Chapter 53 We are actually just an old spittoon seller

Many times, Han Xiufen always feels that she still doesn’t understand these Europeans, so she finds someone who is familiar with the European style of doing things to do something she doesn’t understand.

In this way, everyone can truly communicate with each other on the same thinking, which will reduce many unnecessary misunderstandings.

Sure enough, in the evening, when Han Xiufen invited Governor Rennes and Governor Raymond to have dinner, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

The pale whiteness on Raymond's face finally turned a little blush, and a smile appeared on Renne's dead gray vampire Earl's face.

As for Han Xiufen's bronze face, she was filled with smiles. She raised her glasses frequently for congratulations on the incident that was obviously in a dead end. It was possible to see the light again.

Zhang Chuanli used beautiful language to recall the beautiful impression of dating British people, while Liu Mingliang described his beautiful process of dating English girls over and over again.

Only Leonie sat next to her, quietly eating the delicious steak, and occasionally picked up the wine glass to echo Han Xiufen's invitation.

It took an hour to have a meal to part with all the joy. After Governor Raymond and Governor Rennes left one after another, Liu Mingliang couldn't wait to say to Han Xiufen: "General, why do we still allow the British to stay in India? Isn't it great if we take it alone?"

Han Xiufen picked up the snow-white tablecloth and smeared the corners of her mouth and said, "Hey, do you think India is already ours?"

Liu Mingliang said: "Isn't it ours?"

Han Xiufen looked at Liu Mingliang and said, "Do you know how many people there are in India? Do you know how many armies these local kings along the coast have?"

Liu Mingliang smiled and said, "It's just a group of natives, you can defeat them in one battle."

Han Xiufen frowned and asked, "Did we come to India just to kill people?"

Zhang Chuanli said: "Wealth is what we need, and most of the wealth is not ready-made, it needs to be cultivated, and it takes waiting to be obtained. The general means that we Ming people are not barbarians, and we don't like to kill people if we have nothing to do.

Kill all the people, who will help us make money?

The British did a good job in this regard. After doing business with Indians for many years, they found that instead of taking away the last pair of Indians' shorts, they would be better at doing business with Indians.

The gentlemen of Yushan Business College believe that the gold and silver directly robbed will have a limited improvement in the welfare of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

It is far better to exchange excess goods from China with Indians, for example, to exchange the spittoons we produce for Indians' cotton. In this way, Indians get spittoons and we get cotton, and we get everything, and we don't suffer any losses.

Domestic people can produce spittoons to their fullest, or use the exchanged cotton to produce cotton cloth.

The gentlemen of Yushan Academy believe that the production process is much more important than the results, because a large number of people can participate in the production process, and countless people can get work, support their families, and become rich.

Liu Mingliang said disdainfully, "The production result is not important? Indians are not fools who are willing to exchange their cotton for spittoons? I heard that Indians don't use spittoons!

What are you thinking? If you talk about the important production process, there is no result, but there is nothing to do with the process."

As soon as Liu Mingliang finished speaking, he found that Han Xiufen, Zhang Chuanli, and Leoni looked at him as if he was caring for mentally retarded. Although he didn't know what he was saying wrong, he still spread his hands and said, "Welcome to argue."

Han Xiufen pointed to the door and said, "Get out, you will be responsible for dealing with prisoners in the future, so don't participate in the rest of the matter."

Liu Mingliang jumped up and shouted, "If you have something to say clearly, I can't be angry if I can't say it."

Zhang Chuanli sighed and said, "The gentlemen in the academy are all scholars, so naturally they cannot speak very thoroughly. What gentlemen mean is that the people in China are only responsible for producing spittoons. As for how Indians use cotton to exchange spittoons, it is our job."

Liu Mingliang looked at Han Xiufen dullly, then looked at Leoni and whispered: "Are you talking about using cannons to persuade?"

Han Xiufen sighed and said, "If you can use a mouth to exchange cotton for spittoons, of course it is the best. Do you know? In order to encourage the people to actively produce, His Majesty only has local cloth. Yes, it is the linen cloth that every Ming woman can weave. Has the country accumulated so much?

I tell you, there are 43 million horses, and this number is still increasing. It has become the largest annual subsidy project for the Prime Minister's Office. The burden on the Prime Minister's Office is very heavy."

Liu Mingliang said: "You can do not subsidize or acquire."

Han Xiufen said: "You know, the reason why this phenomenon occurs is that my Ming Dynasty's textile technology is changing with each passing day.

With collective operations and large-scale improvements in technology, how can those peasant women who rely on ancient weaving methods compare with those large workshops?

China has always emphasized men's farming and women's weaving. The life of men's farming and women's weaving has been maintained for thousands of years. This is the social foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Once those women are not allowed to weave cloth, do you know what consequences will be?

The most direct result is that the income of ordinary people in their families is reduced. The deeper meaning is that separating textiles from home production will directly cause a devastating blow to peasant women and will lead to many social problems.

Of course, with newer technology and better cotton will naturally replace linen production, which is a process that will be passed down sooner or later. Our task is to minimize the impact of this technological process on the people of our country."

"Sell the spittoon... no, sell the burlap to Indians?"

Han Xiufen turned his thick neck, then made another chest expansion move and said carelessly: "Sell it to everyone, for example, Count Raymond thinks he can eat ten million pieces alone."

"He has no money."

"His family runs a huge cotton business in India."

"He wants to sell homemade cloth for us?"

"No, he gave us the business."

"So, we won't kill people in the future and start buying things?"

"Selling the goods produced by the Ming Dynasty to any place where people are, and then transporting the things we need back to the Ming Dynasty from any place in the world is the whole meaning of our establishment of the Ming West India Company.

This is a strategic change for our Navy’s duties.”

Han Xiufen said nothing wrong. The Ming Dynasty occupied enough land, and the amount almost exceeded the limit that the imperial court could bear.

The army's territory is beautiful to say, but it is also good to write in historical books.

But who knows that Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu are already worried about this and can't sleep.

In Liaodong, Li Dingguo's army was advancing rapidly, the vanguard had arrived in Hetuara, and the army of Jinhu had officially set foot on North Korea.

In the Western Regions, since Xia Wanchun arrived in the Western Regions, it was no longer the Junggar Khanate that caused trouble for the Han people, but the generals under Xia Wanchun were ready to close the Junggar Khanate and trapped the Khanate, which was known for its strength, in the Junggar Basin. For another two or three years, the Mongolian Khanate was about to disappear.

In Uszang, 1,400 Ming officials have entered Uszang, which is sparsely populated, and together with Sun Guoxin's crazy believers, they are preparing to re-establish the order that Uszang has been completely destroyed by Hanling Mountain.

In the southwest, Hong Chengchou really lived up to the name of a capable minister. He relied on his troops in his hands to keep the road to governing the southwest and stayed at night. Not only that, he also built a land route to Malacca.

In Nanyang, Han Xiufen has an extremely big appetite. Relying on Malacca, he forced to close the gate of the Strait of Malacca. It indicates that the east of the Strait of Malacca will be the territory of the Ming Empire.

There are also the herdsmen in the jurisdiction of Lantian City, which are backed by the powerful empire of Daming, who finally spontaneously began to advance northward because of the popularity of wool, meat products and dairy products in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the herdsmen are going north, as local troops protecting these herdsmen, they have to follow the herdsmen to move north...

Therefore, the money and grain numbers requested by Li Dingguo became an astronomical number, and the documents requested by Xia Wanchun had never been cut off from the Western Regions to the country.

As for Uszang, it was a completely unsatisfactory pit. Sun Guoxin was preparing to raise the lives of the remaining people on this land from serfs to the average level of the Ming Dynasty in an instant.

Nanyang, governed by Han Xiufen and Hong Chengchou, have always been profitable units. Unfortunately, as these two places entered the process of public security and appeasement, their ability to pay state funds has also been declining.

Therefore, the economic situation of the Lantian Dynasty in China for five years was a mess.

It’s not that there is a shortage of money. The Lantian Dynasty has long passed the era of shortage of money. The issuance of silver notes has solved this problem. As long as Yun Zhao wants money, he can get much money.

However, doing so was of little use to the people of the Ming Dynasty. In a highly self-sufficiency society, the demand for the people was not high, which easily led to overproduction.

Yun Zhao’s most urgent task now is to explore new markets and cultivate old markets so that he can continue to move forward with this eldest empire.

The important task of opening up the market was handed over to Han Xiufen. It just so happened that India is also a big mainland with a large population, making it an extremely rare place to dump goods.

With this dumping place, Yun Zhao felt that he could stimulate the needs of the people in the country by expanding the city, then readjust the domestic production structure, completely complete the economic transformation of the Ming Dynasty, the old empire, and rejuvenate him with enough vitality.
