In the palace of Ningguo¡¯s Anning City, King Ning was listening to Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng¡¯s report on Ningguo¡¯s treasury income last month.
"Your Highness, last month our Ningguo tax revenue reached 860,000 taels of silver. In addition, there was a large amount of tax revenue in kind such as grain, cloth, tea, spices, etc."
Li Shishi reported to King Ning with a smile on his face.
After these years of hard work, Ningguo is also thriving and developing very well. The income of Ningguo's treasury has also been growing continuously. It is as high as 860,000 taels of silver a month. After all, this year, it is almost tens of millions. Two silver dollars of tax revenue.
This is a huge amount of wealth. You must know that the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire have almost this number. The previous Ming Empire received only more than three million taels of silver in taxes a year. From here on It can be seen that Ningguo is indeed running a very good business and is worthy of being the number one vassal state now.
¡°Not bad, not bad~¡±
King Ning nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and he was in a pretty good mood.
?? This life of establishing a vassal state overseas and being the boss is not to mention how cool life is. Ningguo's business is booming, and his own private slave business is also booming.
The land in Tianzhu has been divided up by everyone, but on the African continent, Ningguo's land is also spreading deeper into the African continent.
Now Ningguo is powerful, has a huge territory, a large population, and a strong army. It is the first vassal state.
"Your Highness, news just came from Egypt. After the opening of the Egyptian canal, we can collect 1.5 million silver just by collecting money this month, and about 18 million taels of silver throughout the year."
While King Ning was smiling happily, a minister hurriedly came to report the news about the Egyptian Canal to King Ning.
"You can collect 18 million taels of silver just by sitting at the cash register in one year?"
When Prince Ning heard this, he immediately felt as if he had lost something most important.
¡°My king¡¯s 1 million shares of Egypt Canal stock~¡±
Then, Prince Ning couldn't help beating his chest and wailing.
At first, there were 1 million shares of Egyptian Canal shares in front of me, but I thought they were few and did not ask for them. Now these 1 million shares of Egyptian Canal shares are worth more than 200 million taels of silver. The key is that I can get a considerable sum of money every year from now on. Dividend income.
¡°1 million shares of Egypt Canal stock~¡±
"My king's 200 million taels of silver~"
King Ning beat his chest and stamped his feet, his intestines turned green with regret, and he suddenly felt unhappy.
Compared with 1 million shares of Egyptian Canal stock, this month's income of several hundred thousand taels of silver is just drizzle. You can earn a lot of money by selling slaves in a year, but you can only earn 200 million taels of silver in the Year of the Monkey. .
¡°Damn it, I really want to send troops to knock down Egypt~¡±
King Ning cursed and looked at Egypt on the map, his eyes spitting fire. It was obviously his minister Liu Yangzheng who was the first to propose the Egyptian canal, but he didn't get anything out of it.
At the junction of Eurasia and Europe, in the palace of Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Bayezid II was silently calculating his small treasury.
Since losing to the Ming Empire, not only has the Ottoman Empire lost all its money, but it has also owed huge war indemnities. It needs to pay five million taels of silver in war indemnities to the Ming Empire every year. This is a huge and The heavy burden made Bayezid II unable to breathe.
He wanted to tear up the agreement countless times and refuse the war reparations.
However, the Ming Empire is getting stronger and stronger. There are 200,000 troops stationed here in Nanyun Province, which have been eyeing the Ottoman Empire. The Black Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet have strictly intercepted the Ottoman Empire's maritime routes.
He has the confidence to face the entire European coalition, but he does not have the confidence to fight another war with the Ming Empire, because he clearly knows that if he loses to the Ming Empire again.
It is really possible that the Ottoman Empire will fall apart. Not only the Ming Empire, but also the Ottoman Empire and the Europeans will add insult to injury and wait to carve up the Ottoman Empire.
So even though the war compensation was huge, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Fortunately, the rise of the slave trade allowed the Ottoman Empire to take a breather.
The Ming Empire¡¯s continuous demand for slaves has caused the price of slaves to continue to rise, which has also made Austrian??¡±
"We asked them to transport some food and weapons and equipment to West Africa, but they asked for two million taels of silver. Why didn't they grab it~"
Ismaili was so angry that he was half dead.
The war between the Persian Empire and the Spanish Empire is still going on, and the fight for the West African colonies is in full swing. The coalition forces of the Persian Empire and North Korea cannot defeat Spain, and they are miserably suppressed.
Thinking that tens of thousands of his new troops might be in danger here in West Africa, Ismail I could not sleep well.
¡°You need money to buy a boat, you need money to buy weapons and equipment, you need money everywhere~¡±
Ismail I was really worried. Compared to the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire was in a more difficult situation. There were no objects to plunder, and there was no slave trade or trade. It relied on the domestic tax revenue and the sale of local specialties. How many silver do you have?
"Your Majesty, good news, good news~"
At this time, his teacher and prime minister Charland walked over with a smile on his face.
"The news just came from Egypt. After the Egyptian canal is opened to navigation, the Ming people estimate that the Egyptian canal can receive 18 million taels of navigation fees a year."
"The navigation fee of 18 million taels of silver?"
When Ismail I heard this, he immediately stood up and became energetic.
With such a huge amount of wealth, you can just sit back and collect money. How could such a good thing happen to the Egyptians? It makes me angry just thinking about it.

¡°I¡¯m really pissed off that Egypt can be so deceived by the world~¡±
