- "Siberia?"
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both silently wrote down that Liu Jin never lied to others. If he said it was a good place, it was definitely a good place and it would definitely not be wrong.
Just like the Golden Continent, the vast Golden Continent has now become the most important source of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty. There are many treasure ships plying the Pacific Ocean every day, continuously importing shiploads of gold and silver into the Ming Dynasty.
This speed is many times faster than relying on trade input in history.
Historically, in the late Ming and early to mid-Qing dynasties, as Western colonies came to the East, trade between the East and the West developed rapidly, and large amounts of silver continued to be imported into the country.
This kind of import is purely based on trade surplus. In itself, the scale is still determined by the scale of trade between the two sides. Moreover, the Western colonists are not fools. It is impossible to say that such a deficit has always been maintained. This was also later One of the reasons why Britain wanted to acquire opium was to reverse the trade deficit.
Now it is completely different. The Golden Continent belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The gold and silver here are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty people. They can mine them at will. There is no need for so-called trade at all. Any amount dug out can be transported back to the Ming Dynasty. , you can also stay in Golden Continent.
Anyway, they are all Ming Dynasty¡¯s territory, they are all the same.
??????????????????? Those who occupy gold and silver minerals here in Huangjinzhou are basically powerful large commercial banks, large nobles, and large families in the Ming Dynasty. The wealth mined will naturally be transported back to the mainland.
The influx of a large amount of gold and silver also made the local silver of the Ming Dynasty worthless. In the past, it was too difficult for ordinary people to see silver. The most used ones were copper coins. Now, no matter how hard you work, you will not make any money in a year. A few dozen taels of silver, that's all done by no one.
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty can now colonize the world. At the same time, capitalism is developing rapidly, and a large number of machinery is used in production. Therefore, the prices of various materials have not increased much. The income has increased significantly, and the prices have not changed. This life Naturally, it is constantly improving.
If Ming Dynasty could not colonize the world, it would not be able to plunder wealth and resources from around the world, if it did not have rapidly developing capitalism.
The influx of this large amount of silver will inevitably lead to the price of money being high and the price of silver being low. The final result is that although there is more money in hand, everyone will find that the price rise is even more outrageous. In the end, it may not be as good as before. Better off.
This was the case during the Qing Dynasty in later generations.
The inflow of a large amount of silver has caused money to become expensive and silver to be cheap. If there is no way to plunder resources from around the world, and without the rapid development of capitalism, the lives of ordinary people will become even more difficult.
In other words, the sweet potatoes introduced from the Americas were able to feed a population of 400 million, but 400 million people were only on the verge of starvation. The so-called prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong was just bragging and a mite. It was just the prosperous age of the Qing rulers.
This principle is actually very simple. It is like the issuance of additional currency in later generations. The issuance of a large amount of currency will inevitably lead to money becoming worthless, prices soaring, and the wealth in the hands of ordinary people disappearing invisibly.
The principles are the same.
That is to say, the Ming Dynasty is now able to plunder resources from all over the world, coupled with the rapid development of capitalism, so the talents of the Ming Dynasty are living an unprecedentedly good life.
It¡¯s a bit far.
Liu Jin will not lie. If he says it is a good place, it must be a good place.
"How on earth is this Siberia supposed to work?"
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both began to think deeply.
There are very few state affairs that worry them now. At this time lingshuf*ang.com* Zhang Si
Even though there are floods in the south of the Yangtze River and drought in several northern provinces, the impact on the Ming Empire seems to be minimal.
If you need food, you can use railways to transport it to you in a very short time, or you don¡¯t even need to transport food at all.
Sweet potatoes and corn have been vigorously promoted throughout the Ming Dynasty. The planting area is very wide, the yield is high, the land is not picky, and the demand for water is low, so it can be grown easily.
Usually it is used to feed livestock, or eaten as coarse grains. During famines, sweet potatoes and corn can easily survive. Coupled with the court's disaster relief, famines are not terrible at all.
The situation in the court is very stable. Emperor Hongzhi has been in very good health since he had his appendicitis removed. He is now only in his forties, in his prime and in his prime.
The prince also grew up and had dozens of sons. The Ming Dynasty continued and had people to inherit it.
&nbsBut Daming has something to worry about.
After Liu Jin receives the news and reports, he can make arrangements immediately.
With the existence of telegraphs, we can grasp the situation in the disaster area as soon as possible, and then arrange disaster relief as soon as possible, and mobilize food from surrounding provinces. From the time of the disaster to the court's food mobilization, it may only take a few days. .
In a few days, people will definitely still have food in their homes. If there is food to eat, there is no need to be afraid.
Once the disaster relief food from the court arrives, there is nothing to worry about.
Those businessmen who want to enrich the country and who want to take advantage of the opportunity to drive up food prices have no chance. Before the people have finished eating, the disaster relief food from the court has already arrived. Even on such a large scale, food prices will fall a lot. .
You still want to make money from the country¡¯s financial difficulties?
Your business may not even be as good as usual, but it is still a normal business at least. If there is a disaster, the court will mobilize food and distribute a large amount of food to the people, so there is no need to buy food.
This speed of disaster relief can not only minimize the harm of famine, but also minimize the cost of disaster relief for the court. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
There is no need to pay out money, just grain, and now the Ming Dynasty is most in need of grain. The granaries set up by the court in various places are already full, and they only need to be transported there
