- Liu Jin walked around casually, looking at each store.
If you want to see the living conditions of people in a country, the best place is to go to the vegetable market, the neighborhoods where people shop, the types of goods, prices, etc.
The variety of goods is rich and diverse, coming from all over the world, and the prices are cheap and affordable, which means that the living standards of people in this country must be quite good.
If the types of goods are rare and expensive, then the standard of living will definitely not be much higher. The more underdeveloped and less wealthy the area, the scarcer the goods and the higher the price.
Liu Jin looked casually and wandered around the shops.
Because the end of the year is coming soon, it is the peak sales season of the year, and merchants have already prepared in advance.

The Daming Guojiao wine produced by the distillery invested and built by Liu Jin himself is even more expensive. It's expensive, a small bottle costs several hundred cents.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, they are more accustomed to drinking wine brewed at home. Red wine tastes astringent and is far less good than the various fine wines at home, so naturally home-made wine tastes better. , is also more popular and more expensive.

Beef jerky, mutton jerky, and kangaroo jerky from South Golden Island and porridge. These two places have vast pastures. After years of grazing and development, they have already become famous meat warehouses. However, because they are far away from each other, The Ming Dynasty was far away from home, and there was no way to transport fresh meat, live cattle and sheep.
As a result, the jerky industry developed. After drying the beef and mutton, it is sold all over the world. It is most popular in Europe, because even if it is shipped to Europe, it is cheaper than their local beef and mutton. The key is Or after drying.

European cheese and ham are also relatively popular here in Daming. Children like to eat cheese, and adults like to have some Spanish acorn ham when they drink.
Because Spain owed the Ming Empire a war loan of fifty million taels of silver, the interest alone cost several million taels of silver every year.
In order to pay off this war loan , the Spanish Empire is now tightening their belts and living a life. Ham, red wine, cheese, everything that can be exported is desperately sold to the Ming Dynasty.
The price is much cheaper. As long as the people of Ming Dynasty want it and give them money, they will sell it. It is fun to borrow money for the war, but it is painful to pay back the debt.
But they didn¡¯t dare to refuse the loan from the Ming Empire, so the colonies were also trying desperately to snatch and squeeze out huge amounts of wealth.?A steady stream of food was sent from the Spanish Empire to the Ming Empire.
