Daming Military Empire

Chapter 412
After harvesting the land, the next step is to harvest gold and silver. This time, Zhu Cijiong made a lot of money. In less than a year, he invested almost [-] million taels of real gold and silver in the Mughal Empire to buy various Material, now he is a negative man instead of a rich man.

The four companies under him do not have so many gold and silver reserves at all, and almost half of them use the principal of dragon coins. There is not so much gold and silver to buy the issued dragon coins.

Of course, with such a stable situation in Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for there to be a run on Dragon Coins in a short period of time. On the contrary, the issuance of Dragon Coins is in a period of rapid growth. Ten thousand taels has risen to a terrifying 2000 million taels, that is to say, the accumulated principal of Guanglong coins is almost 5000 million taels!
According to this momentum, in another year, the circulation of dragon coins will exceed one billion taels. Three to four billion taels of real gold and silver are thrown down. In this era, few countries really can afford it.

Of course, the money does not belong to him personally, it can only be borrowed for a while, and he will have to make it up in the end. The extent to which his personal assets can be expanded depends on the harvest of this shearing operation.

In fact, before this, he had obtained two incomes. The 3000 million taels of real gold and silver on the treasure ship of the Dutch East India Company had already been transported back to Daming, and the army of the East Road pushed the Royal Xinglong Company of Ming Dynasty along the way and followed behind. Nearly 2000 million taels of profit, of course, these are not enough.

The third and fourth incomes will come soon. After occupying Batavia and Delhi, Ma Xianglin and Lu Xiangsheng agreed to control the treasury of the Dutch East India Company and the treasury of the Mughal Empire. In fact, these two places were not difficult to find. After a lot of threats and torture, they found them quickly.

There is nothing surprising about the vaults of the Dutch East India Company, because their scale is so large, and the money they can earn is limited. Finally, according to statistics, the total value of real gold and silver inside is only about 3000 million taels.

The treasury of the Mughal Empire is different. You must know that nearly half of the land in the entire Mughal Empire is the private property of the royal family. This time, most of the crazy acquisitions organized by the Ming Dynasty are agricultural and sideline products. The astonishing wealth earned can be imagined.

However, in the end, Lu Xiangsheng’s statistics still shocked Zhu Cijiong. In the treasury of the Mughal Empire, there were more than 1000 million taels of gold alone, but less silver, only a few million taels.

What is the concept of more than 1000 million taels of gold? The current price ratio between gold and silver is 4:[-]. In other words, the gold in the treasury of the Mughal Empire alone is worth more than [-] million taels of silver!
Is this figure exaggerated?In fact, it is not an exaggeration at all. The most famous Taj Mahal in the Mughal Empire was built by Shah Jahan. According to the price ratio at that time, it cost nearly 200 million taels of gold just to buy gems and crystals. It is a large number of new gold temples. A temple consumes tens of thousands of gold. This country has a special preference for gold. Gold is a symbol of identity and status. Naturally, as the emperor Shah Jahan, it is natural that he should Such terrifying wealth can only be gathered by getting most of the gold from Daming's acquisition.

After Zhu Cijiong heard the news, he felt very relieved. This time, almost all the investment was recovered, and all the subsequent gains were pure profits. This time, he really made a lot of money.

For this reason, he decided to build a palace specially for Shah Jahan and the royal family of the Mughal Empire when expanding the capital in the future, and build it according to the scale of his palace, in recognition of his contribution to the Ming Empire!
Then it’s time for the real shearing. The elites from Daming Royal Xinglong Company and Daming Portuguese Trading Company gathered in Goa, and even Kong Dede came back. Under the auspices of Zhu Cijiong, the two companies finally ordered various products s price.

Of course, the most important thing is grain. The price set by Zhu Cijiong is still twelve taels a stone. So how much grain did Daming Royal Xinglong Company and Daming Portuguese Trading Company buy from the Mughal Empire?

I really don’t know, but I was taken aback. This crazy acquisition actually bought more than 1 million shi of grain from the Mughal Empire. Can so much grain be sold?

There is no need to worry about this at all. You must know that the population of the Mughal Empire is nearly 5000 million. Even if every two people consume one stone of food per month on average, it is 500 million stones per month. This food is enough for four months. However, even if the Mughal Empire resumes production now, it will be at least half a year before there is grain output, and more than 1 million shi of grain is not enough for half a year's consumption.

In other words, this item alone can earn almost one billion taels of income!
Although not many other materials were purchased, based on the set price, the value is almost [-] million taels of silver. Calculated in this way, Zhu Cijiong will earn more than one billion taels of silver just this time, which is equivalent to Nearly [-]% of the gold and silver circulating in the Mughal Empire market was scraped away!
Of course, this is only the expected income. How to sell all the things is a problem. It is also a problem whether the civilians who participated in the riots and the nobles who were lucky enough not to be looted by the rioters with a lot of gold and silver are willing to spend their money to buy things.

Don’t underestimate these problems. According to reports from Jinyiwei secret agents, most civilians involved in the riots did not dare to dig out all the gold bricks and silver ingots they robbed to buy food, because they were afraid, how much is a brick as big as a brick worth? money?That's tens of thousands of taels, and you can buy tens of thousands or even 10,000+ catties of grain. How many people dare to take it out at once!
Anyway, the country is now occupied by you, what if you directly rob it?When the time comes, there will be nowhere to cry!

Therefore, most civilians buy food with scraps of gold and silver that are as broken as a dog gnawed. If you buy a little at a time, you can guarantee that you will not starve to death. The so-called wealth is not in vain. We all understand this truth.

This way of consumption can only earn back the gold and silver in their hands in the year of the monkey. You must know that the golden time is only half a year. When the first wave of planted grain is harvested, the price will gradually return to normal. By that time What a fart!

At this time, Zhu Cijiong thought of the advantages of the dragon coin, which is easy to carry. Everyone can tell if you carry a gold brick the size of a brick, but if you carry the dragon coin, no ghost will be able to see it.

It just so happened that Dragon Coins were always to be promoted in the Mughal Empire. If all commoners could use Dragon Coins, then they would not have to worry about their money being exposed.

How can all the common people believe it? This has already been practiced once in Daming, and all officials understand that it is more demonstration, so all over the Mughal Empire took dragon coins to the branches of Daming Royal Xinglong Company and Daming Portuguese Trading Company. The number of people buying things suddenly increased, and the common people of the Mughal Empire gradually realized that this kind of banknotes can also be used as money.

Then, Zhu Cijiong asked Daming Royal Xinglong Company and Daming Portuguese Trading Company to renovate all the branches in the Mughal Empire, separating out many single rooms, and only one person was allowed to enter at a time. As for whether to buy things or exchange dragon coins, absolutely Keep it a secret from you!

After another deliberate demonstration, the civilians of the Mughal Empire finally began to follow suit. More and more people exchanged gold bricks and silver ingots for dragon coins. The food was recited, who knows how much he exchanged.

This finally revived the economy of the Mughal Empire. The Ming Royal Xinglong Company earned more and more gold and silver, and a boatload of real gold and silver was transported back to Daming from the Mughal Empire, which was more expensive than when it was shipped. Frequently.

Zhu Cijiong reckoned that his treasury and silver treasury were about to burst, alas, it had to be expanded again, what a happy trouble!
