Hearing Military Advisor Zhuge mention the "golden vassal state", Emperor Zhu laughed and said, "Commander Zhuge, do you also know about the discovery of gold in Fugui Bay?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere in the map room of Wuying Palace suddenly became lively!

The new Ming Dynasty elders present all showed happy smiles... What gold! Everyone is happy to see it!

And this new continental vassal kingdom full of gold came at the right time!

It has been fifteen or six years since the Ming Dynasty reopened, and the second generation of the new Ming Dynasty is almost growing up. Although the population growth of the new Ming Dynasty is still slow, the old heroes of the new Ming Dynasty, including eunuch Pang

Including Mr. Yu, all of them have a lot of sons!

No matter how these sons were born, they, the fathers, have to arrange their futures. Since Emperor Zhu learned the lesson from the previous "failure to raise pigs", he was very tight on titles and hereditary official positions. He would rather reward a little more money.

Industrial shares are given to the meritorious officials below, and they are unwilling to open the door to hereditary inheritance. Even those great meritorious officials who have obtained the iron scroll of the hereditary alchemy book can only have one son who can ascend the title, and the others are all white sons and have to fight on their own.

! Otherwise, you will be a rich man for the rest of your life.

Regarding Emperor Zhu's insistence, to be honest, the people below him had some opinions.

It's just that Emperor Zhu Da has a high prestige and has made his subordinates rich, so this opinion can still be suppressed.

In addition to the nephews and nephews of these great heroes, these great heroes also have a large number of disciples and old disciples... The career of the Zhu family and his sons was a "partnership" when they were founded, such as Zheng Jing, Qiu Hui, and Chen Shangchuan.

Those who joined with troops and territory. Even Eunuch Pang, Mr. Yu, Yang Qilong and others have a large number of subordinates. Even Su Yong and Da Bo Ling, who are part of the founding team of Dananshan, have their own group of people.

Since ancient times, few of those who have become great heroes are solitary ministers. Most of them have a group of good family members and nephews to help them.

Of course, those who are fathers and bosses have to worry about the future of their nephews and disciples.

In addition to their nephews and disciples, most of these veteran heroes also had clans to take care of. Even Emperor Zhu himself established a Chaozhou Zhu clan.

Although these clans that are closely related to the honorable ministers do not have any special privileges, they are living a good life under the care of the honorable ministers and elders, and they have continued to add more and more people in the past ten years. The number of most of the clans has increased from the original seven to eight hundred.

The population has increased to nearly 1,300, and it is still growing.

Although there is still enough land in the Ming Dynasty to be allocated to these feudal clans, according to the land equalization system of the Ming Dynasty, if these clans want to obtain new land, they usually have to demolish and relocate... because these clans

Most of the clans are settled in Guangdong and Fujian. Although the populations of these two provinces are not large, they are not as small as those of Sichuan and Liaodong. Moreover, Zhu Heji implemented the land equalization system in these two provinces in one step.

A lot of land will be reserved for those who have not yet been born.

Therefore, after the completion of land equalization more than ten years ago, there is no additional fertile land that can be distributed to the new population. Even the "quasi-royal" clans such as the Xunchen clan and the Chaozhou Zhu surname cannot obtain it in their own hometown.

Extra land - because the land near their clan settlements belongs to other clans, and everyone is a clan that sticks together for warmth. Internal struggle is one thing. If the clan next door comes to grab food, it must be unanimous to the outside world.

.Besides, "equalize the land and not sell it" is written into the "Ming Dynasty Covenant"!

Therefore, no matter what kind of powerful clan, if they want to get new land, they can only split up the clan and move out... But Chaozhou people and Hokkien people don't really want to go to Sichuan or Liaodong. Sichuan is too big for them.

It is closed off, and Liaodong is too cold. For Chaozhou people and people from southern Fujian who like to go overseas to do business and make a lot of money, going to Sichuan and Liaodong is not as good as Nanyang.

But Nanyang is also a land of miasma. Although money is easy to make, the probability of death from illness is still a bit high, which means exchanging lives for money. It is not a particularly ideal place for those clans with a bit of family business.

Even if they want to go, they won't be able to enclose large tracts of land. The most they can do is invest some money to develop some projects in a few transportation hubs.

And this big gold mine in Fugui Bay in the New World looks a bit greedy... But the territory in the New World has been divided between the American King and the American Khan, and the people below don't know how to ask if they want to share some points.

!

Therefore, although the atmosphere in the map room was quite warm, everyone was too embarrassed to speak and just looked at King Zhu Tian.

"Baby," the old king, who was already sixty years old, said to his son with a smile at this time, "We all know that Fugui Bay in the New World is full of gold... so much gold.

, Fuguizi can’t dig it out alone, should we let everyone help dig it out together?”

Fu Gui Zai is Zhu Yimei's nickname. He was not that rich at first. After the news of the discovery of a large gold mine in Fugui Bay spread back to the Ming Dynasty, the nickname "Fu Gui Zai" came about.

Although the news of the discovery of gold in Fugui Bay has not been officially released, Zhu Heji has already let those who should know know through various channels - he does not want people to swarm to Fugui Bay, the navy and

Nanyang Trading Company does not have that much shipping capacity.

And if the common people knew it, then the Westerners would definitely know it too. With gold as motivation, New Spain might be able to send tens of thousands of troops to invade Fugui Bay.

Therefore, the interests of Fuguiwan Gold still belong to "insiders"!

Of course, now only these "insiders" can devote enough manpower, material resources and force to jointly develop the El Dorado in the New World.

And if the manpower, material resources and force of these "insiders" were all invested in the New World, it would be difficult for them to make waves in the Ming Dynasty... This is a win-win situation!

If the Ming Taizu in history could also have a new continent and send some of the close relatives and clans under these heroes out to weaken their strength, then there would be no need to kill the heroes.

Even if someone really doesn't like it, just block him out from a distance.

Emperor Zhu glanced around the map room and took in a panoramic view of the faces of the heroes of the Ming Dynasty who were laughing so hard from ear to ear. Well, they were all quite pleasing to the eye, and they probably wouldn't turn into traitors.

...

Then he himself laughed and said to King Zhu Tian: "Abba, you are right, there is indeed a lot of gold in the New World. Not only is there gold in Fugui Bay, but many surrounding indigenous tribes also gave gold to our people.

..... The local aboriginals do not know how to dig for gold. They just pick up gold casually. They can pick up gold casually, which means that Fugui Bay is just above the gold veins, and there must be huge gold mines underground.

!”

A huge gold mine!

The group of heroes below all laughed at the scene.

Emperor Zhu suddenly transformed, as if he had become a real estate developer, and began to vigorously promote New World real estate to the heroes present.

He introduced with a smile: "In addition, the two Mongolian families also discovered a valley that is often flooded to the west of Fugui Bay. It is now called the Flood Valley. There is also a valley several hundred miles long to the north of the Flood Valley.

The seemingly fertile river valley was named Futian River Valley. A large seaside grassland with abundant water and grass was also discovered thousands of miles south of Fugui Bay, and was named Dahaizi Grassland.

This nearly three thousand miles of land starting from the Futian River Valley in the north and ending at Dahaizi Grassland in the south is a place with fertile land, abundant water and grass, and a pleasant climate. There may be gold veins hidden underground, and they are all on the seaside. The transportation is

It's quite convenient... Moreover, these good places are ownerless. Only a few indigenous people who can't even make wheels live there. Their weapons are only stones and sticks, which are basically vulnerable!

"

At this point in Zhu Heji's words, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the taste has changed a bit.

What does it mean to be vulnerable? What are you doing? Are you going to kill someone?

Before the people below could react, Zhu Heji suddenly said in a serious tone: "Do you intend to open up a manor and build a city on these three thousand fertile lands to build a lasting legacy for future generations?"

To create a lasting legacy for future generations?

What is this for?

Should your descendants be lords or kings?

These loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty were speechless.

"Hahaha, this is a good thing that I could only ask for! I have so many sons, and now they all have a good place to go!"

While all the loyal ministers remained silent, Emperor Zhu's father took the lead in speaking.

The old man touched his "Guan Erye" version of the five-locked beard and said with a smile: "Thanks to my ancestors, I have twenty-two sons...except for one who became the emperor, and the other sons

They all have to be arranged! Even though they have developed Kinshu Tenno Castle, Toboshu Tenno Castle, Nagoya Tenno Castle, and Hokkai Tenno Castle, they can only arrange for four sons to be the city lords. There are still seventeen sons who cannot be left without food.

Eat! Now it’s great, we have a place to arrange it!”

What?

No food to eat?

Zhu Heji glared at his father angrily...Twenty-two sons! He became the emperor, and one became the king of Tang Dynasty. The other twenty sons are all county princes, although they cannot be hereditary.

Although the king of the Tang Dynasty could be hereditary, he would not be without food!

And King Zhu Tian is very good at making money!

The "brand" of Tianwang City has been established, and now it has been opened as a "chain city"... This is the largest real estate developer in the world today!

There is also the Penglai Bank that is developing very well. It is now the third largest bank in the Ming Dynasty after the Dongchang Guan Bank and the Nanyang Bank!

With real estate on one hand and finance on the other, King Zhu Tian has almost become the God of Wealth, and now he is actually worried that his sons will starve to death... What a father's love that is truly boundless!

King Zhu Tian is a good father, and Zhu Heji must be a good brother. He immediately patted his chest and said, "We have all made arrangements to go to the New World! Dad, don't worry. As an older brother, I will make good arrangements for my brothers.

They sealed it off to a good place with a gold mine."

King Zhu Tian smiled and waved his hand and said: "Forget about the gold mine, our family can't take advantage of this good thing... With the three thousand miles of coastline, there should be many places where we can build ports and commercial ports. As a father, we can't let our whole family take advantage of it..."

Let people build a few cities of the Heavenly King, and then send the Penglai Silver Ship there."

King Zhu Tian is getting better and better at doing business!

No matter how good the business of digging for gold is, it is not as good as building cities and opening banks on the west coast of the New World!

The gold dug out by others was either remitted back to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty through banks, or properties were purchased in cities in the New World... Isn't this all Zhu Tianwang's business?

Zhu Tianwang paused, and then said to his son: "Azai, my father is going to go to Nagoya Tenno Castle to take charge... With Nagoya Tenno Castle supporting the logistics of the New World, the speed of opening up the New World will definitely be accelerated.

Times!"

"Okay!" Zhu Heji nodded solemnly, "With my father in charge of Nagoya, I can rest assured that the logistics of opening up the New World will be worry-free! When I turned around, I sent Anu to Beijing to take charge of the Shunyi Palace and mobilize all the Mongolian immigrants, cattle, sheep and horses.

!”

At this time, Zheng Jing immediately patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, our Nanyang Trading Company can help us with transporting immigrants, horses, cattle and sheep. I will turn around and order people to prepare fifty, no, a hundred large ships, specifically for the New World.

route!"
