The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 986: Trade revives

The convention includes 16 main contents, which set out detailed regulations on the rescue of distressed sea-going vessels, inland river vessels, and remuneration.

The Convention stipulates that contracting parties are obliged to search and rescue ships and persons in distress in other countries, provide necessary assistance, and, as permitted by the laws and regulations of each country, should approve rescue units of other contracting states to search for the location of a shipwreck and rescue persons in distress. Enter or cross its territorial sea or territory immediately.

The supplementary provisions of the Convention stipulate the organization of search and rescue, cooperation between countries, preparation measures for search and rescue, working procedures and ship reporting system.

The Convention emphasizes the promotion of humanitarianism. Over the years, the maritime power of the southeast countries has expanded, and various types of ships have increased. However, to the vast sea, they are only a drop in the ocean. Sometimes ships are in distress in their own waters. It happens that there is a red-haired fan next to it. The Maofan ship rescued in accordance with the International Convention on Maritime Rescue and received corresponding remuneration, which is good for everyone.

After the two parties finally reached an agreement, they set a drink to celebrate. Mr. Carl and Yang Tiansheng clinked glasses and said with emotion: "Mr. Yang, you are a difficult opponent to deal with!"

Yang Tiansheng changed his previous rigidity and became lively and said: "Mr. Carl, thank you for coming and sending the money. I have always held a very respectful attitude towards the good fortune boy!"

He said haha, "No one will have trouble with money!"

"There are still people who can't live with money!" said Mr. John Lonsdale, a British man.

"Who?" Yang Tiansheng asked curiously.

"You!" said Mr. John Lonsdale: "Mr. Yang, you didn't accept our kindness!"

Yang Tiansheng smiled and said, "You can't get some money!"

The friendly trade agreement between the Southeastern countries and the East India Company of the various countries was reported to the Southeastern court and implemented after it was passed. As a result, the Hong Maofan merchant ship returned to Southeast Asia, Daming, India, Persia, Japan, Annan, and Central South...

Things are not people, they are passers-by, and they are no longer masters!

Although resentful, as Yang Tiansheng said: "No one will have trouble with money!"

If they can't get it, then they have to do trade. The ramblings work hard to transport goods from the East back to the West, and retransport the goods between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to make a difference in the price.

Trade is prosperous again, and exchanges between the East and the West are frequent again.

Due to the changes in the trade pattern, the development of Hong Maofan in Africa and the Americas has increased, making those places more prosperous.

There are several main trade routes in the world. One is the "black triangle trade". European slave traders set out from their country to load salt, cloth, glass products, rum, etc., and then change into slaves in Africa and pass along the so-called "central route." In the Atlantic, it was replaced by sugar, tobacco, and rice in the Americas. In western Europe, near the Gulf of Guinea in Africa, and between the West Indies in the Americas, the routes are roughly triangular in shape. Because the trafficked people are black races, it is also called "black triangle trade."

The other route is the sambal after purchasing goods from the east and returning to Europe along the coast of Africa. The other route is the galleon route, where a galleon filled with cargo departs from Luzon to the Americas and then back to Europe.

Connecting East and West through sea ships, the world has never been so close!

The Eastern civilization currently seems to be slamming the Western civilization. The Chinese in Daming and Southeastern countries are so hard-working, coupled with their wisdom, their products occupy the mainstream of world trade, and naturally they have gained a trade surplus status.

For example, the Chinese minors, India, and the four central and southern countries, relying on their rich natural resources to trade with the Chinese, and export their populations to serve as labor.

Hong Maofan did not have such conditions. Although they sold some white women to China, they were far from balancing trade.

The Spaniards are better. They have silver mines in their homes and they can use blacks to mine. The cost is low and payment is not a problem.

The Portuguese, Dutch, British and even the French are vying to dig gold in Ghana, the Gold Coast;

Mozambique, this Portuguese territory, where copper and gold are produced, there are many good sharks in the northern waters, and they export shark fins to the Chinese. Anyway, they have Cantonese. As long as the four-legged ones are not chairs, the Cantonese will eat it. To make matters worse, the Cantonese have inspired the entire Chinese atmosphere, and the Chinese eat everything.

The Chinese like jade, but since the crowns given to their wives and concubines by the Chinese leaders in the southeast are all set with diamonds, the diamonds of the Congo are very popular.

The Orchid Fans even entered Mali, which is rich in gold.

In order to get more gold, Hong Maofan was looking everywhere, getting closer and closer to the super gold giant mine in South Africa...

In addition, the Orthodontidae also developed in the Americas. In 1545, the Potosí silver mines in Peru and Bolivia were discovered. In just a few years, the amount of silver produced by this known as the world's most abundant silver mine has exceeded more than half of the world's silver production at that time.

In addition to Potosí, Mexico's Zacatecas, Guadalajara and other silver mines and some famous gold mines have also been mined. Large amounts of low-cost precious metals from the Americas have flowed into Spain since the 16th century.

Before the arrival of American gold and silver, the total precious metal stocks in Europe as a whole were about 2,000 tons of gold and 20,000 tons of silver.

The discovery of mines in the Americas has greatly improved the situation. According to official conservative data, from 1521 to 1600, the mines in Peru and Mexico produced 18,000 tons of silver and 200 tons of gold, and they poured into Spain in a “legal” way. Entering several important countries in Western Europe through various channels, a lot of silver eventually reached the eastern end of silver through trade.

In addition, there is also the Suriname gold mine, and Sasquatch has also discovered gold, silver, and copper mines in Argentina, as well as gold from Brazil and Colombia.

One thing sold for a lot of money, Chilean saltpeter, and sambal were shipped in wooden barrels to the southeastern country. They were used to make black powder and top-dressing the land, and they were very popular among the Chinese.

In order to make money, the British, Dutch, and French began to grow American ginseng in North America and sell it to China.

They even fought with the Indians in order to kill the cattle, the American bison, and kill them. The horns, cowhide, and dried beef can all be sold to the Chinese.

Four catties of raw beef can be turned into one catty of beef jerky, so the ingredients of beef jerky on a certain treasure less than 100 yuan are suspicious. American bison is game, and beef jerky is very popular for export to China. A stable customer is the two Chinese military , They ordered a large amount of bison beef jerky to feed the officers!

It also includes North American deer, horns and meat, and weird jerky beasts. The Chinese eat anything anyway!

...

Perhaps it was the unfortunate incident that occurred in the trade between the East and the West that caused the Chinese, the sambal fans, and even the people of other countries to have a relationship. Everyone is very active in promoting trade.

Tax reduction, pirate blows, control of customs officials, and rapid export of products... An obvious example is that palm oil in Southeastern countries has doubled in recent years and is in short supply. It has a wide range of uses and can be used as kerosene. , Can also be used as food.

In the eastern seaport, palm oil and petroleum mixed oil produced in southeastern countries are often used for lighting, and it is not a problem to work at night.

The use of this lamp oil for lighting is also popular on the streets of cities.

Soon, many large ports on the east coast of Africa also used palm oil and oil mixed oil lamps.

In order to transport oil, the Chinese ships are far from enough. A large number of cargo ships are needed for ramblings. The news spread to the West, and the speed of Dutch man-made ships has soared, and the same is true for other countries.

The ramblings are still working very hard. They have completely opened up global trade routes and can quickly sail by using monsoons and ocean currents. A skilled and energetic British captain, starting from the mainland, the fastest is to reach Southeast Asia within two months. !

Of course, the path he took is more dangerous, and the road roaring the westerly zone is inevitable.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the oriental market monopolized raw silk, textiles, porcelain, tea, cotton cloth, sugar, and medicinal materials, while Europeans mainly used gold, silver and copper to pay for the goods.

Tea is popular in the West!

At first, tea was very expensive. A pound of tea cost 80 guilders, which was equivalent to one-third of the annual salary of a Dutch teacher, but by 1655, a pound of medium-priced tea only needed 2 guilders, a low-grade one. Tea is cheaper, and ordinary Dutch people can afford it.

Such a low price indicates that a large amount of tea was transported from the East to the West, and the early Chinese visitors ~lightnovelpub.net~the voyager Hong Xiguan left to the Netherlands with the tenth quality standard of the tea that was still reserved for the rich and wealthy people in the Netherlands. Good tea, ordinary people drink ordinary tea, and poor people drink brick tea and tea dregs.

Oriental medicinal materials are not easy to produce, and they are still expensive to reach the West. However, most European dignitaries go to traditional Chinese medicine instead of western medicine.

For example, for a cold, taking Yuxiang Zhengqi pills of Chinese medicine is far more effective than bloodletting in western medicine!

Also, the use of Liumaidi Huangwan is "Chinese Viagra", which can help those European dignitaries who are singing every night to restore their strength and show their glory!

...

"We are not slow to spend money, but the rate of fiscal revenue is faster. If this money is not used, money is not money!" Chen Zhongji, the prime minister of the Southeastern countries, said: "If you buy arms, you are going to fight!"

The army has received a large amount of munitions and is ready to use them.
