Chapter 1002： revenge (middle)

   Qi Haoran stared gloomily at the wounds on the faces of several children, and snorted coldly: "Well, let's see if you guys dare to fight at every turn."

The four children sobbed and said that they didn't dare, especially the little bear. Now he was covered in medicinal mud. Not only was he smelly, he couldn't move. He had to sleep naked on the bed, which was really uncomfortable.

Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were in a very bad mood, and the servants in the house had to stand on tiptoes even when they walked, for fear of making the masters unhappy.

In the evening, Qi Haoran said to Mu Yangling: "I'm going to sea tomorrow, and it's estimated that I'll be back in three or five days. Take care of your family and don't let a few boys go out. There are many foreigners in the city, and it's a little chaotic."

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

Qi Haoran sneered, "Suppress the bandits!"

"Aren't the pirates killed a lot, most of them were driven out of the Guangdong waters and scattered on the islands. Where do you go to find them? And it's not worth your presence for them..."

A cold light flashed in Qi Haoran's eyes, "Who said they were all driven out of the Guangdong waters? Didn't Pedro have a small island as a stronghold in the Guangdong waters? Do you really think that 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 soon as you go, but you have to come back quickly, and come back after carrying this island, Pedro's hand There are a lot of people, and it is not appropriate to confront him at this time."

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

"Businessmen seek profit. Businessmen in Daqi are like this, and so are foreigners. Aren't they afraid of trade deficits and losing a lot of wealth? Then I have to make 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, satin and tea. We should sell them a lot of handicrafts, such as porcelain, glazed products and clocks. I have all three. I asked the clock workshop to make them suitable for Westerners. The scales used on the clocks are their numbers, and the ones 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?"

Seeing that he was rarely interested in the economy, Mu Yangling gave a simple example: "My goods from Daqi are very popular in their country, and the prices are very high. A piece of high-quality silk and satin can be exchanged for a bag. The same is true for precious stones, tea bricks, and porcelain. Whether it is foreigners or Han Chinese, a large shipment of goods is often sold out at a high price before reaching the destination, and they cannot bring back gems and spices of the same value, because these Things are cheaper in the foreigners, so the Han people will bring back a lot of gold and silver. In order to buy more silk, tea bricks and porcelain, the foreigners will also bring a lot of gold and silver in addition to gems and spices. These gold and silver flow into our Daqi, It will be difficult for them to earn it away. This is the trade balance, and it will get bigger and bigger, which means that the wealth of their country is being imported into us. Reduce costs and curb the inflow of gold and silver into our country."

Mu Yangling said: "Why do these pirates like Pedro focus on robbing our Daqi ships? It is to make Daqi merchants retreat, they are not willing to let Daqi carve up maritime interests, our country is too big and powerful. Also strong, strong enough to make them afraid."

At least in terms of the current economic status of various countries, China ranks first in the world in terms of politics and economy, and is unmatched by European countries.

Mu Yangling recalled the history he had learned in his previous life and sighed: "The high returns and profits can make people mad, even if it is life-threatening, they will take risks. Now they are just pirates, enticing our officials to lease land. , reduce or exempt tariffs, and they may want to occupy our Daqi 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, three generations, four generations or even ten generations can always wait for this opportunity, Then they'll always find a chance to bite us while we doze off."

Qi Haoran grinned, "The Lord will bite them first now." He turned over and pressed Mu Yangling under him, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you always grow other people's ambition to destroy your own prestige? I don't know how big it is after ten generations. Qi is still here, weak or weak, but I know that they will be left behind by us in the tenth generation, and they will never catch up."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly, her eyes were full of brilliance, she said with a candid smile: "This is what we are going to do now." She doesn't care about the history of her past life, since Da Zhou can throw Song Yuan's butterfly away, why can't she add another one? Work hard to make China go further away from its original history?

She didn't want her children and grandchildren to suffer from war again, and the country and family were torn apart. She originally planned to walk slowly step by step, so as not to accidentally fall, but now that her son was beaten like that, Mu Yangling felt that she should take two steps first. After supporting her son, she wanted to let the Westerners know that they are not fools in Daqi, and they should not deal with them in the same way as they do with idiots.

Although it’s funny to watch them act stupid sometimes, it’s also very boring.

Qi Haoran lowered his head and kissed Mu Yangling's lips, and said in a low voice, "How about you say that you have collected more than a dozen boats of porcelain tea bricks and exchanged them for gold and silver from foreigners? I don't want a single gem, I don't know if I can take it out. The airmen's treasury..."

Mu Yangling stretched out his hand and pushed him aside, and said with a smile: "Gold and silver are currency symbols, and its value can only be realized when you buy it as a commodity. What's the use of pulling 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 was dizzy, turned over to cover her mouth, and said vaguely: "Don't say it, you are leaving tomorrow, you accompany me first... "

Mu Yangling was excited when he said it, and couldn't help but get impatient. Thinking that he was going to leave for three or five days this time, he was a little reluctant to give up, so he closed his eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.

The next day, Qi Haoran went to the barracks refreshed and called General Wang Cang and asked him to return to the soldiers. General Wang Cang listened to his arrangement and said in surprise: "My lord, why did you act in advance?"

Qi Haoran glanced at him and said, "Isn't there news from the island that Pedro is not here? We'll catch them off guard, then wait for him to enter the urn, and let's catch the turtle in the urn."

General Wang looked at Qi Haoran with admiration, and went to reunite with the soldiers.
