"The small people have found the coal under the guidance of the locals, and the coal here is all open-air, and the small people also ask His Royal Highness to help see if this coal mine can work?"

"Good!" Zhu Gaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately understood that plunder is the essence of human beings, and a profitable business is worth the risk and paying for it anytime and anywhere.

"Living here, if you want to save your life, I hope you will remember my request, first, don't drink raw water, the water must be boiled before drinking; 2. Don't eat any unfamiliar food; The third is to stay away from the dead, and if there is a conflict, ask the other party to burn the dead body or bury it in a deep pit. ”

Lu Longqi opened his mouth, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, Zhu Gaoxian glanced at him, and said, "The people here are fierce, there is no legal constraint, there is no constraint on killing people to pay for their lives in the "Da Ming Law", people are killed every day, and there are many plagues. “

Zhu Gaoxian was worried that Lu Longqi and others were blinded by wealth, and only saw the wealth of the white wolf with empty gloves, and disregarded his life, so he had to remind him.

Lu Longqi was not stupid, he heard the meaning, and hurriedly took the order.

Zhu Gaoxian didn't plan to take care of too much and limit the subjective initiative of these people, he asked Jing Qing, who rushed to hear the news, "Has there been a kingdom here?" What is the distribution of political power? ”

Jing Qing has been busy with these things these days, "Your Highness, there is a country called Srivijaya here, which was attacked by Xinhe Shari before, and then the regime was dissolved, and now it is led by Daming Liang Daoming, and they have been resisting the attack of the West King of Java Island. Now that the King of the West is dead, His Highness has come, and Liang Daoming is waiting in the small boat outside, wanting to see His Highness. “

Zhu Gaoxian got up, he had been at sea for a long time, and he had not been at sea for a long time, so he said, "Let's go, go down and have a look!" ”

When he went ashore, Zhu Gaoxian said to Lu Longqi, "Here, don't just stare at coal, mining is a long-term process, remember to bring some valuable things here back to my Daming." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Xiaomin plans to organize people to plant rice and rubber here, and these two things alone can bring me a lot of wealth. ”

Zhu Gaoxian closed his mouth, in terms of business, he felt that even if he had hundreds of years of experience, he could not catch up with these family heads who had successfully amassed a lot of wealth.

What if the man named Joao, the founder of the Aveish dynasty, had a system that could help him develop the tech tree?

If this is the case, he will only have to work harder than the other party, unite the various forces of the Ming Dynasty more, and defeat the other party in terms of the comprehensive strength of the country.

In the future, the battlefield between the Ming Dynasty and Europe can be colonies, and it must not be in China.

All the sense of superiority was gone at this moment, Zhu Gaoxian suddenly felt a little sad, his bottom line was so low, did he not have the confidence to shoot at the other party on the soil of Europe?

If only he could get a ship from Europe, he would be able to judge the level of technological development of the other party by studying the power structure of the ship.

In the process of thinking, Zhu Gaoxian had already gone ashore, and on the shore, Liang Daoming led some Chinese who had status, wealth and status in the local area to kneel on the ground.

"Xiaomin and the others have seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" Although Liang Daoming is the leader of the Three Buddhas, in front of Zhu Gaoxian, it is just a dream for him to want to be an ordinary Ming person.

"Get up!" Zhu Gaoxian stood in front of these people with his hands behind his back, and the sea breeze blew his moon-white robe embroidered with passion flower dark patterns, revealing snow-white knee pants.

The rising sun in the east shone on him, the deep blue sea behind him, the coastline connected with a cloud of orange, the sky was filled with white clouds, and the handsome man was like a god, which inevitably gave birth to a sense of worship in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxian walked on the long flower and grass mat, at the end of the mat was a brand new sedan chair, several strong Chinese men came to lift Zhu Gaoxian, walked about half an hour, and entered a small town.

Liang Daoming had already vacated the place where he lived as Zhu Gaoxian's temporary residence, and he asked his youngest daughter Shi Xiaomei to serve Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Gaoxian asked Ma Sanbao and the dog to stay, waved his hand, and asked all the people sent by Shi Daoming to serve to go down, and only the Ming officials brought by Zhu Gaoxian, the students of the Ming Imperial Academy, Lu Longqi and Shi Daoming and others were left in the room.

"Tell me about the situation here!" Zhu Gaoxian asked Shi Daoming.

Shi Daoming swallowed his saliva, he forcibly held back his very nervous emotions, and tried his best to make his language fluent and clear, "Here is the sea in the north, the mountains in the east, there is the Aru country, and the mountains are also in the west. This was originally the country of Sumatra, and after the old king was killed by the orphaned King of Flowers and Noodles with a medicinal arrow, only one son was very young, and the old king's wife swore that if she could help them avenge them, she would marry whoever she wanted, and she would take charge of state affairs. ”

Hearing this, everyone felt incredible, and Zhu Gaoxian also put his mind at ease, it seems that the royal family here should not have a system.

Countries that are slightly more united will not take revenge in this way.

"And then?" Jing Qing Dynasty Zhu Gaoxian asked.

"Later, a fisherman said that he could, and after leading the old king's subordinates and soldiers to defeat the blood feud of the flower face king, the old king's wife married the fisherman, called 'for the old king', and the family and land were endowed, and listened to the old king's judgment."

Shi Daoming saw that Zhu Gaoxian listened carefully, and continued, "This is the country of Palembang, the ancient name of the country of Srivijada, the original lord of the country was killed by the Manjapahit conquest, Prince Bairi Missoula led the people to flee to the country of Manjapahit, and the small people were enshrined as ...... Ringleader. ”

In front of Zhu Gaoxian, Shi Daoming didn't dare to call him "king", so he used the word "leader".

Shi Daoming knew that Zhu Gaoxian had heard the meaning of the words, he was very nervous, and seeing that His Highness didn't mean to care, he continued, "Manraka has attacked the Three Buddhas several times because of the Bairi Missoula belt, and recently it was because His Highness came down that they didn't dare to invade again. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

After the Ming warships are stationed here, this island should be peaceful for a long time.

"The interests of the Ming Dynasty are inviolable, I hope you can lead the will of the Ming Dynasty to everyone, we don't want disputes here, everyone must keep to themselves."

Zhu Gaoxian pointed at He Shou and said to Liang Daoming, "This king doesn't care who is the leader of you here, this king will ask the imperial court to appoint He Shou as the governor, and he will come forward to contact you to ensure the interests of the Ming Dynasty here." ”

Since He Shou came, Liang Daoming knotted He Shouba very well, he thought that he had a good relationship with He Shou, so he also put his mind at ease and said, "Your Highness, although Xiaomin has come here, Xiaomin is still a Ming person in his bones, and it is a Chinese bloodline, Xiaomin will make every effort to ensure the interests of Daming. ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "This king has given you an order, within this year, reach an agreement with the kings of the other two countries to find out the income here, and this king requires that 20% of the annual income be handed over to the Ming Dynasty." ”

He Shou knew that the so-called "agreement" was just a euphemism, and it was actually a mandatory order.

Zhu Gaoxian turned around and looked at Liang Daoming, "This king will leave two warships here, and each warship will have an armored car on it. Of course, the king's original intention was to live in peace with the people here and bring them peace and prosperity. ”

"Yes, the little people will obey the will of His Highness!" Liang Daoming heard the threat in his words, he had seen Chen Zuyi's strength, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty destroyed Chen Zuyi's sea kingdom in less than an hour, leaving no trace.

He didn't actually lie, he still has Chinese blood flowing in his bones, no matter where he is or how many years he has lived, he and his descendants are still Chinese in the eyes of others.

And he is inevitably proud of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, why didn't he take advantage of the trend and seek strong interests for the Ming Dynasty and for himself?

Lu Longqi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he was overjoyed, he seemed to see boxes of gold beckoning to him in front of him, at this moment, his admiration for Zhu Gaoxian reached an unprecedented height, and he wanted to worship Zhu Gaoxian like a god.

He has been a businessman for most of his life, and he has always bought low and sold high, and has never enjoyed the taste of grabbing money.

The chef brought by Zhu Gaoxian used the ingredients prepared by Lu Longqi to cook a hearty lunch for him, and after a rest, Zhu Gaoxian walked through the town.

In his eyes, he saw a bare mountain not far away, and in his eyes, it was a coal mountain, and there was no grass or trees on the mountain, it was simply the kind of millet that was dried directly on the threshing field, and he could directly take a handful of baskets and sacks, and then he could directly put them into the bag.

"That's it!" Zhu Gaoxian said to the Ministry of Industry and Lu Longqi, "This coal mine has a large output, and you are estimated to not be able to use it up for a while, and Daming will rely on your coal mine for power generation in the future." ”

Also, he pointed to the direction of the coal mine and drew a wire in the direction of the sea, from which a track could be laid to the sea, on which the mine cart could be easily moved. “

Although Zhu Gaoxian's keen eyes could not see the quality of the coal, his industrial knowledge accumulated in his previous life allowed him to know that Indonesia's coal is mostly used as thermal coal, and the ash and sulfur content is very low, and the harmful air pollutants are very low.

It is used for power generation and has a strong load carrying capacity.

Hearing this, Lu Longqi was overjoyed.

He had long heard that there were no coal mines in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty would definitely build thermal power plants throughout the country, where would the coal come from? He digs coal from here, and at most consumes a little labor, and you can imagine how cheap labor is here.

Just the cost of transportation can make him a lot of money.

It's a sure-fire deal!
