Chapter 306 You Shun Are You Also Matching Porcelain Hanwu?

Liu Yu slowly opened his eyes that were about to fall asleep, thinking that this was tantamount to talking nonsense.

If internal reforms can be made, with a quarter of the world's population and the strongest handicraft productivity on earth, it is true that as long as internal solutions are resolved, the world will be invincible.

The problem is that it can't be done.

We can only go the wrong way, start from the outside, start a new stove, and cultivate a group of "martial arts" maritime merchants, rather than a group of merchants who sell goods on the ground.Dare to risk [-]% of the death rate to play sailing, dare to have the courage of Ban Chao to destroy the country in thirty or so people.

Cultivate morality, cultivate morality, how to cultivate?If you cultivate morality, you can build a North American pressure relief valve for the industrial revolution, a market that can accommodate the industrialization of a province, and a steam engine if you can cultivate morality, you can do whatever you want.

Let’s not talk about other things now, let’s just talk about Jiangsu Province. If the initial industrialization is completed, where in the world can we find such a big market?

At that time, if you don’t go out and stay at home, small farmers go bankrupt, refugees are everywhere, and 5000 to [-] million people die, who has such great ability to bear it?
If it weren’t for the pressure relief valve in America, what the UK did would have blown up long ago; if it wasn’t for the Indian market and a little bit of industry, France, Holland and Prussia are all mercantilism and high tariffs, just wait for the involution.

But these things can’t be talked about, and they can’t understand them even if they talk about them. These things are heretical views of the imperial court. Even if the Celestial Dynasty wants to change, it can only find rationality from the pile of old papers, instead of talking about some completely incompatible political economics .

The Master's book is not political economy, but moral ethics.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and moral standards depend on productivity and production relations.With the economic foundation of the West, who would be interested in this set except France, which has a lot of small farmers at this time?

Besides, why do these classics compete with the bottom-line Catholicism?

In my own family like Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian, there are almost no pants left. Some people rely on the bottom line to fight against clan power and husband power. It can't be compared to the standard nest.The White Horse Temple was built in Luoyang.

I thought in my heart that I would change my image in the future, not to be so sharp, so I suppressed the anger in my heart and kept silent.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

The emperor didn't make a sound when he saw Liu Yu, and actually mentioned it on his own initiative.

"Eagle Sobo, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Hearing the emperor's call, Liu Yu cursed inwardly, what do you want me to say about this?
It was agreed to fight Nanyang, but this matter cannot be said now, and those who know this matter are sealed and must not be leaked.

If you don't fight Nanyang, diplomacy is really useless.

Obviously, the emperor also knew in his heart that if he didn't talk about Nanyang, he would definitely not be able to argue the truth.Thinking of Liu Yu's cleverness, and knowing that Liu Yu could not have missed the matter of fighting Nanyang, he thought of letting Liu Yu come out to keep out the wind.

The emperor called him, but he had no choice but to stand up.

"I just heard about Hanwu, and I couldn't help but think of another thing. If we say that this dynasty is like the Hanwu era, it is better to say that Britain, the Netherlands and other countries are like the Hanwu era."

"Speaking of Han Wu, I think of one person."

Just now a group of people called him Zhang Qian and Ban Chao, but Liu Yu didn't say anything.At this time, the old events of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were mentioned again, and the emperor and courtiers became curious.

"Who is it?"

"Sang Hongyang."

"Ok?"

The emperor was dumbfounded, and the ministers were also dumbfounded, wondering what is Tisang Hongyang doing?
Those with big brains, who had seen how Liu Yu dared to say anything because of his youth in the court before, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought: Tisang Hongyang, could it be...

Liu Yu quietly took out some silk silks with various numbers recorded from his sleeve, and glanced at them.

"Your Majesty, Sang Hongyang's salt and iron franchise is because Emperor Wu has the capital to open the frontier. When you look at the Western system, there are many methods of Sang Hongyang."

"Such as the franchise of the East India Company, other than this, it is not allowed to be privately owned. If there is a privately owned company, it will be seized and killed. Is this the strategy of Sang Hong Yang's salt and iron monopoly?"

"His sanghongyang strategy has made his country earn millions every year, so he can open up borders and expand land."

"Looking back at this dynasty, how can there be a trace of the appearance of Hanwu? This dynasty is still far away from Hanwu."

"I asked someone to collect the cargo volume of western countries in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong customs before. It is very interesting. Please read it."

After the emperor's permission, Liu Yu read out the statistics he entrusted to Tian Ping.

"Take Taixing 14 years as an example."

"In the 14th year of Taixing, the customs of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and the goods brought by Western ships are as follows."

"Tea, England, Guyana, 5437 tans; Denmark, 7980 tans; Sweden, 3280 tans; France, 3320 tans; Netherlands, 5681 tans. The rest of the Portuguese went to Macau, which is irrelevant; the Spaniards have never been counted. They are not included in the account. It doesn’t count if it’s smuggled or smuggled.”

"Porcelain, counted in boxes, a box weighs about 500 catties, and there are about 500 pieces."

"Total: England, 320 cases; France, 150 cases; Denmark, 260 cases; Sweden, who had no order to fire porcelain, but took 80 cases; the Netherlands, 180 cases. Portugal and the West don't know, and smuggling is useless."

"Silk...silk...rhubarb..."

After reading the clear statistical data of the customs, Liu Yu said again: "Not counting porcelain, silk, silk, cloth, rhubarb, etc., only tea."

"Britain, France, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Netherlands, totaling 25700 dan. Western Portugal has a total of 5000 dan, about 30000 dan."

"A load of one hundred catties, the worst Wuyi tea in one catty, can earn 2 taels of silver in Europa, and pay an additional tax of 3 taels of silver. If the total is five jins of silver, then the net income of one load is 50 taels."

"For tea alone, with Sang Hongyang's method, Western countries can get nearly 200 million taels of silver."

"Porcelain, silk, rhubarb, etc. are not counted. Qi Guogong went to Europe and passed through Luocha. After thinking about it, he knew that the rhubarb of Luocha is also an official franchise, and private sales are not allowed."

"The rest of the porcelain, silk, etc. are considered to be equal to tea, so Westerners can earn nearly ten million years old by using the method of Sang Hongyang."

"This is a special product of the Celestial Dynasty. Let me talk about the spice monopoly of the Dutch in Nanyang. It is also the method of Sang Hongyang, which is privately operated. The local Javanese beheaded, beheaded, and cracked; "

"I didn't get any of the past few years, but I have a copy of the first year of Taixing. Something happened in Europe before that year. There was something wrong with the Nanhai Chamber of Commerce. It involved too much. That year accounts are public."

"Among them, cloves are 80 catties. The price of cloves in those years was 4 Dutch guilders per catty, and a guild was about 8 kuai silver. In the local area, if the salt is in the place of production, it will be transported to the Netherlands for ten times the profit, and the profit will be 200 million. two."

"Nutmeg, 30 catties. The price per catty is 2 florins, which is about two gold coins, and two silver taels. The profit is 2 taels."

"Pepper, pepper is cheap, about 10 catties can earn a tael of silver. But the quantity is a lot. The Netherlands transported a total of 770 million catties of pepper in the first year of Taixing. The profit was 80 taels."

"Such things as sucrose, sumac, etc. are not counted. Westerners like coffee now, and Southeast Asian countries have begun to grow coffee, which is about one million taels per year."

"The trade with Japan is to get goods from the Celestial Dynasty and re-export them to Japan, with an annual profit of about 80 taels."

"For the Persian trade, there have been incidents in Persia in the past few years, so it has been greatly reduced, but it is still nearly a million taels."

"In the 14 years of Chongzhen in the previous dynasty, the total amount was reported once, equivalent to 4800 million pounds in assets, equivalent to 5000 million taels of treasury silver. The profit of the year was about 2500%. After deducting warships, artillery, garrisons, etc., the annual income was about [-] million. two."

"Afterwards, although Japan locked the country, Persia went to war, Britain and France smuggled spices, Portugal's Brazilian lilac wood split spices, sugar prices fell, etc., the annual income was still more than 1500 million taels."

"This is just a Dutch country. Relying on Sang Hongyang's technique and monopolizing franchises, the annual income is more than 1500 million taels. The company owes 9000 million pounds in debt, which is about 7000 million taels of silver."

"This dynasty...how can I compare it with Han Wu?"

"That's why I say that these adults often use the ancient times to satirize the present, and say that Han, Wuhan and Wu are not as good as Yinghe when compared with Han and Wu. They don't even have the skill of Sang Hongyang. Can it compare to Hanwu?"

"I think Benchao is obviously Wenjing."

After talking about this set of data, Liu Yu thought to himself that you are a Dashun and you deserve to touch porcelain and Hanwu?Yinghe, who knows how to play Sang Hongyang's technique better than you?

Sang Hongyang played with salt and iron, and co-authored it into spices, sucrose, coffee, tea, silk and porcelain, isn’t it?
I dare not say anything else. British private merchant ships dare to cross the Cape of Good Hope. They are really going to be sunk and confiscated. The company is six and the royal family is four. It is not easy to find the king.

If a group of people such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Sang Hongyang were in power, with this population, this trade competitiveness, this handicraft industry, and this foreign market, if they didn’t generate [-] million yuan a year, they would be ashamed to sin against themselves. edict.

Where do you people have such a big face, you are so embarrassed to touch the era of porcelain and Hanwu?As far as the diplomatic vision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed the Dutch to occupy Nanyang, there was no reaction at all?
But that's not what he meant to say.

There is something in this statement, people who understand it will naturally understand, those who don't understand think that Liu Yu is really arguing for "Han Wu" or "Wen Jing".

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has a bad reputation in history, at least not at this time, about the same as Qin Shihuang.In the eyes of literati, Wei Qing is a slave and Emperor Wu of Han is a tyrant.

But Wen Jing is much better.It would be even better if it was Song Renzong.

At this time, using the example of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, it is said that the Celestial Dynasty is far from the policy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so there is no need to worry at all, but this is not what I want to say.

The few people in the court who knew that Liu Yu was going to attack Nanyang knew that this set of data was for the emperor.

For he spoke neither of England nor of France, but of Holland.

This is clearly trying to lure the emperor, telling the emperor how profitable it is to go to Nanyang.

Afraid of competing with the people for profit?It's okay, anyway, people can't get out of Malacca, and they can't get the spices monopolized by the Dutch.

Not counting sugar and coffee, only spices, and only spices sold to Europe, this is nearly 700 million taels, the data is detailed and clear, this is not sold, what are you waiting for?

Liu Yu's heart is like a mirror, how can there be any monarch and ministers to rule together?Since Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, whether it is the cabinet or the Tianyou Hall, everything is the secretariat.

The emperor is carried on the shoulders of the emperor and the prime minister.The emperor does not go to court, and the cabinet handles political affairs. It is only the secretary's power and responsibility to act as the leader.

The settings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also the same.In the end, it was the emperor who had the final say.

It just depends on how much the emperor is willing to pay for it-the degree of being scolded.

At the beginning, Liu Yu said that Nanyang was worth a few taxes in Henan Province, but now he has clearly reported the data to the emperor. As long as the emperor's brain is not bad, he should know that this matter has to be done.

To do it, we have to set up a foreign ministry, because Liu Yu said that the Anglo-Dutch alliance, that the Netherlands has 60 warships... and that the Dutch East India Company now owes 9000 million pounds in debt.

To put it in a better way, this is a time of weakness, and it can be decided in one fell swoop to make friends with France and avoid Britain's participation in the war.

At worst, being in debt is also a skill.Your Dashun treasury owes 7000 million taels of silver to try?It is enough to go to zero, and the debts are so large that they have not been crossed, which shows that they are strong. If they do not use the power of France to "use the barbarians to control the barbarians", it may be difficult to achieve.

The emperor knew it when he heard the strings, and he thought to himself that you are a slippery man. This is for me to hear. As for Han Wu or Wen Jing, it is not nonsense.

If I have the idea of ​​monopolizing foreign trade, it is competing with the people for profit; if I seize Nanyang, it is not for the benefit of the people. As long as I don't monopolize it in my own country, there will be less criticism.

At that time, some domestic funds will be reserved, and some households will be allocated to the government, and this mouth will be blocked.Is this what you mean by making new cakes and distinguishing old ones?
Thinking of this, and looking at Liu Yu again, he thought that this guy had really grown up.I thought that today's court meeting would utter wild words again, like a mad dog biting everywhere. It seems that this person who is going to get married will have someone who cares about him in the future. With more things on his back, he is indeed stable and honest.

That's good, I'm not afraid that you are capable, but I'm afraid that you don't care much.
