Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1015: South Sea Storm (6)

"Boss, something is wrong!"

Trench mirror.

some where.

A thin young man frowned and pointed at the things in front of him, "We have been chasing them all the way from the southeast to Haojing. Xu Suxin and the others touch everything they see. It seems that they don't want to cause trouble in the southeast, but rather they seem to be planning something in Nanyang."

"These are the news that our brothers have gathered from various sources. All of them are closely related to the frequent maritime robberies in the waters of Luzon, Brunei, Phnom Penh, etc. After repeated screening and verification, we found that the ships that were robbed were all carrying cheap grain from Southeast Asia. It was the Duke of Wei who was far away in Dongfan who ordered a group of people to be responsible for this."

"If these grains are really not transported to Dongfan, Guangdong, and Nanzhili, it will affect the local order."

"There is also a guy named Liu Xiang who met with Xu Suxin and the others. After inquiring from all sides, it was found that this person has close contacts with the Dutch East India Company and has a large fleet under his command."

"What's even more interesting is that every time Liu Xiang meets Xu Suxin and the others, he will go to find a red-haired foreigner named James. On the surface, this person is a missionary, but after much investigation, it was found that he is actually a director of the Dutch East India Company."

"Yes, there is this thing!"

Having said this, the thin young man took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chuan, who was frowning. Seeing this, Zhao Chuan reached out to take it.

"I heard from those Western barbarians, as well as the Han merchants, Japanese merchants and other groups that docked here, what kind of stock is this?" said the thin young man with a frown.

"The Western barbarians are weird. They don't call the debts they lend to others debts, but stocks. They trick people into using real money to buy a few pieces of paper. After a few days of humble investigation, I think I have figured it out a little bit."

"This thing depends on whether the person selling the stock is good at talking or not. Then he can come up with something that can stimulate people, such as how much goods were sold from a certain place to a certain place in a few months, and how much gold and silver were earned. Then some people know about it and want to buy it. Then the holder can raise the price."

"Yes, the key is that even if the price is raised, there may not be anyone who will buy it. This is really unethical. They create an atmosphere that it is very valuable and then attract more people. When more people come, this thing has a quota, so the price will go up further."

"This is not like bonds, but more like silver stocks."

After hearing this, Zhao Chuan glanced at the stocks in his hand and then asked, "If I hold these stocks, can I get dividends by the end of the year?"

"Share your ass."

The thin young man sneered and said, "According to what those people said, if you hold the shares for a long time, you will get dividends after a certain number of years."

"The most direct scenario is that once the price of the stuff is driven up to a certain level, it will be sold by the holders, and then it will be snatched up."

"Here comes the interesting part. If there is any disturbance during this period, the stock price will drop immediately, and then the new holders will lose their shares. If they don't want to lose their shares, they can only lower the price to sell."

“Chasing the rise and selling the fall?”

Zhao Chuan frowned.

"Yeah."

The thin young man said excitedly, "That's what I mean. A boss is a boss after all. I have been thinking about how to describe it, but I can't think of anything. Hehe."

"Don't say that."

Zhao Chuan said, "Actually, while you were looking into this, I found something interesting."

Ok?
The thin young man restrained his smile and looked at Zhao Chuan with some confusion.

"Do you know why those Western barbarians tried every means to infiltrate Nanyang?" Zhao Chuan put the stocks in his arms, then took out a small package and looked at the thin young man. "Isn't it just to facilitate the development of maritime trade with our country?"

The thin young man said, "The porcelain, silk, tea and other products produced by our dynasty are being sought after and bid for by these ignorant guys. I have heard that the good things of our dynasty are priced at one price when they leave the sea, another price when they arrive in Southeast Asia, and another price when they are shipped out of Southeast Asia. Many people are using gold to buy them."

"You're only partly right."

Zhao Chuan opened the item in his hand. "Actually, they have other purposes. One is for spices. The price of these in our dynasty is not low. According to previous investigations in the southeast, some of the rampant smuggling in the past was spices, and the bulk of it was shipped from Southeast Asia to the European continent. Of course, they also sell them along the way."

"In addition, it was for the sake of land. Among them, missionaries were pioneers. In the name of missionary work, they got familiar with the national conditions, culture, customs, etc. along the way, and then came into contact with some people."

“That’s not it!!”

The thin young man suddenly widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"listen to me."

Zhao Chuan frowned and said, “In this process, after getting familiar with the people who have contacted first, they will compile some things further to go deeper into some places.”

"This will help to stir up some disputes in secret, which will inevitably lead to conflicts in places where there were conflicts but they were not intensified, and eventually turn into wars."

"During this process, some Western merchants will take the firearms and cannons they manufacture and sell them to provoke deeper conflicts. The terrible thing is that if there is gold and silver, it will be fine. If there is no gold and silver, they will have to exchange it with land."

"The key is that they don't want places far away, they want coastal land, especially land suitable for docking. Once they get it, they will build castles, station people there, and slowly gather people together."

"In addition, wherever they go, they secretly sell off a number of people. I used to wonder how they could do this so meticulously. Now that you mentioned stocks, I understand a little bit."

"This……"

The thin young man didn't know what to say for a moment.

This was beyond his knowledge.

"What happened in Haojing must be sent to the capital as soon as possible." Zhao Chuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty must be informed of this matter. There may be a big disturbance in Nanyang."

"What about Lord Wei?"

The thin young man said subconsciously.

“Also remind me.”

Zhao Chuan said, "You go to Dongfan in person and find Duke Wei. Tell him everything we have learned in recent days."

"What about Xu Suxin and the others..." The thin young man hesitated when he heard this. After all, he had been in charge of this matter. If he left and let these guys run away, wouldn't all his previous efforts be in vain?

"Don't worry about this."

Zhao Chuan waved his hand and said, "I will make arrangements. Perhaps we can solve a big case this time. If we do this well, the Luan Guard will surely make a great contribution!!"

"Here!"

The thin young man clasped his fists in response.
