- "coffee?"
When Simon heard Brown's words, he immediately looked at the large ships. These large ships were new steamships, huge in size, and several large smoke pipes were emitting black smoke at this moment.
"Coffee is the seed of a plant. It is fried and ground and then brewed with water or milk. It tastes slightly bitter but has a fragrant aroma."
Brown once again explained in detail: "It originated from the East African Plateau of Chu State. The local indigenous people discovered that coffee can refresh themselves, so they consumed it and slowly turned it into a drink."
"This kind of ship is called a steamship?"
Simon¡¯s attention at this time has been completely attracted by the steamship. He had already seen one when he came here, and now he has seen a few more, and he also asked about it.
"Yes, steamship~"
"It is a new type of ship that uses a steam engine's wheeled propeller to provide power. It is very fast. It is much faster than a traditional sailboat. Especially when going against the wind or against the current, its speed is faster. "
"The carrying capacity is astonishing. One such large steam ship can carry more than several large treasure ships."
"It is said that the cost of building such a large steam ship alone exceeds 200,000 taels of silver. Currently, only a large shipyard in the Ming Dynasty can manufacture such a large steam ship."
Brown also often reads newspapers and knows something about this kind of ship.
"Steam engine?"
"A ship costs two hundred thousand taels of silver?"
When Simon heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
" Two hundred thousand taels of silver is just a ship. Although the Jews are good at doing business and are synonymous with wealth in Europe, it seems that it is really not enough in front of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
This Ming man needs 200,000 taels of silver for one ship. I am afraid no one knows how many ships there are in the entire Ming Empire. How much silver the Ming Empire's shipbuilding industry alone can create in a year is probably an astronomical figure. .
"A steam engine is a machine that uses steam to provide power. We can also see many steam cultivators and harvesters here in Chixia City. They came from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. They are very efficient. People can sit on the machines Up there, you can control the machines to plow and harvest.¡±
"In addition, there are several steam rice mills and steam flour mills here in Chixia City. They also use steam engines to drive machines to grind rice and flour. The speed is very fast and the efficiency is extremely high."
This time 7 5zwz.*com Zhang Si. 24378 There are all kinds of machines driven by steam here in the mainland, and labor in the Ming Dynasty is very expensive. To hire a Ming person, you need to pay at least five silver dollars per month, and you have to pay for food and accommodation."
"Therefore, the local businesses and factories in Daming prefer to use more machines to do things. The efficiency is high, the cost is relatively low, and the quality of the products produced is more reliable."
"It is said that steam engines are also used to drive something called a train, which can travel thousands of miles in a day. I heard that it has been built from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the westernmost Hezhong area."
"We in Ningguo heard that His Highness Prince Ning is also planning to build a railway from Anning City to Delhi in Northern Tianzhu. There is no plan to build a railway in Chixia City for the time being. The cost is too high. I heard that any railway They all require tens of millions of taels of silver."
Brown knows a lot of things and is also very talkative. He talks endlessly about many things in Ming Dynasty.
"The local labor force in the Ming Dynasty is so expensive. Doesn't this mean that the income of the people of the Ming Dynasty can reach dozens of silver dollars a year?"
Simon listened carefully, calculated carefully, and immediately exclaimed.
He is very aware of the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty silver dollar.
A piece of silver dollar from the Ming Dynasty is enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family in Europe for half a year. This Ming Dynasty person can actually earn dozens of silver dollars a year. Such an income is really terrifying.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This is the lowest level of people in the Ming Dynasty, if you look at the current income level in Europe, they are definitely rich people.
"With dozens of silver dollars a year here in Europe, that is the standard for wealthy people, and one can live an extremely wealthy life.
"A few dozen silver dollars is a very common income. If you have some skills or know how to run a small business, you can easily earn a few hundred silver dollars a year."
"There are a large number of people in the Ming Dynasty??, you get a lot of slaves. The government here in Ningguo even encourages you to create humans. The more children you have, they will reward you. If you give birth to a child, you will be rewarded with a piece of land. If you give birth to a group of children, you will be rewarded with a large piece of land. They all belong to your family.
And this is only part of the benefits that people in Ming Dynasty can enjoy.
They also have the privilege of being tax-free for several years and farming land without paying taxes. In all other aspects, the people of Ming Dynasty have priority, and everyone else must give priority to people of Ming Dynasty.
This time z.co*m Zhang Si. Just like in front of me, when everyone else was waiting in a long queue to buy rice dumpling leaves, the Ming man came directly to the front with his wife and children.
强牺 tianlaixw.com 读牺。The people around me didn¡¯t even care about this at all. He even gave up his position very enthusiastically and let him buy rice dumpling leaves first. Many people enthusiastically came forward to say hello to this Ming Dynasty man.
After he finished buying the rice dumpling leaves, everyone continued to line up to buy the rice dumpling leaves.
"The status of Ming people is determined by all aspects, even stipulated by law. In everything, Ming people have priority."
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always valued population and encouraged childbirth, so female slaves can be sold to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, because women mean children and the future. Whoever controls women controls the future."
"In addition, the territory ruled by the Ming Dynasty was extremely vast, and a huge amount of land was uninhabited. Because there was not enough population, it could not be developed, so a large number of people were needed."
"Today, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty pays more attention to this and has abolished the capitation tax. The traditional concept of the Ming Dynasty people also includes the idea of ????continuing the family line and continuing the incense."
"So they attach great importance to having children. It is said that millions of female slaves are sold to the Ming Dynasty every year and become the concubines of the Ming Dynasty people."
Brown sighed as he spoke.
The Jewish population is only a fraction of that of the Ming Dynasty. The key is that the Ming Dynasty people still attach so much importance to reproduction.
I am afraid that in the future, the population of Ming people will continue to double and increase. It is more than 100 million now, and it may be one billion in the future.
The key point is that the Ming people still have an extremely vast land to support a sufficient population. Let alone one billion, it is two billion or three billion. Considering the vast land that the Ming people currently occupy, it can be easily supported.
"This~"
Simon was speechless after hearing this. He thought for a while and said, "Don't they value their own blood?"
"Are these mixed-blood descendants of foreigners still considered Ming people?"
"You don't understand the people of Ming Dynasty."
¡°It is precisely because they value the inheritance of their own blood and the inheritance of their incense that they encourage childbirth(remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
