Chapter 2088: The lives of Ming people are more precious

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hong Kong, with the emergence of the Black Death in Europe, Hong Kong was also greatly affected.

    The Ming Empire issued a strict order prohibiting European slaves from entering the Ming Dynasty. This directly caused the originally prosperous slave trade in Hong Kong to suddenly fall into a freezing point.

    The slave trade has always been the most important trade here.

    It can even be said that slaves from Europe supported Hong Kong¡¯s prosperity.

    The Japanese pirates from the Japanese country ravaged Europe and sold the plundered slaves to Hong Kong, and then resold them to Golden Continent, Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia and other places through Hong Kong.

    In addition to Japanese pirates, many nobles and businessmen in Europe were also involved in the slave trade. The huge profits allowed them to plunder people from various places and traffic them to Hong Kong by any means. Only they knew the huge profits.

    Now, in order to prevent the Black Death from spreading to the Ming Dynasty, the slave trade is directly banned. The Ming Navy even directly dispatches to patrol the sea areas and inspect passing ships.

    Once any ship containing slaves is discovered, it will be directly seized, and relevant businesses and individuals will be held accountable and severely punished.

    Although the trading houses and Ming Dynasty merchants in Hong Kong really wanted to make money from the slave trade, they also knew that the Black Death was terrible. Once it spread to Hong Kong, the consequences would be very serious.

    So although the price of slaves has now risen due to the impact of this incident, there are still very few people who dare to make money from the fire and the tip of the knife.

    We all know that there is no need to rush now. When the plague is over, Europe will still be the source of slaves for everyone, and the money that should be earned can still be earned.

    If a plague breaks out in Hong Kong, then everyone will stop trying to make money.

    Without the importation and trade of slaves, Hong Kong suddenly became a lot more depressed, but it is still the most prosperous and lively city in the entire Western Europe.

    In addition to the slave trade, other trades are still prosperous, and have even increased compared with before.

    Europeans have always had a strong demand for Ming goods, especially European nobles who highly advocate the use of things from the Ming Empire.

    Needless to say, silk, porcelain, tea and sugar were the top three items of Ming Dynasty¡¯s trade with Europe. Industrial products such as watches, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and perfumes were also very popular in Europe.

    Especially cars, watches and motorcycles. Nowadays, European aristocrats, as long as they have status and status, basically wear a watch and have a car when going out.

    Riding a horse-drawn carriage is too old-fashioned and very backward. It will be considered a sign of being old-fashioned and a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

    Before the ban was implemented, the most favorite thing for European aristocrats was to come to Hong Kong for shopping. The shopping streets in Hong Kong's wealthy areas made European ladies linger, and the feasting and feasting at night made European aristocrats even more fond of it.  I was so fascinated that I forgot my hometown.

    Of course, these nobles in Europe are no longer in the mood to shop. They are all worried about the Black Death.

    This is Hong Kong Hospital.

    ¡°Penicillin, penicillin, I want to buy penicillin!¡±

    A European shouted at the hospital people while waving a lot of banknotes in his hand.

    He was entrusted by his master to come to Hong Kong for shopping. It took a lot of effort to get here. He also found out that there was penicillin in the Hong Kong Hospital, and hurriedly came to the Hong Kong Hospital.

    "Sir, I'm sorry, we have sold out of penicillin here!"

    Tom, the doctor at the hospital, looked at the other person. He was blond and blue-eyed. He looked European at first glance, not from the Ming Dynasty. He also said very directly.

    "sold out?"

    "I know you must still have some penicillin reserves. I am willing to pay a high price to buy it. Is three thousand taels of silver enough?"

    "As long as you are willing to sell it, I will give each of you an additional 100 taels of silver."

    When Kane heard this, he immediately said quickly.

    ¡°My master is a big nobleman, but who knew he was infected with the Black Death, and now he is waiting for me to buy penicillin to save his life.

    ¡°However, I visited every business house in Hong Kong and they all said that there was no penicillin. Even if I paid a high price, I still couldn¡¯t buy penicillin. This made Kane extremely depressed.

    The price of penicillin is very high. Now you can¡¯t even buy it for several thousand taels of silver. Even if you have money, you can¡¯t buy penicillin.

    "Sir, I understand how you feel, but?: "Because this is Hong Kong of the Ming Empire. Everything here is given priority to the Ming people. Penicillin is also given priority to the Ming people. Do you understand?"

    Hearing Tom's words, Kane slowly let go of his hand and understood immediately.

    It¡¯s not that there is no penicillin, it¡¯s because the people of Ming Dynasty have to give priority to using penicillin. Even if they don¡¯t use it now, they still have to prepare some.

    This medicine is not only used to treat the Black Death, but also has miraculous effects on other diseases.

    The lives of Ming people are more precious!

    People in the Ming Dynasty have always practiced this principle. Even though the price of penicillin has skyrocketed, this hospital still has the penicillin used by the people in the Ming Dynasty.

    I believe that there must be penicillin not only in hospitals, but also in some other places, just so that people in Ming Dynasty can use this penicillin as soon as possible if they are infected with the Black Death or other diseases.

    Just like just now, people from the Ming Dynasty came to see a doctor and needed penicillin, which was immediately arranged. But as for myself, I begged and spent a lot of money to buy it, but it was no use.
