There are really a lot of treasures brought back by the three Mingzhou expedition ships, but they are not just 100,000 catties of gold of low purity.

Of course, gold is always the most eye-catching. As soon as Chen Dexing heard that the Mingzhou expedition ship had brought back gold, he immediately asked someone to recruit the proprietors or shopkeepers of the top ten trading houses on Zhoushan Island (excluding Tiandaozhuang), and also called the members of the Shenjiamen City Council to come and see the gold together!

Qu Huajie, the treasurer of Tiandaozhuang, then arrived, along with a whole regiment of guards and dozens of four-wheeled carriages - they were here to transport gold, and all the gold, including the gold belonging to the expedition members, would be transported to the treasury of Tiandaozhuang for storage, and then refined and minted into usable gold coins. The gold coins belonging to the expedition members will be issued with the corresponding certificates of deposit.

Chen Dexing has long wanted to issue gold coins and silver coins to partially replace copper coins. The patterns and molds for the gold and silver coins have long been made. Both gold and silver coins are alloys, and the content of gold and silver is controlled at two-thirds. The mold is a steel mold, which is made by hot rolling and pressing, and the rolling mold is driven by a water wheel. The machinery for minting coins has been designed by Minto University, and a set of equipment can produce 1,000 gold and silver coins per day. There were just not enough gold and silver reserves, so the mint never opened.

Now that there is an extra 100,000 gold with a purity of about 60%, and a large silver mine has been discovered in Mingzhou, the plan to mint gold and silver coins should start soon.

Moreover, there is another advantage of so much gold, that is, it can re-establish the credibility of the Heavenly Dao Ticket - because of the fake Heavenly Dao Ticket incident, the issuance of the Heavenly Dao Ticket can be regarded as a setback. Now Qu Fatzi has asked people to print tens of thousands of parchment Tiandao tickets, with a face value of hundreds of thousands. But hesitant to release it. Now there are 100,000 catties of gold shipped from Mingzhou. What reason is there for this Heavenly Dao ticket not to be successfully issued?

Chen Dexing came with a bunch of wealthy businessmen and parliamentarians, just to let them see the gold - what kind of people are these guys! Will gold and copper be wrong? And Chen Dexing also allowed them to touch and bite with their teeth. Until they know they're sure it's real gold!

Gold is certainly real! The Mexicans and Mayans didn't know how to smelt copper, and they didn't have the skills to forge them.

These wealthy businessmen and the councilors of Shenjiamen City inspected the piles of gold like mountains. Naturally, there was only shock left in my heart. 100,000 gold!

The Mingzhou Continent not only really exists, but it is also the land of gold and silver! Such a good territory, but there is no owner to defend, and it was conquered effortlessly by the Ming Dynasty......

What does this mean? This shows that Chen Dexing is a real immortal! Is it true that King Ming came into the world...... The gold is going to be piled up, who dares to say that it is fake?

"Really, it's real gold, it's all real gold!" The patriarch of the Shen family, who is also the richest man in the Shen family's store, suddenly screamed at this time and fell at Chen Dexing's feet. Bow again and again.

"Sage, sage, you are really the king of Ming! Old man, old man really believed! You are a god, you are a true god......"

It was as if the words had reached the hearts of the people. There are many Heavenly Daoists here in Zhoushan, and the Heavenly Taoist Sect can receive many donations every year. But there are not many people who really believe - Putuo Mountain on the other side of Shenjiamen, but the incense is still prosperous! The big guys enter the way of heaven, in fact, they are all for profit, and no one takes it seriously.

But now. Chen Dexing used troops in Jiangnan and was just short of money, and 100,000 catties of gold appeared like a trick! Isn't this too one-god helping? Who would be so lucky without God's help?

And the Mingzhou Continent, which is said to be twenty or thirty times larger than the Great Song Dynasty, obviously really exists!

Chen Dexing's early prediction was not wrong at all!

What's even more shocking. Such a continent full of gold seems to have been conquered by an expedition of several hundred people, and the natives there seem to have become slaves of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Not only did he hand over so much gold, but he also helped steer the ship.

This is clearly the work of the One God! This Taiyi God is not only a true immortal. And it works abnormally! This is an immortal who is willing to help, who wants to believe it anymore. That's stupidity, it's just that you can't get along with gold.

……

How do these guys who are blinded by gold know that in addition to gold, the crops transported back from Mingzhou are no less than treasures. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are all high-yielding food crops. In particular, sweet potatoes have strong adaptability to the land and are known as landless. The yield is said to be extremely high, and the Chinese population in history swelled to 400 million in the Qing Dynasty, and the credit of this sweet potato cannot be ignored!

For an emperor like Chen Dexing, sweet potatoes can undoubtedly increase the stability of the country, which is naturally a treasure. Of course, sweet potatoes cannot be called sweet potatoes in this time and space, but should be called "Ming potatoes", which is a treasure given to King Ming by the Taiyi God......

In addition to Ming Potato, the Ming Zhou expedition also brought back a large number of strange agricultural products such as cocoa beans, corn, Ming Zhou cotton, coca tree seeds, and tobacco. Among them, cocoa beans, corn and cotton certainly have value in promoting cultivation.

As for coca and tobacco, they should not be planted for the time being, and Chen Dexing does not smoke in his past and present lives, let alone take medicine.

And outside of gold and crops, the most unexpected treasures are the Indians!

Yes, it's the Indians! And they are also Indians who have been fooled and stupid by the superstitions of the Heavenly Taoism!

Zhou Xiaoqi brought back more than one hundred and forty, including one hundred and forty-two men and a young woman.

The young woman turned out to be an Aztec, supposedly noble, named Merica, a gift from the conquered Aztecs to the One God.

As for the men, they are all sailors of the Jinshan Indian tribe - they are the legendary Indian Eight Bannermen!

Hearing this strange name, Chen Dexing didn't laugh out loud.

But when he heard that Zhou Xiaoqi, Meng Qi, Yang Guo, oh, and Wen Tianxiang, these great navigators and adventurers, cruel villains, genius colonists, relying on hot air balloons, cannons and wine, "educated" more than 10,000 Indian Eight Banner soldiers, and used them to conquer the Mexica Valley (Chen Dexing guessed that it should be central Mexico), and then used the Aztec Green Battalion recruited from the Mexica Valley to subdue the Maya. I also have to admire the skills of these guys...... Relying on hundreds of people and a dozen cannons, and more than 1,000 Japanese ribs, they actually conquered half of the continent!

Now they have as many as five cities, namely Jinshan City, Yinshan Port, Shenzhou City, Zamache, and Chichen Itza City. More than 200,000 Native Americans were available.

This was an immeasurable fortune for Tran's colonial plans!

Colonization is not as simple as emptying the population of the colony and then sending one's own people there.

Not to mention how many immigrants will be damaged by the ups and downs along the way, how to survive in the New World alone is a big problem. There is no ripe land, no cultivated land, no suitable crops, and no safe stronghold. Everything has to start from scratch, and it is difficult to get too much support from the mother country thousands of miles away.

But now Zhou Xiaoqi, Meng Qi, and Wen Tianxiang have conquered hundreds of thousands of people with just a few hundred people! Several cities were also built. In this way, immigrants from the Ming Dynasty don't have to worry about food and where to stay.

"Good! Good! Great merit, all great merit! Zhou Xiaoqi, Meng Qi, Yang Aguo, and Wen Tianxiang can all be crowned marquis, feudal marquis, split the earth and Mingzhou, hereditary recklessness! ”

In the Zhoushan Xingyuan Palace, a feast has been placed. Chen Dexing is picking up the wind and washing the dust for the warriors who have returned from Mingzhou! Not only Zhou Xiaoqi and other Han people who returned sat upright in the hall. Even the Eight Banners of India, who came with them, set up tents in the garden outside the main hall and gave them food and drink. The Aztec girl sat cross-legged behind a low table in the corner of the main hall, staring at the table of food and wine in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chen Dexing was laughing heartily, and he sealed out the four princes in one breath, and even Wen Tianxiang, who didn't know how to be a master at all, was named a marquis.

This is a lot of money! With these princes and princes, and the gold and silver mountains of Mingzhou, the people of China will definitely set their sights thousands of miles away.

Chen Huaiqing and Otani Xiaoai also accompanied them in the main hall, listening to Zhou Xiaoqi's narration of how they opened up on the Mingzhou Continent, how they deceived the natives, how they established the Eight Indian Banners, how they swept the Mexika Valley, how they subdued the Maya, and how they looted more than 100,000 catties of gold. The two of them, as well as the other accompanying guests in the hall, all opened their mouths wide, with expressions of both yearning and disbelief.

Thousands of miles away, there is such fertile soil, and it is so easy to suppress!

What Indians, Mexicans, Mayans, they don't even have bronze vessels, they don't even know how to make wheels, what's the difference between fighting with them and bullying children?

There is such a good thing in the world, and Chen Dexing actually met it. How do you look at this, it looks like God is blessing Chen Dexing! This one, I'm afraid that it is really the Ming King who came into the world, right?

"Xiao Qi," Chen Dexing suddenly looked at Zhou Xiaoqi seriously at this time, "I now make you the Marquis of Zama, the Governor of Northeast Mingzhou, with Zama City as the foundation, go north along the Mayan coast, and establish a stronghold along the coast of Northeast Mingzhou. You will rest for a few months, and when the Third Mingzhou Expedition is formed, you will set off for the east. Third, the size of the Mingzhou expedition will be twenty times larger than before! ”

The first two Mingzhou expeditions only sent more than 200 people, and this time Chen Dexing planned to send 4,000 people. There were not only men, but also women, who went to the New World to multiply. As for who to find, Chen Dexing also has a plan. One of them is the sergeant soldiers, who want to be single and have no worries, and then give them a wife to be sent to Mingzhou together; The second is the merchant, who gave the major wealthy merchant families a license to invent gold mining in the continent, on the condition that they bear all the costs, and also find women for the soldiers, which must be women in their clan - if you want gold, you must pay the price; The third, of course, is the military household.
