Chapter 13, Is Nanyang So Rich?
Tang Jing received Zheng He's order and began to act quickly, and at this moment, more than 400 sea ships happened to have 300 sea ships completely empty.
These ships quickly began to enter the ports of various countries and began to load and unload grain.
In the face of the great soldiers, it is naturally impossible to repay the debts, and no one dares to repay the debts, and the grain is quickly loaded and unloaded.
One by one, the sea ships began to sail back towards Daming with a huge draft.
It took almost a month to come, and it took a month and a half to return, Tang Jing returned to Quanzhou Port with these ships, and then more than ten days later, the grain arrived in Shandong by sea.
Although two seagoing vessels were lost due to wind and waves, such losses were nothing compared to the harvest.
The news quickly spread back to Kyoto.
In the Taihe Palace.
Zhu Di was originally discussing finances with Xia Yuanji, and suddenly got this news.
And in this news, Zhu Di was a little stunned.
Subconsciously looked at the fold in his hand, and then looked at the figure in front of him.
"What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, this is true, General Tang is in charge of dispatching at the port, and a large amount of grain is entering the warehouse and being transported towards Kyoto!"
The figure spoke respectfully, and at this moment he also felt his stuttering.
"Your Majesty, but what happened?"
Xia Yuanji seemed to have heard something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
"Look!"
Zhu Di handed the fold in his hand to Xia Yuanji.
Xia Yuanji hurriedly took it.
When the words on it were presented, Xia Yuanji's whole person was not excited.
"This!"
His eyes instantly looked at Zhu Di, and Xia Yuanji's expression was full of disbelief.
What they just talked about was the food problem, the perennial war, there are actually a lot of gaps in the food of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of workshops have appeared during this period of time, Xia Yuanji is a little worried that food production cannot be guaranteed, so he entered the palace, but he didn't expect that at this moment, there were 180,000 stone grain directly sent to them.
At this moment, Zhu Di thought more, and the figure hurriedly came to the dragon chair and looked at the world map on the desk.
In other words, his eyes were on the South Seas.
It was something he had never noticed.
180,000 stone of grain, and there may be more than 300,000 stone of grain in the future, this moment, it made his heart pound.
"Xia Yuanji, what do you say if I take Nanyang?"
Zhu Di muttered to himself, and at this moment he felt that he couldn't hold back his excitement.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work, the miasma in the South Seas is rampant, the countries are fighting, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my Ming to control it!"
"If Your Majesty orders the expedition, it is easy to have big problems, it is better to follow the words of those gentlemen obtained by Your Majesty, and let Nanyang plant grain and grass for me by trading methods."
Xia Yuanji took a deep breath, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Although he was carried away by the food for a moment, he quickly came to his senses.
The situation in Nanyang is too complicated, and it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is too difficult to control it.
Compared to this, Jiang Chen's method is undoubtedly much cheaper.
In order to solve Xia Yuanji's worries before, Zhu Di gave Jiang Chen's strategy to Xia Yuanji.
At this moment, he naturally knew that compared to the expensive cost of rule, this would be lower and the harvest would be greater.
"Whew!"
"I'm in a hurry!"
"Indeed!"
Listening to Xia Yuanji's words, Zhu Di took a deep breath, suppressed his idea of sending troops immediately, and nodded.
"Your Majesty, since Nanyang has so much grain, we can't waste it, in the future, we can completely follow the law of that gentleman, let Nanyang provide grain and grass, as for the materials, the minister suggests that immediately dispatch manpower from the Ministry of Industry to start production."
Xia Yuanji watched Zhu Di speak, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly added.
"No, sir, if the benefits of heaven do not make the people, the country will always be weak, and all materials will still be purchased by the people."
Listening to Xia Yuanji's words, Zhu Di shook his head, he had not forgotten Jiang Chen's criticism of him going to the West.
Naturally, it is impossible to change it at this moment.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Xia Yuanji hesitated, but still bowed.
"Okay, Xia Yuanji, the food problem will not be a problem, if Zheng He can bring back the grain that yields thousands of catties per mu, then there will be no problem."
"When I subdue the grassland, and then follow the strategy of Mr., I will establish an unprecedented Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Di laughed and spoke, his eyes filled with a sense of longing.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Xia Yuanji couldn't help but be excited at the moment.
When Jiang Chen's strategy was presented, the world map was presented, and now hundreds of thousands of stone grains were presented, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but feel surging, and he felt that a majestic prosperous era was beckoning to him.
Perhaps this will be the second prosperous era of China since the Tang Dynasty, and it will also be an unprecedented prosperous era.
Of course, in the palace, no one knew about the excitement of Zhu Di and Xia Yuanji.
When Natsuhara Yoshi left the palace.
Tobe soon had another order delivered.
A new round of procurement has begun.
This time it was directly expanded tenfold.
That's right, compared to the strength of the previous procurement, this moment has directly expanded tenfold.
The purchase intensity of more than ten times made almost all merchants crazy, even a large number of handicraftsmen in Daming.
Although the deposit paid this time is similar to the previous one.
But for the first time, no one doubted that the imperial court would repay the debt.
A large number of materials began to be mobilized, and a large number of idle Ming people were also mobilized.
When Lao Zhu was here, the population of the Ming Dynasty was already as high as more than 60 million, and after decades of development, the population of the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly more, and the land that could be cultivated had basically been completed, and some people without land began to appear.
At the same time, land annexation also began to appear.
Not surprisingly, as time goes by, these people will gradually be absorbed by the landlords or turned into hooligans, but the moment they appear at this moment, they begin to be absorbed by the workshop.
Some problems were avoided from the start.
Maybe he'll have some new problems, but these are not problems now, spurred on by huge orders, at least not for now.
And the entire Ming system has quietly further transformed under this circumstance.
It's just that no one can know about this transformation yet.
Zhu Di didn't know.
Natsuhara didn't know.
Jiang Chen didn't know even more.
He just blew a wave of in the chat group, and he didn't expect that it was Zhu Di on the other side, and Zhu Di was moving in the direction of his bragging.
