In the Lord's Mansion of All Saints City, the interrogation of the former lord Earl Alfonso is continuing.

This guy was crazy at the beginning, but now he is as obedient as a grandson, basically asking whatever he asks.

There was no way. The generals and these damn mercenaries of the Ming Empire seemed to have no nobles in their eyes. If someone asked him if he would dare to answer honestly, it would be a beating!

He was really fighting, and he was still fighting to the death, as if he wasn't afraid of beating him, the nobleman, to death.

He became honest after being beaten like this.

Now he says whatever people ask him. Without asking him, he just sits honestly and doesn't dare to move.

In the huge conference room, Desera and several of his confidants were sitting on both sides of the conference table, flirting with the seized information. Luo Sigong, who was sitting in the main seat, was staring at the map of the Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction and frowned and pondering.

This seems to be a little troublesome.

Luo Sigong frowned and stared at the map for a while before slowly raising his head.

At this moment, the colony of Natal should be controlled by them, because there were not many lords stationed here, and the Holy City was taken down by them. As for the farms around him, he also sent more than ten hundred families and a large group of troops to take them over.

In other words, he has almost completed the first mission, and there will be no problem with the subsequent army even if it comes here now.

At this moment, Qi Panzong also took the Oriental Navy Fleet back to report the message, leaving only ten ASCH ships and one hundred and twenty Wolf-fanged warships at the port terminal to guard them.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have been so anxious to let Qi Panzong lead the fleet back, because from the captured map, it seems that he can't walk by land!

Luo Sigong sighed secretly, then asked: "Why are there no land passages between your terrain? Is it because of the terrain or because there are Indian tribes in the middle?"

This is really strange, because there are very few land passages marked between more than ten colonial territories under the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor, and there is no land passage to other territories.

After hearing Desera's translation, Alfonso quickly explained: "We can't do anything about this, because there are primitive jungles everywhere here, and there are Indian tribes everywhere in the jungle. Basically, all territories are surrounded by primitive jungles. It's too difficult for us to open up land passages."

No way?

Luo Sigong looked at the map carefully again, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

The areas marked in detail on this map are less than 30% of the entire Brazilian Governor's jurisdiction, and all are areas close to the coastline, and other places are basically blank.

Could it be that more than 70% of the remaining areas are primitive jungles?

He thought for a while and asked again: "You said you can't open a land passage. How did you settle this border? You can't get through it. Why did you place such a large area into the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor?"

Uh, you guys are afraid that you haven't snatched the colony?

We saw this colony first and our territory!

Alfonso could only explain carefully: "These are areas we have sent ships to explore. These areas have never been set foot in other countries in the continent, so they naturally belong to our Brazilian Governor."

When Luo Sigong heard this, he looked at the map carefully and then found that there were still winding rivers in the blank area on the map, but there were no marks on both sides of these rivers.

Maybe this guy is just a simple map of the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor, and a more detailed map should be in the hands of the Governor Bragansa.

He thought for a while and asked again: "The unmarked areas on this map are all primitive jungles?"

Alfonso nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, any unmarked area is a primitive jungle."

Oh my God, more than 70% of such a large area are primitive jungles, is it possible?

This can only be carefully investigated later.

Luo Sigong thought about it and asked again: "What minerals are there in the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor General?

You know where it is roughly?”

The emperor had already told me before this, and they would better find out where the mines are hidden here, as if the iron ore here is the largest in the entire America and even the entire world.

Unexpectedly, Alfonso shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that there is no mineral deposit in the jurisdiction of the Brazilian Governor."

Oh, you dare to be honest, you are afraid you are not beaten up hard enough!

Luo Sigong couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Don't think we don't know that there are many iron ore here, and you dare to be honest?"

When Alfonso heard this, he was frightened and said, "Iron ore? The iron ore seems to be near Rio de Janeiro to the south. That thing is worthless. Moreover, it has always been the Spanish that asked us to mine, so we have never made money from that thing."

Is iron ore worthless?

What do you rely on to make money if you don’t steal minerals?

This is the first time he has heard this fresh word.

Luo Sigong said in confusion: "Do you mean you have not found any valuable minerals if you occupy such a large colony? Then how do you make money, and the sugarcane you planted on the farm?"

In fact, the continental sugar business is indeed very profitable now.

Because many foods in continental Europe need to be filled with sugar, such as bread, biscuits, milk tea, coffee, etc. Sugar is an important seasoning for them.

Moreover, the continent does not produce sucrose itself, and if you want to eat sucrose, you can only grow it in these tropical colonies.

Upon hearing this, Alfonso couldn't help but say weakly: "This sucrose can indeed make some money, but we mainly don't make money by relying on this."

Luo Sigong couldn't help but ask: "Then why do you make money?"

Originally, he was not so anxious to figure out what others were making money, but now that he has asked this, he naturally has to ask clearly.

Unexpectedly, Alfonso said with confusion: "We just rely on Brazil to make money. Don't you know this?"

Uh, make money on Brazil?

What does this mean?

It seems that it makes sense to colonize Brazil to make money.

But, this is equivalent to not saying the same thing!

Don't you fart after taking off your pants?

Luo Sigong couldn't help but say curiously: "What does Brazil mean?"

This question is not Alfonso, but Desera who is translating on the side.

Desera said without hesitation: "Brazil means red wood in Portuguese."

Red wood!

If it were the Ming Dynasty before the Yongle Dynasty, almost no one knew what the red wood represented.

However, since Zheng He of the Yongle Dynasty went to the West to bring various mahogany back to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has gradually set off a craze for the production of mahogany furniture, and the price of mahogany has become increasingly high.

Now the price of high-end rosewood and rosewood is almost as good as the silver!

Luo Sigong is the commander of the Jinyiwei. He has copied countless corrupt officials and other companies, so he naturally has a considerable understanding of the price of this mahogany.

The Portuguese colonists actually made money by mahogany. This means that there is a lot of mahogany here?

What is the quality of the mahogany here?

If there are high-quality rosewood and rosewood, it would be amazing. One piece is worth hundreds or thousands of taels or even thousands of taels!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say a little excitedly: "Where are the mahogany you collected?"

Alfonso said without hesitation: "The mahogany we collected is piled next to the dock, you should have seen it?"

Well, the piles of wood next to the pier are all mahogany?

It's impossible!

Of course he saw the mountain of wood next to the pier.

However, he didn't care.

Because wood is so common these days, there are so many jungles here, so it is normal for people to cut down wood and transport it to the continent to build ships and build houses.

The Ming Dynasty is not short of wood at this time. After all, both the South and the East are produced in wood, especially in the South and the South Asian countries. Many large islands are densely packed with primitive jungles, and there is not too much wood.

How could he have thought that the mountain of wood would be mahogany?

True or fake?

Luo Sigong was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Take him down first."

After saying that, he got up and walked out quickly.

Not long after, he brought a few personal guards to the dock.

At this moment, the pier and the city walls were very cautious, but there was no one in this place where the pile of wood was built.

There is no way. The wood here is at least two feet square, thicker than a person's waist. Once it rolls down, it will kill people. Who dares to stand nearby?

Luo Sigong couldn't believe that these were mahogany.

How much is it worth if it is such a thick piece of wood?

He walked to a pile of wood that was taller than a man, pulled out his sword, scraped off a piece of soil at the broken wood, and looked carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It's so red that it's purple, uu reads books www.uukanshu.com Is this purple sandalwood?

He quickly scraped open the soil at the broken edge of the wood next to him and looked carefully. It was really red and mostly red and purple.

My God, how much would it be worth if it was transported back to the Ming Dynasty!

Brazil means red wood, so why haven’t you heard of Brazilian mahogany before?

This is actually not surprising at all.
