In addition to the reward for the sailors who performed the mission, the gold, silver and commodities worth more than 10 million yuan of silver coins have been escorted into Beijing for storage, in addition, there are also the families of Xiyangfan, that is, women and children, who are still in Haojing because of the low value of their service, and they are still in Haojing.
Among the children, the men are castrated, and the women are all changed and sent to Beijing. ”Fang Congzhe then played again."
Women are rationed to the new Han people who have just been rescued and enslaved by the Western Fan, but it is also possible, now there are many fewer Western Fan, and the population also needs to be increased, so that the business can be restored, as for the children, the boy can not be sent to the inner house after castration, give the clan, the eunuch of the inner court of the Ming Dynasty will be in charge of the power of the center in the future, and in the future, can not let a foreign person become a great master of the inner court, and the girl will be raised in the Jiaofang Division after being sent to Beijing, and also teach its Chinese Confucianism, and then sell!""
As for the merchant ships, they will be auctioned by the newly established Harbour Master of the Ministry of Industry, and the commodities will be sold to the comprehensive stores controlled by the East Factory and the Jinyi Wei City Shipping Division, and the gold and silver will be put into storage, and the part will be used as the silver for this year's civil and military officials.""
After the Western trade between Taiwan and Haojing was captured, their previous trade between Goa, Manila, Batavia, and the Wa Kingdom and our Ming Dynasty could not be interrupted, which was the key to the empire's foreign trade revenue, and the expansion of the trade scale of the city shipping division, the market shipping division raised shares in the private sector, and used capital to immediately replace the trade function between these places, and immediately sent representatives to contact the Western governors of Goa, Manila, Batavia, and other places, asking for continued trade."
Zhu Youxiao commanded.After hearing this, Fang Congzhe had no opinion on the emperor's first two instructions, but for the third, that is, the continuation of trade with the Western Fan, he had to ask one more question: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what if the Western Fan in Manila, Batavia, and Goa asks us to release the Western Fan who was forcibly enslaved by us under our request to resume trade?"
”"It's not just my Daming who needs to restore trade, the Western people in these places need these trades even more, otherwise they come thousands of miles to colonize these places for, so he is not qualified to refuse to trade with us, I ask to resume trade with them, not that Daming needs their trade, but Daming's gift to them, in addition, the privy envoy will mobilize sailors to cruise to these places, if they don't resume trade, they will resume trade!"
Zhu Youxiao replied.He knew that in the current world, as long as the people inside the Ming Dynasty did not mess around, it would be difficult for any force outside to stop any will of the Ming Empire.It is now August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.According to the original history, this time has begun to enter the era of Zhu Youzhen.But Zhu Youxiao was pleased that it was still the era when he, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was in power.The Dongyu in the northeast is already in the stage of lingering.Although Lin Dan Khan in the north has always had the ambition to unify Mongolia, it has not yet been completely completed, and it has not yet posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty.The domestic reform has been completed to the point where the officials and gentry pay the grain in one piece, and only the commercial tax reform remains.Now he has enough strength and energy to protect and compete for the maritime interests of the Ming Dynasty in the south.…… Goa.The Portuguese and Indian governor Castro found that Goa had not returned for a long time, which made him suspicious, and he had to appoint Pesso, the commander of the Sino-Japanese trade fleet, to lead the warship to Haojing.However, before Pesso's departure, the newly established merchant ship of the Great Ming Haojing City first arrived at Goa, the residence of the Portuguese and Indian governors.Although sailing at sea in this era requires exploring the route in advance to avoid touching the reef or encountering hurricanes, now that the Ming Dynasty has caught a lot of Western Oceans, it is natural to find a few Western Oceans who are familiar with the route from Goa to Haojing.It was easy for the warships of the Ming Navy Division and the merchant ships of the City Ship Division to come to Goa."
You Mingren want to trade with us?"
When Castro saw that the city boss had come to envoy Fang Yuegong, and heard Fang Yuegong say that he wanted Goa to allow Ming merchant ships to trade in this place and sign a trade agreement, he felt a little uncomfortable.Although the Goa region is a Portuguese colony in India, there is no so-called international trade here, just a trading center and commodity processing center for the Portuguese merchant ships themselves.In this era, global trade was still relatively primitive, and it was still a direct way to grab, whether it was land or merchant ships.Only when you don't have an absolute advantage will you trade with it obediently.The Netherlands took Manraka, which originally belonged to Portugal, that is, today's Malacca, directly in their own hands, instead of obediently paying money to the Portuguese, and then came to China to trade with Japan.Therefore, now the Ming Dynasty calls them barbarians, not to belittle them.However, the Ming Dynasty is different from these Western countries.Daming is the most civilized and productive country in the world today.Now, what Daming needs most is the market and raw materials, and it needs to dump the goods.The Ming needed to resume trade.Therefore, Da Ming is not so primitive and rough at the moment.Castro was not opposed to trading with the Ming Dynasty, but he was reluctant to let the Ming merchant ships play a trading role.A merchant ship goes to China or Japan, and the goods brought back to Goa can be exchanged for several times the profit.And this profit has always been earned by the Portuguese.Now, if the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty are responsible for transporting their goods to Goa, it will undoubtedly mean that this profit will be earned by the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty."
We do not welcome your merchant ships to come to Goa for trade, this is only a concentration of our Portuguese merchant ships."
Castro replied."
You should think about it again, don't provoke my Majesty the Ming Emperor to be angry."
Fang Yuegong replied."
Your Majesty the Emperor should understand that the route from Goa to Haojing belongs to us, and your presence here now is already infringing on our interests, and out of respect for His Majesty the Emperor, we hope that your fleet will return as soon as possible."
Castro remains tough."
Aren't you worried that my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will refuse to trade with you because of this?"
Fang Yuegong threatened."
Naturally worried, but this is not a wise decision, your emperor should not do this, your country is rich in products, and cheap and high-quality, if it is not used for trading, it will cause great losses to your country, otherwise your envoy will not come to talk to us, we implore your country to take a step back and allow our merchant ships to continue to trade with your country, we are willing to abide by all the laws of your country."
Castro knew that the Ming Kingdom was not an Eastern Empire to be messed with, and they did not get any benefits from the Battle of Tuen Mun Island and the Battle of Xicao Wan, which forced them to contact the Ming officials in a more peaceful way, and now, he also had to ask the Ming Empire to back down in a more polite way and not to seize the trade route from Haojing to Goa.
