Chapter 275 The Third Chair of Ming Dynasty (Please give me double monthly ticket)
Wang Buli lay dead at home.
No, or I am thinking hard about how to promote perfume and sanitary napkins.
The maids on the side are threading mutton skewers and getting ready for the barbecue.
Lay the foundation for the next spring outing to pick flowers.
Then the maid was giving Wang Buli a massage, and he received Kang Changmin, the eunuch from the palace.
Your Majesty has something important to do and please invite your consort into the palace.
"Ah, why are you so urgent?"
Wang Buli thought to himself that if I just rested for a while, Lao Zhu would always send someone to call him into the palace for a chat.
Is this a way to avoid leaving yourself empty-handed?
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
So when Wang Buli entered the city gate and saw Ping An being rewarded one after another, everyone began to sit down.
North Korea did not have its own currency for a long time, and had to use Ming Dynasty money.
Although North Korea had no currency, it relied on the Ming Dynasty to become the trade center of East Asia.
The goods of the Ming Dynasty have a huge market among the surrounding small countries, and they also lead their fashion.
We can even sell them large quantities of designer porcelain that is beautiful in shape but does not have many practical functions. "
But the Ming Dynasty was also short of money, and even less money went out.
But in recent years, when Korean envoys came to China, they all suffered disaster.
Countries such as North Korea and Japan are proud to have items from the Ming Dynasty at home.
Wang Buli quickly read the credentials of the King of Korea.
Wang Buli was arranged to sit across from Zhu Biao's desk and read the information carefully.
Wang Buli simply gave him two peaches and killed three people.
Goryeo is currently stronger than North Korea, at least it still has a nominal currency in the country.
The market for silk is so big and the price is so high that it cannot be digested by the entire Ming Dynasty.
Now that the King of Goryeo is fully committed to the opportunity given to them by the Ming Dynasty, how can he object?
This is huge profit!
Without competing for tribute, they would not be able to earn this money.
He is a pragmatist.
The incident of Japanese pirates alone prompted Zhu Yuanzhang to promulgate a sea ban policy in order to prevent them from colluding with the defeated troops to counterattack the mainland.
In the main hall.
"Your Majesty, many of our Ming Dynasty's objects cannot be made by either Korea or Japan.
But the bottle held by Mrs. Ping An is truly a unique treasure.
"Brother An, if you don't have enough, I'll make a fresh one and I'll refill it for you."
Not only will the number of beneficiaries of Goryeo's powerful ministers increase, but their money will also increase.
They all want perfume, express themselves crazily, and hope that peace can be given to them, but this is really difficult for him.
So for money, it is normal for bloodshed to occur.
Compared to the tribute trade, opening a single opening for them would be a godsend.
As a military general, especially one who is still young, he will have to fight for his life on the battlefield in the future. How can he be hurt by drinking and sex?
Ping An has started quitting smoking recently, and I hope they will both get pregnant.
Therefore, he was very concerned about this matter, and sent a pre-inspection mission to inquire about the situation in Goryeo in detail. Now some information has been sent back.
Even if the envoy group can profit from the mission to the Ming Dynasty, others can't get it, so how can they not be jealous.
And Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know how to appreciate and play with those exquisite porcelains.
After all, Ming Dynasty represents power, wealth, and taste in surrounding countries.
That bottle of perfume still has its lethality.
Ping An waved his hands repeatedly, he was really not the only woman.
There was almost no normal trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan.
As a result, tribute disputes occurred later.
"Farewell, farewell."
Or maybe he didn't have time to waste on it.
Although the Ming Dynasty had everything, its early foreign trade was not outstanding.
Nowadays, these large quantities of things that can be produced at will can all be turned into sharp weapons to weaken Beiyuan's strength. This is indeed a path that Lao Zhu has never imagined.
It was because the Ming Dynasty thought that the tribute from the Japanese country was worth a lot of money, and did not take it seriously at all. However, the Japanese people felt differently.
After listening to Wang Buli's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
He refined the central idea, which is what Ming Dynasty said.
It seems that the fields are not easily damaged by plowing, but the cows can be really tired.
Zheng He's voyages to the West were also driven by political factors rather than economic factors. Most of the things were given away casually, and most of the transactions were spices and so on.
Otherwise, the huge expenditure of money would not have given many civil servants an excuse to cancel their voyages.
Ming Dynasty doesn't care, but which of the people along the coast is unhappy with Ming Dynasty's generosity?
Wang Buli looked at the intelligence collected by the inspection school and had to say that these people were quite capable. They could get some information by going to Gaoli to investigate.
So are they too easy to tell apart by playing Mongolians?
Or maybe the Koreans still have to flatter them, but Mongolia is different, the mass base is not good.
Wang Buli didn't ask about the fictional Mongolians getting titles. Did Lao Zhu do it?
But he discovered one thing: Gao Li was now terminally ill.
Although they have their own currency, copper coins and silver bottles, they have almost no interaction with the people below.
Many people used rice or cloth as currency for private transactions.
Moreover, the tax collected by Goryeo was one out of ten taxes. In addition, local products from various places had to be handed over, which were divided into regular tribute and special tribute.
All are turned over in kind.
Of course, if it were so good, Korea wouldn't be so miserable.
As private estates expanded, tax shifts became more severe.
Nominally everyone had to pay tribute, but wealthy families were often exempted from tax, and the entire burden fell on the common people.
In order to seek huge profits, farmers in Goryeo often had to pay several times higher tribute.
Wang Buli found that the people of Goryeo are really tolerant now. They are so able to endure hardship.
In the past, the Mongols came to Goryeo many times to cause chaos and plunder. Then the Red Turban Army came to plunder, and Japanese pirates also came to plunder.
Goryeo's army could not even save the lives of its people, not to mention their property. Why didn't anyone revolt?
Didn't the personal experience of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty blow the wind of peasant uprising in Goryeo?
Especially at this time, Korea has not updated its planting technology, there is no double-cropping rice, etc., and there is not enough food to eat, so they don't dare to rebel?
Wang Buli was very confused.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Biao, who was sitting opposite, saw Wang Buli's expression change and thought something had happened.
"There has been no peasant uprising in Goryeo until now. I really don't understand it."
Wang Buli put down one piece of information under his hand, picked up another and continued to read: "I thought the people of Goryeo lived a hard life, but I didn't expect them to endure hardship even more."
Zhu Biao:? ? ?
"What do you say?"
"There are endless taxes to pay and endless corvees to serve."
"What, you want to help them?" Zhu Biao asked funny.
Wang Buli then shook his head: "Since they can endure hardship so much, they might as well endure more hardship."
Zhu Biao's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.
Because this answer has never appeared in his brain.
He thought that Wang Buli wanted to secretly encourage Goryeo, and Ming Dynasty, like Dayuan, made a mess of that land and developed it into a forward position for attacking Japan in the future.
As a result, he let the people of Goryeo continue to suffer!
Zhu Biao then thought about it, since Wang Buli said that Goryeo would not last long and there would be unrest sooner or later. The Ming Dynasty had just taken the first step and specified that it did not want any unrest there.
It's not bad to keep the status quo.
Zhu Biao glanced at Wang Buli again, and sure enough, he was still a little sympathetic.
It is up to their rulers to worry about whether the people of the small Fanbang countries will die or not. There are still many places in the Ming Dynasty where governance is not perfect. How can he have time to invite the people of the small Fanbang countries?
When Wang Buli finished looking at Goryeo's supplies, they were able to buy copper, wax, hematoxylin, pepper, etc. from Japan. Leather goods were also available in Goryeo, but he had forgotten about them.
The most important thing is that Wang Buli found a way to transport rice directly from Goryeo to Dagokou, which could also alleviate the food problem of northern soldiers.
"finish watching?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pen in his hand, and a maid came forward and started rubbing his wrist.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have finished reading. The situation in Korea is more complicated than I imagined. There are some things I have not considered before."
Wang Buli also emphasized that rice from Goryeo could be exchanged for silk, tea, porcelain, etc., further reducing the cost of the court's supply of food to the north.
Previously, he was simply considering getting benefits from Beiyuan, completely forgetting that Japan was also part of the trade.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Wang Buli's story, but thought that he had subconsciously abandoned the Japanese line.
This guy wants to leave the benefits of this Japanese silver mine to his fourth son. Then they can go to the north to have fun. Do you really think I don’t know your little thoughts?
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang recognized Wang Buli's honesty and leniency. He was just waiting to see Wang Buli's expression when he found out that he had found a silver mine from Japan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of expectations for this matter.
I told you to hide it from me and have a good relationship with the fourth brother, so you have to team up with him to hide the silver mine.
After returning to Nanjing to celebrate the New Year, Xiao Lao Si returned to his hometown in Fengyang to continue training his troops.
Wang Buli rambled on about the situation in Goryeo, and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "What should we do next?"
"The Hubu warehouse contains silk, tea and porcelain, and Korea will send ships to trade."
Wang Buli was very surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's question. What's so difficult about it?
"What do you mean I don't need to do anything?"
"Just normal transactions." Wang Buli sat sideways and replied:
"Just make sure the business is fair. There's no need to give them too many rewards. Ore and the like also need to be mined. It's better to let them transport it with other goods first.
Moreover, many of the merchant ships coming from Korea are designated to return with empty positions. They can also bring silver bottles to buy additional goods from our Daming Dynasty. After all, we have the pricing power, and they will make a huge profit if they resell them.
After such a trade, everyone should know what to do. "
Wang Buli believed that as long as the first trade was successful and everyone tasted the benefits, even if there were many storms on the sea, they would not be able to stop them from sending people to Ming Dynasty to make money.
After all, it was not the powerful people of Goryeo who took the risk, they only needed to send people out.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Wang Buli would give some wise advice, but he never thought that he would be so calm.
He planned two hostile empires and two small foreign countries at once, but the answer Wang Buli gave was that he could just do serious business to support this trade line?
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who had to control everything, he felt extremely unhappy.
Because this matter was beyond his control and he had no previous experience to speak of.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Buli blankly.
