Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 753, the boiling Daming up and down
While Nanyang is still warm as summer, snowflakes have already fallen here in the Beijing-Tianjin region of Ming Dynasty, and another year of cold winter has officially arrived.

However, for the young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area, winter is more delicious than summer, because it is the most suitable time to eat hot pot.

Come to a pot of clear soup hot pot, cut up a few catties of beef and mutton from the grassland, and some vegetables shipped from Ryukyu. There must be spicy peppers in the dipping sauce, so that it is delicious.

The mutton is soaked in boiling water for a few times, dipped in the sauce, and the extreme deliciousness fills the tip of the tongue, followed by a burst of fire, which makes people feel addicted.

But compared to eating hot pot, the favorite thing for young and old in the capital is to go to the tea house every morning, order a pot of tea, have a few snacks, and buy a newspaper, read, eat, and listen to reading at the same time Mr. Bao talked about the current affairs of the day, to see if he could find some business opportunities from it.

Tingyu Pavilion was already busy when it was just dawn, and when the sky was slightly brighter, the door was already opened, and there were already waiting guests pouring in, sipping hot tea and some snacks, and then I was a little anxious Looking at the street, waiting for the familiar sound of selling newspapers.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

It didn't take long before the familiar voice sounded again, and immediately the waiter in the teahouse took a lot of copper coins and hurried to buy newspapers for the customers in the shop.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"Western United Commercial Bank successfully captured Ceylon Island with minimal losses, and seized various properties worth more than [-] million taels of silver!"

"Western Union Company discovered the largest sapphire in history on the island of Ceylon, worth more than one million, and wants to dedicate it to today's emperor~"

Accompanied by the yelling of the newspaper boy, the originally calm street suddenly became lively, and in a blink of an eye the newsboy was surrounded by people who came to buy newspapers.

"Western Union Company has captured Ceylon Island?"

"Is this too fast?"

"The value of the seized property alone exceeds [-] million taels of silver?"

Inside the teahouse, when many people heard the newsboy's voice, the whole teahouse erupted.

To say that the news that everyone likes to hear the most is the news that Daming is overseas.

Today, the Great Ming’s Southern Expedition army wiped out a certain Nanyang Yelang’s arrogant small country. Tomorrow, a certain business firm discovered a gold mine on a certain island in Nanyang, and then became rich overnight; A lot of gold was exchanged for it...

In short, what everyone likes to hear most is these things about getting rich overseas, and new and strange things about overseas.

"Come~Come~"

Soon, the waiter in the store hurried back with a stack of newspapers, and hurriedly distributed newspapers to the customers in the store.

Everyone started to look at the newspaper with relish. All of a sudden, the originally bustling teahouse became very quiet again. Only when everyone finished reading the most important headlines on the newspaper, there would be a sound from inside the teahouse.

"Western United Commercial Bank really made a lot of money this time. The one-time profit exceeded [-] million taels of silver property. It only mobilized about [-] people, and only [-] people actually fought. people."

"The planning and training before and after only took two months, and they were able to capture Ceylon?"

"I know this Ceylon Island. Last time I read it in the newspaper, it was said that it is an important hub on the western route. It is also known as the island of gems, and it is rich in various gems."

"They are also too weak. Only [-] people from the Western United Commercial Bank attacked this Ceylon Island?"

Everyone took the newspaper and read it carefully, and they couldn't believe it. Five thousand people conquered a country, and no one would believe it when they said it.

However, the Ming Morning Post has always been a realistic report, and it has long been credible, so everyone believes it.

"Five thousand people took down Ceylon Island in just a few months. The property captured alone was worth [-] million taels of silver, and this Ceylon Island will belong to their Western United Commercial Bank in the future. Just mining gemstones is enough to kill the Western United Firm."

"Mining gemstones is a small fee. The geographical location of Ceylon Island is extremely important. It will be a transit point on the western sea route in the future. The tolls alone are enough for them to eat."

"What's more, using Ceylon Island as a springboard, you can also plot the entire Tianzhu, and you can go west to the Middle East, Persia and Africa."

"This deal is so good, why didn't I think of it."

"Thirty million taels of silver!"

In the teahouse, when everyone saw this huge astronomical figure, countless people's eyes turned red.

This is an era of the bold and the timid.

A few months ago, Tian Erniu easily conquered two huge kingdoms on the Golden Continent with only [-] people. The gold and silver he got alone could pile up into hills, and forced them Gold and silver are used to build pyramids every year.

Now the Western United Commercial Bank has conquered Ceylon Island with only [-] people. Since then, this gem island has become the seeming property of the Western United Commercial Bank. The seizure this time alone is worth [-] million taels of silver.

How can everyone not be jealous, how can they not be moved?
"This is the whereabouts of robbers, how is it different from tigers and wolves?"

"Sending troops to attack small countries for no reason, bullying the small with the big, bullying the weak with the strong, and wantonly burning, killing, and looting, it is simply inferior to animals."

"I am a dignified Ming Dynasty, a great country, how can I do such a thing like a tiger and a wolf?"

In the teahouse, there was a rotten Confucian scholar who couldn't help roaring angrily.

When did the Ming Dynasty start to change? In the past, it was all about being benevolent to outsiders, and being benevolent to all countries. Now, the atmosphere has changed. Not only the imperial court sent troops to conquer countries in the south wantonly, but even the private armed forces of the people are also bold and reckless, even exterminating people overseas country, destroying others, what is the difference between this and the grassland people in the past?
"Idiot~"

"Stupid~"

"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother~"

"Have you lost your mind?"

When the people next to him heard this, they immediately cursed at him one by one.

This kind of sour and rotten Confucianism is simply stinky.

In the past, Daming was benevolent to those effects, but what did he get in exchange?
In exchange for them treating Daming like a bully, and then taking advantage of you in the name of paying tribute; in exchange for their constant challenge to Daming's bottom line; in exchange for their reckless behavior.

Now Daming is a layman and king, and has beaten all the countries with his fists, so the Japanese country is respectful to Daming, the grassland people herd horses and sheep for Daming, and the territory of Nanyang is expanding one by one. Everyone has more and more. growing plantations.

The rice brought back from Nanyang alone is enough for Ming to eat up and down. As the price of food drops again and again, the common people can eat enough. The imperial court has money to build roads and dams, and can also reduce some taxes.

"Wolfs, tigers and leopards are ashamed to be with you!"

Hearing everyone's scolding, the rotten man immediately blushed, hurriedly paid the bill and left immediately, and everyone couldn't help laughing again.

"It seems that the strength of these overseas countries is very weak~"

"That's right, five thousand people easily conquered Ceylon Island, and they only trained for two months."

"With this little manpower, any commercial firm in Tianjin can recruit them."

"The last time someone asked me to go overseas to do big business together, I thought it was very risky at the time, but now it seems that I am really bold and timid."

"Thirty million taels of silver, what a huge fortune this is."

"Why don't we also organize a team to go to Xiyang here? Try the water?"

"That's exactly what the imperial court has allowed us commercial firms to have a certain amount of armed forces. This is to encourage us to expand abroad."

"We won the colonies overseas, we made money, and the imperial court can also receive a certain amount of taxes, and can expand the influence of our Ming Dynasty, why not do it?"

"Let's go, let's go back and discuss with other owners, discuss, at worst, we can learn from the Western United Firm, and everyone will work together to send troops and share the results."

"Yes, yes, one firm is not strong enough, so let's unite a few more firms."

"I heard that Myanmar is very good. Myanmar produces jade. Gold has a price, but jade is priceless. If Myanmar can be captured, it will probably be more valuable than Ceylon."

"..."

There were various discussions in the teahouse one after another, and almost everyone's eyes were red.

The Western United Company took Ceylon Island at an extremely small price, and obtained an unimaginable return of wealth, which made everyone who saw the news suffer from pink eye disease.

All the young and old in the Beijing-Tianjin area are discussing this matter.

Those who are capable will contact all parties immediately, and they also want to learn from the Western United Commercial Bank. If they can do it, we can do it too.

Huge wealth and incomparably generous rewards made everyone jealous.

The upper-level people are running around, organizing their own armed forces, and want to go overseas to test the waters, as for the middle and lower-level people, they are equally excited.

The Western United Commercial Bank has obtained huge benefits, and those who helped them take down Ceylon Island also enjoyed huge returns.

According to the information disclosed in the Ming Morning Post, everyone who participated in this operation will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, five hundred acres of land, and five Ceylon slaves. The more enemies killed, the richer the rewards .

For the Ming people at the bottom, this is tantamount to getting rich overnight. They have money, land, and slaves. In the future, they can save even farming and let the slaves do the farming.

Many hooligans and hooligans who had been doing nothing before suddenly boiled over, and they all started to gather younger brothers and organize people to go overseas to do a big job and get rich overnight. This is definitely not a joke.

　Would it be too much to reward slaves?
