
In this way, the "Prince of Luzon" is under great pressure and requires strong ability to deal with the matter here, maintain stability, maintain income, and maintain balance between indigenous and Spanish missionaries.
Xiao Ruxun asked the missionaries to divide them into two parts, one of which continued to promote teachings in the tribes of good people and indigenous people, and one of which followed him back to Myanmar to prepare to attack the indigenous people in Myanmar.
The Prime Minister of Luzon could control at most three thousand troops. He had to divide some of the troops to explore and discover other islands in the south, and search for more and more abundant minerals, and even launched wars at any time, because once he encountered resistance indigenous people, he would be arrested and used as slaves.
Xiao Ruxun even had the idea of doing the slave trade.
There are too many slaves captured, and sometimes it is not a good thing. There are about two to three million people in the Philippines now. It is impossible for them to cooperate with him. There are definitely one third. It is better to count as one-third, more than one million, more than one million people. Do you need so many slaves? Can you afford it?
Besides, there are still 20 to 3 million natives in Myanmar. Most of them will be slaves at that time. A small part of them will be used for their own use. Most of them will be burdens. It would be a pity to kill them and they can be sold.
At this moment, Europeans were playing triangular trade, reaching agreements with African tribal chiefs and kings of kings to exchange money and firearms for these black slaves, and then sell them to America, which requires population, in exchange for a large amount of profits. The profits directly promoted the development of countries such as Spain and Britain.
The current excessive slave population forced Xiao Ruxun to consider the possibility of slave trade. He found some Spanish people and asked them about their country's trade actions in the Americas, and learned some details of the sailing trade.
Xiao Ruxun began to imagine that he could completely replace the Spanish in trading from Manila to Mexico and Latin America.
The Spanish set out from Manila and carried enough Chinese and Japanese goods to the Mexican and Latin American markets to sell them in exchange for high profits, while expanding trade and continuing to buy luxury goods from China.
A large amount of silver they plundered from the Americas flowed into China, which led to Zhang Juzheng's silver standard reform and laid a solid foundation for China's later use of silver as currency. This is an opportunity to obtain a large amount of silver. Instead of finding intermediary agents, it is better to do it yourself.
And unlike the Spanish, the Spanish need a large number of indigenous people to work for them, and what China does not lack the most is population.
Xiao Ruxun was worried that there was no place to free up a lot of free land to settle the Chinese. Such a good thing fell from the sky, and millions of indigenous people in the Philippines and Myanmar instantly changed from burden to treasure.
He did not want this kind of primitive accumulation of capital to be monopolized by Europe. Such a great opportunity, an opportunity without moral condemnation, an opportunity without even law prohibition or even legal support, an era in the mainstream of the world, if it is not involved, it is stupid.
Xiao Ruxun could not think of any reason to not participate.
Only trading luxury goods with Europe can certainly open up the European market, but just the European market cannot satisfy it. Since it can still open up the American market, why not do it?
Spain is now at the end of its strength. In Europe, there are restraining hostility between Britain, France and the Netherlands, internally there are unstable factors of the Portuguese, and in Asia, there are sudden forces here to expel Xiao Ruxun. The shortcomings of their lack of foundation are fully visible. As for the current Spaniards, Xiao Ruxun is not afraid at all.
I will accept the market share of America without hesitation.
Xiao Ruxun sent away the surrendered Spaniards and began to formulate a new plan for the large sailing trade.
We must not only seize market share in Europe, but also in the Americas, completely defeat Spain's power and replace China's power.
There are still many little-known inside stories about this big sailing trade. As a country lacking gold, silver and other metals, China has been able to achieve the silver standard, and trade during this period is really important.
By the time of the 1680s, Chinese silk had threatened the sales of Spanish products in the Americas. In the early 17th century, Mexicans wore silk more than cotton cloth. By 1637, Mexico's silk weaving industry used Ming Dynasty silk as raw materials, and local Mexican silk was basically eliminated.
Peru, which is close to Mexico, is also a huge market for the Ming Dynasty silk, which in Peru was only one-third of the price of Spanish products.
The Ming Dynasty silk not only spread in the American market, seized the sales of Spanish silk in the Americas, but even bypassed most of the earth and sold to Spain, where it directly destroyed Spanish silk production.
The Ming Dynasty sold high-quality and low-priced goods overseas to seize the local trade share of other countries, and could even destroy local production in Europe. If this kind of bug-like sales action is directly controlled by the Chinese, the destructive power of local commerce in other parts of the world will increase exponentially.
Xiao Ruxun also sighed a little. Once upon a time, our products were high-quality products recognized by the whole world, sold well all over the world, conquering cities and lands everywhere, and were unstoppable. To this day, poor quality is still a shameful label that Chinese domestic products are difficult to get rid of.
