- ¡°This is really a good proposal!¡±
Although Dongfang Yue lamented the ruthlessness of Duke Colster, he had to say that this was really a good plan to make a fortune.
There are three main incomes from the colony. One is the valuables produced in the colony, such as gold, silver, diamonds, ivory, pearls, jade, agate, pearls, etc.
These are very valuable and very popular in countries around the world. The value of a colony is often closely related to the output of the colony. The value of colonies with gold mines and colonies without gold mines is very different.
The second income mainly comes from the agricultural output of the colonies, such as the spices that Europeans need. In the past, when the Portuguese first opened up the Indian Ocean route, the spices brought back from Tianzhu could be obtained dozens or even hundreds of times. profit.
In addition, the establishment of large plantations in the colonies to grow food, sugar cane, rubber, etc. is also one of the benefits of the colonies.
The third benefit is the most important benefit of the colony, that is, slaves. The demand for slaves is very strong around the world.
The demand for slaves is not only very strong in the Ming Empire, but also among the Arabs in the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire in West Asia, the Persian Empire, and the Europeans.
Among the many trading places in the Mediterranean, the slave trade has been the most important and most profitable trade since ancient times, with a very long history.
Slaves in colonies are often very cheap. Sometimes you can exchange a little for a lot of slaves. If you change hands casually, the profits are astonishing. Although some colonies do not have gold and silver, they have a large number of slaves, which brings The income is higher than mining gold and silver.
牺如 bxwx.co 牺如。Among all kinds of slaves, the most valuable slave is the white slave. This is mainly due to the It is related to the aesthetics of Eastern people. Not only the Ming Dynasty people like white slaves, but Koreans and Japanese people also like white slaves.
Male white slaves are tall and strong, and are perfect for doing physical work. These slaves are most needed in plantations. As for female white slaves, whether they are used as partners in bed or used for work, they are obviously very useful. Not bad.
The price of white slaves in the market has always been very high, with a white slave costing dozens of taels of silver. The profits were so huge that both the Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Khanate gained a lot of wealth by plundering white slaves.
In addition, the Republic of Venice in Mediterranean Italy also made huge profits by relying on various deception and deception methods, and its hands cramped counting the money.
"If pirates plundered the coastal areas of Western Europe, they would probably be able to obtain extremely generous profits by just plundering these white slaves, and by the way, they could also attack the Western European countries that supported the pirates, killing two birds with one stone.
Such a vicious plan made Dongfang Yue unable to help but take another look at Duke Colster.
"Mr. Dongfang, are you interested in my proposal?"
Colster saw Dongfang Yue showing great interest and asked with a smile.
For Kolster, he has no psychological burden at all. It was you who were the first to be shameless and dirty, and used third-rate pirate methods to attack Spain. Then don¡¯t blame Spain for using the same method to deal with you.
England, in particular, has always been synonymous with pirates. Their king issued privateering licenses to pirates and participated in dividing the spoils. However, they did such dirty behavior without any shame.
The French are not much better. They have played tricks on the Spaniards over and over again. They originally agreed to attack Italy together, but after they defeated it, they wanted to monopolize it. They claim to be the boss of Europe every day, but they always do some despicable things.
"Of course I'm interested~"
"In the words of the Duke, since they are rogues, then we must be even more rogues!"
Dongfang Yue replied thoughtfully.
At present, the Japanese country has only three colonies in West Africa, and the profits are acceptable. However, because of the pirates, it has powerful warships and troops in its hands, but it has never been able to expand aggressively and obtain more profits.
This is not in the interest of Japan.
To be honest, the fleet in my hands was led by the Japanese king and was saved by cutting back on food and clothing, hoping to gain more colonies and gain more revenue to support the domestic and shogunate struggles.
After all, the Japanese kings were very poor from the beginning. Even when the previous Japanese kings died, they didn¡¯t have the money to bury them decently. It was different here with the shogunate. Money was all they had from the beginning, occupying the most important areas.??East Asia has always been very stable. The pirates have long been wiped out by the Ming Empire's navy. Therefore, the North Korean navy has nothing to do. It is estimated that this time it was sent to West Africa. ¡±牺如 lingshufang.com 牺如
"North Korea Navy!"
Hearing Real's words, Duke Kolster's frown deepened. It was really a wave of ups and downs. He was thinking about what to do with these pirates. Unexpectedly, the Persians and Koreans joined together again. Without saying a word, they directly began to seize their own colonial stronghold.
¡°It¡¯s really a mess now, a complete mess~¡±
"If the Persians and Koreans get together, and there is a powerful Korean navy, we will be really in trouble."
"It's pirates, Persians and Koreans. We're attacking from both sides."
Kolster stood up and began to walk back and forth, constantly thinking about countermeasures.
"Humph~"
"The reason why the Persians and Koreans are so arrogant is not because of the navy in the hands of North Korea. Maybe we should let the Koreans know how powerful our Spaniards are and let them know the pain, so that they don't dare to be unscrupulous."
"As for the Persians, without the Korean warships, they may have thought too much if they want to gallop on the West African continent. Once they go deep into the interior, various diseases will be enough to completely defeat the Persians. "Mihe75zhongwen.com Mi
"Send my order to prepare for a sneak attack on North Korea's Yanshan Port!"
