"How is Xiao Gai'erlan on the Ottoman side?" Zhu Zilong asked Li Yutang in the early morning sea breeze.

"Well, to the prince's words... the following official's point of view. This little Gai Erlan is obviously a bit arrogant! They only have six legions in total, but they actually want to give up the geographical advantage and take the initiative to attack! I think they will lose sooner or later!" Li Yutang replied in this way.

"Is that true? I don't think so. You know, civil wars are different from foreign wars. In many cases, we cannot just look at the comparison of troops. There are also various behind-the-scenes transactions and conspiracies to rebel. Therefore, we cannot easily make a conclusion on how the future of this Ottoman War will develop... Remember to pay close attention!"

"Sir, the Lord!"

"Of course, just paying attention is not enough. If necessary, remember that even if you secretly fund the temporarily weak party, let them continue to fight. Even if it is a loss-making business, you must do it and inform me at any time." After thinking about it, Zhu Zilong said another sentence.

After Li Yutang took over the task, Liu Feng, who was in charge of church work and European economy, came quietly.

After taking turns to Zhu Zilong's work report, Liu Feng began to complain to Zhu Zilong.

"Boss... At present, the various wars between Europe and the Mediterranean have greatly affected our trade. We have been in a state of a financial deficit for the past six months!"

"Oh? Such a thing will happen, what are the specific reasons?" Zhu Zilong and Liu Feng's relationship is more like brothers.

After pouring him a cup of coffee, he sat down and started discussing.

Liu Feng drank all the coffee in his hand in one breath and sighed: "The reason is not complicated... The wealth of European countries and the Mediterranean has been consumed by this protracted war, and even the rich dare not share the joy.

Therefore, even if our opium is delivered for free now, it is estimated that people will ask for it. Most of the more merchants only want to buy food and cheap cloth. They are not willing to buy luxury goods, which leads to the direction of luxury goods in the Ming Dynasty, which is open to us. As long as we put some goods in, the market will soon be saturated. This was impossible in the past!”

When Zhu Zilong heard Liu Feng's analysis, he was stunned at first, and then he was stunned.

I thought to myself, sure enough, that's true!

Similar situations are actually in the original history. For example, between the First Opium War and the Second Opium War, the resistance of China's traditional natural economy to the dumping of foreign goods was like this.

In the mid-19th century, after the Opium War ended, the Treaty of Nanjing was signed, and the gates of the Qing Dynasty were opened by strong ships and powerful cannons.

When foreigners think about the Qing Dynasty, there was a large market of 300 to 400 million people, so why didn’t they deliver goods to make a fortune immediately?

So, countless foreigners at that time immediately rushed to China to send all kinds of goods.

As a result, it was all sucked!

At that time, the Qing Dynasty did have a vast market of 300 million to 400 million people. But what kind of junk was the Qing Dynasty?

To be honest, the wild boar skin wants to die a little more of the Han people. Want to get rich? Stop dreaming!

At that time, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese had difficulty even having enough food. Where did they get the money to buy foreign goods?

Therefore, after the Opium War, the number of foreign goods imported into China increased sharply. After the backlog of it was unsold in the warehouse, countless foreign bosses lost their pants...

In the end, I couldn't. After thinking about it, only opium was easy to sell, so, hehe, hehe, hehe.

-

At this moment, the situation in Europe and the Mediterranean is similar.

Oh no, it should be even worse than in the Qing Dynasty.

So much so that Zhu Zilong found that even opium was not easy to sell when he threw it here.

The entire Europe and the Mediterranean countries were in such a state of extreme poverty. Silk, perfume, copycat glass mirrors and other luxury goods from the Ming Dynasty, as well as various silks and other luxury goods, were originally sold.

But now, naturally, there is not much market to talk about.

It was raining all night long. I heard that many European countries suffered drought this year.

The war has also caused more and more pirates on the sea to appear. With the number of Zhu family navy, delivering goods and escorting their own people is barely enough, and of course, people from other countries cannot be protected to go on the road together.

As a result, countless pirates started to do inexpensive business at sea.

Not only did they want wealth and life, but they further hit the confidence of businessmen from European countries to go overseas to do business.

This makes the entire international economic trend more powerless.

-

Pick up the laptop and settle the accounts.

Zhu Zilong was unable to complain and found it desperately. After a long time, European countries and Mediterranean countries were in chaos.

However, I can't do my own business anymore.

Don’t talk about expanding trade nonsense, it would be good if the trade volume will not shrink next year - the market will take time to adjust!

(Of course, let alone Zhu Zilong is asked to unify the whole world directly by force.)

First, the time is not ripe, and second, if you really think that if you have a navy of more than 100,000 navy and 300,000 to 400,000 (cannon fodder army, plus a mixed army of Zhu family army), you will be invincible in the world?

Think about the beards of later generations, and the millions of modern weapons and armies, have they not been able to unify the whole world?

Do you know how long it will take to travel back and forth in Asia and Europe without pure modern transportation? How many soldiers are not accommodating?

How difficult is modern weapons to support logistics?

Moreover, Zhu Zilong had no plans, and all his subordinates were equipped with modern weapons. In that case, if anyone had a second heart, in a minute, the civil war would be a cheating person.

Besides, Genghis Khan had no modern weapons back then and could enter Europe without modern weapons. He had to cheat on himself and had to fully replace modern weapons to unify the whole world.

That also seems too incompetent!

Anyway, the lifespan of the Half Dragon Man is too NB, so it doesn’t matter. I will play with you slowly. If you brainwash and control the economy successfully, add three military axes.

Maybe one day, these countries will cry and shout, asking Zhu Zilong to come and rule them.

-

When he faced Liu Feng, he was silent for a while, but Zhu Zilong spoke first to break the silence.

"Only... in the troubled times, all kinds of luxury goods cannot be sold at a price. Only weapons and food can make people lose their pockets... It's time for us to change our route. Consider developing in this regard, what do you think?"

"Boss... why didn't we consider this? Who doesn't know that the arms business and grain business are very profitable! But it's also difficult!" Liu Feng replied with a bitter face:

"First of all, we cannot sell the latest models of firearms to them... Even if they are outdated firearms, in the past year, we have to support mercenaries and develop our own power. So are there any extra weapons for sale to others? Even if we make small fuss, we cannot become a climate!"

"Well, this transportation volume has not increased, it is really troublesome... So what about the food?" Zhu Zilong thought about it and asked again.
