Chapter 215 Discovery of Gold Mine(1/3)

"Master, the most urgent task now is that since we have established Ziyin City Mansion and subordinate counties, should we put the candidates for officials at all levels on the agenda?"

"Now, as more and more local natives join us, various illegal and criminal things are happening one after another."

"And the longer the time, the more and more natives will come to join us. Therefore, I think these regulations should be taken out as soon as possible!"

As soon as Fang Shiyu walked into the camp, Zhu Gaochi suddenly rushed in with anxiety on his face.

“What year is it now?”

Fang Shiyu was so busy that he was busy all kinds of things every day, and with the construction of Ziyin City, he finally realized the difficulties of Lao Zhutou.

The previous military camp has been converted into a brick factory at this time.

The construction of Ziyin City and the living needs of the military and civilians have increased dramatically. Dozens of brick burning factories have been built near the military camp site.

When cutting the mountains and logging, all the excess waste scraps are used as raw materials for burning bricks.

"It's the third day of the first lunar month of the 23rd year of Hongwu." Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and returned with uncertainty.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "It has been more than a year since we landed in Dongsheng Shenzhou. As for what you just said, you can just choose the positions of officials at all levels, so you can't ask me. This time, we brought only a dozen scholars. It's a bit difficult to teach local indigenous people to learn Chinese culture."

Fang Shiyu sighed. It was obviously unrealistic to let the local natives become officials. Not to mention whether they are really loyal, even if they are Han culture, they can learn only a little bit of knowledge. Not to mention that it is not possible now, it will not be possible for at least two hundred years!

Since Zhu Quan and Zhu Zhi went to the jungle to hunt and were besieged by local indigenous people, Fang Shiyu has been unable to help but beware of the local indigenous people. Even though not all indigenous people are cannibals, it is always right to prevent Yu Weiran.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was stunned.

"I'll do it myself? I'll just tell you what I want to do here?"

"Well, you have the final say! After I return, you will be the king here!"

Zhu Gaochi seemed to be in no trouble, and said again after hearing this: "Master, I just made a suggestion. I think the most urgent thing now is to establish the government office first, then select the right person and appoint officials."

"I have also selected this suitable candidate. Everything respects the Ming system, and the law can also follow the Ming law."

"I'm just waiting for your instructions from Master, and then recruit a group of yamen constables from Yong'an County in the north, Yongming County in the southwest, and Yongping County in the southeast to maintain daily public order in various places and arrest those who commit crimes."

While Zhu Gaochi said, he handed the memorial in his hand to Fang Shiyu. Fang Shiyu took it and glanced.

Regarding the candidates for officials, names such as Duan Kui and Zhang Meixuan appeared on the list of county officials. Fang Shiyu didn't know them at all, so he was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Zhu Gaochi is worthy of being a wise ruler in later generations. He has many ideas, most of which are about the institutional system problems that Zixiahe Prefecture needs to be solved urgently.

However, because there is an example that can be copied by Daming, it is not a big deal.

"Huh? You have to settle the monetary system too?"

As he looked, Fang Shiyu suddenly became stunned.

Today, Ziyinhe Prefecture has a total of more than 390,000 local natives registered. At that time, the original plan of Ziyinhe Prefecture was only enough for more than 300,000 people to settle down.

At present, the economic model of the entire Zixiahe Mansion is still the lowest stage of exchanging goods for goods, and food is distributed according to working hours.

Zhu Gaochi not only wanted to initially formulate a general system, but even prepared to finalize the economic system, which surprised Fang Shiyu again.

"The monetary system is the top priority. In my opinion, we should seize the time to cast a batch of Hongwu Tongbao to replace the bartering today."

"With these Hongwu Tongbao, they can no longer trade barter or work hours for daily needs. Now in the past year, we have reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. According to the five people per household, the registered population alone has already reached more than 80,000, and this number is still rising, and it will only increase."

"At present, every household can get about five acres of land. Only with everything with a charter can Ziyinhe Mansion develop faster..."

Zhu Gaochi had many ideas, but he couldn't figure it out himself. Whether these ideas were right or wrong at this time point, so he came to Fang Shiyu to discuss it.

"All fields can only be lent to them by renting, but the right of ownership must not fall into their hands. These fields must be used as royal fields and included in the imperial village."

"As for you want to mint a batch of currencies immediately, it is not realistic now. Not to mention that the tools we bring are limited, it is very difficult to cast. The only raw materials, such as gold, silver and copper, are not found except for a small amount of gold."

"Are you planning to melt the tiger squat cannon directly to cast copper coins?"

When Fang Shiyu heard this, he immediately shook his head.

As soon as Fang Shiyu finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi immediately returned: "Master, I forgot to report to you. The mine has been discovered, but it has not yet been determined what mine it is!"

"If the copper ore is found, then won't the raw materials for this copper coin be there?"

Fang Shiyu slowly looked at Zhu Gaochi and returned with a serious look on his face: "Little fat man, you are just in your early 10 years old. It is still early to wait for you to become the king here and govern the country. Even if a gold, silver and copper mine is found here, you will be brought back to the Ming Dynasty by us when you return."

The purpose of Fang Shiyu coming here is naturally not just for a peanut. Now that the Ming Dynasty has three other magical objects, the demand for crops is not urgent. Otherwise, Fang Shiyu would have been able to return long ago.

Why do we need to build new cities here, plan local government offices, and build city walls to take them over to so many local indigenous people?

Fang Shiyu's biggest purpose is to make the gold, silver and copper ore here, because the reserves here are much larger than those in the Ming Dynasty.

"Bring back to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and subconsciously repeated.

Fang Shiyu smiled, walked to the door of the camp with his hands behind his back, and turned his back to Zhu Gaochi, and slowly said: "Dongsheng Shenzhou is a good place, but how can the indigenous people living here be compared with the Chinese people? Therefore, all the resources here should be transported back to the Ming Dynasty!"

"What are we bringing advanced science and technology and advanced civilization to Dongsheng Shenzhou? Is it because we can't do good without desire or desire?"

"We worked hard to teach them to learn advanced Chinese culture, wait for them to grow and grow, turn the guns and invade our China?"

"In less than thirty years, Dongsheng Shenzhou will become the territory of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. In another twenty years, every inch of Dongsheng Shenzhou will be defined by the north and south, and a new master will appear in the north and south."

"As for these natives, as long as they are not allowed to starve to death, it is a gift."

Fang Shiyu finished speaking and walked out of the tent immediately.

In Fang Shiyu's opinion, whether it is Dongsheng Shenzhou or Ziyinchengfu, it is just for the resources here. As for economic construction, it is a thankless thing. It consumes huge manpower, material resources and financial resources. It is completely unnecessary to support this place.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty was not full of singing and dancing. There were countless people struggling on the poverty line and they didn't even have enough food to eat. How could they have leisure and leisure that would make the foreigners live so well?

The natives here can have no worries about food and clothing, wear warm clothes and eat enough, and will not be exploited and enslaved because of war. The soldiers who came here to cultivate can be regarded as their saviors.

Support the development of Dongsheng Shenzhou?

Let’s talk about it when everyone lives and works in peace and prosperity in the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing now is to vigorously develop the Ming Dynasty. Now, and the future will be the same. The main and the secondary must always be clear!

Zhu Gaochi stood there in a daze, looking at Fang Shiyu's slowly leaving back, looking at his question mark, unable to understand.

After a while, Zhu Gaochi walked out of the tent with heavy steps.

......

Outside the school grounds, Fang Shiyu looked at Zhu Ziyi who had returned from outside and couldn't help but ask: "Where have you been so early?"

Zhu Ziyi returned with a puzzled look: "I'm going to see the Ziyin City Royal Palace. It's almost done. Don't you plan to stay in for a few days?"

In fact, if we follow the construction process of the Ming Dynasty, the first one should be the inner palace, but Fang Shiyu did the opposite, first building the outer city wall, then the urn city, and then the inner city, and finally the palace built.

Fang Shiyu glanced at the basket in Zhu Ziyi's hand and smiled and said, "I am not the emperor, I live in any royal palace, and that was not built for me."

But the next second, Fang Shiyu's eyes suddenly turned on and he blurted out and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

"On the way back, several workers gave it to me, saying that this thing is very delicious and not only quenches thirst but also manages fullness. When they work in the summer, everyone will bring some with them."

Zhu Ziyi returned casually.

This is Zhu Ziyi's first time seeing this thing, so she was originally going to take it back and try it out by herself.

Fang Shiyu took one from her basket. It was already ripe and it seemed to be quenching thirst.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately waved to the guards beside him.

"Go and bring all the people who give them to the princess and other things to me!"

"promise!"

Zhu Ziyi became even more confused and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know what this is? Can't you eat it? It's poisonous?"

"That's not enough, it's just that this thing is a long story..."

Fang Shiyu sighed and slowly returned.

Zhu Ziyi originally wanted to continue asking questions, but Fang Shiyu did wave her hand to signal her not to ask more questions.

Zhu Gaochi happened to walk out of the camp at this time. Seeing Fang Shiyu holding this thing in his hand, he immediately smiled and said, "Master, do you like to eat this thing too?"

"Why have you eaten it too?" Fang Shiyu was shocked, grabbed Zhu Gaochi and asked.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and immediately returned: "Aren't I the supervisor of Ziyin Cang Mansion? Those natives have nothing to do with, so they often give me this thing. I often eat it, and the taste is pretty good."

"Eat it often?" Fang Shiyu was even more surprised!

"Yes..." Zhu Gaochi looked at Fang Shiyu with a suspicion. Is that as for it?

"I've been eating it for about a year. I've eaten it when the exterior wall of Ziyin City Mansion was built..."

"Damn it, then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Fang Shiyu gave Zhu Gaochi a white look and kicked Zhu Gaochi on the butt!

These little bastards have not been beaten for too long. Damn it, I don’t report to me immediately if I have any problems!

Fang Shiyu looked at Zhu Gaochi with a grin on his face, full of resentment, and puzzled, as if he didn't feel angry, and then smashed the tomatoes in his hand directly towards Zhu Gaochi.

"Duan Kui, go and bring those natives here, find out the origin of this thing, and let them immediately open up a new field outside the military camp, plant this thing, and be sure to get the seeds before returning to the voyage. I will bring it back to the Ming Dynasty!"

The tomatoes hit Zhu Gaochi's face very accurately and exploded. The juice splashed everywhere in an instant, and Zhu Gaochi's face was smashed.

Looking at Fang Shiyu, Zhu Gaochi was about to cry without tears, and turned to look at the basket in his aunt's hand, full of this thing.
