The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song shrugged his shoulders: "The elders of this pavilion just authorized these people to enter the city. I didn't expect to spread it to ten, ten to hundreds, and it became a well-known secret throughout the country. They exchanged war horses, ginseng, antler, Korean ginseng, and gold for my Ming Dynasty. After the success of the goods, the follow-up caravans came in droves, and they came every day. It gave me a headache."

Hashiba Hideyoshi laughed dryly, but wished he could punch Yan Song's treacherous face.

You're obviously making money every day and making a lot of money, so why don't you pretend to be aggressive here, okay?

Hashiba Hideyoshi, as a small expert in financial management (he will unify Japan in the future and also has the advantage of expertise in internal affairs), can draw a conclusion just by making an estimate-this Tianjin is a trading city, even if it does not open the sea, it is only based on the trade of land caravans. The amount is already very profitable, making money every day.

Because the Mongols, Koreans, Hui people, and Jurchens are all stupid!

Facing the treacherous Ming businessmen, these people are honest and honest, like babies holding gold, going in and out of the market, letting the old fried dough sticks suck their marrow and blow their bones.

Hashiba Hideyoshi saw with his own eyes that a simple and honest Mongolian man led a fat, strong, and shiny first-class war horse into a tea shop, and after a while, he came out with two big tea bricks on his shoulders!

A high-class war horse, just exchange for two big tea bricks?

Nima, this is robbery!

But looking at the Mongolian man with a satisfied smile on his face, Hashiba Hideyoshi thought he had done a huge and lucrative deal.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and sneaked up, grabbed the Mongolian man and said in a low voice, "Brother, you traded a Mongolian war horse for two big Ming tea bricks, is it a loss or not? You are so stupid!"

·············

Who would have thought that the Mongolian man stared bull-eyed and punched Hashiba Hideyoshi in the eye, gave him a panda eye, and cursed at the same time:

"You can't be from Daming at first glance! You must be Japanese! Japanese people have no good things! Sowing dissension is not good."

Hashiba Hideyoshi wants to cry but has no tears. I have learned the routine, but I really want to tease you.

People around rushed up and separated the two.

The Mongolian snorted coldly, proudly held up two big tea bricks, and said loudly: "I exchanged a horse for these two big tea bricks, and I made a lot of money! Do you know that I, a Mongolian, eat greasy food and have no tea. , can't live!"

...............

"At the border, we Mongolians need a horse and a lamb in exchange for such a tea brick. Now the profit is more than doubled! Do you think I have made money?"

Only then did Hashiba Hideyoshi understand.

In order to invade Daming, he had already researched it.

The Ming Dynasty has always pursued a closed-door policy towards Mongolia, and mutual trade is not allowed.In fact, the two sides have also traded before, but as soon as the Mongols took advantage of it, they became arrogant and robbed the place of the mutual market many times, buying and selling by force.In a fit of rage, the Ming government simply shut down the exchange market, making life difficult.

In the future, the reason why the little prince, Altan Khan and other Mongolian lords of all dynasties continued to invade Daming was, on the one hand, to restore the former glory of the Great Yuan, but the more important practical reason was to rob tea, ironware and other daily necessities. what.

Mongolians don't have tea, so they don't have butter tea to drink, and they don't have iron pots, so they can only use sheepskin to boil water, which is really miserable.

Every time the Mongolian army attacked Daming, the most plundered items were not gold and silver treasures, but iron pots, kitchen knives, hoes, etc. They rushed into people's homes and would not kill people after handing over the iron pot and kitchen knives, which made the Han people look confused.Seeing them loading one car after another, the Mongolian men were filled with a sense of happiness.

There is no way. At this time, Mongolia will not only restore the glory of Genghis Khan, but even basic life will become a problem.

People are poor and short-spirited, but horses are thin and long-haired.

. .

Chapter 596 Shakespeare who has never seen the world [6]

The Mongols, who were suffering from severe shortage of iron pans and kitchen knives, felt overwhelmed. When they heard about the opening of the sea in Tianjin, they immediately regained their spirits.

Can buy and sell, who wants to fight?

After all, every time you invade, you can't get any good things. Instead, you have to take the lives of many Mongolians, just to rob an iron pot and kitchen knife and kill them. Isn't it worth it?

As a result, the Mongols sent a large number of caravans to Tianjin for trade.

A similar situation happened in Goryeo, Jurchen and Huibu.

These ethnic minority areas also lack all kinds of advanced materials of Ming Dynasty, and the demand for transactions is very urgent.Daming banned trade before, but it suffocated them. Now that Daming Tianjin has opened a special trade zone, don't you rush to hear the news?

These caravans come to Daming, come and go, and they can make a lot of money just because of the "seven-five-seven" interests. Driven by interests, even their patriarchs and kings do not stop them, but actively participate in it. , organized a caravan in his own name, and traded with Daming on a large scale.

This is what Hashiba Hideyoshi and the others saw.

To put it simply, the Ming Dynasty closed the country for a long time and closed almost all land and sea trade windows.However, the demand for trade between various countries and Ming Dynasty exists objectively, and it has become increasingly stronger due to the passage of time.Now that Tianjin has become a trading city allowed by privileges, Yan Song still has no trading volume?

Therefore, Yan Song dared to make a military order to Jiajing to pay 100 million tax silver before the end of the year.

He knows Daming too well, and he also knows the surrounding countries too well. He deeply understands that market demand is independent of human will. As long as there is demand and profit, there must be a transaction.

Yan Song just used his real power to open up a window for Daming.

He only needs to make the best use of the situation, and the demand is like a flood that cannot be stopped.

The prosperity of Tianjin is caused by this.

Compared with cities in the south, Tianjin's geographical location also has unique advantages.

It is located in the north, has both land and sea geographical advantages, and is very close to Mongolia and the Northeast. It is very convenient for land caravans and sea fleets to come in, while the south can only eat the sea.

Tianjin has not yet officially opened the sea, and there are already hundreds of Mongolian, Jurchen, Korean, and Hui caravans entering the city every day, and the number is still increasing. As a result, the businessmen of Ming Dynasty are making a lot of money every day. .

Judging from the collection of tariffs, the tariffs can now collect more than 10 taels of silver a day.With the tax rate of 300% tax and back, the current daily transaction volume in Tianjin is about [-] million taels!

This is already 300 million silver per day without the sea caravan!

What kind of terrifying transaction volume is this?

Seeing such a prosperous trading volume, Sinbad, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others thought they were envoys who pinched Daming's neck, and they were all downcast.
