Chongzhen Undergraduates

The gold collected by Li Yan can be piled up into a small gold mountain. He originally wanted to transport the gold back to the country in exchange for more population and food, but Zhu Youjian did not allow it.In fact, Li Yan also understands that if so much gold is transported to Daming, it will definitely disrupt Daming's economy.

"Sir, Beijing called, saying that the emperor will arrive in San Francisco in two months." Just when Li Yan was wondering, a telegram was delivered to him.

The emperor is coming?Li Yan's first reaction was that something good is coming.

Zhu Youjian has always been a money-scattering boy, and he doesn't cry for money wherever he goes. Wherever he goes, he will definitely bring good things.

"Did you hear that? Go get more aborigines. Within two months, I will see Ligao City erected." Li Yan said to Deng Wenchang seriously.

"Come on! I'm going to catch the indigenous people now." Deng Wenchang just heard the telegram.

Outside the tent, the scene of tens of thousands of people working is very spectacular.Denver is a coal mining area, where the colonists built the first North American indigenous cement kiln, while Ligao City is a castle built with stones and cement.

It will be the outpost for the colonists to attack the eastern plains!

Chapter 722 : Everything in the world is business

It was the first time for Zhu Youjian to come to the North American continent, and he seemed very excited.

No exhaustion from a long journey at all.Maybe it's because the flagship he was riding on was too big and comfortable!

Take this opportunity to show off the latest ship of Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian: the ship is 208 meters long and 52 meters wide. Considering the comfort, the aspect ratio is 4:1; the ship is four stories high and driven by seven masts; Because of the need for more space, only forty artillery pieces were equipped.

These support superficial data, but in fact the ship was built using a steel keel, the first "modern" ship powered by a steam engine.But it is still mainly driven by sails, and the steam engine is only a backup power, so that it can help escape in time in case of an emergency.

Daming now.The technology of iron keel and steam drive has matured, but there is no financial resources to equip the army on a large scale, so it can only be temporarily stranded.

Zhu Youjian kept asking Li Yan questions from the moment he got off the boat.

"Has the food problem been solved?" Zhu Youjian asked knowingly.

"It can't be solved. If you don't go to the east bank, there will be no aborigines who can grow food. The aborigines on the west coast can only catch snakes and dig out bird nests." Li Yan said regretfully.

"I have a solution for this matter. To the south is Panama City. Our navy as big as Ming Dynasty has been idle for several years. If we don't go out for a while, Europeans will almost forget our existence." Zhu Youjian's first question is It surprised Li Yan.

"Are the horses almost exhausted?" Zhu Youjian asked again.

"Ugh! The natives haven't learned how to use horses yet, so they just use them for the chief to ride on. When they're hungry, they kill them and eat them." Li Yan looked helpless again.

"It's okay, I brought you [-] stallions this time, and I'll send another [-] Mongolian horses later." Zhu Youjian waved his hand, very generous.

"" Li Yan knew that Daming had made a fortune, and the biggest spoils on the grassland were of course war horses, but it was too scary to sell one hundred thousand horses.

"You don't have enough pigs, cows, sheep, and donkeys, do you? Next year I'll ask someone to send more." Zhu Youjian was generous.

"Stop! Is the emperor here to chill me?" Li Yan didn't bother to answer the words. The emperor is indeed a money-spreading boy, but he can't show off like a beggar.

"Hey! There's no way, who told us Daming to have so many of these things." Zhu Youjian said shamelessly.

much?Indeed more.Especially the horses. Since the grassland was attached, the pressure on the entire northern defense line has been reduced.Galdan did not escape Zeng Ying's net after all, and was caught by the Ming army who was waiting for a rabbit in Hami.Then, all the cattle, sheep, and horses in Zhungeer and Khalkha belonged to Daming.

In addition, the Ming army only needed 20 cavalry, and it didn't even want to build more.Which Central Asian country can fight against tens of thousands of cavalry?The Russians don't have the strength to invade the south for the time being, they can't even deal with Li Nian.As for the original war horses on the grassland next door, of course it would be better to confiscate them.

Based on the idea that the development of quantity is not as good as the development of quality, Zhu Youjian did not want to expand the scale of cavalry, but instead focused on the breeding of war horses.He believes that the war horses of Ming Dynasty must be new breeds and high-quality war horses in the future.As for the confiscated horses, half of them should be sent to North America, as they are just needed here.

"Your majesty, please send me some cloth first, we're almost broken." Li Yan said as he tugged at the old clothes on his body.

"Why did you forget about this. Cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River is slow to sell, and the entire North American continent has a population of several million anyway, a huge market." Zhu Youjian slapped his head.

"Who bought it? They all wear tree leaves, and the big girls are all naked." Li Yan replied.

"Instead of them, you hold a gun in one hand and a cloth in the other, and see who doesn't buy it?" Zhu Youjian said.

"What do you buy? Grain noodles? They don't even have enough to eat." Li Yan said.

"You don't know how to do business. If you send out two feet of such good cloth for free, they will come over and ask for the price. At that time, labor will be exchanged for cloth and various materials, and it will gradually become yours. It's gone." Zhu Youjian said.

In terms of marketing methods, Li Yan is really inferior to Zhu Youjian, and there are more shameless marketing methods in later generations.For example, Jiantian, who sells health care products, gives eggs to the elderly, and Cong Yong and the others attend lectures, isn't that the reason.

It would definitely not work for Li Yan to deal with the Indians with the method of advancing into the army.The best way to deal with them is, of course, to seduce them.

"Your Majesty, what is the main reason for your visit this time?" Li Yan really couldn't figure out why Zhu Youjian came to North America.

"I'm here to help you build territory." Zhu Youjian smiled.

"" Li Yan was stunned.

"The situation in Europe has changed. The dead British were defeated in the second Anglo-Dutch war. Cromwell is also dead. Their new king has ascended the throne. They are eager to save the defeat, and think of our Ming Dynasty again." Zhu You The inspection explained.

"What does this have to do with me?" Li Yan asked puzzled.

"Have you forgotten? Your east coast is the territory of the British. But they are not big now, and the British don't expect much. Let's just buy it." Zhu Youjian said.

"Buy?" Li Yan was noncommittal.

"That's right! Use the warships eliminated by my Ming Dynasty to exchange for the British to let the east coast. In this way, you will have some French left here." Zhu Youjian said.

"Can the British agree?" Li Yan didn't believe it. Who would want to spit out the meat?

"That depends on whether your side is strong or not." Zhu Youjian explained: "If you can disturb the peace of the east coast, those colonial sites will become tasteless, and it doesn't matter whether you take it or not."

Li Yan was right when he thought about it. If there were [-] cavalry running rampant on the North American continent, the other forces would be the five scum of war.However, where to get so many cavalry?

"I don't have anyone on hand, you don't want to build a native cavalry, do you?" Li Yan asked.

"Then unless I'm crazy! This aborigine is within three generations and can only farm and herd sheep. Or they are the cubs of a Ming man, otherwise you are not afraid of someone shooting black guns in the middle of the night?" Zhu Youjian looked disgusted.

"There are [-] retired soldiers in China this year. You can allocate some land for them. As long as you are generous enough, they will definitely come. Hehe!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile.

"So you're waiting for me here! Did you promise them something?" Li Yan instantly understood that Zhu Youjian must have not rewarded him for his achievements in the Battle of the Grassland, and had brought his idea to North America.

"Could it be that the horses on the prairie are taken for nothing? I won't give them to others if they want them. Don't be a good boy just to take advantage of it."

There is no business that loses money for nothing in this world. In a certain sense: everything in the world is business.

No matter how rich Ming Ming was, he couldn't fill the hole in North America for nothing.In other words, the battle on the grassland was fought for Ming Dynasty, and it was also fought for North America.Daming eliminated hidden dangers, and North America got horses; and Daming helped open up the North American territory, and at the same time, the North American market had to absorb Daming's products.

This is a win-win ecosystem, everyone is happy!

Chapter 723: Pass on the hatred

"Madding wool is not as fast as you! I'm still a lamb, and you just want to shear wool from the sheep?" Li Yan said contemptuously.

"This continent has unlimited potential, and it's a pity not to develop it. Although we can't expect rapid development, it's too slow and it's not worthwhile. The resources that can be used can't be wasted, and the opportunities that can be used can't be missed. It is up to me to fight for a place for North America." The best external environment is the only thing I can do." Zhu Youjian said sincerely.

"On behalf of the people in this land, thank you Lord Long En!" Li Yan knew that what Zhu Youjian said was right, otherwise he would not have come in person.

The gold was piled up in front of Zhu Youjian, there were ten boxes, and there were five times as much silver, which was piled up in another warehouse.In terms of the current wealth in the world, it is only gold and silver for the time being.
