Once the relevant content of Yimin Xianbelia was published in newspapers, it aroused enthusiastic responses from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty.
Merchants naturally saw huge business opportunities, because wherever there are people, there are business opportunities.
No matter how desolate the Xianbelia region is, there is still a fur business to be done.
In particular, the five types of furs, namely tiger skin, bear skin, wolf skin, mink skin, and fox skin, are very popular in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.
Tiger skins and bear skins were tribute items, and a tiger skin could be bought for thousands of taels of silver.
Emperor Haojing also sent people to purchase wolf skins to equip his most elite special forces and guard battalions.
Mink and fox fur are the favorites of ladies. It is definitely a very beautiful thing to wear a snow-white fur coat when going out in winter.
Down jackets are a favorite among the middle and lower layers because they can be worn for many days without requiring careful care.
Taking care of it is also very simple. Just wash it, dry it, and beat it to loosen the feathers inside.
It's not like the wealthy and wealthy families don't have down jackets. They should at least give Emperor Haojing some face.
Each family buys about a hundred or so pieces, at least for the sake of it, the servants usually wear more clothes.
If they can obtain a large amount of cheap furs from the Xianbelia region, the merchants will naturally be happy.
The wild animals in Liaodong, especially in the area south of Tieling, are basically extinct due to the garrison.
Since the dog Tatars have disappeared in the area, the cavalry have nothing to do and cannot disturb the people. They often go into the mountains to hunt in groups on the pretext of cross-country training.
If you kill a tiger, you will get a big deal, otherwise if you kill a wild boar, you can give everyone a tooth-beating sacrifice.
A certain new emperor also received relevant reports. After the situation in Liaodong stabilized, he gradually mobilized the main force of the garrison to the north.
It has now been deployed to the area north of Laluwei, especially the line from the Blackwater coast to Lake Baikal.
But he will not go to the north bank of Blackwater. According to the agreement back then, the north of Blackwater is the land of the Northern Territory.
Specifically, the area south of the intersection of the Shilka River and the Ergun River to the northernmost end of Lake Baikal is the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
The northeastern end of Lake Baikal is 110 degrees east longitude, and all areas east of this line were owned by various vassals.
The west was under the management of Emperor Haojing, which meant that the total area of the five vassal states on the northern shore was equivalent to the area excluding the Ming Dynasty itself.
A certain new emperor provided money, food, and troops to help them obtain such a large territory. If they were not satisfied, it would be a typical case of insatiable greed.
On such a large territory, they can do whatever they like.
Although the locations of Zhou and Chong in the far north are not very good, they both have sulfur revenue and gold mine shares.
If fishing and hunting are included, ordinary people's lives can definitely be considered passable.
What's more, wood is free of charge and you can cut down trees at will.
The local tax standards are very low. If you don't require a high quality of life, it is definitely a good place.
The climate in Nanyang is much better than that in the north, and crops can be harvested two to three times a year.
But the lingering mosquitoes in the tropics are a big problem in themselves, and many people envy life in the North.
A certain new emperor also thought so, because the capital of the Zhou Kingdom was comparable in size to the capitals of Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Everyone can live, and you can get a lot of supplies from the mainland every year, so why can't you live?
Especially after driving away the pigtails and driving away the Rakshasa, the coastal areas of the Beidi Kingdom became one of the best places for the poor people in the pass to stay.
Although Myanmar and other places will be good choices in the future, people who are intolerant to heat, especially those who are afraid of mosquito bites, still stay away from hot and humid areas.
In comparison, there were not so many mosquitoes in the huge Xianbelia. There were wild beasts, but as long as they had weapons in their hands, they were not too afraid.
With endless forests and countless rivers full of fresh water, the wasteland can also be used to grow potatoes and other crops, which is perfect for settling down.
At least this is the description in the newspaper. If you want to know more about it, you can look at the photos taken by the exploration team from the southern Xianbelia area in the square.
This combination is much more intuitive and gives many people more room to think.
In particular, the Lake Baikal region will be connected to the railway within a few years, and the connection with the customs will be much more convenient.
It is obvious that the value of land connected to railways appreciates very quickly.
Someone who has found out the inside story has already spent money to buy a lot of land along the route.
The most valuable areas in Xianbelia's inland area are along the railway line, then the area around Lake Baikal, and finally the area along the river.
If the whole family moves, the land area obtained is the largest.
Singles were also welcome in the past, and it was definitely a one-for-one workforce.
A certain new emperor ordered a strict investigation on the scum who used the excuse of moving to Min to devour the local land.
In the past, the king's division had generals who were eating up the land, but now that officials and businessmen collude, there are worms eating up the land.
A certain new emperor can guess the virtues of those things with the heel of his feet. Needless to say, the execution ground will definitely be full.
In the eyes of the borers, Xianbelia is a huge piece of fat. Even if you touch it, your hands will be covered with oil.
The specific operation process is to first grab the best land in the name of some Yimin people.
And then selling it privately is equivalent to nothing, because those people simply made it up.
It's just that the moths ignored a very fatal problem. They were targeting a certain new emperor!
This means that this deal is 100% a failure, and a certain new emperor will not let them succeed.
Although the new emperor will not get a single tael of silver from the land sale project, this is the income of the court.
Only when the Ministry of Revenue has new income can the repayment speed be accelerated, and a certain new emperor is the court's largest creditor.
These moths are equivalent to taking money from a certain new emperor's debts. This is definitely not allowed, and their claws will be chopped off!
The Metropolitan Procuratorate and factory guards have uncovered more than 500 related cases, involving more than 200 officials and more than 50,000 fictitious civilians.
On average, there are more than a hundred people involved in each case. Based on the fact that each immigrant can get a hundred acres of land, and each mu of land is worth one tael of silver, the total case value is five million taels.
It may not seem like much, but this is just the beginning of Yimin.
Five million in the next year, and the total in twenty years will be 100 million!
The worms are determined to do this thing of fabricating a million people as long as it is not stopped in time.
A certain new emperor couldn't do anything else, so he ordered the number one house confiscated.
I started searching homes at the age of ten, and now I have thirty years of experience!
Now, all personnel, including family members, have been assigned to mine in Monan Jinshan, which can be regarded as supporting the construction of the grassland.
Don't they love money?
This just allows the borers to touch gold every day, in big chunks. How happy they are!
Nowadays, many mines in the Monan region are almost in a state of shortage of work, and only the No. 1 mine, which was first mined, can operate at full capacity.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Industry, the total number of job shortages in the Monan region alone is as high as about one million.
If the number in other places is added, it would be as high as five million.
But this is the minimum. The ideal situation is to reach 10 million.
For the Ming Empire, which had a population of over 100 million, this was not a big deal at all.
Moreover, the more slave miners there are, the more surplus value will be squeezed out, which will be more beneficial to the court's annual income and shareholder dividends.
The ideal state believed by a certain new emperor is to have up to 20 million slave miners, with an average of one miner indirectly corresponding to ten people.
It would be even better if the number of slave miners doubled, as he would have plenty of mines to mine!
Without the military pressure brought by braids, the Ming Dynasty's economy can directly take off!
The prerequisite for economic development is that industrial resources, metal currency, and food production can keep up.
The first two can be obtained through mining, so a certain new emperor pays special attention to mining.
From gold mines near the Arctic Circle to gold mines on the island of Papua New Guinea.
As long as the volume is large enough, it will be dug no matter how far away it is!
In terms of mining, as long as your own dog legs can reach it.
A certain new emperor never stops doing anything but poaching!
Tens of thousands of French and German henchmen are now overseers of the mining area. This is a rich reward for their bloody battle for a certain new emperor.
The supervisors don’t have to charge into battle, and the food and salary are pretty good.
It starts with five silver coins and half a stone of rice per month. The higher the level, the more you earn.
The mining area takes care of food, housing and clothing, and each person is equipped with a mount.
The job is also very simple. He is responsible for patrolling the mining area, maintaining local security, and catching some escaped slave miners.
In many mines in the north, Menggu cavalry are responsible for assisting.
In the Nanyang region, veterans of the Wang Division sent by a certain new emperor came to assist.
The reason for using French and German supervisors was to let them manage the slave miners from Europe.
It would be good if the veterans of Wang Division were literate, but it would be impossible to expect them to master foreign languages.
Some French and German veterans also know a little foreign language, and some French army veterans can speak Spanish.
Many German mercenaries can speak English, which makes it easier for the mines to receive miners transported from the European battlefields.
Starting from the 25th year of Haojing (1668), Daming Port and Nanyang Mine began to receive white-skinned miners one after another.
In the first two years, about one million miners were obtained each year, which greatly alleviated the labor shortage in major mining farms.
Because as long as "extraordinary goods" are transported to the Ming Empire, silver coins can be obtained immediately, ship owners are also keen on this kind of ocean trade.
With money, you can purchase many of the Ming Empire's souvenirs directly from the port and make a fortune by shipping them back to Europe.
Driven by high profits, almost half of the shipowners in Europe were engaged in trade with the Ming Empire.
It does not necessarily have to be a direct voyage to the Ming Empire. The goods can also be transported to the northern section of the Sudan Canal, and then the Ottoman Empire's merchant ships will be responsible for transporting the rest of the journey.
The goods provided by the Ottomans as collateral were also very attractive, and that was lamp oil!
This thing has become the main lighting energy source in European countries, and the export price of the Ottoman Empire is very reasonable.
Compared with similar products from the Ming Empire, European countries were willing to use Ottoman lamp oil at a much lower price.
In addition to dried fruits, blankets, glass, mirrors and other commodities, ship owners in France and the Netherlands can also make a lot of difference in price.
After the opening of the Sudan Canal, the ports at the north and south ends of the canal became large-scale material distribution centers.
This allowed the Ottoman Empire to make money not only through the canal, but also through the logistics park at the port.
Facts have proven that as long as the location is good enough, poverty is impossible.
Now everyone in the Ottoman Empire has tasted the sweetness brought by the canal.
Glass, mirrors, and refined oil technology were all gifts given to the Sultan by a certain new emperor.
Glass and mirrors are completely free gifts, and refined oil is a half-assed way to make money.
Of course, a certain new emperor would not be stupid enough to transport oil to the mainland. The dividends from oil refining could be paid off with war horses and dried fruits.
As the worries of war disappeared in the Ming Dynasty, a group of people who became wealthy also began to pursue a quality life.
Therefore, the dried fruits produced in Osman have become one of the most popular snacks on the market.
Daming also produced dried fruits such as walnuts, pine nuts, and hazelnuts, but those who have eaten pistachios will definitely distinguish between them.
It is no exaggeration to say that a certain fat prince grew up eating pistachios and did not forget to lick his fingers after eating them...
A certain royal brother was too lazy to care about his life and death, so he just let Jiexuan take him to Europe to be free-range.
Anyway, we already have a wife, so it doesn’t matter if we die over there!
If he is not dead, a certain new emperor will make a guess based on his many years of experience.
A certain fat man will probably return in triumph with a boatload of loot and a boatload of delicious food!
If a certain fat house could be exchanged for one million slave miners, a certain new emperor would definitely do it!
One million slave miners cost at least 10 million silver coins, which was a huge expenditure for Beiting.
Due to the full-scale mining of Ma'anshan iron ore and Jiangxi tungsten ore and rare earths, Nanting also began to need a large number of miners.
Fortunately, with Myanmar as a free claimant, it is no problem to transport one million miners to mine.
Nowadays, with a certain new emperor mining everywhere, Beiting's annual income is almost three times that of Nanting.
The combined annual income of the Northern and Southern Courts has exceeded 100 million, but a certain new emperor believes that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Assuming that the Ming Empire's GDP accounts for half of the world's total, then the Ming Empire's annual income should also be the same.
Intuitively, it is equivalent to the sum of the ten opponents of France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Ottoman, Russia, Venice, Portugal, HRE, Habsburg, and Japan!
If the other party's total annual income exceeds 100 million, Ming's annual income should also be the same, otherwise it will fall behind this land-grabbing group.
The ideal annual income of a certain new emperor should be around 150 million to 200 million. Since the newly opened mine cannot operate at full capacity, it should be possible to achieve the minimum target.
However, before this small goal was achieved, a certain new emperor lost eight Yoshino ships!
The Dutch agreed to cede the southern part of Africa, including the Cape of Good Hope, and offered ten Yoshinos, and finally talked about six.
However, a certain new emperor used the reason that the Ming Dynasty Navy also needed to be commissioned, so it had to be delivered in two construction batches over ten years.
The Dutch had no choice but to agree, because currently no other country's navy in the world is equipped with this type of ironclad.
Ming Dynasty also obtained the right to allow the Royal Navy's navy ships to dock in Ceylon, which was regarded as a gift from this negotiation.
Previously, only merchant ships could enter Ceylon directly, and warships had to notify them in advance, otherwise they could only wait outside.
This was like buying the entire South Africa for Zheng Chenggong, and the matter of grabbing the land was left to his father, Zheng Zhilong.
For the sake of the Zheng family's century-old foundation, a certain new emperor believed that Zheng Zhilong was determined to risk his own capital to give it a try.
The cost of the six Yoshinos can be directly passed on to Zheng Zhilong, who went to South Africa to mine, but the return on investment will take longer.
It is estimated that it will start in at least five years...
