Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 142 One hundred million!Zhang Juzheng, start with you! (4.6k to order!)
'South America? ! '

For this group of princes and princes of tomorrow, this is a brand new term that has never been heard before.

It can only be preliminarily judged from the word state that it is a place name.

Lao Zhu, who had just tasted the taste of Eagle Sauce in New York State, A Biao, who was still suppressing his anger, and Lao Zhu Di and other emperors, including the important ministers who were known for their knowledge sitting on both sides, all frowned upon hearing this. , eyes full of doubts.

"Master Immortal, every time I return from my voyages to the west, Zheng He will present me with sea charts, but I have never seen them on the sea charts, or heard about this place in South America from Zheng He's mouth."

Old Zhu Di said in a condensed voice.

Among the big geniuses present, the old Zhu Di is undoubtedly the one who has the most say in the matter of sailing. Come to North Korea.

As for Xuande's trip to the sea, it was just a matter of making up numbers.

further on...

The charts were all smuggled.

"I haven't heard of it either."

Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao frowned and clicked his tongue. He was the only emperor among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who almost started the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he paid special attention to countries other than Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be impossible to master six foreign languages. .

If Zhu Houzhao had succeeded in opening the sea back then, there would probably be nothing wrong with Spain in the future.

When it comes to the empire on which the sun never sets, most people immediately think of Great Britain, but in fact the first country in the world to achieve the achievement of never setting sun is not Great Britain, but Spain.

It took only 20 years for the Spanish Empire to expand overseas to colonize half of the world.

At its peak, the colonial territory directly controlled by Spain added up to 3150 million square kilometers.

The world's continental area, excluding Africa and Oceania, adds up to only 9000 million square kilometers.

Spain, worthy of the name, is the first-generation overlord of the ocean on which the sun never sets, and the second-generation is not Great Britain.

But the Netherlands.

After the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the title of "Ocean Overlord" was inherited by the second generation of the Netherlands. The number of ships on the sea in the Netherlands once reached [-], which was more than all other countries in the world combined , Known as the 'Sea Coachman'.

In the end, it was Great Britain's turn. Through four Anglo-Dutch wars spanning two centuries, the Netherlands was finally exhausted, and it carried the banner of the ocean overlord, becoming the third generation of the Sun Never Sets.

Every time he sees this piece of world history, Ji Boying sighs in his heart.

In this turbulent era of great voyages, the Ming Dynasty, which was originally one of the most powerful countries in the world, was completely isolated.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Zhengde, was likely to be the first to open the age of great voyages. As a result, good fortune tricked people, and he was easily soluble in water. I don’t know how many descendants sighed.

As for the other emperors and princes, they basically have no say in the matter of sailing.

"Ah."

"This area is the largest area that Zheng He reached during his seven voyages to the West."

With a flick of his hand, Ji Boying circled the sea area where Zheng He had been.

"As for South America, the straight-line distance from Daming is about [-] miles, and the sea voyage distance is about [-] miles."

A word out.

Everyone was stunned and stunned.

Forty thousand miles!
This distance is really too terrifying.

The boundless sea, boundless, is a frightening existence, let alone a [-]-mile long-distance ocean voyage.

Among them, if there is a carelessness, encountering a storm, it may sink into the vast sea and be buried in the belly of the fish.

"Brother, what does this South America have to do with our silver expansion plan?"

Lao Zhu frowned, staring at the South American plate on the globe.

After listening to many lectures, Lao Zhu has habitually learned to grasp the core of the problem.

All of a sudden, everyone else pricked up their ears.

They knew that the dry goods were coming.

"Old Zhu, let me ask you."

"What's the first step in Silver's expansion plan?"

Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu and asked calmly.

"Of course it's silver."

Lao Zhu obviously reviewed the content of the class after going back, so he answered without any hesitation this time.

"very good."

Ji Boying scanned the emperors and princes of the early Ming Dynasty.

"You are living in an era where the national power is strong, the government is relatively capable and clear, and the war power of the Japanese country is weak, so you only need to let the army successfully cross the Korean Strait and land on the Japanese country."

"With the fighting strength of the Ming army, it is not difficult to take down the four islands of the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom after landing on the island."

"Facts have proved that you have indeed done it."

"and."

Ji Boying paused.

His eyes fell on these emperors in the mid-Ming Dynasty.

"Students in the second period, apart from the Zhengtong and Chenghua I just mentioned, Tianshun, Hongzhi, and Zhengde, all of you in these dynasties are unable to form an army capable of crossing the ocean to conquer the Japanese kingdom in a short period of time."

It's not that Ji Boying looked down on them, it's the fact.

No matter what kind of war, the source of power burns money.

For example, the two Korean Wars during the Wanli period were in nature an aid to the anti-aggression war, and the cost was already much lower than that of an active transoceanic attack.

Even so, the Korean War cost more than [-] million silver from the Wanli treasury.

This is due to Long Qing Kaihai, otherwise he would not be able to fight at all.

Not to mention that the expeditionary force took the initiative to attack the Japanese country across the ocean, and the military expenditure consumed in the early stage was only high.

Take the Hongzhi Dynasty as an example. Zhu Youtang, who was in Hongzhi for 17 years, didn’t have enough coffins for himself, and he couldn’t even build the imperial mausoleum, let alone spend tens of millions of taels of military expenditure on the expeditionary army, which is simply nonsense.

In the Tianshun Dynasty, the time was too close to the defeat of the civil fortress, and the entire national army hadn't slowed down. In addition, the threat from the north was great, so the possibility of an expedition was naturally very low.

As for the Zhengde Dynasty, it’s not that Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was not good, but that although he wanted to go to sea to make money, he never had the opportunity to do so, so that the national treasury was not up to the level, the defense of the border was okay, and the cross-sea expedition was impractical.

"Since you three dynasties can't afford to form an expeditionary force, there is only one way for you to get enough silver to start the silver plan in a short time."

Ji Boying pointed to South America on the globe.

"Recruit fearless volunteers and send ocean-going ships to open up new routes to South America."

"What I want to remind is that this is a task that more than [-]% of it will never return."

Even if you explore the American continent from the position of Spain, the survival rate is below 10%, not to mention opening a route from Ming Dynasty to South America, which is simply a purgatory-level difficulty.

Of course, this also has something to do with the preparation. Most of the hard-working people in Spain are early self-explorers. Some people set up a wooden boat and set sail to sail. It is not at the same level as Zheng He's long-distance fleet. .

The voice fell.

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked.

"Master Immortal, is there silver in South America? How much silver is there, and it is worth our crossing [-] miles?"

Ji Boying smiled slightly, and then clicked on a place in South America.

"There is a mountain range in this area, and there is a silver mountain in it, called the Potosi Silver Mine."

"Of course, if this silver mine is occupied by you, you can give it another name."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help frowning again.

"Brother, it's just a silver mine, and it's only tens of millions of taels of silver. Why is it so laborious?"

Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu, and then at the others, it can be seen that everyone else has the same view.

"Under this silver mountain, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are buried."

The voice fell.

"10 million taels?"

Hong Xi Zhu Gaochi was still ill and his eyes and ears were deaf, he wondered why he was so weak?

"Father, one hundred thousand, ten thousand."

Hong Xi's little Zhu reminded Fatty Hong Xi in a soft voice, emphatically adding the word 'ten thousand'.

"One hundred million?"

"One hundred thousand!!"

At first he was puzzled, and then he subconsciously roared, causing everyone to thump in shock.

After the big fat Hong Xi yelled, his body froze, he sucked in his breath, and panted heavily while covering his heart, as if he was about to recite it. A blood-red pill was stuffed.

This is a quick-acting medicine formulated with the combined efforts of Wanmizhai's prescription and Li Shizhen's prescription. It is specially instructed to take it immediately in case of emergency.

After a few gasps, Fatty Hong Xi finally recovered.

Ji Boying was taken aback. If Fatty Hong Xi closed the entrance of Hong Xi's time and space because of the sending of the one hundred million taels, then he would have no place to cry.

Taking a breath, Ji Boying swept away the princes and princes.

What he just said is not an exaggeration at all.

Since the discovery and mining of the Potosi silver mine in Spain in 1545, more than [-]% of the world's silver came from the Potosi silver mine in the years of peak mining.

"Brother, then, can we also send ships to open up this new route to South America?!"

Lao Zhu also became excited in an instant.

This is one hundred thousand taels of silver!On weekdays, I dare not dream of so much money!

Although there is already a Japanese silver, who would think that there is too much money? !

"of course can."

Ji Boying nodded.

"The further time goes, the better it is."

Spain was discovered by Columbus in 1492 (the fifth year of Hongzhi), and in 1498 (the 13th year of Hongzhi), and then Columbus discovered the South American continent. In 1512 (the seventh year of Zhengde), Spain established the first colony of the American continent in Panama. In 1513 (the eighth year of Zhengde), the Spaniards crossed the Isthmus of Panama, claiming that the Atlantic Ocean and all American lands belonged to the Spanish royal family. A few years later, the Inca Empire, which owned the Andes Mountains, perished. In 1545 (the 24th year of Jiajing), Spain was in the Andes Mountains Discover and mine the Potosí Silver Mine.

According to this timetable, as long as it lands in South America before Zhengde, Spain can occupy the Andes and the Potosi silver mine one step ahead.

Of course, for convenience, in this process, the only indigenous Inca Empire in South America needs to be wiped out.

And this difficulty is not too great for Daming who owns firearms.

Even if you are in Zhengde, you can be tough. After all, Spain did not have many troops stationed in South America in the early days, and they did not know the existence of the Potosi Silver Mine. Just hold it in your hand, the chances of winning are still great.

No matter how bad it is, it's okay to play a joint mining with Spain for fifty-five points.

As soon as Ji Boying said this, everyone became excited.

"It is very difficult to open up new ocean routes."

"If you can get silver from the Japanese country, you don't have to worry about South America. The silver from the Japanese country is enough for your early expansion plan. You can wait until the great voyage goes further before thinking about it."

The emperors all looked very excited, nodding on the surface, but actually Ji Boying knew that what he had said was the same as if he hadn't said it.

Now that I know that there is such a place in the world where there is a treasure mine of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I must dig it back.

"Master, then, what about me?"

Immortal Jiajing was taken aback.

He was happy for a long time, but in the end he suddenly discovered something.

From the beginning to the end, the master never called his name!
Could it be that I, the majestic Emperor of Longevity, is not worthy of having this one hundred thousand taels of silver?This is all my money!
"Love the fragrance and cherish the jade, cut the cake and share a piece with each other."

Ji Boying ignored Jiajing's question, raised his hand a little, and there were two more globe cakes beside the globe cake, after all, one globe cake was obviously not enough for more than 30 people.

As for the issue of ignoring Jiajing, it's not that he has any opinion on Jiajing God, he just doesn't want to hit Jiajing.

In the 24th year of Jiajing, Spain has colonized South America for more than 30 years, and has mined the Potosi silver mine for more than a year, so it will inevitably strengthen its defense forces.

Of course, the more important thing is that at this time in Jiajing, the Spanish Empire was at its peak, and it was a serious maritime overlord. Maybe Da Ming would not necessarily lose in a confrontation on land, but if it was a head-to-head encounter at sea, Da Ming would have a great The probability will capsize.

Ji Boying watched these excited emperors and princes return to their seats one by one.

Lianxiang Xiyu divided the three 'globes' into pieces and gave them to the emperor, prince, prince and twelve important ministers present.

The Immortal Jiajing was ignored and sat down with a disappointed face.

At this moment, his heart is extremely painful.

'Why do other people have hundreds of thousands of taels, but this emperor doesn't have even a dime? ! '

'Is this the fate of cultivators? '

'Small wealth to feel luck? '

'wrong…'

Immortal Jiajing suddenly thought of a point of view.

"Money is something outside of the body, and it is most likely to affect the Taoist heart. Master, isn't this testing our xinxing?" ! '

Thinking of this, Immortal Jiajing smiled.

Sure enough, I was the only one who found out the mystery!
Of course, Ji Boying didn't care what the god Zhu Houcong was thinking.

He just thought of one thing.

What about those time and space in the late Ming Dynasty, where should they go to get money?
Long Qing: Meggie is enough for me.

Wanli: None of my business.

Taichang: I don't have time to spend money.

Apocalypse: Wood can cost a few silver.

Chongzhen: I will save!

After a cup of tea.

Ji Boying didn't think of a solution for the time being, and for the late Ming Dynasty, losing the national currency power would be even more difficult.

Taking a breath, he glanced at the crowd who had just finished eating the cake.

This is the first time I ate a cake. It can be seen that it is still in line with the tastes of the emperors and princes, especially the three Zhu Gaochi. Except for Yongle Zhu Gaochi who was supervised to lose weight, there are five small plates on the other two fat tables.

Five servings per person.

"Take your hearts back from the silver."

"Next, let's continue the topic we left behind in the last class."

Following the words of the immortal master.

Everyone was still excitedly chatting about the matter of one hundred thousand taels of silver in their seats, but they fell silent for a moment.

His eyes were all on the line on the rice paper on the panel.

"How to maintain the basic disk of the empire"

The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest;
The one-hundred-story pagoda collapsed in the pile of soil.

For an empire, the basic disk is the foundation and the lifeline.

When the basics of an empire begin to crumble, that is when the foundations are rotten and the lifeline is broken and on the verge of death.

With his hands behind his back, Ji Boying swept across the group of emperors and princes.

All the sons and princes of heaven and princes were all heartbroken, and they lowered their heads subconsciously. They all had experience in class, and when they knew that the immortal master showed such a gaze, more than [-]% of them wanted to ask questions.

"You ministers, please answer, what is the core point of the empire's basic disk?"

Ji Boying's gaze flicked over the emperor and the prince sitting on his seat, and landed on a group of important officials sitting on both sides.

The princes and princes all heaved a sigh of relief, while the important ministers were stunned.

They obviously didn't expect that the secretaries who took notes for the boss would have the right to speak, and then they all thought about the answer quickly.

'Fortunately, I am the last one, you can refer to other people's answers first. '

Zhang Juzheng silently rejoiced in his heart, calmly observed other people.

"Zhang Juzheng, start with you."

The voice of the immortal teacher echoed in the classroom.

hum.

Handsome Zhang who was planning to learn from the answer: (д)!
