Chapter 865 says that the key amount of money earned is the so-called fish and bear's paw can not have both, when the tulip incident was in full swing, it was the beginning of 1634 AD, that is, the seventh year of Chongzhen, this year Quan Xu was actually not idle.The southward corps continued to enter the Red River Plain, and fought with the European combined fleets of fifteen countries, including Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France, in Luzon.This involved a lot of energy from Quan Xu, and as a result, he forgot about such a major event.In 1635, a tulip variety called childer was sold for 1615 florins.If you want to figure out what such a sum of money was worth in the Dutch economy in the early 17th century, all you need to know is that 4 bulls (equivalent to a trailer) cost 480 florins, and 1,000 pounds (about 454 kilograms) of cheese also cost 120 florins.However, the price of tulips continues to rise.The following year, a rare variety of tulips (there were only two in the Netherlands at the time) was sold for 4,600 florins, in addition to which the purchaser had to pay for a brand new carriage, two grey horses and a complete set of harness.The florin is a gold coin, and it is pure gold, each piece is equivalent to 2.5 grams, 1615 florins is equivalent to 4,000 and 37 grams of gold, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, the settlement method is the silver coin or florin, the silver coin weighs about 25 grams, the silver content is about 94.25 percent, the exchange ratio of the silver coin of the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch silver coin is 0.676 to one, which can be said to be the first financial crisis in history, and it is a man-made financial crisis similar to the Plaza Agreement.There is an obvious difference between the two, the Plaza Accord was strengthened by the beautiful country to Japan, in order to harvest Japan's wool, but behind the tulip incident, there are too many behind-the-scenes promoters, and the Jews are behind it.Although there was no detailed data on how much money the Netherlands had lost in the incident, many people had lost their money because of the high price of tulips, jumped into the river and committed suicide, and some people went from being rich to destitute overnight, begging on the streets.This abrupt descent from heaven to hell was a big blow to the Netherlands.The financial sector in the Netherlands is rapidly declining, and the business economy is beginning to decline.It's been almost a year now, and there's no way to regret it.In the evening, Quan Xu felt that the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas was not fragrant.A little remorseful for missing out......
Quan Xu's long sigh fell in Zhu Weiyuan's eyes, and he was a little puzzled.Miao entered the palace, silently, after all, she was a widow, Zhu Weiyuan gave her the title of a concubine, the queen has a book, a treasure and a seal, the concubine has a book, a seal but no treasure, and the concubine is only a book.The queen's book, seal, and treasure are made of gold, and the seals of the concubines are made of gold and silver, and the books of the concubines are made of silver.In Quan's harem, Zhu Weiyuan is the queen, the first in rank, followed by the concubine of Sanniang Tang, followed by the concubine of Erniang Xinyuan, Helena is just a beauty in the harem.Miao's concubine is actually two or three levels higher than Helena."
Concubine Li!""
The concubine is here!"
Zhu Weiyuan groaned: "Your Majesty sighed for a long time today, saying that he missed something, do you know what he missed?"
”Miao shook his head, his face full of doubts: "The concubine really doesn't know!"
”I don't know if I really don't know, or I don't want to say it, Zhu Weiyuan sighed, and then waved her hand and motioned for Miao to retreat.After the Miao family left, Zhu Weiyuan took a bowl of ginseng soup and went to the palace where Sanniang was.Sanniang gave birth to a daughter at the end of June, that is, the sixth child of the whole family, the fourth daughter of the emperor, named Quanjing Tian, who was born a little less than a month, and very thin, only three catties and seven taels.Sanniang is now taking care of Xiao Jingtian.Zhu Weiyuan came to find Sanniang, just to learn about Quan Xu's affairs in Jiangnan through Sanniang, the shadow guard has always been in the hands of Sanniang, and even the queen can't accurately grasp Quan Xu's every move.Of course, Sanniang is an exception, she can clearly know that Quan Xu will do anything.Regarding Zhu Weiyuan's good intentions, Quan Xu could only smile bitterly.Quan Xu also ignored Zhu Weiyuan's small actions, he was looking at the report in Xinhua Province, after more than three years of immigration, the population of Xinhua Province in South America exceeded five million, and one city after another rose from the ground, of course, these have nothing to do with the indigenous people of South America.All the place names of the Ming Dynasty in Xinhua Province are Chinese character place names, according to the ancient naming principle, the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang, and the north of the mountain is the yang.Highway after road has been built, town after town is connected, law and order are stable, and the economy is booming.Guyana, which lives next to Xinhua Province, whether it is France, England, the Netherlands, Spain or Portugal, is indeed a testament to the incompetence of the Europas.In fact, they are not to blame, how many people are there in Portugal?
Xinhua Province has more than 5 million immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, which has no impact on the Ming Dynasty, but for the Portuguese, let alone 5 million immigrants, 500,000 immigrants, they do not have such a population.Speaking of the Netherlands, the Netherlands only seceded from the Spanish Empire in 1648, let alone developing their colonies.In terms of colonial development, France, Portugal, and Spain will fully reimburse the immigration expenses of new immigrants, and will provide certain living subsidies to new immigrants, and even allow new immigrants to occupy farms at will.However, whether it is the Portuguese or the French, they have no interest in enclosure, on the contrary, they prefer to dig gold and silver mines, and then copper and iron mines, so to speak, all the people of the world together have deep feelings for the land without the Chinese.The development of Xinhua Province, in general, was along the border towards the interior, and almost all the cities were built along the border, and it was precisely because of the problem of comparison that the Europa people were relatively incompetent.So at present, around Xinhua Province, colonies and Indians of various countries are relying on the big tree of the Ming Dynasty, which has expanded at least 100 times more than Xinhua Province's port in Shenlufu, and the original maximum performance of seven or eight ships can dock at one time, but now it can dock seven or eight hundred ships at the same time.From Xinhua Province, a large amount of grain can be transported to the mainland every year, at least 10 million stone of grain can fill the grain shortage, and at the same time, 8 or 9 million stone of grain will be shipped to Europe and sold to Spain, Venice and the Holy Roman Empire to meet the needs of the European battlefield.In short, everything is developing in the expected direction, Xinhua Province wants to report the construction of a railway in Xinhua Province, Quan Xu refuses without thinking about it, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter for the time being.Although the transportation efficiency of the railway is far greater than that of road transportation, the problem is that the local railway network of Daming has not yet been completed, and it is still released for the time being.As for the iron ore and copper ore found in Xinhua Province, then use the canal to dig it, and the canal will temporarily solve this transportation problem.I slept in a daze all night, and early the next morning, after Quan Xu finished washing, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Chen Ying for a long time, and when he thought of Chen Ying, Quan Xu couldn't help but want to scold.As the king of a country, he can't consider the question, is Chen Ying, a fat man who was born as a businessman, not prescient?
Besides, economic war, financial war, he played with the Jiangnan gentry so many times, did he forget?
Quan Xu ordered to summon Chen Ying, but Chen Ying did not dare to stop him.Quan Xu summoned Chen Ying in the imperial study, and when he saw Chen Ying again, Quan Xu almost didn't recognize it, at this time, Chen Ying didn't say that he was thin like a bolt of lightning, at least he lost weight to the standard of a normal person, about one hundred and thirty-four pounds, almost half of the original."
Congratulations, you've lost weight!"
Quan Xu sneered: "Don't tell me, you've been losing weight all this time!"
”"Nope!"
Chen Ying looked at the tulips on the table of Quan Xu, and said with a faint smile: "The minister hasn't had time to congratulate Your Majesty yet!"
”"Where does the joy come from?"
Chen Ying pointed to the tulips on the table and smiled, "Didn't Your Majesty know?"
”"Got it......"
Quan Xu reacted instantly: "How much money did you get from the Netherlands?"
”"Not much!"
Chen Ying sighed: "Those grandsons are too damaged, they smashed the plate without saying hello, I was so angry that I was almost cheat......ed by them" It turned out that as early as four years ago, Helena saw the value of tulips, but the Republic of Venice City-State is a small and widowed people, and it is powerless to plant tulips, but Da Ming is different and has natural advantages.Because Daming was in the Xiaoice period, the weather was cold, and the entire north was a cold temperate climate suitable for tulip cultivation, but at that time, because Quanxu was mainly focused on food production, there was little interest in this matter.However, Cheng Jingxian, who had just entered the political arena at that time, just found that Helena and Quan Xu had a good personal relationship, purely taking thousands of acres of land, and more than 1,000 tenant farmers played with Helena.For Cheng Jingxian, the great thing is to spend thousands of taels of silver, which can make Helena happy, and the money is worth it, and as a result, the tulips produced in the first year were made into tulip perfume by Ming craftsmen, and this product has been invented and caused a sensation in Europe.It is even better to sell than cosmetics such as body lotion, facial cleanser, and whitening cream that Quanxu got in later generations, and the value is higher.Chen Ying was still serving as the chairman of the Hetao Parliamentary Office, where there was too much grain to be transported, and there were a large number of farmers and land, so Chen Ying took over this work and planted more than 600,000 acres of tulips in Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, Ordos and other places in one go.These tulips were printed as futures tickets and appeared in the futures trading markets of Europe and the Netherlands, as a big seller, the futures of the tulips were bundled with other Ming commodities and sold, and soon squeezed into the futures market of the Dutch.Quan Xu waved his hand: "Talk about the point......
How much money was earned!
”"Not much, less than 80 million ......"
