Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1884, The Globalization of Daming Capital

Liu Jin's residence.

It's been almost a year since he came back home, and with Liu Jin's return, the entire Liu Mansion burst into laughter and began to get busy.

Clean up Liu Jin, prepare a table of delicious food, and reward Liu Jin who has been busy in the world.

After dinner, he went to bed early.

Liu Jin hugged Xu Waner with his right hand and Li Zhen with his left. The little days of hugging left and right were really cool.

For nearly a year, my own people are almost suffocated.

Of course, the two of them have already suffocated.

It is said that thirty is like a wolf, and forty is like a tiger. This age is like a wolf and a tiger. I have been holding back for nearly a year. How uncomfortable these days are, and I am looking at Liu Jin with resentful eyes at this moment.

"Honestly, is there any stealing outside?"

Xu Wan'er looked at Liu Jin, her eyes were burning. Liu Jin's right hand was very dishonest and fumbled around.

"Heaven and earth conscience, there is absolutely no, they are all accompanying the emperor, and they are on the road, and they are on a boat. Whoever has the heart to do these things, people are exhausted. If you don't believe me, you will find out after you try it. It is guaranteed to be full of firepower. "

Liu Jin naturally had a clear conscience, and while talking, he was dishonestly moving around.

"Sister, there should be no Xianggong."

At this time, Li Zhen poked her head out from under the quilt, said with a smirk, she just checked and confirmed it.

"Don't stop~"

Liu Jin hurriedly stuffed her back into the quilt, why did she stop, she was so suffocated.

"Even if you have a conscience, it's not in vain that we miss you and miss you every day at home."

Only then did Xu Wan'er say it with satisfaction, and after she finished speaking, there was autumn water in her eyes, and there was a raging flame in the autumn water, and her hands moved dishonestly.

"How much do you miss me?"

Liu Jin asked with a smirk.

"Huh~huh~"

Xu Wan'er pouted softly, even though she was in her thirties, she became more and more charming.

After humming, he also gently crawled into the bed.

Soon, Liu Jin couldn't bear it any longer. He gently lifted the quilt to take a look, and immediately became even more excited.

The one-night battle lasted until late at night, and the three of them fell asleep contentedly and beautifully.

The next day, Liu Jin, Xu Waner, and Li Zhen had no intention of getting up until the sun was rising. In the morning, they did morning exercises again. They were tired and relaxed, and they didn’t want to get up at all. They just wanted to sleep well. After waking up, continue exercising.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Liu Jin reluctantly got up at the request of Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen. If she didn't get up again, both of them would be laughed to death by the maids and servants. It's been most of the day.

Liu Jin read the newspaper while eating delicious food at home.

Liu Jin knew clearly what was happening in the imperial court and the whole world. Although he was traveling abroad, because of the existence of wireless telegrams, Liu Jin also knew what happened in the capital.

"The Ottoman Empire actually restricted the entry of my Ming's cloth?"

Liu Jin looked at the newspaper, and when he saw the news, he immediately became interested.

The newspapers reported the latest order issued by the Ottoman Sultan Selim I. Selim I prohibited the Ming Dynasty cloth from entering the market of the Ottoman Empire on the grounds that the cheap cloth of the Ming Empire made the Ottoman Empire's own cloth impossible to sell. , roughly a large number of handicraft industries, but also to reduce the tax revenue of the Ottoman Sultan.

"Looks like it's time to find an opportunity to beat down the Ottoman Sultan, who dared to ban cloth from our Ming Empire from entering their market."

"This is a serious violation of the agreement in the Erzincan City Agreement that Ming merchants have the right to free trade."

Liu Jin thought quickly in his mind.

The original old sultan was beaten up by the Ming Empire, and he belched before taking revenge. The new sultan has been in office for several years, and he has always been ambitious and constantly expanding.

In the Mesopotamia and the Middle East, they fought hard against the Persian Empire and the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt. On the European side, they also frequently moved westward, which meant tearing up the "Vienna Armistice Agreement."

Of course, this is also related to the restoration and strengthening of the Ottoman Empire's national strength after these years of recuperation. When it becomes stronger, it will naturally expand abroad.

In addition, the current Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman Empire is himself a war madman. He likes foreign expansion and aggression, and he wants to build a powerful empire comparable to the Ming Empire.

Although they used force against all sides, they never dared to make any changes to the Ming Empire. This time, they were probably trying to test the reaction of the Ming Empire.

If the Ming Empire has no response to this, it is estimated that the next step is to postpone or refuse to pay war reparations to Daming.

The war indemnity back then lasted for decades, and now only about half of it has been repaid, and the war indemnity has to be paid to the Ming Empire every year.

After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin knew what to do next. The beating must be done, and at the same time, the Ottoman Empire must understand the gap between it and the Ming Empire.

"My Ming Empire's cloth sells well all over the world. If there is no global market, my Ming's textile industry will suffer a huge crisis."

"This hole in the Ottoman Empire must not be opened, otherwise other places will restrict the entry of my Ming industrial products."

Liu Jin was very clear in his heart.

With the development of capitalism in Ming Dynasty, industrialized production is already extremely strong.

Taking the textile industry as an example, the cloth currently produced by the Ming Empire is far greater than the market demand of the Ming Dynasty itself. It needs a global market and needs to be sold in every region of the world.

The Ming Empire also used its powerful influence and force to open up many markets.

Needless to say, these own vassal states, vassal states, and colonies can be sold freely and unimpeded, especially the vassal states of Ming Dynasty Wa, Korea, and Siam.

At first, everyone didn't know the role of free trade, trading, settlement, etc. in the vassal state agreement. At that time, they thought they were taking advantage of the Ming people.

It is a good thing that their people are free to settle, live and work in the Ming Empire.

But now, they have slowly discovered that the Ming Empire is actually taking advantage of it.

Cloth, glass, automobiles, clocks, food, etc. of the Ming people are like a turbulent tide rushing towards these vassal states, and in an instant, some of the original handicraft workshops and cottage handicraft workers in these vassal states were completely shocked, directly collapse.

It can be said that the markets and economies of these vassal states were quickly controlled and seized by the Ming people in a very short period of time. Their economies are no longer what they say they can count, but they have become vassals of the economy of the Ming Empire. It is the source of raw materials and the dumping place of products.

Even the currency was overwhelmed, and their national currency gradually lost the market. Everyone habitually used Daming's copper plates, silver coins and silver notes, because these are more valuable and more liquid, and everyone is willing to accept them. , It is also a gradual habit. Banks are also opened all over the place, and it is more convenient for everyone to save money, withdraw money, and transfer money.

It can be said that the economies of vassal states, vassal states, and colonies are completely vassals of the Ming economy.

Like Ningguo, the largest vassal state, although Ningguo is huge, there is not much industry in Ningguo. Its main economy is still agriculture, mainly planting cotton, rice, sugar cane, and spices. Among them, the cotton planting area is very large. It is large and the output is high, but basically it is sent to the local side of Daming.

In addition, the state of Chu, which occupies the roof of Africa, is also the largest cotton exporter in Africa. The cotton produced is sold to the mainland of Daming to provide raw materials for the local textile industry of the Ming Dynasty.

The only exception is the South African colony.

Because the South African colony was Liu Jin's escape route, he insisted on the path of independence from the very beginning. Through these years of hard work, he gradually established a complete industrial system, technological system and comprehensive new education.

This allowed the South African colony to not only have its own steel factories, shipyards, textile factories, machinery factories, cement factories, automobile factories, motorcycle factories, etc., but also the technological development of the South African colony to be extremely rapid.

Because everything in South Africa was established by Liu Jin by copying the system of later generations, completely eradicating the traditional imperial examinations and the influence and existence of Confucianism, and comprehensively popularizing and establishing new schools.

In South Africa, there is no need to be influenced by traditional Confucianism. Everyone goes to a new school.

That is to say, the population of South Africa is still relatively small, and it is far from being able to compare with the Ming Empire. Otherwise, the South African colony is very likely to surpass Ming in some aspects.

Daming's capital and industry stood at a very high starting point and height from the very beginning, based on the huge market of Daming, with abundant capital and abundant labor force.

Along with the development of colonialism in the Ming Dynasty, it quickly turned to globalization, relying on global raw materials and markets, which allowed the capitalism and industrialization of the Ming Dynasty to develop at an unimaginable speed.

Its development speed far exceeds that of Europeans in history. It only took about 20 years to enter the second industrial revolution and enter the era of electrification and internal combustion engines.

This speed is very fast, it can even be said to be beyond imagination.

Therefore, the Ming Empire cannot lack the global raw material market and consumer market. The Ottoman Empire banned the entry of Ming cloth, which seriously violated the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be severely repaired.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's voice came over.

"Let's not let people have a good rest~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately helpless.
