Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 443, Daming is not calm
"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"The fleet heading to the Golden Continent is back~"

"Bring back gold and silver worth thirty million taels~"

The streets and alleys of the capital, accompanied by the sound of selling newspapers, the whole capital seems to come alive, and the Ming Morning Post has now become a part of the lives of young and old in the capital.

"Give me one~Give me one~"

Soon, the newsboys were surrounded by people who bought newspapers, and everyone couldn't wait to get the newspapers to read the latest news.

"Oh my god~"

"Twenty million taels of silver plus one million taels of gold, the fleet brought back wealth worth thirty million taels of silver from the Golden Continent~"

“Golden Continent is really full of gold~”

Everyone who got the latest issue of Daming Morning Post couldn't help being amazed.

Because this time the Ming Morning Post reported this matter in detail, and at the same time used most of its space to report this matter.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the wealth brought back by the fleet from the Golden Isle, which is worth [-] million taels of silver, which is such a huge sum.

On a teahouse in the capital, the shopkeeper of the teahouse was reading the newspaper aloud to the guests of the teahouse as usual. When he read the gold and silver worth [-] million taels of silver brought back, the whole teahouse was silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and their mouths widened. Some people couldn't help digging their ears, wondering if they heard it wrong.

"Shopkeeper, did I hear you wrong, you just said gold and silver worth thirty million taels?"

"Yes, it clearly states that it is gold and silver worth [-] million taels of silver, of which [-] million taels of silver and one million taels of gold are worth more than [-] million taels in total."

The shopkeeper of the teahouse looked carefully again and said with certainty.

"Thirty million taels of silver, how much is this?"

Someone couldn't help but say in amazement.

"I heard about this yesterday. The fleet came back yesterday. Yesterday at Tianjin Port, ten big fortune ships came back from the Golden Island. The gold and silver they brought back piled up on the pier to form mountains of gold. , Yinshan, I heard that the entire port is filled with golden light and silver light."

A well-informed person spoke up.

"Aren't the crew members who went to sea all sent?"

Someone thought for a while and said.

"Nonsense, of course I did~"

"This fleet is jointly invested by Tianzi, Liu Jin, Liu Zhuangyuan, and a businessman named Du Mingen. Tianzizhan and businessman Du Mingen each take [-]%, Liu Jin and Mr. Liu take [-]%, and the remaining [-]% ​​belongs to everyone. crew."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liu Jin both went to Tianjin Port to welcome them back yesterday, and distributed [-]% of the gold and silver belonging to the crew to the crew on the spot. Almost every person can get more than two thousand silver."

"It's more than six thousand taels of silver. These crew members used to be miserable. I heard that some of them were military households. The poor ones couldn't even afford food. But now, they just went to sea for more than a year and earned a lot of money. More than six thousand taels of silver, I can't eat it all in my life."

The shopkeeper continued, because the newspaper had clearly written all of this clearly.

Obviously, this is also Liu Jin's intention, that is to use money to stimulate the people of Daming to go abroad continuously, and don't always limit your eyes to the one-third of an acre of Daming's land.

To starve the timid to the death of the bold, this is what Liu Jin wanted.

"More than a year, more than six thousand taels of silver!"

When the people in the teahouse heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

They are all people from the capital city, and they are obviously rich if they can come to the teahouse for consumption, but when they heard that they earned more than [-] taels of silver in more than a year, all of them couldn't help their eyes turning red.

There is no doubt about the purchasing power of silver. In this era when three taels of silver can be used to marry a mother-in-law, and a few taels of silver can be used to build a house. Two silver is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

Maybe [-] million taels of silver did not have such a strong feeling for them, because everyone knew that it was impossible for them to own the [-] million taels of silver.

But after hearing that the crew members who went to sea could earn more than [-] taels of silver in just over a year, everyone couldn't help being jealous.

It's just a trip to the Golden Continent, and in a year or so, earning wealth that can't be spent in a lifetime seems to be within everyone's reach.

The whole capital city, no, people in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area are crazy.

And as the news continued to spread, and slowly spread to the whole of Daming, the common people of Daming were not calm anymore.

I used to talk about being a little rich and being safe. I have a three-acre field, and my wife and children can keep their heads warm.

But now, with the spread of the news, more and more people gathered here in Tianjin. Countless people sharpened their heads and wanted to enter Tianjin Maritime Academy, learn navigation skills, go to sea, and go to gold. Zhou, want to get rich overnight.

"Go, go, go to Tianjin, go to the sea to the Golden Island, and get rich overnight~"

"Go out for a walk while you are young, and you can earn money that you can't spend in a lifetime in just over a year~"

Here in the capital, young people invite their close friends, pack their bags, bid farewell to their parents, wives and children, and walk towards Tianjin. No one can remain calm under the attack of silver.

Even some scholars have put down the Four Books and Five Classics at this moment, and I will not take the imperial examination. The imperial examination is too difficult, and not everyone can pass it.

This time I went to the Golden Continent to earn a few thousand taels of silver a year and come back, and I can still take the exam slowly afterward.

I heard that Tianjin Maritime Academy enrolls students who are required to be able to read and write. Scholars have a great advantage and can easily be admitted.

It's not just the young people who are restless, even some older people are also restless. There is no way to plant in this land with peace of mind.

People around me are thinking about going to Tianjin. If you are still farming poorly, even your own mother-in-law will look down on you. You don’t have to be young to go to Huangjinzhou.

As long as you can bear hardships and stand hard work, you can go there too.

The people of Daming are restless~
Of course, the restlessness is far from limited to the common people of Daming, they are restless from top to bottom.

The reason why ordinary people are restless is because they can earn thousands of taels of silver a year by going to sea, and they can't spend it all in their lifetime.

For the middle and upper classes of Ming Dynasty, they were shocked by thirty million taels of gold and silver, and their eyes were red from the impact.

Du Mingen, a businessman, invested in the fleet to the Golden Isle in just over a year, and made more than nine million taels of silver at once.

More than nine million taels of silver, what a huge wealth, it would take two years for Daming's treasury to receive almost that much tax money.

Even among the wealthy Anhui merchant families, not every big family has so much silver. The key is cash. These big families simply cannot come up with so much silver.

Du Mingen got rich overnight, really rich.

It suddenly became a legend among the merchants of Ming Dynasty. Countless merchants were talking about Du Mingen's time, and while they were jealous, they began to dig out the money on the ground and sell some properties, shops and the like.

Raise money, invite some excellent friends, and bring money from all corners of the Ming Dynasty to the Beijing-Tianjin area. They want to buy a boat, and they also want to go to the Golden Island.

There are only ten big fortune boats and more than a thousand people. As long as the money is poured in, they will also organize a fleet to go to the Golden Continent, and they can also get rich overnight.

In the south of Ming Dynasty, for the first time, these big merchants, big landlords, big gentry, and big families in the south couldn't calm down. Since the opening of the sea, they have fallen behind the north and cannot enjoy the huge dividends brought by sea trade. .

In the past, they were trying their best to oppose the sea ban and wanted to monopolize the huge profits of sea trade.

But now, they couldn't calm down anymore.

Compared with the [-] million taels of silver, their little sea trade and the little silver they earned are simply insignificant and insignificant.

So above the court, officials from the Jiangnan area stood up for the first time and reported to Emperor Hongzhi, demanding that more ports be opened to the outside world, and that the south side must also have open ports.

They were jealous, and they couldn't calm down anymore.

With such a huge amount of silver and such a huge cake, they couldn't keep calm at all.

Not to mention the military generals Xungui Group at the top of Ming Dynasty, the military generals Xungui Group headed by the three Dukes of England, Dingguo, and Cheng Guogong sent people to Tianjin in the first time.

They want boats and boats, silver and silver, and people and people. Such a huge cake must not be missed. Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu and Liu Jin's brother-in-law came to Tianjin from the capital overnight. , I found Liu Jin, and there is no doubt that I want to recruit Liu Jin to form a new fleet to the Golden Continent.

The civil official group can't be calm anymore. In the past, these civil officials were representatives of big landlords and gentry. They had huge land properties in their families and they were also engaged in some businesses.

But with the rise of capitalism, they soon discovered that their wealth growth was much slower and much slower than that of the emerging capitalists by relying on the little money collected from the land.

Now, with the return of the fleet, the sudden [-] million taels of silver has formed an even more terrifying impact. No one can remain calm in the face of such a huge wealth. Without hesitation, he joined this huge feast of wealth.

The whole of Daming was agitated from top to bottom, all agitated by the huge wealth of [-] million taels of silver.

　Let's go to the first chapter, and there will be more tonight~
