Chapter 866 "Eighty million shields?
”Quan Xu thought to himself, one guilder, that is, two-fifths of a horse sword silver coin, about ten grams of silver, equivalent to more than 20 million taels of silver, this is not a small amount.Chen Ying's eyes turned into a crescent moon: "No, Your Majesty might as well guess?"
”"It won't be 80 million taels of silver, right?""
Not so much!"
Chen Ying looked at Quan Xu a little anxious, and he no longer looked sloppy, and said directly: "It's 80 million Flores!"
”"I'll go ......"
Quan Xu was stunned for a moment.Sure enough, no business comes as fast as a robbery, it comes quickly.80 million froll, equivalent to 5.4 million taels of gold, because Quan Xu is constantly eating gold, resulting in the depreciation of the price of silver, the current exchange ratio of silver price to gold price from the original 1 to 8, to 1 to 12, 5.4 million taels of gold is equivalent to 64.8 million taels of silver.Hearing that Chen Ying got back so much money from the Netherlands, Quan Xu's mood instantly improved.The key is that this sum of money is not operated by the state, but by Quan Xu's private own, which means that Quan Xu instantly increased 6,480 taels of silver.Even if it is due to the rise in prices, the cost of building a Sea Shark warship has nearly doubled compared to a few years ago, and this huge amount of money can allow Quanxu to build another 550 Sea Shark warships, or more than 1,300 Exocet warships, or build about six or seven thousand kilometers of railways.Just when Quan Xu was about to pull Chen Ying to have breakfast together, Shen Mingze, the prime minister, came later.His purpose is actually to keep an eye on this money.Although Quan Xu is the emperor of the Ming Empire, theoretically the entire Ming Dynasty is Quan Xu's private property, but in fact it is not like that.In recent years, Quanxu has invested in the construction of Lushun Shipyard, Dengzhou Shipyard, Jinzhou Railway Factory, Jinzhou Iron and Steel Group, Liaodong Industrial Group, and the construction of schools, roads, railways, ports, and wharves, and has invested no less than hundreds of millions of dollars and silver.Now the imperial government wants to take away the management with a piece of paper, and it is even impossible to think about it.Of course, if the Ming government is willing to take over the debts of these enterprises and railways and highways, Quanxu is willing to take over.This is the benefit of the RAND Bank, all the time, all the investment of Quanxu is carried out through the Quanji Bank, that is, the investment of Quanxu is in the form of loans, from the Quanji Bank to various companies, so now the actual debt of each company is not low, especially the gun production plant, because the left hand is the right hand, Quanxu in the pricing, the basic principle is the production cost, plus the management cost, plus the transportation cost.In addition to a small amount of taxes, basically the profitability of these enterprises is not very good, the railway company is losing money, the debt owed by the train factory manufacturing plant is more than 30 million taels of silver, if the government is willing to bear this debt, then Quanxu really doesn't care, with this 30 million loan, Quanxu can also build another train factory.Shen Mingze looked at Quan Xu and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you are really far-sighted, you thought of today ten years ago!"
”In fact, Shen Mingze really wronged Quan Xu, Quan Xu just wanted to manage internally and exercise his management team, and he really didn't think so far, Quan Xu didn't even think about being the emperor, if it wasn't for Li Xin forcing him, he would rather be a powerful minister, until Chongzhen couldn't tolerate him, he went to Australia or the Americas to build a country, and became the king of the mountain behind closed doors.In fact, during this period of time, there have also been ministers who want to take over a series of factories under the Gun Bureau, which can not only produce rifles, machine guns, bullets, but also mortars, large-caliber naval guns and even warships, and now even steam engine ships are also being explored.Every time these issues are discussed, they only need to throw out the debt problem, and everyone will find that the companies under Quanxu's name are not only not fat, but also hot potatoes.Don't look at the many enterprises under the name of Quanxu, accounting for nearly one-third of Daming's industrial output value, but in fact, Quanxu's profit stream is not high.The profiteering canneries, textile mills, and steel mills were basically sold by Quanxu, and the most profitable ones were not these large enterprises, but some luxury goods production factories.For example, the perfume, the women's workshop and the royal carriage factory, a four-wheeled carriage, Quan Xu can earn three or four thousand taels of silver, and after expanding the scale of production four times, he can earn five or six million taels of silver a year."
Our ancestors warned us a long time ago that people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries."
Quan Xu still attributes the credit to the profound traditional culture.Quan Xu is now engaged in cultural export, except for the Ottoman Empire and the Womor Empire, other countries do not use war to solve the problem, but rely on cultural export.Now in Europe, there is an active group of donors and brokers, who take the benefits of the Ming Empire to search for high-quality talents like Descartes Marin Mason everywhere in Europe for the Ming Empire, and at the same time, they will also collect the nobles and guide them to the Ming Empire to stay.By staying in the Ming Empire, they cultivated the values of goodwill for the Ming Empire.The most valuable thing left by the ancestors of white people to future generations is the Bible, so when white people carry out colonial expansion, they have a sword in one hand and the Bible in the other.The traditional culture of the East is open and inclusive, and the sea is tolerant of all rivers.Quanxu also has an open and tolerant attitude towards the education of the Ming Dynasty, and many Chinese classics will be translated into Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and English, which is conducive to the spread of Chinese culture.Of course, the translated text is estimated to not be able to accurately express the ideas that the ancient sages wanted to convey, so if you want to truly understand the traditional oriental culture, you still need to read the original version in Chinese, so that you can understand it accurately.Similarly, the history books of various countries will also be pulled to Daming for translation.Almost all of them have already opened sub-foreign language classes, and this course is completely different from the English classes in later generations, which is mandatory, and it is only a professional study as a major.The English universal education of later generations is just a scum, and it is of no use at all.Of course, the universities that offer foreign language teaching are only set up in the mainland, and are limited to the original two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and are not included in the Far East, Hanhai Province, Tianshan Province, including Anxi Province and Xijiang Province.In the border provinces, unified education is implemented.Although on the whole, the total population of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty accounts for about 95 percent, but it is not intended to change to this status quo.After all, because of the proliferation of weapons in the Ming Dynasty, it has caused an increasingly serious social security problem, but Quan Xu's attitude is still very tough, he does not plan to ban weapons, but it is strictly forbidden for ordinary people to hold rifles or heavy machine guns.The weapons that the people are allowed to possess include knives, guns, firearms, flintlock pistols, lightning guns, shotguns, and revolvers, in fact, at close range, shotguns and pistols are more powerful than rifles, and they are more convenient to use, and ordinary people do not need rifles to protect their personal and property safety at all, so the control of weapons in the Ming Empire will be further strengthened in the future.For private and private gun manufacturers, Quanxu is only monitoring, not restricting, just like the Thunderbolt used by maritime merchants with a firing range of 120 paces, a caliber of 26 mm, and can fire 28 rounds in a row, in fact, there is already a prototype of a machine gun.There is not much else in Daming, but there are many talents.Although there is still no breakthrough in the internal combustion engine, the human-powered aircraft has successfully flown and can fly about 450 meters, which is a bicycle driving the propeller.Although in Quan Xu's view, the significance of this progress is limited, but what makes Quan Xu feel gratifying is that the people of Daming finally have someone who cares about the material problem, this kind of aircraft is made of silk and bamboo strips bonded with fish glue, and the weight is only sixty-two kilograms.The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are in the Ming Dynasty, they are mighty and civilized, but outside the Ming Dynasty, they are definitely the murderous name of children.In the Nile Delta, on a land of 24,000 square kilometers, only one regiment of the Ming Army is stationed, with less than 2,000 people.All kinds of newspapers and magazines in the Ming Dynasty hype up the humanitarian crisis in the Nile Delta every day, and at the same time face the grim situation in North Africa, in the final analysis, it is still for the political service, to create a weak image for the Ming Dynasty that is controlled everywhere, to further enhance internal cohesion, and to cooperate with North Africa for integration.The soldiers of the Ming
