Jian Ning really wants to smoke Zhengde!

How can a dignified tomorrow have such a vision?! A few large provinces are satisfied?! That's Australia!

More than 7.6 million square kilometers!

But is it only Australia that Daming discovered? By no means! Those islands in the eyes of Da Ming are treasures in the eyes of Jian Ning!

New Zealand and Indonesia in later generations, if this can be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, let the Ming people take root here, even if Australia cannot be monopolized in the future, but at least it can hold the important waterway, so that Australia's latecomers are trapped here, forming an island chain surrounding, the meaning of which is only known by referring to what Uncle Sam did to China in later generations. Flash Dance

Daming has discovered these places, and the nautical charts are available, do those natives who are still bare-ass still have any strength to resist?! These people's calculations are too crude! That's the disadvantage of not being systematically educated!

She got out of bed with her clothes on, walked to Zhengde's side, pointed to the map, and said, "Look here, and here...... There are a chain of islands, and if we hold on to these places, Australia is in the bag. Our Ming Dynasty doesn't lack anything now, just lack people, and we need many, many people to occupy these places, as for those indigenous ......"

Jian Ning smiled coldly, "I think it's their luck to meet my Ming talents, if they meet Xiyi, I'm afraid they won't have much life." ”

Zhengde rubbed his hands and said: "These islands look not small, they have all been explored, they are self-sufficient, and there are many gold and silver mines, which are worth developing." ”

Zhengde's thinking has long been distorted by Jian Ning, and he is now thinking about the problem not to save face, but whether he can get any benefits.

After all, he used money to control the entire court of men, since a million taels of silver can solve the problem, why bother looking for another way? If one million taels is not enough, then add another million!

That's why silver is king!

"The merchant who led the team has some skills."

Zhengde praised again, "A mere businessman has such a ability. 35xs You see what it says, he wondered the native chiefs with food and silk, and entrusted them as guides, and then divided them, and hired them to build camps and open trade...... It only took half a year to ascend to the continent, and it attracted all the indigenous tribes in the vicinity. A large number of natives are cited to do menial work, although they have to pay for silk and porcelain, etc., but such things are not very unusual in my Ming Dynasty. They even cultivated the fields there, and also planted sugar cane, saying that they could squeeze sugar in a few years, and the climate there was very suitable for growing sugar cane...... What's even more interesting is that their winters are different from ours, when we're here in winter, they're in summer. And their winters and summers are very long, as if there are only two seasons a year, but fortunately, there is plenty of rain, and rice planting is good......

Jian Ning listened carefully, and secretly sighed in his heart: These businessmen are really lucky. groped across the river, but was not distorted by the current, and actually found Australia. Thinking about the letter she asked Xi'er to hand over to Hu Yanshu, she felt a little weak.

She got some maps drawn by the Portuguese from Yasan the Fire Man, and then added a lot of materials herself, and asked Hu Yanshu to spread "rumors" everywhere: Since Xiyi has proved that the place where we live is round, then there is a continent in the west, and there should be a continent on our side, and it can't be all oceans......

Her map was naturally drawn according to the map of later generations, and it was not exhaustive, and she did not have that memory, but the approximate location was still marked. By doing so, she hopes that someone will find Australia. After all, compared to the distant Americas, Australia is more reliable.

But although she hoped that a few stupid big men would go to Australia, she just thought about it. How could a comfortable farming people be so bold? But in fact, she underestimated the desire of civilians to get ahead in these years, and someone really went to look for it, and it was found, is it really God's eyes, is it going to give her a little sweetness as a traverser?

Thinking of this, my heart was also a little dark, and I was a little excited when I took a closer look at the twists and turns.

Australia is located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, spanning two climatic zones, 70 of which are arid or semi-arid, and most of the central part is unsuitable for human habitation, with desert areas alone reaching 20 percent of the continent, and in this dry land, only the coastal zone, especially the southeast coastal zone, is the most suitable for cultivation and habitation.

But judging from the nautical charts and maps drawn by these people, it is clear that they have reached the city of Darwin, which is a good place!

It has the conditions to become a large port, with only two seasons a year, a warm climate throughout the year, and many minerals, especially gold. Darwin's initial prosperity was fueled by gold mines. And there are a lot of iron ore there, and its high quality may make the Ming people crazy, if it is developed here, as a model project, Jian Ning has absolutely reason to believe that as long as the current policy is not extinguished, then the footsteps of the Chinese will immediately spread all over the continent, and even those islands on the side will not let go.

Thinking of this, he was excited, and said: "I have also dug up gold mines, and it seems that there are a lot of local minerals." In this way, we can dig and dig casually, and we have to send more people. The merchant and his companion should also be rewarded......"

"I'm just struggling with this."

Zhengde shook his head, "What was said to be good at the beginning, but now they have really done it, and it is such a large piece of land, is it right for me to let open a governor's mansion?" There's nothing wrong with making that person the governor, right? But now some people in the court have said, isn't it ridiculous that a businessman is the governor? I think they're ridiculous! Pointing fingers all day long, now that people have made achievements and say sour things, if my courtiers are like this, I don't have to live! ”

"The courtier's words are not unreasonable."

Jian Ning said: "But the governor has to let the meritorious people live in it, otherwise who will open up the territory for you in the future?" Not only to reward, but also to reward! It's not enough to be crowned governor, but also knighted! I can't be knighted as a pioneer of the Ming Dynasty, and my brother shouldn't be knighted either! The people who went out of the Ming Dynasty will only remember His Majesty's goodness, and will only remember who made them eat enough and have a good life! But whoever is willing to go out to cultivate farmland should be a permanent field, and no one else can take it! As for the ...... that the courtiers feared"

Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "The whip is beyond the reach of the whip!" Take it one step at a time! There are some things that can be left to the children and grandchildren to solve, what we can do now is to let the subjects live a good life! ”

"You're right."

Zhengde sighed, "Maybe in three generations, they will form a climate and no longer obey the imperial court, but what does it matter?" The population of Daming has skyrocketed in recent years, and if it continues like this, even if the output of potatoes and sweet potatoes doubles, I am afraid it will not be able to feed so many people. Wouldn't it be better for the people to find their own way in? In the end, it is enough to use my Chinese characters, still have my Chinese clothes, and know my Chinese etiquette......"

"What a spirit!"

Jainning applauded, "In this case, drink a drink!" ”

Zhengde laughed, "There is no wine at this time, but there is tea." However, if the beloved wife is interested, she can ask someone to serve wine and food, you and I have a few drinks to celebrate this joy! ”

"But it's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "Such a beautiful thing really has to be enjoyed by wine." ”

Ten days later, Zhang Bang, a businessman who found Australia, was summoned by the Son of Heaven and personally named the Ming Dynasty Imperial Governor of Oceania (Australia), leading the arrest of Yuanzhou (later Darwin City) by the civil affairs, and the other was named Haihou, and his subordinates were also rewarded. At the same time, the imperial court will also appoint officials as assistant officials and assist the chief officials as deputy governors.

In addition to this, the imperial court will also appoint a thousand households and a eunuch. These two men were the chief and deputy chiefs, and they led a team of 200 people to military assistance.

Oceania does everything cheaply, adapts measures to local conditions, and the two civil and military attachés must discuss everything. The results were then reviewed by six other civil officials and six military attachés appointed by the imperial court, and were conducted by voting, with the minority obeying the majority......

Such an alternative management method made some courtiers dumbfounded, and they couldn't say anything if they wanted to oppose it. After the incident, I felt that the current Son of Heaven was a little terrible. If this is used on them, will there be a good life?

This mutual supervision is the most fatal thing! Not to mention that there are 12 voters watching from the sidelines, aren't these people just like the imperial envoys?! Your Majesty's move is so ruthless!

If you want power not to be over-inflated, then the best result is to divide it. Those tricks of later generations are best used on these Ming people, especially in the matter of digesting Australia!

Jian Ning is not as big-minded as Zhengde, and people who have not experienced the darkness of China for a hundred years will not understand that kind of pain! Australia, which took all the effort to find, why should it split up again?! There is not too much land, and we must work hard for future generations, so that they can have more opportunities to breathe!

To put it mildly, if it's really bad, there will be more capital to lose, right?

Putting aside the thoughts of the courtiers in the court, the people are boiling at the moment.

Although there have been people who have been sealed for finding a new island before, but what kind of officials are they? It's just a name! As for the title, don't even think about it! But now this businessman named Zhang Bang has actually become the governor of the capital, not to mention, and has become the Hou Ye?! Oh my God, this is the smoke coming from the ancestral tomb!

Let's go to sea! Didn't the Son of Heaven say it, Oceania is very big, if someone is willing to go over, if a city can be built, it can also be crowned the governor of a state! What are you waiting for?! The New World is hard to find, but what are we Han people best at?! It's farming!

Immediately gather craftsmen and farmers, give money to the fields, pay for settling-in, and go to sea to make a fortune!

Once the field is reclaimed, it will always be its own, this is promised by the imperial court, and those who are not officials dare not think about it, but where are we not farming with hoes?

A group of free people with a large family and few fields were moved. Thinking about the big scar of the dead bowl, just let it out! Although the days of Daming are much better now, there will never be a shortage of recruits in the city, but I think I have to have a piece of land to feel at ease!

There are so many sons in the family, what are you afraid of when you go out one or two? Even if you die, there's no pity! In these years, grain and land are worth a lot! Life? That's the least valuable!
