I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 266 Kun Yu Wan Guo Tu!Iwami Ginzan!

Including Lao Zhu, these older generations of Daming had fought Bei Yuan for a lifetime.

Compared with the Wa country far overseas.

They even want to completely defeat Bei Yuan!See the day when Beiyuan will be destroyed!
This is the wish of all Daming people!
Zhu Yunzhen could understand, but he never agreed. To put it bluntly, his real purpose in going to Japan was to focus on the mines in Japan.

Even the mine is not his real purpose!
Zhu Yunxi's real purpose is to use the acquired mine as a guarantee to continue to issue additional national debts in the country!Print money vigorously!

Keep up the land reform!

Zhu Yunxi didn't really care whether the silver from the mine could be transported back to Daming, what he needed was a big cake that the big guys could see and touch.

As for how long to eat?
This is not within the scope of Zhu Yunxi's consideration.

After all, the journey is far away, and they have to be dug slowly, and when the silver is really sent back batch by batch... I am afraid that Daming will not be able to repay the national debt by relying on his own ability.

In addition to grasslands in Beiyuan, there are grasslands...

Sending troops now has no real meaning, after all, Zhu Yunxi's purpose of going to Japan.

It is still to let the people of Daming know that Daming has occupied many silver mountains, and there will be no shortage of money in the future.

Enhance the people's confidence in the Ming court's ability to repay debts.

Confidence has gone up.

Didn't the money come in a rush?
"The conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is a matter of great importance. At present, the entire Ming Dynasty is building national roads. When the national roads are completed, the transportation of materials will be more than a hundred times more convenient."

"By then, it will be easy to station a million troops in Beiyuan!"

Zhu Yunxi calmed down Lan Yu, Xu Huizu and other generals a little bit.

But in fact... all he described was a big cake that could be seen but not eaten!
Not to mention that he was planning to eliminate the old army, streamline the Ming army, and liberate the young and strong labor force.

It is absolutely impossible to station a million troops permanently in Beiyuan.

Secondly, Mobei is so big, what is the use of stationing a million troops?
In the final analysis, we still need to use the method of dividing pastoral areas for management.

If possible, it would be best to lay wooden tracks in the vast desert, and use horses as power to drag the carriages.

Create a 'train' that fits the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

At that time, no matter how wide the desert is, Daming's army can arrive in a short time.

In this way, Bei Yuan naturally couldn't make any waves.

"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Yunxi glanced around the court.

All the ministers and officials dared not look directly at him.

I dare not object.

So Zheng He's expedition to the country of Wa was settled in this way.

And as the matter of conquest of the Wa Kingdom was finalized, the matter of land reform was also on the right track.

It was rare for Zhu Yunxi to have some leisure again.

And this free time, Zhu Yunxi came to Yao Guangxiao's residence immediately.

He has a very important matter to entrust Yao Guangxiao to do.

Zhu Yunxu walked into the courtyard, exchanged a few words with Yao Guangxiao, and then got down to business.

Take out a picture scroll from the sleeve.

Spreading it out, he said, "This is the map of all countries! I only want you to make a special feature on the People's Daily, explaining this map of all countries in detail!"

"Introduce to the people in detail the customs and features of the ten thousand countries."

“There are also specialties from different places!”

Yao Guangxiao looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Yunzhen.

But I saw that this so-called Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms was actually a map!
And the direction Zhu Yunxuan pointed at was marked with Daming!And Daming only occupies a small part of this map!

As for the Wa country on the side, you have to look closer to see the whole picture!
"This..." Yao Guangxiao was dumbfounded.

Her throat became hoarse unconsciously.

Quickly asked: "Your Highness, where did this picture come from?"

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Yunxi to say that he read it from books, and he can only evade it from foreign businessmen.

He explained: "Didn't Gu get sweet potatoes from foreign merchants in the past?"

"Since then, Gu has paid attention to overseas affairs."

"Send people to keep inquiring, collect information from all parties, and finally compile this map of Kunyu and Wanguo, and understand the general picture of our world."

Zhu Yunxi did not mark this picture in detail.

There is only a general orientation, and some general terrain markings.

After all, if it's too detailed.

On the contrary, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. Now that it is roughly marked, it can be passed on to other foreign merchants.

If there is a problem, it is their problem.

It has nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi.

"It turns out that the world is so vast..." Yao Guangxiao never imagined that the vast and boundless Ming Dynasty only occupied a small part of the entire world.

"what?"

Yao Guangxiao suddenly pointed curiously at a place with fog on the Kunyu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map.

Asked: "Where is this place?"

"Why is it all fog? Could it be that the borders of the world are all fog?"

The place Yao Guangxiao pointed to was the edge of the map.

The map of Kunyu Wanguo takes Daming as the center, with a vast continent to the west and a vast and boundless sea to the east, with only the shadow of a part of the continent on the border.

The rest is all fog.

Zhu Yunxi explained: "This is where the sweet potatoes are, but it's too far away from Daming."

"The foreign traders who got the sweet potatoes came here only by chance."

"I haven't explored the whole picture of this continent, but I heard that it is extremely vast and the area is as large as that of Daming!"

Although Zhu Yunxi compiled the map of Kun Yu Wan Guo by himself.

But these words were not false.

Everyone thinks that the American continent was only discovered during the Age of Discovery, but in fact, this continent had been discovered long ago.

Not to mention that it has been 25 years since Hongwu.

Even counting back 100 years, many Europeans have already discovered this continent.

It's just living in isolation, occupying only a marginal position.

The whole picture of this continent has never really been explored, and no one has spread the news.

In fact, Europeans have always known that there might be another landmass on the other side of the sea.

It's just that the large-scale development of this lost continent will have to wait until after the great voyage.

But Zhu Yunxi's focus today is not on this.

Instead, pointing to the small island country to the east of Ming Dynasty, he said: "Although the Wa country is a mere island country, it lacks supplies and land is scarce."

"But there is only one thing, but there are many."

"In Wa Kingdom, there are many open-pit silver mines with huge reserves and easy mining."

"Take Iwami Silver Mine as an example. If we mine it with our Ming's technology, the silver that can be mined every year is at least more than several million taels!"

"And in the territory of Wa Kingdom, there are countless such silver mountains!"

"If it can be all owned by the Ming Dynasty, the silver taels mined back to the Ming Dynasty every year will be no less than tens of millions of taels of silver!"

Historically, Japan's silver output once accounted for one-third of the world's total.

Tens of millions of taels!

And this is even if their mining technology is not very good.

If Daming was responsible for the mining, with the most advanced technology, there would definitely be a huge number of tens of millions of taels of silver mined every year!

It’s higher than the entire year of Ming Dynasty!

And this is the income of pure silver, which is different from physical objects and has the ability to maintain value!

With these silver in the account, the banknotes issued by Zhu Yunxi can also have more purchasing power. After all, his banknotes are directly linked to silver, and their value is guaranteed!
There will be no significant decline in the value of banknotes.

It can be said that these silver mountains in the Japanese country were of great use to the Ming Dynasty!
"So many?" Yao Guangxiao was also shocked!
Immediately, there was a gleam in his eyes.

Excitedly said: "Wa country must be taken down! Take it back to my Daming!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Yao Guangxiao who was so excited that he couldn't control himself and smiled.

Said: "The resources of the Japanese country are poor, and they are of little use to my Ming Dynasty."

"We just need to buy their silver mountain, and first get their 100-year mining rights."

As for 100 years later?

Give them back then.

Daming didn't care about that little land either.

Colonial economic exploitation is what he wants!
Yao Guangxiao smiled understandingly.

Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, then I'll organize my staff immediately, and use this picture of Kunyu Wanguo as a basis for discussion, and start a column of Wanguo!"

"Let all the people of Ming Dynasty know how big the world is."

"Let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know the purpose of Taisun's expedition to Japan!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly coughed lightly.

He said: "You need to remember that you sent people to make this map of Kun Yu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms. It is the information that you only obtained through many inquiries."

"It has nothing to do with Gu."

Yao Guangxiao naturally understood, nodded and said, "That's true."

"I will also specially arrange for some people who have been to the Japanese country to come forward and give their own experience to let everyone know that this is not just Weichen's family."

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction.

The fact that this matter came out of his mouth weakened three points of his persuasiveness.

But when Yao Guangxiao said it, it was more convincing.

After all, Yao Guangxiao's reputation as a wise man and a demon has spread throughout the government and the public.

soon.

The new issue of People's Daily was published, and the government and the public were immediately shocked!
Everyone can't help but discuss this matter!

The size of the world has given all the people in the capital and the officials and officials a shock that they can't explain clearly!

Among them, there are some interesting stories about the customs and customs of various countries, which have become topics for people to talk about when they are bored.

And the news of Iwami Ginzan came out.

It caused an unprecedented sensation!
The Japanese country actually has such wealth!

Everyone couldn't help feeling greedy, that's tens of millions of taels of silver a year!

If it can be owned by Daming, wouldn't it be...

At this time, another news came: Zheng He, the prefect of Songjiang, had successfully led the navy to regain the chicken coop and destroy the pirates stationed on it!
Capture thousands of thieves and return to Songjiang Mansion!
And the Ming Navy was not damaged at all!Even the only injured person was caused by a slippery deck!

The news came back.

Immediately, the morale of the court and the people was shaken!
With such a navy in the Ming Dynasty, it may not be impossible to conquer the Wa Kingdom and occupy the Iwami Silver Mountain!
All the people in the capital have expectations in their hearts.

I hope Zheng He can capture Iwami Yinshan!
Under the eager expectation of all the people, Zheng He led a navy of tens of thousands, boarded the newly built treasure ship, and slowly carried supplies, and began to head north!
At this time, the summer wind started to blow.

Zhu Yunxi also began intensive preparations for the issuance of additional national debt...
