Daming Military Empire

Chapter 371

After lunch, the two uncles and nephews hurriedly left. Zhu Youjian hurried back to the imperial study room. The printer can't finish the approval in one afternoon, and I don't know how long it will be busy at night.

Zhu Cijiong also returned to the study, but it was not the imperial study, but his own private study. At this time, Wang Zhengnan and Shi Weila had been waiting in the study for a long time.

After the two hurriedly greeted each other, Zhu Cijiong pulled out the map of South Asia, put it on the conference table, and then invited them to sit down, and the discussion started.

He first asked Wang Zhengnan, "Laixian, how many spies did Jinyiwei South Town Fusi plant in the Mughal Empire?"

Wang Zhengnan replied with a bit of shame: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is incompetent. In the past few years, there have been less than a hundred Jinyiwei spies who have penetrated into the Mughal Empire. Their language is really difficult to learn. This humble minister has this In terms of talents, basically all adjustments have passed."

Zhu Cijiong nodded approvingly and said, "It's pretty good to have someone from a hundred years old. If you can learn a language in a few years, you are a genius. By the way, the people there seem to be quite different from us in appearance. How do you solve this problem?" of?"

Wang Zhengnan replied in a professional tone: "There are many descendants of Turkic and Han mixed blood in the Mughal Empire. Except that their skin color is a little darker than ours, other differences are not big. Jin Yiwei has a special potion, as long as you soak it in the potion You can turn into a slightly dark complexion after taking a bath, and then put on the clothes over there, and you can’t see it if you put on a little disguise.”

Zhu Cijiong seemed very interested in this, and he asked: "How long will this potion last?"

Wang Zhengnan replied without hesitation: "If you don't wash it with a special medicine, you won't be able to return to the original skin color."

Zhu Cijiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he continued to ask: "Is this kind of potion hard to make?"

Wang Zhengnan thought for a while and replied: "It's not difficult to make, but the recipe is more complicated. Does the emperor need it?"

Zhu Cijiong slapped his hands and asked excitedly: "How long will it take to prepare 20 people?"

Wang Zhengnan roughly estimated, and replied carefully: "It will take about a month."

Zhu Cijiong immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, let's start preparing right away."

After that, he turned his head and asked with a smile in the tone of a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood: "Shivela, there is an opportunity to make money, do you want to participate?"

Isn’t this nonsense, Shivela is a money fanatic, how could this guy miss the opportunity to make money, he immediately asked with a shy face when he heard the words: “Your Majesty, is it true, how much money can you make?”

This guy, before asking what the opportunity is, he directly asked how much money he could make. The eagerness in his mood can be imagined. Zhu Cijiong continued to seduce: "Of course it is true. As for how much money you can make, it depends on how much money you can invest." Yes, at least double it."

When Shivela heard this, he trembled and said: "Turn, turn, double, at least, how many times can it be turned at most?"

Zhu Cijiong rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "That depends on your ability."

Shi Weila was already immersed in the dream of doubling his assets, and he didn't notice Zhu Cijiong's appearance at all. He said eagerly: "Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want, I will listen to you."

Zhu Cijiong then pointed to the map on the table and asked, "Do you think the Mughal Empire was rich?"

This guy really knows, he said greedily: "Yes, they have a lot of gold, they like to wear gold jewelry, many rich people use gold to make bowls, gold pots, even clothes made of gold, and lids made of gold." palace!"

Zhu Cijiong knew that Shivela was not talking nonsense, these were all true, and there were many news about this in later generations, but Zhu Cijiong couldn't remember exactly how much gold they had, so he couldn't help asking: "Then you know they How much gold is there?"

Shivela stretched out a hand without hesitation, and said excitedly: "They have at least 5000 million taels of gold!"

5000 million taels!gold!Now that the price ratio between gold and silver is about 20:2, doesn't that mean that the total value of their gold is almost equivalent to 5000 billion taels of silver, is it possible?Zhu Cijiong roughly estimated that one ton is equivalent to 8000 taels, and 2 million taels is equivalent to [-] tons. He has read the rankings of gold reserves in later generations, and the country that ranks first has about [-] tons of gold. According to statistics, the total amount of private gold in the Mughal Empire is more than twice that of the country's gold reserves, that is to say, there are at least [-] tons, and [-] tons is only equivalent to one-tenth of that of later generations. It may be true!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong was a little uneasy. He estimated in his mind that if he wanted to earn back the gold worth 20 billion taels of silver, how much money would he have to invest in purchasing the goods? One billion taels of silver, if they increase their prices by five times, they need to invest [-] million taels of silver, and if their prices increase by ten times, they only need to invest [-] million taels of silver.

It's certain to double it, it's possible to double it five times, it's possible to double it ten times, but it depends on luck, that is to say, to be on the safe side, you need to invest at least three or four billion taels of silver. Does he have so much money?It seems almost!Can he afford so much money?If the principal of the Daming Royal Nikko Bank's bank notes is included, he can take it out completely, but is it too risky to do so?
Just as he was frowning and thinking hard, Shivela couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, how do you earn this money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Cijiong gritted his teeth and starved to death the bold and the timid. He did it, and he said directly: "First invest a lot of money to transfer the goods in circulation in their country, especially the food, oil and salt that consumes extremely fast. All the necessities of life were bought out, which caused their prices to rise. Then, the United Spain suddenly cut off all supplies at the right time, and then cut off all the merchant ships from the Netherlands, Britain, France and the Mughal Empire, which caused their prices to skyrocket and caused chaos in the country. Then find an excuse to start a war with them. After this battle, what do you think the price will rise? When the time comes, you can bring the goods back and sell them slowly. How much money do you think you can make? "

Shi Weila was more and more excited at the beginning, but at the end, he was discouraged. When Zhu Cijiong finished speaking, he said disheartenedly: "Your Majesty, just fight and grab it directly, and it takes so much effort." what?"

Listening to his tone, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with him. If he is beaten and robbed directly, then it really has nothing to do with him, but why would Daming do this?

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, and said angrily: "Grab, grab, grab, you know how to grab, don't be so barbaric, okay, besides, when someone hits your house, what will you do, take out all the gold to show off Use your brains, they will definitely hide all the gold, how much can they grab by then?"

Shivira was still a little puzzled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but blurted out: "Then we can arrest them all, and they will be killed if we don't hand over the gold!"

Zhu Cijiong heard the words, slapped his forehead, and said helplessly: "I want them to surrender slowly, not desperately resist. Do you think they are natives? In such a big country with so many people, do you know how terrible it is to resist desperately?" ?”

When Shivela heard this, his old face blushed, and he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "I plan to start action next month, do you want to do it?"

If you don’t earn money, how can it be possible, Shi Weila nodded quickly and said: "Do it, do it, the emperor must take me!"
