Chapter 411 Let future generations lose a few more years(1/2)

No one thinks that there are too many things in their homes, and no one is unhappy to get other people's things into their homes.

Especially for time travelers like Emperor Chongzhen, he liked to visit forums in his previous life, and at least he knew some things that were not very confidential at all.

In later generations, many countries had quite a few domestic resources, but these countries often chose to spend money to import abroad and did not intend to mine them from their own country.

Just like rare earth resources, this kind of metal resource that plays an extremely important role in military, metallurgy, chemical industry, agriculture, etc. Everyone shouts that the rare earth content of the flower planter is the best in the world, and some little rabbits in the flower planter are proud of this.

But what about it?

Rare earths themselves are sold at a low price as a scarce resource.

Moreover, the exact amount of rare earth resources in other countries has not been proven.

What should I do after the rare earths of the flower farmer are sold out?

Spend a greater price to import from other countries.

Even the short-lived men in Japan were temporarily arrogant and kept transporting coal mines and other resources from the flower farm to the island.

Even if it is used for reclamation, it is actually a weakening of the flower planting family.

Emperor Chongzhen is planning to learn now.

According to what Zhu Youjian said in the memorial, this is the discovery of an open-pit coal mine with extremely large reserves on Xinming Island.

Then what else can I say? I can dig Xinming Island first, and then let Zheng Zhilong's fleet transport it to the Ming Dynasty, so as not to send people over and run away when I come back.

As for the local coal resources of the Ming Dynasty?

After a strange laugh, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "Tell Wen Tiren, Guo Yunhou came to the palace to see me."

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou are now in pain and happiness.

With an emperor like Chongzhen, he would have fewer benefits. If there is a culprit, Emperor Chongzhen would take the blame by himself and never let his men resist. He would feel very comfortable.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could not bear it, so he basically threw it away from Huang Taiji or Lin Danhan and others to carry it.

But Emperor Chongzhen is one thing that is extremely bad.

That is, when you think about it, you have to do anything when you think about it. It would be fine if you can't remember it, but once you think about it, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will feel good.

Now I hurriedly brought them into the palace to see each other, but they didn't have time to spare.

For example, how much does it involve the construction of this section of railway from Beijing to Tongzhou? It extends to Shanhaiguan from Tongzhou, and at the same time, the railway from Nanzhili is also carried out. The geographical mountains, rivers and rivers involved are crazy.

Especially Xue Fengxiang, the Minister of Works, heard that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to favor the concubine who had just gotten home. As a result, the concubine got together with a better-looking servant in the family.

Old Xue is so miserable. He is so old that he is wearing a green hat. Even the concubine and the servant have been thrown to the mass grave to feed the dogs, but this matter has been made and the hat is already worn, it is green.

The two of them, who were worried, discussed the feelings of Lao Xue after she was turned green, and headed into the palace.

After completing the normal etiquette of the Lord, Emperor Chongzhen handed Zhu Youjian's memorial to Wen Tiren, and then said, "I intend to transport the coal from Xinming Island back to the Ming Dynasty, and the coal from the Ming Dynasty is only used to supplement the insufficient number. What do you think?"

Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if it is transported back from Xinming Island, how should the price be determined?

After all, the coal mining cost in my Ming Dynasty is lower than the cost of transporting in, and the price is lower. If it is transported in large quantities from Xinming Island, I am afraid that the price of stone carbon will remain high?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "What Guo Aiqing said is exactly what I thought. However, after all, coal mining on Xinming Island does not require building mountains and mining caves. Just go directly to the ground to pick it up, and the cost is extremely low.

Moreover, the transportation to the Ming Dynasty was also transported by sea, and the transportation volume was also extremely large, so although the cost was higher, it would not be much higher."

After considering it, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. After all, the South China Sea Fleet admiral Zheng Zhi needs to return to the Ming Dynasty every time they transport immigrants to Xinming Island.

Even if you catch some fish at sea, it is actually not very useful. It is better to concentrate on bringing some coal back.

But after all, the fleet is for combat purposes and its capacity is bound to be limited. It is better to set up several fleets to be responsible for transportation."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and he had this plan. Thinking about how exciting it was to create the world's first large-scale monopoly freight logistics company.

With the mentality of not taking advantage of the situation, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered someone to summon Xue Fengxiang, the Minister of Works, to the palace.

After meeting Xue Fengxiang, Emperor Chongzhen was very sensitive to discovering that this guy looked a few years old, and his former spirit disappeared from Xue Fengxiang's face, and instead he felt a little sad.

After thinking about it, the emperor simply said, "I have heard about Xue Aiqing's family affairs. It would be a good thing for such a woman to discover it earlier, so that she would avoid causing even greater disasters in the future.

It just so happens that a group of palace maids in the palace are at the age to release them. Do I want me to assign you a few?"

If Emperor Chongzhen was not the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, he was the most noble person in the world, even if he scolded him, he would be a crime of slandering the king, Xue Fengxiang would definitely curse him.

If it weren't for the purpose of doing your job, could I have someone give me a green man?

Even if you are so bewitched, you don’t have the same kind of thing you have to ask about it in person, right?

What's more, do you want to arrange a few palace maids for me?

Regardless of whether you have enjoyed it yourself or not, at least I have to treat them as great men. Moreover, whether there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang people among them can be thought of with their toes.

Seeing that Xue Fengxiang was grateful for his kindness, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to give up this idea regretfully and talked about the main topic: "Xue Aiqing turned around and mobilized some shipbuilding craftsmen to follow Zheng Zhilong to Xinming Island.

After arriving, we will log and build ships directly on the island, and do not use the wood from the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the wood from the Ming Dynasty will also be given priority to using Xinming Island.

Those who are willing to go will give each person a settlement fee of 100 taels of silver. After the Tang King and his friends in Xinming Island have enough shipbuilding craftsmen, they can either stay in Xinming Island or return to Daming."

With the wood on Xinming Island and the existence of coal, Daming can save it.

First, you can harm the resources on Xinming Island. Once you build other places, you will harm the resources in other places. Anyway, if you can save local resources in the Ming Dynasty, you can save them.

In this way, no matter how good the descendants of future generations are, they can lose for a few more years when they start a family.

That's right, Emperor Chongzhen made this idea.

Xinming Island, which is Australia in later generations, no matter how lucky the King of Tang and others had to run there instead of India originally planned, Xinming Island is now owned by the Ming Dynasty.

Even Xinming Island belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and all the resources on the island naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty, whether it is coal, trees, or even a flower or plant.

Since it is your own thing, you don’t have to worry about using it, and there is no saying that you give money.

Even if I want to give it to you, I will give Zhu Youjian and the three vassal kings some benefits and money.

In this way, the coal used by the Ming Dynasty was from the open-pit coal mine on Xinming Island, and the ship transporting coal was made of wood on Xinming Island. The Ming Dynasty only paid some labor costs.

However, what the Ming Dynasty lacks the most is people. According to statistics from the Jinyiwei, the current population of the Ming Dynasty is definitely in a booming situation.

Especially under the policy of Emperor Chongzhen encouraging the people to have children, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to add nearly ten million more laborers in the next ten years.

Then we can select enough troops from these people, and then occupy more territory and get more resources to return to the Ming Dynasty.

This is basically a cycle, but a virtuous cycle.

The final result is that the Ming Dynasty can completely rely on its growing population and countless overseas resources to occupy the whole world.

And local resources can basically be saved.

For example, Xinming Island has coal resources, iron resources, trees, and grasslands.

The coal, trees, and iron ore of the Ming Dynasty can slowly announce the cessation of mining and cutting.

After thinking about Yang, Emperor Chongzhen simply summoned Zhang Weixian into the palace again, and the instructions given were very simple: "I ordered Zheng Zhilong's fleet to transport coal on Xinming Island, and at the same time searched for the existence of iron ore on Xinming Island. If so, I would dig it back."

Zhang Weixian quit.

Zheng Zhilong is the admiral of the Navy's South China Sea Fleet, not the captain of the transport fleet.

And the most important thing is that Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet is now more than half stronger than the East China Sea Fleet. If he continues to add ships and people, will he be too big to lose his tail in the end?

Then will it be unlucky for me, the general of the Five Army Governor's Office?

Seeing that Zhang Weixian was not thinking, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Zheng Zhilong's fleet will not expand anymore, and the scale of the East China Sea fleet will be further expanded to a scale similar to that of the South China Sea fleet. There will even be Western fleets, North China Sea fleets, etc. in the future. The burden of the Governor's Office of the Five Army is not light.

Now, there is no way to do anything. Let Zheng Zhilong's fleet transport coal and iron ore to the Ming Dynasty first. Daming himself should try not to mine it anymore.

In this way, even if the descendants of later generations lose their families, at least they have a family foundation that will make them lose for a few more years."

Emperor Chongzhen said this, and Zhang Weixian could not refuse any more, so he had to bow and answer.

Emperor Chongzhen then said to Guo Yun: "The Ministry of Revenue will set up a separate department, and in the future, it will organize a special ocean fleet to transport overseas coal and other resources back to the Ming Dynasty."

Guo Yunhou stopped doing it.

Originally, no one thought that they had too much power, but they thought that they were too little.

But the Ministry of Revenue itself has enough affairs.

What does the Ministry of Revenue do? It is the existence of controlling the country's territory, land, household registration, taxes, salary and all financial matters.

The internal government affairs are divided according to the regional division of labor. In addition to judging the capital and saving money, each department also manages some common affairs of other government offices, and its responsibilities are often intertwined.

The institutions affiliated to the Ministry of Revenue include the Money-Cast Bureau and the Baochao Bureau, which are in charge of minting coins; the Three-Cast Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue that is in charge of storage and storage.

Although the position of the Minister of Revenue is not too high, he is just a second-rank official, but after these things are piled up, Guo Yunhou has wanted to kill people in minutes.

Especially after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Ministry of Revenue had more affairs.

Nowadays, the Ministry of Revenue, let alone any household or idle person, there are not even a few mediocre people. Guo Yunhou wishes that every Ministry of Revenue is a talented person, and can handle things directly so that he can be more relaxed.

Now that this man has given him a burden to the Ministry of Revenue, this matter is absolutely not possible, otherwise I don’t know how much I will add in the future.

Will I become green on my head like Lao Xue?

Frightened and frightened, Guo Yunhou simply bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not obey the order. The Ministry of Revenue has already had a lot of affairs, and even the tax revenue for the three years of Chongzhen has not yet been clarified. The fleet is really ineffective."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Guo Aiqing has thought about it, this is an extremely important yamen."

Guo Yunhou gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty forgives your crimes, but I really dare not obey the imperial edict. I am not willing to die, but major national affairs cannot be delayed."
