- On the outskirts of Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire was inspecting a cement factory that was about to be completed and put into operation.
"Your Majesty the Sultan!"
¡°All the equipment in this cement factory is imported from the Ming Empire, and it is also the most advanced cement production equipment, which can realize semi-automatic production. The cement produced is enough to supply our entire great Ottoman Empire!¡±
Suleiman was happily listening to the person in charge of the factory bragging about the scale, equipment and technology of the cement factory in front of him.
Cement is a very important thing. Whether it is used for infrastructure or war to build castles, or for disaster relief to build dams, canals, etc., cement plays a huge role in all aspects.
One of the important reasons why the Ming Empire was able to efficiently rule a huge empire was that it relied on the transportation network covered by railways and highways to quickly transport people and materials to any corner of the empire, thus forming an extremely efficient rule.
Suleiman is very clear about this, so in his industrial development plan, textile factories, cement factories and steel plants are the three most important factories and need to be built with priority.
With the cement factory, Suleiman can learn from the Ming Empire and build roads connecting every part of the empire. He can also build taller high-rise buildings and stronger fortresses. In short, it has many and great effects.
In the past, all cement in the Ottoman Empire was imported from the Ming Empire. Not only was it expensive, but the key was that the quantity was small, which was far from meeting the Ottoman Empire's own development planning needs.
"Not bad!"
Su Laiman nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty the Sultan!"
"It's not good, it's not good!"
At this time, Ibrahim came in a hurry and shouted before the person arrived.
"What happened?"
Suleiman looked at Ibrahim and asked quickly.
"Your Majesty the Sultan!"
¡°The Ming Empire has issued the latest order. In view of the large-scale and substantial global food reduction this year, in order to ensure the food security of the Ming Empire and the Ming vassal states and colonies, the Ming Empire will strictly restrict the export of food from now on!¡±
Ibrahim told the Ming Empire¡¯s latest policy.
"What?"
"Strictly restrict the export of food?"
Hearing this period, Su Laiman couldn't help but jump up.
¡°Not long ago, I just arranged for Ibrahim to go to the Danube River Basin to inspect the food production situation, and also issued an order requiring various parts of the Ottoman Empire to diversify their food, grow less cotton and raise sheep.
At that time, Suleiman was worried that if the Ming Empire did not export food one day, the entire Ottoman Empire would fall into an unprecedented famine.
Who would have known that only a few months later, the Ming Empire would actually restrict food exports.
There is going to be a big problem now.
"Let's go back!"
Suleiman was no longer in the mood to see his cement factory and took the lead directly back to the palace.
In the car, Sulaiman asked about the specific situation in detail.
¡°Isn¡¯t the Ming Empire¡¯s grain production far in excess?¡±
"Now even this year's massive reduction in grain production should have little impact on the Ming Empire, right?"
"No, Your Majesty, the situation this year is a bit special, a bit similar to six or seven years ago."
¡°Extreme climate has occurred all over the world. According to the information released by the Ming Empire, at first it was at the beginning of the year and in March, the weather was still cold, which affected sowing.¡±
¡°Then there were large-scale and severe droughts and floods around the world. The Ming Empire¡¯s native South Africa suffered major floods, inundating countless fertile fields, while the northern region encountered a major drought.¡±
"On a global scale, Tianzhu is also experiencing a severe drought, and it is almost certain that food production will be significantly reduced. The Black Earth Province and Huangjin Continent of the Ming Empire are also experiencing drought, and food production is severely reduced."
¡°There are floods in Western Europe. Almost all potato plantings have suffered from mildew and will have no harvest. We in the Ottoman Empire and Persia have also suffered from severe drought.¡±
"It's just because our main crop now is cotton, which is relatively drought-tolerant. In addition, we have a lot of land to raise sheep, so the impact of drought is not big."
?Most of the goods imported from the Ottoman Empire passed through the Tianjin Ocean Trading House.
This is the most powerful trading house in the Ming Empire. Relying on its strong comprehensive strength, high standard service level and good reputation, it has extremely huge business on a global scale. It is the most powerful trading house in the Ming Empire. It single-handedly monopolized the Ming Empire's external arms trade and grain trade.
All arms, weapons and grain sold to the outside world are handled by Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. Not to mention the sale of arms and weapons. This is a very profitable and profitable business. Even if you just change hands and become a middleman, Tianjin Ocean Trading It's also a big profit.
It is not only the profits from the arms and weapons trade itself, but also the benefits it brings in other aspects. For example, if you want to purchase arms and weapons, you need to allow Tianjin Ocean Trading House to do other transactions, or transfer some businesses to Let them do it.
As for the trading of grain, Tianjin Ocean Trading Company has always been a loss-making business. Of course, the price of grain trading is very low and there is almost no profit. No one will be jealous of this business. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
