Chapter Eighty-Six: The Empire Is With Us

Xiao Er took the booklet with great joy, and it was densely packed with materials, equipment and staffing!

Wang Zheng saw that Xiao Er had his own career, he was a little anxious, why didn't he have his own business? Did he come to the auditorium??

Wang Defa said with a smile:

"Your task is heavier than that of Xiao Er, after all, you are bigger than him.

You're going to take a fleet south to Port Best in Western Australia, and then follow the westerly wind belt straight to the ------Chilean region of South India, where you can find an open-pit copper mine according to the coordinates I gave you.

That will be the shallowest buried, the largest reserve, and the highest-grade copper mine in the world!

With our current mining and refining technology, we can produce at least 100,000 tons of copper per year------ but you need to process it into copper fines there. ”

100,000 tons of copper!

Wang Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, what is copper? That's money!

Wang Defa continued: "This is not the point, you just need to leave some miners and technicians and related equipment, and you have to take the rest of the fleet along the cold current to the north to this position, this is the most important thing, where Chilean saltpeter is produced, whether it is industrial, agricultural, or military, we need it too much!" ”

Of course, Wang Zheng understood, saltpeter was more important than gold and silver to some extent!

I see------ he nodded earnestly.

"Besides, you need to follow the coast to this part of North Indian, let's call it the Mexican region, and you will find an open-pit silver mine there according to the coordinates I have given you.

There are three main ethnic groups in the southern Yindian, one is called the Incas, who claim to be the descendants of the sun, not very civilized, and still tribal.

They live mainly in the mountains under volcanoes, where the soil is more fertile, deep inland, and the climate is relatively dry and cool, and they can grow a variety of crops with the help of river irrigation.

The second type is called the Aztecs.

The Aztecs grow crops in what I call the central valley of Mexico, where I draw a circle------ but they are not physically adapted to the climate and soil of the coastal tropics, so they should be treated well when they are used to protect themselves from heat and cool.

The third type is called the Maya, well, they mainly live in this area, they are more adapted to the coastal tropics, but that area is more remote, and they may not be needed for the time being. ”

Don't need them??

Wang Zheng carefully calculated the scale there, it was not far away.

King Zhang Guoan smiled and said, "That place can't be talked on a scale------- you don't need to go into the rainforest, so they can take the initiative to find you!"

When you go to Baiss City in Australia to unload goods, you should ask how the gnawing dog allows the indigenous people to actively participate in the labor. ”

"Yes! The empire is with us! ”

Wang Defa went on to say:

"These three of your points will be developed slowly, and each of them will be designed and arranged for a settlement of 50,000 people in the early stage, and 300,000 people in the long term.

There is no need to rush to deliver supplies back, first develop living conditions, and in half a year to a year, I will send a special transport fleet.

Wang Zheng, like Xiao Er, you need to work there for three to five years until I find someone who can replace you, are you willing? ”

"Yes! The Empire is always with us! ”

King Zhang Guoan said: "I appoint you as the governor of Chile, and then I will issue you a seal and documents------

Okay, Wang Zheng and Xiao Er high-fived each other to congratulate!

Both of them became governors, and they forgot that the earth was round.

Wang Defa's family had to remind them, saying:

"It's very close to Europe from Nanyindi Anzhou------ maybe the two of you will meet often, if you have the time and experience, you will go to each other once and each note a new route!"

yes, how did you forget about it!

The two of them put aside the joy of being governors for a while, and began to study the route on the most comprehensive globe possible.

Wang Defa said: "I have prepared two copies of this kind of globe and world map for you, you should not disclose it for the time being, for your safety, keep it secret for a while." ”

Without raising their heads, they said, "Understood, we all understand!" ”

King Zhang Guoan and Wang Defa's family glanced at each other, very good, they have cultivated people who dare to venture to the strange sea!

Maybe they are just for money or status, but to pass on the seeds of this kind of adventure, to let the kind of fallacy that I will have less if you have more, and always calculate each other------- and then will a new era really come.

Chile is a good place, it has very rich mineral, forest, aquatic resources, copper reserves in the world.

At present, although the world's largest copper mine is in the Great Song Dynasty, there are 100,000 miners there, which is really unimaginable!

However, the copper ore is of low grade, difficult to mine, and the refining technology is too bad, and it is believed that Wang Zheng will be able to win the world's first place in ten years.

There are about 1.2 billion tons of iron and 5 billion tons of coal.

In addition, there are molybdenum, gold, silver, aluminum, zinc, iodine, oil, natural gas, etc.

But none of that mattered, it was only through the copper, saltpeter, and silver mines that three footholds could be established on those two beautiful continents.

Of course, the two of them knew that there were gold mines in California and Alaska, but if they were to develop there, it would involve the efforts of the other three points of construction.

Citizens will not be able to develop by leaps and bounds, and citizens will take their time to enjoy the world's resources.

Soon, Xiao Er and Wang Zheng found that the medical conditions equipped for their fleet were too high, so high that they occupied too many cabins and personnel.

This conclusion, they drew from the experience of the last voyage.

Wang Defa's family explained: "You have the best medical conditions and the best medicine in the world, but you don't have the place where you go, and the slightest disease may wipe them out and lose a lot of labor in vain." ”

Wang Defa's family specially instructed Wang Zheng to say:

"Don't go too deep into the North Yindian, the three kinds of people I mentioned are quite gentle in temperament and are easily conquered by foreigners, but due to insufficient beliefs and material conditions, they kill their own people unceremoniously, and there are not many young and middle-aged people who kill 10,000 at a time!

If possible, I'm talking about trying to prevent this from happening if it doesn't harm you! ”

Wang Zheng doesn't feel very good, there is still such a belief in the world, and there is such a nation!

Next, the two of them began an intense and orderly preparation.

After inspecting the five-masted ships they had prepared, they quietly concluded that the two masters must have begun planning a long time ago, or they would not have modified so much, and they would not have found so many old sailors at once.

At present, the various maritime merchants are beginning to plan their own maritime trade, and experienced sailors have become extremely sought-after talents, and sometimes high salaries are not available.

The other houseboys knew about the two of them, and the group was ready to find a chance to celebrate, and compared to the two of them, they were just playing at home.
