The Reborn Wife is Farming

Qi Haoran stared at the wounds on the faces of the children with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly: "Yes, let's see if you dare to fight at every turn."

The four children sobbed and said they didn't dare, especially the little bear, who was covered in medicinal mud now, not only smelly, but also unable to move. It was really uncomfortable to have to sleep naked on the bed.

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were both in a bad mood, and the servants in the mansion even walked on tiptoes, for fear of offending their masters.

In the evening, Qi Haoran said to Mu Yangling: "I'm going to sea tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be back until three or five days ago. Take care of your home and don't let a few boys go out. Now there are many foreigners in the city, and it's a bit chaotic."

Mu Yangling nodded in response, and asked casually, "Why are you going out to sea?"

Qi Haoran sneered, "Suppress the bandits!"

"Didn't a lot of pirates be killed? Most of them were driven out of the Guangdong waters and scattered around the islands. Where do you go to find them? And it's not worth you to come forward because of them..."

A cold light flashed in Qi Haoran's eyes, "Who said they were all kicked out of the Guangdong waters? Didn't Pedro have a small island as his base in the Guangdong waters? Really think you don't know anything?"

Mu Yangling was silent, knowing that he was looking for a place for the children, so he leaned on his chest and said, "Go as you go, but you have to come back quickly, and come back as soon as you take this island, Pedro's hand There are quite a few people, so it is not appropriate to confront him head-on at this time."

Qi Haoran gave a "hmm", rubbed her hair and asked in a low voice, "You want to meet those foreign businessmen?"

"Businessmen seek profits, as do businessmen in Daqi, and so do foreigners. Aren't they afraid of trade deficits and losing a lot of wealth? Then I insist on making them lose more." Her children are not so easy to bully, Mu Yang Ling sneered and said: "It's too bad to trade them with silk and tea. We should sell them a large number of handicrafts, such as porcelain, glass products and clocks. I don't lack these three. I asked the clock workshop to make them suitable for Westerners." For clocks and watches, the scales on them are their numbers, while those sold in Daqi still use our numbers.”

Qi Haoran asked curiously: "What is a trade deficit? How do you know that foreigners are afraid of this thing?"

Mu Yangling saw that he was rarely interested in the economy, so he gave the simplest example: "My Daqi's goods are very popular in their country, and the price is very high. A piece of high-quality silk can be exchanged for a bag of clothes." The same goes for gems, tea bricks, and porcelain. Whether it is foreigners or Han people, a large shipment of goods is often sold out at a high price before reaching the destination, and it is impossible for them to bring back gems and spices of the same value, because these Things are cheap from foreigners, so Han people will bring back a lot of gold and silver. In order to buy more silk, tea bricks and porcelain, foreigners will also bring a lot of gold and silver in addition to gems and spices. These gold and silver flow into Daqi. It will be difficult for them to make money. This is the trade balance, and it will become larger and larger, which means that their country’s wealth is being imported to us. They don’t want to be so passive, so they propose tax exemptions and other conditions. Reduce costs and curb the flow of gold and silver into our Daqi."

Mu Yangling said: "Why do the pirates like Pedro focus on robbing our Daqi's seagoing ships? It is to make Daqi's merchants quit. They don't want Daqi to divide up the sea interests. Our country is too big and our strength And strong, strong enough to scare them."

At least judging from the current economic status of various countries, China's politics and economy rank first in the world, which is beyond the reach of European countries.

Mu Yangling recalled the history he had learned in his previous life, and sighed: "High returns and profits can drive people crazy. Even if their lives are in danger, they will take risks. Now they are just pirates, luring our officials to lease land , Tariff reduction, they may want to occupy us in the future, just like occupying Luzon and India."

Qi Haoran sneered, "Do they have this ability?"

"They don't have this ability now, so they will corrupt our country, make our people poor, and make our soldiers weak. As long as they have enough patience, they will always be able to wait for this opportunity in three, four or even ten generations. Then they'll always find a chance to bite us while we're napping."

Qi Haoran smirked, "Then let's bite them first now." He turned over and pressed Mu Yangling under him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you always let others' ambition destroy your own prestige? I don't know how big it will be in ten generations. Whether Qi is still alive or not, whether they are weak or not, but I know that they will definitely be left behind by us in less than ten generations, and they will not be able to catch up for generations to come."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, her eyes were bright, and she said with a smile: "What we are going to do now is this." No matter what the history of her previous life was, since Da Zhou was able to get rid of the Song and Yuan butterflies, why couldn't she add another one? Work hard, let China go further away from the original history?

She doesn't want her descendants to encounter war again, and the country and family fall apart. She originally planned to walk slowly step by step, so as not to accidentally fall, but now seeing her son being beaten like that, Mu Yangling feels that she should take two steps first After supporting her son, she wants to let the Westerners know that Daqi people are not fools, so stop dealing with them the same way you deal with fools.

While watching them goofy can be fun at times, it can also be quite stifling.

Qi Haoran lowered his head and kissed Mu Yangling's lips, and said in a low voice: "You said, how about collecting more than a dozen boats of porcelain tea bricks from foreigners and exchanging them for gold and silver? I don't want a single gem. I don't know if I can get it." Empty foreigners' treasury..."

Mu Yangling stretched out his hand and pushed him aside, and said with a smile: "Gold and silver are currency symbols, and their value can only be realized if they are purchased into goods. What's the use of bringing so much gold and silver back? Do you think the trade deficit is only harmful to foreigners? It’s not good for us either, but it’s better than a surplus because we can decide what to buy from foreigners.”

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran explained Das Kapital, Qi Haoran became dizzy, turned over and blocked her mouth, and said vaguely: "Stop talking, Master is leaving tomorrow, you can stay with me first... "

Just as Mu Yangling was talking, he couldn't help feeling anxious, thinking that he would be away for three to five days this time, and felt a little bit reluctant, so he turned a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted.

The next day Qi Haoran went to the barracks refreshed and called General Wang to gather the soldiers. General Wang listened to his arrangement and asked in surprise, "My lord, why did you act earlier?"

Qi Haoran glanced at him, and said: "Didn't there be news from the island that Pedro is not here? Let's catch them by surprise, and then wait for him to enter the urn, and we will catch the turtle in the urn."

General Wang Cang looked at Qi Haoran in admiration, and went to gather the soldiers as ordered.
