- "Mr. Liu, we can arrive at Ceylon Island tomorrow. Once we arrive at Ceylon Island, we can have a good rest for a few days. Ceylon Island is very lively now. The food, drinks and entertainment will definitely be better than ours. The Beijing-Tianjin area in the Ming Dynasty is worse, even more lively than our Beijing-Tianjin area in the Ming Dynasty."
On the deck of the ship ¡®Oyster¡¯ heading to South Africa, Captain Tao Xing smiled and said to Liu Da next to him.
This ship, the Oyster, is a large ship belonging to Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. Captain Tao Xing was summoned by Liu Jin alone before departure, hoping that he could help take care of Liu Da's family along the way.
Tao Xing is naturally very happy for such a thing. Not to mention that this is his big boss. It is his duty to work for his boss. Just as the chief minister of Liu Jin's cabinet, he must also do this with his heart. .
"We are finally going to the Island of Ceylon. I heard from my uncle that this Island of Ceylon is rich in gemstones. All kinds of gemstones are of extremely high quality and have a wide range of varieties. I must go and see it then."
When Liu Da heard this, he immediately smiled and said.
This journey has been very smooth, and we are about to arrive at Ceylon Island in just over a month. Along the way, Liu Da has been constantly recording everything he saw along the way.
The conditions of the ports and provinces along the way, the abundant goods, prosperity, etc., should be firmly remembered, so that you can learn from it when you go to work in the South African colony in the future.
"The Island of Ceylon is indeed rich in gems, and the gems are of extremely high quality. You may wish to buy some as a souvenir."
This time .com Zhang Si. Tao Xing smiled and nodded. In his eyes, Mr. Liu Da was quite good. He was humble and easy to get along with. He didn't have the habits of noble men. He was also eager to learn and ask questions. He also had a lot of fun chatting along the way.
Tao Xingxing traveled to many places, visited many ports and cities, and saw a lot of things. He was able to tell Liu Da about the customs, customs, products, etc. of each place.
"But in addition to gems, Ceylon Island is also the largest jade trading center in the West. It also has a large number of high-quality jade, which is also worth a look."
"Emerald jade?"
"If I remember correctly, Myanmar is rich in jade, right?"
¡°Shouldn¡¯t the largest jade and jade trading center be here in Myanmar?¡±
When Liu Da heard this, he thought about it and said.
"Yes, Myanmar is indeed rich in jade, with high quality and large quantity."
"But the Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou of Myanmar are not good at dealing in jade. In addition, the Zhang brothers have not always had a very good reputation. Therefore, everyone has been reluctant to do business in Myanmar."
"In addition, jadeite also involves processing. If it is just a raw stone, the value has not been truly discovered. Only when the jadeite is processed into a finished product can its value be discovered."
强牺  读牺。"The Zhang brothers have always known how to dig jade, mahogany, and nanmu, but they are not good at deep processing. They have always wanted to run Myanmar's jade market well. Come, but Naihe still can¡¯t do it.¡±
"On the contrary, the Island of Ceylon, relying on the original gem processing and sales, has grown bigger and bigger, attracting a large number of businessmen, and slowly brought all the jadeite from Myanmar to the Island of Ceylon for processing. This has formed the largest jade and jade trading center in the West."
Tao Xing nodded and then started to explain.
"That's it~"
"Myanmar has such good resources. In the end, the jade and jade trading center turned out to be Ceylon. This operation is very important."
Liu Da silently noted this down.
??A place with resources does not necessarily mean it is truly wealthy. Myanmar¡¯s resources are actually very good, including jade and jade, as well as extremely large forestry resources. Logically speaking, it should be developing well.
"However, the Zhang brothers are rough people. They have always been good at plundering and plundering, not good at management. In addition, they have a bad reputation. Everyone is afraid of them. If they can't be offended, they can always hide.
The colony developed by the Zhang brothers was very slow.
"Yes, sir."
¡°I have been to many places throughout my travels. I have been to hundreds of overseas colonies and vassal states, large and small.¡±
¡°The differences between colonies and vassal states are huge.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the difference in area., he was immediately interested, and quickly asked, the South African colony was the destination of his trip, and it was also the place where he might have to work hard for the rest of his life.
¡°Of course the South African colonies were very good places, and they were no different from us.¡±
"The South African colony is different from all colonies and vassal states. The South African colony has a zero-tolerance attitude towards foreigners. Therefore, from the day the colony was established, it has continued to massacre and drive away the local indigenous people."
¡°Although other colonies and vassal states also massacred the indigenous people, they often paid more attention to the labor force and used these indigenous people as slaves for the construction and reclamation of the colonies.¡±
¡°Some vassal states and colonies are even better for the indigenous people and allow them to become free citizens.¡±
"During the early development of colonies and vassal states, labor was very much needed. Labor was needed to build cities, roads, ports, etc., and cheap labor was also needed to work in factories. "
¡°Many colonies and vassal states are vigorously attracting immigrants because of their insufficient population, and they are also purchasing large quantities of slaves to develop their colonies.¡±
"But the South African colony was different. It did the opposite. It looked down upon the local indigenous people at all. It killed and drove them away wantonly, and only focused on introducing immigrants from our Ming Dynasty."
"As long as a man immigrated to the South African colony, the South African colony would directly give you several female slaves to give birth to children, farm, etc., so it also attracted a large number of people to immigrate to the South African colony."
"The population of the South African colony has almost exceeded 10 million, and it has the largest number of Ming people among all the colonies and vassals."
At this point, Tao Xing also paused slightly, took a sip of water and then said.
This time 7 5zw.*c om Zhang Si. ¡°In addition, the difference between the South African colonies and other places is that the owners of the South African colonies did not establish the South African colonies for the purpose of plundering the resources and wealth here.¡±
"Other colonies and vassal states often focus on plundering resources and wealth. The shareholders of the South African colony not only failed to obtain a large amount of wealth and returns from South Africa, but also continued to invest in the colony every year. Invest a lot of money to develop this place."
¡°The results brought about are also very huge. The South African colony is now the place with the best economy and the most developed industry outside the Ming Dynasty.¡±
¡°Not only does it have a large number of textile factories, but it also purchases cotton and wool from major colonies and vassal states, and then exports a large amount of cloth after spinning. The cloth of the South African colonies sells well in Africa, Europe, Tianzhu and other places with high quality and cost-effectiveness. "
¡°And in addition to textile factories, the South African colonies also had many large steel factories, cement factories, glass factories, shipyards, machinery factories, etc.¡±
Control the big one and control the owl. "It can produce cement, glass, steel, arms and weapons, ships, and even cars, trains, bicycles, motorcycles, etc."
