Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing the anxious look of the big guys, Liu Jin smiled in his heart.

    Sure enough, it has been the same since ancient times. No one can remain calm in the face of interests.

    Even the emperor is like this, let alone the palace ministers.

    When they heard that Liu Jin¡¯s shares in the Changlu Salt Farm were worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver, they became uneasy.

    In the past, everyone knew that Changlu Salt Farm made money, but everyone did not know how much money the Changlu Salt Farm was worth. Now, once it is listed, you can roughly know its value through the market value.

    To be honest, the current total market value of Changlu Salt Field is more than 300 million taels of silver. This market value is quite reasonable, because Changlu Salt Field is the largest salt trading house in Ming Dynasty. It has multiple large-scale salt fields at home and abroad in Ming Dynasty.  The salt produced not only meets the needs of the entire Ming Dynasty, but is even now being exported to all over the world.

    It can be said that they basically monopolized the salt trade in the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao did not want to make money from the mouths of the people.

    ¡°If the former unscrupulous salt dealers were allowed to operate it, it would be very easy to double the revenue and profits of the Changlu Salt Farm several times a year.

    It is no joke that the salt merchants in the past were the richest in the world. Common people could not afford to eat salt. A pound of salt cost dozens of pennies, which was almost equivalent to the previous day's income. How expensive is this salt?  One can imagine how rich those salt merchants were.

    When a commercial bank is listed, the value of the commercial bank is estimated through the stock price, which allows people to see the value of the commercial bank at once.

    The Changlu Saltworks is estimated to be more than 300 million, and even the emperor¡¯s eyes turned slightly red.

    ¡°It¡¯s all okay, all is okay~¡±

    ¡°The Tianjin Stock Exchange is in need of a large number of high-quality commercial banks to come forward for listing.¡±

    ¡°The funds that need to be raised for this Egyptian canal are very huge, and of course everyone is welcome to invest more.¡±

    Liu Jin smiled and replied to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

    "Your Majesty, gentlemen, regarding the Egyptian Canal, this is a major matter related to the global interests of our Ming Dynasty."

    "At the moment, the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt has signed a relevant treaty with our Ming Dynasty. However, there are also objections within Egypt, and the opponents are huge. I am afraid that they may block or destroy the construction of the Egyptian canal in the future.  I think our Ming Dynasty should make preparations in advance."

    Thinking of this, Liu Jin also discussed with Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Zhang Mao. Although there were only a few people, as long as they discussed it, it could basically be decided.

    "Um!"

    "I have also read Tong Yuan's memorial."

    "It's not just an internal matter in Egypt. In addition, on the Arabian Peninsula, the Ottoman Empire is also eyeing it and has always wanted to annex Egypt. If the canal is built, the benefits involved will be huge, and the Ottoman Empire will inevitably want to take it away.  This Egyptian canal.¡±

    "There is also the Red Sea area, where bandits are rampant and there are many thieves. They often rob and extort the merchants and ships of our Ming Dynasty King. Once the canal is built, there will be more ships and merchants passing by. The existence of these bandits will seriously affect our Ming Dynasty.  Business travel safety.¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded solemnly. He had read Tong Yuan's memorial and had a clear understanding of the situation in Egypt and some information about the African and Arab worlds far away from the Ming Dynasty.

    "Your Majesty, I think that our Ming Dynasty should station a large army permanently in the Red Sea and Arabian regions to exterminate bandits and protect the interests of my name. At the same time, it can also deter Egypt and make them act in accordance with the content of the agreement. If they want  If you dare to betray your trust, we don¡¯t mind using force to protect our Ming Dynasty¡¯s interests.¡±

    ¡°At the same time, it can also deter the Ottoman Empire. If they send troops to attack Egypt, at the critical moment, we can also support one or two to prevent Egypt from falling into the hands of the Ottoman Empire.¡±

    Zhang Mao was the first to stand up. As the representative of the Military General Xungui Group, of course he had to take the lead.

    Since the end of the war with the Ottoman Empire, the army of the Ming Empire has not fought for nearly two years. This is not good. They must find something to do, even if it is to wipe out bandits.

    "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Zhang said is true~"

    ¡°The Egyptian Canal is of great importance, it involves our Ming Dynasty¡¯s global interests, and it requires an investment of 20 million taels of silver. The investment is huge and there is absolutely no room for failure. We must be fully prepared.¡±In a barbarian land, the local indigenous people are extremely backward and have low combat effectiveness. Only the Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula have good combat effectiveness.  "

    "So I think there is no need to send too many troops. It is enough to send 20,000 army troops and 3,000 navy troops to garrison these areas."

    "The army will be stationed at the mouth of the Red Sea to the north of Mugu Dushu. It can deter the bandits in the Red Sea area, and it can go to East Africa to support the vassal states and colonies."

    ¡°You can also go to Tianzhu to the east to support the vassal states in the Tianzhu area, and you can also deter the Ottoman Empire and Persian Empire in the Persian Gulf area to the north.¡±

    Liu Jin thought about it and suggested.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    But there is no problem at all if more than 20,000 people are stationed here.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
