The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1873

[1873. Chapter 1783 The wealth is rolling in]

In addition, the exchange in Northern Province was also established at this time.

In fact, this agreement is not without benefits for the nobles of various European countries. Although the division of land has been fragmented, the territories of each noble have generally continued the tradition of thousands of years and been divided.

As a result, the Northern Province, a territory with almost no nobles, became extremely precious.

Merchants from all over Europe will gather here. This place… will also become a window to Europe in the future. The agricultural products of the lords from various places need to be converted into currency, and the goods from the Ming Dynasty and even all over the world have to be imported from the north. Provincial distribution.

Therefore… what Liu Wenshan leads is a futures market.

The essence of why this futures market was established was to thoroughly consolidate the status of Ming Dynasty Baochao.

All futures trading must go through this place, and the currency traded is naturally the Ming Dynasty Baobao. No gold or silver is accepted here. This means that even if you have gold and silver coins in your hand, once you need to import and export in large quantities, For a large amount of goods, you must first go to Xishan Bank to exchange for treasure banknotes, and send the gold and silver to the bank’s warehouse before you can trade with the treasure banknotes.

If the French could barely resist, they could issue their own gold and silver coin system internally, and then use part of the treasury funds to deposit in the Xishan Bank as a reserve for import and export to maintain their own currency issuance.

But for other small European countries, they have almost no resistance.

Of course, even France is in danger at this time.

Banks, futures exchanges, and construction industries, one after another in Xishan, began to be replicated in the northern province.

The French needed a large amount of imported goods. At first, they wanted to obtain a large amount of treasure money through the export of agricultural products.

But in fact, the pricing power of agricultural products was not in the hands of the French, and the export prices of agricultural products were often extremely low. Therefore…it didn’t take long before debts began to pile up. Then, the King of France had to try his best to borrow money from Xishan Bank. Debt began to gradually increase.

Liu Wenshan was almost laissez-faire towards these princes.

He likes to borrow money.

After all, what was lent was treasure money, but the collateral was often real money, land and castles.

Zhu Houzhao did not stay in the Northern Province for too long.

In fact… For Zhu Houzhao, when he realized that the whole of Europe was just a piece of loose sand and there was no force that could compete with it, he felt lifeless and shouted to leave!

Fang Jifan is naturally not as heartless as Zhu Houzhao. It can be said that all kinds of businesses are waiting for prosperity here, but the war has just ended, and many things have not been safely arranged, so he is a little worried!

So he hurriedly ordered the Ningbo Navy to reorganize all the captured Spanish ships and recruit a group of naval forces in the Northern Province to ensure that after the ironclads left Europe, the navy of the Northern Province could still defeat the navies of all Europe. Only then did he decide to set sail.

But he had been away from home for many days, not to mention that he came out suddenly and didn’t even explain it to Zhu Xiurong in person! Now that he could finally go back, Fang Jifan was very happy, especially since the longer he left the capital, the more Fang Jifan missed the place. As if returning home, the armored ship finally set sail.

At the harbor, twelve fully loaded ironclad ships slowly left the harbor with enough fuel and supplies.

The port was already crowded with people.

Tang Yin will stay here as the emperor’s imperial minister stationed here, while Wang Xizuo is still the governor of the Northern Province, and the rest of the disciples have all boarded the ship with Fang Jifan!

At this time, Fang Jifan held onto the side of the ship and looked at the countless people who came to see him off.

Even Fang Jifan had never heard of these many people. It was obvious that they were waving eagerly towards the scumbag Wang Bushi. Fang Jifan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: “Flangji people are so enthusiastic. This Franconian is also a good place.”

“Old Fang If you like this place so much, I will keep you here,” Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully.

Fang Jifan pulled his face and became silent.

The fleet sailed all the way.

Not long after, Fang Jifan suddenly felt something was not right.

“Where are we going? Why are we taking the westward route…” He summoned Xu Jing who was accompanying him, but he already had a vague premonition of something bad!

Xu Jing looked at the way his mentor frowned and asked him something, and said in surprise: “Teacher, you don’t know?”

Fang Jifan felt a chill running down his spine, and he was so sad. His premonition was so effective!

I saw Xu Jingdao: “The student thought that the teacher already knew. His Majesty issued an order the day before yesterday and changed the route, ordering the fleet to go all the way west to the Golden Continent, so… there is nothing wrong with taking this route.”

Fang Jifan felt pain in his head again .

It’s awesome!

My successor, Fang, was born as a Ming Dynasty man and died as a Ming Dynasty ghost. I don’t want to go to Huanghuangzhou.

Fang Jifan wailed in his heart, and then said angrily: “Why don’t I know about this?”

“Although it was noon at that time, the student remembered that his teacher had not yet gotten up.”

Fang Jifan said angrily: “Then what happened afterwards? Why didn’t you say anything afterward ?

?”

Xu Jing said with an innocent face: “Afterwards, the student thought that the teacher already knew.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

Since the Fang family sent people to Huangjinzhou in droves, Fang Jifan always told people about Huangjinzhou. Benefits, but in fact, Fang Jifan understands better than anyone else that this Golden Continent has not yet begun large-scale development. This place… is more like a large wilderness, dotted with large and small barbarian tribes.

As for the foundation the Fang family built here, after all, it only lasted fifteen years. In such a short period of time, the most it could do was to open up wasteland.

Looking at this vast sea.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but feel depressed.

So, I had no choice but to comfort.

No matter what, he wanted to see his father and his son…

As for the emperor… Fang Jifan had made up his mind that this dog emperor would never be able to deceive him again.

Zhu Houzhao seemed very proud of his cleverness.

Seeing Fang Jifan’s gloomy look, he couldn’t help comforting Fang Jifan: “Old Fang, Old Fang, Huanghuangzhou is the home of your Fang family. A son doesn’t think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn’t think the family is poor. Don’t you think you even have a dog?” Why not? I finally made a trip, and even though I made some achievements, I still feel unwilling to go back like this. Besides, you have so many relatives in Huanghuangzhou, don’t you miss them?”

Fang Jifan has a soft ear. Finally compromised.

…………

New Qingdao Port.

As the most ordinary pilot in the port, Fang Wenjing arrived at the port as usual.

This is the largest port in the entire Golden Continent.

There are a large number of merchant ships from all over the world and merchant ships from other places coming and going, and the throughput is amazing.

There are more than thirty trestles throughout the port for berthing of ships, and there are a large number of warehouses nearby for the distribution of goods.

When Fang Wenjing goes to work, he rarely has to say hello to his boss.

The boss was a potbellied clerk. After making a simple record, he said: “Wen Jing, winter is coming. In a few days, I’m afraid there will be a fleet of ships coming. You can hide and relax for the past two days.” , But when that time comes, you must not be lazy. “

The boss called Fang Wenjing Wenjing, which was not an endearment.

Anyway, there are more than 300 people in the Port Affairs Department, including one whose surname is Liu and the others whose surname is Fang.

The alien surnamed Liu still needs to report his surname.

Others are too lazy to call themselves Fang.

Therefore, everyone here calls the people by their first names, not their surnames, and only those who are strangers will mention them in particular.

“Follow your orders.” Fang Wenjing clasped his fists.

The New Year is coming soon.

The closer the Chinese New Year comes, the more people in this Golden Continent pay more attention to it. After all, when people are in a foreign land, people cherish family reunions even more.

The only difference is that the family that Fang Wenjing belongs to is a bit bigger.

The head of this family is His Royal Highness the Prince of Xinjin County, and there are countless other elders.

When the time comes… as soon as the new year comes, the prince of Xinjin County will personally take the elders from each branch of the clan to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. After that… hundreds of thousands of Fang clan members will start to party.

The Fang clan is extremely large in Golden Continent, and in recent years, it has become even more terrifying.

For example, Fang Wenjing gave birth to seven children.

Most of his clan brothers of the same generation are also like this.

There is plenty of food in this Golden Continent. As long as you want to cultivate wasteland, hundreds of acres of land will be given away for free. You only need to register.

Coupled with the availability of penicillin and the large number of talents sent by Xishan Medical College here, the survival rate of children in Golden Continent is extremely high.

Fang Wenjing felt warm in his heart when he thought of his seven children. He was only thirty-six years old, the eldest son was almost an adult, and the youngest was still in his infancy. But if nothing unexpected happened, he might have another wife. When I think of this, I feel that my life is full of meaning.

After all, there is no entertainment in Golden Continent, and the job of the pilot is also quite boring. Spreading branches and leaves is ultimately a joy in life.
