Chapter 383: The Mongols' Business

Through ocean trade, the goods from the country are sold overseas and then the goods from other countries are shipped back and made another profit. This is completely huge profit.&1t;/p>

Such huge profits are now monopolized by state-owned capital consortiums. This model also limits the financial power and prevents large capital maritime merchants from continuing to grow, thus intending to touch politics.&1t;/p>

The scale of foreign trade in the ninth year of the revelation has expanded a lot, which has led to the continued increase in profits of foreign trade. The profits of state-owned capital in overseas ocean trade quickly exceeded 100 million yuan.&1t;/p>

At the same time, in terms of trade with the Mongolians, the trade volume is also continuing to rise. In order to pursue interests, the scale of sheep raised by the Mongolian nobles continued to increase, and the scale of grain imported from the Ming Dynasty began to increase, and Mongolia's economic dependence on the Ming Dynasty continued to rise.&1t;/p>

Those Mongolian nobles lived a comfortable life through this model. The types of luxury goods that the Ming Dynasty could provide to Mongolian nobles also increased with the expansion of overseas trade. The luxury goods from all over the world, Mongolian nobles could also enjoy by selling their wool, sheepskin, cowhide and other raw materials.&1t;/p>

Such a good day made the Mongolian nobles very addicted.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Mongolians have also tasted the sweetness by robbing other neighboring countries. Robbery may not be able to rob so many precious metals, but they can rob people.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty needed slaves, and the Mongols were happy to rob. The Ming Dynasty is now in the Western Regions and needs a lot of labor. At the same time, with the development of immigration, overseas immigrant areas are short of women.&1t;/p>

The problem of insufficient local pulling force and imbalance in the proportion of men and women in the population has stimulated the Ming Dynasty's demand for external population. In foreign trade, both the Middle Eastern and Portuguese sold slaves, which immediately made the state-owned capital consortium's benefit of showing slaves.&1t;/p>

How to obtain a large number of slaves?&1t;/p>

It is obviously not good to go to arrest yourself. This is an uncivilized behavior. As a country in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty naturally could not do such a bad behavior.&1t;/p>

Since you can't arrest yourself, then buy it! The Ming Dynasty is not without money. What is money nowadays? Money is commodity. The Ming Dynasty actually exchanged goods for slaves, and then used slaves to produce goods. This is a good deal.&1t;/p>

Who can provide a large number of slaves?&1t;/p>

The Portuguese are also available, and the Arabs in the Middle East are also available. But the number is not very large. So the Mongolians played their role and the robber gang began to trade humans.&1t;/p>

After Lu Xiangsheng rushed into the Central Asian grasslands, the Mongols were warned by the Ming Dynasty and had given up the idea of ​​occupying the Central Asian grasslands. However, the act of robbing other ethnic groups began to become more severe under the instigation of the Ming Dynasty. The Mongols targeted Tsarist Russia in the Volga River Basin.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty was willing to pay 30 yuan a "high price" for one person. The premise was that it was healthy and was willing to buy a foreign woman at different prices. The price was mainly determined based on age, appearance and whether it was intact.&1t;/p>

If it is a child, I bought them all together in the Ming Dynasty, and if I raise them, I will be a labor force.&1t;/p>

During the expansion of history, the most common thing the Mongols did was massacre. Now these people can be sold to the Ming Dynasty for money, and they immediately found a way out for wealth. Lin Danhan felt that this business could be done, and it was a very cost-effective business. And by cooperating with the Ming Dynasty to engage in such a business, the Ming Dynasty was willing to sell more weapons and equipment to Mongolia.&1t;/p>

So the Mongols began to sweep the grasslands of Central Asia. One by one, the nomads in Central Asia were defeated by the Mongols, and all of these populations were sold to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

After these slaves came to the Ming Dynasty, they were basically impossible to escape because they were far away from their hometown, because they didn't know where to escape and were completely unfamiliar with the situation outside.&1t;/p>

At the same time, when the Ming Dynasty used these slaves, they turned them into contract slaves, that is, contract workers. The contract workers could also get a certain amount of reward through labor, and also had certain guarantees for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Life was not too hard. Moreover, because of the reward, it also increased the enthusiasm for production and resistance to a certain extent.&1t;/p>

These slaves have a great demographic dividend and are capable of doing dirty and tiring work. And those alien women are sold in large quantities to overseas colonies with severely dysfunctional male-female ratios, allowing single men who immigrated past to form families.&1t;/p>

There is not much problem with mixed race. These Central Asian aliens are not black people, and are completely acceptable groups. As Han people, their parents can integrate into Han culture without any obstacles.&1t;/p>

The money earned by Mongolian trafficking was transferred back by the Ming Dynasty by exporting goods. In the end, the capital still flowed back.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the Mongols cleared the obstacles to occupying the Central Asian grasslands for the Ming Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty opened the Western Regions and had sufficient transportation capabilities, it could expand westward crazily.&1t;/p>

The trade volume between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia also began to increase rapidly due to population trafficking. Tens of thousands of prisoners were sold to the Ming Dynasty every month.&1t;/p>

The population demand of the Ming Dynasty allowed Lin Danhan to form a special army of slave capture and the northern part of the Mo, and began to capture slaves everywhere. Many of these slaves became cotton workers, and these slaves could still do things like picking cotton and watering.&1t;/p>

The wool produced by the Mongolians also began to occupy a relatively important position, and the size of the wool spinning factories in Northern Zhili began to grow larger and larger. In particular, Mongolian herdsmen in the Ming Dynasty had already made wool production as their main business, and the amount of wool produced annually was increasing.&1t;/p>

The animal husbandry in Australia and New Zealand has also begun to develop and wool has begun to produce. In the future, wool production will not continue to expand, and the scale of raw materials produced by the Ming Dynasty will become larger and larger, so that the Ming Dynasty can have more textiles to export.&1t;/p>

The entire Western Region is now constantly opening, and highway water conservancy projects are being continuously built, while in the Yumenguan area, a drilling team is drilling.&1t;/p>

After only more than a month of drilling the well at Yumen Pass, they successfully drilled the first oil well, and oil began to burst out from the ground.&1t;/p>

The news was sent to the capital by telegram. Zhu Youxiao was very happy after learning that he had drilled the oil well, which means that there was another one of the products in the Ming Dynasty, that is kerosene.&1t;/p>

People in this era mainly used vegetable oil to light lamps, and many people couldn't afford it, but after kerosene, the situation was different.&1t;/p>

Kerosene can bring light to people's nights. Although the power technology in the Ming Dynasty is now rapidly improving, it will take a lot of time to popularize lighting.&1t;/p>

In addition, kerosene can be sold all over the world, and those backward countries do not have any power facilities.&1t;/p>

Then Zhu Youxiao immediately asked the following to set up an oil refining experimental team and asked them to rush to Yumenguan Oilfield to study the refining process.&1t;/p>

The oil industry has emerged, and this thing is still very important.&1t;/p>

When this industry is established, it is very easy to obtain oil with low mining costs in the future. It will be a place in the Middle East. Oil fields in the Middle East are easier to exploit, and the quality of oil is very high. Some can even burn if they are directly added.&1t;/p>

"With oil, get kerosene first. Maybe the Ming Dynasty can jump directly to the era of internal combustion engines. However, technology leading one step is a magical tool. Technology that is too advanced can be sealed first and then popularized in the future. These steam engines alone can make the Ming Dynasty ahead of it for hundreds of years." Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that in fact, the binding between capital and technology exhibition is not completely close, but when backward technology can make money, capitalists are unwilling to use new technologies.&1t;/p>

Now, as the emperor, Zhu Youxiao has also become a capitalist.&1t;/p>
