When the news of the land exchange with other countries reached the Ming Dynasty, everyone from top to bottom was shocked and thought it was a joke.
After verification, some people thought that the 100-year-old emperor was confused, while others thought that the emperor had listened to the slander.
If not, how could we easily give up our ancestral homeland and choose to move our family thousands of miles away to Europe?
The mainland of the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of the empire, and it cannot be abandoned even if the earth shakes. What's more, the tombs of the Ming emperors of all dynasties are all in the mainland. If they move, won't they have to take the coffins out of the ground?
After all the affairs in Europe were arranged, Emperor Haojing returned to his homeland. Zhu Cixiang was also prepared for the reactions of doubts, dissatisfaction, and shock from the local people.
"Your Majesty, the hearts of the people in the government and the public are impetuous now..." Xia Wanchun, the chief assistant who stayed in the northern capital, only knew the outcome of this matter in advance, and the specific reasons were unknown.
"If you are willing to leave with me, that would be the best. If you are unwilling to leave, you can stay and accept the management of the head of state of another country." Regarding this matter, Zhu Cixiang's attitude was very clear.
If you think I'm not good, then go hang out with others! If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. On the contrary, after changing jobs, it will be your own business.
"..."
"Some things, everyone can know the reasons. Some things, just some people know the reasons. Some things, it is best not for everyone to know, this is the way of heaven!"
"..."
"I gave up the most valuable place of the Ming Empire in order to protect the most valuable place of the Ming Empire. Maybe your dear friends will not understand this right now, but no problem, you can wait and see!"
"..." Xia Wanchun looked at his colleagues around him, and based on what the suitable emperor said, he already had a rough guess in his mind.
If this is the case, then this country really has to give up and Dang Xu leave as soon as possible.
"I have already made a framework for the relevant relocation timetable. All you have to do is fill in the content and refine it according to the responsibilities and obligations of your respective yamen. We will strive to complete the move within thirty years. In 180 AD Before Year Zero, Ming’s development center will start again from Europe.”
"yes!"
"That's it!" Zhu Cixiang originally wanted to reveal the truth to these confidants. For example, there may be many major earthquakes in the local area in the future, which is an irresistible and inevitable disaster.
However, in view of the fact that it may spread more and more widely, and even eventually reach the ears of Louis XIV and others, which will cause some additional obstacles to the land exchange, we can only choose to omit it.
The natural resources of the Ming Dynasty are much richer than those of Europe, which is the poor mining area at the bottom of the five continents.
However, the latter has one of the biggest advantages, that is, except for the Apennine Peninsula, it is located outside the earthquake zone.
There are few high-intensity earthquakes in other places, which can provide a good objective environment for economic development.
If a war costs hundreds of millions of silver coins, Zhu Cixiang is completely acceptable. After all, war has dividends.
But in order to quell the earthquake disaster, it is necessary to pay so much money. When the earthquake zone is known in advance, this is somewhat overstated.
Places such as Sichuan, the west coast of the Bohai Sea, and southern Zhili are not suitable for the development of large cities. Once a high-intensity earthquake occurs, it will have a devastating impact on cities with a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions.
A major earthquake occurs every ten years, which is twenty times in two hundred years. The cost of appeasement is 50 million once, and 20 times is one billion.
This is not counting small and medium-sized earthquakes, the total amount is ridiculously high... Assuming there are other places to stay, you can completely move with this money.
Avoiding earthquake zones is just one of the added bonuses of moving. As for other aspects... The coast of Western Europe has the benefit of the North Atlantic Warm Current, and Paris is close to the 50th parallel of north latitude. However, what is the year-round temperature in Paris and what is the year-round temperature in Shenyang?
After the land exchange, Ming Dynasty had already acquired the four major grain-producing areas in Europe, so there was no need to worry about food at all.
Although the only large oil field in Europe is the Ploiesti oil field in Wallachia, it is also owned by the Ottoman Empire.
However, the cost of transporting refined oil products from the Middle East to Europe is much lower than transporting it to Daming. In the future, a lot of money can be saved from sea transportation.
Kursk, which has iron ore reserves of nearly 50 billion tons, and Sweden, which has high-grade Kiruna iron ore, have also been exporting iron ingots to Daming.
There is no need to worry about copper mines. The Boriska copper mine in southern Poland has already been mined. It is just Zhu Cihong who took over the dividends from Frederick the Younger, and Karl XI can continue to enjoy the profits.
It turns out that there were tungsten mines in Portugal, lead, zinc, and mercury mines in Spain, and the Asia Minor Peninsula of the Ottoman Empire could provide manganese, chromium, molybdenum and other metals.
There is no need to worry about natural gas in the future. Groningen in the Netherlands has trillions of cubic meters of natural gas.
The last thing is coal. This is the simplest thing. There is a super coal belt under the Ruhr area, and it is an open-pit mine, which is very convenient for mechanized mining.
It may be much worse than Welsh anthracite, but it is perfectly fine to provide motive power for industry.
In this way, the three major aspects of food, energy, and minerals are all solved. The local climate is suitable and there have been no major earthquakes.
Just build water conservancy projects to prevent droughts and floods. And by focusing on Western Europe, the cost of transporting natural resources from South Africa and the Inca Empire was lower.
Giving up your home country and moving to Europe is not a waste of money, but it leaves a lot of money for the future. Even if it costs 10 billion silver coins to move, a certain emperor thinks it is extremely cost-effective.
A certain emperor had already thought about issues such as the hollowing out of the British Empire, which would eventually lead to its collapse.
Assuming the worst case scenario, the territories located on every continent are out of their control, and even the Northland is lost.
Zhu Cixiang can still control the richest place in Western Europe. Mining is the starting point of the empire, not the end. The future of mankind is to develop industry and technology, certainly not to mine and sell food!
"Your Majesty, those special facilities..." After Bo Jue heard about the land exchange plan, he hurriedly came to the rear residence to see him. This involved that shocking project.
Based on the current purification progress, the purification work of the first nuclear bomb can be completed within thirty years at the latest.
This coincides with the approximate end time of the moving plan, so the emperor needs to be asked whether to adjust the project schedule.
"Everything involving these facilities will be handed over to the other party in the end. Even if they know about it, they will have to start from scratch. At least the progress will be more than a hundred years behind our Ming Dynasty. Once the demolition order is issued, it must be demolished completely. Everything that cannot be demolished will be It must be completely blown up. We have uranium mines and coal mines in the North, and there is no need to worry about refining and enriching uranium. I think there is still time, and there is no need to worry about this in the short term, such as within twenty years. As for missiles Projects should also be treated in the same way. After the move is completed, a large space center needs to be built in Western Europe to launch rockets carrying artificial satellites and space shuttles. However, there is still plenty of time, and everything can be done slowly." After mastering nuclear weapons, a certain emperor can consider launching a nuclear strike on anyone who dares to disobey in the future!
Although the cost of doing this will be high, the deterrent effect will be very good and it can serve as a warning to the monkeys.
Of course, backup plans have already been drawn up. If the uranium enrichment and purification were delayed due to relocation, the Ming Dynasty would be able to possess its first nuclear bomb by 1800 at the latest.
This is more than a hundred years ahead of the progress of a certain country that was the first to acquire nuclear weapons. It can be regarded as a landmark act of kindness for mankind!
There is no doubt that the actions of the world's most charitable person must be
A “good deed”! Who dares not to admit that this is a good deed, a certain emperor will use nuclear bombs
"Be kind" to the other party! Then let the successor invite heads of state from other countries around the world to dinner! Describe it in one word - perfect!
Assuming there are no earthquakes in the local area, or there are no other irresistible reasons, it would be better to leave the area for development.
But under the premise that the assumption is definitely not true, moving becomes the best and only way to preserve the value of property.
At least Ibrahim, Poirot, and the Zhengs will be happy because a certain emperor is closer to them.
Burmese King Zhu Cihuan will also be very happy, because a certain royal brother who is like the top of Mount Tai is finally gone.
"Your Majesty!" After Mu Tianbo learned that his territory was about to belong to William III, he hurried to Beidu for fear of being left behind.
"Aiqing came just in time. I guess Aiqing came here to move, right? If you are willing to move, I can let Aiqing choose where to stay. On the contrary, Aiqing can continue to settle in Yunnan. I will not force you." Now, in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one person like Mu Tianbo who is not a vassal king but has the treatment of a vassal king.
"No matter the swords, mountains or seas, I am determined to follow Your Majesty to the death!" Mu Tianbo had already figured it out on the road. He should go as far as possible if he could. If he couldn't leave, he would stay.
"That's good. Your Majesty can choose Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily as fiefdoms. They are islands in the Mediterranean Sea with a similar climate to Yunnan. All treatment is the same as in Yunnan, and your troops and military dependents can also go and settle there. All matters on the island can be decided by your beloved, and anyone who moves to the island can enjoy permanent tax-free treatment." Zhu Cixiang did not let Mu Tianbo go to Britain because the indigenous people on the three southern islands were not good people.
Moreover, the indigenous people in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula have always been dissatisfied with Louis XIV's management. If it were a certain emperor, they would probably revolt.
There are certain things that Zhu Cixi cannot directly come forward for, but that doesn't mean that he will let the natives do whatever they want.
At this time, the Mu family army will have a place to use... a private armed force, and what they do has nothing to do with the court.
"I will share your Majesty's worries!" After Mu Tianbo understood the whole story, he naturally made an unequivocal promise.
This shows that he is still useful and can protect his family and soldiers, so he can rest assured when he moves there.
"So good!" These confidants understood certain things at a glance. Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with this. Mu Tianbo was regarded as his confidant who was no longer in Beidu.
The price for doing the dirty work is full tax-free treatment. I believe this is a good deal.
If Mu Tianbo is not willing to do it, many people will rush to do it, such as a certain Duke of Hesse... After the Mu family army is in place, there will be no more black-handed gangs in Sicily in the future. They are enemies!
The destination chosen by Mu Tianbo was very clear, it was Sicily. Go ahead to dangers!
Due to the very important strategic location of Sicily, a naval and air force base will also be established on the island in the future.
The existence of the garrison can, on the one hand, provide convenient channels for the Mu Jiajun's operations, and on the other hand, it can also boost local economic development.
Ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meat must be purchased fresh from the local area. The court will reimburse tens of thousands of foodies' bills, which can provide a large sum of money to the local area every year.
It is obvious that the greater the number of troops stationed, the greater the financial stimulus to the local area. If the local natives want to commit suicide, then they should try it!
Let's see who is more ruthless than who... In order to show sincerity, the people of Dongfan will be the first to move to Dutch East Africa, and William III will also send people to take over Dongfan.
At the same time, Nanyang Mansion was vacated to accommodate Leopold and his son and their entourage. Alexander was relocated to Chengdu, and the local people together with the people of Nanyang went to the north.
These were people who were originally unwilling to settle overseas, but a certain emperor refused to give them a place with better conditions.
People who perform well in the North, such as large grain growers, managers and businessmen with good performance, can have the right to settle in Western Europe.
In front of them are the military relatives living in the North. If something good happens, a certain emperor will definitely take care of his own people first.
Land area is not calculated on a one-to-one basis, but is calculated based on local grain harvests. In France and Spain, crops are basically harvested twice a year, and the yield per unit area is definitely much higher than in the cold north.
The biggest advantage of the Northland is that it is vast, and there is a lot of room for hundreds of millions of people to settle there.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. There are wealthy gentry who don't want to move and are coercing the people to cause trouble outside the residence!"
"Is it loud?"
"Very big!"
"Pass it to me and ask them to keep their volume up! Anyone who doesn't keep shouting loudly will be jailed! Anyone who leaves the place without authorization will be jailed! Let the factory guards watch them shouting. I want to see if they can bark better than dogs!"
"...Yes!" Perhaps it has been too long since the lessons learned from the past, and these guys have completely forgotten what those merchants did back then.
Is a certain emperor afraid that you will play this trick? Let their family members pay for the redemption! Committing crimes against the wind and throwing themselves into a trap... If there are more people, the factory guards' bonuses will be guaranteed this month.
It's better to shout until your throat is broken, so that you won't bark everywhere in the future. It doesn’t matter if you run out of energy, you can still carry out photosynthesis!
The vegetative people of the Ming Empire are so powerful! Within an hour, the group of guys who were looking for trouble were all honest because they knew they were in the prison of Dongchang.
Previously, the feudal lords of Dongchang kept an eye on everyone and arrested anyone who didn't shout. In the end, none of them could scream... First they disturbed the Holy One, and then they disobeyed the Holy Order!
If the two crimes are reduced to one, then they can be executed! After being scared to the point of peeing, these people realized that they were really asking for trouble!
