Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1101 Concubine?

"The crusade army temporarily formed by the provincial government of Dongying broke through Kurokawa Castle, razed the castle tower to the ground, killed more than [-] rebel warriors, and captured thousands of warriors. The defeated warrior group retreated to Yamagata Castle, Nagaoka Castle and other places The crusade army pursued them all the way, and successively conquered the cities separated by the samurai group such as Yamagata Castle and Nagaoka Castle. They are preparing to land in Hokkaido to pursue the remnants." The officials of the Military Intelligence Department reported to Chu Yun the battle situation in the Eastern Province.

At present, there are basically small-scale rebellions in the territory of the empire and the extermination of bandits and bandits left over from the late Ming Dynasty. Only Dongying has attracted the most standing troops of the Kyushu Army and the most military investment.War is no longer based on the number of heads killed, but to achieve the set goal at the lowest cost.

"The receiving work of Dongying's gold and silver mines has also begun. The exploration team of the University of Geosciences will submit a detailed report afterwards. The income from the received gold and silver mines is not only to cover the costs of mining, purification, and transportation, but the rest of the income It all belongs to the treasury," the official said.

"I see." Chu Yun was very calm on the surface, but he was still quite excited inside.

Dongying is currently the largest silver producer in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is no exaggeration to say that Dongying was the supplier of silver in East Asia during this period. The Spaniards gradually came from behind after they got the silver mines in South America.

A large part of the funds for frequent wars between the warring states came from the development of these gold and silver mines. Some people even believed that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had the confidence to attack Korea and annex the mainland after occupying a large amount of gold and silver mines. Heart.

After reporting to Chu Yun the latest telegram from Dongying, the officials of the Military Intelligence Department withdrew.

"Eastern Province is established, and then let the merchants deal with Europe to explore the way, while immersing themselves in the development of more advanced technology." Chu Yun has basically solved the problem of the many vassal states in East Asia, and understands the territory and sea areas he controls. To conquer the world is easy, but it is difficult to rule the world. He still needs to lead the officials of the New Six Ministries and various special agencies to consolidate the existing territory and export Han culture to the newly conquered territory, especially in the face of local teenagers and children who have just begun to speak and read. .

It's just that it may take several generations or even a dozen generations for the promotion and output of Han culture to be effective.At present, Chinese businessmen still need to be proficient in translation of local dialects in places such as Dongyang and Nanyang.

Not to mention Dongyang and Nanyang, even if the local dialects of the mainland are different, businessmen from the south may not be able to understand each other's conversations when they go to the north.In places where dialects are dense, two villages separated by more than ten miles cannot understand each other's words.

Therefore, it will take years and months to make the empire have a common language, so that the cost of trade and communication can be minimized.

Chu Yun thought that in order to improve various legal systems, develop and popularize scientific and technological achievements, and build slowly to make the foundation more profound.

It is estimated that by the time the West realizes how powerful the Eastern Empire is, the technology hidden behind Chu Yun has surpassed this era for many generations, especially biplanes, internal combustion engines, and petroleum technologies are being developed nervously.

Biplanes, internal combustion engines, and petroleum technology are mostly the things of the second industrial revolution and are still in the laboratory, while the steam age of the first industrial revolution is being popularized.

"The little thing is so good." A woman in the backyard was teasing a fluffy quokka with fresh leaves.

The quokka is only the size of a cat, and it stretches out its short hands to grab the young leaves.But the woman didn't want him to get the delicious food so quickly, but shook the leaves to let the squat kangaroo run around.

"This little guy has gradually adapted to life in our yard." Chu Yun squatted down and smoothed the quokka's fur with his hands.

The quokka brought by the Oceania expedition team has become a pet in the Chuyun mansion and can move freely in the yard.

"The members of the intelligence office in Guangzhou have already sent a telegram, and the British envoys will arrive in the capital soon. Although they haven't arrived yet, they have stated in advance that Charles I has agreed to your commercial treaty, military lord." Ella This time, instead of teasing the short-tailed kangaroo, he said while watching the chubby short-tailed kangaroo.

"I also learned about this matter. It doesn't matter whether Charles I agrees or not. It is nothing more than a few years or more than ten years to delay the opening of the European market. When the domestic market is gradually saturated and the prices of labor and raw materials rise, Businessmen will look overseas and pursue higher interests. Even if we don’t take the initiative to explore other places in the world, businessmen will lobby officials and urge the government to organize sailing.” Chu Yun said.

"My lord, what you said is that in the age of great voyages, those who were active in the farthest places were always businessmen and adventurers seeking profit, just like Li Jinde took his own private cargo ship to venture there after hearing about the situation in Europe." Ayla, who lived in the early days of the empire on which the sun never sets, deeply believed in this.

"By the way, about Da Yuer..." Chu Yun looked at Ella with some hesitation and embarrassment.

"Everything in this empire is owned by you, Master. The East has Eastern traditions. You can do whatever you want, Master." Ella also looked at Chu Yun.

The two have been together for a long time and know each other's thoughts.

"Silly girl, it may be a good thing for a person to own everything, but it is not a good thing for a country or a nation. Regarding the matter of Da Yuer, I will think of a way, and maybe the system will make further adjustments." Compromise." Chu Yun said helplessly.

The system wants to erase Da Yuer's consciousness to avoid being discovered. Chu Yun negotiated with the system, and it seems that taking concubines is a solution that the system can barely accept, making the system believe that Da Yuer, who is vaguely aware of the existence of the system, can be controlled .However, Chu Yun didn't want to compromise with the system so easily. If he had to take a concubine if he used the system to save an aborigine in this world, it would be equivalent to prohibiting him from using the system's advanced medical technology to treat injured generals and important figures in the future.Especially if the other party is a woman, it's okay, but if it's a man, Chu Yun can't do it.

"Sister Da Yu'er is also very poor. If she is by the standards of Europe, she is not very old at all, but in the East, she seems to have become a married woman long ago. Isn't it a thing for you to accept her admiration, Mr. Military Master?" The best of both worlds?" Ella said again.

"Both you and Ling'er will be more or less affected. How can you say it's the best of both worlds. Even if you want to take a concubine, it's just a superficial expedient measure. She will do whatever she wants. She even has to sacrifice her own future. Originally, she There is a chance to become one of the top officials of the six departments." Chu Yun said.
