My Daming New Empire

The screening system was established by Daming, who put aside the merchants who contacted from Hulumos and re-recruited people from Marin.

The people here and the Moors who have ruled Spain for hundreds of years can be said to be a nation. They may not have enough knowledge of other languages, but they are very proficient in Portuguese and Spanish.

But this is not enough, because in Europe now, the tide of the Renaissance has led to a period of rapid updating of language and writing.

The language and characters of various countries have changed a lot, and they are not like Chinese, the characters do not need to change, what changes is the way of combination.

Their changes are to form different words one by one, and many words have nothing to do with the original words.

Those language experts in Daming have a somewhat rigid way of thinking, which makes it impossible for them to become familiar with their set of changes in a short period of time.

However, no matter what, the current Daming is taking the initiative to understand the outside world, instead of closing the door and caring what is outside.

This is the greatest progress in the East!

That afternoon, the Portuguese left Ceuta with weapons, and they left Daming with a complete fortress.

However, the envoys from various countries who received the letter of credence did not leave, and were allowed to rest at the port of Ceuta, and were received by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty the next day to discuss trade matters.

These envoys who were allowed to stay at the port cherished this opportunity to get in touch with Daming very closely. In their pens, each piece of information was recorded.

"My respected Majesty the King, I am sure that this Ming Dynasty is the country of gold described by Marco Polo. They are so powerful and rich that even soldiers can wear soft silk and use exquisite porcelain. Their food is so exquisite , is like a series of works of art, people can't bear to eat. But when you put these foods in your mouth, you will find that your life is completely wasted. It turns out that there are so many beautiful things in life, and we But there is a lack of channels and ways to learn and understand."

"My dear Maria, when I was sent by the Minister of State to understand Daming, I originally thought that I would face fierce enemies and lose my life. But when I got in close contact with these Daming people, I realized that , Compared with them, I am a barbarian. Their soldiers are polite and have strict discipline. When they see us, although they try their best to restrain themselves, they can't help but hold their noses. You can't believe that they They all have to take a bath, even the dirtiest soldiers, they seem to be more pure than the saints. We used to be proud that we never took a bath, but now, the discrimination in their eyes makes me feel like the dirtiest Dirty hog."

"I can't imagine that the other party can build a huge boat ten times larger than ours. If we can also have such a big boat in Castile, I believe the sea will not stop us."

"I finally saw Daming's musket clearly. Although I couldn't touch it with my own hands, I could see that their muskets were ten times more exquisite than ours. They were like works of art. Behind the barrel, there was a beak-shaped hammer, This is the secret that the musket does not need to be ignited. If I can study it for a few months, I believe I can imitate it myself."

"Oh my god, what did I see! The craftsmen of Ming Dynasty worked together to build a palace on the top of the mountain in just half a day with the wood transported from the boat and the golden tiles. Tomorrow I will be able to go to that palace to be received by their Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, so I can't help feeling excited."

Regardless of how shocked those European bumpkins who had never seen the world were, Zhu Zhanji began to issue orders one after another after he was sure that Ceuta had been obtained.

The main force of the fleet will stay in Ceuta, receive Ceuta, and expand the port and fort.

The more important thing is to send more than sixteen missions, each with ten warships, to various countries, and carry out trade negotiations with various countries with commercial samples.

In addition to the Europeans, there are also the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Dynasty, all of which are the targets of Ming's upcoming trade.

In addition to gold and silver, it is also necessary to determine the materials that countries can exchange with Ming.

For example, European horses, wool, white paper from the Ottoman Empire, etc., are all goods that Ming is willing to ask for.

European papermaking technology was passed down from the Tang Dynasty, but they did not know how to use brushes, so Eastern paper was not suitable for them.

However, they absorbed the papermaking process of the Tang Dynasty and added starch to make the paper tougher and can be written with a hard pen.

In the East, only expensive rice paper can match the quality of their paper, but the cost is much higher.

Therefore, in today's ordinary paper technology, the West has actually gone ahead of the East, and paper can also become a commodity that they can't afford much, and Daming is willing to want.

All missions will take these envoys to various countries to communicate, and the letter of credence is still in the fixed format determined by Zhu Zhanji, written in Ming and Latin.

This trade certificate does not overemphasize the issue of political status, only talks about economy and free trade, and gives the basic prices of various commodities.

The prices of all commodities are only about half of the current prices in Europe, but for Daming, it is still dozens of times the profit.

Only half the selling price, which means that these luxuries and necessities of Daming will inevitably usher in a sales peak.

Before the Europeans react, make a fortune from them first.

The so-called free trade means that Ming has the right to free trade, and all countries must open their doors to trade with Ming.

Of course, Daming was not unruly, and gave a tariff share of 5.00% of the trade volume. The more goods traded, the more taxes the trading country could collect.

Under such mutually beneficial conditions, if you still can't understand Daming's painstaking efforts and are unwilling to trade with Daming, then don't blame Daming for bullying others.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, European countries should be willing to trade, especially Venice, which was founded on business, and their economic strength should be the strongest among European countries.

But like the Ottoman Empire, they are not necessarily willing to see Da Ming leave them alone and trade directly with European countries. This will directly cut off their roots!

Therefore, the mission sent to Constantinople is also the largest. In addition to going to Constantinople, they will also go to Nilsa, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

In addition, there is another fleet that will go to Jerusalem, which is currently ruled by the Mamluk dynasty, which is nominally ruled by the Mamluk dynasty, but is now a free area.

This city, originally named after peace, is now the biggest crime city.

Dozens of different nationalities live in this city, most of them are adventurers, spies, and killers.

Saracens, Greeks, Syrians, Armenians, Georgians, Maronites, Bedouins all claim ownership, and believers of the three major sects also claim that it is their holy city.

The two embassy missions and the missions to Greece will be in close contact, and if they encounter difficulties with each other, they will fight back unceremoniously.

Although the Ottomans trembled under the iron hooves of Timur, and the kings were captured and put in cages as monkeys for people to watch, bullying Europeans was like playing games.

Decades later, they occupied Constantinople, destroyed Byzantium, and occupied Jerusalem. It was not until the twentieth century that the British finally snatched it back.

This country can be said to be Europe's nightmare, bullying Europe for hundreds of years.It was under their bullying that the Europeans cut off their hope of developing eastward on land, so they insisted on developing navigation and achieved a strong and prosperous Europe.

Of course Zhu Zhanji doesn't want this matter to continue to develop like this. He can't make the Ottomans so powerful and leave a window for the Europeans so that they won't be forced to take risks at sea.

Zhu Zhanji would rather let Europeans go to the East by land than let them enter the age of great navigation.

It is more in the interests of the Chinese to leave America and Australia to the Chinese.

Therefore, Ottoman's power must be contained, and the name Constantinople sounds a little better than Istanbul.

The night after the war was noisy, and the Marlins sent many female slaves to build a chicken village at the border of the mainland in the southwest of Ceuta.

This chicken village is still in the hands of the Marin people. The soldiers of Ming Dynasty went to have fun and had to pay according to the agreement. This is also a channel to increase the income of the Marin people.

The Marin people are a branch of the Semites in the desert, and they belong to the white race. Their women are a little smelly and tall, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the oriental people.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't understand why people in Daming like fat people nowadays, even petite women, as long as they have a big butt, they are more popular than tall women.

Most of Marin's women are relatively fat, so they are especially popular with Ming soldiers.

There are not too many heart diseases now, and ordinary heart diseases can be treated in Ming Dynasty's life. As for the incurable AIDS, it is a terminal illness that only appeared in the [-]th century. It does not exist at all now, so Zhu Zhanji is not worried about heart disease. affect combat effectiveness.

Of course, these are just temporary actions. If you want to reassure the soldiers stationed here in Daming, it is the most cost-effective to send each of them a woman.

With a woman, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have a concern and are more willing to guard the land here.

When Zhu Zhanji brought this decision up for discussion, all the armies originally regarded the stationing in Ceuta as a hard job, but now they are rushing to stay.

Anyway, there is only three years at most. If you stay here for three years, you will be able to get a wife. If you are lucky, when you go back, you will not be alone, but will go back with your family.

Zhu Zhanji was extremely busy after the war, not only for the distribution of military exploits, but also for the different countermeasures of European countries, and a basic method needs to be set first.
