"This is the cornerstone of the empire!"

One hundred and fifty miles northwest of Jincheng, the capital of Eastern Jinzhou, Emperor Yang, under the escort of a large group of officials and attendants, stood in a busy mine and looked at the slaves who were busy like ants in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is a gold mine.

At present, Daming has the highest production of gold mines.

With the hard work of more than 30,000 workers and slaves here, this gold mine added a full 200 tons of gold to the vault of the Daming Golden State Colonization Company and the Ming Imperial Bank last year, and the vault of the Imperial Bank also maintains the credibility of the Dragon Yuan banknote, the credibility of the Dragon Yuan banknote, ensuring the order of the Ming economy, in this sense, this is indeed the cornerstone of the empire, of course, not only this gold mine, all the gold and silver mines operated by the royal family are an integral part of the cornerstone of the empire.

"But it's hard to increase production here."

Duan Yu said.

He has retired from the position of director of the Golden State Colonization Company, but he is still the governor of the East Golden State, in fact, his family has already moved here, and even many of his people have immigrated to the East Golden State, and the East Golden State has been upgraded from a frontier province to a formal province at this time. Although there are still many natives in the East Golden State, after so many years of tossing, the total number of those natives has not exceeded 300,000, not even 30 percent of the total population, and slaves are not counted in the population, so the proportion of 60 percent of the Chinese people has finally reached. That is to say, he is the governor of the local self-selected candidates, and then interviewed by His Majesty the Emperor, of course, in fact, by His Royal Highness the Prince, Emperor Yang has long stopped caring about this matter, poor Prince is just in his early twenties, so he has to give him, an unscrupulous old man, a cow and a horse, while he is all over the world and happy.

"It's not a big deal, the East Golden State is finished and the West Golden State is finished."

Yang Feng said.

The Melbourne gold mine is not a mega mine, it is just an early sign of the era of super gold mines, but it is far more than Kalgoorlie and Glasberg, not to mention the domineering side leakage of South Africa. But it wasn't a big deal for him, the mission of the gold mine was accomplished, and its legend attracted hundreds of thousands of immigrants to the land, who have multiplied to nearly a million to date, cultivating farms here to graze cattle and sheep and even set up factories, their roots have taken root in this rich land, and they no longer want to leave.

They turned the original historical Australia into the Golden State of the Ming Empire, and they made this historical paradise of white people into the home of the Han people.

That's enough.

It is said that the people of Jinzhou are now the same as the white Australians in the original history, and they are rejecting all whites other than slaves, insisting on the orthodoxy of the Chinese people in this land, even if they are subjects of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are not Chinese and slaves, they are not allowed to immigrate here, which even caused the protests of the monarchs of several subject countries in Nanyang to the cabinet, but there is nothing the cabinet can do about it, after all, the governor is elected by the local government, and the prime minister cannot force him to do anything.

Of course, in fact, everyone understands that this must be acquiesced by the emperor.

After all, there are too many good things in Golden State, and it is impossible to share these good things with others, not only the gold mine, but also the equally amazing giant silver mine in the north, which is all related to the Ming Dynasty.

"The output of the West Golden State is estimated to be more than here next year, and the reserves of the gold mine are much larger than here, it is estimated that even if the annual output of two hundred tons is maintained, it will take a hundred tons of mining time, but the most valuable thing on this continent is not gold, nor silver, but steel, and a prospecting team of the company has just discovered an iron ore mine in the West Golden State, because it has not yet been determined, and all the ministers have not yet reported it."

Lao Duan said with some excitement.

"Iron ore, how many reserves?"

Yang Feng asked.

"It is immeasurable, and our prospecting team cannot give an exact number, because the number is higher than they imagined, according to their estimates, our current ore consumption in our country will not be used up for a thousand years, the only problem is that it belongs to the arid wasteland in the north of the West Golden State, and the early supporting construction required is more troublesome, and there is also a problem with sea transportation."

Lao Duan said.

"Then don't worry, the things on our land can't run."

Yang Feng said.

He really does not have the need to develop the Pilbara iron ore now, Daming iron and steel production has just exceeded 10 million tons, there is no pressure of iron ore, not to mention the iron ore in Southeast Asia and India, it is estimated that it will take another 50 years to develop the Pilbara iron ore mine, there is no need to rush to develop, as he said that the things on his land can not run.

Just then, a carriage stopped not far away.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift from your ministers to Your Majesty!"

Lao Duan said with a smile.

Immediately after that, he walked to the carriage and lifted a piece of red cloth on the carriage, and the golden light immediately shone underneath, and a huge dog-headed gold was impressively displayed in front of Yang Feng.

"Your Majesty, this piece of dog's head gold weighs more than a hundred catties, and it was just discovered by the miners not long ago."

Lao Duan said.

"Accept it, and reward the miner with the same value of dragon yuan."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"Well, Your Majesty, the miner is a slave."

Lao Duan said.

"Has he converted to Wanghua?"

"Yes, this slave is a devout believer in the Holy Religion, and he has always believed that the gods blessed him to discover this."

"Then dissolve the slavery, and then reward him with the same value of Long Yuan."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, the cabinet's inspection of the Wa Kingdom had ended, and the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom under the control of Tokugawa was directly deposed as commoners, and after consultation, they were moved to the interior of the Ming Dynasty as subjects, and all the Shinto temples in various parts of the Wa Kingdom were converted into shrines, including Amaterasu, all the messy statues and such items were burned and smashed, and then replaced with various Daming statues led by Yang Feng. Originally, all the Shinto monks were forced to return to the world, or after being trained by Taichang Temple, they became holy priests and then reinstated, in short, they completed the complete de-nationalization, and even Japanese and Japanese were no longer used as legal scripts and languages, and all the Japanese people under the control of the Tokugawa spoke Chinese and wrote Chinese characters, and even their surnames were changed to Chinese surnames.

Of course, it was only under the control of the Tokugawa, that is, the area in the central part of the island of Honshu with Edo and Nagoya as the core, and the rest of the north and south belonged to the Shimazu and Date families, which were still sinking in ignorance and darkness.

Similarly, Daming is also making corresponding adjustments.

The main thing is to reshape the outlook on life and values of the people of the Japanese country, for example, not long ago in Shannan for the Ming Dynasty sacrificed his life at this time was being molded as a hero, and in Edo to build a monument for him, and even Tokugawa Yoshimune personally presided over his worship, and now there is a Japanese slave relying on the guidance of the oracle to find this huge piece of dog head gold, from then on to get rid of the slave and become a tall and handsome legend, it is undoubtedly a very good gimmick, but also let the millions of Japanese slaves of the Ming Dynasty see the hope to generate motivation, more diligent blood and sweat for the Ming Dynasty, Maybe you'll be the next lucky one!

Go for it! Being a slave is also very honorable and promising.

Well, that's what it looks like.

With this huge piece of dog's head gold weighing one hundred and ten pounds, and by the way, he took a few thylacines or something, and then His Majesty the Emperor left Jincheng Port and went to the next stop, Xijinzhou, took a stroll on the shore of Swan Lake, and took away a few black swans by the way, and then left Xijinzhou and crossed the Indian Ocean to reach Zhaonan Province, at this time the Zhaonan garrison had already begun to launch an invasion of Madagascar.

The emperor said that they should go to Madagascar to find elephants and birds.

But the Kingdom of Imalina in Madagascar will definitely not allow them to land, since of course it will be fought, the emperor's will cannot be sloppy, and the Zhaonan garrison is also idle, and it is urgent to find a place to vent their excess energy, although the island of Madagascar is not a rich place, but there are the most popular things of the Ming Dynasty......

High-grade wood.

Especially golden sandalwood.

This is enough for those Ming colonists to start a war, anyway, it is nothing more than the death of a hundred and eighty soldiers, and then you can make a steady stream of wealth, before there was no excuse, but now it is enough to do things for the emperor, saying that at this time, those Ming army generals stationed abroad and those colonists are already very slippery to play this, and even those colonists themselves often organize mercenaries and then go out to rob, and then they return with a full load, if they suffer losses, such as a few dead people, Then it's time for the Ming army to kill the door aggressively and ask for compensation.

In short, the colonists are all the same.

Originally, the bad things done by the European colonists in history, at this time, the colonists of the Ming Dynasty did the same, and such large-scale invasions were even more dreamed of.

A brigade of Ming troops landed in western Madagascar, along with dozens of slave traders who were full of fierce loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, as well as hundreds of Ming militants and tens of thousands of mercenaries from subject countries, and attacked Antananarivo with murderous violation. Anyway, at this time, the Malagasy people still have big knives and spears, arquebuses are considered good things, they have only bought some smoothbore guns in the past few years, and they are basically still in the era of tribal arming, how can such an army fight against the Ming army equipped with heavy machine guns, not to mention that there are 10,000 accomplices?

The few battles between the two sides were completely one-sided, and just as Yang Feng's Great Eastern sailed into Zhaonan Harbor, this army had already begun to carry out bloody slaughter in this famous city of Muslin in Africa, and even the hapless king of Madagascar was hanged by them on a rope.

"In that case, let's take it!"

Yang Feng said a little speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, is it a subject country or a province?"

Zhao Nan Jing made Yang An ask cautiously.

"Didn't their king be hanged by you?"

"Your Majesty, this is not the only king there, in fact he is only one of the most powerful forces on this island, and there are several small countries that are at war with them, and the minister thinks that he can support these people and let them deal with the Imelna."

"They're all, aren't they?"

Yang Feng said.

are not eligible to become subjects, they are just uncivilized savages.

"No, no, Your Majesty, they are not, of course they are also very dark, but that is only after living in this place for a long time, you see that the minister has been here for less than three years, and it is much darker than before, in fact, they are more like the natives in the area south of the town, but they are slightly darker than the people there, but they are very close in appearance and language, which is completely different from."

Yang An said.

"In this case, then you can do it, if they are willing to convert to Wanghua, I will definitely not spare a few foreign feudal titles, and we can get a few more ports as direct subordinates, anyway, there is not much value there, and it is not worth wasting troops to conquer."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Honor."

Yang An hurriedly said.

The military is keen on war just to go out and rob, this time the attack on Antanarivo has made them gain a lot, of course, there is no interest in stationing there and entangled with the hateful natives, and those merchants want sandalwood full of forests, this can also be solved by supporting those little kings, so the fate of the island of Madagascar was decided, and soon several small kings chose to submit very wisely, and then met Yang Feng to receive a foreign domain title each, and then began to divide the land of the original Kingdom of Imelina.

The Ming merchants happily followed them, buying their prisoners of war as slaves and selling them weapons to continue the war.

"It's full of routines!"

Emperor Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Indeed, more than 20 years of colonial career has made these Ming colonists play a routine, first find excuses to disrupt the order of the target and loot it to the maximum extent, and then provoke all forces to fight, relying on their wars to extract their wealth to the maximum, as for the result......

Who cares about the outcome?

There is a process, the process is the most important, the process is wealth, slaves, treasures, resources, this is the most important thing.

However, this is also the result of his words and deeds, it can be said that those ferocious, greedy and cunning colonists of the Ming Dynasty did everything to learn from His Majesty the Emperor, and it was he, the teacher, who tirelessly turned a nation full of virtues full of virtues by reading the books of sages into this, into a nightmare for all other countries and nations.

"Alas, what a sin!"

Emperor Yang continued to sigh.

"Your Majesty, I found it!"

Major Ye ran in excitedly and shouted.

"Uh, what did you find?"

Yang Feng said blankly.

"The giant bird you were talking about, the one that you said was looking for on the island of Madagascar that is bigger than a moa, they found it there, and they have caught it, and it is being shipped to the port, and it is estimated that it will be here in a few days."

"Well, there really is."

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"In addition, they have sent you a lot of very small monkeys, and it is said that even adults are not as big as their fists!"

Ye Bei said excitedly.

Well, they've got the finger monkeys here too.
