Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Shishi is already used to Tong Yuan's attitude.

    He has visited many local officials of the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of them are just like Tong Yuan. On the surface, they are quite respectful to him, but in fact, their eyes reveal contempt and contempt.

    Although I am now the right prime minister of Ning State, with a high position of power, the prime minister of a country, and assisting the king, it can be regarded as realizing the highest ideal of a scholar.

    But after all, he did not come from a serious imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. He was not even an examiner, let alone a disciple of the emperor. Therefore, he was always looked down upon by those who took the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty.

    In this regard, Li Shishi was also very helpless.

    But there is no other way, because this is a scholar.

    ¡°I¡¯m really flattered that the Prime Minister came here in person.¡±

    Tong Yuan smiled and chatted with Li Shishi.

    "Master Tong is a great pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also a disciple of Liu Gong. If you come to the West, our country, Ning, will naturally welcome you with a grand ceremony."

    Li Shishi smiled and guided Tong Yuan.

    Soon, the two of them got on the four-wheeled carriage and headed to Xiyang City. Prince Ning had some properties in Xiyang City, including his own manor, shop, mansion, etc., which was more than enough to accommodate Tong Yuan.

    Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Tong Yuan looked at the Western City in front of him with interest.

    ?? Xiyang City is a city built after the Western United Trading Company occupied Sri Lanka, and the Governor-General's Palace of Sri Lanka is also located here. Although the occupation was not long, Xiyang City is already quite large.

    Neatly planned, straight cement roads extend in all directions. On both sides of the road are high-rise buildings, large and small shops and businesses of all kinds, and a variety of icons and advertisements.

    The streets are busy with traffic and people coming and going, and it is very prosperous.

    ¡°Xiyang United Trading Company is really well run.¡±

    Tong Yuan couldn't help but admire. Along the way, he had seen many big cities and ports. This Western City could be ranked in the top five. The roads were very spacious and very clean and tidy.

    "Of course, Western United Trading Company is doing great right now~"

    Li Shishi also nodded solemnly and said with some emotion: "The Western United Trading Company is now the largest trading house in the entire Indian Ocean region. It not only monopolizes the gem business in Sri Lanka, but also occupies a large number of businesses in Tianzhu and the African continent.  colony."

    "In addition, the Western United Trading House is one of the largest slave traders in our Ming Dynasty. The number of slaves sold to our Ming Dynasty through the Western United Trading House every year exceeds one million."

    ¡°At the same time, they are also the largest cotton growers, rice, corn, sugar cane, and spice growers in Tianzhu. Their plantations are spread across every corner in Tianzhu and Sri Lanka.¡±

    "Relying on these, Western United Commercial Bank can obtain huge revenue of more than 100 million taels of silver every year, with profits exceeding 30%!"

    When he said this, Li Shishi's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

    "A profit of more than 30 million taels of silver a year?"

    When Tong Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes.

    This is an extremely huge number, almost equivalent to a quarter of Ming Dynasty¡¯s current annual treasury tax revenue.

    "Hmm~"

    "The Western United Trading Company was the first trading firm to enter the West. Their strength from the beginning was very large, and they were composed of many powerful businessmen, gentry, and large families."

    "After occupying Sri Lanka, we had a foothold. With vigorous development, our strength quickly became stronger. After that, we continued to attack the Tianzhu Continent northward and owned a huge colony on the Tianzhu Continent."

    Li Shishi nodded solemnly.

    The United Western Trading Company has almost unparalleled influence in the Indian Ocean region.

    Almost every vassal state and every colony has contacts with the Western United Trading Company, and the same is true for Ningguo. A large amount of business in Ningguo is almost all done in partnership with the Western United Trading Company. It is very clear about the strength of the Western United Trading Company.

    This is a truly huge business empire like a Big Mac.

    It is different from the vassal state established by the vassal king.

    When a vassal king established a vassal state, it was to establish his own country and dynasty. Although it was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually an independent country.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"However, the situation in northern Tianzhu and southern Tianzhu is different. The north has had a unified dynasty since ancient times, so the various places are more united."

    "Secondly, the northern region is the richest and most populous region in Tianzhu, and it is also the most advanced region. It is now ruled by the Lodi dynasty composed of Afghans and Turks. It is not easy to capture these places."

    Speaking of which, Li Shishi also set his sights firmly on the northern region of Tianzhu.

    In the whole of Tianzhu, the most fertile areas are in the Indus River Basin and Ganges River Basin in the north of Tianzhu. There is a huge population here, which means an endless supply of slaves.

    The land here is very flat and fertile, which means rich products and so on.

    Ning Guo has coveted these places for a long time, but he has never been able to take them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
