Zhu Hao also knew that if Mingren stayed overseas and couldn't see his parents, wives and children at home for a long time, something would happen sooner or later.

Now it's just a matter of brainwashing people with the goals set when they went to sea, so that the Ming people in the New World can see almost endless gold and silver, take more benefits, and even find indigenous women for them to soothe their loneliness, but if the homesickness and homesickness are not resolved, sooner or later there will be a general outbreak.

The most unacceptable thing for Zhu Hao now is that there is chaos within the Ming people.

It can be said that the only people who have the opportunity to challenge his dream of conquering the world are not European colonizers or the Inca Empire, but the so-called descendants brought out by him from the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Hao's plan is to transport 10 million taels of silver back to Daming, and redeem these people's families to Zhu Si, when Zhu Hao only needs to go up and say that there are many silver mines in the New World, and they urgently need to be mined by manpower, and they want to come to Jiajing's greed for money, maybe they will open the door to convenience, but it is estimated that the time will send the minister to follow the fleet to the New World, and order Zhu Hao to return to Daming as soon as possible.

Of course, the families of these Ming people may not be willing to take a boat for a long time and cross the ocean to the American continent, so they need to be resettled in places close to the Ming Dynasty, such as Dongfan Island, which is across the strait from Pinghai, Yongning, and Zhenhai Zhuwei, as well as the Nanyang Islands.

Of course, those family members who are willing to take the risk of crossing the ocean will definitely satisfy them, and even if it is difficult, they will be sent back to the New World safely.

In fact, there is still a problem, the object of the loyalty of the Ming official army is the son of the Zhu family, one day Zhu Hao wants to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Ming army under his command will immediately turn against each other, in this case, it is basically impossible for him to take the Ming army back to East Asia in the future, which is also what he needs to consider in advance.

After Lou Suzhen arrived in SF City, she handed over the account book of the Northern New City she brought with her to Zhu Hao.

"In the past year, a large amount of silver has been mined and searched from the local soil, and the storage of those that have been distributed to the soldiers and craftsmen of the army should be more than 20 million taels, and the condition is very good. The gold is less, only about one million taels, but if it is shipped back to the Ming Dynasty...... Absolutely astronomical. ”

Lou Suzhen also seemed to support Zhu Hao's ransom plan, and began to calculate how much silver was most appropriate to spend on ransom.

Zhu Hao nodded: "The silver obtained here is also about 20 million taels, and we have strictly forbidden the circulation of silver in the jurisdiction, which means that silver cannot obtain more materials from official channels, only the use of gold and the treasure money we printed." ”

In the American continent, silver was a rampant currency, and if the silver standard were to be introduced, there would be many practical problems, starting with the fact that the people of the Inca Empire would take what they thought was readily available and exchange them from the official shops for some in-demand goods that they had never seen before, which could have been exchanged for more supplies.

Although Zhu Hao's subordinates also mined silver on a large scale, silver could not be circulated in the market.

Zhu Hao is gold, banknotes as the official currency, close to the gold standard, but because of the different fineness of gold, it is not easy to negotiate, at present the main thing is to forcibly promote the circulation of banknotes, fortunately by Zhu Hao invented the printing technology to make banknotes, not to mention the inhabitants of the Inca Empire, even the current Europe can not be imitated, the use of various anti-counterfeiting technologies, fully guarantee the authority of banknotes.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Su Xigui has accumulated some experience in promoting silver tickets and other banknotes with Zhu Hao in Daming a few years ago.

Lou Suzhen said: "For my Ming soldiers, silver has always been a precious metal that can be exchanged for land, real estate, grain and other things on the land of China, but I am afraid that the ban of the son cannot be implemented, and there will always be circulation channels in private." ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "Then you need to make the people of Daming lose interest in silver." They have more silver in their hands, and they have nowhere to spend it, so they will gradually feel worthless...... Compared to carrying around heavy silver ingots, banknotes are lighter and more convenient to use. ”

If Zhu Hao wants to implement a new currency in the country he created, he will inevitably encounter some trouble.

The first is that the Incas are not familiar with paper money, they don't know how to keep it, and with the roughness of their lives, paper money is more likely to break, and they will think that the Ming are hurting them.

As for gold, the production of gold in South America is also quite limited, so there is no need to worry about depreciation.

At the beginning of the implementation of paper money, it inevitably involved the exchange of silver and commodities, which made SF City, Mining City, Coal City and Tucheng and other places, the busiest place is the coin exchange, often Zhu Hao in the official name to buy local indigenous food and other things, after the opening of the note let them go to the coin exchange, equivalent to the bank place to exchange the corresponding banknotes.

It is still the same as the original social pattern of the Inca Empire, and the nobles always have more materials in their hands and more paper money in their hands.

And the people at the bottom can only rely on their hands to go to the mine to work, and get paper money in exchange for living materials.

The paper money that Zhu Hao ordered to forcibly promote gradually became the common currency of the entire Inca Empire, which was also related to Zhu Hao's strict restriction on the number of paper money issued. In the future, in addition to circulating in the Inca Empire, paper money will also be promoted in Central American New City, Chang'an and other cities.

As the population of the territory grew, Zhu Hao would migrate a group of Incas to Central America, where they would mine various mineral deposits, and as the scale of industrial production expanded, the use of paper money was indispensable.

It's a pity that the iron ore and coal deposits explored on the west coast of the Americas are limited, and Zhu Hao even has to consider whether to send a fleet to the inaccessible Australian continent at this time, where iron ore production and coal reserves are extremely rich.

The only bad thing is that the living environment of the Australian continent is relatively harsh, and it needs to be re-cultivated, and the climate and soil conditions are far worse than those of the American continent, so I am afraid that the grain output cannot meet the needs of its own development...... Unless Zhu Hao is ready to transport the basic living materials from the Americas.

The Australian mainland is indeed within Zhu Hao's development plan, but he feels that he may only take the opportunity of sending the fleet back to the Ming Dynasty to "pay tribute" to the emperor and pay the ransom, and bring out the family scrolls of the soldiers who went to sea, and send a group of people to the Australian mainland to reclaim.

At present, in the American continent, a large-scale war with European colonists has not broken out, there is no shortage of basic resources, and it is basically self-sufficient, and even a lot of surplus can be left, so Zhu Hao is not in a hurry to develop the Australian continent.

……

……

With the passage of time, the rainy season arrives.

Although the rainy season can promote the growth of food crops, but also bring a lot of geological problems, coal, iron and other minerals mining has been hindered to a certain extent, especially this year's rain, sometimes even about ten consecutive days of rain, so that Zhu Hao vigorously promoted the industrialization process has been hindered to a certain extent.

It was at this time that the merchant ships of the Europeans arrived in SF City for the first time.

Originally, Zhu Hao could have sent warships to blow up and sink the European merchant ships, but looking at the posture of the European merchant captains, it seems that he has long known that there is a new city here, mainly because of the vast territory of the Inca Empire, and the Europeans are not only building cities and ships in Panama, but going south from the north.

When Europeans learned that there were outsiders like them who occupied the backward country of the Inca Empire and colonized the country's coastal areas, they thought of getting a piece of the pie.

A Spanish captain, with two retinues, rowed a small boat to the shore, accompanied by several natives of the Inca Empire, passed by the majestic temple that had been built, and arrived at the special inn.

Zhu Hao did not meet immediately, but heard that they brought the so-called "national letter".

Zhu Hao knows English, but not Spanish, and he has been studying lately because he is well aware that this may involve dealing with Europeans in the future, and many of the Aztecs brought by Zhu Hao from the north are familiar with the use of Spanish, but they still know very little about writing.

You can only communicate in words.

Lou Suzhen, as the lord of SF City, personally went to meet the visiting Spanish captain Milana.

When Lou Suzhen came back to see Zhu Hao, she shook her head and said, "It's just a chicken and a duck, I don't know what it is." Fortunately, there are 'Northern Plains' people who can probably understand their words, and they need to interpret it more often, vaguely knowing that they want to exchange gold with us, saying that as long as we are willing to give out gold, they can continue to send materials to this side. ”

Zhu Hao originally thought that the Europeans wanted to buy advanced firearms, but now he knew that these guys were more concerned about the immediate interests, and for them, gold could be exchanged for satisfactory goods in Europe, after all, they were not ready to operate on the American continent for a long time, that is, this group of people had a way out.

As for what goods are available in SF City, they don't know very well, and they don't seem to care too much about those things.

"They are curious, also yellow-skinned people, why are we so strong? Europeans think that we belong to the same race as the local natives, but they seem to know that we are from the ancient country of the Far East, and they also know that our country is called the Ming Dynasty! ”

Lou Suzhen's words immediately made Zhu Hao realize that even if the news of his life did not return to Daming for the time being, it might be possible to let Zhu Si, who was in the inner garden of the palace, know his existence through the mouth of the Franc machine.

With the outbreak of the war with the Europeans, the news of the Ming colonization on the American continent will spread all over the world in the next year or two, and the Ming Dynasty has a trade relationship with the Franco-Rang people after all.

"Their so-called goods are nothing more than souvenirs plundered from elsewhere in the New World, sent in exchange for our gold."

Zhu Hao scoffed, "It's not something they produce themselves, and I'm not rare at all." If they do this, they will send more ships to plunder the entire continent and exchange what they want from us. If we need it, why not do it ourselves? ”

Lou Suzhen said: "If you start trading with the Franc Machine, it can still help us save some effort." ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "The plundering of the Franc machine man is devastating, leaving no room for anything. And we are trading with the aborigines, which is completely different in nature. Money can't fall into their hands, this continent is ours, and there is no need to negotiate with the robbers about how to do business! ”
