Chapter 366 Mission

This is no joke.

Compared with squeezing oil and water from the natives of Southeast Asia, the Western and Eastern barbarians obtained greater benefits from China and the Japanese.

China’s porcelain, silk, tea and other products are in absolute demand in Europe and Europe. Goods worth one tael of silver here will appreciate at least twenty times when shipped to Europe.

There was also raw silk - the Japanese and Japanese had a huge demand for raw silk at this time, and the profits contained in this item alone amounted to tens of millions of taels of silver every year. All the barbarians in the West and the West are doing this business - smuggling and buying raw silk from southeastern China, and then transporting it to Japan for sale. You can earn more than ten times the profit in just a short period of time.

But this is all yesterday's news.

With the establishment of the Daxia Empire and the blockade of sea frontiers, all legal and illegal trade came to an abrupt end.

This had little impact on the Daxia Empire itself, but it had a huge impact on the Western and Western barbarians and Japanese Japanese.

During the six months since the founding of Daxia, the hearts of all the Western barbarians in Nanyang were on fire.

They had to go through missionaries to get a feel for the Daxia Empire.

However, it was not until now that Tang Ruowang and others could see Ying Yi.

And until they left the palace, they didn't get a clear answer from Ying Yi.

After walking out of the Meridian Gate, Tang Ruowang and Ai Julius exhaled in unison, and their energy level dropped a lot in an instant.

"The majesty of Daxiazi is really unbearable." Ai Julius looked a little pale and talked to Tang Ruowang in Spanish: "I seem to be facing a living god, the power of the god is like a prison!"

Tang Ruowang was silent for a moment and said: "Compared with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Da Xiazi is completely different. It only took him a few years from his rise to own such a huge empire. It is incredible. He has great influence on us. Some misunderstandings, there seems to be no good intentions.”

Ai Julius sighed: "There is an old saying in Daxia, which is called 'One emperor, one courtier'. We can be like a fish in water in the Ming Dynasty, but in Daxia... we must make the emperor have a good impression of us, otherwise... ..”

Tang Ruowang shook his head: "I have read their history books. The founding emperors of each of their dynasties were not ordinary figures. They were determined and unshakable. It seems that it will be difficult for us to fulfill the instructions of the Governor of Batavia. .”

Ajulius also sighed: "It is not easy to meet. We have stated the request of the Governor of Batavia to the Emperor of Great Xia. Whether we can get an accurate answer, I am afraid that the Governor of Batavia will have to use the Spanish Send envoys to negotiate in the name.”

...

After meeting the Thai and Western missionaries, Ying Yi was alone in the imperial study room meditating.

Although he had expected it before, he had not thought carefully about the impact that some of the empire's policies had on the Western Yi.

But this has nothing to do with Ying Yi. But it prompted Ying Yi to have more ideas and insights about some of the empire's policies.

Since the army crossed the river, Jiangnan has also been subject to large-scale purges. The targets of the purge are bad businessmen and evil gentry. And in the previous dynasty, how many people who started out as smugglers didn’t have blood on their hands? Even Ying Yi's in-laws, the Zheng family, were also engaged in the smuggling business. It's just that it's not that harsh, and because of the relationship here, I ignore it. Most of the others were purged.

Coupled with the blockade of sea areas, smuggling and maritime trade were completely banned.

This had almost no impact on the Daxia Empire itself. During the previous dynasty, due to the huge profits from smuggling, the handicraft industry in Jiangnan developed rapidly, which affected agriculture. Jiangnan was originally a land of plenty, but with the expansion of the smuggling trade, many farmlands were replanted with cash crops such as mulberry and hemp. This was the biggest reason why the late Ming Dynasty was difficult and could not mobilize too much food from the south of the Yangtze River.

The Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Ming Dynasty. The implementation of the land policy and the purge of bad businessmen and evil gentry brought the smuggling handicraft industry in Jiangnan back to its original shape in an instant. The key is that Ying Yi has no plans for foreign trade for the time being - Great Xia is in ruins, and the people are getting rich rapidly, and internal needs are far from being met, so how can we talk about external trade?

For example, raw silk, finished silk, tea, porcelain, etc. were all smuggled out in the past to make profits. While smuggling traders were banned, the people in the area became richer and richer. People in many areas that developed earlier, such as Henan, Gyeonggi, and many resettlement villages, were already qualified to purchase these products for their own use.

However, there are not many products on the market.

To open up foreign trade, at least until the commercial activities that have been suppressed and purged flourish again, and until domestic demand is satisfied to a certain extent, Ying will have targeted plans for foreign trade.

At this time, the people outside were burning like fire, while Daxia was sitting as steady as a mountain.

Ying Yi can be sure that if they don't get a clear response, even if Xiyi is not sure, they will not hesitate to fight. Because the interests involved are really too great. Even if there is only one in 10,000 chance of winning, they will try.

Robbers are always taking risks.

And this is what Ying Yi wants to see. And he has long been prepared to reclaim China's interests in the entire East.

Whether Japan and Japan, Nanyang, the entire South Vietnam Peninsula, and the vast maritime territory, are all Ying Yi's set goals.

Even if the barbarians in Western Tai are unwilling to fight, Ying Yi will take the initiative to fight them.

He would not give them the response they wanted. The Great Xia Empire was not the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Foreign trade can be done, but not now, let alone through the hands of others. The benefits obtained by the Western Yi in Nanyang should have belonged to Daxia China. This has been done since ancient times and there is no doubt about it. Don’t give away even a cent of profit!

Europa?

Big voyage?

All of this will end in Ying Yi's hands!

...

The impact of Daxia's maritime blockade policy gradually became apparent. First, a European missionary conveyed the plea of ​​the Governor of Batavia, and soon afterwards, Japanese envoys came to the DPRK.

The Japanese-Japanese mission was led by Tokugawa Mitsutomo, the son-in-law of the contemporary Japanese shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu, and accompanied by hundreds of people. They landed in Dagu on a warship from the Shandong Naval Theater and presented their credentials.

The Japanese and Japanese countries have already entered the shogunate era. Since Toyotomi Hideyoshi of the Manli period, Tokugawa Ieyasu took power in the shogunate and gained great power in the Japanese and Japanese countries.

The foreign trade center of Japan and Japan, Nagasaki, was monopolized by the Tokugawa shogunate.

In other words, Daxia's coastal defense policy directly affected the self-interests of those in power in Japan.

During the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, the Japanese invaded North Korea brazenly and fought a battle with the Ming Dynasty. Although they ended in defeat, their ferocity was undoubtedly revealed. But that battle also destroyed the Japanese and Japanese heritage.

The rise of the Daxia Empire was not unknown to the Japanese and Japanese. After all, it had been so long, especially when the fleet from the Shandong Naval Theater occasionally wandered along the Japanese and Japanese coasts. No matter how late it was, he should have known about it.
