"Where does the imperial court still have the money to develop the gold mines in Nanmingzhou?"

"The tightness of the national treasury is well known, and we need to prepare a lot of money for a war that is likely to occur in North America." In addition, there is Nanyang, according to the emperor's prediction, the Dutch are likely to fall into the troubled waters completely this year and intervene in the North American war - otherwise it will be too late, Chen Ming thought.

Then it's time for Batavia to change its name.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chen Ming sat high at the top, and a group of important ministers in the cabinet gathered. Liu Dezhao's face wrinkled a little deeper as he spoke, how could the money in the hands of the Ministry of Finance be invested in the Nanmingzhou gold mine thousands of miles away? Even if it's a bonanza with a high gold content.

That's no less than the cost of fighting a war.

Although Nanming Prefecture reported that the gold mines there were very large, and the ore gold content was also very high, and there was absolutely development value, the Nanyang Mining Company under the Ministry of Mines lobbied the cabinet like crazy to devour this big fat meat. But the Ministry of Finance simply doesn't have any extra money right now.

To develop a large-scale gold-rich mine is not to say that it can be developed, it requires large-scale investment in the early stage, especially in the barren land of Nanmingzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the mainland.

Liu Dezhao turned to Chen Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most suitable way to develop the gold mine in Nanmingzhou is to cooperate with the people. "Fang Kuan is a step further than the gold mine development in Xiangzhou.

"The Ministry of Finance doesn't have a penny of extra money." Although the gold produced by the development of a large-scale gold-rich mine would bring huge benefits to the treasury, the treasury really did not have any extra money.

Chen Ming also has no money, the silver and gold in his hand have long been spent to fill the financial deficit, and there are a lot of treasured jewelry and antique artifacts in the palace, but these cannot be circulated in the market.

He now regrets that the money he got before was spent too quickly and slipperily. It was very pleasant to split the MIA, and the money that had just arrived was also spent. Now the first team of the fifth exploration team of the Ministry of Mineral Resources went to Nanming Prefecture discovered the Shufen Mountain gold mine in Melbourne, Australia, on the original space-time plane, and the first team of the fifth exploration team sent back a simple map of the local area, which is obviously the location of Melbourne, the original space-time. They found 17 dog-headed gold mines with a size of more than 10 catties in the local area, and named the gold mine 'Jinshan' in a report sent back to Nanjing.

How could Chen Ming not regret it.

"Your Majesty, there is really no money in the treasury." Liu Dezhao stiffened his old face and said firmly.

Chen Cong on the side looked at Liu Dezhao's old face and couldn't wait to slap it, because he knew that the huge economic alliance involved behind Liu Dezhao had already turned his eyes to Nanmingzhou. No one could have imagined that there should be such a huge gold mine in that desolate place. Everyone who knows is salivating.

And most importantly, Liu Dezhao didn't lie, the treasury really has no money.

It's not that there is no small amount of money at all, there are still millions of dollars, and you can get it if you squeeze it or even tens of millions of dollars, but if the money is spent in this place, it will inevitably cause other chain reactions, and for a country, this is a headache. For a gold mine development project, it not only requires a large amount of money, but also time to wait for the return.

The already tight economy cannot afford to wait.

Now the rumor of the discovery of a super gold mine in Nanmingzhou has reached the ears of many people, and I don't know how many people are salivating, although the little money in their hands is a drop in the bucket for the development of a super gold mine, but they don't dare to be as greedy as the Ministry of Mines, they just want to get a piece of the pie.

For three days, Chen Han's top echelons of power were discussing the gold mine in Nanmingzhou.

There is no way, the report sent back by the first team of the five exploration detachments and the seventeen pieces of doghead gold that were sent back together are really amazing. There is no one that weighs less than ten catties, and the largest one is as long as an adult's arm, and the whole body is as brilliant as pure gold, weighing more than a hundred catties.

There must be gold mines near Kotou Gold, it's a matter of common sense.

There is also a bag of large grains of golden sand from the nearby Jinhe, with a total weight of more than 300 catties, and the largest particles are more than two taels. And what did the exploration team say in the report? They said they saw a river of gold.

- The clear river is full of dazzling golden sand. From a distance, it looks like a river made of gold. Countless golden sparkling crystals glistened in the sun, dazzling the eyes of the first members of the exploration team to discover it.

The exploration team made a fortune.

They work hard, they can't take care of their families, but they are lucky. The discovery of this large gold mine has brought rich rewards to all members of the first team of the five exploration teams. This is a reward that is higher than their salary for ten or eight years combined.

Three days later, Chen Ming was already holding a thick pile of specific regulations and implementation rules in his hands.

He acquiesced, the Ministry of Mines succumbed, and the gold mountain in Nanming Prefecture was developed completely according to commerce, and the imperial court was only responsible for the safety and order maintenance of the gold mine, and let go of all other aspects.

There are a lot of rules and regulations for these things, and the efficiency of the cabinet is extremely high, Chen Ming didn't expect it to be so fast, it was after more than a dozen rounds of tearing and arguing in the court.

Chen Ming didn't say anything, set the tone, and the thing was done.

Chen Ming is well aware of the value of Melbourne's gold mines, which are said to have produced 40% of the world's gold in the first decade after the 'mountain of gold' was unearthed, and that the mine lasted at least 50 years from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century.

At its peak, tens of thousands of Chinese from Fujian, Guangdong Province and other places worked hard there, and the discovery of this large treasury in history directly led to the 'gold rush', and in just two decades, Australia's population increased three-fourfold, from three or four hundred thousand to 1.6 million in a straight line. It laid a great foundation for Australia's future development.

And this time, the gold mine led by the major domestic interest groups has been launched, can it also set off a wave of gold rush?

If within one or two decades, the number of immigrants who freely go to Nanming Prefecture can also explode into hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, how can Chen Han save so much financial, material and energy?

Liu Dezhao still knew very well what Chen Ming was most worried about, so he persuaded Chen Ming from this point.

Mineral exploitation led by business groups is definitely more flexible and attractive to the general public than state-led immigration-based gold mining.

Of course, this process is still under the supervision of the imperial court at all times. The entire gold mine development undertaking is still dominated by the imperial court. Because the gold mined will eventually be collected into the national treasury. Gold is no longer 'money'.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that our army should capture Batavia." Half a month later, at the court meeting, Chen Cong proposed this.

The capture of Nanyang was originally in this year's plan, and the budget was also deliberately left in the financial expenditure, but this was entirely due to the insistence of the previous emperor. At the beginning, the Ministry of Mines lobbied for the start-up funds for the development of gold mines aimed at the 'target' of the war budget in the South Seas.

When now it turns out that the emperor's foresight was correct. At the beginning of this year, the 20 battleships of the Dutch officially joined the Franco-Spanish alliance and stepped into the anti-British alliance sequence.

This is the news that has just arrived in Europe the other day, and the Dutch have really entered the war. Then there is the Battle of Padang that has just broken out in Nanyang, a British fleet attacked the Dutch, and the time was too coincidental, which made the Manchu Dynasty Chen Han Wenwu important ministers believe that the Netherlands will never return to the arms of the British in a short time, at least before the British gulp the blood of the Dutch.

Although the British only harassed the Dutch East Indies with their navy, and did not have any decisive battles in Southeast Asia, this was enough.

The ending between Britain and the Netherlands should be similar to the previous time and space plane, and Chen Ming didn't think that the impact he had would have on such a major event.

So, the threat that the Dutch had before to the Gallic rooster did not exist, and the threat of the Gallic rooster to China was not worth mentioning at all. The current situation in the east of the world is Chen Ming's will that determines everything.

Nanmingzhou Mineral Development Company, five days after the Great Dynasty was officially established, on the same day the development company raised a total of 50 million yuan invested by 162 investors, Nanmingzhou Mineral Development Company began to be listed, and the major banks have included the company's shares in the first-class financial recommendation.

Everything is carried out under the escort of power.

The whole company has a total of 10 million shares, the registered capital is 100 million Chinese yuan, and the stock price opens at 15 yuan per share, which is equivalent to a rise of half when it is listed. Whether the other 50 million funds in the registered capital have been implemented is uncertain.

Only 1.5 million shares of the development company were put on the market, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, the stock price had crossed the 20 yuan mark, and the stimulus of gold made many people lose their minds.

Chen Ming no longer pays attention to the Nanmingzhou Mineral Development Company, and in his daily work, the Battle of Nanyang has been put to the forefront. Chen Ming sent Chen Cong, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, Liu Dezhao, the secretary of the second auxiliary finance, Chen Erbao, the governor of the left army, and Chen Quan, the governor of the rear army, who was the governor of the metropolitan government.

Two liters and two martial arts, these are the top figures in Chen Han's political arena. The three of them deliberated behind closed doors for a whole afternoon, and it was not until dusk that the closed-door meeting was over.

After the meeting, when Chen Cong, Liu Dezhao, Chen Erbao and Chen Quan returned to their respective homes, they instantly ushered in a large number of representatives from all over the world to listen to the tone.

Especially Chen Cong's family and Chen Erbao's family are the most lively.

At least seven or eight important ministers and more than a dozen military generals visited the house in person.

These people stayed at Er Chen's house until the night before they dispersed.

The next day, when he got up in the morning, Chen Ming returned from exercising in the Imperial Garden, and the report of the national security was delivered to him along with breakfast.

casually looked at what happened last night in the national security record, and Chen Ming didn't care.

Dongfang Hong has said that there is no party in the party, and the emperor thinks; There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Now that the cabinet is full of hills, he has long acquiesced.

Any politician will inevitably form a gang and keep warm. It's in nature!

And the first assistant minister of the cabinet and the first deputy governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, like the rabbit of the premier of the State Council and the first vice chairman of the Military Commission, how can there not be a group of supporters gathered around him?

Chen Ming was very tolerant of Chen Cong, Chen Erbao, the important ministers of the cabinet, and the important generals of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to form their own gangs, and just let Guoan plant a few nails in each small group. Keep an eye on it at any time, as long as they don't conspire to rebel, or turn back the clock on history, Chen Ming doesn't bother to care.

But these are all their little pigtails, if it really comes one day, when Chen Ming can't allow them to jump anymore, as long as they hand these things into the stunned hands of Liu Wenwei, Chen Ming can sharpen his knife to 'kill chickens and monkeys'.

The development of the Nanmingzhou Treasury was completely finalized, and the news began to spread throughout Nanjing City and the entire Jiangnan.

The more than ten doghead gold became a good thing, and it became the proof that another big gold mine was included in Chen Han's hands.

Just like the boom when the Xiangzhou gold mine was developed, the whole Nanjing boiled in an instant, the whole Jiangnan boiled, and then the whole China boiled.

The gold mining in Xiangzhou has set a great example for countless people.

Many people died tragically in Xiangzhou, but many more made a fortune because of the gold mines there.

And Melbourne's climate is better than Xiangzhou, I don't know how many times, there is like the southeast coast, mild and rainy throughout the year, and the precipitation is evenly distributed (slightly more precipitation in the second half of the year), which is an ideal place to live. It is already a key place of operation for the authorities of Southern Minnesota today. It is the third key area of Chinese immigrants in Nanmingzhou.

In an instant, this matter became a hot topic of discussion among countless people on the streets.

And then the emperor also made a decision to add fuel to the fire, Chen Ming decided that the world's public officials [Zheng Wupin Cap] can recommend themselves and choose to go to Nanming Prefecture to serve as a public office, with a quota of 200 people, of which the fifth and sixth grades will be until the public servants have their own quotas and their names are full.

As long as they can achieve a passing performance, after the five-year term expires, those who do not commit adultery and violate the law will be promoted to two levels.

At that time, you can choose to return to your original place to take up public office, or you can choose to stay in the local area, or you can go to the central government and appoint another place. This is like a rabbit's cadres who aid Xinjiang and Tibet, who have worked hard for several years to be promoted, and after the news came out, there was a big earthquake in the entire Chen Han officialdom.

Wupin Guan, which is the dividing line of Chen Han's middle- and lower-level officials, is a local parent official, and is also the backbone of the ruling class of the imperial dynasty.

From the fifth product to two levels, that is the fourth product, that is, the boss of the house. In just five years, that's a blistering speed. Unless it is appreciated by the Son of Heaven, according to the 'rules of officialdom', one term is promoted, and it will take two terms, which is not a short five years.

This decision caused a shock throughout the officialdom. Many magistrates with no background and no background know very well that if a miracle does not happen, they will be a four- or five-grade life in their lives, just like Yue Wenhai at the beginning, since he sat on the seven-rank magistrate, people have been walking around in this position.

Want to climb up? Hardly!

And now, the imperial court wants to recruit low-level officials who voluntarily go to Nanmingzhou, but it gives these people a great opportunity.

With five years of hard work and hardship, is it worth it to have a better future and a higher status in the future?

Worth it absolutely! Absolute value!

For those who are still enterprising, for those who hesitate at the grassroots level year after year, this policy is equivalent to pie in the sky.

It's just that Nanmingzhou is thousands of miles away from the sea and far away from the homeland, and it is daunting to think about it, and many people have the heart to retreat.

Seriously, the reputation of Southern Mingzhou is nowhere near as good as that of North America right now.

Although the two sides are as far away as each other, and they are thousands of miles away from the mainland, everyone knows how lively North America is, and there are millions of people there, right? 'Barbarians' are also people, but what about Nanmingzhou?

Except for the kind of animals with long pockets on their bellies, there are not even a few savages in Nanmingzhou.

Although North America is far away, it is a land of civilization; Nanming Prefecture is also far away, but it is absolutely wild land.

However, there are still many people who have signed up, and they feel that this is a godsend, and they will regret it if they miss it. But there are also many people who feel that the same policy will be implemented in Xiangzhou and North America sooner or later, and it will not be too late to sign up for it themselves.

After Chen Ming had dealt with everything, he stood in front of the map of the Nanyang region, holding a long stick in his hand, and staring straight at Batavia......

"The time to annex the South Seas is just around the corner!"

This is the goal that Chen Ming has been thinking about for many years, he has been in reverie since the rebellion, and now it has finally been accomplished. His ambition is a real step forward.
