Chapter 83 New Members
With Jiang Chen's prompt, Zhu Houcong soon began to take action, and a contract from more than 500 years ago also appeared at this moment.

This is a contract between Daming, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands, or more precisely, Daming and the entire European countries.

This contract is different from the original Ming Dynasty, or even from any other dynasty in the original Huaxia Dynasty.

If such a contract is placed in the whole court, I am afraid that it will be reviled and resisted by countless people, because there is only one content in the contract, and that is the benefit.

There is no great country etiquette, no nobility.

Some only have naked interests.

The content of the treaty is divided into four articles.

First, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other European countries must open trading ports for Daming, and Ming merchant ships need to be exempted from all taxes.

Second, wherever the Ming merchant ships arrived, the three countries must ensure the safety of the Ming merchant ships.

Third, the three countries rashly started the war and needed to make compensation for the war, a total of [-] taels of silver.

Fourth, Nanyang has been the Shu Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and the European countries have taken the initiative to occupy it, so they must all evacuate immediately. In addition, this is a provocation, and Ming Dynasty needs to pay certain compensation to the Shu Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it also needs to pay compensation to Daming. The compensation for a resident is 1000 million two silver.

The four articles can be said to be completely unequal treaties.

But at this moment, many countries in Europe have no choice at all, unless they completely abandon Nanyang and Ming Dynasty.

But that's simply not possible.

In the age of great voyages, the most critical link was in Daming, no matter how high the price was, they had to stay.

As for the remuneration to be paid, it seems extremely huge, but it is really not unacceptable to them.

Forty million silver, plus the compensation costs of the port, add up to almost one hundred million taels.

But this is not undertaken by one country, but by the entire European countries.

The total for each country is only one to two hundred million taels. Although even one to two hundred million taels is not small, it is not an unaffordable amount.

As for the evacuation from Nanyang.

After the war started, they had expectations in their minds.

After all, the war was lost, and the result must be so.

Anyway, it is not impossible to use Tianzhu as a transit point, the only problem is that it is troublesome.

As long as they still control the route, it is enough.

Of course, they don't know at this moment that with the signing of this treaty, their end has come.

The most important thing about this treaty is not the compensation. Although it can give them a headache, it is difficult to say how much impact it will have on them.

After all, the amount of gold and silver shipped to Europe every year in the Americas, and even in Southeast Asia and island countries alone, is a massive amount.

With this value, let alone one billion taels, even if it is 20 billion or 30 billion, the entire Europa can afford it.

But the other two are extremely deadly.

Article [-]. European countries need to open their treaty ports, allow Ming merchants to trade freely, and countries are not allowed to charge tariffs.

This is the beginning of the economic colonization of China by European countries in later generations.

Accompanied by the Opium War, the whole of Europe has been plundering China for nearly a hundred years.

This comes from the Europeans' own methods, and no one in this era knows the extent of its horror.

In other words, even if you experience some, you still don't feel deeply.

After all, in this era, except for China, even European countries are unable to truly dump products from other countries on a large scale. Only after the Industrial Revolution came, did Europe have this ability.

Huaxia is an exception.

With its huge geographical location and rich handicraft industry, even if there was no industrial revolution in the Jiajing period, it was already able to dump products to the entire world.

Not to mention, at this moment, the Ming Dynasty entered the Age of Discovery.

The germination of capitalism in Ming Dynasty has already begun.

In the absence of external intervention, the sprouts of capitalism would inevitably collapse, and the Ming Dynasty began to upgrade its industries.

Even though Daming doesn't have the technology of the industrial revolution yet, it has already begun to have soil.Especially after Da Ming forcibly inserted into the trade of the Age of Discovery this time, such an ending was almost inevitable.

Of course, Zhu Houcong at this moment is still not clear about this.

The contract this time was only formulated by Zhu Houcong based on what Jiang Chen described.

His gaze was still fixed on the white silver.

Three months after signing the contract.

Shiploads of silver and gold were transported to Kyoto by sea.

When looking at the gold and silver, the smile on Zhu Houcong's face never disappeared.

Consciousness was even more excitedly discussed in the group.

Zhu Di is even teaching Zhu Houcong how to carry out currency reform.

Zhu Houcong listened to the teachings of his ancestors.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, "That's it. Too much gold and silver will inevitably lead to the inflation that Mr. said. You must carry out currency reform now and try to get the people of the Ming Dynasty to get used to using treasure banknotes, so that no big problems will occur."

Zhu Houcong, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, "Master Taizong, but it is difficult for people to recognize the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty now."

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di: "Don't worry, I have a perfect plan provided by Mr. Xia Yuanji. You will know after taking a look."

Zhu Houcong, Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, "Thank you, Taizong."

Emperor Zhao Bing at the end of the Song Dynasty: "Your Majesty Shizong and His Majesty Yongle's plan is very powerful, and both teachers praise it."

Ming Chengzu Zhu Di "Hahaha!"

Lines of text appeared, and everyone was still working on it enthusiastically.

It was obviously late at night again at this moment.

Jiang Chen looked at a few people chatting, interjected a few times, and then turned off the computer.

Start washing and go to sleep.

Jiang Chen went offline, but no one in the chat group went offline.

Still discussing excitedly.

And while they were chatting, the popularity of the chat group began to increase continuously.

Finally, when the heat reached a new level again.

"Buzz!"

A ripple spread instantly.

Don't know if it's a coincidence.

This time it was late at night again, and the system once again enabled the group member search function.

In a daze, a mechanical voice sounded beside Jiang Chen's ear.

"Ding, do you want to enable group member search!"

"No answer, the system searches automatically!!"

"Searching!"

"Search is complete!"

"Personnel recruiting!"

"Successfully recruited!"

One after another voices were mixed together, and the curtain gradually came to an end.

As these sounds came to an end, the two places in time and space suddenly fluctuated at this moment, and at the same time, golden ripples also spread to the time and space everywhere.
