Daming One Piece

Chapter 206 Cooperation brings benefits to both (first update, please subscribe)
"As we all know, my lord, we in Spain have never had any ambitions for Daming. Even if it is trade, we only hope to buy the goods we need from Daming. We all exchange them with real money."

No ambition?

Really do not have?

Shi Yiwen didn't even want to expose Valdes, it's not that the Spaniards don't have it, it's because they don't have that strength!

But on the other hand, it is true that among Daming's many overseas trade partners, the Spaniards are indeed "good partners", at least to a certain extent.

In fact, the commercial reputation of Spain in this era is obvious to all.Why?Because the family has enough circulation goods.

Starting from the opening of new routes, especially the discovery of silver mines in Peru, at the end of the 16th century, Spain obtained 83% of the world's total gold and silver mining, and every year several tons of gold, dozens of tons or even hundreds of tons of silver were shipped back from the Americas, but The gold and silver left in the country accounted for only 5% of the total returned.At the same time, the amount of gold and silver stored throughout Europe was about five times what it was in 1492.This is a worldwide wealth migration, but the ultimate beneficiaries are not Spain and Portugal, which make the most money, but England, the Netherlands and other countries.

It is true that Spain has the largest silver mine in the world, but he just passed it by. After all, most of the commodities consumed in Spain are provided by countries such as Britain, France and the Netherlands. As for the commodities consumed in the American colonies, more than 90% are also provided by Britain, France and the Netherlands. Provided by other countries.

In the past hundred years, this worldwide "Great Migration of Wealth" has added China. After all, obtaining spices and Chinese goods is the driving force for Europeans to open up new routes.Whether it is high-quality and cheap cotton cloth or expensive silk, porcelain and lacquerware, they are all highly sought after by European countries. In the past hundred years, China has long been a silver-swallowing beast in the world, with a steady stream of silver. This kind of long-term trade deficit between European countries and China has been jokingly called "commercial tribute" by some scholars.

Although all European countries trade with Ming Dynasty, among these countries, the ones with the least commercial ambitions and the cheapest payers are the Spaniards!After all, the galleon routes in the Pacific Ocean come to fashion silver and return to load goods.

Seeing that the adult did not refute himself, Wades continued,
"My lord, the reason why we opened a commercial port in Manila is to attract merchants from your country to trade. We use silver to buy your goods and then ship them back to New Spain. This is extremely beneficial to both of us, but The Dutch are different. The reason why they occupy Daguan is to prevent Ming merchants from entering Manila and then monopolize the trade. Just like the Portuguese, they take advantage of the distance to buy goods from Ming Dynasty and then resell them. To other countries in order to obtain profits. In fact, these profits belong to Daming, they are like vampires, entrenched around Daming to absorb the wealth of Daming..."

Although Wades is not a businessman, he knows the purpose of this dispatch of troops-to break the Dutch "trade blockade" against Spain.

In fact, for Spain, territory is completely meaningless. After all, they already own almost the entire New World. What do they need?It's gold, it's silver.

Historically, they even planned to abandon Manila because of the cost of occupation. However, in the end, the sailing route changed everything. The Spaniards used galleons across the Pacific to sell a steady stream of Chinese goods to New Spain and other New World colonies. While crowding out businessmen from countries such as Britain and the Netherlands, it also further opened up the Chinese commodity market.

Perhaps, as colonists, the Spaniards were brutal, but as Ming's trading partner, Spain was definitely the best partner!

The Spaniards drove the Indians to mine silver, and then transported it to Manila, where it was exchanged for goods such as cotton cloth, silk, porcelain, and mercury from Ming merchants, and then transported back to the colony.Moreover, they have no ambition to develop "import substitution" at all, and of course they are not like the Dutch and English, who wish to do business at the door of China, just to reduce their own procurement costs.

In such a comparison, Spain is simply a simple little sheep!

With such a best partner, how can we not cooperate!
"Indeed, in the past two years, the Netherlands has made progress and monopolized trade, which has already made me very dissatisfied. However, on the other hand, if we have to consider another issue, if we regain the big staff, then it is bound to be with the Netherlands. A full-scale conflict broke out, and the Dutch fleet is rampant in Southeast Asia. They may have lost a large number of people, but they will definitely continue to attack Ming's merchant ships."

Shi Yiwen inadvertently dug a hole for the opponent.

"Your Excellency, your fleet is definitely the most powerful fleet in Asia!"

Wades said bluntly.

"Your fleet must be able to protect your fleet for trade."

"And this means that my fleet sailed to Southeast Asia to fight the Dutch, and the expedition was too risky!"

Shi Yiwen refused directly.

"But they occupy your land!"

Wades couldn't help complaining in his heart, you are treating them differently, why do you only fight Spain and not the Dutch!
"The land must be taken back, but not necessarily right now."

"Then I don't know when your Excellency will wait?"

Valdes doesn't want to wait. After all, the Dutch-controlled officials have seriously affected the interests of Spain. The maintenance of the Philippine colony depends entirely on the entrepot trade with Ming. If there is no Ming merchant, the Philippine colony that cannot make ends meet will also There is no value and necessity for existence anymore, and the Governor-General of New Spain must definitely remove the Philippine colony.

"At least……"

After thinking about it, Shi Yiwen said.

"At least we need to establish several suitable commercial ports in Southeast Asia. Daming's fleet can protect its ships on the spot, and the fleet that is attacked can also withdraw to its own port nearby!"

"That's it……"

Wades said without thinking.

"It's very simple. There are many unclaimed lands in Southeast Asia. As long as you want, you can open up several ports at any time..."

As soon as the words came to his lips, Wades realized that this question did not seem to be that simple. There are some things that do not need to be taught. As long as Daming is willing, they can open up colonies in Southeast Asia at any time.

Suddenly, Wades's eyes lit up, and he said tentatively.

"Maybe, we can cooperate more extensively!"
