Chapter 873 Cultivating a daughter to be the queen of Beijing City has changed a lot, and the economic development is dominated by light industry, especially clothing, jewelry, carpentry, handicrafts, etc., in later generations, Italian luxury goods swept the country.In this time and space, it is precisely the other way around, and the best place where Daming's luxury goods are sold is not the Netherlands, not Venice, nor Spain.It is precisely the Holy Roman Empire, some people say that the Holy Roman Empire is neither sacred nor powerful, but the luxury of the Ming Dynasty is the Holy Roman Empire.The best four-wheeled carriages of the Ming Dynasty must have been made of rubber, carved by hand, and the seats were springs and other furs, but the four-wheeled carriages transported to the Holy Roman Empire were made of light stainless steel, dazzling, but light, dexterous, and used a lot of gold and silver ornaments, which was such a nondescript thing.A four-wheeled carriage is not a horse, selling for 20,000 taels of silver is still in short supply, this kind of four-wheeled carriage known as the duke's carriage, to the fanatical pursuit, this time the Holy Roman Empire bought fifty-five duke's carriages at one time, and the Ottoman Empire, which fought with the Ming Dynasty, bought fifty in one go.The Holy Roman Empire was rich, the Ottoman Empire was also rich, or their nobles were really rich, in addition to the duke's carriage and the high-end porcelain of the Ming Dynasty were also very valuable, and the Holy Roman officials who were responsible for purchasing goods purchased high-end porcelain worth two million taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty in one go, and silk and brocade worth five million taels of silver.These money are counted in the cost of weapons, plus the duke's carriage, this purchase cost has increased by more than eight million taels of silver, as one of the business partners of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Holy Roman Empire explain that the price of weapons purchased by the Holy Maro Empire will be so expensive, it is not within the scope of Quanxu's consideration, it seems that the official in charge of procurement of the Holy Maro Roman Empire is what kind of prince, people spend their own money, Quan Xu can't care.According to the current trend, Beijing and Fengtai County are about to border, which is equivalent to the expansion of the urban area to the south for more than 30 miles.It is equivalent to the area of Beijing city expanded nearly ten times, of course, the outer city is like Jinzhou, there is no city wall, the original city wall has not been knocked down, in addition to the smooth cement pavement, solid cement building houses, water conservancy is the top priority, Beijing, Tianjin vigorously build reservoirs, dig irrigation wells, dig canals, go all out to ensure agricultural water.The largest project is the Miyun Reservoir, Quan Xu ordered to cut off the river in the upper reaches to build a huge reservoir, so big that the flood once in a hundred years can not be washed away, flood can be prevented, drought can open the gate to release water, this project has been warmly supported by the people, everyone has money to contribute and contribute, busy in full swing.The first phase of the project is nearing the end, the second phase of the project is being intensively prepared, it is estimated that at most ten years, this great project will be completed and put into use.Coming to Beijing again, the changes in urban construction are secondary, the key is the spirit of the people in Beijing, there have been obvious changes, with the rise of commerce and economy in Beijing, it is relatively easy to find more jobs, although the more you go to the inner city, the Forbidden City, the more expensive the housing prices, the higher the cost of living.But the more you are in the suburbs of the city, the easier it is to find a job, the lower the cost of living, and the clothes on the people's bodies have become more varied.Of course, encouraging people to consume is also a means to stimulate domestic demand, whether it is adults or children, their faces are very ruddy, rare dishes.The most unbelievable thing for Helena is that in such a big city, with a population of more than one million, she can't see a single beggar, that's right, there are no beggars in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the hands and feet are complete, begging for a living is a crime.If you can't find a job, there is no problem, the court will help you find a job and guarantee your income, but where to go is not something that you can decide personally.In addition, as long as the children of each family have no job and eat idle meals at home, the aunt of the neighborhood committee will come to the door to do the work herself.For the sake of national immigration construction, in order to support the frontier, let's migrate.Of course, there are also those who are naughty and mischievous, who do not study well in the compulsory secondary school education stage, and who want to eat and wait for death, will also be forcibly relocated......
Helena sat in Quanxu's carriage, looking at the bustling streets, cars coming and going, and said with some emotion: "It's good to be so energetic, it's good to have such a strong vitality!"
”"We've never lacked energy, just leaders with brains."
Many of the rules and laws of the Ming Dynasty seem a bit anti-human, for example, the government does not prohibit prostitution, but it will be heavily taxed, two-thirds of the legal income will be taxed, and if tax avoidance or tax evasion will be quite serious, so that if you want to drink flower wine and sleep in the willow lanes of the smoke street, the cost will be higher than that of the Zhu Ming period.In addition, it doesn't matter if you scold the officials, scold the martyrs or soldiers, deprive them of power and treatment, and be in a ten-year labor camp, starting with a distribution of 10,000 miles......
It doesn't matter if you can't keep your mouth shut, the law will let you keep your mouth in check, how to learn how to speak.These laws have made many old scholars suffer, and have also added a lot of fresh blood to immigrants in the border areas.There is also waste, which will also be punished severely, for example, if you go to a restaurant to eat, and the leftovers exceed two taels, divided by ten times the fine, whether it is alcohol or snacks, this is also included.In recent years, the development of traditional Chinese medicine has also been very rapid, mainly due to the increase in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although the beasts are a huge threat to humans, but for traditional Chinese medicine, these beasts are really full of treasures.Take the crocodile with the largest number of swamps in Indochina as an example, crocodile skin is certainly the best raw material for making all kinds of luxury accessories, crocodile meat, bones, internal organs, blood, and even crocodile whips are of great value.For the treatment of these beasts, there is now a perfect process, crocodile skin must be peeled off and sent back to Beijing City to be processed into a variety of luxury jewelry, crocodile meat and bones to be sent to Jinzhou or Dengzhou to be processed into canned crocodiles, become a delicacy on people's tables, and finally internal organs and blood to be sent to Beijing City Pharmaceutical Company to be processed into various medicines and health products, this piece of profit is still very rich.Chinese medicine has long paid attention to the role of crocodiles, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: resorb, the main treatment of skin diseases and sores.Here "Ray".It's the crocodile.Leaving the two capitals and thirteen provinces, many places in the Ming Dynasty are where humans and beasts compete for living space, for example, in the current Tianshan Province, caravans are still very dangerous, mainly because the number of wolves has increased, which has a certain threat to humans.Of course, whether it is a tiger or a wild wolf, it is not within the scope of protection, and now many places in Daming do not need to engage in breeding, especially in the Indochina Peninsula and South America, and it is simply the biggest joke to engage in breeding.Helena came to the Forbidden City and was warmly received by Zhu Weiyuan.However, Sanniang still habitually had a friendly exchange between China and the West with Helena, but because Sanniang took care of Panorama Tian during this time, her efforts fell.Helena didn't take too much advantage of this exchange.After all, seeing Sanniang fall behind, the three little guys of Panjingmu, Panjingyang, and Panoraran went together, and Helena was not easy to hurt the child, but was made disgraced.After learning of Helena's intention, Sanniang became interested: "Xianggong, don't alarm the Government Council, right?"
Pick up those Europans, and don't need them to ......
"valley < /span&gt; Helena's eyes lit up, and she remembered that Sanniang still had a powerful army in her hands.That's right, the women's army in Sanniang's hands is just a pocket army for Quan Xu, but for Helena, this is a very powerful force, Sanniang now has forty-seven captured Galen ships, which are about 800 to 600 tons, one hundred and fifty-five European medium-sized ships, which are about 200 to 400 tons, plus auxiliary warships, more than 200 ships.These warships are all European warships captured in the Daming Sea, and the Royal Navy doesn't look down on these rags, these rags are under the command of Sanniang, and the shadow guard is Quan Xu's close guard.The Women's Army is a real army, although they have little actual combat experience, and occasionally pull it out to fight the pirates.But the problem is that the current European navies are no different from pirates at all.When Sanniang heard that Helena had 200,000 gold coins, her eyes lit up: "Xianggong, the whole of Europe is besieging Venice?"
It's so hateful, don't they know that Venice is a friend of the Ming Dynasty?
What's that......
What's the ......
It also depends on the host!
”Helena automatically ignored Sanniang's speech disease, and didn't care about being said to be a dog, as long as Venice could survive, it would not be a problem for Helena to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.And she still has a handwritten letter from the consul of the Republic of Venice in her hand, as long as Da Ming agrees to send troops, the Republic of Venice is willing to undertake all conditions, including being a vassal.Two thousand years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to establish the national prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, pulled the countries of the Western Regions into the alliance against the Xiongnu, and did not hesitate to make two expeditions to Dawan, losing tens of thousands of troops, the cost was extremely high, but the benefits were amazing, and the countries in the Western Regions became the servants of the Han Dynasty in the following hundreds of years.
Under the orders of the Han Dynasty, they frantically besieged every grassland regime hostile to the Han Dynasty, and this is how the Xiongnu were besieged and beaten to death.Many history books, or those Wen Nu poured dirty water on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that they would not hesitate to go on an expedition for a few horses, which is simply a joke.Peaceful rise is always just a joke, a false proposition.The rise of the Netherlands is stepping on the corpse of the Spanish Empire, and the rise of England is also stepping on the bones of the Dutch, as for what race, skin color, it is all a joke.In the Boer War in South Africa, the other side was a white race of Dutch descent, and the British were also pressed to the ground and rubbed.It is not difficult to imagine that if it were not for those two tragic expeditions, no matter how much money the Han spent on diplomacy, it would not have such an effect, and the prestige of the country is so expensive, and like life, it is difficult to get it back once it is lost.Of course, there are many people who are spitting out the Wanli Korean War, but the problem is that from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, this battle cannot be fought, if there is no Wanli Korean War, the Ming Dynasty will be in a more difficult situation when it reaches the Chongzhen period, and it will face a joint attack by the Manchu Qing and Japan.According to Quan Xu's understanding over the years, Europe is now the most active region in the world, groups of Europeans set sail to the sea, with their endless energy to stir the seven seas, colonize everywhere, coincidentally, the Ming also intends to colonize everywhere, conflict is inevitable.What's more, in the Indian War, Europa had already torn its face with the Ming Dynasty, and in the East India War, the Netherlands and the Ming Dynasty were only one step away from declaring war.The Ming Dynasty is an outsider to Europe, and it is unreasonable that the Ming Dynasty does not have a spokesperson for interests in this region.Venice is a potential spokesperson for interests, and now the Europeans plan to kill this spokesperson for interests, if the Ming Dynasty sits idly by, I am afraid that no European country will dare to develop such a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty again.There is another important reason, that is, the current Netherlands, Spain, as well as the United Kingdom and France, which faintly catch up with the first two, are extremely barbaric and aggressive, and now their strength is still relatively weak, and they are not conspicuous, and when their strength is strong enough, they will definitely overthrow the Netherlands and Spain, and set off a bloody storm in the world......
I'm afraid that even Da Ming will not be able to escape their clutches!
Instead of sitting back and watching them develop and grow, it is better to strike first and nip them in the bud and never suffer in the future.Sanniang is willing to go on the expedition to help Helena and earn a sum of money casually, you must know that he has two daughters and needs a large dowry, but according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, although Quan Xu's money is said, it belongs to his son in name.Even if Quan Xu can decide to give Quanjing Ran and Quanjing Tian a dowry, the problem is that Sanniang doesn't want it, she wants to earn a dowry for her daughter.Quan Xu gave Helena's daughter two territories the size of Guide Mansion, and Sanniang also had to train her daughter to be the queen.Sanniang decided to go on the expedition, but Quan Xu couldn't persuade him.This also persuades wool, just hit.Before the fight, Sanniang was already gearing up, pointing to the map and saying: "This place is good, living next to the Nile!"
”"It's all black Africans......"
"Black people are so disgusting!"
Sanniang groaned: "Just kill the light!"
”Thinking of this, Sanniang picked up the panoramic sweet and gently kissed her little face: "Good daughter, you have to be obedient at home, you have worked hard for your mother, and you will save a lot of dowry for you, and you can be the queen in the future!"
”Jeon Wook let out a long sigh.In this family, there is no one who is worry-free.His thoughts have not yet been spoken.Panorama Mu jumped in front of Sanniang: "Sanniangniang, I'm going too, I want to be the Lion King." ”
