I'm really not doing business

Chapter 527: Farming takes priority in all industries, and when agriculture flourishes, all industries will prosper
The Ming Dynasty was very strange, and it became even weirder towards the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the war with Hou Jin Dynasty, Wang Zaijin, Wang Huazhen and others were able to lead heavy troops in the front. This was a very weird phenomenon.

What are Wang Zaijin, Wang Huazhen and others? He is the most typical cheap Confucian who has no military talent and likes to talk too much. He has never fought in a war, but he likes to point fingers and write thousands of words at every turn. In these words, he scolds political opponents, praises himself, and opposes for the sake of opposition.

What these cheap Confucians like most is to immerse themselves in wishful dreams and talk to themselves. What is even more unbelievable is that during the Tianqi and Chongzhen years, in the face of the fierce war and danger in Liaodong, the imperial court was able to kill Wang Zaijin and Wang Huazhen. The likes of Ting Tui went to Liaodong to lead the army. A man who was talking about military affairs on paper and without any command ability was actually reused to lead the most elite army in the empire.

These cheap scholars can only make the situation in Liaodong even worse, let alone turning things around.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, fundamental failures and flaws appeared in the system of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Ming Dynasty died in the civil unrest that broke out. While the fate of the emperor who prospered and died by it made people sigh with emotion, at the same time, what exactly was the problem? Where?

Hai Rui said it was the emperor, while Lin Fucheng said it was excessive freedom that led to the merger of the four clans, and Lin Fucheng believed that the Xuejia clan was the head of the four clans.

Wang Huazhen was able to go to Liaodong to lead the army because his teacher was Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the dynasty. Wang Huazhen was defeated in Guangning and Xiong Tingbi was killed. symbol of.

The birth of the academic elite system led to the complete alienation of the standards for promotion in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, and the complete failure of the Ming Dynasty's talent selection mechanism. After all, people have to do things, and more and more people in the court are competing with each other. Those who really do things are pushed to the margins or even to prison.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty turned into the weird look it had at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more interesting is that Lin Fucheng was able to say these things because he took refuge in Wang Qian and the emperor, so he was able to be so unscrupulous and talk nonsense. This in itself is also a kind of patronage, support and connivance similar to that of a master.

Cashmere is the best wool material, and it is also the worsted wool material. The biggest problem with goats is that they eat the grass roots when they eat grass. This is also the reason for the degradation of pastures, because cashmere is expensive, and since the wool business has become more and more popular, As the population became more prosperous, the number of goats increased.

Intensive cultivation of large quantities of pasture, captive livestock raising, regular green storage for winter, prevention and treatment of diseases, etc. will all give the nomadic people who were previously displaced a stable home.

What the Ming Dynasty did in Nagasaki was simply not something that the previous Ming Dynasty court could do.

"The Ming court has never made such a huge investment, just to ensure that the Ming Dynasty has no worries in the northern frontier, I hope that military disasters will no longer harm the northwest." Zhu Yijun summed up this memorial to Sanniangzi with sincerity, and the relationship between Anda Khan and the Ming Dynasty The long twenty-five-year war was a common pain for the people in the hinterland and on the border. Countless people died in the long war. This is the most appropriate and appropriate opportunity for complete reconciliation.

The grassland is changing from nomadic to settled pastoralism, and the transformation from a semi-natural economy to a small-scale peasant economy is underway. The changes in the means of production and production relations have made the grassland integrated with the Ming Dynasty from now on, and there is no possibility of separation.

Zhu Yijun inquired carefully and found out that the recipe was given by Pan Jixun.

Wan Shihe looked left and right and whispered: "The increase in the number of wool means that the imperial decree is being implemented. Why can we conclude that the Ming Dynasty's transformation of the grassland was effective? Is there any inevitable connection here? ?”

Sanniangzi read a lot of newspapers and miscellaneous newspapers in the capital, and saw the Ming Dynasty's methods in the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. Sanniangzi was sincerely grateful. As a representative of the reconciliation faction, she brought vitality to the grassland people, just like the dawn of thorns. The light that breaks the darkness.

When someone comes to talk to Lin Fucheng, Lin Fucheng has only one way, that is to sincerely apologize and then shut up. Lin Fucheng must apologize for his inappropriate remarks and the trouble he has caused to the big shot. Otherwise, this dinner will be a waste of time. Eat your own meal.

Zhu Yijun told the third lady to make it clear to the barbarians in the Suiyuan area and the court's views. In the Ming Dynasty, all people are kings and citizens, and there is no preferential treatment or inequality. Don't follow ambitious people, gather together to cause chaos, and influence Develop together and reconcile the overall situation.

Putting the interests of the Ming people first is the most fundamental pursuit of Zhu Yijun, the Ming emperor.

Sanniangzi actually thought about the honorific title of Tian Khan, but in the end she still called him His Majesty. Wan Shihe of the Ministry of Rites understood His Majesty very well. His Majesty only wanted to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and did not want to be the unifying king of the world, the Holy Emperor, or the Khan of Heaven. , and so on, His Majesty refused.

In the twelfth lunar month of the tenth year of Wanli, Sanniang Zi entered the capital again, and on December 13, she met with the Ming Emperor in the Wenhua Hall.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty shouldered the sin of revenge. In the future, the Spring and Autumn Period will judge that the name of an executioner will definitely be pinned on the emperor's head.

"I sincerely obey the Holy Instructions." The third lady obeyed her leader's orders again.

This can be seen from the increase in the number of wool.

If the grassland breaks out into chaos again, or simply rebels, will the court still have the patience to continue reconciliation? Obviously not.

Zhu Yijun also knew from Sanniangzi's Memorial that during nomadic times, livestock became sick and died one after another. Moreover, due to nomadic life, animal diseases often spread rapidly in the grasslands. Every time a large-scale epidemic of animal diseases occurs, The already poor life of the prairie people is made even worse, and the whole family may be wiped out at every turn.

"According to the imperial court's order, goat grazing has been banned on the grassland." Sanniangzi mentioned a detail, that is, goats eat grass roots.

The Ming Dynasty, a secular court, wanted to control Suiyuan by establishing counties, garrisoning troops, collecting taxes, registering people's households, and writing in the same way. Personnel, financial rights, general affairs, etc. were all subject to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the counties and counties were established. In progress, the Ming Dynasty's decree on the grassland was being implemented. The third lady said that Zhu Yijun was the immortal, and Zhu Yijun also recognized it.

One woolen factory in Lanzhou = total woolen output in England; two official woolen factories in Beijing = total woolen output in Spain.

"The Eternal Supreme Immortal God has given the human world. He has sent His Majesty to bring stability and peace to the grassland. Your respected Majesty, the emperor of the human world, has guided us, the confused lambs, to find the home we want. "Thank you for your generosity and kindness." The third lady bowed again and finished what she wanted to say.

Lin Fucheng is not barefoot. He has parents, a wife and children. He also has Guangde Bookshop. There is also a boss behind the bookshop. The servants of big shots will talk to you. This is still reasonable. When you talk about the truth, you must listen to it, know what is interesting, and know what is interesting. In general, don't make things difficult for everyone.

At the same time, in order to effectively defend Suiyuan, the Ming Dynasty is actively planning to reopen the Western Region to ensure that the Hetao area is the heartland of the Ming Dynasty and will not be threatened by military forces.

Is the God in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty the same as the Changshengtian in the grassland? Zhu Yijun feels that this issue is not important. What is important is that the grassland must recognize that the Ming Dynasty has substantial rule over Suiyuan, rather than restraining officials and canonizing the king of captives. It must implement the decrees of the Ming Dynasty, rather than obeying and violating them.

This is the terrible productivity of Ming Dynasty.

As for the group of horse slaves in Mobei Wala, the serious Tatars do not regard them as a family.

What the Ming Dynasty did to the northern pirates was treated entirely as one of its own, while what the Ming Dynasty did to the Japanese pirates was what they did to their enemies.

What is prohibited is grazing, not captivity.

The Ming court was now willing to pay a huge price for reconciliation.

Changshengtian is the supreme belief in the grassland. Now the emperor is the human spokesperson of Changshengtian, and he has been completely integrated into the narrative system of the Great Tomorrow.

The Third Lady left the Wenhua Palace. Her visit to Beijing this time was fruitful. Her ideas finally became a reality in His Majesty's hands.

Between the northern grasslands and the hinterland of the Central Plains, since the pre-Qin Dynasty, there has been one among you and one among me. This has been going on for more than two thousand years. They have long been integrated in a physical sense, with blood, culture, and economy blending with each other. In addition, A hundred years after Hu Yuan took control of the Central Plains, Zhu Yuanzhang also recognized Hu Yuan as Zhengshuo. During the thirteen Northern Expeditions at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty completed the liquidation, and beheading more than a hundred households under Anda Khan's account was also liquidation.

Now Suiyuan lacks a prince to guard it. If there is a prince to guard it, it will be perfect.

"Mrs. Zhongshun is tired of traveling and traveling, and she is free of etiquette and etiquette." Zhu Yijun very much recognized Mrs. Zhongshun's performance. After all, she did not take Andahan's old and young children with her, acting obediently and submissively, but secretly doing those things.

In order to regain Suiyuan, the capital of the Ming Dynasty continued to invest more than 200 million silver each year for nine years. In order to effectively govern Suiyuan, the Ming Dynasty dispatched hundreds of bureaucrats headed by Governor Pan Jixun and invested more than million silver in Suiyuan Chidao and mining. At the same time, seven engineering regiment battalions directly under the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court were dispatched to Suiyuan, and half of the Trilateral Army's garrison station was mobilized to Hetao.

"Your Majesty, due to the expedition to Beijing, only 6 bags of rough-washed wool were expected to arrive at the factory this year. However, 10 bags arrived at the factory. Compared with 8 bags last year, it increased by 60 bags. This shows that Sui Captive grazing is indeed carried out in remote areas. This year, with 10 bags of wool, the two factories in Beijing can produce 70 pieces of woolen wool and pieces of worsted wool, a total of pieces; the wool sent to Lanzhou Woolen Factory is Twenty thousand bags, a total of about pieces of worsted and woolen woolen cloth." Wang Chonggu reported the results of the last wool tribute market in the tenth year of Wanli.

This was a huge investment from the Ming Dynasty, and it also reflected the sincerity of the imperial court.

Otherwise, Lin Fucheng would have been invited to the banquet as soon as he told the story about the murder of the whole family of He family in Gaoyang. People like You Qi in the family of Ming Gong in Chaozhong would chat with Lin Fucheng. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Ming Ming The servants of the father-in-law would start pouring out their bitter stories, explaining how the father-in-law was in trouble, how hard he worked, and how Lin Fucheng's inappropriate remarks caused all kinds of troubles.

Zhu Yijun communicated with Sanniangzi about the development of the Suiyuan area, and after having a detailed understanding of captive animal husbandry, he told Sanniangzi not to overgraze, which would lead to continued degradation of pastures. Overgrazing in a short period of time would only bring short-term benefits, but it would be The consequences will be borne by future generations, which will lead to eternal poverty. Suiyuan has gold, silver, copper, coal, etc. as supplementary output, and basic life can be guaranteed. Similarly, the imperial court will also increase investment in Suiyuan Chidao and mining, prompting the central government to develop together.

This was also the reason why Lin Fucheng wanted to leave Beijing at that time. Lin Fucheng never expected that Mr. Huang could reach such a level with his hands and eyes! He kept chatting so much, but no one came to him for tea or dinner!
No matter how bold Lin Fucheng was, he did not dare to associate Huang Gongzi with Tianben.

"Because of captivity." Zhang Juzheng answered this question succinctly. Wan Shihe knew etiquette and law, but he didn't know much about war and grassland.

"Yes, what does captivity have to do with Wang Hua?" Wan Shihe nodded and asked. He was a little confused. He was not the only one who didn't understand. Li Youzi also looked puzzled.

Liang Menglong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said with a smile: "Captivity means settling down, no longer nomadic, which means that the grassland people are losing their previous advantages. In the past, the northern barbarians lived in no fixed place, and they were as powerful as Taizu and as heroic as Chengzu. The Thirteen Northern Expeditions , after all, it is impossible to exterminate their descendants. After settling in the Northern Han Dynasty, if they raise sheep instead of horses, they can only become a part of the Ming Dynasty, and they will unswervingly support the imperial court. "

"Even if the Western Region is reopened, the border residents will become a help to the Ming Dynasty, rather than a hindrance."

After Wan Shi and General Liang Menglong carefully understood these words, they suddenly realized!
"At first, His Majesty gave me a wool pusher, a wool brushing board, and a prescription. Later, he sent the special envoy Xu Jiugao from Taixi to bring back high-quality forage. The purpose was to reduce the number of horses and more sheep in the grassland. Now it seems , this goal is being achieved step by step." Wang Chonggu talked about the past, blocking the holes in the Great Wall. After Wang Chonggu returned to Beijing, he took the lead in the wool business.

This was a tremendous amount of wealth, and Wang Chonggu took it.

Zhu Yijun looked at the courtiers, shook his head and said: "Actually, I just watched the Spanish royal family, the Mesta Association controlled by Felipe II, make a lot of money in the woolen business, but the money in the court was empty at that time. The main purpose of losing money is to make money.”

The Ming Emperor emphasized that the main purpose in the early days was to make money, but now the main purpose is to become a king. "Is there any possibility that the product will not be sold?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked. With nearly one million pieces of wool produced every year, Zhu Yijun would inevitably worry about the possibility of overproduction.

If the supply of products is sufficient but the demand is not strong enough, then the products can only be reduced in price and promoted, and the profits will be lowered. In addition, the inherent bloat and rigidity of the official factory will reduce the return on assets and even be unable to maintain its normal operation. This is Lin Fucheng I said loudly at the beginning that the government-factory alliance was bound to fail.

Wang Chonggu said quite accurately: "The demand for woolen fabrics is still very strong. After all, Suiyuan and Liaodong both require a large amount of woolen fabrics. The scale of production will continue to grow. There is a possibility that it cannot be sold. There is no such thing as Moderating the scale of expansion is also a kind of rigidity.”

"You don't have to worry about it in the short term. It won't be a problem for at least ten years."

With one million pieces of wool produced every year, there will not be a surplus problem at all now. As long as it can be weaved, it can be sold. But in ten or twenty years, with the expansion of the scale of breeding in Suiyuan, the Ming Dynasty wool There may really be a glut problem.

Daming needs a potential market.

Taixi is a good dumping ground. In fact, the strategy has been very clear before. Distribute goods on a large scale, destroy its fragile handicraft workshops, and then start dumping. The market competition is so cruel.

It is also necessary to continuously adjust internal contradictions. Ming Dynasty itself is the largest consumer market, and stimulating domestic demand is a meticulous job.

Wang Chonggu actually vaguely felt that overproduction and overpopulation were false propositions, but the scale of official factories had not developed to that huge level. At least in the current Ming Dynasty, there was no worry about overproduction.

The winter in the north is severe, and three woolen factories have to produce hundreds or even thousands of years of wool to produce just one piece of wool per person.

"Your Majesty, a huge sum of 298 million silver suddenly arrived at Songjiang Prefecture from the Nagasaki Governor's Palace two years ago. Has anything changed in Nagasaki?" Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Accounts, said with great concern. This looks a bit like an entrustment. It's the same thing, this sum of money is like the last ripple of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.

Xu Wei was an out-and-out lunatic. The officials who came from the Jiajing Dynasty knew this clearly. A lunatic who felt that he had killed Hu Zongxian and committed suicide seven times came out of the prison and lived in confusion until he went there. Nagasaki finally found its direction again and destroyed the Japanese.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "I don't know very well. Governor Xu made the matter very clear, but I can't guess what Oda Nobunaga will do."

"Your Majesty, I think that the possibility of Oda Nobunaga's military conquest is very small. Shangshan, Gohojo, Mori, and Nagasou's tribe are all eyeing him. He must first unify the main island of Japan before he can plan for Nagasaki." Zhang Juzheng stood. He stood up, stood in front of the map, and made a judgment as the chief assistant.

The Ming Navy defeated the Japanese invaders at the Governor's Palace in Nagasaki. Oda Nobunaga could not do anything in a short period of time.

(The third Oda siege)
"If Mouri Terumoto, Nagasogabe, Uesugi Kagekatsu, and Hojo Ujinao can unite with Oda Nobunaga, the Nagasaki Governor's Palace will be very dangerous." Zhang Juzheng looked at the courtiers and then looked at His Majesty and said: "According to common sense, brothers who are fighting against each other can still resist their humiliation. As a citizen of the world, Oda Nobunaga can definitely call on the daimyo to fight against the Ming Dynasty."

"It's a pity that the Japanese did not learn this. For them, internal strife is more important than anything else."

Zhang Juzheng was also worried that after the Nagasaki Governor-General issued treasure banknotes, other daimyo would be wary, and then gathered under the name of Oda Nobunaga to drive the Ming forces out of the Japanese country. But in the end, Zhang Juzheng was sure that the Japanese country would not achieve This kind of alliance.

"Sir rarely makes such a sure judgment." Zhu Yijun curiously asked Zhang Juzheng the reason for his judgment.

"Because the victory will not stop." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, during the war against the Japanese, Yan Song and Xu Jie fought in the court, and Hu Zongxian, Zhang Jing, and Li Tianchong fought in the local area. The victory was really endless. This was just a party struggle. If A direct armed conflict is a non-stop conflict and cannot be stopped without a conclusion.”

The internal conflicts in the Japanese country have intensified to the point of fighting with each other, and there is no possibility of forming an alliance.

"What you said makes sense." Zhu Yijun recognized Zhang Juzheng's judgment.

The Ming Dynasty and the Japanese Kingdom were in conflict. Even if there was no direct military conflict, there were economic, political, and financial conflicts. They fought with each other for several rounds. The focus of the entire confrontation was that the Ming Dynasty was preventing Oda Nobunaga from unifying the Japanese Kingdom and organizing the Japanese Empire. Tian Nobunaga must complete the great cause of unifying the Japanese country under many difficulties before he can have a chance of winning.

It was difficult for Oda Nobunaga to defeat the daimyo who opposed him in a short period of time, because the Ming Dynasty was selling arms to Japan and arming these Warring States daimyo, and through seigniorage, several Warring States daimyo were greatly enriched.

The time has come to test whether Oda Nobunaga is the true destined master of the Japanese country. The Ming Dynasty gave Oda Nobunaga a wave of intensity.

The New Deal implemented in the 10th year of Wanli, including the census of Dingkou and the abolition of lowly slave status, has not been completed this year. Only Nanya and Beiya have completely completed the census of Dingkou and the abolition of lowly slave status. The rest will have to wait until next year. , the abolition of the slave status means that the court no longer recognizes the status of slaves and the contract of sale at the legal level. If you want to truly gain personal freedom, what needs to be changed is the production relationship.

"The Ministry of Rites has decided on the agenda for the first Ming Dynasty Technology Progress Award after the Spring Festival, and we will prepare the awards after the New Year." Zhu Yijun arranged the last few things before the New Year. Wei Youshan, who created ammonia, wanted to leave his name in history.

Zhu Yijun mentioned this matter, and a heated discussion immediately broke out in the court. Ming Dynasty was an agricultural country, and encouraging farmers and mulberry trees was the first priority. Regarding the emergence of water and fertilizer, the courtiers burst out with unparalleled enthusiasm.

There were sufficient discussions on the raw materials for production, the production process, the transportation of water and fertilizer, the application of water and fertilizer, how to preserve it, the proportion of fertilization, etc. At this moment, Wang Chonggu felt the feeling of being watched by everyone, and he introduced it quite excitedly. All kinds of water and fertilizer answered the questions of the ministers one after another.

"The biggest feature of water fertilizer is that it can be made from coal gangue. The coal gangue is put into an earth kiln and after distillation, it can still be used as a raw material for firing cement. Xishan Coal Bureau is currently exploring and hopes to bake it in a cement factory. In this way , the cost will also drop significantly!" When Wang Chonggu said this, his face was extremely rosy.

Zhang Juzheng asked about the cost. If it really wants to be promoted on a large scale, cost is the key.

The raw materials are cheap, the firing is simple, and the process flow is not complicated. These are the advantages of water fertilizer. It is one of the products of the coal and steel joint venture.

"It's so good, it's so good, Wang Cifu is really helping the country!" Zhang Juzheng was very excited when he heard this. Low cost is the best. If the cost is too high, it will not be conducive to large-scale promotion.

Wang Chonggu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's all the work of the great craftsman Wei Youshan. If Yuan Fu is here, if you pass the credit to me, wouldn't it be an act of stealing from heaven? I don't dare to say that, I don't dare to say that."

Zhang Juzheng said with emotion: "Wang Cifu did a good job in presiding over the Xishan Coal Bureau."

Wei Youshan is not Wang Chonggu's Xishan Coal Bureau, but he is just a smart craftsman. The talent selection of the official factory and the engineering corps has already produced results. This is the biggest surprise.

"Wang Cifu, what you said makes sense. To show that you need more than just yourself, not Wang Cifu, this coal bureau is not what it is today." Qi Jiguang rarely praised Wang Chonggu in the court.

Qi Jiguang never had a good attitude toward Wang Chonggu. When Wang Chonggu led the capital camp and Qi Jiguang went to Beijing to receive the reward, the Jin Party prevented Qi Jiguang from being ennobled and even killed someone. After the initial conflict, Qi Jiguang never said a good word to Wang Chonggu again, and even If you can't communicate, you won't communicate.

But this time, Qi Jiguang knew that the water and fertilizer was of great significance, so he gave Wang Chonggu a rare compliment and affirmed Wang Chonggu's contribution.

"Oh? Really? Ah, haha." Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He said extremely modestly: "I just did something that I should do. It's nothing. It's really nothing. You guys are really complimentary. Absolutely amazing.”

Qi Jiguang's recognition made Wang Chonggu feel a little relieved. In recent years, Qi Jiguang, who had led the Beijing camp to win numerous victories, had become the hereditary Duke of Fengguo in the Ming Dynasty, and was the Wu Xun who sat in charge of the Wenhua Hall. Wu Xun head.

Qi Jiguang didn't care about the conflict that year, just because he didn't want the blade to turn inward, it didn't mean he didn't care. Even when Wang Chonggu wanted to ensure that the Beijing camp's attack would not be hindered by the rear, Qi Jiguang didn't say a good word to Wang Chonggu when he purged the party internally.

Today's recognition is not reconciliation, but recognition of his achievements, which is already extremely precious.

People always have to pay for the mistakes they make. Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang's prejudice and even hatred towards Wang Chonggu is a continuation of what happened back then.

"Trial production will begin next year." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "While practicing and summing up experience, the pilot project will be started in Gyeonggi Province first, and then slowly rolled out."

“Agriculture is the first priority for all industries. When agriculture flourishes, all industries will prosper.”

The capital is preparing to celebrate the New Year, and as far away as the West, some people are also actively preparing to celebrate the New Year, that is, the Ming Dynasty sent the special envoy to the West, the Portuguese Minister of State Xu Fan. After Xu Jie died, Xu Fan crossed the ocean and came to the West. After leaving, he returned to the West. The Ming Dynasty is far away. The distance is one aspect, and the death of my father is another aspect.

To be a stranger in a foreign country alone, think of love every time during the festive season.

Xu Fan and Chen Dazhuang simply prepared for the New Year in the Chinese Hall of the Royal Palace of Sintra in Portugal, and King Antonio of Portugal also sent many gifts. The New Year is a very important festival for the people of Ming Dynasty.

"My Minister of State, it seems that you have not sent your blessing to my child. As a wise man from the East and an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, your blessing to the child is very important." Antonio brought the duchess to the Chinese Hall. The Duchess was pregnant. Even the Vatican sent people to bless the Duchess for her pregnancy, but Xu Fan never gave her blessing.

Xu Fan didn't know how to give his blessing, so he chose to change the subject and said: "The Ming Dynasty's ships came from Songjiang Prefecture and have arrived in the Free City. Your Highness, what are you going to choose? Should you open the port of Lisbon to accept these ships?"

"Of course!" Antonio said with certainty: "I am King Antonio who has been consecrated by His Majesty. Is there anyone more suitable than me? No more! This is really wonderful. I may become the richest king in the entire West. !”

Accepting these ships means that all the cotton on the ships will be eaten by Antonio, and Antonio can happily become a second-rate dealer.

The ocean-going caravan jointly organized by the five major shipping companies has successfully crossed the violent Atlantic Ocean and arrived at Liberty City. Seville is also known as the trading house of the New World. Local businessmen are actively contacting the captain Liu Ji of the ocean-going trading company. Hope to be able to eat this batch of cotton.

It is impossible for a big ship to stay for a long time. The transaction cycle is too long, so a second-tier dealer is needed. Antonio is also actively communicating and has initially reached a consensus.
