From the end of Jiajing to the era of great pirates

Chapter 7 The booming trade in the second world

There is nothing to say about the Xu family's visit. It is nothing more than to clear up misunderstandings, reassure the Zheng family, and at the same time give the Xu family themselves peace of mind.

The Xu family's power is trying to control the common people, but Hai Rui hasn't come yet after all.But dealing with the Zheng family who could turn into outlaws at any time, it was a bit unsatisfactory.

After this visit, two hundred guards were quickly sent from the Qi family army, which was regarded as a guarantee.Normal desperadoes would not be easily provoked, but Zhu Jue didn't take it to heart at all. After all, he had warned him that if he really led the team personally, the Xu family would be destroyed as well, unless the Qi family army could send 2000 or [-] people to destroy the Xu family. Defend it as a fortress.

Anyway, the Xu family's retreat has sounded the alarm to all forces that are interested in taking a bite, and it has also paved the way for Zhu Jue's two-world trade plan.

It was just a small-scale wine trade before, but when Zhu Jue took a closer look, he discovered that the main output products of the pirate world are actually very similar to the Caribbean on Earth. They are mainly tobacco, wine, coffee, and a small amount of precious metals. If you really look closely, If you do, you might be able to find the three great artifacts of time travel, sweet potatoes, corns and potatoes.

This was a big surprise. Zhu Jue found it and went looking for it immediately. Sure enough, he found sweet potatoes and potatoes, and he also found corn. However, the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River are not suitable for growing this. At least before taking over Shandong, there should be no place to grow it. .Probably, among the time travellers, he is the only one who has such extravagant worries.

With so much potential discovered, trade between the two worlds naturally became prosperous.A large amount of wine, tobacco, and coffee were bought, and silk, raw silk, and rice wine were sold here. It was like moving the Caribbean of the Great Voyage to the opposite side of East Asia, and then directly carrying out trade.The prosperity of this trade made Zhu Jue a little worried, as it would be bad if it attracted the attention of the Tianlong people.But considering the intelligence capabilities and reaction speed of the world boss here, he wasn't worried anymore. Anyway, by the time they checked over there, [-]% of his rebellion in the Ming Dynasty had been completed.

Zhu Jue also deliberately controlled the scale of trade, because as the time approached the end of the Ming Dynasty, his demand would change, and he could not start cultivating the pirate market in the East China Sea immediately. There would definitely be chaos by then.Fortunately, the scale of this trade is not large, and it will not become big for a while. It can only be cultivated slowly.Now that we have a chart of the East China Sea, we have discovered a Kingdom of Candana, which can be slowly cultivated as a food base, and even purchased at high prices from time to time. Naturally, more people will grow food.

As for tobacco, the tobacco in the Caribbean is not the poisonous kind. It was only started by a bunch of East India companies when they arrived in Southeast Asia. Today's tobacco can actually be regarded as a tax on the rich.People with little wealth can't afford it, or they can only buy the cheapest pure grass leaves, and then roll them up and smoke them by themselves.It's just the Ming Dynasty's commercial tax that really left Zhu Jue speechless.

Coffee is a good drink. It comes from outside anyway. It is said that some people bought it and presented it to the palace. Emperor Longqing also liked it, so Zhu Jue specially purchased some high-quality coffee beans and sold them through Gaogong. The officials presented it.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie fight fiercely, so when the Xu family encounters trouble, someone from Gao Gong comes to contact him. He doesn't expect to do much harm, but he also hopes that this side will give the Xu family a few hard blows and give Xu a hard blow. The arrogance of the family.

Originally, when we opened the sea and dealt with the Spanish and Portuguese, tobacco and coffee would slowly enter the Chinese market. Zhu Jue also explored a way together. At least the emperor had a good impression of the coffee he got from the sea.The emperor didn't like tobacco very much, but at most he would add tariffs to make the Spaniards spend more money.
