Chapter 410: Daming Zhongxing, Jiajing Prosperity

Wang Zhi's judgment is right.
Lu Li didn't mean to kill him. After the destroyer drove the Japanese pirates out of Malacca, they stopped chasing them.
The Port of Johor, that is, Singapore for later generations. This is the key to the throat of the entire Strait of Malacca.
In this narrow waterway between the Malay Peninsula and the island of Sumatra, the Riau Islands are densely covered.
As long as a base is built here, a few cannons are installed on both sides, and then the fleet is placed, the sea route to the Far East has been cut off.
Of course, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra are also the territory of Ming Dynasty. The natives here are all tribes large and small, without the concept of a country at all. He planted a flag and said that this was the territory of Daming, and no one raised any objections.
Lu Li took a destroyer and landed at the port of Johor.
A bright sun and moon flag was raised in the original Xipan Ya Governor's Mansion, announcing that this place was officially included in the Ming territory.
The governor's palace is still well built. The stone European-style castle seems to have a kind of exotic beauty.
It's just... after being ransacked by Japanese pirates, there should be nothing left here.
Lu Li smiled and shook his head, not paying attention. Grabbing things is secondary, but occupying territory is the key.
Walking to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Li suddenly stopped and found an unexpected gain.
A row of very special trees are planted in the green belt outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
This is... Fuck! rubber tree!
Lu Li couldn't help laughing: "This Viceroy of Sipan Duck is really a good man. He actually got all the rubber trees that are native to America?"
The value of rubber is simply inestimable.
With rubber, the sealing ring of various machinery and equipment can be solved. With rubber, tires can be made.
With pneumatic tires, the significance of land transportation is inestimable.
"Come on, hurry up and look for it nearby. How many trees are there? Note that this kind of tree is of great value, and it is absolutely not allowed to be felled."
Lu Li quickly gave orders to the guard next to him.
The guards hurriedly searched for rubber trees. After looking around the Governor's Mansion, the guards reported that a total of 35 rubber trees were found, of which only 10 were big trees over three meters high, and the others were small saplings.
Well, it's too early for rubber tires.
Lu Li shook his head, put aside the idea of ​​"you can drive soon", and walked into the Governor's Mansion.
"Duke Guo, we found the warehouse of the Xiban duck people, which has a lot of coins."
Just walking into the Governor's Mansion, another soldier came to report.
coin? Spanish silver coins?
Lu Li also showed some interest, and followed the soldiers to the treasury next to the Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, countless materials were scattered around the mansion, obviously left behind during the looting by the Japanese pirates.
Entering the warehouse, Lu Li saw hundreds of large boxes piled up in the warehouse, all of which were filled with shiny silver coins.
"Master of the country, there is at least a hundred thousand taels of silver in it."
The soldier pointed to the silver coin in the warehouse and introduced to Lu Li.
Hearing this, Lu Li was slightly taken aback. This was not because of the hundreds of thousands taels of silver, but... Lu Li suddenly remembered that the Ming Dynasty currency was still in a mess!
The official currency of the Ming Dynasty was paper currency, which is also called treasure.
It's just... even the emperor didn't recognize the value of treasure banknotes, and no one regarded treasure banknotes as money.
The widely used currencies are still silver and copper coins.
The currency reform of the Ming Dynasty is also imminent. The chaotic currency system is not conducive to the development of industry and commerce.
It is not difficult for Lu Li to come up with a new set of currencies.
The Nanyang Islands are rich in minerals, with many gold mines, silver mines and copper mines. Luzon has 40 million tons of copper reserves and 1,000 tons of gold reserves. Inkpad Papua has 60 million tons of copper reserves, 40,000 tons of silver reserves and 6,000 tons of gold reserves.
In addition, the Jiaozhi Annan area has 1.2 billion tons of iron ore reserves, of which Shixi Iron Mine has 600 million tons of reserves, with an iron content of 67%, and can be mined in the open.
In Nanyang mining fields, iron, copper, gold, and silver are all promising.
As for the manpower for the mining site, there is no shortage of people. There are aboriginal people everywhere. As long as you give the tribal chief some glassware and steel knives, you can recruit as many people as you need.
The currency reform of the Ming Dynasty let Zhang Juzheng do it. The Nanyang area... I have the final say!
So Lu Li started a new plan.
This plan is called "show off your wealth"!
Nanyang's resources are so rich that Lu Li can't occupy it alone, and there is absolutely no need to occupy it alone.
Only need to show the benefits of the present, can make countless Ming Dynasty people who want to make a fortune swarm.
With an order, the 100,000 troops who had arrived in Nanyang immediately dispatched and began a raid.
Two months later, Lu Li's transport fleet returned.
More than three hundred transport ships are filled with special products from all over the Southeast Asia, various precious woods, various ivory rhino horns, various coral clams, various pearls and gems, various gold, silver, copper and iron...
The mighty fleet from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang and Dengzhou all the way to Tianjin.
Every station deliberately docked ships and put up various properties to show off until the Jinmen landing and unloading, the piles of gold and silver treasures made countless people's eyes green.
Of course, deliberately proclaiming the richness of Nanyang's natural resources and the richness of gold is what it should be.
More than three hundred transport ships, unloaded carts of treasure. The endless fleet of vehicles transported for three days in a row before sending these scary amounts of wealth into the capital.
The capital is a sensation! Thousands of people are empty!
Countless people gathered outside the government office, watching carts of gold and silver treasures being sent into the treasury.
Of course, this wealth is also indispensable for Emperor Jiajing.
"President Yue Guo turned over his property, including: 120 silver cars, 13 gold cars, 350 cars of copper, 630 cars of fine iron, 3 cars of Pearl, 4 cars of precious stones, 16 cars of beautiful jade, ivory Five carts, two carts of rhino horns, four carts of coral, five carts of clams, fifty-eight carts of spices, and southern Jiamu...they are full of Neiku Muchang."
When the Lu Fang read the data, Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened.
The national treasury and the inner treasury... are all filled with the Yue Guo Gong?
Gold is everywhere in Southeast Asia? These gold and silver treasures can be picked up by bending down?
"Your Majesty, the public of Yue Guo has a secret certificate to send it."
The great Lu Fang handed out another secret paper that Lu Li sent.
Jiajing took a look at the secret paper, and Lu Li said on the secret paper that there are 60 million tons of red copper, 40,000 tons of silver, and 6,000 tons of gold on Jinzhou Island in Nanyang. Lu Li also stated that one ton is two thousand catties.
In addition, all kinds of red sandalwood, golden nanmu and other precious woods, all kinds of spices, and pearls on the coast are almost everywhere.
Emperor Jiajing screamed!
Nanyang is so rich? mine! mine! It's all mine!
"Lu Fang, immediately dispatch people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and immediately go to Nanyang, pick up the bus from Vietnam, and quickly mine for me."
With 60 million tons of red copper, 40,000 tons of silver, and 6,000 tons of gold, with these things in hand, I don't need to ask the treasury for money!
...
When the Jiajing Emperor was dazzled by the silver flash, the officials of the courts were also dazzled by the silver flash.
Nanyang...so special, so rich!
How could this kind of cornucopia be allowed to be occupied by Duke Yue? Everyone has a share!
Didn't Yue Guo Gong send all the maps of Nanyang? Isn't it said that Nanyang is all the territory of Daming? Then... Let's make a fortune together!
Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to propose setting up state capitals on the Nanyang Islands and sending officials to control various places.
This suggestion was immediately unanimously approved by the court.
In addition to official actions, private actions are much larger.
Family members who have maritime merchants, immediately set sail and raced around the Nanyang Islands to divide up Nanyang's resources.
The common people are also full of interest in the golden Southeast Asia. They bring their own dry food and board the sea boat to find opportunities to make a fortune.
Suddenly, countless people from all over the Ming Dynasty poured into the South China Sea, and the shadows of sails on the sea were continuous, and the shadows of people on the island were faint.
The development of Southeast Asia in the Ming Dynasty officially kicked off.
Lu Li immediately built a mint at various bases in Nanyang.
The steam-powered punch presses a coin at one press. The speed is extremely fast and the coin is very delicate.
Coins are divided into three types: copper coins, silver coins and gold coins. The face value of copper coins is one penny, the face value of silver coins is one or two, and the face value of gold coins is consistent.
Lu Li didn't put Jiajing's head on the coin's pattern. This was to avoid some trouble. He directly used the banner of the sun and the moon and matched the pattern of the palace gate and the Great Wall to create a set of currency.
After the currency was made, Lu Li directly ordered that all parts of Southeast Asia should use the new currency, and gold and silver could not be used as currency transactions.
Then came a new institution-the bank.
Lu Li began to popularize mathematics as early as when he established the army. This tradition has continued to the present.
Today, every soldier in the 200,000 army under Lu Li's command has learned mathematics and understands mathematical calculations. For the time being, the staff of the bank are all staffed by soldiers under his command.
Naturally, no one dared to violate Lu Li's orders in the Nanyang Territory. In less than a month, the countries of the Indo-China Peninsula unified their currencies and fully used Luli's new currency.
As for the Nanyang Islands... the indigenous people did not have the concept of currency, and currency was mainly circulated among the Ming Dynasty people who traveled to and from Nanyang. As for the natives, as long as they know that this thing can be exchanged for materials, they will definitely accept currency.
In order to facilitate the flow of population, Lu Li asked Zhang Yuan to build a large steam-powered passenger ship to communicate the connections between various parts of the Southeast Asia and the inland of Ming Dynasty.
Time came to the end of the 42nd year of Jiajing.
Over the past few months, the Nanyang area is full of enthusiasm, and countless Daming people with dreams of getting rich have travelled all over the Nanyang Islands.
Officials sent by the court also arrived and formally took over the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Islands.
Lu Li didn't make any trouble, but was very cooperative. Except for the military bases at a few key nodes, everything else was handed over to Ming officials.
At this point, Nanyang Zhudao was officially included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Lu Li's eyes also turned to the next place-Australia and Tianzhu.
The Java base, the East Timor base, and the Australian mainland further south. The other line, starting from the Yangon base in Burma, enters the Bay of Bengal along the coastline, and then to the west is Tianzhu.
Australia has nothing to say.
Today, Australia has very few indigenous people, and it's completely empty land.
Lu Li only needed to establish a few port bases to declare that this was the territory of Daming since ancient times.
Australia is just a transit point in Lu Li's plan. Keep going east and reach South America is Lu Li's ultimate goal.
After the plan was clear, Lu Li began to prepare for the next big action.
...
This was a flourishing age in Jiajing forty-two years!
This year, the high-yield crops promoted by Hai Rui received a bumper harvest all over the country.
All of a sudden, from the homes of the common people, to the granaries of the prefectures and counties, to the treasury, there was a pile of grain everywhere.
Farming can't make a fortune, this is the consensus of all the landlords and gentry of Ming Dynasty.
The grain is harvested in an all-round way, so naturally it cannot sell at high prices. After working hard for a year, it is better to take a boat trip than to run a workshop.
Under such circumstances, the landlord class of Ming Dynasty is no longer interested in any land annexation. Important place? A lot of land in Nanyang, just draw a circle, it's all yours, and the natives of Nanyang are much easier to use than tenants.
Those who run workshops, those who do business, those who go to sea, and even those who set up plantations in the Nanyang enclosure are better than those who exploit tenants in their hometowns.
What's more, tenants are not stupid. The exploitation was severe, so I went to the sea in Nanyang.
In this way, the life of the impoverished class of Ming Dynasty is much better, at least food and clothing are not a big problem.
At the end of the year in Jiajing forty-two years.
The emperor Jiajing heard all the memorials, and the situation was all in good shape.
The southern Japanese and northern captives have long since ceased to exist, and high-yield crops have filled grain silos in various places in Daming.
The tax bank collected by Shibosi hit a new high, with a total of 50 million taels a year. This is not counting the various gold, silver, jewellery and precious materials handed in from all over Nanyang. Daming's treasury and inner treasury were all full.
"The country has no borders, and the people have no worries of famine. The warehouse is full of grain, and the treasury is full. The world is rising and all nations come to Korea."
Old Xu Ge bowed to Emperor Jiajing, "Your Majesty, you created Ming Zhongxing and created a peaceful and prosperous age! Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty all smiled and bowed to the Emperor Jiajing, shouting long live.
No wonder they laughed!
Make money! Make a lot of money! Nanyang is really full of gold~EbookFREE.me~ Even if the most valuable minerals are occupied by the emperor, but...in Nanyang, it is countless silver to grow sugar cane and squeeze sugar.
Hearing this congratulation, Emperor Jiajing raised his brows and smiled.
Is this Daming ZTE? Is this a peaceful and prosperous world?
Laozi didn't do anything, and the country has no borders, the people have no worries of famine, the world has risen to peace, and all nations have come to Korea.
And... the Indochina Peninsula is Daming, and the countless islands in Southeast Asia are also Daming. Daming's territory has almost doubled compared to before.
Grandpa Grandpa, Grandpa Cheng, to say you don’t like to hear, I’m Jiajing... even better than you!
I'm not as good as you guys, but...my life is better than you guys!
Lying down will be able to Daming Zhongxing, lying down will be able to Jiajing prosperous age, who of you has this ability?
