Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 342 Moving towards Australia (please subscribe!)
Yingtiangang.

Zhu Kezang came here again, seeing the extremely busy scene in front of him, with a gratified smile on his face.

The Yingtian Port in front of me was still busy, and the wharves were full of sailing ships, and occasionally a steam ship was mixed in.

The dock workers loading and unloading the goods are constantly busy, and the four-wheeled carriages coming and going are constantly transporting the containers.

The dragon flags of Ming Dynasty were fluttering on the big ships, and then the flags of various commercial firms.

There are even many merchant ships from countries such as Korea and Siam, and many Koreans and Siamese can be seen everywhere in the port.

This is the benefit of joining the Holy Ming Alliance. It is tantamount to canceling the original restrictions on exchanges between Daming and Daming vassal states, and they can freely travel and do business.

Daming is their boss, and it has an extremely huge market and a large number of commodities. There are also many Koreans and Siamese who come to Daming to do business.

The benefits of being backed by a big market reminded Zhu Kezang of Victoria 3, where a small country developed because it was backed by the market of a big country and sucked the blood of a big country.

This forced Zhu Kezang to have the idea of ​​​​annexing these vassal states!

By the way, among the many vassal states of Ming Dynasty, many people from the vassal states came to Daming to work here.

Because Daming's Yangtze River Delta economic belt is developing at full speed.

Working in the Yangtze River Delta, the income is very high, with food and housing included, and it is no problem at all for a tael of silver a month. What is more important is that a large number of workers are needed here, and the more the better.

Factories, workshops, commercial firms, transportation companies, etc. are all places that require a large number of workers. Small factories and workshops employ hundreds of people, and large factories have thousands or tens of thousands of people.

Today's Yangtze River Delta region is like a huge black hole, not only attracting people from the southern provinces to slowly gather here, but also attracting people from surrounding countries to come to work.

For this reason, an industry was born. Some people went to Korea, Siam and Dongying to recruit people to work in Daming, so as to extract benefits from both sides.

No matter which era, black intermediaries will always emerge as the times require.

Standing at the wharf of Yingtian Port, Zhu Kezang saw a North Korean merchant ship, and many Koreans descended from it, all young and strong.

They carried packages one by one, and looked at the bustling Yingtian City in front of them with curious and longing eyes.

Zhu Kezang is very happy to see such a phenomenon.

Before machines were used on a large scale, manpower was still an extremely important resource. Although Da Ming had a huge population, Da Ming had a vast territory and would expand globally next.

This population is definitely not enough, and it is also a good thing to be able to use the manpower of other East Asian countries.

It is better to use East Asians than other people, at least they are of the same language and species, and now East Asian countries are popularizing Ming Dynasty official dialects and Chinese characters. After a long time, the difference between them is actually the same. When you grow up, everyone is of Ming culture!

However, no matter how scarce the population is in the future, Kunlun slaves cannot be used. There are plenty of people all over the world.

The key is to find a way to let the people of Ming Dynasty spread more branches and leaves, and encouraging children is the kingly way!

Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Kezang walked towards a pier.

Dozens of large ships are moored here at this pier, with the Great Sun and Moon Flag flying above them, and preparations are being made before sailing.

These large ships were the ones sent by Zhu Kezang to open up routes to Australia.

Australia is a good place, with a vast land and few people, and extremely rich resources, such as iron ore, gold, silver, copper, etc. are extremely rich in reserves.

The most important thing is that in Australia, there are no enemies to fight at all.

Not only are there very few aborigines in Australia, but the key point is that their civilization is also very backward.

In history, the British occupied the whole of Australia with a few hundred people. It is conceivable how powerful the fighting power of the Australian aborigines is.

Such a chosen place must be occupied.

"Long live my emperor!"

Seeing Zhu Kezang approaching, Chen Xin, the person in charge of the fleet this time, hurriedly took him away and said respectfully.

Zhu Kezang looked at Chen Xin and nodded. Chen Xin is also an old face under his command. He has been with him for several years.

"Xiao Chen, I'm leaving soon, I'm here to see you off."

Zhu Kezang said while walking on the pier.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xin's eye sockets were slightly moist, he knew very well that Zhu Kezang was now on the throne, and he was very busy every day, so he even took time out to send himself off.

"You shouldn't encounter too many problems when you go to Australia. As long as you don't get lost, if you go south all the way, there are islands or land along the way, and you can easily get supplies."

Zhu Kezang explained to Chen Xin as he walked.

Australia is very important. As long as this unclaimed land can be occupied, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty will not have to worry about it for hundreds or thousands of years.

"It doesn't need much in the early stage. It's almost enough to build four or five strongholds along the way. In the future, when there are more immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, we will expand slowly."

"From north to south, slowly explore the east coast of Australia. Gold and silver are not important. The key is to find out in detail the distribution of indigenous power in these places."

"Yes, I must remember the emperor's instructions!"

Chen Xin replied very respectfully, keeping what Zhu Kezang said firmly in his heart.

Zhu Kezang nodded in satisfaction.

"There are so many things I have to explain."

"You are going to Australia this time. The journey is far away and full of difficulties and dangers. You must be careful."

After explaining the matter, Zhu Kezang looked at Chen Xin, and then at the young faces on the big ships.

These people are all great sailing warriors of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, for them, there is no question of whether they are warriors or not. They have only one purpose in going to Australia, and that is to make money.

Daming paid these crew members very high salaries, and they were all overwhelmed to get the opportunity to go to Australia this time.

It is said that if you discover gold or silver mines, you can get a considerable commission!

Going to Australia is tough and tiring, but the crew members go to Australia, and two years or so is enough to earn money that they can't spend in a lifetime. There are too many people who want to go to Australia.

Here at Yingtian Port, the trading houses who knew that Ming Dynasty was going to open up the Australian route also dispatched fleets to follow them, all wanting to go to Australia to make a fortune.

The emperor Zhu Kezang has always been a weathervane, and the businessmen know that this emperor of Ming Dynasty will not do business at a loss.

Follow him to drink soup, that's right.

The great voyage era of Ming Dynasty seems to be about to begin, and gold and silver are the strongest driving force.

Soon, with the ringing of the sailing bell, large ships began to move out of the port one after another. Under Zhu Kezang's expectant eyes, they formed a huge fleet and slowly moved towards the water and sky. away.
