Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 694 Going North to Xuan Town
Two days later, Zheng Yiguan led the rested fleet and headed west.

Seven or eight days later, Zhao Wen received the memorial from Hong Chengchou and Zheng Yiguan.

Sitting in the imperial study, Zhao Wen looked at the memorial sent by Hong Chengchou and Zheng Yiguan with a relaxed expression.

The negative emotions brought about by the epidemic during the recent period were dispelled by Zheng Yiguan and Hong Chengchou's memorial at this moment.

When Zheng Yiguan came back, he still brought rubber and cinchona trees, which was of great help to Zhao Wen now.

With rubber, Zhao Wen no longer needed to remove the wheels of those 107 rocket launchers in the warehouse.

Without size constraints, wood-burning cars can be built a little bigger.

With rubber, the wheels of a firewood car can be manufactured independently, without having to stick to 107 rocket launchers.

With rubber, existing steam engines and wood-burning cars can be improved to use rubber seals.

With rubber, wires can use rubber as a sealing material.

With rubber, Zhao Wen can make large-scale improvements to the current industrial system.

The production capacity of the industry and the scale of the industry will be further improved.

All in all, rubber is very important to Zhao Wen now.

The cinchona tree is also very important to Zhao Wen now. With the cinchona tree, Zhao Wen can let the doctors of the Imperial Hospital use cinchona tree as a material to produce medicines for treating malaria.

These drugs played a huge role in attacking Southeast Asia.

Zhao Wen put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the open space outside the imperial study, and laughed.

Chen Donglai stood respectfully beside Zhao Wen. He looked at Zhao Wen who hadn't smiled for a long time and laughed, and he was relieved, although he didn't know why Zhao Wen was laughing.

"Let Liu Wenzhong come to see me!" Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai saluted and hurried out.

After a while, Liu Wenzhong came to the imperial study.

Liu Wenzhong was given a seat by Zhao Wen and sat in front of Zhao Wen.

"This is the memorial from Zheng Yiguan and Hong Chengchou, take a look!" Zhao Wen picked up the memorial from Zheng Yiguan and Hong Chengchou and handed it to Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai took the memorial and came to Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong took the memorial and read it.

"Finally back, finally back!" Liu Wenzhong let out a sigh of relief after reading the memorial.

After Liu Wenzhong returned the memorial to Chen Donglai, he said, "Your Majesty, according to what Zheng Yiguan said in the memorial, this America is extremely rich in products, and these things are a very good thing for the new dynasty. .”

Different from Zhao Wen's focus, Liu Wenzhong paid more attention to the products and mineral deposits on this land.

Zheng Yiguan roughly described the mineral resources in the Americas in the memorial, and Liu Wenzhong's thoughts were almost entirely on these things.

Zhao Wen nodded, "The area of ​​this place is no smaller than the land under our feet. America is now in a power vacuum. We must try our best to occupy this land. If we cannot occupy this land, You will be ashamed of future generations."

"What your Majesty said is that although this piece of land is located overseas, if this piece of land is occupied by others, it will indeed be a bad thing for the new dynasty.

General Zheng and the others can reach America, presumably others can also reach America.America is rich in materials, if we don't make an early move, I'm afraid it will be taken by others. " Liu Wenzhong said.

With the continuous progress of industrialization, Liu Wenzhong is also very clear about what resources mean in the process of industrialization.

Although the rulers of this land used to say that "the Celestial Dynasty is rich in products", Liu Wenzhong clearly knew that in industrialization, there would never be enough materials.

"You're right. It seems that the exile of the Daming feudal king is on the agenda." Zhao Wen said.

In Zhao Wen's plan, the feudal lords of Ming Dynasty were the first group of people exiled to America or Oceania, and they would immigrate there in the future.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first batch of people who passed by will definitely not have a good life.These vassal kings have lived a comfortable life for hundreds of years, and it is time for them to suffer.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these vassal kings alone are not enough. Although there are a lot of vassal kings in the whole country, they are still a bit stretched when it comes to emigrating overseas. Do you want to immigrate to America on a large scale?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao arts.

Zhao Wen thought for a while, then shook his head, "It is still too early to immigrate people to the Americas and Oceania on a large scale. You must know that the population of Nuer Gandusi is far from insufficient, and there is also a huge population gap there. At this time, when the people are immigrated to America, what will Nuer Gandusi do?
Nuer Gandusi has been wandering for hundreds of years, and he can no longer lose it in the future. I want to completely control this land.Therefore, it is necessary to continue to immigrate to Nuer Gandusi.

What's more, there are places like Java and Oceania, which also need a large number of people.Industrialization also requires a large number of people. It is really inappropriate to immigrate these people to the Americas now. "

Before Zhao Wen ascended the throne, he began to immigrate the people to Nuer Gandusi.Although Daming was the country with the largest population at the same time, it was still not enough for Zhao Wen.

Nuergandusi has a vast area, not 10,000 + 20 people can do it, at least it needs about 50 people.

"Large-scale immigration to the Americas is not in a hurry. Let's wait for a while. Although the current population is growing, but the number is not large, it is not appropriate to immigrate to the Americas on a large scale. What's more, there is Oceania?" Zhao Wen thought very much Large-scale immigration to the Americas, but reality does not allow it.

In the early stages of industrialization, a large population is what is needed.Today's Xuanzhen is like a gold-swallowing monster, constantly attracting the surrounding people to Xuanzhen.

There are important people in the development of industrialization, important people in Nuergandu, Oceania, Java, America, Japan, and even Southeast Asia in the future.

These places need a large population. It would be inappropriate to immigrate people to the Americas on a large scale at this time.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to the Council. After you go down, lead the officials of the Council to work out an immigration plan. The plan doesn't need to be too detailed, but the specific plan needs to be worked out." Zhao Wen directly said this The question is thrown to the House of Representatives.

"The minister leads the order!" Liu Wenzhong bowed and saluted, and received the order.

"By the way, the epidemic situation in Qingyang Mansion is gradually subsiding now, and a hundred wood-burning vehicles have been dispatched to Dengzhou to receive the supplies sent back by Zheng Yiguan." Zhao Wen said.

These 100 taels of diesel-burning cars are simply not enough for Zheng Yiguan's fleet.But something is better than nothing, at least better than nothing.

……

Zheng Yiguan was floating on the sea, and after nearly half a month, Zheng Yiguan finally arrived in Dengzhou.

Because Zhao Wen's order had already reached Dengzhou, the garrison stationed in Dengzhou was also counting the time.

At this time, Zhao Daniu did not withdraw his troops and was preparing for the attack on Nanzhili.

Therefore, the person who greeted Zheng Yiguan was Zhao Daniu.

On the port outside Dengzhou City, Zhao Daniu stood on the port with his entourage, watching the sea quietly.

"Are you sure you're here today?" Zhao Daniu looked at a thousand households standing behind him.

"Return to the general, it is indeed today. Before that, General Zheng sent out a clipper to inform. According to the letter, it is today." Qianhu replied.

Zhao Daniu nodded, and set his eyes on the sea again.

There are always some waves on the sea surface in summer, and this is near the sea, so the waves are not small.

Seabirds are circling in the sky, lingering over the port of Dengzhou.

A huge fleet is coming from afar, and the watchtower on the port has spotted the fleet.

"General, here we come!"

A soldier stood on the watchtower, shouting at Zhao Daniu below.

Zhao Daniu's expression was startled, and he hurriedly said: "Let the workers on the port get ready. After the fleet docks, they will start moving the goods."

"As ordered!"

The messenger behind Zhao Daniu hurriedly ran down with Zhao Daniu's order.

In addition to Zhao Daniu's soldiers at the port, there are also workers who rely on the port to make a living.

These workers have been waiting at the port for several days, waiting for this day.

Three days before Zheng Yiguan arrived in Dengzhou, Zhao Daniu began to clear the port, so these workers at the port have not received goods for three days.

Zhao Daniu held up the binoculars and looked at the sea.A huge treasure ship approached slowly from far and near.

Zhao Daniu recognized the treasure ship in front at a glance, it was the "Yang Wei" treasure ship he had been on.

"Here we come!" A smile appeared on Zhao Daniu's face.

Zheng Yiguan stood on the deck of the treasure ship Yangwei, holding up his binoculars and looking at the port that appeared in his field of vision.

"It's finally here, it's finally here!" Zheng Yiguan yelled a few times, turned around hastily, and shouted to the back, "Order all ships, lower the sails, and prepare to dock. Lower the boats, and prepare to dock."

The semaphore was spreading in the fleet, and the ships also began to slow down, and the fleet kept approaching the port.

The front one was the treasure ship that Zheng Yiguan took away. This time, in order to transport all the supplies back, Zheng Yiguan brought back all the four treasure ships he had taken out.

The workers on the port also saw the treasure ship approaching. This was not the first time they had seen a treasure ship, but they would still be excited when they saw each other now.

"It's so big, like a hill. With such a big ship, who will be our opponent!"

A man in his early 20s on the port looked at the approaching treasure ship with piercing eyes.

"This ship is so big, there must be a lot of cargo on it. Maybe the work we do this time can make a lot more money than the work we did before. The Shangguan said that our wages are higher than usual these days."

"It's really hard to imagine such a big ship."

The workers on the port were talking unbelievably.

The four treasure ships driving at the forefront gradually docked at the port, and Zheng Yiguan also led his entourage off the treasure ships.

As soon as he arrived at the port, Zhao Daniu greeted him with his entourage.

Zhao Daniu looked at Zheng Yiguan who was walking towards him quickly, and waved his hands, "Haha, Brother Zheng, long time no see!"

Zheng Yiguan quickly walked in front of Zhao Daniu, bowed his hands in return, "Haha, Brother Zhao, long time no see."

"Brother Zheng's contribution this time is not ordinary. Your Majesty never forgets that rubber. This time, Brother Zheng was able to get the rubber back, but it made His Majesty happy for a long time." Zhao Daniu said with a smile.

Zheng Yiguan said: "It is the duty of our courtiers to be able to share things for His Majesty, otherwise, what do you need us courtiers for?"

"That's true. Come on, let's not talk about it. We haven't seen each other for a long time, but we need to have a good drink. As for the goods, let's leave it to the people under you." Zhao Daniu said.

"Haha, I think so too!" Zheng Yiguan laughed!
After Zhao Daniu and Zheng Yiguan arranged the matter, they came to a tavern in Dengzhou City.

Zheng Yiguan and Zhao Daniu knew each other a long time ago, and they knew each other when Zhao Wen just received Zheng Yiguan under his command.

The two have also worked together for a while, and they can be regarded as old acquaintances.

The two sat in the tavern, pushing and changing glasses, very happy.

The workers at the port outside the city kept moving the goods on the ship. Because there were so many goods, it took these workers a total of ten days to move all the goods.

When these goods were moved down, they were not in a hurry to transport them to Xuan Town. They had traveled such a long distance from America to Dengzhou, and it was not too late.

These goods were stored in a warehouse in Dengzhou, and Zhao Daniu and Zheng Yiguan sent people to count these goods at the same time.

The two compared the calculated results, and compared them with Zheng Yiguan's results when he set off.

After there were no excessive errors, these materials were loaded on wood-burning vehicles and various means of transportation, and transported to Xuan Town.

Zheng Yiguan was the main person in charge of this matter, and set off in a wood-burning car the day before the supplies were transported.

Those merchants in the fleet also set off with Zheng Yiguan. Because there were a lot of merchants, only a few merchant representatives were brought out.

Zheng Yiguan was sitting in the wood-burning car. He looked at the wood-burning car he was sitting on, and the surprise on his face never stopped from the very beginning.

"I don't understand, I don't understand, I really don't understand how this firewood car works." Zheng Yiguan said with a look of surprise.

Zheng Yiguan really didn't expect that in the past two years since he went out, Xuanzhen already had such a magical vehicle.

No need for horse-drawn oxen, and it's faster.It is also very stable to sit on and not too bumpy.

The driver of the car smiled and said, "General, I can't figure out this thing either. It's something His Majesty created. It's not that the General doesn't know His Majesty's skills. If we can figure it out, it would be a strange thing."

"You're right. What your Majesty has created must not be comprehensible to ordinary people like us. Your Majesty is really amazing, your Majesty is really amazing!" Zheng Yiguan's face was full of admiration for Zhao Wen.
