Tianjin Port.

Liu Jin came here again, looking at the extremely busy scene in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Tianjin Port in front of me is very busy, the wharves are full of big ships, the dock workers loading and unloading goods are busy, and the four-wheeled carriages are constantly transporting goods.

The big ships fluttered the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and then the flags of various commercial houses, and even there were many merchant ships of North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, and many Koreans and Japanese people could be seen on the port.

The signing of the treaty of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the abolition of the restrictions on exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they could freely come and go, do business and trade.

Daming is their suzerain, and there is an incomparably huge market and a large number of goods, and there are many Koreans and Japanese people who come to Daming to do business.

Even on the side of North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, there are people who come to work on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

The income of working here in the Beijing-Tianjin area of Daming is very high, including food and housing, and it is no problem to casually pay 2 taels of silver a month, and more importantly, there are important people here, the more the better.

Factories, workshops, trading houses, transportation houses, etc. are all places that require a large number of workers, small factories and workshops have hundreds of people, and large factories have tens of millions or tens of thousands of people.

The Beijing-Tianjin area is like a huge melting pot, attracting not only people from the northern provinces to slowly gather here, but also people from North Korea and the Japanese to come and work.

For this reason, an industry was also born, and some people went to North Korea and the Japanese country to recruit people to work on the side of the Ming Dynasty, so as to extract benefits from both sides.

Standing at the wharf of Tianjin Port, Liu Jin saw a North Korean merchant ship, and many North Koreans came down from it, all of them were young and strong, one by one with packages and looked at the prosperous Tianjin in front of him with curious eyes.

There is no doubt that these people came to work in Daming.

For such a phenomenon, Liu Jin is still happy to see it.

Before the large-scale use of machinery, manpower is an extremely important resource, although the Ming may have a huge population of hundreds of millions, but the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and then it will expand globally.

This population is definitely not enough, and it is also a good thing to be able to use the manpower of the Lower Korea and the Wa Kingdom.

It is better to use Koreans and Wa people than to use other people, at least it can be regarded as the same origin and the same species, and now North Korea and Wa are also according to the treaty of the Ming vassal states, are popularizing the official language of the Ming Dynasty, popularizing Chinese characters, and after a long time, in fact, the difference between them is not big.

If the manpower is not replenished, the future may be the same as the Europeans in history, large-scale black slave trafficking and the like, when he thinks of the black uncle who will only make trouble in later generations, Liu Jin thinks that it is better to use Koreans and Japanese people.

In the future, even if the population is scarce, Kunlun slaves cannot be used, and there are people all over the world.

Well, the key is to find a way to let the Ming people spread out more branches is the king.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Jin walked towards a dock.

Dozens of large ships are moored here at this wharf, and the large ships are flying the flag of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, and preparations are underway before setting sail.

These dozens of big ships are the big ships sent by Liu Jin to open up Australian routes.

Australia is a good place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the resources are extremely rich, such as iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, copper ore and so on.

The most important thing is that there are no people in Australia at all, and the indigenous people of Australia are not only very few, but the key is that the civilization is also very backward.

The British in history occupied the whole of Australia with a few hundred people, and you can imagine how weak the combat effectiveness of the Australian aborigines is.

If they were really good at fighting and being so brave, they would not become natives, and those who were killed would need to be protected.

Such a chosen place, it must be occupied.

Moreover, Australia can also lead to the Southern Golden Continent and open up a new route to the Golden Continent, which is even more important and needs to be occupied.

"Childe~"

Seeing Liu Jin coming, Guo Ye, the head of the fleet this time, hurriedly took it away and said respectfully.

"Hmm~"

Liu Jin looked at Guo Ye and nodded, Guo Ye is also an old man under his command, he has been with him for a few years, from a poor boy at the beginning, now he can be responsible for the navigation of dozens of big ships.

"I'm about to leave, I'm here to see you off~"

Liu Jin also said while walking on the dock.

"Childe~"

Guo Ye's eyes were slightly moist, he knew very well that Liu Jin was now in a high position, and he was very busy every day, so he even deliberately took time out to send himself.

"There shouldn't be much of a problem for you to go to Australia, all the way south, there are islands or land along the way, and you can easily replenish it."

"I already told the imperial court last year that the Nanyang Province has always been building a new colonial base on the islands along the way to Australia, and it is not a big problem to go to Australia."

"The key is that after you arrive in Australia, you will go to the Southern Golden Continent through Australia, which is a long journey, and there are no islands on the route, so you must be well prepared in advance."

While walking, while watching, he also explained to Guo Ye.

The route from Australia to the South Golden Continent is very important, which is related to the layout of the entire Pacific Ocean, so Liu Jin also gave more advice.

Once this route can be successfully opened, there will be three routes to the Golden Continent at that time, the northern Waguo, Yuxi, and Qianhekou routes, the middle Hawaii route, and the southern seas, Australia, and South Golden Continent routes.

After that, it will be much easier to travel to the Golden Continent, and there will be more options.

The gold and silver of the Golden Continent can flow into the Ming Dynasty in a steady stream, and the population of the Ming Dynasty can also spread rapidly throughout the Pacific Rim along the three routes, and quickly occupy Australia and the Golden Continent.

As long as they can occupy these two ownerless chosen places, the descendants of Yan and Huang will be able to use them for hundreds or thousands of years in the future.

"Yes, Guo Ye must remember the child's entrustment!"

Guo Ye replied very respectfully, firmly remembering what Liu Jin said in his heart.

"Hmm~"

"After you arrive at the South Golden Continent, remember to send someone to the north along the west coast of the Golden Continent to see Tian Erniu's situation on the Golden Continent, it's been almost a year, and there is no news now."

"You tell him that you must send a few ships back every month in the future, and my side will also send some ships to the Golden Continent every month to form a prescribed route and exchange."

Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction.

After thinking about it, I remembered the huge fleet led by Tian Erniu, thousands of big ships and more than 100,000 people went to the Golden Continent, and there was no news so far, and I still didn't know their situation.

Sending Guo Ye to Jinzhou, it is naturally indispensable to tell him to contact Shimoda Erniu and bring a message.

"Yes~"

Guo Ye hurriedly wrote it down.

He and Tian Erniu are also old acquaintances, both graduated from Tianjin Maritime College in the same period, and they used to drink and brag together when they were here in Daming.

Think about it, if you see Tian Erniu again in the Golden Continent, and then drink and brag together on the Golden Continent, what kind of scenery will it be.

"Yes, by the way, let's take a look at the construction of the Golden Continent colonial stronghold."

"At the beginning, I asked Tian Erniu to build a colonial stronghold along the west coast of the Golden Continent from north to south, and after you arrived at the Southern Golden Continent, you also wanted to assume a colonial stronghold from the south to the north."

"You don't need too much in the early stage, it's almost enough to build four or five strongholds along the way, and then slowly expand after there are more people in the future."

"Also, the South Golden Continent can go to the east coast of the Golden Continent by bypassing the southernmost tip of the Golden Continent, and your side is also going to send people to establish some colonial strongholds here along the east coast of the South Golden Continent."

"From south to north, slowly explore the east coast of the Golden Continent, gold, silver or anything is not important, the key is to find out in detail the distribution of the indigenous forces in these places, and figure out the natural climatic conditions of these places."

Here, Liu Jin's mind came up with the map of the Golden Continent, and after thinking about it, he commanded Guo Ye again.

"Yes, Childe~"

When Guo Ye heard this, he hurriedly replied and remembered Liu Jin's words.

"That's all I have to explain."

"You are going to the Golden Continent, the road is far away, there are many difficulties and dangers, so be more careful."

After explaining the matter, Liu Jin looked at Guo Ye, and then at the young faces on the big ships.

These people are all the seafaring warriors of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, for them, there is no warrior at all, and they go to Australia and the Golden Continent for only one purpose, that is, silver.

Du Mingen went to the Golden Continent for the first time and brought back 30 million taels of silver and silver, and even the most ordinary crew members were able to share a few thousand taels of silver.

The case of getting rich overnight has also inspired countless poor people to plunge into the ocean.

Many people are willing to go to sea with seafarers even without pay, learning the experience and technology of navigation, and every time Tianjin Maritime College enrolls students, there are countless people who want to get in.

Because everyone knows that the crew members have a very high income, and if you can become a captain, the income will be even higher.

Although going to the Golden Continent is hard and tiring, but going to the Golden Continent in about two years is enough to earn silver that can not be spent in a lifetime, and there are too many people who want to go to the Golden Continent.

Here in the port of Tianjin, the commercial houses that knew that Tianjin Ocean Trade was going to open up routes to Australia and the South Golden Continent also sent fleets to follow, all wanting to follow to Australia and the Golden Continent to make a fortune.

Gold and silver are the strongest driving forces, and everything else is fake.

Soon, as the bell rang for sailing, the big ships began to leave the port one after another, forming a huge fleet and slowly moving away between the water and the sky.
