In Liu Jin's house, Liu Jin crossed Erlang's legs, thinking about what to do next.

"The next step is to send a fleet to Australia and open up a route from Australia to the Southern Golden Continent, which will not be affected by the climate, and can be sailed in winter, and there are many islands along the way, and the safety is higher."

"If this route is successfully opened, it will be possible to form a north-south dual route at that time, plus the middle route to Hawaii, there will be three routes, and the Pacific Rim route will be initially formed."

"When the time comes, colonies will be built on this Pacific Rim route, and the entire Pacific Ocean will almost be regarded as my Ming Dynasty's inland sea."

"Tsk, it makes people happy to think about it."

Liu Jin happily asked the servant to open a world map, looked at the huge Pacific Ocean, and then looked at the vast Golden Continent and Australia, and suddenly felt that he had crossed over and finally done something.

"The pastures here in Australia and South America are some of the best in the world, and when the time comes, you can also establish some permanent pastures for future generations, and then immigrate some steppe people, and you will no longer have to worry about not having wool and horses."

"Well, here in Nanyang, clean up Annan this year~"

"This Annan is a bit dishonest, saying that you occupy the north, and you will have a foothold on the Indochina Peninsula, and then slowly expand, so that you will become our Ming vassal state is not willing to suffer, and they are all self-righteous."

"Tianzhu wants to establish a colonial base here to facilitate the exchange of merchant ships, and in a few years in history, Europeans will enter the South Asian subcontinent on a large scale and enter the South Sea region."

"Stop them on the Tianzhu side first, it's best to stop them on the African side, the west coast of Africa belongs to them first, and the east coast belongs to us Daming."

"As for the Golden Continent, I didn't say it, it must all belong to our Daming."

Looking at the world map, my mind is constantly recalling the major maritime events in history.

Vasco da Gama opened up the East India route, and then Europeans began to arrive in Tianzhu and Nanyang in a steady stream, colonizing them all the way.

What I have to do now is to colonize the past from east to west, all the way to the past, and eventually there will inevitably be conflicts in Africa or Tianzhu, competing for colonial strongholds and the like.

"I still have to find a way to hit it from the land~"

"The Western Regions is a good place, where cotton, cattle and sheep, and beauties are there~"

Soon Liu Jin's eyes looked at the Western Regions again, and he also remembered many Western Regions beauties he saw on TV in later generations, and he understood why the ancient emperors liked to pay tribute to the beauties of the Western Regions.

"Fight all the way from the Western Regions to Eastern Europe, and naturally have a connection with Europe, but it is easier to lay down this vast land, but it is very difficult and difficult to rule here for a long time~"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin was obviously contemplative.

If it's just a knock-down, that's no problem at all.

The military reform of the Ming army continued to be completed, and the soldiers who were originally low in combat power gradually became peasant households, and they diligently went to farm.

The new conscripts are trained every day, and their weapons and equipment are the best in this era, and their combat power is very strong.

The 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Shouren was even more rampant in the grassland, and now they have begun to gradually move from Liaodong to the west to prepare for the attack on the Western Regions this year.

The newly trained 50,000 iron cavalry, that is, is training on the grassland every day, galloping, training cavalry combat, training artillery fire, just waiting for Emperor Hongzhi's order to kill the Western Regions.

Liu Jin felt that there was no problem at all in conquering the Western Regions, and the key was how to rule the Western Regions.

The Western Regions is an extremely vast land, not to mention that it has to go all the way to Europe, and Central Asia is also very huge, full of vast grasslands and deserts.

But this is not the key, the point is that there are no Ming people in these places, and even if they are occupied, if there are no large number of Ming people, it is impossible to rule such a vast place.

What's more, this area was the domain of the former grassland people, and many places were still ruled by the descendants of the Golden Family.

"It's difficult~"

"Maybe there will be another large-scale immigration~"

"It's just that the Western Regions and Central Asia are the same as Nanyang and Liaodong, and it's not easy to immigrate~"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin felt annoyed.

These places are very important places, with vast land and abundant resources, and even if they do not have much effect now, they will be a huge wealth for future generations.

"Immigration, there must be large-scale immigration~"

"The official population of my Ming Dynasty is 60 million, plus the population that has been concealed, I am afraid that it will easily exceed 100 million, and after a while, I will ask Emperor Hongzhi to exempt the person tax, and then find out the population."

"There is certainly no problem for millions of people to emigrate from Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and Sichuan provinces."

"There are millions of people in the Western Regions and Central Asia, and when the time comes, children will be encouraged, and in a hundred years, this place will be stable."

Liu Jin looked at Daming, and suddenly felt that Daming's population seemed to be a little small, and there was a feeling that it was not enough.

This is the South Seas, the Golden Continent, and Australia, and the population seems to be a little insufficient.

"Master, the former head of the household department is here to visit~"

At this moment, the housekeeper of the house came and spoke.

"Zhou Jing?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was slightly stunned, what did he come to do with himself?

Is it for the sake of Jin Shang?

"Please go to the living room~"

After thinking about it, Liu Jin commanded.

Here in the living room, Zhou Jing took Fan Hanshi, Wang Wentian and Huang Liwen to visit Liu Jin.

He thought about it, in the entire Beijing-Tianjin region, there was only Liu Jin who could have such great energy and use this method to block Jin Shang.

And Zhou Jing also knew that Liu Jin hated those who broke the rules very much, and it was obvious that Fan Hanshi was a destructive force and broke Liu Jin's layout, so he was ordered to be banned by Liu Jin.

"Is it good to follow the rules and make money?"

"I have to do a lot of things, do the anger and resentment of the people, the people's resentment is boiling, this unfinished thing is a big trouble, once the court intervenes, these real estate will not be able to play in the future, this is to cut off everyone's financial route, no wonder it will be blocked."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Jing figured out the root cause of the Jin Shang's ban.

They offended not only Liu Jin, but everyone else, cut off everyone's financial route, and it was no wonder that they were not blocked.

"Zhou Gong~"

Soon, Liu Jin walked over with a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhou Jing, he also hurriedly smiled and said.

"Liu Gong~"

When Zhou Jing saw Liu Jin, he also shouted solemnly, and Fan Hanshi and Wang Wentian also saluted.

"Zhou Gong, I don't dare to be it, you are still the same as before, call me a stinky boy~"

Liu Jin hurriedly said in fear, with Liu Jin's current official position, he can actually be worthy of the title of Liu Gong, but when he thinks about it, he is only in his twenties, and he is called like this, and he is old.

"Who are these?"

Then he looked at the three Fan Hanshi he brought over with some confusion.

"This is Fan Hanshi of the Fan family in Shanxi, Wang Wentian of the Wang family and Huang Liwen of the Huang family~"

Zhou Jing hurriedly introduced.

"Oh ~ long look up ~ long look up!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately knew, and sure enough, it was the same as he guessed, looking at this Jin businessman, he immediately smiled.

"Zhou Gong came over today, I don't know what advice he has?"

Don't talk nonsense with them, Liu Jin doesn't have a good impression of these Jin merchants, and it's for Zhou Jing's sake that he doesn't directly sweep the floor and drive people away.

"Liu Jin, several of their families, now they also know that they are wrong, I don't know if you can raise your noble hand and let them go, the conditions are easy to say, as long as you say it, they will definitely do it."

Seeing the displeasure on Liu Jin's face, Zhou Jing immediately understood that this must have been done by Liu Jin.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, if other people, they were bleeding, maybe they could still have hope of escaping this catastrophe, but it was Liu Jin.

He still knows Liu Jin better.

What this person hates most is those profiteers.

The grain merchants who had just started and the salt merchants who followed all made Liu Jin miserable.

In the past, the famous Hui merchants, the most powerful families in the past, let Liu Jin die, especially those salt merchants, now they are all very honest.

On the one hand, Liu Jin leads people to make money, and on the other hand, he hates those who will do anything to make money.

Fan Hanshi and Wang Wentian just broke the rules, and it was too difficult for Liu Jin to let them go.

If you want silver, Liu Jin has silver, you want power, he is also powerful, you want to have a reputation, there is nothing worthy of Liu Jin to let them go.

"Zhou Gong, why don't I understand what you're talking about?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhou Jing and said lightly.

"Liu Jin, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, now that the Jin merchants have been blocked by everyone, they also know that they are to blame, and they are willing to change their ways, please raise your noble hand and let them live!"

Seeing Liu Jin pretending to be confused, Zhou Jing sighed, and said bluntly after thinking about it.

"Liu Gong~"

"We have already known our mistakes, and we also know the mistakes we have made, and we are willing to take all the responsibilities for this, and please let us go, and we will do it all."

Fan Hanshi also stood up and said very respectfully.

After Zhou Jing's pointing, they finally understood who they had offended, and it was Liu Jin who they had offended.

"It's not that I won't give you a way out~"

"You guys have cut off your own way~"

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, and if he does too many things that hurt nature and reason, he will naturally be punished."

"Someone, send off~"

Liu Jin looked at the three of them, sighed and said, and walked away directly after speaking.
