Chapter 915 Colonize Australia! Colonize New Zealand!
Zhang Zhun looked at the other party with some confusion, deliberately pretending to be incomprehensible, and said casually: "What's the best thing to follow me?"
Hasqiqige hurriedly said, "I don't want to do it either! But my grandfather learned the news from somewhere and thought I was not good at playing around, so he sent someone to tell me that I don't want to do anything, and that I should follow you happily. He said, I should learn more from you, don't run around all day and waste time."
Zhang Zhun smiled dryly and said meaningfully: "Your grandpa is really quick-hearing! In such a cold winter, there is no information channel between him and the Central Plains? It seems that there must be many fast horses in your Aoter tribe."
Hasqiqige said helplessly: "I am most afraid of grandpa. If he is unhappy, my life will be sad. There is no way, so I have to follow you. But don't worry, I will never bother you. I will do some chores for you. For example, be a messenger or something. Just let me do things, I won't mind."
Zhang Zhun looked at her with a naked gaze, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Are I willing to send such a beautiful messenger out?"
Has Qiqige felt Zhang Zhun's aggressive gaze, and her cheeks became redder and looked even more beautiful. She said embarrassedly: "Then you can arrange another errand for me. As long as I can do it, I will do it hard."
Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully, withdrew his gaze and said to himself: "It seems that you are really a little scared of your grandfather."
Has Qiqige nodded subconsciously, then shook his head immediately. No one knew what she meant by nodding and shaking her head.
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Okay, come with me!"
Haschiqige said, “Where to go?”
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Go and see something."
He waved his hand and called Dugu Lie over and ordered him to set off for Balipu.
What Zhang Zhun wants to see is of course the property left by Gao Qiqian. He has to look at these things so that he can be more impressed. Perhaps, there may be some valuable things in it. Besides, even if there is nothing valuable, just taking a look at them is also a pleasing thing, right?
When the group arrived at Balipu, the soldiers of the Wei camp had sealed all their property. However, if the governor wanted to see it, there was naturally no problem at all. The door of the huge warehouse was opened, and Zhang Zhun and Has Qiqige walked in slowly and checked Gao Qiqiqian's property one by one.
Of course, there is no need to look at gold, silver and other things. These things must be used to be valuable. Zhang Zhun only needs to know the exact numbers. Zhang Zhun doesn’t care about jewelry, antiques and other things. Because he doesn’t know the value of these things at all, and he must wait until Shen Lingfei sends someone to check to get more accurate data.
What Zhang Zhun loves is some strange things, such as weapons left in ancient times. Unfortunately, Gao Qiqian is obviously a vulgar person, and there is nothing that Zhang Zhun likes in these properties.
But Has Qiqige was very eye-opening. It seemed that it was the first time he saw so many gold and silver jewelry. He said enviously: "Wow! So much gold and silver!"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "If you want, just exchange the war horse! Fifteen taels of silver for one war horse! Give me 100,000 war horses, and I will give you 1.5 million taels of silver!"
Hasqiqige said with some regret: "We don't have so many war horses."
Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Actually, there is one thing that is much more valuable than a war horse."
Has Qiqige immediately became interested and asked hurriedly: "What?"
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Wool."
Has Qiqige asked in surprise: "Wool?"
Zhang Zhun said seriously: "If you use the same ranch to raise sheep, you will make much more money than raising horses. You can raise more sheep and less war horses in the future."
Haschiqige asked strangely: "But, what is the use of wool?"
Zhang Zhun said affirmatively: "Of course it's very useful. In short, as long as you have enough wool, I will buy it at a high price. The price of wool is much higher than that of war horses."
He did not deliberately keep it in a silence here, but the wool market has not been developed yet. The drawings of Jenny's spinning machine seem to have been taken away by Sun Weina, but the textile industry has not yet fully developed. The problem of raw materials does not require labor to be used in the Mongolian grasslands for the time being. The local wool in Shandong can still be supported for a while.
However, with the development of social economy, the textile industry will definitely develop first. As long as the textile industry develops, a large amount of wool will inevitably be needed. At that time, the Mongolian grasslands must have a large amount of breeding sheep to meet the continuous needs.
Of course, Zhang Zhun had another purpose in doing this, which was to reduce the number of war horses on the Mongolian grasslands so as to better control the Mongolians. War horses are strategic resources and need to be controlled and cannot be made into the capital of the highest level. Without war horses, nomadic peoples will no longer be called nomadic peoples, and their threats will no longer exist.
Of course, such "sincere" intentions cannot be explained clearly with Hasqiqiqi. Everything must be waited for the situation in the country to gradually stabilize. At that time, as long as some relevant laws and regulations are formulated, sheep can be gradually promoted in the Mongolian grasslands and slowly occupied the position of war horses.
When Zhang Zhun thought of wool, he had to think of two places, one was Australia and the other was New Zealand. In this era, it seemed that these two places had not been discovered by the navigators. Or they had been discovered, but there was no large-scale colonial occupation. In any case, the Hu Ben Navy must seize these two places before other powers. These two places are paradises for animal husbandry!
However, before arriving at these two places, the Hu Ben Army would destroy the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Military Group and destroy the various powerful powers in the South China Sea. This has a very high requirement for the navy. Moreover, it should be difficult to immigrate from the Central Plains to Australia and New Zealand. It seems that if the number of immigrants in Australia is not one million, it would be impossible to develop it.
When he left Balipu, it was already evening. After dinner, Zhang Zhun habitually came out for a walk, and before he knew it, he arrived at the city tower of Shanhaiguan. He stood on the city tower and looked at the sky in the west. Through the thick darkness, the capital was there.
If Emperor Chongzhen really retreated, this vast land would belong to him. The capital would also become his home. But would Emperor Chongzhen retreat? What was Emperor Chongzhen's thought at this time?
