Daming Military Empire

Chapter 378 Sweeping South Asia
The promotion of dragon coins in the Ming Dynasty was not limited to the mainland, the vassal states also had arrangements, and the implementation of the promotion plan in the vassal states was the calligraphy and painting exchange mission led by Guozijian Jijiu Huang Daozhou.

The scale of this mission is unprecedentedly large, not only officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty, but also winners of the "Flourishing Age of Ming Dynasty" painting and calligraphy competition, 25 first prize winners and two hundred second prize winners were all accompanying them, and there were even nearly three Hundreds of third-prize winners also participated, bringing the number of envoys to a terrifying [-] people.

The missions not only carried all the mounted first and second prize winning works, but also carried Daming Dragon Coins worth 1000 million taels. Of course, they did not take them to the vassal states for compulsory issuance, but took them to the vassal states to distribute Yes, later generations open calligraphy and painting exhibitions to charge entrance fees, not only do they not charge entrance fees, they also give money, dragon coins!
Their first stop was not the neighboring Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu, but the newly surrendered southeastern countries. Such a large-scale envoy went to the southeastern countries. If it was changed to before, I don’t know how long it will take to prepare, and I don’t know how long it will take to leave. How long, I don't know how many troops to protect.

However, now that there is a railway, they don't need to make any preparations at all, and they don't need any large army to protect them. They directly mobilize five trains, bring five hundred brocade guards to accompany them, and bring various supplies. They sit leisurely, and within a few days , then rushed from the capital of Daming to Shenglong City in Annan!

Although most of the accompanying officials and awardees had taken trains before, it was basically their first experience of such a long journey. It was so easy for Annan to rush from the capital of Daming to the edge of the West Antarctic. It was unimaginable in the past, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty made all the entourage feel proud and proud of it.

When the envoys of the celestial dynasty arrived, King Annan brought all the civil and military officials to kneel outside the north gate of Shenglong City to greet him as usual. Although Huang Daozhou was only a third-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, his real power and prestige were well-known in the court. He is even more experienced with these vassal kings and kings.

In his opinion, he is the envoy of the heaven, even if he is bigger than the vassal king and the subordinate king, you are the subordinates, you all have to listen to me!

If other third-rank officials of the Ming Dynasty were to point fingers at him, Annan Wang Li Weiqi probably would give others some face even if he didn't get mad, but he was very respectful to this Master Huang of the Zodiac Zhou. Don't look at this Master Huang's appearance is refined and polite Well, he is the famous butcher Hongru. In North Korea, another vassal state of Ming Dynasty, it was said that the king of North Korea felt weak when he saw him.

Annan Wang Li Weiqi saw that he would not be weak, but he was determined not to dare to sing against him, so when he said that he wanted to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition, Li Weiqi immediately vacated a few palaces in the palace, and he could do whatever he wanted. As soon as he said he wanted people to come to visit and study, Li Weiqi immediately ordered all the students in Annan to come here in turn, and the court will report to you the travel expenses and so on, but you must not make this master unhappy, or you will be clicked!

The Annan students are not disgusted with this. On the contrary, they are quite enthusiastic, because they are learning Chinese, and they are also very interested in calligraphy and painting. Now there are works by the masters of the Great Ming Dynasty for them to watch for free, which is simply wishful thinking. ah.

Huang Daozhou didn't just let them take a look, he was always very generous to obedient people, he not only arranged for a large number of third prize winners to explain the subtleties of calligraphy and painting works to these students, he even gave them a lecture in the main hall. Put down countless desks, let those calligraphy and painting masters and second prize winners splash ink now, give on-the-spot guidance, teach people calligraphy, teach people painting, learn well, calligraphy and painting are talented, then immediately ten taels, 20 taels, or even Rewards of 50 taels and 100 taels, of course, are all dragon coins, and a set of cents or coins will be given out to those who come.

All of a sudden, the Shilin in Annan also went crazy. With such a developed traffic situation, the news of Daming’s issuance of dragon coins has naturally spread to Annan. They have long wanted to see the style of dragon coins, and now someone gave them They didn’t flock to it, and even many students asked to exchange it with gold and silver, exchange more points, and give them to relatives and friends!

This made Huang Daozhou very difficult. The 1000 million dragon coins he brought were to be sent in the four southeastern vassal states. If they were all exchanged by Annan students, what would happen to the remaining three vassal states?
Fortunately, at this time, the southeast peninsula also received telegrams. All the capitals of the vassal states have telegraph systems. He immediately sent a telegram to ask the emperor how to deal with it.

When Zhu Cijiong received the telegram, he was naturally Longyan Dayue, boasting that he was able to handle things well, and if they want to change, just give them a change, at worst, send tens of millions to them!

Now the venue of the painting and calligraphy exhibition was extremely popular. Originally, there were many Annan students who came to learn calligraphy and painting after hearing the news. Now, with the addition of students who came to exchange dragon coins, and even Annan officials and wealthy businessmen, the entire venue can be said to be full of excitement. There are so many people that it is almost too crowded!

Huang Daozhou immediately quit. He thought he was mainly here to engage in calligraphy and painting exchanges, and the promotion of Dragon Coins was just incidental. Now that so many merchants have come to exchange Dragon Coins, what is the order? What about Daming Royal Nikko Bank, Daming Royal Xinglong Shopkeepers and other shopkeepers of the Annan branch, please come over to me, and quickly apply to your headquarters to allocate a batch of dragon coins. If you want to exchange them, you can exchange them, and don't come to me to make trouble.

This incident was so chaotic that even Zhu Cijiong didn't expect it. Did Annan's students and wealthy businessmen mess around a bit, exchange real money for Ming's banknotes, are they sick or something?
In fact, they are not sick. They all know that this dragon coin can really be used as money. Any company opened in Daming, even a Portuguese company can be used as money. What is the Daming Royal Xinglong now? Western Trading, Daming Royal Machinery Group, and Daming Portuguese Trading Company have more and more branches in Annan, and they don't have to worry about Dragon Coins becoming waste paper at all.

It is said that Daming Royal Xinglong Company, Daming Royal Western Trading, Daming Royal Machinery Group, and Daming Portuguese Trading Company not only have more and more branches in Annan, but also have more and more branches in Goa, Mysore and other places. more, and now the semicolons of Goa and Mysore are busier than those of Annan.

Because, the purchase operation against the Mughal Empire has already started. Of course, they are not using dragon coins, but real gold and silver. Shiploads of real gold and silver are transported from Daming to Goa. Then, the Royal Xinglong Company of Daming and the The local compradors hired by the Portuguese Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty began to contact the powerful landlords and big merchants of the Mughal Empire, frantically buying all kinds of goods, especially food and other daily necessities, as long as they were shipped over, they would all be collected!

The landlords and big merchants of the Mughal Empire are also crazy. They have never seen customers who want everything, especially food and other daily necessities. It's real money, if you don't earn this kind of money, you'd be an idiot!

A purchase operation that swept across the Mughal Empire was launched in this way. A large amount of gold and silver flowed from the Ming Empire to the Mughal Empire, and countless goods also flowed from all parts of the Mughal Empire to all parts of Goa. Both sides were very happy. Almost all laughed from ear to ear.

Are they sick?Such an abnormal thing and laughing so happily, of course, one party is always sick, both sides think the other is sick, that's why everyone laughs so happily!
