The rainy season in Central and South America is coming, and the thunderous rain seems to be endless, which makes many people feel irritable.&1t;/p>

However, the Mexican Governor of Banxiao was in a happy mood. Because the Ming Dynasty's merchant fleet arrived, he rushed to the port in person.&1t;/p>

"God, the quality of these Orientals is so good." The Mexican Governor took a flintscourt in his hand and looked at it.&1t;/p>

Kakka!&1t;/p>

Pull the trigger, and the sound of flint hitting is immediately heard.&1t;/p>

The flints are very advanced in Europe today, and the flints are also very popular. Europe in this era has had 30 years of war and is still fighting. However, the second phase has ended, and the defeated Denmark has withdrawn from the war. The third phase has arrived. With the support of France, Sweden Gustav Adolf has led 13,000 Swedish troops to the European Grand Six to participate in the war and attack the Holy Roman Empire.&1t;/p>

The Thirty Years' War in Europe was a protracted war from 1618 to 1648, and it evolved from local wars to a melee situation across Europe.&1t;/p>

The final result was that the Holy Roman Empire was defeated, and France became the overlord of the European Great Six. It continued until the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in modern times, and it was not until France was pulled down from the throne of the European hegemon.&1t;/p>

Spain is an ally of the Holy Roman Empire. This is a war between Catholicism and Protestantism, but in the later period it was not entirely due to religion.&1t;/p>

France, Britain, and Russia are all constantly supporting forces against the Holy Roman Empire. The first stage was to support the Holy Roman Empire princes of the Czech Republic to fight against the Holy Roman Empire, but the Czech princes were defeated. Then they supported Denmark to send troops to the Holy Roman Empire. Denmark was also defeated and gg was eliminated.&1t;/p>

Now we have started to support Sweden and the Holy Roman Empire again. Gustav made the Holy Roman Empire suffer as soon as he was launched.&1t;/p>

This guy is the one who created the Gustav phalanx. Such a tactic has also been plagiarized by Zhu Youxiao, but the Ming army has now developed a tactical model of a hollow phalanx.&1t;/p>

Muskets were used in large quantities during the Thirty Years' War. The muskets purchased by the Portuguese from the Ming Dynasty were quickly welcomed by both sides of the war. In short supply.&1t;/p>

At this time, the cost of producing these flints was getting lower and lower, and the price of flints exported was also lowered.&1t;/p>

The flintstone obtained by the Mexican Governor is the latest new product made by the Ming Dynasty. It uses cutting machine tools and steam engines during the manufacturing process. The manufacturing cost has been further reduced and the manufacturing degree has also increased a lot. The export price of a flintstone has dropped to 20 yuan silver dollars, and if it is replaced with silver, it is 16.6 taels of silver. Such a price is simply a bargain for robbers like a duck.&1t;/p>

This is much more cost-effective than buying muskets from other countries. It is also cheaper than buying muskets from the Portuguese. So the Ming Dynasty shipped 50,000 flintstones to Central America were all bought by the Spanish. If you can't use so many muskets, you can sell them to allies of the Holy Roman Empire!&1t;/p>

In addition to muskets, the Ming Military Industry also launched an export product, which is the very popular plate armor in Europe.&1t;/p>

These plate armors are about three millimeters thick, and they look like tin cans when worn.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao naturally would not equip such clumsy armor for the army, but with the Europeans' heads and ideas, such armor is the safest and best.&1t;/p>

The price of these plate armor is also not expensive. It only costs 50 yuan per piece. This price is indeed a bit expensive for ordinary European soldiers, but for those knights with some social status and income, it is a very cheap price. The price of killing European plate armor in seconds.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the metallurgical technology of the Ming Dynasty is very advanced. Forging these plate armors is directly carried out with steam engines to punch hammers, which further reduces the cost and profits are much higher than those of flints.&1t;/p>

This time, there were 10,000 sets of plate armor exported from the Ming Dynasty, and they were also bought by plate armor.&1t;/p>

There are also many other steel products, such as iron pots, steel needles, steel nails, etc., which have also been shipped to Central America in large quantities.&1t;/p>

These are heavy industrial commodities that pine ducks need to be imported from other countries. Because of the pine ducks, their industrial capabilities are extremely poor.&1t;/p>

The headboard is also considered a maritime overlord this year. Although it was defeated by the British, the British's maritime power could not reach the point of dominance this year. At this time, the Thirty Years' War had not yet reached the stage of a whole European melee. The navy of the board duck was not annihilated by the Dutch, and the board duck had enough ships to transport these goods.&1t;/p>

But what disappointed the Mexican Governor was that the first batch of Ming merchant ships did not bring too much raw silk, tea, porcelain and spices.&1t;/p>

Although it is disappointing, this is only the first fleet, and more fleets will arrive later.&1t;/p>

After the first fleet loaded silver and gold into the cabin in Central America, the ships were not yet full. This was a bit worrying.&1t;/p>

There are not many commodities for plate ducks, and the only commodity that can be transported back is the cash crop products of plate ducks. However, some economic commodities are relatively high, such as raw silk and sucrose. Mexico has a raw silk industry, but it has been hit by the impact of the raw silk industry of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

As a raw silk exporter, it is naturally impossible for the Ming Dynasty to import raw silk from plate ducks. The price of sugar in plate ducks is too high, so it is not cost-effective to transport them back.&1t;/p>

Finally, the fleet transported back some fishing products and some copper ore.&1t;/p>

When leaving, the Ming Dynasty's merchant fleet asked the Spaniards to increase copper mining and fishing. The Ming Dynasty needed copper mines and was also interested in the small fish in the Peruvian fishing grounds. As long as the Spaniards were willing to fish the fishery products and make fish meal, the Ming Dynasty's merchant ships were also willing to acquire them.&1t;/p>

This started to mine copper mines in Chile, which is rich in copper mines. After the Ming Dynasty merchant ships transported a large amount of goods, the precious metals were too small and needed cargo baits. As for those Peruvian fishing grounds, there were many fish, but those small fish seemed not suitable for consumption, but the efficiency was quite high when used to make fish meal. However, there were not enough people in Spain, and these fish meals were not sold at the price. After receiving the news, the Governor of Peru thought about it and felt that it would be fine. It was nothing to do!&1t;/p>

However, the copper mine mining in Chile is very concerned about.&1t;/p>

Copper ore is worth a little money! The mining scale can be increased to meet the Ming Dynasty's demand for copper ore.&1t;/p>

Two months later, the second trade fleet visited Central and South America, walked south along Mexico, and surfed the Spanish ports.    36o search                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

This time the fleet brought a lot of porcelain, tea, raw silk, cotton and other commodities, as well as dyes, spices and perfumes.&1t;/p>

Perfume is a newly produced product. Daming actually has many folk formulas in perfume, especially those singing girls in the Qinhuai River, many sachets, and bathing with various plant essences, etc., but there is no perfume made in glass.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty obtained a lot of natural spices in the Nanyang and Nakana Peninsula. Later French perfumes were actually made from spices from Vietnam and Laos.&1t;/p>

Since he had this advantage, Zhu Youxiao also directly established this project for the state-owned consortium to exhibit, so the perfume was created.&1t;/p>

Such commercial perfumes can be packaged into luxury goods for sale, with very considerable profits, especially those overseas natives, including Europeans in this era, are not used to taking a bath, have a strong body odor, and are very loving for perfume.&1t;/p>

These precious metals are very popular among Spanish people, and they are very popular with this kind of perfume that is easy to use. Just spray it with a spray to cover up your body odor.&1t;/p>

At the same time, there are also various luxury goods among the goods exported to Central America. As the luxury goods in the Ming Dynasty continued to expand overseas, the types also gradually increased.&1t;/p>
