, This Ming Dynasty is too fierce

From north to south.

From the day of discovering the "Giant Kingdom", the "Qi Mingxing" began its own "boundary markers" journey. One by one, the stone stones were buried in the islands, and the cliffs on the coast and the cliffs on the coast also had "words of "legging the king".

From Giant Bay to Happiness Island, it is actually from the Biobio region of Chile in another world to Chiloe in Hu District, and from Happiness Island to the Strait of Magellan, their sailing is long because they have to constantly set boundary markers.

Perhaps, for the Spanish, this is the end of the world, while for the Ming Dynasty, this is the land at the end of the world. The meanings are similar, but the meanings are completely different. In the future, the immigrants from the Ming Dynasty can also be placed here, and they will settle and reproduce here.

After inserting both sides of the Magellan Strait into boundary markers, the Qimingxing, which sailed out of the strait, continued to head north, and their voyage did not end. Sun Zizhuang, Yunshan and the sailors on the ship did not know that a hundred years later, they were called the "Empire Blazers". In fact, what they did was similar, and their descendants were proud of it.

Now their mission is very simple to sail along the coastline. In places where Europeans did not have a landmark, they lay boundary markers. They do not even need to build any bases or trade with the surrounding indigenous peoples. They just lay boundary markers.

They even don’t know where they are going. But they are just adding place names to the map. These place names may come from the Shanhai Jing, or they may be a whim of crew members, or they may be because it looks a bit like somewhere in China.

In short, as they sailed, more and more places belonging to the Ming Dynasty were marked on the chart. In another time and space, cities such as "Riogayegos", "Rivadavian Brigadier General City", "Rosen" and other cities were buried on the boundary markers of the Ming Dynasty without exception.

The handwriting of craftsmen carved stone legong on the coastal mountains will also become a "miracle" that the natives in this area look forward to. They will eventually bathe in front of these legong traces and be taught by the Celestial Empire.

The boat, keep moving forward.

Soon the desolate coast was covered by lush rainforests, a Portuguese colony Brazil.

When we arrived at the "Qi Mingxing" at the door of others, we naturally settled a lot. Portugal, which had been in Brazil for more than a hundred years, did not leave much opportunity for the "Qi Mingxing" Portugal originally had only a few points along the coast in Brazil. Later, these points were along the line, from St. Louis at the northernmost end to Sao Paulo on the southeast coast, Portugal completely occupied Brazil's coastline.

However, for the sailors on the "Qi Mingxing", although there are many strongholds, this does not mean that they have more opportunities to get ashore. The leaders of the Portuguese colony are also warmly welcomed by these guests who come from afar. After all, the ship carries a large amount of silk fabrics and cotton cloth. In the world, the silk and cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty are comparable to gold and silver!

Especially for the Portuguese in the Brazilian colonies, they were also full of desire for silk, but in the past they could only get some from local or passers-by Spanish merchant ships. Now, there are no middlemen making a difference, and the origin is directly sold.

That was an excitement!

Even Bandeirantes, the leaders of slave hunters who captured slaves in the rain forest, ran out one after another. Such an opportunity was really rare.

El Salvador.

The capital of Portuguese Brazil, El Salvador means "savior" in Latin languages ​​such as Spain and Portugal. People use this name to name the capital, which shows their thoughts.

El Salvador has never been so lively. On the day the Qiming Star arrived here, the entire city of Salvador entered the festival celebration. Portuguese aristocrats who wanted to buy luxury goods were pouring from all directions to the capital in the northeast.

In Brazil, there are also nobles.

In 1530, in order to resist the invasion of the French, the Portuguese royal family decided to rectify the planning of the new colony in Brazil and consolidate their colonial rule. They sent the Portuguese noble Martin Sousa to Brazil with the order of "occupying and distributing the land there and establishing farms there" to build some cities led by El Salvador, and divided the coastal areas into 15 fiefdoms called "the captain's jurisdiction" and gave them to the Portuguese nobles in the form of hereditary inherited rulings and similar fiefs. In order to reduce the burden on the royal family, these nobles had to make their own resources to organize and open up their territory.

These nobles were rich, and they accumulated too much property through the mahogany trade. Brazil means mahogany in Portuguese. Brazilian wood is a type of mahogany, with a hard texture, which can extract fuel and is suitable for shipbuilding. It not only exports large quantities of European products as dyes, but also exports to the Ming Dynasty in large quantities. After all, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty always had a special liking for mahogany furniture. They even used mahogany to build ships, then filled with mahogany to sail to the Ming Dynasty, and then sold the ships and wood to merchants in the Ming Dynasty.

Although these nobles who were enfeoffed in Brazil accumulated a large amount of property through the mahogany trade, they were far away from Europe and did not have much opportunity to spend money!

They are typical of them rich, and they are rich people who have no place to spend money.

Port of El Salvador.

A Portuguese sailing ship was about to enter the port, and the captain respectfully reported to the nobles:

"Master, we're entering Hong Kong now."

"Very good. After entering the port, you can immediately find out where the Chinese ship is?"

The noble master said happily.

The nobleman was named Sarinando de Martin, and his noble title was only a baron. He ruled the southern Saint Viagra in the jurisdiction of fifteen captains. It was the largest captain in Brazil, and it was the state of Sao Paulo hundreds of years later.

In the past century, even though his ancestors did not manage their land seriously, from the day he took over the family, he worked hard to recruit immigrants while sending slave hunting teams to go deep into the rainforest to capture indigenous slaves, driving them to cut down rainforests, plant sugarcane, and cut down redwoods, and the income in the territory naturally doubled.

Today, Saint Viagra has long been one of the richest areas in Brazil, and he himself is also the richest noble in Brazil. However, even though he has accumulated a lot of wealth, he does not have much opportunity to spend money. The luxury goods brought by merchants from Lisbon are all the rags left after being selected by the Lisbon nobles. Not to mention the expensive sale of the second traders, more importantly, they are all out of date.

And this time, after hearing that a Ming merchant ship arrived in El Salvador, he immediately made a decision to go to El Salvador to buy a dozen Ming silk goods.

Wear one piece and hang one piece.

I will give my wife a few pieces, and the mistresses will give me one more. No, I will prepare a few more pieces to avoid them being jealous and fighting for a few pieces of clothes...

It should be much cheaper to make a difference without a middleman. In fact, he is not short of that little money at all. He doesn't care whether it is cheap or not. What's important is that these are real Chinese goods.

Even though many merchants brought Chinese goods to Madrid in the past, who knew whether the Chinese goods they brought were from China, India, or Tianfang. Many so-called Chinese goods were just fakes produced by some Orientals. Those profiteers were just fakes that were relied on such fakes to make money.

Now, these Chinese people bring real Chinese goods! Such opportunities are hard to encounter even in Madrid.

Hurry up and finally, before the Ming Dynasty merchant ship left, Master Martin arrived in El Salvador.

On the same day, after finding out where the Chinese merchant ships were docked, Mr. Martin took more than a dozen slaves, carrying a box of gold coins and silver coins to buy things.

When he arrived, Mr. Martin was stunned. The market near the port was filled with nobles from all over the world, without exception, and they carried boxes of gold and silver coins. At this moment, their dress was all Chinese.

"Porcelain, this is the best porcelain in Jingdezhen. In China, the most popular among the gentlemen is this simple and elegant porcelain..."

"How many more, I'm inclusive!"

Without even waiting for the other party to respond, Martin heard a word that made him desperate.

"Damn it, these greedy guys, haven't they left me any good things?"

It was the old thing about Sarinando of Pernambuko! He actually wanted to buy it all!

no!

He can't take all the benefits alone.

Master Martin shouted immediately.

"I'm willing to increase the price by 20%, and sell it to me!"

Sarinando, who was about to pay the silver to put all the porcelain on, heard it and immediately said.

"How much does he add, I'll add another 10%!"

He has already made a clear problem with the price. If there is no middleman to make a difference, it would be a cheap price.

Not to mention 30% or 50% of them, it would be cheaper than the second-deaven dealers. Moreover, these things were brought by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and were good things used by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing someone raising the price there, Sun Zizhuang was speechless for a moment, and it took a long time to put it in:

"idiot!"

What kind of aristocratic goods are clearly the ordinary white porcelain they use on the ship. The cheapest one can buy a basket of one ounce of silver in the Ming Dynasty...

"Are really a bunch of local bullies..."

But, the country bumpkin is good!

Especially for such a country bumpkin who has never seen the world and is not short of money in his hands, it would be...the best. If you meet such a person, if you don't kill them twice.

That's really a pity to my ancestors, a pity to my descendants, and a pity to myself.

No, the knife needs to be ruthless... I muttered in my heart, and Sun Zizhuang quietly ordered his opponent.

"Go, add some price to everything..."
