In the last few days of the year before, Zhu Jingyuan received several telegrams from the capital.
The first is about the administrative division of Daqinhai and surrounding areas.
The land around the Great Qin Sea was nominally placed under the jurisdiction of the Great Food Country.
Among them, if there are no areas where native people live and settle, there is no need for the Food Country to set up corresponding agencies.
At the same time, the native people should be managed centrally as much as possible to avoid excessive overlap between the Dashi Kingdom and the chief envoys directly under the imperial court, which would waste management resources.
In areas such as Algiers, Tunisia, Tripoli, and Crete, due to the sparse number of immigrants, there is only one Chief Envoy to North Mexico for the time being.
When Zhu Jingyuan saw this, he knew that Ming officials were really stretched.
It is required that the Great Food State and the local Chief Envoy should be separated. An area should either be managed by the Great Food State or the Chief Envoy.
On the northern coast of Mozhou, the original Barbary pirate control area, covering millions of square kilometers of land, there was a total of one Northern Mozhi Chief Envoy.
There are a total of four mansions under the Chief Envoy, the three countries of the Barbary pirates, plus Crete, a total of four places.
In addition, special arrangements have been made for Crete and surrounding islands.
Nominally it belongs to the Dashi Kingdom, but in fact it is under the jurisdiction of the Sikrit Mansion, the governor of Northern Mexico. However, all land ownership belongs to Zhu Jingyuan.
Zhu Jingyuan felt that it might be because he did not discuss the kickbacks with Osman, but directly turned Crete into Ming territory.
Therefore, my grandfather and father affirmed and rewarded my choice.
These land profits are definitely nothing compared with the oil from the big food country, and can only be regarded as a red envelope for Zhu Jingyuan.
But more important is the meaning and recognition that comes with it.
What belongs to oneself under the framework of Ming Dynasty is truly one's own, not something that others can grasp.
Then there was the court's reply on the military side.
The Great Food Country is located at the junction of three continents, facing the Great Qin Sea at the core of Western Europe. Its strategic location is very important.
The Dashi Kingdom was allowed to organize and train its own troops, with an officer quota of ten guards, a total of 200,000 troops, and no more than eight capital ships.
The specific types of troops, their proportions, weapon types and other matters are all decided by Prince Dashi himself.
At the same time, after the war around the Great Qin Sea ends, the Ming Dynasty will station 200,000 army troops in the area around the Great Qin Sea.
Each has a fleet stationed in Tunisia and Crete, with at least eight capital ships permanently stationed.
At the same time, the imperial court supported Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion and would start the West Sea Canal expansion project as soon as possible, with the goal of being able to pass 80,000 tons of ships.
Zhu Jingyuan was speechless when he saw this.
Allowing itself to recruit 200,000 troops, the Navy is limited to only eight capital ships, and other arms and weapons are completely decided by itself.
This standard is outrageous.
Especially those eight capital ships.
If calculated according to the battleships and aircraft carriers designed by him, which are all 40,000 tons, the total tonnage of the eight capital ships is 320,000 tons.
If converted into the standard displacement stipulated in the naval treaty of a previous life, it would be more than 250,000 tons.
The "capital ship tonnage" given to France and Italy by the naval treaty is actually the "battleship tonnage", which is 175,000 tons.
Including the tonnage of the aircraft carriers allocated to the two countries, it is exactly about 250,000 tons.
Therefore, the tonnage of the naval fleet of the big food country is directly on par with the top five naval powers during World War II in the previous life.
The number of 200,000 troops is equally outrageous.
After the Barbary pirates and Cretans were moved away by the Ottomans, it was hard to say whether the entire population of the food country could reach 100,000.
Even if we directly recruit immigrants with the goal of recruiting soldiers, it will take several years to reach the 200,000-strong troop quota.
If the scale of ordinary immigrants from the Great Food Country expands enough to recruit 200,000 troops, it may not have to wait until thirty years later.
It's likely that you'll have to go into full military service to get it together.
At the same time, he can only stay in the Big Food Country for two years, and there should be no chance to come back in the future.
I can't even see the day when all the troops are formed.
Moreover, the vassals of the Ming Dynasty did not have complete military command rights.
All troops in the vassal state were under the command of officers appointed by the Ming Dynasty.
This total of 200,000 troops, the French and Italian-level naval fleets of World War II in the previous life, even if they are all completed, are still troops funded by the Food Kingdom and used by the Ming Dynasty.
But for me, what belongs to Daming actually belongs to me.
Zhu Jingyuan suspected that his father and grandfather's intention in making such a request was to use the troops of the Food Country as guinea pigs.
Test various new ways of organizing troops and supporting new combat plans.
Zhu Jingyuan immediately felt that his grandfather and father were quite good at settling scores.
But think about the implications of this permission.
As a clan with the dual status of feudal prince and prince, I was allowed to build an army of this size.
It can be considered as indulgence without any bottom line.
There is no need to worry about using these troops to do things that are not controlled by the court.
At the same time, he now still has the power to governor the local military and administration.
The fleet and hundreds of thousands of troops left here by the Ming Dynasty are theoretically under their direct jurisdiction.
Zhu Jingyuan was silent for a long time with complicated emotions.
The next piece of news was officially issued by the imperial court to reward Zhu Jingyuan for his meritorious service during the peace talks.
Yongping Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture, and the coastal areas around Tianjin have a total of one thousand square kilometers of Huangzhuang land.
There is a total of 30,000 square kilometers of Huangzhuang land and forests in the eastern and southern parts of the Tiannan Australian continent and the Baiyun Islands Huangzhuang.
There is a total of 30,000 square kilometers of Huangzhuang land and mountains surrounding Xintianfu Imperial Village, Xintianfu City and Sanqing City.
Some of these lands are already developed and managed by Huangzhuang institutions, and Zhu Jingyuan can directly receive the profits.
There are also a large number of wastelands and mountain forests, which Zhu Jingyuan can develop according to his own needs, or entrust it to Huangzhuang for development.
If it is handed over to Huangzhuang for development, the income distribution method to developers and employees will be the same as other Huangzhuang in Xintianfu.
It's just that the part of the emperor's income that should go to the emperor belongs to Zhu Jingyuan personally.
Similar to the attitude of European and Western countries towards colonies, the value of Ming Dynasty's overseas land and Ming Dynasty's local land are completely different.
The value of remote areas in the mainland is completely different from that of the land around the capital and the land around important seaports and river ports.
The native land that Zhu Jianyan gave to Zhu Jingyuan was all in the coastal areas around the capital, and it was all plains. It was almost the most expensive land in the entire Ming Dynasty.
A total of 1,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 1.5 million acres...
If these lands could be traded, their value in the market would be absolutely astronomical, possibly exceeding tens of thousands of square kilometers overseas.
Of course, Zhu Jianyan allocated tens of thousands of square kilometers overseas to Zhu Jingyuan, which was also the best overseas land.
Probably later around Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand, as well as around the capitals of Uruguay and Argentina in Nanyinzhou.
In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, perhaps the land value in Sydney and Melbourne was higher, but in this life, Xintianfu is better.
There are almost two Hainan Islands in the 60,000 square kilometers of land.
But these lands are not yet the point.
This time the reward included not only land but also dividends from the Imperial Manor.
From the sixteen imperial villages of Yinzhou Xintian Mansion, in the next fifteen years, 30% of the emperor's dividends will belong to Zhu Jingyuan.
The Xintianfu Imperial Mansion is the richest of all the Imperial Mansions.
The 30% of the dividends shared by the sixteen emperors should be an order of magnitude higher than the income of the great food country.
Zhu Jingyuan's eyes widened when he saw this.
My father is too generous.
Zhu Jingyuan suspected that he would not know exactly how much money he had in the future.
But there is no doubt that in the next fifteen years, he will be the second richest man in the world. The richest man in the world is of course the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
With so much money, he can really afford to support the 200,000 troops.
The workers and facilities needed to maintain the navy's capital ships can also be spent on money.
A battleship of more than 200,000 tons deserves a dedicated maintenance facility.
