Chapter 411

Wang Zhi's judgment is quite right.

Lu Li didn't mean to kill everything at all. After the expulsion fleet drove the Japanese pirates out of Malacca, there was no more pursuit.

The port of Johor is the future Singapore. This is the throat of the whole Malacca Strait.

In this narrow waterway between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra island, the Riau islands are also densely covered.

As long as a base is built here, a few cannons are installed on both sides, and then the fleet is put all the way, the sea route to the Far East will be cut off.

Of course, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra are also the territory of Daming. The aborigines here are all big and small tribes, with no concept of state at all. Put in a flag and say that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. No one raised any objection at all.

Lu Li landed in port of Johor on a destroyer.

A bright sun and moon flag was raised in the XIBANYA governor's mansion, declaring that this place was officially incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The governor's house is well built. The European style castle made of stone looks exotic.

It's just After being robbed by Japanese pirates, there should be nothing left here.

Lu Li smiles and shakes his head, but he doesn't care. Robbing is secondary, occupying territory is the key.

Walking to the gate of the governor's house, Lu Li suddenly stepped and found something unexpected.

In the green belt outside the governor's house, a row of special trees are planted.

This is what the fuck! Rubber tree!

Lu Li couldn't help laughing: "governor XIBANYA is a good man. How can you get all the rubber trees from America? "

The value of rubber is immeasurable.

With rubber, all kinds of machinery and equipment sealing ring can be solved. With rubber, tires can be made.

With pneumatic tires, the significance of land transportation is immeasurable.

"Come on, look around. How many trees are there? Note that this kind of tree is of great value. It is absolutely not allowed to be cut down. "

Lu Li immediately gave orders to the guards nearby.

The guards were searching around for rubber trees. After looking around the governor's house, the guard reported that 35 rubber trees were found, of which only 10 were more than three meters high, and the rest were saplings.

Well, it's too early for rubber tires.

Lu Li shook his head, put aside the idea of "driving soon", and walked into the governor's house.

"Lord Guo, we found the Xiban duck man's warehouse. There are a lot of coins in it."

Just after entering the governor's office, another soldier came to report.

Money? Spanish silver?

Lu Li also gave birth to some interest and followed the soldiers to the Treasury next to the governor's house.

At the moment, there are countless materials scattered around the Treasury, apparently left by the Japanese pirates during the looting.

Walking into the warehouse, Lu Li saw hundreds of big boxes piled in the warehouse, all of which were glittering silver coins.

"Lord, there are at least 100000 taels of silver in it."

The soldier pointed to the silver coin in the warehouse and introduced it to Lu Li.

Hearing this, Lu Li was stunned. This is not because of more than 100000 taels of silver, but Lu Li suddenly remembered that the currency of the Ming Dynasty was a mess!

The official currency of the Ming Dynasty was paper money, or treasure money.

It's just Even the Emperor didn't recognize the value of the treasure note. No one regarded the treasure note as money.

Silver and copper are still widely used.

The currency reform of the Ming Dynasty is also imminent. The chaotic monetary system is not conducive to the development of industry and commerce.

It is not difficult for Luli to come up with a new set of currency.

The Nanyang islands are rich in minerals, including gold, silver and copper. Luzon has 40 million tons of copper reserves and 1000 tons of gold reserves. There are 60 million tons of copper deposits, 40000 tons of silver deposits and 6000 tons of gold deposits in Indonesia.

In addition, Jiaozhi Annan zone has 1.2 billion tons of iron ore reserves, including 600 million tons of Shixi iron ore, with iron content of 67%, which can also be mined in the open pit.

In Nanyang mining area, iron, copper, gold and silver are all promising.

There is no shortage of manpower in the mining area. There are aborigines everywhere. As long as you give some glassware and steel knives to the tribal leaders, you can recruit as many people as you need.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng carried out the currency reform. Nanyang area Lao Tzu has the final say.

So Lu Li began a new plan.

This plan is called "showing off wealth"!

Nanyang is so rich in resources that it is impossible for Luli to occupy it alone, and there is no need to occupy it alone.

As long as the benefits are put in place, countless Ming Dynasty people who want to make a fortune will come in droves.

At the first order, the 100000 troops who arrived in Nanyang immediately set out to start a large-scale search.

Two months later, the land transport fleet returned.More than 300 transport ships are full of specialty products from all over the world, all kinds of precious wood, all kinds of ivory, rhinoceros horn, all kinds of coral, all kinds of Tridacna, all kinds of pearls and gems, all kinds of gold, silver, copper and iron

From Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang and Dengzhou to Tianjin, the vast fleet of ships runs all the way.

Every station deliberately stops the ship and berths, deliberately displays all kinds of property, until Jinmen landing, unloading time, piles of gold and silver treasure, let countless people eyes green.

Of course, it is also proper to deliberately publicize Nanyang's wealth and gold.

More than 300 transport ships, unloading trucks of treasure. It took three consecutive days for the endless motorcade to send these frightening amounts of wealth to the capital.

A sensation in Beijing! the whole town turns out to!

Countless people gathered outside the Hubu yamen, watching the carts of gold and silver sent into the Treasury.

Of course, this wealth is not without the share of emperor Jiajing.

"Yue Guogong handed over his belongings, including 120 carts of silver, 13 carts of gold, 350 carts of copper, 630 carts of refined iron, 3 carts of pearl, 4 carts of gem, 16 carts of Meiyu, 5 carts of ivory, 2 carts of rhinoceros horn, 4 carts of coral, 5 carts of Tridacna, 58 carts of spices, and Nanfang Jiamu It's piled up in the inner library yard. "

Hearing the data read out by the eunuch LV Fang, Emperor Jiajing widened his eyes.

National Treasury and internal Treasury Are they all stuffed by the Duke of Yue?

Is Nanyang full of gold? Can you pick up the gold and silver when you bend down?

"Your Majesty, the secret book of the state of Yue."

Lu Fang, the eunuch, handed out a secret letter from Lu Li.

When Jiajing took over the secret fold, Lu Li said on the secret fold that there are 60 million tons of red copper, 40000 tons of silver and 6000 tons of gold on Jinzhou island in Nanyang. Luli also noted that one ton is 2000 Jin.

In addition, there are all kinds of valuable wood such as red sandalwood and Phoebe, all kinds of spices, and pearls on the coast.

Emperor Jiajing is lying in the trough!

How can Nanyang be so rich? my my It's all mine!

"Lv Fang, send people immediately. Send people from the East Hall and the royal guards. Go to Nanyang immediately and pick up the bus from Vietnam. Hurry to mine for me."

Sixty million tons of copper, 40000 tons of silver, 6000 tons of gold, with these things in hand, I don't need to ask the Treasury for money at all!

……

When Emperor Jiajing was dazzled by the silver, the officials of the imperial court were dazzled by the silver.

Nanyang Too much money!

How can this cornucopia like place be occupied by the Duke of Yue alone? Everyone has a share!

Didn't the Duke of Yue send up all the maps of Nanyang? Isn't Nanyang the territory of the Ming Dynasty? Then Get rich together!

Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to propose setting up state capitals in the Nanyang islands and sending officials to control the areas.

This proposal was immediately approved by the court.

In addition to official actions, private actions are much bigger.

If you have a marine merchant in your family, you'll sail out to sea immediately, and you'll race around the Nanyang islands to carve up the resources of Nanyang.

The common people are also interested in Nanyang, which is full of gold. They bring their own dry food and take sea boats to all parts of Nanyang to look for opportunities to make a fortune.

For a moment, countless people from all over the Ming Dynasty poured into Nanyang. The sea was full of sails and the island was full of people.

The great development of Nanyang in Ming Dynasty officially started.

Lu Li immediately built a mint at various bases in Nanyang.

Steam power driven punch, a press is a coin, the speed is fast, and the coin is very beautiful.

Coins are divided into copper, silver and gold coins. The denomination of copper coin is one Wen, that of silver coin is one or two, and that of gold coin is consistent.

In order to avoid some trouble, Lu Li used the flag of the sun and the moon to match the design of the palace gate and the Great Wall to make a set of coins.

After the currency came out, Lu Li directly ordered that all parts of Nanyang should use new currency, and gold and silver should not be used as currency.

Then there is a new institution, the bank.

As early as the establishment of the army, Lu Li began to popularize mathematical knowledge. This tradition continues to this day.

Every soldier in Lu Li's 200000 troops has studied mathematics and knows how to calculate. For the time being, all the staff of the bank are soldiers under their command.

In Nanyang territory, no one dares to disobey Luli's order. In less than a month, the countries in the Indochina Peninsula unified their currencies and fully used the new land-based currencies.

As for the Nanyang Islands The aborigines had no concept of currency, and the currency was mainly circulated among the people of Ming Dynasty who came and went to Nanyang. As for the aborigines, as long as they know that this thing can exchange materials, they will certainly accept money.

In order to facilitate the flow of population, Luli asked Zhang Yuan to build a large steam powered passenger ship to connect all parts of Nanyang with the inland of Daming.The time has come to the end of the 42nd year of Jiajing.

In a few months, the Nanyang area is in full swing, and countless Daming people with the dream of making a fortune have traveled all over the Nanyang islands.

Officials sent by the imperial court also arrived one after another and formally took over the jurisdiction of the Nanyang islands.

Lu Li didn't make any trouble at all, on the contrary, he was very cooperative. Except for the military bases at several key nodes, all the others were handed over to Daming officials.

So far, the Nanyang islands were officially included in the territory of Daming.

Lu Li's eyes also looked to the next place - Australia and Tianzhu.

Java base, East Timor base, and south to the Australian mainland. On the other line, starting from the Rangoon base in Myanmar, it enters the bay of Bengal along the coastline, and then to the west is Tianzhu.

Australia has nothing to say.

Today's Australia, even the aborigines are very few, is completely an open land.

Luli only needs to build a few port bases to declare that it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.

Australia is only a transit station in the land departure plan. The ultimate goal of land departure is to continue eastward and reach South America.

After the plan was made clear, Lu Li began to prepare for the next big action.

……

Jiajing 42 years, this is a golden age!

This year, the high-yield crops popularized by Hai Rui gained a bumper harvest all over the country.

For a while, from the people's homes, to the granaries of prefectures and counties, and then to the national treasury, food was piled up everywhere.

It is the consensus of all the landlords and gentry in Daming that farming can not make a fortune.

With a good harvest of grain, we can't sell it at a high price. It's better to run a boat than to run a workshop.

In this case, the landlord class in Daming had no interest in land annexation. strategic point? A lot of land in Nanyang, draw a circle randomly, it's all yours, and Nanyang aborigines are much easier to use than tenants.

It is better to run workshops, do business, go out to sea, and even set up plantations in Nanyang than to exploit tenants in their hometown.

What's more, tenants are not stupid. The exploitation is fierce. Temo has gone to the South Ocean.

As a result, the poor people in Daming have a much better life. At least food and clothing is not a big problem.

At the end of the year Congress in the 42nd year of Jiajing.

When Emperor Jiajing heard the memorials from various departments, the situation was very good.

The South Japanese and the North Japanese had not existed for a long time, and the high-yield crops also filled the grain warehouses of all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The tax money collected by the municipal shipping department reached a new high, with a total of 50 million taels a year. This does not include all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry and precious materials handed over from all parts of Nanyang. Daming's Treasury and internal Treasury are all full.

"The country has no borders, and the people have no worries about famine. The grain warehouse is full and the National Treasury is full. The four seas rise and level, and all nations come to Korea. "

Xu Ge bowed to Emperor Jiajing and said, "Your Majesty, you created the Renaissance of the Ming Dynasty and the peaceful and prosperous times! Long live the emperor

Long live the emperor

The men and women of the Manchu Dynasty were all smiling. They all bowed to the emperor Jiajing and cried long live.

No wonder they laugh!

Make money! Make a lot of money! Nanyang is really full of gold. Even if the most valuable minerals were occupied by the emperor, but In Nanyang, planting sugarcane and squeezing sugar are all worth a lot of money.

Hearing this congratulation, Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows and began to smile.

This is the resurgence of Daming? This is the golden age?

Without doing anything, Lao Tzu had no borders, no famine for the people, no peace for the whole world, and all nations came to Korea.

And The Indochina Peninsula is Daming's, and so are the numerous islands in Nanyang. The territory of the Ming Dynasty has almost doubled.

Taizu ye, Chengzu ye, say something you don't like to hear, I Jiajing Better than you!

I'm not as good as you, but My life is better than yours!

If you lie down, you will be able to prosper in the Ming Dynasty. If you lie down, you will be able to prosper in the Jiajing era. Which one of you has this ability?
