No one thinks they have a lot of things in their own house, and in the same way, no one is unhappy about getting other people's things into their own house.

Especially for a time-traveler like Emperor Chongzhen, he liked to visit forums in his previous life, and he knew some things that were not very confidential at all.

In later generations, there were many countries that did not have a small amount of their own domestic resources, but these countries often chose to spend money on imports abroad, and did not intend to mine them from their own countries.

Just like rare earth resources, this kind of metal resources that play an extremely important role in military, metallurgy, chemical industry, agriculture and so on, everyone is clamoring for the world's first rare earth content in the flower planter, and some rabbits are proud of it.

But in reality?

Rare earths themselves are a scarce resource, but they are sold cheaply.

Moreover, how many rare earth resources there are in other countries, and it is not clear how many reserves there are.

What should we do when the rare earths of the flower growers are sold out?

Spend a lot more and then import from other countries.

Even the dwarves in Dongying continued to transport coal mines and other resources back to the island from the flower planters during a short period of arrogance.

Even if it is used for reclamation, it is actually a weakening of the flower grower.

Emperor Chongzhen plans to study it now.

According to Zhu Yujian's statement in the recital, this is the discovery of an open-pit coal mine with huge reserves on Xinming Island.

Then what else is there to say, you can dig Xinming Island first, and then let Zheng Zhilong's fleet go to Daming, so as not to have to run empty when you come back after sending people over.

As for the coal resources in Daming.

After a strange laugh, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Pass on Wen Tiren, Guo Yunhou will come to the palace to see me." ”

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou are now in pain and happy.

If there is a black cauldron, Emperor Chongzhen can carry it himself, and he will never let his men resist, and he is very comfortable.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he really couldn't carry it, so he basically threw Huang Taiji or Lin Dan Khan to carry it.

But there is one thing about Emperor Chongzhen that is extremely bad.

That is, if you think about it, you have to do it if you think about it, and it's okay if you can't think of it, but once you think about it, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will feel better.

Now the two of them hurriedly got into the palace to see the driver, but the two of them have no time to be idle at all.

For example, how many things are involved in the construction of this section of the railway from Beijing to Tongzhou? And from Tongzhou to Shanhaiguan extension, at the same time there is also the railway to the south of Zhili, involving the geography of mountains and rivers, it is maddening to think about.

Especially Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard that he was so busy some time ago that he didn't even have time to spoil the concubine who had just gotten home, and as a result, the concubine got together with a good-looking little girl in the family.

Old Xue is miserable, he is so old and has been put on a green hat, even the little concubine and the little guy have now been thrown to the mass grave to feed the dogs, but this thing has happened, the hat has been worn, green.

The two of them discussed Lao Xue's mood after being greened, and walked towards the palace.

After finishing the normal etiquette of His Majesty's meeting, Emperor Chongzhen directly handed Zhu Yujian's recital to Wen Tiren, and then said: "I intend to transport the coal from Xinming Island back to Daming, and the coal from Daming is only used to supplement the shortage, what do the two Aiqing think?" ”

Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if it is transported back by Xinming Island, how should the price be determined?"

After all, the cost of coal mining in my Ming Dynasty is lower than the cost of transporting it in, and the price is lower. If a large number of them are imported from Xinming Island, I am afraid that the price of carbon will remain high? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "What Guo Aiqing said is exactly what I wanted. However, after all, coal mining on Xinming Island does not need to open a mountain to dig a cave, just go to the ground to pick it up, and the cost is very low.

Moreover, the transportation to Daming is also by sea, and the volume is also very large, so although the cost is higher, it will not be high. ”

After Wen Tiren pondered for a while, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible." After all, the South China Sea Fleet under the command of Zheng Zhi needed to return to Daming every time they transported immigrants to Xinming Island.

Even if you catch some fish at sea or something, it doesn't really have much effect, so it's better to concentrate on transporting some coal back.

It's just that the fleet is for combat purposes after all, and the transportation capacity is bound to be limited, so it is better to set up a few fleets to be responsible for transportation. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, he had this plan himself, thinking about how exciting it was for the world's first large-scale monopoly freight logistics company to be made by himself.

In line with the mentality of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered someone to summon Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, into the palace.

After seeing Xue Fengxiang, Emperor Chongzhen was very keen to find that this guy seemed to be a few years older, and the spirit of the past disappeared from Xue Fengxiang's face, but he was a little more sad.

After thinking about it, the emperor simply said: "I have also heard about the affairs of Xue Aiqing's family, and it is a good thing for such a woman to find out earlier, so as to save it from causing greater disasters in the future."

It just so happens that there are a group of palace maids in the palace who have reached the age when they should be released from the palace, do you want me to assign you a few? ”

If Emperor Chongzhen is not the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, he belongs to the most noble person in the world, and scolding him is even a crime of slandering the king, Xue Fengxiang will definitely scold him.

If it weren't for your errand, Lao Tzu would have asked someone to give green?

Even if it's green, it's not like you to bring it up in person, right?

What's more, you still want to arrange a few palace maids for Lao Tzu?

Regardless of whether you have enjoyed it yourself or not, at least Lao Tzu has to treat them as uncles, and whether there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang people among them, it is simply something that can be figured out with your toes.

Seeing that Xue Fengxiang was not sensitive to his kindness, Emperor Chongzhen had to regretfully give up this idea, and instead talked about the topic: "Xue Aiqing went back and mobilized some shipbuilding craftsmen to follow Zheng Zhilong to Xinming Island.

After arriving, cut down and build ships directly on the island, and don't use my Ming wood. In the future, the wood of Daming shipbuilding will also give priority to the use of Xinming Island.

If you are willing to go, one person will give a hundred taels of silver for settling-in expenses, and after the Tang King of Xinming Island has enough shipbuilders there, they are willing to stay in Xinming Island or return to Daming. ”

With the wood on Xinming Island and the existence of coal, Daming's own can be saved.

First of all, you can focus on the resources of Xinming Island, and then lay down other places, it will harm the resources of other places, anyway, the resources of Daming can be saved.

In this way, no matter how much the descendants of later generations are not angry, they can lose a few more years if they fail.

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen had such an idea.

Xinming Island, that is, the future Australia, no matter how much shit luck Tang Wang took to get there instead of India as originally planned, anyway, Xinming Island is now owned by Daming.

Even Xinming Island is owned by Daming, and all the resources on the island naturally belong to Daming, whether it is coal, trees, or even a flower or grass.

Since it's your own thing, you don't have to feel distressed to use it, and there is no such thing as giving money.

Even if it was to give, it would be to give Zhu Yujian and the three vassal kings some benefits and silver.

In this way, the coal used by Daming is the open-pit coal mine on Xinming Island, and the ship transporting coal is made of wood on Xinming Island, and Daming only pays some labor costs.

However, the most important thing in Daming is people - according to the statistics of Jinyiwei, Daming's current population is definitely a blowout.

Especially under Emperor Chongzhen's policy of encouraging people to give birth, in the next ten years, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to produce nearly 10 million more strong laborers.

Then you can screen out enough sources of troops from these people, and then go to occupy more territory and get more resources back to Daming.

It's basically a cycle, but a virtuous cycle.

The final result is that the Ming Dynasty can completely rely on its growing population and countless overseas resources to occupy the world.

And local resources can basically be saved.

For example, Xinming Island has coal resources, iron resources, trees, and grasslands.

The coal and trees of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the iron ore, can slowly stop mining and logging.

After thinking about Yang, Emperor Chongzhen simply summoned Zhang Weixian into the palace again, and the instructions given were very simple: "Order Zheng Zhilong's fleet to transport coal back on Xinming Island, and at the same time search for the existence of iron ore on Xinming Island. ”

Zhang Weixian quit.

Zheng Zhilong is the commander of the Navy's South China Sea Fleet, not the captain of the transport fleet.

And the most important thing is that the South China Sea Fleet under Zheng Zhilong's command is now more than half stronger than the East China Sea Fleet.

When the time comes, isn't it that he, the governor of the five armies, is unlucky?

Seeing that Zhang Weixian's thinking was bad, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Zheng Zhilong's fleet will not expand again, and the scale of the East China Sea Fleet will be further expanded to the same scale as the South China Sea Fleet, and even in the future, there will be the Western Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, etc., the burden of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is not light."

Now, there is no way to do it, let Zheng Zhilong's fleet transport coal and iron ore to Daming first, and Daming himself try not to mine it anymore.

In this way, even if the descendants of later generations are defeated, at least they have a family foundation that can make them lose for a few more years. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words have all been said to this part, and Zhang Weixian has no choice but to refuse, so he has to bow down at the moment.

Emperor Chongzhen then said to Guo Yun: "The Ministry of Household will also set up a separate division, and in the future, it will organize an ocean-going fleet to transport overseas coal and other resources back to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Guo Yunhou didn't do it anymore.

Originally, no one thought that there were too many rights in their hands, but too little.

But there is enough of the household itself.

What does the household department do? It is the existence that governs the territory, the land, the household register, the taxation, the salary, and all the financial matters of the country.

Its internal handling of government affairs is divided into divisions according to the regional division of labor. In addition to being in charge of the money and food saved, each department is also in charge of some of the general affairs of other yamen, and their responsibilities are often overlapping.

The institutions subordinate to the Ministry of Household also include the Minting Bureau and the Treasure Banknote Bureau, which are in charge of minting money; The three libraries of the household department of the treasury are hidden; The warehouse yamen in charge of warehousing and water affairs.

Don't look at the official position of the household department Shangshu is not too high, and it is just a positive second grade, but after these things are stacked together, Guo Yunhou has already wanted to kill people every minute.

Especially after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, there were more things in the household department.

The current household department, not to mention what is related to households and idlers, there are not even a few mediocre talents - Guo Yunhou can't wait for everyone in the household department to do things, and he can directly handle things properly, so that he can be more leisurely.

Now this master has asked the household to add a burden, this thing is absolutely not good, otherwise I don't know how much to add in the future.

When the time comes, will he become green like Lao Xue?

Guo Yunhou, who was frightened, simply bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to obey the order." The household department has a lot of affairs now, that is, even Chongzhen's three-year tax has not been clarified, and the matter of the fleet is really beyond its strength. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Guo Aiqing can think about it, this is an extremely important yamen." ”

Guo Yunhou gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the ministers really dare not obey the edict." It is not a pity for the death of a minister, but the major affairs of the country must not be delayed. ”

What do you like to say, anyway, there are enough bad things in your own household, so don't think about making trouble for your household again, we can't afford to toss our little arms and legs.

Seeing that Guo Yunhou was unwilling to take the affairs of this ocean-going fleet to the household department, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, then there will be a separate ocean-going bureau in addition to the Eighth Bureau of Internal Supervision, which will be assigned to the Si Li Supervisor, who will be responsible for the exploration of ocean-going materials and the transportation back to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The Ministry of Agriculture has expanded its territory to protect the country's fishery administration.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that this kind of play in later generations was very good, and those losers in the navy, and the warships in active service could not be looked at, so they could directly throw it to the fishery administration to play monkeys.

Now Daming can also get an ocean bureau first, and warships and transport ships will directly use active Fu ships to transport these materials to Daming from abroad - after all, Zheng He's eunuchs have been to the West back then, and this matter can be regarded as the old business that eunuchs should do.

As for those materials, don't care if it's strategic or not, don't care if Da Ming has it or not, anyway, let's talk about it back, don't be afraid of more.

If it doesn't work, just bury it, or use it for reclamation.

Anyway, it's a good thing that Da Ming's own can be saved.

After Wen Tiren, Zhang Weixian and others left the palace, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly remembered another big event.

This is actually not a big deal, but when it is small, it is definitely not small.

At the very least, it will change the current pattern of warfare at sea.
