"Long live the saint who oversees the country!"
"Invincible tomorrow!"
As soon as Zhu Heji finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers outside Jiujian Hall.
Although the new Ming Dynasty has absorbed a group of northern warriors and southeastern scholars, the foundation of the Guangzhou court is still the power of Chaozhou, Minnan, and Guangfu, and the power of these three places is somewhat similar to overseas zero-yuan purchases and maritime trade. Toll collection background.
Moreover, before the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, the three overlords of the zero-dollar purchase industry in the Atlantic Ocean, entered Nanyang, the zero-dollar purchase market in Nanyang was almost monopolized by Chaozhou people, Hokkien people, and Cantonese people.
Even when it fell, the Zero Yuan Gou Group led by Zheng Zhilong was still one of the overlords in the Nanyang Sea.
However, after the Zheng Zhilong Group was severely damaged by the Manchus, the zero-dollar purchase market in Nanyang was gradually divided up by the Dutch, Spanish, and the newly rising British. Especially after the Qing Dynasty carried out coastal border relocation, Chaozhou, Minnan, Guangfu Maritime and Zhengming Group, which temporarily lost their personnel and ships, fell into a state of living on their laurels and barely managed to survive. Not only were they unable to dye the Southern Ocean, but even the Oriental and China's offshore markets have shrunk sharply.
Although in the past two years, with the help of the east wind and the two powerful weapons of Tianlei and Tianhuo in the new Ming Dynasty, the power of Chaozhou people, Hokkien people, and Guangfu people in China's offshore areas has been restored, the market is limited to the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian.
The Dutch East India Company and the Governor-General of the Philippines in New Spain, because they sided with the Qing Dynasty in the Ming and Qing wars, received the support of the Qing Dynasty Governor of Zhejiang Fan Chengmo, allowing their warships to fly the Qing dragon flag to "employ In the name of "barbarian soldiers", they entered Ningbo and Dinghai ports.
Fan Chengmo even hired engineers from the Dutch East India Company to build forts and naval ports at the mouth of the Yongjiang River in Ningbo and Shenjiamen in Dinghai.
These Dutch and Spanish people made it clear that with the support of the Qing court, they wanted to steal the business of Chaozhou people, Hokkien people, and Cantonese people on China's coast and the East Ocean route!
Moreover, the Dutch East India Company and the Governor-General of the Philippines in New Spain wanted to use this as a threat, demanding that the new Ming Dynasty not change the status quo in Southeast Asia, recognize their rights and interests in Luzon, Java, and Malacca, and not interfere in Vietnam, Siam, Borneo, Internal affairs of Champa, Chenla and other places.
This is a bit too much!
Seeing that the people below were very popular, Zhu Heji nodded with satisfaction, then raised his right hand, and the cheers from below quickly stopped.
Outside the Nine Rooms Hall, there was silence. Everyone looked up at Zhu Heji, who was sitting high on the throne.
Zhu Heji said loudly: "The Western Netherlands is a small country on the European continent, with a population of only three million, but it can travel across the ocean and dominate not only the Atlantic Ocean on the edge of their European continent, but also the Atlantic Ocean. The Little West Sea to the west of Malacca, and even the Nanyang Sea at our doorstep can run rampant... Do you know what their credentials are?"
"The ship is strong and the gun is powerful!"
Someone answered immediately.
"No!" Zhu Heji waved his hand, "Most of the Western barbarian countries are good at forging cannons and ships, and the Dutch are not the only ones with strong ships and powerful cannons. However, the Dutch can repeatedly defeat the British, French, Western, and Portuguese barbarians at sea... .... It can be seen that his method of using ships and guns has great merits. And from my perspective, his specialty is nothing more than a company!
The public person means the wealth of several people, and the director means the operation. Putting them together means accumulating shortcomings and making them high, merging small things and making them big, merging them and making them public, which is the way to make a company. Based on the East India Trading Company chartered by the state, the Hobart combined the financial, human, and material resources of the country's merchants and people to build powerful ships and cannons that could overwhelm the Western Barbarian countries. They traveled across the Western and Western Oceans, dominated the South China Sea, and also meddleed in the East Ocean and interfered with our country. In China's coastal areas, they used military force to conduct trade and obtained huge monopoly profits, which were then distributed to the merchants and people of the Dutch and foreign countries. This is how He and Yi dominate the ocean.
And for the trip of three people, there must be my teacher. The way that He and Yi used to dominate freely can be practiced by us too! "
As he spoke, Zhu Heji turned to look at Yanping King Zheng Jing, and said with a smile: "King Yanping, with the power of your family, you want to take Luzon and Java, control the Strait of Malacca, and take all the eastern and southern oceans. I am afraid that the power is not enough. Why not follow the example of the Dutch East India Trading Company and also open a Nanyang Trading Company chartered by the Ming Dynasty?
This time when the lonely family goes north to Ningbo by sea, why not let the warships of the Nanyang Trading Company take the lead!
From now on, Nanyang Trading Company will take the lead in all matters of competing for profits with the barbarians. As for the issue of Xuande's sermon, it was left to the Ming Dynasty and the original Confucian University Scholars Conference... What do you think? "
Zheng Jing immediately understood Zhu Heji's thoughts. Zhu Heji wanted the Zheng family to take the lead in organizing a Nanyang trading company, and then use the name of this company to compete with various Western barbarians for Nanyang... while the Ming Dynasty court , the former Confucian University Bachelor's Conference, was responsible for establishing order and spreading truth after the Nanyang Trading Company completed the zero-dollar purchase.
In other words, the dirty and tiring work is done by the Zheng family, and the good and saintly Zhu family are responsible...and then the Zhu family has to share the money with the Zheng family!
Of course, Zhu Heji's money will not be in vain... He will be responsible for providing this zero-yuan crime tool.
With advanced crime tools, the Zheng family's zero-yuan purchases can quickly become bigger and stronger!
"Okay!" Zheng Jing immediately nodded with a smile, "Jian Guo, since you have already opened your mouth, let me take charge of the head of this chartered trading company!"
As he spoke, he turned around, cupped his hands to the people standing outside Jiujian Hall, and said with a smile: "The Supervisor has said... This chartered trading company is to pool the financial and human resources of the country's businessmen and people. , only with material resources can it be started! You guys need a helping hand!"
Well, he will issue shares at the court meeting!
Zhu Heji hurriedly interrupted with a smile: "King Yanping, no matter how good this deal is, don't offer shares at the court meeting of the Gu family! Besides, with such a good deal, are you afraid that no one will follow it? Later, you will Let’s open a general store in Guangzhou city, conduct a public offering, and invite investment... By the way, I also have some spare money, so I have to invest in it!”
Zhu Heji is investing in Zheng Jingla!
Zheng Jing laughed loudly: "Saint Supervisor, don't worry, Zheng knows the business at sea best, and he will definitely not let you lose money."
Zhu Heji also laughed in response to the situation: "Take our sugar-powder firearms to do business on the sea, how can we still lose money?"
Can I still lose money if I buy for zero yuan? Moreover, there are advanced crime-committing tools provided by Zhu Shengren...
The people below were all excited when they heard Zhu Heji and Zheng Yanping singing in harmony.
This Nanyang Trading Company has great potential!
...
"Supervising the country, I have discussed it with Qiu Zhijun and Chen Junmen, and I feel that we can use a battle method to fight against the foreign and foreign war fleets in Dinghai and Ningbo..."
The meeting outside Jiujian Hall has ended, but the small meeting inside Jiujian Hall has just begun. Zheng Jing, who was in high spirits, was the first to speak and proposed a plan for a decisive battle at sea.
Zhu Heji smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Zheng Yanping's words, "King Yanping, we'll talk about this later... The Gu family still has some good things to discuss with the big guys."
Anything else good?
Zheng Jing smiled and asked: "Jian Guo, isn't this good thing you mentioned just another big deal?"
Zhu Heji smiled: "You're right! It's just a big deal... Yi Zhi, go and bring out the good stuff to open the eyes of everyone!"
Yi Zhi was Yan Yuan's name. This great Confucian who was both a teacher and a friend of Zhu Heji. Although he had not yet become an official, he followed Zhu Heji in the name of a saint's disciple, and he seemed to be a confidant.
Yan Yuan quickly brought the good stuff, which was placed on a wooden tray. It was a bowl of off-white powder and lumpy objects, and a stone whose surface was covered with bean-shaped and nodule-shaped crystals.
Zhu Heji smiled and pointed at the good thing that Yan Yuan put on the conference table, "Do you know anyone? Gujia will test you. Can any of you recognize it? This is a good thing! It is related to the next three hundred years of my Ming Dynasty. Good luck to the country this year!”
