Chapter 2735: The people support the emperor's war
The emperor did not celebrate the Spring Festival in 1672, but set sail in the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 1671, boarded a fast boat, and rushed to Europe.
At this time, the senior generals in Rising Sun City also set off earlier than him. They were very low-key this time, and they did not hold any warm farewell ceremony, but they were murderous, because when everyone held a military meeting, the emperor swore an arrow in public: " If you don’t settle the matter in Europe, you won’t return the army!”
The emperor's teeth are used as gold envoys, and there is a wish to export, which must be done.
All soldiers must be loyal to it and serve it with all their strength. The senior officers unanimously said: "Either you win or die!"
After the meeting, the emperor's will was conveyed to all parties in the empire. The army must actively respond, the people behind the scenes must fully cooperate, and funds, personnel, supplies, and arms must continue to follow up.
When the exact news came, the stock market of the Nanhua Empire grew red!
A large number of military stocks rose at the daily limit, and other stocks rose together, and the market index rose slowly, making stockholders everywhere beam with joy. Cheers to the emperor, and wish the empire victory!
It was really the sound of the cannon, golden ten thousand taels.
The Nanhua Empire is definitely a country that got rich by making "war fortune". Since the founding of the empire, it has expanded its territory and seized resources through continuous foreign wars. That's why the empire has expanded from a small island of Man in Taiwan to today. The scale of the empire on which the sun never sets, and the Nanhua Empire itself also made a fortune through wars, and reached the top to become the world's hegemon.
Due to its vast territory, large population, rich resources, and developed economy, the industrial scale and technological level of the Nanhua Empire have always been ranked first in the world. The country has an almost crushing advantage.
The only one who can confront the Nanhua Empire should be Xinming on the other side of the sea, but at present Xinming already thinks that his country is too large, and he can't even agree to the internal requests of North Korea and Annan, let alone launch a war to expand abroad.
"War wealth" is not just simple capital groups producing guns and ammunition for the national army and then making profits. The key is to destroy the country to make money.
The South China Empire turned Western Europe into a consumer market for imperial commodities by defeating foreign countries and then exporting its own capital and commodities to foreign countries. In this way, foreign countries obtained urgently needed funds and commodities, and the empire incorporated foreign countries into its own economic system. .
As for the reconstruction of foreign countries, how big a piece of "cake" is, I believe you all know it well.
Wherever it went, Nanhua poured goods to foreign countries, mainly including fine salt, sugar, rum, cigarettes/cigars, black tea, tin foil and tinware (Nanhua is located in Southeast Asia, with a lot of tin), military equipment, glass, clocks, metals Products, etc., among which fine salt, sugar, rum, and cigarettes/cigars were the hard currency for export at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which provided a large amount of tax revenue for the Nanhua Empire. After industrial upgrading, a large number of various metal products were exported, including clocks and guns. Cannons can be regarded as metal products, and the exported metal products also include a lot of gold ingots and silver bars. Because the gold and silver processing technology of the Nanhua Empire is advanced and the purity is high, all countries in the world like Nanhua's gold and silver.
In Sri Lanka and the Assam region of India, Chinese businessmen bought a large amount of land at low prices to grow black tea. If the landlords did not pay the low price, they would kill them and force them to buy and sell. However, because the South China people do not like to drink black tea and have to import green tea from Xinming, Xinming tea merchants have been compensated to a certain extent.
Xinming's export commodities have less conflict with Nanhua. Xinming exports tea, silk and porcelain, as well as paper, books, earthen cloth, tea, medicine and various daily necessities. Zhonghua has a huge income and dumps commodities to foreign countries, such as ordinary white sugar from Nanhua The quality is good, and the price shipped to India is lower than the local soil sugar. How can the poor Indians compete!
The same is true for other commodities. Countries often use gold and silver, as well as luxury goods such as treasures, spices, medicinal materials, etc., as well as local products and raw materials. For example, Annan exported rice and lumber to Xinming, and Nanhua also imported wood. Most of them are Cantonese, and they ate up all the pangolins in the Annan field!
In addition, the Nanhua Empire also contracted infrastructure projects abroad, including roads, dams, bridges and houses, making a lot of money.
Different from the traditional pavilions and pavilions in the Xinming Dynasty, Nanhua built masonry and steel buildings, which are more durable and durable, so they are very popular.
The merchants of the Nanhua Empire licensed the production of cement, manufactured high-quality steel bars, exported a large amount, and were supported by loans from the empire, making them very profitable.
Oh, foreign countries are not willing to let Nanhua businessmen contract business?
Well, do you not get paid for projects done in foreign countries?
Don't be ridiculous, the battleship formations of the empire swarmed and blocked the foreign territory from the sea. If you don't give money, you will trade your life for it!
The Nanhua Navy specializes in all kinds of dissatisfaction. The soldiers immediately changed jobs and became pirates. It was a seamless connection. Those old pirates in the navy were not dead yet. Every foreign country will regret why they didn't give money!
Nanhua businessmen liked the emperor very much. Although the tax collected by the emperor was higher than that of Ming Duoduo, there were more opportunities to make money. The emperor also strictly controlled officials not to reach out to them.
Through war, the South China Empire brought countries all over the world into its own economic system and became its own raw material supply market or consumer market, making a fortune in war.
Nowadays, the paper money of the Nanhua Empire is widely used as hard currency for foreign exchange, and the Nanhua paper money is pegged to silver to establish a "silver standard system". UU Reading www.uukanshu.com currently has a stable currency market, and the Nanhua Empire has gained currency hegemony!
It can be said that the right to mint coins made it easier for the goods and services of the Nanhua Empire to enter other countries. The Nanhua people made a lot of money, so they naturally highly supported the emperor to go to war. They actively bought war bonds and sent their children to join the army.
Yan Changwu is smart. He always insists on profiting from foreign trade, and uses quick wars to maximize the interests of the empire. He knows very well that once the war drags on for too long, there will be problems in the empire's industrial chain. Risk of economic paralysis. For the empire, protracted war is very scary, so he avoided protracted war and gave the empire a chance to recover blood.
He has a good grasp of the rhythm, and used various means on the battlefield, such as first-class generals, strong soldiers, excellent equipment and superior supplies, paying attention to field medical treatment and establishing a complete special care system, etc., so that the current situation is chaotic. Great, the people strongly support the emperor's war. This kind of atmosphere also has a great impact on the morale of the army. The officers and soldiers are full of confidence that they will win!
Seeing a boat on the pier with young soldiers wearing red flowers on their hulls and waving their arms and shouting, and seeing the people warmly seeing off the soldiers, Carlson, the Swedish ambassador to the South China Empire, who came to watch the wind, was secretly shocked, and felt sorry for France and Europe. And worry!
