"The siege army temporarily formed by the Japanese province yamen to break through Kurokawa Castle, razed the Tenshou Pavilion to the ground, killed more than 2,000 rebel samurai warriors, and captured thousands of samurai. The defeated samurai group retreated to Yamagata Castle, Nagaoka Castle and other places. The siege army pursued them all the way, and successively conquered Yamagata Castle and Nagaoka Castle and other samurai groups. The northeast was all smooth. At present, the samurai rebels fled to Hokkaido, which was formerly known as the Essay. At this point, the power was released, and the Fourth Fleet was preparing to land on Hokkaido to pursue the remnants of the Japanese province." Officials from the Military Information Department reported to Chu Yun about the battle situation in the Japanese province.

At present, there are basically small-scale rebellions and the extermination of bandits left over from the late Ming Dynasty. Only Japan attracted the most standing troops and the most military expenditure of the Jiuzhou Army. War is no longer about the number of killers, but about the smallest cost to achieve the established purpose.

"The gold and silver mine reception work in Japan has also begun. The exploration team of the University of Geosciences will present a detailed report at the subsequent meeting. In addition to the cost of mining, purification and transportation, the remaining income of the gold and silver mines received belongs to the finance department," the official said.

"I understand." Chu Yun was very calm on the surface, but was still quite excited inside.

Japan is currently the largest silver producer in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is no exaggeration to say that the supply of silver in East Asia during this period was Japan. The Spanish gradually came from behind after obtaining the silver mines in South America.

Much of the funds that often broke out between Daming in the Warring States Period came from the development of these gold and silver mines. Some people even believed that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had the confidence to attack Goryeo and annex the mainland after occupying a large number of gold and silver mountains.

After reporting to Chu Yun the latest telegram sent by Japan, officials from the Military Intelligence Department stepped down.

"The Japanese province was established, and next, let merchants go to deal with Europe to explore ways, while burying their heads to develop more advanced technologies." Chu Yun basically solved the problem of many vassal states in East Asia, and understood that the territory and sea areas he controlled were too large, and it was easy to conquer the world and difficult to govern the world. He also needed to lead officials from the New Six Ministry and various special institutions to realize their own territory and export Han culture to the newly conquered territory, especially in the face of the local teenagers and young children who have just begun to speak and read.

However, the promotion and output of Chinese culture may take several generations or even dozens of generations to achieve effect. Currently, Chinese merchants need to be proficient in translation of local dialects in the East, South China and other places.

Not to mention the East and South China, even if the dialects of different parts of the mainland are different, merchants from the south may not be able to understand each other's conversations when they go to the north. Where there are dense dialects, there is no way to understand each other's words between two villages more than ten miles away.

Therefore, it takes years and months to make the empire have a common language, which minimizes the costs of trade and communication.

Chu Yun thought that in the future, we must improve various legal systems, develop, popularize scientific and technological achievements, and build them slowly to make the foundation deeper.

It is estimated that when the West realizes how powerful the Eastern Empire is, the technology behind Chu Yun has surpassed many generations of this era, especially biplane, internal combustion engine, and petroleum technology.

Biplane, internal combustion engine, and petroleum technology are mostly the affairs of the Second Industrial Revolution and are still in the laboratory, while the steam era of the First Industrial Revolution is becoming popular.

"The little guy is so good." A woman in the backyard was teasing a furry, bony-tailed kangaroo with fresh leaves.

The short-tailed kangaroo was just the same size as a cat, stretching out his short hands to grab the tender leaves. But the woman didn't want it to get delicious food so quickly, but shook the leaves and made the chunky short-tailed kangaroo run around.

"This little guy has gradually adapted to life in our yard." Chu Yun squatted down and stroked the fur of the short-tailed kangaroo with his hands.

The short-tailed dwarf kangaroo brought by the Oceania Expedition has become a pet in Chu Yun's mansion and can freely move in the yard.

"The members of the Intelligence Department in Guangzhou Prefecture have sent a telegram, and the British envoys arrived in the capital soon. Although they have not arrived yet, they have already explained in advance that Charles I has agreed to your trade treaty by the Lord of the Army." Ella did not continue to tease the chubby-tailed kangaroo this time, but said while staring at the chubby-tailed kangaroo.

"I also learned about this. It doesn't matter whether Charles I agree or not. It's just that opening up the European market will take several years or more than ten years. When the domestic market gradually becomes saturated and the prices of labor and raw materials rise, merchants will look overseas and pursue higher interests. That is, we do not actively explore other parts of the world, and merchants will also lobby officials and urge the government to organize the voyage." Chu Yun said.

"Mr. Master, what you said is that in the Age of Discovery, those who are active in the farthest direction are always merchants and adventurers who seek benefits, just like Li Jinde ventured with his own private cargo ship after hearing about the situation in Europe." Aira, who once lived in the early stage of the Empire of Sun Never Setting, agreed with this.

"By the way, about Da Yu'er..." Chu Yun looked at Ella with some hesitation and embarrassment.

"Everything in this empire is owned by Lord Jung. There is an Eastern tradition. Lord Jung. You can do whatever you want." Ella also looked at Chu Yun.

The two of them have been together for a long time and know each other's thoughts.

"Silly girl, everything that is owned by a person may be a good thing to that person, but for a country, the nation is not a good thing. I will think of another way to do about Da Yuer, and maybe the system will make further compromises." Chu Yun said helplessly.

The system needs to erase Da Yu'er's consciousness to avoid being discovered. Chu Yun negotiated with the system. It seems that taking a concubine is a solution that the system can barely accept, so that the system believes that Da Yu'er who vaguely realizes the existence of the system can be controlled. However, Chu Yun does not want to compromise with the system so easily. If he uses the system to save an indigenous people in this world and wants to take a concubine, it is equivalent to prohibiting him from using the system's advanced medical technology to treat injured generals and important figures in the future. Especially if the other party is a woman, Chu Yun can't do it even more if the man is even more unsuccessful.

"Miss Da Yuer is also very pitiful. If it were based on European standards, she was not old at all, but in the East she seemed to have become a woman. Isn't it a good thing for you to accept her admiration?" Ella said again.
