The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

For example, a businessman got a contract from the government to provide a large amount of medicines to the army, and he could use his relationship to obtain medicines that were about to expire from the army, buy them at a low price, and sell them overseas at double the price.

This businessman is willing to provide Erickson with the best Chinese medicines, but they are expensive, or they provide medicines that are about to expire, in large quantities and cheap!

Today is not what it used to be. Chinese medicines are sought after overseas. Compared with Western bloodletting therapy, Arab mummification powder, and Indian mystical medicine, the clinical effect of Chinese medicine is better than the previous three medicines. Everyone thinks that Chinese medicine Its role is more reliable than other countries.

Eriksen deliberately played a fool and asked the drug dealer how many expired drugs did he get?

When asked, the number of the Chinese army is huge. The navy has at least 300,000. The army, including the field army and garrison, has at least one million. Therefore, the amount of medicine needed every year is extremely large!

The drug dealer casually said that doing business with the South China Empire army is still inferior. In Daming, there will be more troops and bigger business!

scare! I heard Eriksson's pounding heartbeat!

What is the concept of a million army in ancient times?

In ancient times, the population was small. Now in the 17th century, the Kingdom of Spain and its colonies have a population of 30 million, France has a population of over 20 million, the United Kingdom has a population of 10 million, the Ottoman Empire has a population of over 20 million, and the population of other countries is less than that. Where to go.

The presence of so many troops also proves that the Chinese really overthrown the Ottoman Turks, because the Turkish population is more than 20 million.

Well, after hearing so much information, is the drug dealer leaking state secrets?

No, the newspaper published a bidding document for the sale of medicines, as a kind of public government affairs, it is open!

Then Eriksson let out the news, saying that he would buy spices and sell them back in Europe. Spice merchants flocked to him and sold various spices to him.

During the exchanges with the merchants, Eriksson learned that the Chinese army is a big buyer of spices, used for army food, and the production of bacon. Not only the South China army, but the Ming army also bought spices for food. In their talk, the merchants believed that the Ming army was poor enough and there were more people than the South China army, but the amount of purchase was not as good as the South China army. They laughed at the bacon made by the Ming army. spices!

Speaking of spices, Eriksson sighed with emotion. He found that in South China, ordinary soldiers eat better than the middle-class European white people.

Eriksen deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked if the amount of spices bought by the South China Army should be too much. The answer was that he supplied the cooperatives in the army and sold them equally to the army members.

In Rising Sun City, Eriksson has extensive contact with all walks of life in South China, and learned a lot of information, including tea, sugar, rum, cigarettes and other seemingly people’s livelihood products. In fact, the army has acquired a large number of them, showing a continuous increase. the trend of.

During the peace years, what did the army do with so many supplies?

Eriksson has a lot of silver dollars and is an active member in the business circle. He is a white-skinned person and immediately attracted the attention of the intelligence agencies of the South China Empire!

The intelligence personnel made two important discoveries:

1. Eriksson is suspected of collecting intelligence!

2. It is difficult to convict him, because he collects information through public channels, such as the conversations with drug dealers, and businessmen will bring him successful cases. As supporting materials, the businessmen let Eriksson see newspapers, Magazines, in fact, there is a lot of information in these newspapers and magazines to collect!

3. There is no evidence that Erickson collects intelligence through bribery or coercion.

"He doesn't seem to be an intelligence agent, at best he is a caring person!" The intelligence agency analyzed and decided not to arrest him.

Eriksen is indeed a businessman. He bought spices such as pepper, black pepper, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, star anise and paprika. He also bought tea and silk, and he also bought a batch of porcelain to ballast. In the end, I spent a million silver dollars seven or eighty-eight, and returned with a rewarding experience!

The return journey went smoothly, perhaps because of their God's blessing. Eriksson also went to the Mazu Temple in Rising Sun City to burn incense. The "Gothenburg" did not encounter strong winds and waves on the way back, and it was also the case when he came back, which was really lucky.

In the waters under the control of the South China Empire, there are naturally no pirates. After passing the Suez Canal, the heavily loaded "Gothenburg" should have been unable to escape the pursuit of the Barbarossa pirates in the Mediterranean, but when the "Gothenburg" was revealed The flag of the South China Empire was unimpeded.

After crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, it is also safe. In the past, the white skins were regarded as dog brains. However, as the Chinese entered the Mediterranean, the fighting between the white skins who felt the pressure was much less, otherwise the "Gothenburg" would be lost. Those veterans of sailing are watching, don't mind making a vote!

Eriksen was uncharacteristically. Whenever he went to a major port, he would go ashore to visit the superiors he could reach, and presented to them "From Gothenburg to the Rising Sun City: South China Travels" written in multiple languages ​​on his return journey. His knowledge of the South China Empire recorded everything he saw in his career. From people's food, drink, clothing, life, to folk customs and appearances, from city life to culture and hygiene.

Rising Sun City is much richer and prosperous than any other city, and it is more hygienic and cleaner!

Eriksson saw it with his own eyes and experienced it personally.

The Rising Sun City has a large area and is well-planned. At the beginning of the city's construction, it went straight to the capital. Therefore, the road is wide, the city is lined with trees, and the lawn is everywhere.

The population is quite large, and the material gap with foreign cities is obvious~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The income of the people of the South China Empire is much higher than that of foreign countries, and the prices are cheaper.

Investigating the reason, Eriksson highly praised the developed productivity and commodity economy of the South China Empire, because there was a lot of production and a large supply, which could meet the needs of the people.

Therefore, the people of the South China Empire are very good at food, clothing, housing and transportation. They wear silk more, even the pawns are no exception. Most people drink tea, if it is not tea, or chrysanthemum tea and other medicinal teas, they eat very well. Everyone has meat, but the poor can eat seafood and fresh seafood.

Yes, livestock and poultry are meat, but seafood and fresh seafood are cheaper.

Poor families have subsidies, and the empire gives them coal, oil, sugar, rice, and salt, but requires all laborers in their families to participate in work.

All women and children do not have to worry, because the government will provide free medical insurance to the women and children in each household and provide sufficient nutrition. The government is capable of doing this!

The folks have no dishes, because the Southern China Empire is the least lacking in oil, and their palm oil is so much that they can fill the big lake!

In terms of medical treatment, Erickson believes that ancient Chinese medicine is the best. He feels that foreign medical techniques are all scum. There are many pharmacies and pharmacies in the streets and alleys of Rising Sun City, and the government here also opened public cheap ones. hospital.

They are ambitious, and they are pushing for "universal medical insurance", that is, as long as everyone pays some fees, they can get medical insurance, which is unique in the world!

This led to the "welfare" of the South China Empire, including maternal and child health care, free schooling for school children, free meals and medical security, etc., plus a prosperous life, Erickson asked: "If this is not heaven, then where will it be? Where is heaven?"
