I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

But even so, Zhu Fugui's accumulation of wealth has slowed down significantly in the past two years.

In the past two years, Zhu Fugui's internal funds have only increased by more than 100 billion yuan, with a total of about 420 billion yuan.

If the money is used for personal consumption, whether it is wine pond meat forest or smashing coral trees for fun, it will not be used up in this life.

However, it cannot be said that the military expenditure for a world war is sufficient.

In line with the principle of being lenient when predicting the enemy, Zhu Fugui still has to do everything possible to make small money.

The reason why making money has slowed down in the past two years is mainly due to the diving of silver prices.

Chapter 604 Already Changed into the Shape of Ming Dynasty

This makes the good days when Zhu Fugui can cash out crazily by moving silver are gone forever.

The general trend of history is unstoppable, and it is inevitable that the gold standard will replace the silver standard on a global scale.

Last year, traditional powers such as Britain, Germany, France, and Italy successively announced that they would switch to the gold standard.

At present, the only big countries in the world that use silver as their main currency are the Qing Dynasty, the sick man in East Asia, and Osman, the sick man in West Asia.

Daming is quite special.

Because it is one of the most important industrial product production bases in the world today, and its trade with European countries is in surplus.

So it doesn't really matter what Ming's local currency is.

Because the currency of Ming Dynasty actually anchored the commodities produced by Ming Dynasty and industrial products with comparative advantages.

Ming claimed to be a gold standard country, but in fact issued a lot of banknotes.

This excess hair is benign.

If anyone asks to exchange the value of the banknotes, even if Daming can't get enough gold, he can still get enough instant noodles.

In this era, instant noodles are naturally hard currency.

Of course, the instant noodles here can also be something else.

For example, in the past two years, bankers in the City of London attempted to collectively short Daming Banknotes.

They bought Daming treasure banknotes at a premium from cotton farmers in the United States (South), and accumulated a huge amount of money.

Then they suddenly launched a mass attack, and in a short period of time, they ran on many banks in Daming.

The situation at that time was very critical, even Bai Xia'er, Yin Susu and the others prepared to melt their respective aluminum statues for emergency.

But in the end, Zhu Fugui directly asked Geng Junhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, to come forward and come up with a batch of high-quality water pipes (not Laiyang), which split and disintegrated the banker alliance.

The construction of drinking water pipelines in London has long been in disrepair. The cost of contracting this project is extremely high, and the profit margin is very small.

But a small profit does not mean that the total project cost is small. If the cost is borne by Daming, then the profit will become very considerable.

As a result, Daming's European special supply water pipes were sold to the British at an extremely low price, and the Daming banknotes were recovered, stabilizing the value of the currency.

And these lead-rich water pipes have also been well received by users in London.

Of course, it's not that Zhu Fugui specially schemed against them by providing them with water pipes with extremely high Roman content.

Zhu Fugui dared to pat his chest to assure that even if these water pipes were brought to the United States and Canada in the 21st century, they would definitely meet the local standards.

Obviously, these leaded water pipes all over the poor communities in the United States and Canada have greatly damaged the intelligence of the poor. This time, Zhu Fugui let the evil bankers and the elites in the rich areas also try the sweetness of the water of the poor. The light of righteousness.

only……

……

Saying farewell to Zhu Fugui, the deer Julie, whose body was refilled with energy, went to Europe on the private yacht [Handsome Yellow Crane].

Accompanying her was Eugenie's old sister-in-law.

Old sister-in-law Eugenie also had her own yacht in the past.

The Suez Canal, which was built by 10,000+ Egyptians who died that year, was opened to navigation, and the first ship that passed was Eugenie's private yacht.

Now Julie is the de facto head of the Vanderbilt family. She is the second wealthiest woman in the world after Victoria, and her property is likely to be above Xingzhen.

At the same time, she is also in charge of nearly 1/5 of Zhu Fugui's internal funds, that is, a wealth of more than 800 million pounds (pounds in the nineteenth century).

Therefore, the total wealth that Julie can mobilize may even exceed Victoria.

According to Jin Yiwei's estimate, Victoria's personal property is only about 1250 million pounds, which is equivalent to 120 billion yuan in later generations.

However, due to the empathy of a reactionary monarch, Zhu Fugui felt that the property of the British royal family must be much more than that.

They are cunning and cunning, and must have hidden possessions.

After all, in this world, there are too few honest kings like His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

So much so that Concubine Fan wanted to build a yacht, but she paid for it out of her dowry.

The cost of Julie's yacht is only about 15 pounds, which is far less expensive than Eugenie's cruise ship back then.

But because of the construction technology, this [Handsome Yellow Crane] is definitely not bad in terms of appearance and performance.

Compared with Zhu Fugui's other three lovers, Julie, who was born in a wealthy family, still has a strong little bourgeois atmosphere.

Anyway, no matter how rich Zhu Fugui was, he would never buy something like a yacht. If he wanted to fix it, he would fix the airship.

But it has to be said that this kind of luxury yacht is also an indispensable tool to do business in Europe, especially to open luxury stores and lead the trend of consumerism.

At least, when the [Handsome Yellow Crane] yacht docked at the port of Suprit in Croatia under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the good sister Queen Elizabeth (Sissi) who had been waiting here and a group of European ladies all sent There was an exclamation.

"What a beautiful boat!"

"Austria has no such ships, and neither has Rome!"

"Sisters, tell me, do I have the qualifications to be the mistress of the Ming emperor?"

"If you can lose 80 pounds, there might be a chance..."

……

The women babbled about cruise ships.

These European ladies who did not deal with Elizabeth would gather here to unload the latest and most fashionable clothes from Richmond Fashion Week.

As well as Hanyun brand jewelry and sachets handcrafted by top craftsmen in Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are stockings and deodorant perfume that make countless women crazy.

The silk stockings and perfumes that are usually shipped by cargo ship and packed in containers are all high-end goods, and the ones that arrive with Julie's cruise ship are the most advanced nylon stockings.

These stockings come in black, white, purple, web and flesh.

Each has its own unique charm.

The advertisement said, "Women conquer men with stockings", this is by no means empty words.

Julie herself has a good user experience.

Of course, there is still half a sentence left in the advertisement.

Women conquer men with stockings, and Daming conquers women with stockings.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Suddenly, a daughter of a grand duke from Bohemia cried out curiously.

I saw the dock workers unloading the cargo under the watchful eye of the Jinyiwei female soldiers with live ammunition.

These goods can't be as thick and rough as usual, but they should be handled with care without daring to breathe.

Because it is a luxury.

And it's a luxury of hunger marketing.

This is doomed to the number of goods will not be much.

But today's unloaded goods seem to be extraordinarily large.

Elizabeth also frowned and stepped forward.

She first hugged the two long-lost girlfriends one by one, and then asked suspiciously: "Julie, Eugenie, didn't we agree to let those art treasures flood cheaply?"

Julie shook her head with a smile, and opened one of the boxes in public.

"This is... brandy?" Elizabeth guessed uncertainly.

"no!"

Julie smiled and opened a bottle of Kang Shuaifu purified water, and put it on the tip of Elizabeth's nose, "It's water, pure water from Daming!"

"But why do you bring so much water?"

Elizabeth asked the confusion of the ladies present.

"This one……"

Julie looked embarrassed, and gave Eugenie a veiled look.

After finally getting a job as a mascot and brand spokesperson in Europe during the milking interval, Eugenie quickly said, "Oh, my God, my Elizabeth, didn't you realize when you were in Daming that the water in Daming is special? Sweet, is the air particularly sweet?"

"This... seems to be there, there is no smell of cow dung..." Elizabeth said noncommittally.

"That's right, my little Elizabeth!"

Eugenie fanned the air vigorously with her hands, and said with half-truth and half-fake disgust, "This is the reason why I persuaded Napoleon to give up the throne and live in Daming. The air in Europe is too dirty, and the water is stinky.

Julie and I are used to drinking water from Daming, our stomachs have become like that of Daming, and we can no longer swallow the dirty water in Europe! "

Chapter 605 The Season of Harvest

In the past two years, relying on the excellent quality, or overwhelming quality, the silk stockings, perfumes, clothing, and leather bags produced by Daming are all in short supply.

Hanyun has become a popular luxury brand in the European upper class.

No matter how anti-Daming people are, it is difficult to control their wives from buying Daming silk stockings.

Protests against bright goods have erupted in France, Denmark, Austria and other places before.

Desperate local craftsmen, small entrepreneurs, and white supremacists who simply hate Orientals took to the streets.

They point out that the evil dividend pig is a symbol of Ming imperialism and the fangs of the Yellow Peril to the Western world.

They burned the Sun and Moon flag of Ming Dynasty on the street, and burned clothes, schoolbags and uniforms with Peggy's symbol on them.

But when they turned the fire on the stockings, they were hit head-on by the rolling pins of the women.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui, Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also delivered a speech to fans in Europe through radio waves, pointing out that the narrow nationalist concept of some Europeans is a trampling on the universal values ​​of all mankind, it is low-level and uncivilized, and it is an act that only increases hatred .

The world is so big that there is room for East and West.

The beauty of the world allows us to transcend skin color, language, and ethnicity and connect with each other.

I will do what I do and connect often.

Those people who incite hatred and tell tales make my heart ache, my heart is about to break...

Let us join hands, be more tolerant and understanding, and never allow the flower of evil to bloom on the fertile land of Europa.

……

Zhu Fugui's speech was very successful.

However, after reading the speech, Zhu Fugui turned around and went to inspect the new equipment of the Royal Army of Ming Dynasty.

As long as there are the hardest guns and the most ruthless tanks, then Winston Churchill, who is full of dung and preaches racial vendetta everywhere, can also become a great politician and be recorded in the annals of history in the name of the liberator of mankind.

Zhu Fugui felt that according to his usual remarks of the little angel of peace, it should not be a problem to be named the most benevolent king in the ages after his death.

If there is a Nobel Peace Prize, if it is not reelected for [-] or [-] consecutive terms, the real number selection committee will suppress me, Daming.

……

Women's money is easy to earn.

Historically, the primitive accumulation of Japan’s rise, apart from Meiji Hime going to Nanyang to earn foreign exchange, exported raw silk to the United States, which was then made into silk stockings and sold all over the world.

Today, some of the raw silk produced in Wajima Dogofu is also used in Daming's stockings, and Daming has replaced the United States and become the world's stocking factory.

In fact, since last year, the sales of Daming stockings have surpassed that of tractor chassis.

Of course, tractor chassis are only exported to a small number of countries such as Germany and Ottomans, while stockings are exported to all of Europe and even the world.
