Danhan thought he had a brilliant plan to make a lot of money, but then he thought about it and started a sea and trade Sumatra was not unsuccessful. As a result, Sumatra's silver was out of nowhere. Not only did he not make money, he lost countless money and displaced many people. The Ming Dynasty could make money by opening a sea, but why couldn't Sumatra?

Sudan asked for advice humbly and raised his deepest doubts about the officials of the Ministry of Rites. The minor official of the Ministry of Rites replied: "It is not only to open the sea, but also to buy goods from other countries, but also to sell them from their own goods to various countries. This is the way to communicate with each other. Is there any attractive specialty in that country?

Sudanhan shook his head repeatedly and smiled bitterly: "It was originally there, but it has disappeared since the Ming Dynasty opened up Java."

Java and Sumatra are only a narrow strait. The specialties of the two places are almost the same. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty are naturally more willing to go to Java to purchase goods. As for some handmade and industrial products, the Ming Dynasty has everything. It is almost the same to sell them to Sumatra. How can you import goods from Sumatra?

The small officials of the Ministry of Rites were also in trouble. A small country has neither industry nor commerce nor specialties, and it is difficult to be poor. He was interested in mentioning this vassal king, but he was an official of the Ministry of Rites and knew nothing about the economy. He knew everything in his mind learned from the newspapers on weekdays. He rolled his eyes, but suddenly had an idea: "Recently, Haidu Steel Factory has extremely shortage of iron ore, and various wood, coal, and clay. Can you have these in your country?"

Sudanhan said in surprise: "Some, some, Sumatra has a lot of iron ore and forests, and iron ore and wood are not a problem. As for clay and coal...what."

"This is easy to deal with. Sumatra can sell ore and wood to the Ming Dynasty. As for other materials, the king can find a few experts from the Ming Dynasty to explore. There are many such talents in Xinxue Academy, and they can be exchanged for silver if they find it."

Sudanhan nodded repeatedly. In Sumatra, there were many iron ore and forests. Because Sumatra's iron and steel and shipbuilding were very vulgar, he did not rely very much on these two minerals. Many iron ore were piled up at will and no one would mine them. Not to mention the original forest, half of the entire island is forest, and it is unknown how much wood it contains. Anyway, it is also stored. If it can be exchanged for money, it will be opened up a way of wealth.

"Thank you for your advice. Can you take Xiao Wang to contact several workshops that require iron ore and wood? After Xiao Wang goes back, he will definitely make great efforts to mine it. The price can be negotiated.

”

"There is no problem with this. I will go to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to contact you." The officials of the Ministry of Rites were happy to help him run errands. One of his cousins ​​was driving a carriage workshop. Because the wood selected for the carriage was strict, Myanmar was mountainous, but mostly low trees. When we met a few days ago, I heard my cousin complain that the price of wood has been rising again and again. If we can obtain wood through Sumatra, it would be considered as helping my cousin.

Before he knew it, Sudanhan made a precedent. From then on, Sumatra focused on digging iron ore, coal, and wood, and became the first importer of raw materials in the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty, the workshops in the Ming Dynasty were processed and shipped to various countries for high prices. After the Ming Dynasty, Sumatra also drank soup. This attracted the jealousy of all countries in the South China Sea. A few years later, almost all countries in the South China Sea were close to the Ming Dynasty.

They all started to trade like this. Various mineral raw materials were originally worthless in various countries. Workshops in various development zones in the Ming Dynasty competed to compete for it, which made all countries complacent that they had made a profit from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, a few months later, their minerals were processed through the Ming Dynasty factory and transported back to their ports. The raw materials of several silver coins per ton were transformed into industrial products and sold to them at the prices of dozens or hundreds of silver coins.

Geng Jingzhong and Shangzhixin Zhao Fu finally arrived in Haidu. Because they were in the publicity of the local area of ​​the divine newspaper, the three were all traitors from the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the welcoming ceremony was relatively simple. The local area was mentioned only in one sentence. It was said that the second feudal family and Wu Sangui's old subordinates stopped their horses and arrived in Haidu to meet. The three were arranged to enter three luxurious local carriages. Dozens of cavalry were guarding the people around. The people brought by the Ministry of Rites were separately received.

The carriage quickly passed through the straight road in front of the pier and entered the Haidu City. Then it turned around and went straight into the palace. The three of them were uneasy. After all, they were rebels. Now they fell alone to the Emperor Capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although they were sure that there would be no danger in their hearts, they were inevitably sorry for the time being.

"Emperor Geng Jingzhong Shangzhixin Zhao Fu and the other two arrived." The eunuch reminded Zhu Jun when he heard the sound.

Zhu Jun was enjoying the kneading of Qu Ci's shoulders. He opened his eyes and said, "Tell them to come in."

Qu Ci immediately and Zhou Xueer on the side were away to the back hall. Zhu Jun wore a winged crown, black gauze and folded a scarf, jade belt and leather boots, and sat in a dangerous position. He waited for the three of them to come in.

After a moment, Geng Jingzhong and Shang Zhixin Zhao Fu entered the hall side by side and saluted Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun said calmly and couldn't help but look at the three people. Geng Jingzhong seemed rough and had a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Shang Zhixin compared this.

, Zhao Fu was completely different, with a short figure and a vigorous spirit, 7[He quickly lowered his head and stood upright.

Zhu Jun said lightly: "You are here fortunately, I am here to see you."

”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although the New First Emperor's attitude was cold, it was reasonable. If there was a conspiracy to greet them with a smile, the eunuchs brought Jindun and the three of them sat down together. The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Shang Zhixin said first: "The emperor does not care about past grudges, and the ministers and others are not impressed. After all, we are still Han people. Now we are Ming, we can be regarded as recognizing our ancestors and returning to our ancestors. We will no longer be angry with the public."

This sentence was considered by Shang Zhixin for several days. Although the language was plain, it did not seem flattering, and he praised the emperor, and even scolded Manren, as if they had suffered a loss.

Zhu Jun's face barely showed some joy, thinking that the Three Feudatories were the affairs of the previous generation after all. When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and Wu Sangui became traitors, but the three people in front of him were the sons and nephews of the Three Feudatories. Since they were willing to surrender, they could not keep it too difficult. But the matter of reducing the Feudatories had to be spread out with them first. The Three Feudatories' tail would not be removed. If they don't take the opportunity to pull it out now, he will not be at ease even if he is a Northern Expedition in the future.

"It's good to be back, don't worry, those passing things have passed, and from now on, the three beloved ministers will be my subordinates of the Ming Dynasty. I hope you don't repeat the mistakes of your fathers."

The three of them relaxed. If Zhu Jun smiled and said something about the ministers of the Zhu Kingdom and did not mention the past at all, they might still suspect that they were cheating. However, Zhu Jun was so obedient and told them to not repeat it again. Instead, he felt that Zhu Jun was very sincere. Geng Jingzhong hurriedly said: "The emperor is magnanimous. If Geng Jingzhong does that shameless thing again, he will be worse than a pig or a dog."

Shang Zhixin and Zhao Fu nodded. They could not have imagined that the rumored Xinshi Emperor was so easy-going. After half of his guard, Zhu Jun chatted with them for a few words, and the three of them began to complain, saying that the underside of the Qing Dynasty was really miserable. How could they be tolerated by the Manchus and how they were despised? In fact, only one point was true at most, and at least nine points were nonsense. A vassal king, except for the few powerful ministers of the Qing court, who dared to underestimate them? The reason why they said this was just to express their feelings. They joined the new boss's disciples. At least they had to talk about how harsh and short-sighted the former boss was, and then they hurriedly expressed their loyalty to highlight how wise and powerful the new boss was. We admired them.

Zhu Jun played this trick in his school in his previous life. When he was in the Student Union, every student union president graduated, the new student union president always received various rumors from former student union presidents. Picking his nose has become a stain on people. Therefore, Zhu Jun certainly would not regard them as heartfelt words. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost done, Zhu Jun changed the subject and directly entered the topic: "Three dear friends, I have some things like a thorn in my throat. I was worried that you were reluctant. Today, it seems that all three are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so I might as well say it directly."

"Since the Ming Dynasty, no vassal kings have mastered local military affairs and separatist areas. The Qing Dynasty examples inherited by the three beloved ministers in the past have now been in power. Now that they have joined the Ming Dynasty, they cannot continue like this. Guangdong, Fujian, and Guizhou are all reorganized. I will let the three corpses in, and the vassal soldiers will also be reorganized. Geng Shang's two beloved ministers are still kings, and Zhao Fu can be named the Marquis of Guiyang, and the two veterinary families are hereditary. In addition, I have issued an iron scroll and alchemy book. As long as the three descendants do not rebel, they can enjoy wealth and honor for generations. I swear here that if there is a false statement, it will harm their descendants."

Zhu Jun is honest enough. Don’t want the army, and don’t think about government affairs. Be a prince with peace of mind.

Geng Jingzhong looked at each other happily and immediately felt something was wrong. At first they thought the new emperor was honest enough, but now they seemed to be too frank. Isn’t this the Ming version of the vassalization?

Zhao Fu lowered his eyebrows and pondered. He was just an admiral, a second-class viscount of the Qing Dynasty. Now he was named a marquis in the Ming Dynasty. This is indeed a good thing. Although he had to hand over military and political power, it would not have much impact on him. After all, his status is not high, so he does not have such great ambitions. If he could be a rich man with peace of mind and hold a golden rice bowl, his descendants would have no worries about food and clothing. He secretly glanced at Geng Jingzhong Shang Zhixin's face. Seeing that their faces were ashen, he was obviously dissatisfied. He was wearing a pair of pants with them. Are he standing aside with them now or agreeing to the conditions of the Xinshidi Emperor?

Geng Jingzhong Shangzhi remained silent. Now that he is in the capital, if he says no, he might have to fall to the ground. Therefore, the two of them neither agreed nor shook their heads stupidly. They just pretended that they had not heard it, but they were thinking about various ways to get out of trouble.

Zhao Fu's heart was full of contradictions. He had a golden rice bowl, and many people would not be able to become a marquis in their lifetime.
