Including Lao Zhu, these older generation Ming people have been fighting with Bei Yuan all their lives.
Compared with the Japanese country far overseas.
They even want to completely defeat Bei Yuan! See the day when Beiyuan will be destroyed!
This is the wish of all Ming people!
Zhu Yunzhen could understand, but he never agreed. To put it bluntly, his real purpose in going to Japan was to focus on the mines in Japan.
Even the mine is not his real purpose!
Zhu Yunxuan's real purpose is to use the mines he acquired as guarantee to continue to issue more national debt in the country! Print money vigorously!
Continue with land reform!
Zhu Yunzhen didn't actually care whether the silver from the mine could be transported back to the Ming Dynasty. All he needed was a big cake that everyone could see and touch.
As for how long it will take to eat?
This is not within Zhu Yunxuan's consideration.
After all, the journey is far away, and we have to excavate slowly. When the money is really sent back batch by batch... I am afraid that Ming will not be able to repay the national debt by relying on its own ability.
In Beiyuan, besides grasslands, there are grasslands...
There is no real meaning in sending troops now. After all, Zhu Yunxuan's purpose was to go to Japan.
It is still to let the people of Ming Dynasty know that Ming Dynasty has occupied many silver mountains and will not be short of money in the future.
Enhance people's confidence in the Ming Dynasty's ability to repay debts.
Confidence went up.
Didn’t the money just come in a flash?
"The conquest of Beiyuan is of great importance. Currently, the entire Ming Dynasty is building national highways. When the national highways are completed, the transportation of materials will be a hundred times more convenient."
"By then, it will be easy to station a million troops in Beiyuan!"
Zhu Yunxuan slightly calmed the hearts of Lan Yu, Xu Huizu and other generals.
But in fact... all he described was a pie that could be seen but not eaten!
Not to mention that he was already preparing to eliminate the old army, streamline the Ming army, and liberate the young and strong labor force.
It is absolutely impossible to station a million troops permanently in Beiyuan.
Secondly, Mobei is so big, what is the use of stationing a million troops?
In the final analysis, we still need to use the method of dividing pastoral areas for management.
If possible, it would be best to lay wooden tracks in the vast desert and use horses as power to drag the carriages.
Create a 'train' that fits the current situation of Ming Dynasty.
By then, no matter how vast the desert is, Ming's army will be able to arrive in a matter of seconds.
In this way, Beiyuan will naturally not be able to make any waves.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Zhu Yunzhen glanced around the court.
All the ministers and officials dared not look directly at him.
I dare not object.
So Zheng He's expedition to Japan was decided.
And as the conquest of the Japanese country was finalized, the land reform was also on the right track.
Zhu Yunzhen also rarely had some leisure time again.
As soon as he had some free time, Zhu Yunxi came to Yao Guangxiao's residence.
He has a very important thing to give to Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Yunxu walked into the courtyard, exchanged a few words with Yao Guangxiao, and then got down to business.
He took out a picture scroll from his sleeve.
He spread it out and said: "This is the Map of Kanyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms! I want you to make a special feature in the People's Daily to explain in detail this Map of Kanyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms!"
"Introduce to the people in detail the customs, customs and landforms of these countries."
“There are also specialties from different places!”
Yao Guangxiao looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Yunzhen.
But I saw that this so-called Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms was actually a map!
And the direction Zhu Yunshen pointed with his hand was actually marked with the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty only occupies a small part of this map!
As for the Japanese country on the side, you have to get closer to see the whole thing!
"This..." Yao Guangxiao was dumbfounded.
My throat became hoarse unconsciously.
He quickly asked: "Your Highness, where did this picture come from?"
Of course, Zhu Yunxuan could not say that he read it from books, and could only blame it on foreign businessmen.
Explained: "In the past, didn't Gu get sweet potatoes from foreign merchants?"
"Since then, I have been interested in paying attention to overseas affairs."
"We sent people to continuously inquire and collect information from all parties, and finally compiled this map of Kun Yu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms, which gave us a general picture of our world."
Zhu Yunxuan did not label this picture in detail.
There is just a general direction and some rough terrain markings.
After all, if it's too detailed.
On the contrary, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. Now that it is roughly marked, it can be passed on to other foreign merchants.
If there is a problem, it is their problem.
It has nothing to do with him, Zhu Yunzhen.
"It turns out that the world is so vast..." Yao Guangxiao had never thought that the vast Ming Dynasty only occupied a small part of the entire world.
"Huh?"
Yao Guangxiao suddenly pointed curiously at a place with fog on the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map.
Asked: "Where is this place?"
"Why is it all foggy? Could it be that the boundaries of the world are all foggy?"
The place Yao Guangxiao pointed to was the edge of the map.
Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map is centered on the Ming Dynasty, with a broad continent to the west and a vast sea to the east, with only the shadow of part of the continent on the border.
The rest is all fog.
Zhu Yunxuan explained: "This is where the sweet potatoes are, but it's just too far away from the Ming Dynasty."
"The foreign traders who got the sweet potatoes came here only by chance."
"I have never explored the entirety of this continent, but I have heard that it is extremely vast, and its area is probably no less than that of the Ming Dynasty!"
Although Zhu Yunxuan compiled the Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms by himself.
But these words were not false.
Everyone thinks that the American continent was only discovered during the Age of Discovery, but in fact, this continent had been discovered long ago.
Not to mention that it is already the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.
Even if we count a hundred years forward, many Europeans have already discovered this continent.
He just lives in isolation and only occupies a marginal position.
The entire continent has never been explored, and no one has spread the news.
In fact, Europeans have always known that there might be another landmass on the other side of the sea.
However, large-scale development of this lost continent will have to wait until the great voyage.
But Zhu Yunxun's focus today is not on this.
Instead, he pointed to the small island country to the east of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Although the Japanese country is only an island country, it lacks materials and its land is also scarce."
“But one thing is many.”
"In the territory of Japan, there are many open-air silver mountains with huge reserves and easy mining."
"Take this stone to see the silver mountain as an example. If we mine it with the technology of the Ming Dynasty, the amount of silver that can be mined every year will be at least more than millions of taels!"
"And in the territory of Japan, there are countless such silver mountains!"
"If it can be all owned by the Ming Dynasty, the silver taels mined back to the Ming Dynasty every year will be no less than tens of millions of taels of silver!"
Historically, Japan's silver output once accounted for one-third of the world's total.
Tens of millions of taels!
And this is even if their mining technology is not very good.
If the Ming Dynasty were responsible for the mining, using the most advanced technology, the amount of silver mined every year would definitely be tens of millions of taels!
It’s higher than the entire year of Ming Dynasty!
And this is the income of pure silver, which is different from physical objects and has the ability to maintain value!
With this silver in his account, the banknotes issued by Zhu Yunxian can also have more purchasing power. After all, his banknotes are directly linked to silver, and their value is guaranteed!
There will be no significant drop in the value of banknotes.
It can be said that these silver mountains in the Japanese country were of great use to the Ming Dynasty!
"So many?" Yao Guangxiao was also shocked!
Immediately, his eyes shone with light.
He said excitedly: "We must capture the Japanese country! Bring it back to my Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yunxuan looked at Yao Guangxiao who was so excited that he couldn't control himself and smiled.
Said: "The resources of Japan are poor and of little use to our Ming Dynasty."
"We just need to buy their silver mountain, and first get the mining rights for a hundred years."
As for a hundred years from now?
I'll give it back to them then.
The Ming Dynasty did not care about that little bit of land.
Colonization and economic exploitation is what he wants!
Yao Guangxiao smiled understandingly.
He nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately organize people and use this picture of Kun Yu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms as a talking point to start a column of Ten Thousand Kingdoms!"
"Let all the people of Ming Dynasty know how big the world is."
"Let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know the purpose of Taisun's expedition to Japan!"
Zhu Yunzhen suddenly coughed lightly.
He said: "You need to remember that you sent people to make this map of Kun Yu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms. It is the information that you only obtained through many inquiries."
"It has nothing to do with loneliness."
Yao Guangxiao naturally understood, nodded and said: "That's it."
"I will also specially arrange for some people who have been to the Japanese country to come forward and give their own experience to let everyone know that this is not just Weichen's family."
Zhu Yunzhen nodded with satisfaction.
Saying this from his mouth would have weakened his persuasiveness by three points.
But when Yao Guangxiao said it, it was a little more convincing.
After all, Yao Guangxiao's reputation as a wise man and a demon has spread throughout the government and the public.
soon.
The new issue of People's Daily was published, and the government and the public were immediately shocked!
Everyone couldn't help but discuss this!
The vastness of the world gave all the people of the capital and officials an indescribable shock!
Among them, there are some interesting stories about the customs and customs of various countries, which have become topics for people to talk about when they are bored.
And the news of Iwami Ginzan came out.
It caused an unprecedented sensation!
The Japanese country actually has such wealth!
Everyone couldn't help but feel greed in their hearts. That was tens of millions of taels of silver a year!
If it could be owned by Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be...
At this time, another news came: Zheng He, the prefect of Songjiang, had successfully led the navy to regain the chicken coop and destroy the pirates stationed on it!
Capture thousands of thieves and return to Songjiang Mansion!
And the Ming Navy was not damaged at all! Even the only injured person fell because the deck was slippery!
The news came back.
Suddenly the morale of the court and the people was shaken!
With such a navy, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to conquer the Japanese country and occupy Iwami Yinshan!
All the people in the capital had expectations in their hearts.
I hope Zheng He can capture Iwami Yinshan!
Under the eager expectations of all the people, Zheng He led tens of thousands of naval forces, boarded the newly built treasure ships, and began to head north, carrying a slow supply of supplies!
At this time, the summer wind started to blow.
Zhu Yunxuan also began to make intensive preparations for the issuance of additional national debt...
