Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 370 Jewish Merchant
The distribution of the Jewish people in Eurasia is actually very wide. They also have a large population in Eastern Europe, but it is the same as anywhere. The status of the Jews is very low. They are mainly engaged in business activities and cannot legally own property in many places. Migration is carried out incessantly, and large bribes are contributed to the local authorities.

The regimes and nobles in almost every European country despise the Jews, but they will also use them. These groups, which are often able to carry out commercial activities without fear of hardship, are also the power that all countries need, but when they develop to a certain level, will be sheared.

Before time travel, Bai Mingxiu read history books and observed society. He once had a feeling that in the era of capitalism, it would naturally favor the Jews who had a strong concept of money and business. That's why the Jews with low status in the feudal era appeared. The age of capitalism has become a major force in the world.Under the Jin Yuan politics, the Jews have mastered a considerable amount of political power in the most powerful country in the world.

However, at this time, the Jews were still an unpopular group in all countries.

Bai Mingxiu saw the very thin Jewish fur trader with thin hair, named Georgi.The fur merchant came up and said hello to Bai Mingxiu in Buryat language, and Duanmuwen said: "Use Russian, we are not Mongolians, but Han."

Giorgi quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "Han people! Great Han people! They have established the most powerful country in the world, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. Gold is everywhere, and sages are everywhere!"

Bai Mingxiu liked to listen to flattery very much, so he said, "You are quite knowledgeable."

"Noble Commander, I can feel the difference in your status as soon as I see you. You have a bearing that ordinary nobles don't have, and you are full of self-cultivation. You are both a highly educated scholar and a brave man. Noble general, my God, I can't imagine what kind of country can have a genius like you!"

This flattery was already very nasty, but Bai Mingxiu still listened to it as usual, he said casually: "I said that I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, would you believe me?"

This time it was Qiaoerji's turn to break out in cold sweat. He thought it was a proposition. No matter in any country, pretending to be an emperor or king is a very serious crime. He couldn't think of why this young officer would do this. Kind of a bad luck joke.

Bai Mingxiu didn't talk about it, but said: "I heard that you just came to Lake Baikal not long ago, and you came here to collect furs, right?"

Giorgi quickly replied: "Yes, I'm just an insignificant ordinary merchant, collecting some furs from the Far East and selling them back to Europe. My capital is not big, and I can only bring back less than a hundred furs every year. I can't make any money." Too much money."

He said this because he was afraid of extortion, but he was indeed not a big businessman, otherwise he would not have come to Lake Baikal to collect furs.

"Relax, Georgi, I still don't like your little ransom. Now you are a prisoner of our Daming. If you want to regain your freedom, you have to consider what you can pay for Daming."

Georgi immediately said: "I have some channels in Moscow that can provide you with various news and intelligence from Moscow. I think this should be helpful to Ming Dynasty!"

Basically, all countries will use business travel as a channel to spy on information, but Daming is very far away from Europe, and Georgi doesn't know whether his proposal will be approved by Bai Mingxiu.

In fact, Bai Mingxiu was full of ambitions to interfere in European affairs from the time he transmigrated, but at that time he needed to save the country, but now that the situation in Ming Dynasty was settled, Bai Mingxiu began to pay more attention to the external situation, especially Europe as the main competitor. It's what he needs to know.

Daming Jinyiwei has actually begun to try to build its own intelligence network in Europe. It is currently working through the trade routes between Portugal and Britain, initially working with chambers of commerce, diplomatic embassies and consulates, but it will definitely not be so flexible.Bai Mingxiu will definitely need a more diverse and multi-level intelligence system.

Bai Mingxiu smiled at Qiaoerji, and said, "How do you expect me to trust you? Let you go, return to Europe, and run away as soon as you keep it, and never have any contact with my people."

Giorgi hurriedly said: "No! I swear to God, we Jews are very honest!"

Bai Mingxiu shook his head: "As far as I know, you Jews don't have a good reputation in Europe."

Giorgi originally thought that Bai Mingxiu didn't know much about Europe, but he seemed to be very familiar with the Jewish people, which made Georgie a little worried.

"Deceit, mercenary, catering to the powerful, these are the characteristics of your Jews, I am actually a person without prejudice, but if there are stereotypes, then there must be some reason."

Giorgi shook his head desperately, "No, sir, I, Giorgi, am a very loyal person, all my family and friends can testify!"

Bai Mingxiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Giorgi, I never believe in a person's empty promises, only the binding of interests and the mechanism of checks and balances can make a person or a thing play the role it should play. I can let you go back to Europe, but you will be under the watchful eyes of the people I send. In fact, we already have our own intelligence network in Europe. You work for me, and I can provide you with some other Things, such as making you one of the largest businessmen in Europe, allowing you to distribute some of the goods that are in short supply from Daming. But relatively, you are a member of the country of Daming. If you betray Daming and do anything against the interests of Daming, then Haha, you will die miserably, not only you will die, but the things you care about around you, and even the ethnic group behind you will be angered by me."

Bai Mingxiu showed his trademark white teeth again, and said with a smile, "Trust me, I can do what I say. You don't know what kind of power I have."

For some reason, Qiaoerji really believed in Bai Mingxiu. He felt a clear coercion. Every word of this young-looking Chinese man carried a magical power that made him believe him. Georgi is also very aware of how terrifying this huge empire in the Far East is.The Europeans have been expelled from Daming's backyard, and they can only do business with them if they obey Daming's orders.

However, Giorgi, who also had the spirit of gambling, still gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, I am willing to become Daming's intelligence officer to serve Daming and you! Please send your men to monitor me, and I will definitely be able to complete everything you want ordered!"
