Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall Partial Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance, his eyes full of excitement and longing.

He was thrilled with Tang and their success, knowing that this would be an important moment that would change the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, and now the Duke of Xinguo is leading the fleet to mine ore on Treasure Island, which will make my Ming Dynasty's wealth more abundant and the national strength will be further enhanced."

Fu Youwen, the head of the household, said excitedly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yes, this is an important opportunity for me Daming, and we must take advantage of it." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he admired Tang He's talent and courage very much.

"Dingchen is my old brother, and he is also down-to-earth, and I have full confidence in him."

"Now the minerals of Treasure Island will become the foundation of our country's future development, which will make our country richer and richer."

Fu Youwen continued: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen sent by the Xinguo Gong and the Ministry of Industry have jointly studied the geological distribution map of Treasure Island, and they have found that it contains rich gold and silver ores, as well as various other valuable minerals. ”

"As long as it is reasonably developed and utilized, it will definitely bring huge wealth to my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly when he heard this, and then thought for a moment: "Fu Youwen, you are responsible for organizing people to assist Tang He in mining and smelting on Treasure Island." ”

"Liu Sanwu, you lead the mining team to ensure the smooth transportation and smelting of ore."

"We need to work closely together to ensure the smooth progress of this work."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu both looked excited and excited. They know that this is a rare opportunity and a test of their abilities.

In the days that followed, Fu Youwen began the organization work, he organized a hundred soldiers and a team of skilled craftsmen, and sent them all to Treasure Island.

The environment on the island was harsh, and Fu Youwen did their ideological work before they set off.

Liu Sanwu organized a skilled mining team to mine and smelt the ore using the most advanced technology and equipment to ensure the quality and quality of the ore.

Through the unremitting efforts of the two ministers, the ore from Treasure Island began to be transported back to Yingtianfu in a steady stream.

Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply satisfied with this, and he knew that Tang He, Liu Sanwu, and Fu Youwen were using practical actions to create a more prosperous Jiangshan Sheji for the Ming Dynasty.

…….

this day.

Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the court and felt dizzy and came to the Confucius Temple.

Now whenever he comes down in the unchanged court and comes here to listen to Lin Che's lectures, he can always be surprised.

The mansion next door.

Lin Che looked at the brothers Zhu Fan and Zhu Bai who looked longing.

Today, Lin Che will continue his previous explanation of the minerals of Treasure Island, and at the same time show them the layout and deployment of the Ming Dynasty after owning the minerals.

Lin Che began his lecture with a smile: "We know that Treasure Island is rich in mineral resources, especially gold and silver. ”

"The Ming Dynasty was not established for a long time, and the financial situation is not optimistic, and these minerals are extremely important to the Ming Dynasty."

"However, when we start owning minerals, we also need to consider how to rationally deploy and use these resources to maximize their value."

"Daming needs to establish a sound mineral management system."

Lin Che took a sip of tea and continued: "First of all, we must formulate a set of strict mineral mining regulations to prevent the waste of resources and the occurrence of indiscriminate mining. ”

"In addition, there is a need for a dedicated mining management agency to monitor and regulate the mining of minerals."

Zhu Fan nodded and agreed: "It's true, if we don't have a reasonable management system, then even if we have rich minerals, it will bring all kinds of problems." ”

"That's right." Lin Che continued: "Moreover, we also need to be good at making good use of the added value of these minerals. ”

"In addition to using these mineral wealth for the construction and development of the country, we can also further promote the development of the Ming economy through processing and refining to produce high value-added products."

Zhu Fan listened with great interest, and he knew that this was indeed a good idea: "Then we can extract more wealth from these minerals and promote the development of commerce and trade." ”

"Exactly." Lin Che nodded in agreement.

"With the development of the minerals of the Ming Dynasty, we can use this gold and silver to build a powerful fleet to protect our trade routes, while also expanding our territory and sphere of influence."

Zhu Bai asked curiously, "Mr. Lin, can we use these minerals to enhance the country's military strength?" ”

Lin Che replied with a smile: "Of course, the development of mineral resources can not only bring wealth to the Ming Dynasty, but also provide military equipment and weapons to enhance our military strength." ”

"We can develop more advanced artillery and ships, so that the Ming Dynasty can occupy a more important position in the world."

Zhu Fan listened attentively and couldn't help but praise: "Sir, your ideas are really forward-looking, and we have learned a lot. ”

Lin Che smiled when he heard this, and looked at his two students.

"Sir, will you give us the rest of the lesson today?"

Zhu Fan asked again, at this moment he was eager to learn, eager to learn more about the outside world.

"Of course, I will give you some theories and history today, which I believe will be helpful for your future." Lin Che's tone was calm, he hoped to sow the seeds of hope in their hearts.

In the secret room next door.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youwen listened silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to Lin Che's every word, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Since ascending to this throne, he has been longing for this day to come - he yearns for the prosperity of the Ming Empire, and longs for the people of the world to live a good life.

But when Lin Che talked about the minerals of Treasure Island, Zhu Yuanzhang was excited.

He could imagine that if the Ming mastered these deposits, he would be able to mint more coins, expand his armaments, and provide his soldiers with better equipment and weapons.

"Fu Aiqing, did you hear that? Treasure Island's minerals are so important to us! ”

"We can use this to enhance the military strength of the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty stronger and more prosperous." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly to Fu Youwen.

"Your Majesty, these are indeed an important opportunity for my Daming."

"If we master the minerals on Treasure Island, we can not only strengthen the military power, but also increase the economic strength of our DPRK."

Fu Youwen knew Emperor Hongwu's ambitions, and he also had the same hope in his heart.

The lecture next door continues.

Lin Che recounted examples of how other countries in history used minerals to increase their strength, and how the Ming Dynasty missed many opportunities in the past years...
