Including Lao Zhu, these older generation of Ming people have fought with the Northern Yuan Dynasty all their lives.

Compared to the Wa Kingdom that was far overseas.

They want to completely defeat the Northern Yuan! See what day the Northern Yuan will perish!

This is the wish of all Ming people!

Zhu Yunxi can understand, but he never agrees, the real purpose of his expedition to the Japanese State is to put it bluntly, he is still eyeing the mines in the territory of the Japanese State.

Even, the mine is not his real purpose!

Zhu Yunxi's real purpose is to use the mines he has acquired as a guarantee to continue to issue more treasury bonds in China! Print money vigorously!

Continue with the land reform!

Whether the silver from the mine can be transported back to Daming, Zhu Yunxi doesn't really care, all he needs is a big cake that can be seen and touched by the big guys.

As for how long it takes?

This is not within Zhu Yunxi's consideration.

After all, the road is far away, and you have to dig slowly, and when you really send the silver back in batches...... At that time, I am afraid that if it is not for Daming, he will be able to repay the debt by relying on his own ability.

In addition to the grassland, the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is the grassland......

There is no substantive point in sending troops now, after all, Zhu Yunxi's purpose is to go to the Japanese state.

Or to let the people of Daming know that Daming has occupied many silver mountains and will not be short of money in the future.

Enhance the people's confidence in the ability of the Ming court to repay debts.

Faith went up.

Isn't this money coming?

"The conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is a matter of great importance, at present, the entire Ming Dynasty is building a national highway, and when the national highway is completed, it will be more than a hundred times more convenient to transport materials."

"At that time, it will be a million troops stationed in the Northern Yuan, and it will be idle!"

Zhu Yunxi slightly calmed the hearts of Lan Yu, Xu Huizu and other generals.

But actually...... All he described was a big pie that he couldn't eat!

Not to mention that he was already preparing to cut out the old army, streamline the Ming army, and liberate the young and strong labor force.

It is absolutely impossible to have a million-strong army stationed in the Northern Yuan.

Secondly, Mobei is huge, even if it is stationed with a million troops, what is the use?

At the end of the day, it's a pastoral approach.

If possible, it is best to lay wooden rails in the vast desert and drag the carriages with horses as the power.

Create a 'train' that fits the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, no matter how wide the desert is, the army of the Ming Dynasty will be able to arrive in a moment.

In this way, Beiyuan will naturally not be able to set off any storms.

"Do you have any opinions?" Zhu Yunxi glanced around the court.

The ministers and officials did not dare to look at it directly.

I don't dare to object.

So Zheng He's expedition to the Wa Kingdom was decided.

And with the conquest of the Japanese state decided, the matter of land reform was also on the right track.

Zhu Yunxi also rarely had some leisure again.

And after this leisure, Zhu Yunxi came to Yao Guangxiao's residence as soon as possible.

He has a very important thing to hand over to Yao Guangxiao to do.

Zhu Yunxi walked into the courtyard, exchanged a few words with Yao Guangxiao, and went straight to the point.

Take a picture scroll from your sleeve.

spread out and said: "This is a map of all countries!" I want you to make a special feature in the People's Daily to explain in detail this map of all countries! ”

"Introduce to the people in detail the customs and features of this country."

"There are also different specialties from different places!"

Yao Guangxiao looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Yunxi.

But I saw that this so-called Kunyu Wanguo Map is a map!

And the direction that Zhu Yunxi's hand pointed at was actually marked with Da Ming! And Da Ming only occupies a small part of this map!

As for the Wa Kingdom on the side, you have to take a closer look to see the whole picture!

"This ......" Yao Guangxiao was dumbfounded.

His throat unconsciously hoarse.

Hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, where did this picture come from?" ”

Of course, Zhu Yunxi can't say that he looks at it from the book, so he can only shirk it from foreign businessmen.

Explained: "Didn't Lone get sweet potatoes from foreign merchants in the old days? ”

"Since then, Lone has had the heart to pay attention to overseas affairs."

"Sent people to continue to investigate, summarized the news from all sides, and finally compiled this map of the world, and understood the general picture of our world."

Zhu Yunxi did not mark this picture in great detail.

There is just a general direction, and there are some general topography markings.

After all, if it were too detailed.

On the contrary, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and now it is roughly marked, it can be passed on to other foreign businessmen.

If there is a problem, it is their problem.

It has nothing to do with him Zhu Yunxi.

"It turns out that the world is so vast...... Yao Guangxiao never thought that the vast and boundless Ming Dynasty would only occupy a small part of the entire world.

"Huh?"

Yao Guangxiao suddenly pointed curiously to a misty place on the Kunyu Wanguo Map.

He asked, "Where is this?" ”

"Why is it all fog? Could it be that the borders of the world are all fog? ”

The place Yao Guangxiao is pointing to is the edge of the map.

The Kunyu Wanguo Map is centered on the Ming Dynasty, with a wide continent to the west and a vast and boundless sea area to the east, with only the shadow of some continents on the border.

The rest is all fog.

Zhu Yunxi explained: "This is where the sweet potato is located, but it is too far away from Daming. ”

"The foreign merchants who got the sweet potatoes only came by chance."

"I haven't explored the whole picture of this continent, but I heard that this place is extremely vast, and the area is huge, I'm afraid it is no less than the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yunxi: Although this map of Kunyu Wanguo was made up by himself.

But this is not false.

The world thinks that the American continent was discovered during the Age of Discovery, but in fact, this continent has already been discovered.

Not to mention that it has been 25 years now.

Even if you go back a hundred years, many Europeans have already discovered this continent.

It's just a solitary group, occupying only a marginal position.

The continent has never been truly explored, and no one has spread the news.

In fact, Europeans have always known that there may be another piece of land on the other side of the sea.

It's just that the large-scale development of this lost continent will not wait until after the Great Voyage.

But today's focus of Zhu Yunxi is not on this.

Instead, he pointed to the small island country on the east side of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Although the Wa Kingdom is an island country, there is a shortage of materials and a scarce land. ”

"But there is only one thing, and it is many."

"In the territory of the Wa Kingdom, there is no shortage of open-pit silver mountains, with huge reserves and simple mining."

"Take this stone to see the silver mountain as an example, if we use the technology of our Ming Dynasty to mine, the silver that can be mined every year will at least exceed millions of taels!"

"And in the territory of the Wa Kingdom, there are countless such silver mountains!"

"If it can be owned by my Ming Dynasty, I can mine back the silver taels of the Ming Dynasty every year, no less than tens of millions of taels of silver!"

Historically, the Wa Kingdom once accounted for as much as one-third of the world's silver output.

Tens of millions of taels!

And that's when their mining skills aren't very sophisticated.

If Da Ming is in charge of mining, with the most advanced technology, there will definitely be tens of millions of taels of silver mined every year!

It's higher than the tax of the whole year of Daming!

And this is the income of pure silver, which is different from the physical object, and has the ability to maintain value!

With these silver in the account, the banknotes issued by Zhu Yunxi can also have more purchasing power, after all, his banknotes are directly linked to silver, and the value is guaranteed!

There will not be a significant drop in the value of banknotes.

It can be said that these silver mountains of the Wa Kingdom are of great use to the Ming Dynasty!

"So many?" Yao Guangxiao was also shocked!

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

said excitedly: "We must take down the Japanese country!" Belong to me! ”

Zhu Yunxi looked at Yao Guangxiao, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and smiled.

said: "The resources of the Japanese country are poor, and they are of little use to my Ming Dynasty. ”

"We just need to buy their silver mountain, and we can first take his mining rights for a hundred years."

As for a hundred years from now?

I'll pay them back when the time comes.

Daming is not uncommon to that bit of land.

Colonization and economic exploitation is what he wants!

Yao Guangxiao smiled understandingly.

nodded and said: "Okay, I will immediately organize people, and use this Kunyu Wanguo Map as a talking point to start a Wanguo column!" ”

"Let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know that the world is big."

"Let all the people of the Ming Dynasty know the purpose of Taisun's expedition to the Japanese Kingdom!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly coughed lightly.

said: "You need to remember that this Kunyu Wanguo Map was made by someone you sent, and the Ishimi Silver Mountain was also the news that you got from many inquiries." ”

"It's not about loneliness."

Yao Guangxiao naturally understood, nodded and said, "That's the case." ”

"The minister will also deliberately arrange for some people who have been to the country of Wa to show up and say the truth, so that everyone knows that this is not the words of Weichen's family."

Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction.

This matter came out of his mouth, which inevitably weakened the persuasiveness of the three points.

But Yao Guangxiao said it, but it can be a little more convincing.

After all, Yao Guangxiao's reputation as a wise and close demon has spread all over the government and the opposition.

Soon.

A new issue of the People's Daily was published, and the government and the opposition were shaken!

Everyone couldn't help but discuss it!

The world is so big that it has given all the people of Beijing and the ministers and officials an indescribable shock!

Among them, there are some interesting anecdotes about the customs of various countries, and they have become the talk of the people when they are bored.

And the news of Iwami Ginzan came out.

It has caused an unprecedented sensation!

The Wa Kingdom still has such wealth!

Everyone couldn't help but have a greedy thought in their hearts, it was tens of millions of taels of silver a year!

If it can be owned by the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be ......

And at this time, another news came: Zheng He, the prefect of Songjiang, had successfully led the navy to recover the chicken coop and exterminate the pirates stationed on it!

Thousands of thieves were captured and returned to Songjiang Mansion!

And the Ming Navy was not damaged in the slightest! Even the only person injured was caused by a slippery fall on the deck!

The news came back.

Suddenly, the morale of the court and the people was shocked!

With this navy, the Ming Dynasty may not be able to conquer the Wa Kingdom and occupy Iwami Silver Mountain!

There was a sense of expectation in the hearts of all the people of Jingshi.

I hope Zheng He can capture Iwami Silver Mountain!

Under the ardent expectation of all the people, Zheng He led tens of thousands of navies, riding the newly built treasure ship, carrying slowly supplies, and began to go north!

At this time, the summer breeze is just beginning.

Zhu Yunxi also began to intensively prepare for the issuance of additional treasury bonds......
