Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the Ming Empire began to dump grain at high prices throughout Europe, European countries that were originally in the midst of a great famine suddenly felt like rain.

    The grains from England, France, Spain, and Portugal are all transported through Hong Kong. These grains come from the Golden Continent Great Plains, mainly wheat and corn.

    Food from Italy, Venice and other Mediterranean regions was transported through the Ming Dynasty¡¯s overseas territories in the Mediterranean. These grains mainly came from the Hezhong area and Nanyun Province of the Ming Dynasty, and were transported by sea from the Black Sea in Nanyun Province.

    As for the food of the Ottoman Empire, Austria, Tatars, Poland, Lithuania, and the Holy Roman Empire, they are sold through Houzhao City in Black Earth Province. The main production area is Black Earth Province.

    Food from the three Ming grain-producing areas was continuously transported to various parts of Europe, falling to European countries like timely rain. It was also the first time that Europeans who had been hungry for a long time felt the friendship from the Ming Empire.

    The price of food is extremely cheap. Even the black-hearted nobles and businessmen from various countries still make a lot of money from it. The price is also very cheap. Even ordinary people can grit their teeth and spend some money to buy this food.

    "Compared to the past, the price of food has skyrocketed. The price of food from the Ming Empire is really too cheap.

    It was so cheap that people all over Europe were wondering if the people of Ming Dynasty were stupid. Such a great opportunity to make money actually sold grain so cheaply.

    Not only the Europeans, but even countless people of the Ming Dynasty felt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too kind to these Europeans. This should have been a good opportunity to make money, but instead he sold food to the Europeans so cheaply.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know when I will have such a good opportunity in the future.

    Europeans praise the name of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and thank him for his support and sympathy. The food from the Ming Empire is of much better quality than the food produced locally.

    Especially flour, the flour of the Ming Dynasty is ground very finely and is the best for making bread. The bread made is fragrant, soft and delicious.

    Of course, Europeans at this time were not yet luxurious enough to make bread directly from flour. They knew how valuable food was. Ordinary people were already accustomed to eating black bread and horse bread, and habitually added some miscellaneous things to it.  To increase weight and reduce consumption of precious food.

    The quality of the wheat grown by the locals is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. The weight of the wheat in Black Earth Province is one of the best in the world, and is as famous as the wheat in Liaodong Province of the Ming Dynasty.

    In addition to being inferior in quality to the wheat of the Ming Dynasty, locally grown wheat is often unable to be so fine in the shelling and grinding stage. Not only does it consume a lot of labor, resulting in an increase in costs, but it will also contain a large amount of  of impurities.

    This is why Europeans really can¡¯t figure out why the Ming people¡¯s flour can be so fine and the price can be so cheap.

    It is hard to figure out, but it does not prevent Europeans from enjoying the cheap food from the Ming Empire. The Ming people have already said that they are open to supplying Europe.

    You can eat it with an open belly and keep eating it until the new grain comes on the market next year. There is a lot of food in the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to easily supply the entire Europe and even the world's food demand.

    Even the people of Ming Dynasty said that they would provide a steady stream of cheap food to Europe in the future, which would be cheaper and of better quality than the food grown by Europeans themselves.

    The reason is that there is so much food in the Ming Empire that a large amount of food rots and molds in the warehouses, so selling it to Europeans at low prices has actually made a profit for the people of Ming Dynasty.

    The Europeans quickly believed everything the Ming people said, because according to the information the Europeans knew, the Ming people's grain production was really very high. The grain produced in one year was enough to feed 200 million Ming people for several days.  Year.

    The 80 million people in Europe are nothing at all. Even if they are the same as the people of Ming Dynasty, they have three meals a day and eat fine grains for each meal without any problems.

    Europeans can also enjoy the same cheap and high-quality food as the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty cares about its farmers and is compassionate to Europeans.

    I hope to be able to sell the grains in the hands of my own farmers. Even if I don¡¯t make money, I still want to make the farmers make money.

    The food problem has been alleviated, but the epidemic in Europe has the potential to start a prairie fire, burning up and spreading extremely fast.

    The Black Death has appeared in many countries and places in Europe. Suddenly, the whole of Europe has changed. The spread of the Black Death hasprove.  "

    Joseph nodded solemnly and said: "Many nobles in Spain are now hoarding this kind of penicillin in case they are infected and can use it to save their lives."

    "But even in the Ming Empire, the price of this drug was more expensive than gold. Now in Hong Kong, it is said that the price of penicillin is already ten times that of gold!"

    ¡°And you may not be able to buy it even if you have money, because the demand is really too great.¡±

    "If this kind of medicine is really that magical, even if it is ten times more expensive than gold, you still need to prepare something. Now that the Black Death is raging, no one knows whether they will be infected."

    "Yes, Joseph, do you have a way to buy it? If the price is more expensive, I will buy some and prepare some."

    "Me too~"

    "I am also worried that there are no channels to buy it. This thing is only available to people in Ming Dynasty, and only a few people in Hong Kong have it."

    ¡°I know a Jewish businessman who often travels to and from Hong Kong. I don¡¯t know if he has any channels to purchase.¡±

    "Go and ask quickly. Everyone must have some of this penicillin at home. Not only can it be used to treat the Black Death, but it can also be used when children at home have pneumonia or colds.  "
