Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 976, The Merchant's Paradise
"The Ming Empire is indeed very rich. I heard that they are only on the Golden Continent. The silver and gold they obtain every year can be piled up into a mountain. Their ships lead to oceans all over the world. Their wealth is comparable to their wealth. By comparison, we Jews are nothing at all."

When Namias heard it, he immediately sighed and said.

Jews are synonymous with wealth. The Jews who are shrewd and good at doing business have always been rich, but after they came to Daming, after some detailed understanding, they knew how rich Daming is.

Just like the East described by Marco Polo, it is both mysterious and rich. Although it did not say that it is full of gold, the richness of Ming Dynasty still shocked them.

"However, I don't think it's really wise to go to war with Da Ming. Da Ming is really too powerful!"

Then Namias changed the subject, worried about Ali~Pasha's thoughts.

The strength of the Ottoman Empire is unquestionable, but the strength of the Ming Empire is also obvious to all. In the war between each other, the greatest possibility is that no one can take advantage of the other, and it will only hurt both sides and benefit others.

"Just wait and see~"

"Sooner or later, this huge Ming Empire will surrender under the iron heel of our Ottoman Empire."

Ali~Pasha is very confident.

The power of the Ottoman Empire made him blindsided. The powerful Ottoman Empire had no opponents in all directions. The powerful Persians trembled under their attacks. The Slavs in Eastern Europe were sold as slaves by them. The cities of Italy, Spain and France It is the land of their pirates' plunder, and the Middle East in the south is their holy place of pilgrimage.

With such a powerful strength, the Ottoman Empire has never been afraid of anyone.

"Let's go, let's go for a stroll~"

"The emperor of the Ming Empire is really hard to meet. We have been here for almost half a month, but their emperor still has no intention of receiving us."

Ali~Pasha looked at the weather outside through the glass window. The sun was shining brightly and it was a rare good weather. Daming’s winter was a bit cold, so going out for a walk and seeing the capital of Daming is also a good choice.

Ali~Pasha left the Daming Royal Hotel with his entourage, and wandered around the capital casually. The capital of Daming is very prosperous and lively.

The streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, and there are many shops along the street under the buildings. There are a variety of goods, which makes Ali ~ Pasha and others look at them with gusto.

"Joseph, did you see that the price of such a fine piece of cloth doesn't even cost a tenth of a silver dollar in the capital of the Ming Dynasty? It's so cheap. If it can be shipped to Europe, this random piece of cloth You can also buy two or three silver dollars, and the profit here is dozens of times."

"There are also spices from the Ming Dynasty. There are many types and the price is extremely cheap. I heard that if you go to the Shili Commercial Company in Tianjin to buy them on a large scale, the price will be even cheaper."

"These spices are transported to Europe, and I am afraid that the profit can be dozens of times."

"There are also the porcelain, silk, tea, and sugar of this Ming Dynasty. This Ming Dynasty is simply a paradise for businessmen!"

Namias said to Joseph beside him while shopping.

They are all Jews. Jews are good at doing business and discovering business opportunities. This time they came to Daming, in fact, they came to Daming for the purpose of investigating business opportunities.

After coming to Daming, they were pleasantly surprised to find that Daming is full of business opportunities, it is simply a paradise for their businessmen.

There are banks all over the major cities of Daming, the First Bank of Daming, and the bank notes found by banks can pass through all parts of Daming, and even the countries around Daming are willing to accept bank notes and silver dollars of Daming.

This is extremely convenient for doing business, there is no need to exchange currencies, and there is no need to run around with a lot of precious metals.

Secondly, Daming built a large number of cement roads all over the country. This miraculous material made the roads very spacious, smooth, and strong. This made Daming's transportation extremely convenient, whether it was land transportation or water transportation.

More importantly, all parts of Daming are within the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is fighting against road bandits, bullies, bandits, etc., so there is no need to worry about your own safety, and you can walk here very safely. over a vast land.

Even Daming people can freely travel to and from various surrounding countries and enjoy a distinguished status in each country.

Daming's products are extremely rich, no matter what kind of goods are available, just in the capital, they can see all kinds of goods that can be named or not, even European goods.

"Yeah, this is indeed a businessman's paradise."

"If we Jews can do business here in Daming, I think we will definitely become extremely rich very soon."

Joseph also sighed. After coming to Daming, they really felt how strong and rich Daming was.

Such a vast territory and such a huge country are actually under the rule of one country and one emperor.

In such a huge country, everyone uses the same language, the same currency, the same track, the same text, and even the powerful influence has radiated to many surrounding countries.

As long as you can speak Daming dialect, you can freely go to the surrounding countries such as North Korea, Wa, Siam, Sulu, etc., and you don’t have to worry about your personal safety at all, because these countries are obliged to protect the personal safety of Ming citizens .

You can spend money anywhere with Ming’s banknotes in your pocket, even in these surrounding countries, they are very happy to accept the banknotes in your pocket.

Your ship can berth at any port in Daming at will, and even the ports of surrounding countries can berth at will. If you go far enough, there are still a large number of colonies occupied by the Ming people in places such as Africa, Tianzhu, and the Middle East. If you are from the Ming Dynasty, you can also walk and do business in these places freely. These colonies also speak Ming dialect, write Chinese characters, and use silver notes and silver dollars.

This is the place where Joseph and Namias sigh and amaze the most.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a powerful country in this world. Even if they have an incomparably vast land and a huge population, they can still achieve such unity.

You must know that in Europe, even the whole of Europe is far less huge than the Ming Empire, and its population is not as large as that of the Ming Dynasty. However, there are dozens of countries in Europe, large and small, and each country has its own language and characters. currencies, weights and measures, etc.

There is no way to uniformly use one language, one currency, and only one emperor like Daming here, which is extremely inconvenient for doing business.

Because you need to understand the language and characters of each country, and be familiar with the customs and laws of each country, etc., when traveling in various countries, you also want to keep exchanging various currencies, which is very troublesome.

But in Daming, none of these are needed, this is Daming.

A powerful and incredible empire.

Not only does it have a powerful country and population, but its powerful influence even radiates to surrounding countries. What is even more frightening is that Ming has many colonies, and these colonies are all private. What is even more amazing is that these colonies, The vassal state and so on still use the characters and currency of the Ming Dynasty, and use the unified weights and measures of the Ming Dynasty.

This made it difficult for Joseph and Namias to understand, but they both realized the convenience of doing business in Daming.

"Your ideas are very good~"

"However, I heard that Daming people are very xenophobic~"

"They have a lot of restrictions on foreigners. Foreign ships can only stay in designated ports for a certain period of time. Once they stay in non-designated ports, they will be severely punished."

"As for trade on land, they will not allow foreigners to walk freely in Daming territory."

Ali ~ Pasha also smiled when he heard the conversation between the two of them.

A Jew is a Jew and has nothing in his eyes except money.

They are good at dancing, but they don't have their own country. They have been wandering in one country after another. Although they are rich, they never have a sense of belonging. Perhaps only money can give them a sense of security.

In the future, they can do business everywhere in Europe, but it is different in Daming. Daming does not welcome outsiders. They are very confident and very rich, and they look down on outsiders extremely.

Just from the eyes of these Daming people around, it can be seen that the Daming people are very proud, and the eyes of them are full of contempt.

This made Ali Pasha extremely unhappy.

They have always looked down on people from other countries, when is it their turn to be looked down upon.

This made him secretly swear that he must give Daming a look, let Daming know the strength of the Ottoman Empire, and let the people of Daming know how powerful their Turkic people are.

As for the Jews around them, it is good that they want to do business in Daming, but it is a pity that Daming has extremely strict regulations and restrictions on this aspect.

"That's such a pity~"

When Namias and Joseph heard this, they immediately said helplessly.

Such a huge empire, such a good environment, actually rejects outsiders like them, which makes people uncomfortable.

"I heard that it was because hundreds of years ago, this place was still called the Song Empire. The Song Empire welcomed foreigners very much. At that time, many people from the Middle East and Persians came to the Song Empire to do business and stayed here."

"Later, when the Song Empire weakened and was attacked by the Mongols, the royal family of the Song Empire was betrayed by the Persians and Middle Easterners, resulting in thousands of royal family members being killed."

"At the same time, the Persians and Middle Easterners intended to establish the Isfahan Kingdom here, but in the end it failed. This made the people here extremely hate the Persians and Middle Easterners, and they were also extremely xenophobic. Outsiders were not welcome. Foreign religions are welcome, and I heard that if you preach privately in Daming, you will be beheaded."

Ali~Pasha is obviously a qualified diplomat, and he actually has some understanding of many things on Daming's side, and he told the cause and effect of this matter.

"Hateful Persians and Middle Easterners~"

When Joseph and Namias heard this, they couldn't help cursing immediately.

"No, no, I can only say that they are too useless. If they succeed, the light of the Lord can shine here!"
