Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 594: Those Are All Gu’S Spices, Ming Dynasty’S Money! [Please Subscribe, Please Order In Ful

After listening to Yan Changqing's introduction, Prince Zhu Biao looked at Seran Island and the surrounding Maluku Islands not far away from them with bright eyes, and couldn't help but say:

“Since there are so many spices on the island, why do I wait for the boat to dock and go ashore to collect spices?!!”

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, both officials and common people had a huge demand for spices.

However, this is mainly because various spices have many uses.

For example, spices such as Duheng, Yuelinxiang, spikenard, storax, turmeric, naduo, Heluo, clove, agarwood, sandalwood, musk, borneol, ambergris, etc. can be used to make incense and incense.

These incense and incense are relatively popular in the homes of wealthy people such as officials, wealthy people, and wealthy households.

Another example is Xin Yi, which has the effect of dispelling wind and cold, clearing the lungs and clearing the nose.

Yangchun Sha has the functions of reducing dampness and appetizing, warming the spleen and stopping diarrhea, regulating qi and relieving miscarriage.

Clove has the effects of warming the middle and lowering the adverse effects, warming the kidneys and tonifying yang.

Cinnamon has the effects of warming the spleen and stomach, dispelling wind and cold, promoting blood circulation and promoting pulse, and has an inhibitory effect on hepatitis dysentery bacteria.

There are also various other spices that can be used as medicinal materials.

In addition to being used for making incense, burning incense, and medicinal purposes, it is also the most common flavoring use.

For example, the magnolia, Yangchunsha, clove, and cinnamon mentioned just now can be used as seasonings in addition to being used medicinally.

In addition, there are Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cumin, laurel, ginger, angelica, pepper, licorice, 190 lemongrass, etc., which are also good choices as seasonings.

These spices and seasonings are also very popular among the people.

Coupled with the huge population base of 60 million in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that no matter how much spices are transported back to the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty can digest it!!!

At this moment, Seran Island and the surrounding Maluku Islands, in the eyes of Prince Zhu Biao, are treasure islands full of money. Now they are waiting for them to stop the boat and dock to pick up money!!!

Prince Zhu Biao estimated that as long as he filled the battleship at his feet with the spices and transported them back to the Ming Dynasty for sale, he would be able to earn at least 100,000 yuan!!!

If converted into coins, it would be one hundred coins.

It may not sound like much, but don't forget, they now have thousands of ships of various sizes. If they can fill them all and transport them back to the Ming Dynasty for sale, then they can conservatively earn at least one hundred thousand yuan!!!

And this is just one trip. If you come ten times, it will cost one million yuan!

If you come here a hundred times, that’s tens of millions of dollars!!

If you come here a thousand times, that’s hundreds of millions of dollars!!!

Thinking of this, Prince Zhu Biao's breathing became rapid.

Whether it was his past experience in supervising the country and assisting the government, or his experience in governing local areas in the past three years, he realized a very profound truth.

That is: money may not be everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible!! (bhch)!

No matter what kind of construction or what we do, we are short of money, short of money, seriously short of money!!!

So now that he saw such an opportunity to pick up money, Prince Zhu Biao's thoughts were all about going there to pick up money, pick up money, pick up money!!!

However, Yan Changqing did not immediately stop the boat and dock to pick up spices as Prince Zhu Biao said. Instead, he asked another question:

"Spice or sea fish, which is more important?!!"

Prince Zhu Biao was stunned, not quite understanding why Yan Changqing suddenly asked such a question.

Looking at Prince Zhu Biao's puzzled look, Yan Changqing further spoke:

"If you want spices, you have to dock the boat and go ashore to pick up the spices."

"And if you want to pick up a fleet full of spices, it will take at least ten days and a half, more than half a month, or even one or two months!"

"Even if someone has picked up all the spices on the island in advance, we only need to wait for us to stop the ship and dock to carry it on board."

"But for a fleet with thousands of ships, it would take at least two or three days to transport them all to the ship, and it would take up to four or five days.

"Normally, we go out to sea for fishing once, and the round trip takes about seven to eight days, so we can basically go out to sea four times a month.

"What I just said, taking the initiative to go ashore and spend ten days and a half to collect spices is too stupid, so I won't consider it for now."

"We just pretend that someone has picked up the spices for us on the shore in advance, and we just need to carry them onto the ship."

"Even in this way, it means that the time we go out to sea to fish will be extended from the original seven to eight days to nine to 11 days, and even to 11 to 13 days! !!”

"And this means that the number of times we go fishing in a month will drop from four times a month to three times a month, or even twice a month."

"It also means that the number of marine fish caught in a month will drop from the original 30 million jins to 22.5 million jins, or even around 15 million jins.

"Twenty-two and a half million jins of salted fish, or 15 million jins of salted fish. If it were made into salted fish, the 60 million people of the Ming Dynasty would barely be able to eat salted fish meat once a month at most!"

"And this is a big step away from what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally promised, to make the people of Ming Dynasty able to eat meat every now and then!"

"So I asked Your Highness, which is more important, spices or sea fish?!!"

"If spices are important, then His Royal Highness can order the ship to stop and go to the island to collect the spices now!!!"

"If sea fish are important, then we will continue to sail forward!!!"

After saying that, Yan Changqing lowered his eyes and waited quietly for Prince Zhu Biao to make a decision.

After listening to what Yan Changqing said about Prince Zhu Biao, he immediately came to his senses, and then his face became tangled.

He wanted the spices. After all, they were all money, and they were so easy to pick up. It was no different from giving them away for free!!!

But he also wants sea fish. After all, the quantity of sea fish is the key to whether the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat meat every now and then in the future!!!

But now, you can’t have both!!!

Prince Zhu Biao, who had weighed for a while but still had not made a decision, looked up at Yan Changqing with a troubled expression and asked:

“Can’t we have both fish and spices?!!”

Yan Changqing raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on Prince Zhu Biao again, and said in a gentle tone:

"Yes, but not now!"

"The year after next, the Ming Navy's fleet will expand to three thousand!!"

"At that time, the Ming Navy will be able to maintain the supply of marine fish and at the same time dedicate a part of the navy fleet to transport spices!!!"

After receiving Yan Changqing's reply, Prince Zhu Biao quickly calculated in his mind:

[If you are transshipping spices, you can transship about three times a month!!!]

[The income from one trip is about 100,000 guan, which is 300,000 guan in one month, 3.6 million guan in one year, and 720 guan in two years!!!]

[This means that in the past two years before the Ming Navy was able to free up its hands and dedicate part of its naval fleet to transport spices, the Ming Dynasty wasted at least 7.2 million dollars worth of spices?!!]

As soon as the figure of 7.2 million yuan was found, Prince Zhu Biao felt as if his heart was bleeding!!!

Seven million and two hundred thousand dollars!

Obviously you can pick up the money if you go to School Disciple!!

But now he can't School Disciple to pick it up, he can only watch the money continue to stay in the Spice Islands!!!

If someone took advantage of Ming Dynasty's lack of money in the past two years and secretly picked up all the spices on the Spice Islands, wouldn't Ming Dynasty lose 7.2 million yuan?!

When he thought of this, Prince Zhu Biao felt not only bleeding, but also angry!!!

【These are all Gu’s spices, these are all Ming Dynasty’s money!!!】

Perhaps he inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's stingy and domineering temperament, although Prince Zhu Biao has not yet set foot on the Spice Islands in person.

But at this moment, in his heart, the Spice Islands in front of him were already his Spice Islands, and even more so, the Spice Islands of Ming Dynasty!!!

And anyone else who tries to get involved in the Spice Islands in front of him is stealing his money and Ming Dynasty's money!!!
