Chapter 745: Selling Ships and Selling People

He looked at Zheng Keshuang and asked, "Then what are you going to use to buy our ships and population?" ”

Zheng Keshuang said with a smile: "If it is gold and silver, Your Majesty, you also know, since our family moved to Nanyang, that place in Nanyang is relatively poor, and we don't have much savings, so we hope to use Australian iron ore and guano to buy this time, we know that Your Majesty is making every effort to develop the agriculture of the Huaxia Kingdom, but agriculture is limited to many places in our China where there are few people and many people, and there are many mountains and little land, and the yield is insufficient, so we need to fertilize, my father went to Australia and found that there are guano on the islands in many places, Guano can increase the yield of grain, so it is very rare, and now we have experimented with guano for two years, and found that it is indeed useful, so my father hopes to use guano to increase the grain production of the Huaxia Kingdom, so that His Majesty does not have to worry about feeding the hundreds of millions of people in the Huaxia Kingdom. ”

"Okay, that's good." Zhang Qiang nodded, guano, especially the guano of those islands in the sea Zhang Qiang has not seen it, he has also seen a few books, if what Zheng Keshuang said is true, they have experimented, then it can be traded, and now the Ministry of Agriculture does not have to worry about improving crop yields.

I don't want to ask the system for chemical fertilizers and other production methods to increase crop yields.

I wanted these things from the system, I originally wanted to make my own arquebus, but when I didn't need an arquebus for that crossing incarnation, the system didn't contact me for a long time, and I didn't need to pay anything to get in touch, and I had accumulated more and more spirit points, and it was useless.

It seems that the system was born specifically to help his own avatar who traveled through the game's other world, not for himself.

Sometimes Zhang Qiang also feels sad, this system is not very good, which makes Zhang Qiang, who has no ink, very troubled, other traversers are knowledgeable than the sky, will this, will that, just click on it can turn stones into gold, even if people who don't have much ability have a system, the system is selfless help, and it pushed the protagonist of others to the altar, what about himself, he is still playing the old beauty of the game, mixing the water everywhere, planning how to profit everywhere.

Now twenty years have also made a lot of achievements, but the system almost ignores itself in the back except for helping at the beginning, what is this?

I don't know what the system wants, what can I give the system?

Just when Zhang Qiang was talking about things with Zheng Keshuang, Zheng Keshuang introduced the importance of guano to Zhang Qiang, and after the introduction, Zhang Qiang felt that it was advantageous and was about to agree, when the system suddenly popped up, "Australian iron ore, every ton of iron ore system gives you 1 resource point, you can buy technology products through resource points, or directly buy the goods provided by the system." ”

This Zhang Qiangdao didn't see it now, because the system didn't give him a system interface that others couldn't see like other traversers, and he could see.

Forget it, he didn't have much hope for this system, so he calmed down and continued to negotiate with Zheng Keshuang.

Zheng Keshuang said: "Your Majesty, after we arrived in Australia, we found that the iron ore there is easier to dig than Qiongdao, are some open-pit minerals, a shovel down is a piece of iron stone, this is simply enviable drooling, originally we also felt that there is a large territory, but after a long time I feel that there are no resources, I didn't expect to find so many iron and stone now, according to the craftsmen, the iron and stone there is better than our Ming iron and stone, and now we have mined a large number of them, but these iron and stone can not find a buyer, It can't be turned into gold and silver, but when I came this time, my father said that he wanted to exchange these iron and stone for the immigrants and warships and warships of the Huaxia Kingdom, and asked His Majesty to agree. ”

Agreed, of course Zhang Qiang agreed, Qiongdao iron ore is difficult to mine, the transportation distance is long, he used more than 2 million prisoners and hard labor, plus more than 100,000 militia to reach an annual output of 800,000 tons, originally a million tons, but 100,000 tons are clay, after crushing, and so on to the Kingdom of China has become about 900,000 tons of pig iron ore, after continuous refining, it can produce 50,000 tons of refined iron, 300,000 tons of wrought iron, 400,000 tons of pig iron, almost 800,000 tons.

This must be higher than the beginning of production, higher than the 500,000 tons after their own vigorous development, but it takes labor and effort, Australia's ore is famous in later generations, even if it is not smelted, at least 65,000 tons of 100,000 tons are real iron and stone, which can be used directly as iron ingots, and can be purified at intermediate level without the primary purification of Qiongdao, and then sent to the advanced purification plant of the Chinese Kingdom government for wrought iron purification, and then refined to become refined iron, which can already be made into general cannons and arquebuses, turned into steel, Can make new cannons and flintlock pistols.

"Tell me, how can I sell it to you?" Zhang Qiang was still very happy about these things that were conducive to the development of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Zheng Keshuang smiled: "These are not in a hurry, just leave them to the people below, I am mainly talking about whether I can sell them here, who is Your Majesty going to sell to us?" What we mean is that we want a million Han people, after all, we are all Han people, and Han people are all our people, if it is someone else, this different clan, different race, some things come, everyone will not be twisted into a rope. ”

Zhang Qiang didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to pay so much attention to the identity of the Han people, he himself is a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race, but now he pays more attention to the Han people, it seems that the student taught by the humble gentleman of the Donglin Party who said that the water was too cold and refused to die for the Ming Dynasty still has some blood.

Of course, the Han people can't sell them like this, and they still need a lot of Han people for their alien assimilation, but there are many Nanyang Han people in the territory, and these Nanyang Han people must be more stubborn in their hearts, and they will not identify with the mainland clans, so it is better to sell these people to them, but these people are relatively few, and they may be able to make up enough, but these people are active in doing business, and they are scattered all over the place, if you want to clear them out, you also need the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of People's Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Investigation has been for a long time, so you can only hand over some people near Jinling Mansion to them.

Then the Han people in Southeast Asia who have been mixed for several generations are handed over to them, and those Han merchants in Japan and Lu are handed over to them, so that it is almost done, plus some Tusi people in Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan, those are also Han people, but some Han minorities such as Hakka, Tujia, Miao and so on in the Han people, and handing over these people can just purify some Han ethnic groups.

It's not bad to give more of these people.

Then give them some Han officials and their families who are unwilling in their own territory in the Southern Ming Kingdom, and the vacated places are just enough to arrange the descendants of the people and officials of the second generation of the Huaxia Kingdom, these people have passed various examinations, and some have already experienced the test of land reclamation, and they are worried that there is no place to settle them, so they will be placed in idle positions first, and then promoted in the future.

Then arrange where the indigenous people in Southeast Asia who have been naturalized for several years go, one can reduce the population of the indigenous people in Southeast Asia in those countries, and the other is where to arrange the third generation of the people in the core area, Zhang Qiang found that after such an arrangement, there are more Han people in the territory, and there are fewer foreign races, if the Japanese in Xinlu Mansion are packed more for Zheng Chenggong, then Zheng Chenggong will definitely be grateful.

The two sides talked for several hours, and Zhang Qiang issued an order to let the cabinet discuss the matter, and more of the cabinet ministers went to contact Zheng Keshuang's subordinate officials, and asked Zhou Congee to compensate Zheng Keshuang, this matter is actually an internal affair He doesn't need to worry about it, he just knew.

A few days later, a messenger ship from the Kingdom of China brought a letter from Zhou Congee.
