C3431 Fear of approaching home? (2/2)

The little Emperor, who was in a very bad mood, stayed in Singapore for half a month.

In the end, Hairy # 2 saw through Zai Chun's thoughts of going to see the little Emperor by himself.

”It is already not easy for His Majesty to travel to and out of the palace. I can already predict that once His Majesty returns to the Forbidden City, leaving the palace like this will be extremely difficult!”

”Why not use this last precious time to learn more? If there is a Head of State, you can ask him. If there isn't a Head of State, wouldn't you want to see your own analysis? ”

”With a thousand words, you will become independent sooner or later? No one can be the walking stick of His Majesty for the rest of his life! ”

”After entering the Malacca, after Singapore, this will be the territory of the Chinese people that the Führer has been working hard to manage. Take a look, listen and ask. He put down his body to think about what the millions of Chinese were doing. ”How did they all do it …”

With these words, Hairy # 2 woke up the person in his dreams, and Zai Chun retracted all of his negative emotions.

In the star slope, he carefully observed the maritime trading circles between the Westerners and the Chinese. He even personally went to the port to count which country had the most ships this day, and how their tonnage and performance was.

From the records of the customs, Zai Chun carefully researched which international commodities were the hottest and most profitable.

Through the historical literature, he suddenly realised that the Dutch colonized Indonesia, and every year, the spice business was an astronomical amount of gold.

A ship of spices from the Southern Ocean was shipped to Europe with a profit of twenty times!

Looking at the little Emperor's astonished eyes, the Dutch merchants all proudly declared that this was already the nineteenth century and the supply of spices had increased by a lot.

If a ship of Southeast Asian spices was shipped to Europe in the seventeenth century, those Investor s would probably have to change captains if their profits were less than sixty times!

All of the eunuchs thought that he was boasting, but only Hairy Two and the Tongzhi Emperor did not speak!

Because they had heard from the Führer that when the European colonists had first run Asia, the profits of the East and West had been so great.

Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, pepper... In medieval Europe, it was a luxury item comparable to gold. The spices could be used as a salary to be paid directly to the subjects.

The more the little emperor looked at it, the more frightened he became, not to mention those precious porcelain pieces. Although the Europeans had already solved the mystery behind the porcelain pieces, Chinese porcelain was still a high-end item on the international market.

Ships after ships of porcelain were classified according to their quality. Even the highest quality ships had a profit of twenty-five times that of the highest quality ships!

Not to mention the tea, silk, medicine and other products, countless sea merchants could only make so much money through trade!

The scene of the Singapore Customs Department's Qian Bei cramp had always been engraved in Tongzhi's heart. His heart felt as uncomfortable as a frying pan.

To what extent did the imperial government lack the money right now? Zuo Zongtang could not escape the silver even if he was beaten up in the Western Regions.

It would be a joke if this news were to spread to Europe. If you let your subjects raise funds to fight in the war, then the territory that was liberated should actually be awarded to that official.

However, the imperial government obviously wouldn't do that. Their faces darkened as they pretended to be deaf and mute!

”All of my Central Plains money was taken away by these merchants … ”Dammit, if only I had all this money!”
