Regarding Su Yonglin's plan to find precious metals overseas and explore the situation in unknown areas, most people in the court expressed their dissatisfaction with this action at the beginning.

They generally believe that doing so will cost a lot of money, a lot of manpower and material resources, which will add a great burden to the court's finances.

If you cannot get enough profits, then doing so will be meaningless and it will be a waste of national funds.

A big voyage really costs a lot of money. If you want to explore just because of the unknown, this reason may not be enough to convince the public.

Exploration requires a lot of wealth, and wealth is gathered by the taxes paid by the people through hard work. Every penny should be used for valuable use. Whether it is expanding territory, civil engineering, water conservancy construction, or reclaiming new land, these are all profits and will not be wasted.

But sea navigation and ocean exploration...

To put it bluntly, if there is a storm in Shanghai, it will be a waste of money. Is it really necessary to do this?

Is it really worth it?

This view has a relatively large supporter within the court and within the Revival Association.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Europeans sailed was not only the driving force of capitalist production relations, but also because they had the actions of pioneers like Marco Polo and the stimulation of their writings.

Their pioneers have come to China and wrote books to let them know that China is a country with [spreading milk and honey and gold everywhere]. They came to find China and make a fortune.

They have clear goals.

Moreover, the earliest exploration was not a government organization, but a private exploration act. The government did not pay any fees for this and did not bear any risks.

Only when private behavior has indeed discovered broad possibilities will the government participate in the plundering, developing this private exploration into a comprehensive exploration policy of global nature, laying the foundation for subsequent plundering.

However, Su Yonglin could not say at this time that he knew that there were a large number of precious metal ore branches along the Pacific coast from North America to South America, especially silver.

He could not say that the Native Americans were rich and used gold and silver as daily necessities to make various accessories and wear them on them.

Moreover, their productivity, social organization forms and civilization forms are far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty does not use the form of war and colonization, it can still use productivity to form dimensional reduction strikes.

Use various handmade goods and agricultural products that are not available in the Americas to achieve market development, obtain excessive gold and silver from Native Americans through legitimate business models, and can also spread culture, spread revolution, establish advance teams in the Americas, and achieve national development, etc.

Anyway, because of the vastness of America, some are homeless lands, and whoever discovers first belongs to whom there is no moral burden at all.

In this way, there will be a continuous flow of gold and silver into the Ming Dynasty, adding enough gold and silver savings to the Ming Dynasty, laying the foundation for promoting monetary reform.

This is something that only Su Yonglin knows but others don’t know or believe.

Despite this, Su Yonglin used his power and prestige to forcibly promote this matter, and also said that if there is a possibility of breaking the monetary deadlock, not to mention an expedition fleet, three, four, and five can be sent out.

When the domestic situation cannot meet the needs, we must go outward and look for infinite possibilities. This is something that we will do sooner or later. Since we have the needs and ability now, why not do it, but try to reel in the back of this acre of three-point land?

Why can't we look for new possibilities?

Comrades, it is very important to open your horizons and your pattern.

With this as the core point, Su Yonglin delivered many speeches at the State Council and the Revival Society meeting, talking about the significance of commercial expansion to the economy, the significance of national territory expansion to the country, and the significance of revolutionary expansion to the Revival Society itself.

It was at this time that Su Yonglin talked about how to arrange the revolution as much as possible, and said that not only did the Ming Dynasty achieve the success of the revolution be considered a success, but the ultimate success of the whole world is to achieve the success of the revolution.

If there is still someone who is oppressed, then the ideal of the Revival Society is not considered successful. No matter where the person is, as long as he is a person, it is the goal of the Revival Society's liberation.

Is it enough to just liberate the people of China?

Did the revolution succeed?

No, no, it's not like this at all, it's far from enough.

Revolutionaries should open their horizons, open up their horizons, and look at revolutionary issues from the perspective of a world-wide chess game.

In this way, we can find that from the perspective of the whole world, although the Ming Revolution was successful and had an advantage in the region, when it comes to region and scale, it is still just a spark in the world.

And as we communicate with foreign countries increases and the degree of mutual understanding between the two sides deepens, the other's superiors will sooner or later discover the differences between the Ming Dynasty and them, and will sooner or later become afraid of the Ming Dynasty's revolution.

What will they do after that?

They will close themselves and cut off contact with us.

They are also afraid that their people will have the idea of ​​hanging their royal family and royal family on the southeast branch if they interact too much with us. They are afraid that what happened to the Ming Dynasty will happen to them, so they have to prepare for the future, even if the Ming Dynasty does not have that idea.

That is not just a problem that affects the economy.

Even if they can't beat us, will they not be self-enclosed and cut off contact with us?

We are thousands of miles apart. Can we still launch a military force to sue the expedition to ask them to open the national gate?

How much does it cost to consume manpower and material resources?

We cannot make ourselves a minority, we cannot make ourselves isolated, we cannot make ourselves an alien. We must make our friends more and our enemies less. Therefore, we have no other way except to bring the revolution to their territory and vigorously develop.

The more they are afraid, the more we should take the initiative!

Only by liberating humans in the world can we ultimately liberate ourselves.

This was the first time Su Yonglin explained his own world revolution theory, and initially explained the necessity of a comprehensive revolution from an economic perspective, and then wrote an article to publish it nationwide, which triggered a wave of heated discussions within the court and at the local revival meeting.

And thus, it was the first to open a gap in the Ministry of Finance, which had the widest vision.

A series of senior officials and senior cadres of the Revival Association made remarks to support Su Yonglin's view, believing that in the process of interacting with countries around the world, even if they are just doing business, when they truly come into contact with Ming society and Ming's revolutionary policies, they will also affect the thoughts of some people.

After the thoughts of these people are impacted and changed, they will bring unexpected impacts to their motherland.

When the rulers of the mother country realize the changes brought about by this influence, they will irreversibly feel disgust and fear of the Ming Dynasty.

This feeling of disgust and fear will prompt them to cut off contacts with the Ming Dynasty, and ban them from the government to the people in an all-round way, so as to prevent the Ming Dynasty's revolutionary ideas from spreading too deeply, affecting the interests of the ruling class, and causing revolutions in the local area.

If similar revolutionary actions occur in their homeland, they will further prompt them to resolutely cut off their exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, even if this revolution was not initiated by the Ming Dynasty on its own initiative.

Although such a problem will not occur in a short period of time, it is very likely that this situation will become a fact in ten or twenty years.

Once this situation becomes a fact and the Ming Dynasty is not prepared accordingly, it will have a profound impact on the Ming Dynasty's economy.

Don’t even think about keeping yourself safe in the Ming Dynasty.
