In March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the fleets of Yu Hualong and Niu Jinxing, which had set out from the port of Tianjin, went all the way south around the southern part of Goryeo Province, and then turned around, and sailed northeast from the north of the four islands of the Japanese kingdom to about the 50th parallel north latitude, and began to move due east, where a slight westerly wind could be taken advantage of. Originally, the steam engine power could only sail about 400 miles a day, and it was day and night, but now after borrowing the wind power here, the speed is much faster, and it can sail 800 miles a day, and the fleet has hung up the main sail, unless it encounters windy weather, the ship cannot be stopped, and the rest of the time sails very fast, which is almost more than a month earlier than the scheduled three months to reach the Americas, and it will reach the west coast of the Americas in mid-April.

This time Yu Hualong, Niu Jinxing their luck is very good, according to this latitude route just arrived at the coastline not far from Zhao Ducheng, the huge fleet naturally can not be casually docked, Yu Hualong let a few clippers look for a suitable port nearby, very coincidentally found the fleet of fishing boats using steam engines, although this is only a few small fishing boats, but the people on the boat still found each other, looking at the familiar Ming flag, everyone greeted each other, and the fishing boat led the fleet to Zhao Ducheng, I met Zhao Shujiao and Fu Guan, who were pressing the formation here.

Zhao Shujiao, Fu Guan, and Man Gui have been here for a year, but Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui have been away from the Ming Dynasty for two years, and seeing the Ming fleet driving over, the excitement can be imagined, and it is definitely too late to inform Mangui who is far away in the south.

The next day, everyone woke up from drunkenness, and sat down together to discuss business, which is a very rare thing in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, but it is really too long outside, everyone has homesickness, even Zhu Youxiao will not blame when he encounters such a situation, but if Sun Chengzong is not easy to say, his old man has always put business first. Everyone looked at each other's drunken eyes, couldn't help but joke with each other, and then began to discuss the future development.

In the officialdom, we must always pay attention to the size of the official position, Yu Hualong's qualifications are relatively old, although Niu Jinxing's age is not big, but he is a celebrity in front of Zhu Youxiao, so everyone regards him as the biggest official, as for Niu Jinxing, he himself does not dare to take the big, according to him, he is a shopkeeper of the Ming Royal Trading Company, not a Ming official, but no one dares to think so. Zhao Shujiao's eloquence was not as good as Fu Guan's, so Fu Guan told Yu Hualong and Niu Jinxing about their experience this year.

First of all, how to survive the difficult winter with the help of the Inuit, how to reach the capital of Zhao after the arrival of Fu Guan's team, and then how to continue to expand, until the defeat of the Spanish invasion, told them 1510, and listened to Yu Hualong and Niu Jinxing were very moved, so they praised the three of them.

Yu Hualong, Niu Jinxing's fleet this time is quite large, in addition to more than 5,000 merchants and craftsmen, there are nearly 10,000 ordinary people, these are the youngest sons of the family or non-sons-in-law, the status in the family is relatively low, most of them have not yet married, I heard that the conditions for coming to the Americas are very good, the imperial court will arrange the cost of migration, so they signed up for this voyage, this is to increase the immigration of nearly 15,000 people, so that Zhao Shujiao, Fu Guan is very happy, they are worried that there are too few Ming natives here, I'm afraid that after a long time, the bloodline will be assimilated by the locals here, and when the time comes, I don't know if my descendants still know where their motherland is.

But Niu Jinxing told them that more fleets will be organized in the future, because it will take nearly half a year to go back and forth, and there will be faster ships in the future, and each time it will bring nearly 10,000 immigrants, according to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, the immigration here will not stop, thinking that the climate here is similar to the Ming Dynasty, in order to expand the living space of the Ming people, they have to learn from the Europeans, and carry out large-scale immigration here, the land here is fertile enough, and the population is sparse.

Now in the Americas, whether it is a steel mill or other workshops, their scale is much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty, the main reason is that the population is too small, and there are too many workers and technicians needed to build a large-scale qualified steel plant, and the thousands of people brought by Fu Guan are simply not enough, not to mention that there are more supporting facilities that require more people, which is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youxiao continues to immigrate here. Daming now has a population of more than 150 million, but the original most important residential areas, Guanzhong, Sichuan, Henan, Hebei after thousands of years of development, the land has been very barren, Zhu Youxiao will take a large number of soybeans can nourish the soil to restore the soil, for future generations to leave enough food base, at the same time can also obtain a large amount of vegetable oil, so that the oil is more abundant. The use of chemical fertilizers is easy to over-seize the soil fertility, accelerate the land compaction, and reduce the soil fertility, and only rely on the natural regulation of the environment is the best way.

Zhu Youxiao hated the decay of the late Qing Dynasty very much, it caused China to lose a lot of living space, and more than 300 years of slave rule made China extremely backward and the world's scientific and technological development, it is not too late to change the concept of Chinese from now on, which is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao implemented compulsory education in Daming and continued to emigrate in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

It is a long and ambitious plan to spread China's huge population base to these underdeveloped areas, to establish a model similar to that of the British Commonwealth, to make Chinese the lingua franca of all parts of the world, to maximize the living space of the Chinese, and to avoid the use of artificial family planning methods to adjust the decline of the Chinese population.

The main reason why the United States will become the hegemon of the world in later generations is that they have the largest amount of arable land, whether it is Britain, Germany, or Japan, their scientific and technological level may not be much lower than that of the United States. In particular, Germany, through the earliest national free education, made the quality of the German population the best in the world, but the small living space made its economic scale unable to be fully developed, and the harsh surrounding environment forced it to wage war for the living environment, but they failed, because their economic foundation was too weak, compared to the global colonization of England and France, their foundation was too shallow.

From the Mayflower steamship sailed to the American continent, the English colonization method became different from other countries, and English began to be vigorously promoted around the world, assuming that at that time the French * will vigorously promote the spread of language, then there would be no later American Federation, perhaps divided into several different countries, they all have their own mother country culture, but unfortunately in the case of British immigrants occupying the majority, these colonies were assimilated by them, English became the lingua franca of the United States, and the United States and Great Britain became natural allies.

The most basic condition for human survival is to eat and sleep, only after meeting these two most basic conditions can other things be considered, the Americas have a vast area, fertile land, so that the living conditions here are extremely excellent, but the too good conditions have not become the basis for the development of indigenous people, but have been used by the colonists with advanced science and technology, and the immigrants who came out of the small living space came to this fertile land, just like the hungry victims saw a delicious meal, It quickly attracted more greedy merchants.

Before England gained maritime supremacy, the Spaniards and the Portuguese were the largest colonists in the world, but they all plundered in a national way, and did not form large-scale immigration, and the English who came later learned from their experience and carried out large-scale immigration and criminals, dissidents, these are the places where England has more foresight than them, the country is stable, the colony expands, and then receives huge taxes from the colony, which in turn is promoting the economic development of the country. Then cycle again.

The biggest failure of France is the greedy usury, although they have obtained high returns, but they take the road of making money with money, the huge flow of capital has not entered the development of industry, even under the leadership of a generation of great man Napoleon, it is only a moment, by the Germans who started from industry twice to destroy the country.

Zhu Youxiao is now absorbing the advantages of various colonial countries in history according to his own opinions, not only exporting a huge number of immigrants, but also exporting Chinese culture, coupled with the continuous progress of scientific and technological knowledge, so that the Chinese civilization has spread to all parts of the world in all directions, and resolutely avoid plundering like the Spaniards, the greed of the French usurers, the shamelessness of the English, and the Germans from making enemies everywhere. His method was to assimilate the indigenous inhabitants as much as possible, live in peace with them, develop the scale of the domestic economy to the greatest extent on these basis, balance the difference in trade exchanges, and use the local industry of the Ming Dynasty to drive the development of the colony, so that the Ming Dynasty always occupies the top of development.
