MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1783 Extra cash
Chapter 1783 Money is rolling in
In addition, the Northern Province Exchange was also established at this time.
In fact, this agreement is not without benefits for the nobles of European countries. Although the division of the land has been fragmented, the territories of the nobles have probably continued the tradition of thousands of years and have been divided.
In this way, the northern province, which has almost no nobles, has become extremely precious.
Merchants from all over Europe will gather here, and this place... will also become a window to Europe in the future. The agricultural products of the lords of various places need to be exchanged for currency, and goods from the Ming Dynasty and even the rest of the world need to be imported from the northern provinces. Collect and distribute.
Thus... What Liu Wenshan dominates is a futures market.
The essence of the establishment of this futures market is to thoroughly consolidate the status of Daming Banknotes.
All futures trading needs to go through this place. The currency of the transaction is naturally Daming Banknotes. No gold or silver is accepted here, which means that even if you have gold coins and silver coins in your hand, once you need a large amount of import and export For a large amount of goods, you must first go to the Xishan Bank to exchange the treasure notes, and send the gold and silver to the bank's warehouse before you can trade with the treasure notes.
If the French can barely resist, they can issue their own gold and silver coin systems internally, and then use part of the treasury funds to deposit in the Xishan Bank as a reserve for import and export to maintain their own currency issuance.
But for other small European countries, they have almost no resistance.
Of course, even France is in jeopardy at this time.
Bank, Futures Exchange, Jianye, one industry after another in Xishan, began to replicate in the northern province.
The French needed a large amount of imported goods. At first, they wanted to use the export of agricultural products to obtain a large amount of precious money.
But in fact, the pricing power of agricultural products is not in the hands of the French, and the export prices of agricultural products are often extremely low. Therefore... it didn't take long before the debts began to pile up. Immediately afterwards, the King of France had to try his best to borrow money from the Xishan Bank. began to increase gradually.
Liu Wenshan is almost laissez-faire to these princes.
He likes to borrow money.
Anyway, what is lent out is precious banknotes, but the collateral is often land and castles of real money.
Zhu Houzhao did not stay too long in Northern Province.
In fact... For Zhu Houzhao, when he realized that the whole of Europe was nothing but a mess, and there was no force that could match it, he felt lifeless and shouted to leave!
Fang Jifan is naturally not as heartless as Zhu Houzhao. It can be said that everything is waiting to be done here, and the war has just ended. Many things have not been properly arranged, so he is a little worried!
So he hurriedly ordered the Ningbo navy to reorganize all the captured Spanish ships, and recruited a group of sailors in the northern province to ensure that after the ironclad ships left Europe, the navy of the northern province could still defeat the entire European navy. That's why I decided to set sail.
But he has been away from home for a long time, not to mention that he came out suddenly, and he didn't even explain to Zhu Xiurong in person! Now that he can finally go back, Fang Jifan is very happy, especially the longer he leaves the capital, the more Fang Jifan misses it.
At the harbor, twelve ironclad ships came out with full load, and slowly left the harbor with enough fuel and supplies.
At the port, it was already full of people.
Tang Yin will stay here as the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, while Wang Xizuo is still the governor of the northern province, and the rest of the disciples will all board the ship with Fang Jifan!
At this time, Fang Jifan leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the countless people who came to see him off.
Many of these people, even Fang Jifan had never heard of it. It can be seen that they were eagerly waving to the scum of the world.
"Old Fang likes this place so much, I will keep you here." Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully.
Fang Jifan pulled his face and fell silent.
The fleet sailed all the way.
Not long after that, Fang Jifan suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Where is this going, why is it going west..." He summoned Xu Jing who was accompanying him, but he already had a faint premonition!
Xu Jing saw his teacher frowning and asked him what he said, and said in surprise: "Master, don't you know?"
Fang Jifan felt a chill down his back, which made him sad, his premonition was so effective!
I saw Xu Jingdao: "The student thought that the teacher already knew about it. His Majesty decreed the day before yesterday that he has changed the route and ordered the fleet to go all the way west to the Golden Continent. So... there is nothing wrong with taking this route."
Fang Jifan felt severe head pain again!
I, Fang Jifan, was born as a Daming man and died as a Daming ghost. I don’t want to go to Huangjinzhou.
Fang Jifan wailed in his heart, and then said angrily, "Why don't I know about this?"
"Although it was noon at that time, the student remembered that the teacher hadn't woken up yet."
Fang Jifan was furious: "Then what about afterwards, why didn't you say it afterward?"
Xu Jing said with an innocent face: "Afterwards, the student thought that the teacher already knew."
Fang Jifan: "..."
Ever since the Fang family sent a boat to the Golden Isle, although Fang Jifan talked about the benefits of the Golden Isle everywhere, in fact, Fang Jifan understood better than anyone that the Golden Isle had not yet begun to be developed. Here...more It is like a large wilderness, dotted with large and small barbarian tribes.
As for the foundation established by the Fang family here, after all, it took only fifteen years. In such a short period of time, at most it was nothing more than land reclamation.
Looking at the vast sea.
Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling depressed.
So, I had no choice but to comfort.
No matter what, I want to see my father, and my son...
As for the emperor... Fang Jifan has made up his mind that this dog emperor will never be able to lie to himself again.
Zhu Houzhao seems very proud of his cleverness.
Seeing Fang Jifan's frowning look, he couldn't help comforting Fang Jifan: "Old Fang, Lao Fang, Huangjinzhou is the home of your Fang family. A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor. Don't you think even a dog is too poor?" Why not? I managed to come out here, and although I have made some achievements, I still feel unwilling to go back like this, besides, you have so many relatives in Huangjinzhou, don’t you miss them?”
Fang Jifan's ears were soft, and he finally compromised.
…
New Qingdao Port.
As the most common pilot in the port, Fang Wenjing arrived at the port as usual.
This is the largest port in the entire Golden Continent.
There are a large number of merchant ships from all over the world and merchant ships from other places coming in and out, and the throughput is amazing.
In the entire port, there are more than 30 trestles for ships to berth, and there are a large number of warehouses nearby for cargo distribution.
Fang Wenjing had to say hello to his boss when he went to work.
The boss is a bureaucrat with a big belly. After making a simple record, he said: "Wen Jing, winter is coming. In a few days, I am afraid that there will be a fleet of ships. For these two days, you can hide and relax." , but at that time, you must not be lazy."
The boss called Fang Wenjing Wenjing, not intimacy.
Anyway, there are more than 300 people in the Department of Harbor Affairs, that is, one person is surnamed Liu, and the others are all surnamed Fang.
The alien surnamed Liu still needs to report his surname.
Others, they are too lazy to call themselves Fang.
Therefore, people here are called by their first names, not their surnames, and only heterogeneous ones will be mentioned in particular.
"Of order." Fang Wenjing cupped his fists.
Chinese New Year is coming soon.
The closer it is to the Chinese New Year, the whole Golden Continent is more important. After all, people are in a foreign land, and people cherish family reunion even more.
The only difference is that Fang Wenjing's family is a bit big.
The head of this family is His Royal Highness Prince Xinjin, and there are countless other elders.
When the time comes... as soon as the new year comes, the king of Xinjin County will personally take the elders from each house and branch of the clan to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors. After that... hundreds of thousands of Fang clansmen will start carnival.
The scale of the Fang family is extremely large in the Golden Continent, and it has become even more terrifying in the past few years.
For example, Fang Wenjing gave birth to seven children.
and most of his clan brothers of the same generation are also like this.
This Golden Island has plenty of food. If you want to reclaim wasteland, hundreds of acres of land are almost free. You only need to register.
With the addition of penicillin and the large number of talents sent here by Xishan Medical College, the survival rate of children in Golden Island is extremely high.
Fang Wenjing's heart warmed when he thought of his seven children. He was only thirty-six years old. The eldest son was almost an adult, and the youngest was still in his infancy. But no accident, his daughter-in-law might be born again. When I think of this, I feel that my life is full of meaning.
After all, there is no entertainment in Huangjinzhou, and the job of a water pilot is quite boring. Open branches and scattered leaves, after all, is a joy in life.
