Chapter 118: Animals

"I want to do many things before setting sail, but some things have to be done after leaving. Your heart is moved, but I won't tell you."

Chen Mu pointed at Zou Yuanbiao with a serious expression, and then said to the remaining four people: "You will know what you are going to do when you set sail. Now you are the four of you. You know very little about Yamelica. Even Chen doesn't know much, and even Ma Shuai, who has set foot on that land, doesn't know much."

Chen Mu no longer has to say anything to Zou Yuanbiao, because Chen Mu has already understood what Zou Yuanbiao is thinking about and the starting point of his thinking.

He submitted the memorial because his heart was moved, and his nature firmly told him that it was right to do so.

He was happy and without burden because his identity was to observe government affairs before, so he observed government affairs with all his heart. Now his identity is the Yamelica County Magistrate who is controlled by the Beiyang, so he naturally only thinks about the Yamelica County Magistrate.

This is what is called the so-called "other people chop wood and want to carry water, and they want to cook rice, and they want to carry water. They just want to chop wood and carry water. They just want to carry water and want to cook rice.

Chen Mu knew that Zou Yuanbiao was extremely healthy in his mental health and his intellectual development was perfect, which was enough.

There is no need for the other Chen Mu, so naturally he doesn't have to care about it.

"What we know is that the North Asian Melica is far away from the coastline of the Ming Dynasty in the vast sea. There is a land that is no less than the Ming Dynasty, with a population of at least tens of millions, and people who look similar to us. The inner problems of the court will be solved slowly, but that land can solve the problem that the Ming Dynasty cannot solve for the time being like the South China Sea."

Canghai is the East China Sea, which can now be used to refer to Cangming Sect. The so-called Cangming Sect is not Chen Mu's statement, but the original statement. The word Cangming is mostly seen in the Zheng He era, and it actually means "the sea is very deep."

Add to it, it is the largest and deepest sea.

They knew that although the court had only been going back to sea for a few years, and the beginning of this national policy also originated from a small general back then, it had become an indispensable national policy for the country in several years. The Nanyang Military Office existed in a way that had rarely been tried in the past, namely, the military, government and business integration, which transported a large amount of benefits to the court every year.

What the court needs is not necessary to make any policy impact, and everything can be supplied within the military government.

The benefits sent to the court are not important to the people, but more and more merchants from the people have participated. Every time the military palace obtains a subjugation land, more products are transported back to the country through merchants. In this regard, the entire empire that began with the Jiajing Dynasty was completely reversed.

The Jiajing Dynasty was a pirate, so the Japanese were in trouble, while the Wanli Dynasty was a pirate and a pirate. Under the policy of maritime expansion, the interests of the government and the people were pointed to the same place.

As for what kind of impact it really has on the people, there are almost very few, but its real influence is so great that it can be seen in all aspects.

Thanks to the influx of South Pearl and Lion National gems into the market, people's habit of wearing pearls and jade gems is growing; banquets in Jiangnan and Fujian and Guangxi are becoming more abundant, and people can eat more and more; cotton and other things are cheaper, and higher productivity is spreading from Guangdong, Suzhou and Hangzhou to various places.

In terms of productivity upgrading, merchants have a higher sense of keenness than the people. As early as when the Guangzhou steam engine could not be sold, Hui merchants had already tried to buy it, but they did not use this to weave silk, but to print books.

Of all the changes, the most eye-catching thing is naturally a large number of people who have become rich with the expansion and expansion at sea.

The desperate little man brought seven or eight relatives and friends, sold the land and borrowed all relatives and friends, bought a boat with a hundred materials, and took a boat of goods to sea and sailed for a long time. Half a year later, he returned home in glory from some corner, bought a house, married a wife, had children and were rich, and he transformed into a big businessman who bought a boat and became a big businessman with thousands of family funds and could ship in Yuegang.

This kind of story is spread in every corner of the coast and becomes a topic of conversation for people after dinner.

But if these five people who came from Jinshi were really asked to explain in detail what the real "Nanyang" is, they don't know, and no one knows it.

As for the Great East and Yamelica? Everyone's face was confused.

"First of all, there will be many countries with a population of tens of millions there. Maybe it cannot be said that the country is because its development is extremely backward and is still in ignorance. Now the Europa has landed in large numbers. They call the indigenous people Indians. They read books from the previous dynasty and thought that it was India, only one step away from the Khan."

"Because the Europa people have weapons, in most cases, are stronger than the local natives, plunder and enslave the locals, and use them to weave silk, mine, log, dig, and earn a lot of wealth to enrich their national strength. What I want to say is not that the Ming Dynasty will liberate the local natives, and you did not make things right in the past."

"Although we will indeed liberate them and make things right, this is not the responsibility of the Eastern Military Office, because before that, what awaits us is danger."

"Ma Shuai's army explored from the north to the east, and landed on the northern ice field of Yamelica while the sea was frozen. It lacked heating clothes and food. Six or seven out of ten people were struggling between life and death for more than a year. Now he migrated south to have a foothold. If he argued with China, he landed in the Hanhai and had settled in the north of the Seitoui."

"Eunuch Chen from the Imperial Horse Supervisor led a fleet to transport supplies from Mashuai. When we returned, we obtained a small part of the northern coast. Yang Junzan from the Guangzhou Military Academy sailed to Europa with the fleet after the imperial court signed the Treaty of Mingxi. When he returned, he brought back a large number of coastal routes. The richest part of his land had been seized by the Europa, so you saw the Beiyang cavalry practice at night."

"That land is so big. With the snatch and encroachment of many countries in Europe, the rest are remote areas with little profit. We are decades later than them. If you want to get a piece of the pie, there will definitely be a war."

"And there is smallpox over there."

The five people looked different, but what surprised Chen Mu was cold and hunger. The war and disease did not show any fear on their faces. Some were just more cautious. Even Chen Mu's words seemed to make them determined.

Several people looked at each other, and Shen Sixiao slowly bowed with her lips, saying, "But Chen Shuai, there is silver there, right?"

The five gentlemen looked at Chen Mu and waited for him to answer. Chen Mu smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, there is silver, not only silver, but also countless interests. The land can be used for cultivation, trees can be cut down and ships, and mines can be excavated. You may not be able to return to the court in your life, but as long as you do things well, even if you don't become the governor in the future, you can still make the three generations have no worries about food and clothing."

Shen Sixiao shook his head first, then focused on it and said: "Silver and copper must be fought for, and the court's coins should not be minted outside. The ancestors said: Since ancient times, emperors have been in power in the world, and all Chinese are in China to control barbarians. Chen Shuai is relieved. The local people in this area are free and we educate them. We still look up to Chen Shuai in the war!"

Chen Mu laughed silently, "You uncle, I'll talk to you about profit, you talk to me about righteousness, who should I treat as a villain?"

But what we are talking about is indeed serious. Silver has further become a currency that the state acquiesced, and the right to mint coins must not be used abroad.

He smiled and said, "The local people are barbarians who can educate them, and the beasts who enslave them are beasts. We will drive them away and educate them. In the next few months, you must learn general translation and learn a few books that have been translated by the military government, inoculation of cowpox, survival, swimming, gunsmanship, drinking and tea."
