Chapter 192: The Land That Makes People Drool
Guns, addictive FMCG, compradors.
When a race reaches the point of extinction, these three things will definitely appear.
Addictive FMCG destroys the spirit and body of this race, and the compradors not only sell their sovereignty and resources, but also help foreigners exploit and oppress their own people.
Guns are a necessary step in the transformation of comprador warlords, comprador warlords fight to the death, suppress and seize territory without a bottom line, and the money they rob becomes soldiers and guns!
As long as these three artifacts are collected, a copy of the Salvation Map can be activated, and if there is no suitable guiding ideology, and there are no people who have not been met for thousands of years, then the entire race will either perish like the Indians, or become a vassal of others in terms of culture and thought.
And the only thing Yan Zheng can export is compradors and guns, all he has to do is to suck blood from various countries as much as possible.
Addictive FMCG, he will only sell alcohol, sugar and tobacco, and will not export opium and other foul-smelling things, because he understands that this kind of thing is popular in the surrounding area, and it will definitely eat himself!
Therefore, the hand of addictive FMCG, if he wants to play, it will be discounted, and the effect will definitely not be as good as the historical Angsa bandits.
It can only be said that sometimes thinking too far ahead, but will be constrained, if he does not care about the huge waves in a few hundred years, he can immediately get out of the plantation, plant the opium poppy, and then make opium and sell it to Little Japan and Little Stick, which is definitely a million profits, and can also help destroy these two countries.
But he has to think for future generations, and he doesn't want to be like Mi Guo in the future.

"Oh, this is a trade report from Japan and the Ryukyus!"
"Chief, this is the defense map of Ryukyu and Naha Port!"
After meeting the little devil, Yan Zheng immediately summoned Li Haigou and Zhang Sanfeng.
As soon as they came in, they handed in trade reports and scouting reports.
"Uh-huh, you've worked hard!" Yan Zheng stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at the trade report first.
He looked at the details of each item, and couldn't help but smile, sure enough, it is still sea trade to make money, and a trip to Ryukyu is better than a few trips to Zhangzhou!
"Tsk! How can there be horses in the Ryukyus? When he saw the list of Ryukyu goods, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Li Haigou explained: "These products are all provided by the surname Zheng of the Ryukyus, and it is said that they include all the products of the Ryukyus!"
Yan Zheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Next time I go to Ryukyu, I can focus on examining horses, and it is best to buy a few hundred horses back!"
"The villain obeys!" Lehi Dog arched his hand.
Yan Zheng looked at it again, took the pen and hooked horses, sheep, pigs, cows, copper, brown sugar, hardwood, and rice, and then handed it to Lan Ya and said, "Rewrite a copy, this archive!"
Lan Ya nodded and took it, and immediately began to copy.
Yan Zheng glanced at the list of properties given by the Shimazu clan again, and couldn't help but say happily: "It seems that there will be no shortage of copper materials in the future!"
And when he had flipped through it, he ticked the list of copper, sulphur, mercury, cinnabar, horses, pigs, lead, tin, and red copper. After hooking, it was also handed over to Lan Ya.
The main purpose of checking the livestock is to obtain different breeding animals and fill the traits that can be obtained by the breeding station.
"This trade seems to have been extremely successful!" Yan Zheng said with satisfaction.
Li Haigou replied: "It's just that this trade with the Ryukyus, the person who handled it was the surname Zheng, and they have thirty-six Han surnames on the Ryukyu Island, if the trade expands in the future, the supply of some materials may not be the final word of the surname Zheng, so the villain thinks, next time I go to the Ryukyus, I should take the initiative to make friends with some businessmen."
Yan Zheng thought for a while and said: "Don't be so troublesome, if you have the chance, go directly to the king of the Ryukyus, and entrust the trade to one or two surnames!"
"Is it just giving carte blanche to one or two surnames?"
"That's right, two or three interest representatives are enough, and if there are too many, there will be more people to buy!"
Li Haigou nodded, and said: "King, this time the villain also discovered that the natives on Ryukyu Island have the same language as the natives of Dongbo!"
"Oh!" Yan Zheng smiled and said, "That's the case! It seems that it is really an Austronesian language family. ”
He was instantly excited, the Han people and natives on Ryukyu Island are all related to Dongbo by blood and language, and it is really a reserved territory that God has rewarded him.
He hurriedly took the defense map, flipped through it, and asked, "Kume Island and Naha Port, the capital of their lord, have you ever snooped on them?"
Zhang Sanfeng replied, "I haven't snooped on it, but you can go up this river and reach their capital!" As long as we have control of Kume Island and Naha Port, we can attack with all ease. ”
Yan Zheng frowned and looked at the defense map, looked at the defense on Kume Island and asked, "How many troops do you think can capture Kume Island and Naha Port?"
Zhang Sanfeng thought for a moment and said confidently: "If the army is in the army, two battalions are enough!" The soldiers over there are not well equipped and look rather lazy! It's just that to take down Kume Island and Naha Port, you need at least four big ships like the Long March! ”
"Two battalions!" Yan Zhengchang thought about it for a while, this is a good piece of land for development, and after it is built, it can not only collect taxes, but also confiscate minerals such as copper ore and lead ore.
In this way, it is a treasure land that can produce brown sugar, grain, fish salt, and copper!
Just thinking about this beautiful thing makes people sleepless.
He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked, "Then what is the condition of the Long March on this voyage?"
Li Haigou instantly came to his senses, and he smiled and said: "King, the villain has been running the sea all his life, and he has never seen such a good ship, and the combination of shang-sail and cross-sail is indeed very effective, I suggest that the rest of the ships be changed to schooner and cross-sail."
"The rest of the lucky ships can also be changed?" Yan Zheng asked.
"The villain doesn't think it's difficult, just let the shipbuilders raise the mast."
Yan Zheng nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that the four hundred ships that the Song family promised to build have also arrived, so they will all be changed to a combination of longitudinal sails and crosssails!"
"The king is wise!"
"What about the naval guns? How did you conduct your attack drill this time? Yan Zheng asked again.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled bitterly and said: "King, the naval artillery has a great advantage over the artillery on land, but our artillery can't be bombarded!" As long as the enemy has a fort like the Bamboo Trench Port, our shells can only produce ricochet, and the only two batteries destroyed are also destroyed by the forward-loading -75 gun! The rear-loading -75 gun can't hit those batteries at all! ”
This made Yan Zheng unexpected, he asked: "In this way, it is not a problem to fight, but the power of the cannon is too small?"
"That's right!"
"It seems that this cannon money really can't be saved!" Yan Zheng sighed helplessly, what else could I do? Three catties of shells are not good, that is ten catties of shells!
He immediately signed an order requiring the mold factory to manufacture a batch of 10-pound shells.
The gauge of the cannonball, unlike the gauge produced by other industries, is a circle, which can be understood as the caliber of the cannon.
In the production of cannons and shells, as long as the same batch of gauges is used, the clearance between the shells and the cannon wall can be ensured, and it will not be too large.
As a result, the shooting watch and the ruler can really have reference value.
Therefore, standardization is not a one-step matter, and human beings have been exploring for many years before discovering the benefits of standardization.
