"The old man is ashamed." Xu Bin got up and apologized to Huang Xiaoyang.

Li Bing also bowed his hand a little embarrassed: "Student Meng Lang." ”

Huang Xiaoyang returned the salute again and again, but his mouth said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" I haven't read a book......"

"What Ayang just said, go on." Ding Yi taught everyone to sit down and encouraged Huang Xiaoyang.

"I'll tell you. The American ghost is good, and the two IKEAs live well, maybe you can't get it, it's okay! Over there in the Northeast, the Jurchens are as poor as ghosts! Even if I am concerned, I have heard from the soldiers from the grassland, there are many herdsmen, so poor ghosts! I went to recruit people, train them, and match them with a pistol or arquebus, and the cost was not too big, and I told them that if I could fight it, I would tie it to their territory and pay taxes! If you recruit a foreign legion, you will first use cold weapons to take the lead; The new army is released behind the ......"

What he said was the division of troops.

Use the foreign army to conquer first, and if it encounters resistance, then go to the new army to attack the fortification, this is nothing new.

Mainly, he put forward the concept of the reclamation regiment, that is, to recruit low-level people in China, and then form a reclamation regiment, give them certain training, and ration certain weapons.

This has a certain feasibility, Ding nodded and said to Liu Ji: "You go down and discuss this matter with your adoptive uncle, and make a charter." ”

"The disciple wrote it down." Liu Ji got a new messenger, but he was more happy.

Often corrupt officials and traitors are workaholics, not workaholics, how can they grasp power? If you don't hold power in your hands, rent-seeking behavior won't have his share, right? has a new errand, for Liu Ji, it is better than Ding rewarding him with anything.

Ding Yi put forward a new topic: "The problem of iron ore shortage." Let's talk about it. ”

Because the texture of the iron ore in Europe is very bad.

There should be ore on the Ottoman side. In this case, don't say whether the Ottomans are willing to export the ore to Ding Yi. Even if he was willing, Ding Yi wouldn't dare to ask for it! This is a war resource, how can it be pinched in the hands of others? If the Ottomans were a small country, they were at the beginning of a glorious journey.

Du Mu, who was allowed to attend, had been dipping the chair on the edge of his buttocks, and seeing that everyone didn't speak, he quickly got up and saluted Ding and then everyone present. Fang Cai said: "Xiaguan received a letter from Huaxia a few days ago, it is said that the iron mine mentioned by His Royal Highness a few years ago has been found in Qiongzhou, and the coal mine on Dayuan's side has also developed. ”

Qiongzhou is Hainan Island, and he is not talking about Shilu iron ore, but Tiandu iron ore.

Of course, Shiroku is a good mine. The reserves of hundreds of millions of ores are more than 50% grade, and the grade of high-quality ore even reaches 69%.

But it's not that there are mines, and Ding Yi can handle it. None of the large steam engines had been developed, let alone winches, conveyor belts, minecarts, etc., if they were too deep above the surface. With Ding Yi's current industrial base, there is no way to do it. Don't say mined.

Even if he knew about the mine, he could only tremble and say: That's really good!

Tiandu Iron Mine is different. Although the reserves are far inferior to Shiroku, only a few million tons. But not only is the average grade around 60 percent, which is higher than the average level of Shilu, but it is more important and crucial: it is easy to mine!

It's only about 20 meters deep from the surface, and it's very close to the coastline!

After passing through Hongtukan Village from Tiandu Town, you can carry out sea transportation, which is not an ordinary good transportation.

"Try not to fight the idea of Huaxia soil." Ding Yi shook his head and vetoed Du Mu's suggestion.

"Not only is shipping extremely expensive, but we always have to leave some resources for future generations, everything is tossed in our lifetime, so what are we doing to open up overseas territories?"

"In the name of the Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas, I wrote to the Ministry of Industry that the domestic mineral deposits, although they should not be developed too much, it is best to send people out overseas to explore and mine."

Ding paused for a while, and waited for Cao Jixiang to serve a round of tea, before he pointed his hand to the map and said: "Over there, I remember that there is information that there is iron ore and billions of tons of reserves. He was referring to Guinea, where it is located, with iron ore reserves of 7 billion tonnes and a grade of 70 percent. Ding Yi also remembers that there are a lot of diamond reserves. In addition, the abundance of hydraulic resources is very advantageous to the industrial sector of the Metropolitan Government of the Four Seas, which has begun to enter the research of hydroelectric power generation after the development of hydraulic transmission mechanisms to a certain extent.

The reason why Ding Yi remembered this place was because in later generations, a state-owned enterprise bought forty percent of the shares there, so Ding Yi remembered this.

But it's too far, whether it's along the Arabian Sea or through the Guò Suez Canal, it's too far, not much closer than from Hainan Island in China to Egypt.

"First brother, I'll take the troops, anyway, the soldiers and horses of Mamluk over there haven't surrendered yet, chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy, in terms of righteousness, it's all reasonable!" Huang Xiaoyang got up excitedly and said, and he was probably addicted to watching others lead troops to fight, "I'll use the Marine Corps, first brother, if you don't send a new army, the Marine Corps will do it!" "It is said that the Marine Brigade is not a new army drill code.

Ding Yi looked left and right, Li Bing and Wan An were both extremely smart people, and immediately got up and said, "I am willing to serve the Lord and the Lord!" "Disciple, please run for Mr. "Of course, Huang Xiaoyang has no problem laying down there, but he always has to organize local people to mine or something, and govern a place, it is not Huang Xiaoyang's director.

"This place is not self-sufficient in food, and it is not so easy to manage a large number of people to open mines." Ding Yi waved his hand to teach the two of them to sit down, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, shook his head and said, "This is something, it has to be discussed, I hate meetings, or kill people!" ”

Everyone on the side subconsciously didn't look over, because they were afraid that they would really laugh out loud when they looked at Ding Yi's expression.

Li Bing got up and said, or a little more image, and got up and sprayed: "The lord's words are wrong!" ”

"Yes, yes! It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't be addicted to martial arts, I introspect. Come on, let's talk again, Lao Cao, go and invite Morena and Xing'an over. "Ding Yi is afraid of Li Bing's house, this product is really more difficult than Li Xian, Li Xian sprays Yingzong, and he knows what to spray and when to stop, look at Tianshun Dynasty, how many times did Li Xian spray? I didn't squirt anything, but the more I sprayed, the more I was sprayed, and I sprayed all the way to the position of the first assistant.

Li Bing is different, spraying to cut his job, spraying to the guilt, it can be seen that there are many people who spray this guy and are not artistic? And it's a wild spray, I don't know when to stop the role, spray until he was dismissed, and he doesn't absorb the lesson when he gets back, and he sprays people all around. There is talent, but as soon as he turned on the troll mode, Ding Yi really took it right away.

Morena and Xing'an soon arrived, Ding Yi taught them to sit down, just looking at the jade man, Ding Yi had a few lingering wisps of discomfort in his heart, because she was no longer the Mo Rena who sat on her side and let Ding Yi pill on her lap, she was the pharaoh of Egypt, and Ding Yi summoned him and came for the country.

However, Ding Yi was still able to control his feelings, coughed clearly, and said to Morena: "I want to rely on this place, but there is no food here, and I must prepare grain and grass in Egypt, what do you want?" "He is treating Morena as a subordinate official, the Ming army needs food, it is a long-term matter, not a hammer to sell, naturally ask the meaning of the Egyptian ruler.

Mo Rena didn't nod rashly, she thought about it, bowed her head and exchanged a few words with Xing'an before getting up and saying: "Great Highness, this is the glory of Mo Rena, and the glory of the Egyptians. Having said that, she then put forward the conditions, pointing to the Nile River, the Aswan region said, "The Ming Foreign Legion is still stationed here, I don't know when the defense will be handed over?" ”

"When do you want to hand over defense?" Ding tilted his head to look at Morena, and played with the black glazed porcelain cup in his hand with interest, "Today? Or tomorrow? Just say it. ”

"The Great Highness ......"

Ding Yi shook his head and raised his hand to stop her words: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't say anything back." ”

"You have also followed me to Korea and the Wa country, garrison the army, the country has to pay military expenses for this, otherwise, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty have to raise troops for the subject country in vain? If this is the case, Egypt's taxes should be paid to the Ming Household Department every year. ”

"You don't mention it, I forgot about it, just when you mentioned it, you make a list of these things, if you don't need a garrison, I will order the withdrawal immediately, you know, what I'm worried about now is that there are not enough troops, and there will definitely be no more soldiers."

"If you feel that you still need to garrison the Ming Dynasty, then how much military spending can be paid to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas in a year is also listed."

After saying that, Ding Yi instructed Liu Tie: "In this way, you will supervise it, including how to transport the military expenses back to Daming and so on." ”

Of course, it is impossible for military funds to be paid directly to the garrison, otherwise wouldn't it be that after two years, the Egyptian troops would have become warlords? Naturally, it will be handed over to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, and then deducted the consumption of sea transportation, etc., and pay a proportion to the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Beijing Division; And the food and salary are then transferred from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Household Department.

"Okay, the amount of food needed each year will be negotiated by the Staff Office of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas and the relevant officials under you, so let's step down."

Morena looked very pale, and saluted Ding and his party in some panic, if it wasn't for Xing'an reminding her, she wouldn't know where to go. In fact, if it weren't for the garrison of the Ming Dynasty, would she be able to suppress those Mamluks? This is a very strict question, will she be killed by a palace coup like her ancestors?

In fact, Xing'an reminded her just now not to mention this matter.

But Morena is not alone, she has been raised as a queen since she was a child.

In Egypt, she also has cronies, henchmen, and forces to resettle.

She thought that maybe Ding Yi would be happy and give her the black division stationed in Aswan.

It's like giving her back the blue crown on the day she ascends the throne. (To be continued......)
