People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 358 Business invades Nanyang countries! Get initial results! !

The entire Southeast Asian country is now in a state of carnival because everyone has discovered it.

No matter what it is, as long as it is collected, it can be sold to the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, no one took the local specialties that grew in worthless fields seriously and even threw them on the ground casually.

But it is different now. Even such a thing can be sold to the Ming Dynasty as long as it is collected.

Anything you can use, drink, or eat is fine.

Where can I find such a thing?

This kind of thing cannot even be dreamed of.

But now it has been realized in the Ming Dynasty.

The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty are parked at the dock, just waiting for you to load the goods into their cabins, and then you can get a lot of Ming Dynasty treasure money.

So they decided to organize a group of accomplished scholars after they returned to come here to teach people from various Southeast Asian countries how to speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

It turns out that many business people cannot understand Ming Dynasty Mandarin, but these poor second-hand translators who understand Ming Dynasty Mandarin are also very popular.

Because after learning the Ming Dynasty Mandarin, you can make a lot of money just by translating for those doing business.

There were even some dedicated businessmen who had gone to Ming Dynasty to do business and started to work as translators.

Even though those people themselves were poor in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, they were very popular.

The merchants of Annan saw business opportunities, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty also saw business opportunities.

In these three months, the Ming naval base in Annan, the Ming trade distribution center in Champa, and the Ming naval base in Siam have never stopped.

After this kind of training school was opened, the number of people who signed up was filled within one day.

So some people in Annan Kingdom saw business opportunities.

With the Ming Dynasty Baoqian, you can buy anything in your country.

This time, these translations instantly promoted an industry - learning Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

These people are very smart. They started to contact people from the Ming Dynasty who came here to do business, and discussed with them whether they could introduce some gentlemen who could come here to speak in Ming Dynasty Mandarin. The fee could be very high.

So a business was immediately promoted, Ming Mandarin teaching and training.

Anyway, being idle at home is idle, and you can still earn such high fees after coming here.

I can earn money every day that I couldn’t earn in the past year or two.

They all want to go back quickly and gather a large number of graduates who have completed their studies, so that they can come here for training courses.

Not to mention that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were jealous, everyone would be jealous after hearing this.

I never dared to think that I could exchange a few pieces of paper for something, but now I can.

Ming traders did not expect that they could make so much money by teaching them how to speak.

They make a lot of money from the registration fees they receive.

In the midst of prosperity, three months passed quietly.

The flow is endless every day, and it becomes more and more prosperous in the future, making all countries jealous.

What are you jealous of?
Jealous of these three countries planning ahead.

At first, all the countries in Southeast Asia were mocking Annan.

It is said that this Annan Kingdom is really spineless.

It kept saying that it was the most powerful country in Southeast Asia, but it fell to its knees under the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

Let the Ming Dynasty build a base belonging to the Ming Navy on their land.

Isn't this just giving the land to others?

It's humiliating.

It is very humiliating to let the land go out no matter what time it is.

Everyone thought this method was too humble, and secretly it was a bit of a mockery.

Many countries are even thinking about this. Since the Ming Navy has helped the Southeast Asian countries drive away those pirates, there is no need to use the Ming Navy anymore.

The Ming Navy did not get the desired results in various countries in Southeast Asia, so it may have withdrawn on its own. Then it would be impossible to worry about the territory of one's own country, there would not be any Ming naval base built, and one would be able to enjoy the convenience while mocking the current Annan Kingdom.

But what they didn't expect was.

In just six months, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

The twenty-eighth year of Hongwu came quietly.

But in the Southeast Asian countries, except for those three countries, everyone is holding back a fire.

What kind of fire are you holding?
It turns out that their country's caravan encountered some trouble.

……

A checkpoint at the border between Annan Kingdom and a certain country.

The defense of this place was not strict at first, and people from the two countries often crossed the border to do business or make a living in the other country.

But things are different now.

The Annan State on the border was heavily guarded and had a port opened.

What are these ports used for?
Are they strictly checking the caravans coming and going?
Why do we need to conduct strict inspections? Because we have to collect taxes.

This was not done before because there were not many businessmen walking this mountain road before, or rather less.

But things are different now. The endless stream of horse-drawn carriages has turned the entire area into a wide four-lane road.

The carriages coming and going forced a path on the edge of the swamp.

No wonder Mr. Lu Xun said that there is no road in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.

At the junction of Annan Kingdom, there is a very obvious confirmation.

At this time, there was actually a long queue on this road that was originally a remote no-man's land and rarely traveled by people.

What's even more surprising is that there are actually people starting a small business nearby.

Especially food and drink, as well as shoe repairmen, shoe sellers, carriage wheel repairers, and even carriage rental businesses.

The place itself is not lively, but within the past few months, it has formed a large trading center, equivalent to a market.

For people from surrounding villages, the nearest one is more than twenty miles away.

But this place has become such a small town.

Caravans who come from other countries to stay here can only live here because it takes time to cross the border. Sometimes they even have to wait ten and a half months to cross the border.

Temporary wooden houses, tents, etc. became their place of residence.

But it’s not free, you have to pay.

The local people also make a lot of money from the port.

Some families have made almost as much money in these three months as would be impossible to make in a lifetime.

And the soldiers of Annan Kingdom also made a lot of money.

Although they did not make things difficult for the caravans passing by, it was enough for each caravan to pay twenty pence for tolls.

And just like that, each of the soldiers stationed in the local area received a large reward.

The reason why they didn't make things difficult for those caravans was because they didn't need to.

Because there are so many, so much that you don’t even need to make things difficult, and you can make a lot of money.

They also understand the principle of long-flowing water and must not let the caravans passing by the port be frightened, otherwise there will be no business to do.

Therefore, the caravan will only complain that there are too many people and have to wait to pass the customs, but will not complain about being made things difficult for them.

This is the convenience brought by the business economy.

All because there is so much that all needs can be met without having to eat or drink.

There are as many as one or two thousand caravans coming in and out of this port every day. Just collecting the tolls from these caravans amounts to 20,000 copper coins and several hundred taels of silver a day.

This is something I couldn't imagine before...
