Chapter 353: Foreign Trade Pattern
The trade channel with Myanmar was successfully opened. The Myanmar Ayutthaya Dynasty did not dare to be too arrogant towards the Ming Dynasty at this time. In recent years, the news naturally spread to Myanmar.&1t;/p>
Especially the news brought by the Portuguese to the Burmese, the Ming Dynasty not only defeated and expelled Spain and the Netherlands, but also achieved successive victories in its north. It also made the Myanmar Ayutthaya dynasty dare not disobey the trade demands put forward by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
The relationship between the Portuguese and the Myanmar Ayutthaya Dynasty is quite good. The Burmese often hires Portuguese troops to fight. In recent years, the Burmese king has been replaced, but he has become much more settled and has not caused trouble everywhere. The whole Myanmar has also shown a stable pattern.&1t;/p>
Faced with such a stable situation and fear of the Ming Dynasty, trade requirements are indeed easy to be met, but trade with India is in trouble.&1t;/p>
The coastal Indian states have traded with the Ming Dynasty, and it has been quite smooth, but the problem lies in the national structure of India.&1t;/p>
Due to the terrain, India's entire country was divided into more than a dozen federations, each federation has its own independent market. Unlike China, it has formed a unified market since ancient times.&1t;/p>
It is equivalent to selling goods to India. Every time a federation passes, taxes will be collected. Moreover, the Mughal dynasty is also in an unprecedented period of prosperity. Once the trade volume expands and threatens the Indian economy, trade will have problems.&1t;/p>
In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, India is definitely a huge piece of fat. India has 2.4 billion mu of arable land and a population of at least 150 million, which means that India can provide the Ming Dynasty with a large amount of industrial raw materials and commodity markets. If you want to go straight into India, you can only use force in the end.&1t;/p>
But at present, it is obvious that I don’t have the energy to engage in India and there are not many products that require a large number of external markets.&1t;/p>
This year, Japan's trade has already begun to show signs of the outflow of precious metals. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the import of some commodities was restricted.&1t;/p>
After receiving the report, Zhu Youxiao finally decided to take action against Japan. All signs show that Japan is not only restricting the market at this time, but also being ready to move towards Zhendong Province.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, I think that since the Tokugawa shogunate is unwilling to do business with us, it is better to trade with the Sendai vassal of Japan and give them some military assistance. Let them compete with the Tokugawa shogunate. At that time, our Ming Dynasty will mediate and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Yang Guorui suggested to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
"This method is good, it's accurate." Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed, and Yang Guorui immediately went to make arrangements. The current Ming Dynasty's foreign policy is basically linked to business.&1t;/p>
What the Ming Dynasty needs is to seize overseas interests. The Japanese Tokugawa Shogunate was idle at this time, and it did have its own difficulties. After all, the number of Ming products pouring into the Japanese market in recent years has increased and has caused a serious impact on the Japanese economy. The problems caused to Japan are not only the outflow of precious metals, but also the large number of handicraft workers unemployed. In addition, Japan also began to frequently experience natural disasters at this time, so it is very normal for the Tokugawa Shogunate to make such a move.&1t;/p>
But if you die, I will not die. Zhu Youxiao doesn’t care about the situation in Japan. Anyway, the market for Japan’s commodity market is set. If you don’t open the market, you will be open until they open.&1t;/p>
But for the time being, I don’t want to send troops to Japan directly. I first support the Sendai Basilica and the Tokugawa Shogunate to see the effect. If the effect is average, I can only use force directly, or completely block the entire Japan and sanctions.&1t;/p>
Japan is indeed a bit useless for the Ming Dynasty. Its commodity market has considerable interests, but it is not much larger. However, Japan's labor force is what the Ming Dynasty needs at present.&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty is now opening overseas resources and the demand for labor is very strong. If a large number of Japanese workers can be used, the opening will be accelerated a lot. However, these Japanese workers are brought to overseas colonial areas. I am worried that the Japanese are not honest.&1t;/p>
So after thinking about it, it's so useless!&1t;/p>
However, Zhu Youxiao no longer struggled. Regardless of whether he or she had ambitions or not, he would make the Japanese a mess first.&1t;/p>
Anyway, as long as the Ming Dynasty rises, Japan will not be able to rise in Asia. At that time, Japan will have ambitions and will only be more ambition than the sky and life.&1t;/p>
However, North Korea is now very settled, it’s impossible to be restless! North Korea’s military, political and business have been controlled by the Ming Dynasty. The entire North Korea is now under the colonial rule of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
In terms of business, North Korea's industry and commerce were completely defeated. The cotton cloth market in its territory had already occupied most of the market share by the cotton cloth of the Ming Dynasty. Various other commodities were not much better. Steel products were even worse, and were basically occupied by the steel products of the Ming Dynasty. A large number of Ming commodities poured into North Korea, and a large number of handicraft workers in North Korea were unemployed, causing considerable social problems.&1t;/p>
However, North Korea was under the indirect rule of the Ming Dynasty, so it would not be possible to starve people to death. Those unemployed Koreans have now become laborers and have gone to the Northeast to work in the South China Sea.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
There is no problem with these North Korean workers doing things. Although they are not as hard as local workers, they are not bad. The most important thing is that these North Korean workers are very low. If you only give three silver dollars a month, it is half the labor cost of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
Even if the wages of these North Korean workers are similar to those of the Ming Dynasty workers, they can still be used. Because most of this money will eventually be earned back by the Ming state-owned capital consortium through consumption, taxation and other channels. Moreover, the labor demand in overseas operation is large.&1t;/p>
Now that the Ming Dynasty has sent a governor to North Korea and its troops to North Korea, it has become a common practice. The entire North Korea has become increasingly a puppet country with the invasion of the state-owned capital consortium of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
North Korea's import and export trade, as well as commodity markets, have been completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty's capital. North Korea also borrowed a lot of money from the Ming Dynasty's central bank for infrastructure construction. In fact, after these infrastructure construction is completed, it will be more conducive to the Ming Dynasty's commercial plunder of North Korea.&1t;/p>
North Korea's land, minerals, forest farms and other resources are increasingly controlled by the Ming capital, and they are basically only in and out.&1t;/p>
A large amount of annexation of land, mining farms, and forest farms have become the main theme of plundering North Korea.&1t;/p>
Every year, North Korea wants to export cotton, minerals, wood, fur, medicinal materials and other commodities, while the Ming Dynasty exports various industrial commodities with added value to North Korea. Once you buy and sell, you make money and your resources will be exploited by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
The profits of the state-owned capital consortium have been terrifying during the maritime trade throughout the year, reaching a profit of hundreds of millions of silver dollars. However, part of the profits are generated by directly obtaining gold and silver. Among them, the Portuguese are the main source of the growth of silver today. Since the Spaniards were unable to trade directly with the Ming Dynasty, all the oriental goods needed were purchased by the Portuguese comprador.&1t;/p>
The silver plundered by the Spanish from Central and South America was still flowing to the Ming Dynasty in large quantities.&1t;/p>
At this time, the sphere of influence of the state-owned capital consortium of the Ming Dynasty covered Nanyang, Korea, Ryukyu, Indochina Peninsula, and a Japanese region.&1t;/p>
In this area, the population is not small, and there are about 70 to 80 million people in total. The commodity market of 70 to 80 million people has not been completely digested by the Ming Dynasty. Now the supply of goods of the Ming Dynasty itself is not fully satisfied. Sometimes it is a bit unsatisfied to digest these external markets, so there is no intention to swallow this piece of fat in India for the time being.&1t;/p>
Anyway, contact us first and understand the situation in India.&1t;/p>
