The trick is to run around, it depends on whether you will find it, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, Chaoshan Bank, Guangzhou Merchant Bank, they are near the river and the sea, and it is certain that they will look for opportunities on the sea, and soon after leaving the capital and returning home, they will begin to put the expedition into action.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank to Ningbo as the core, in the downtown area of Ningbo money village forest, to Zhu Youxiao set up the Ming State Bank, these money banks according to the needs of the new situation to form Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, their shareholders are more scattered, there is not much shareholder, so their competitiveness is not too strong, and the habit of money is to make money in the way of operation, so in addition to Ningbo, Suzhou has some large-scale handicraft workshops, the rest are dependent on interest. But after the formation of the bank, this situation has changed, because they are all shareholders, there is no way to lend to each other, the funds are managed in a unified manner, and the development of the outside is their only way out, but the scattered shareholders are sometimes the biggest obstacle to resolution, so their development is relatively slow.

When the president and some of the larger shareholders who participated in the meeting came back, they began to reflect on their own behavior, whether it was because their selfish behavior affected the development of the consortium, especially seeing the advanced way of thinking of the shareholders of Tenglong Bank, they reorganized the equity based on the local and business methods, and the shareholders who participated in the meeting became fewer, and there was naturally less arguing.

They had now decided to assemble a caravan to explore, and to be on the safe side, their chosen trade partner was the four islands of Wakoku, which were lured by the bull Venus and were engaged in a scuffle, requiring large quantities of weapons and food. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium naturally did not dare to transport grain over, this was forbidden by Zhu Youxiao's order, and weapons became the only choice he had to have, but without food, there was no way to continue to fight on the four islands of the Japanese country, so they bought grain from Annan, bought weapons from the local area, and then sold these things to Japan.

At this time, Japan's war was in full swing, and the addition of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums added fuel to the fire, and where more silver mines were discovered, with the maturity of advanced smelting technology, a large number of large quantities of silver flowed to Jiangsu and Zhejiang at a faster speed, laying the foundation for the development of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The land in Fujian is barren, and there has been a tradition of exploring the world since ancient times, and it is even more common for them to go to sea to do business. When the Ming Dynasty implemented the sea ban, they were secretly going to sea to do business, and now they have entered the age of navigation, they are like a fish in water, they don't have to set up too big a caravan to take risks, a small merchant fleet has long been to Luzon, Java and the area, because the sea is in Quanzhou City for the record, the headquarters of the Bank of Quanzhou is located in Quanzhou, under the coordination of the Bank of Quanzhou, they distribute the market in a unified manner, to avoid vicious competition. The bank's headquarters, on the other hand, for greater profit, formed larger expeditionary merchant ships to further afield the African coast and new undiscovered places.

The headquarters of the Merchant Bank of Guangzhou is in Guangzhou, they started with overseas trade, overseas trade is their traditional trade, whether it is Portugal or the Netherlands are the first trade with them, now in addition to the original custom of trafficking goods to Malacca, but also set up a caravan to the Americas, and the Ming Royal Trading Company to cooperate.

As the most powerful firm in Daming, Daming Royal Trading Company is naturally the leader in opening up overseas markets, and it is also very good for the younger brothers of other parties, as long as they are willing to run together, all with it, such a large world market, no matter how big a business house is, it is impossible to do all the business.

As more and more expedition fleets go to sea, more and more people are needed, just the coastal generation is not enough, the expedition team began to find people from the interior, or go to sea, or work in factories and workshops, the population began to spread overseas, such as the Yingtian Kingdom, the Daimyo Kingdom, the New Chang'an, the New Luoyang and other places The population of the Ming Dynasty is also increasing, but this process is relatively slow, and it will take a long time to have a large number of people.

By chance, an expedition team of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank was blown by the strong wind at sea and lost its course, originally thought of the three islands of the Japanese country, but ran into the vast sea of the Pacific Ocean, the whole fleet suddenly fell into a predicament, drifted with the wind for nearly a month, and sailed to a large island, met some natives who could not understand the language, and then fought, although the fleet was small, but the power of the firing gun was not something that these natives could resist, plus the artillery bombardment on the fleet, Soon the natives surrendered, and then they offered tribute, asked for peace, and the fleet was restocked.

Look at the tribute sent by the indigenous people, there is a lot of food in it that has never been seen before, this is not unusual, each place has its own unique things, but there is nothing unusual in other things, gold and silver and the like, but not too much, the crew is a little frustrated, feel that this is a relatively poor place, even if they make some trades, it is estimated that these people will not have many good things, so they are ready to sail away, go around the island, and see if there are other tribes that have something worth exchanging, After a month of wandering, you have to gain something, or it won't make people laugh.

One of the crew members suddenly saw that a stone sitting under the buttocks of one of the tribe's natives was glowing golden, so he ran over and kicked him up, and brought the stone back to the prospector who was with him to see if it was a gold nugget. The prospector carefully looked at it with a magnifying glass, and it was not a gold nugget, but a piece of pure copper ore, and it was a natural copper-rich ore. Then the chieftain of the tribe was summoned over, and he made them understand with gestures that they were looking for this ore, and the fleet was given a great copper-rich mine. The whole fleet was overjoyed, just as the natives offered to buy the mine, and the natives, not understanding why they were interested in the mountain, asked for some iron machetes in exchange for giving them the area.

This fleet alone could not mine the mine, and they had to find enough miners to work. It wasn't until they circled around the island and found that it was a rather large island, so they decided to go back to Daming to recruit miners. After the navigator on the ship took great pains to compare the charts obtained when he went out to sea, he finally determined the location of the island, so he left half of the people to continue to explore here, and the rest walked back in the direction of Mindanao, returned to Daming, and reported to the bank headquarters.

When the expedition team of the Bank of Jiangsu and Zhejiang got the copper ore, the expedition team of the Bank of Quanzhou also kept exploring into the distance, after passing Java, they continued to sail south, and finally arrived at a continent, and found a large number of indigenous people, they did not have a conflict, but had a good conversation, it doesn't matter if the language is not understood, and there are gestures, after exchanging some things, they made a tour around the continent, and it turned out that the area of this continent is too large, and many animals on it are very different from the domestic ones, They judged it to be a new continent that had never been explored. When they sailed along the north coast, they met the expedition team of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, which was exploring here, and they exchanged their charts with each other, and they roughly judged the pattern of the sea area here.

This is a big deal, they think that this matter needs to be reported to the Ming cabinet did not let them decide how to manage this generation, and now the view that "the world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's minister" is still deeply engraved in their minds, and the report is their only thought. Later, when Zhu Youxiao found out, he understood that they had arrived in the area of Australia in later generations, and on the one hand, they agreed to develop the copper mines discovered by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Bank, and on the other hand, they agreed to the request of the Quanzhou Bank to immigrate to this new continent for development, and sent officials from the imperial court to manage this vast land.

As for the names of these two lands, they were named after the expedition that discovered them, so the new names of Quanzhou Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province were added to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the residents of Fujian began to migrate to Quanzhou Province in large numbers, and more than three million people passed in almost two years, and later became the majority of the population here. Jiangsu and Zhejiang banks mainly developed copper mines, only organized tens of thousands of people, and later understaffed, but also bought some mining slaves from the Japanese country, let these mining slaves go to mine stones, the miserable life made these people not one out of ten, and later forced by public opinion, the situation was better, the result is that some Japanese and indigenous descendants were left here.
