The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

England, France, and the New World are all poor places in the countryside compared to Ming Dynasty.

This thing is true.

Huaxia has occupied the absolute leader position on the global economic map for a long time.Some European and American studies have found that it was not until the Second Opium War, around 1860, that the GDP of the Kingdom of Ying surpassed that of the Qing Dynasty.

In the 16th century, the West, which had not yet started the industrial revolution, even occupied a vast land, even captured Africa, two Americas, Oceania and other places, but was still economically thrown out by Ming Dynasty by 100 streets.

You don't agree?

Chapter 1458 The wealth of Ming Dynasty is beyond the imagination of your poor people [2]

The Ming Dynasty is a poor country, but the main reason is that the tax rate is extremely low, and the wealth is hidden in the people. According to research, the economic output value of Suzhou at that time exceeded that of the entire England.

How much is a piece of palm-sized and exquisite Suzhou embroidery worth when it is shipped to the UK?

You could trade a whole boatload of wool!

A small can of tea, shipped to France, can be exchanged for a small estate.

In the pre-industrial era when machines were not popular, Daming had a population of hundreds of millions, the largest in the world, and was in a stable and peaceful state. The per capita productivity far surpassed that of Europe, and even the production technology surpassed Europe. Both in terms of total volume and per capita, economically are the richest.

The six pirate kings all know this.

What they like to rob most is also the merchant fleet from Daming, and one ticket is enough to last for half a year.

"Boss Wang, I won't take this with you!" Derek said full of envy and jealousy: "Who doesn't know that you are so powerful because you occupy this treasure land of geomantic omen in Daming? Plus Daming is weak, when Japanese pirates rob, That's enough to make you rich."

"But all you know are old calendars!"

Wang Zhi was a little sour, with tears in his eyes 13 Wang said: "Da Ming is no longer weak now. He has a chief assistant named Yan Song!"

"After Yan Song pushed Daming to open up the sea, Daming's economy skyrocketed like a second kick!" Wang Zhi inserted a knife into the table, licked his lips and said, "Do you know that just one Tianjin, one How much silver does the merchant ship transport in a year?"

He extended a slap.

"50 taels?" Mansa Musa narrowed his eyes.

"Fart! You underestimate Da Ming, I bet 500 million!" Sol shouted.

Wang Zhi looked at these pirate kings indifferently, with ridicule in his eyes, and shook his head.

redneck!What a bunch of country folks!

"No, no way?" Drake exclaimed, "Could it be that you want to say it's 5000 million taels of silver?"

5000 million taels of silver, converted into gold coins, is 500 million taels of gold!

Drake never dreamed that Daming would be so rich.

"Hehe!" Wang Zhi still shook his head, and said condescendingly: "Please forgive me, everyone here is poor! Poverty limits your imagination!"

Originally, the six pirate kings were ridiculed by the leader Wang Zhiqun for the poor, and all of them were angry and ready to use their knives.

What does it mean?

Poverty, limiting our imagination?

"Could it be, could it be..." Even Azhisha was stunned, her eyes widened: "Old ship owner, you want to say that the value of cargo handling in a mere Tianjin port is 5,5 billion yuan a year?"

Her last [-] million is very heavy.

"Billion? What is a billion?" Saul looked confused, "I'm not good at math!"

Many pirate kings were stunned.

Yes.

Billion, what unit is this?

They are all experts when it comes to killing people and stealing goods, and when it comes to mathematics, Nima really touched their blind spot of knowledge!

"Damn it!" Wufeng's captain, Wang Zhi, had been forced by this group of uneducated poor, and he was about to go crazy, and cursed: "You are not only poor, but also uneducated! A hundred million is ten million! Do you understand? Daming last year in Tianjin The cargo throughput of the port is worth 5 taels of silver a year!"

The pirate kings all opened their mouths wide in shock and their eyes gleamed.

"5 million taels of silver, converted into gold, is 5000 million taels of gold?" Jack Spyruo, who is considered the most educated among them, made a calculation: "If it is replaced by our unit, it can almost fill... ··”

"Damn it, this is much more treasure than the Aztec king's treasure!"

Sol's mouth is watering.

The so-called treasure of the Aztec king is that after the Spanish conquered the Aztecs, they captured the Aztec king Montezuma II and demanded a ransom to fill a house.The Aztecs did everything they could to satisfy the Spaniards, but Montezuma II was still brutally executed.Before his death, Montezuma II swore a poisonous oath that anyone who dared to touch his treasure would be cursed forever and died a violent death.

Even Queen Elizabeth was secretly amazed.

She was amazed, Daming under Yan Song's rule was so rich?

5 million taels of silver, the transaction volume of a city?

The tax paid to the country is at least tens of millions of taels.

Elizabeth's admiration for Yan Song has increased to a higher level: "This time I came to Daming, although I am in exile, but if I can obtain the scriptures and study hard with Yan Song, I will be able to govern the country better when I go back. It is a blessing in disguise!"

Wang Zhi saw these pirate kings, drooling so much, and smiled sinisterly.

Mao Haifeng secretly gave his adoptive father a thumbs up.

high!It's really high!
