Chapter 1148 West India Company

Grandet was shot and Smith thought it was fooled by Joseph, but he didn't know that Father Joseph had been invited to have tea and was facing interrogation from the National Security Department.

"Mr. Minister! This..." Zachdog looked at the corpse and felt fear in his heart.

Smith was so angry that she trembled all over, "Discontinued diplomatic relations, we must break diplomatic relations!"

When Western merchants saw this, they were all lost because of the case of Grandet, and they would have to be at peace in the future when they were in court.

Zachdog said angrily: "The Jesus will be unreliable!"

"British is a Protestant country and fought with the church for decades. Grandet was still a Jew. Father Joseph deceived us!" Smith's wise brain came up with a reasonable explanation, "The damn church, if it failed in Europe, colluded with the kids."

At this time, Smith had to have someone collect Grandet's body, and then express his anger to the Rifan Court, announcing that he would cut off relations with Gan Chao.

In international relations, strength is the most respectful. In the face of the huge Ganchao, protests are undoubtedly too powerless. Smith must rely on his strength to make Ganchao feel pain and make Ganchao emperor regret it.

When Smith returned to the embassy, ​​he brought back some secret information and then took his staff to sea on a British merchant ship.

More than a dozen British merchant ships left Ganchao at the same time, which caused a hint of panic in Jiangnan.

Now that the products of various workshops are in the backlog, the markets in Japan, North Korea and South Asia are close to saturation, British merchants leave Ganchao, which undoubtedly makes Shanggu smell a hint of crisis.

At this time, on the British merchant ship, Smith stood at the stern, looking at the land in the distance, still feeling indignant.

"The Chinese are too arrogant. I want them to know that no one in this world can despise Da Ying so much, I must make them pay the price!" Smith grabbed the ship's side and gritted his teeth.

Since the great "Queen of Chastity" Elizabeth ruled Britain, Britain defeated the arrogant Spanish Invincible Armada and then defeated the sea coachman Holland.

Both maritime overlords were defeated by Da Ying, and no one dared to be so arrogant to Da Ying like the one who was Gan Chao.

"Mr. Master! What are we going to do next!" Zachdog shared the same hatred of the enemy.

Smith snorted coldly, "I have observed the Chinese economy. They rely too much on overseas trade. I want to block Malacca and let the Chinese go bankrupt."

"Is the Portuguese fleet also blocked?" asked Zuckerdog.

Smith nodded, "Block together! In fact, there is no Grandet case, and I am also ready to attack the Chinese people at the latest one year."

The British blockade of Malacca, at most they earn less money themselves. For the Korean government, it will lead to social crises such as backlog of goods, workshops suspended production, and workers’ unemployment.

At this time, after the agricultural society steps into the commodity economy and enters the gate of capitalism, an inevitable thing will break out almost every once in a while, unless a strong government intervenes.

...

The Grandet case, coupled with the fact that Britain and the Chan-Korean dynasty broke down, continued to spread.

Seeing the British merchants leaving Shanghai, there were only a few Portuguese merchant ships left. The merchants who were driving at full speed and frantically produced their products finally realized the problem of the sales of goods.

In the early years, Gao Huan put forward a ban on sea ban. Businessmen from Japan, North Korea, South China and the West came here. The goods in the workshop were sold at all, and there were workshop orders even after a year.

In order to complete orders and make more money, merchants have expanded production one after another, and the land has been invested in building factories to get a share of the pie by state-owned landlords.

In ten years, Ganchao's workshop has increased tenfold, and the goods produced are piled up like mountains. If it is produced before it can be produced, there will be no need to worry about sales.

In fact, even if the British do not leave, they will not solve the problem of overproduction by selling goods as luxury goods.

At this time, while everyone was worried, the Gan Chao Central Committee suddenly issued the "Opinions on Formulating Inviolable National Property", and then invited maritime merchants to the capital to discuss the feasibility of forming a West India Company.

After the Zhou family father and son case, Gao Huan launched a rectification campaign in the court and the country, and discovered a large number of collusion between officials and businessmen.

Gao Huan then held a discussion with cabinet officials, gentry and businessmen to discuss why there was such a serious phenomenon of collusion between officials and businessmen.

During the symposium, Gao Huan concluded that China has been an official society for all generations, and doing dynasties is no exception. If you have a good relationship with officials, you can get money.

This is one of the main reasons for collusion between officials and businessmen. In addition, there are some reasons, that is, under the thoughts of the kingly land under the world, the shores of the earth, and the kingly ministers, merchants have no sense of security about their property.

The wealth owned by merchants is easily taken away by officials or emperors, and when they face emperors and officials, they have almost no ability to resist. Therefore, for the sake of property safety, they can only choose to make friends with officials and protect their property in this way.

After listening to the merchant's speech, Gao Huan asked the cabinet to work with Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to formulate a law on the protection of private property and wait for the National Congress to vote and implement it.

As soon as this news came out, the business community in Jiangnan was in full swing, and the news of another recruiting shareholders to form a West India company also made major maritime merchants ready to move.

In the capital, in the Great Hall of the National People, Gao Huan wore a dragon robe and a winged crown and sat with the presidents of many chambers of commerce and guilds.

At this time, Xia Wanchun spoke: "Today, Your Majesty summons you all to come here, just like everyone to understand the situation in all walks of life! President Qian, your weaving guild is the largest guild in Jiangnan, so you can talk about it first!"

President Qian quickly stood up and saluted Gao Huan and said, "Report to your Majesty, we weaving guilds. Now the goods are piled up like mountains and stocks are numerous. Now the ocean trade has been cut off by the British. The grass-roots people beg for help and to help the grass-roots people, otherwise the livelihoods of millions of weavers will be affected!"

Gao Huan put down the teacup, frowned and asked, "How much stock do you have now?"

President Qian said: "There are two million pieces of silk and twenty million pieces of cotton."

Gao Huan was a little shocked, "How come there are so many! Can't you control the risks yourself?"

President Qian said: "Not long ago, the British Chamber of Commerce released news that there would be a large order. Now the British don't want it anymore, so..."

Gao Huan snorted coldly, "Silly, you are all people who have been in the mall for a long time. Can't you still see this trick of the British? This is clearly a way for you to overproduction, and then they use the excuse not to do so and then lower the price."

"The grass people are confused and think too much about them!" President Qian said in panic.

Gao Huan was a little annoyed, but he still waved his hand, "Now there is so many goods, even if trade with the UK resumes, they will never be able to eat them. I will give you an idea, will you listen?"

President Qian hurriedly said, "Please give your Majesty the instructions!"

Gao Huan said: "Dutch East India Company, British East India Company, you all know it!"

Seeing everyone nodding, Gao Huan continued: "What I mean is that the court will come forward to form a West India Company, you will invest together and sell the goods to India yourself. The Mughal Empire has a population of 70 million, and the entire Indian region has more than 100 million people, plus the Ottomans, which is enough to digest this batch of goods!"

The merchants had long heard that the court was going to form a West India Company. Everyone was a little excited, but there was a problem with selling the goods to India.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has formed a West India Company, and the people have agreed with each other, but what should I do if the ship cannot pass?" asked President Qian.

Gao Huan smiled and said, "You are worried about Malacca! You can rest assured that the fleet of Luzon is already on the way to attack Malacca."
