My Daming New Empire

Aborigines in Australia are called the Negrito race, and they are not actually native races.When Europeans migrated to the Australian mainland, the total population was about 75.

With a population of 75, compared to a continent of more than 700 million square kilometers, there is only one person per ten square kilometers on average, which can be described as sparsely populated.

Zhu Zhanji never thought of genocide, because it is a great waste of resources.

In today's world, there are few lands, and there is no development anywhere, and it is very slow to develop these areas only by the Chinese.

Zhu Zhanji said: "The population of Nanzhou is very small, and only my county in Daming has a similar population. Therefore, we don't need to occupy the land of these natives, but should integrate them into our Han ethnic group just like the Southwest Shanyi."

Xue Lu laughed and said: "Those natives are like pigs and dogs, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Everyone burst into laughter, but Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I have been a soldier for three years, and a sow is better than Diaochan. These men are thousands of miles away from home and have no other female relatives. I am afraid that as long as they are women, they will be moved. Nanzhou is far away. , the land is barren, and only the southeast coast has fertile land. Of course, the initial development is based on the development of gold mines. We need to formulate detailed strategies to naturalize these natives into our Han family in 20 years. Children."

But no one answered this question, because this kind of thing is clearly to endure hardship, and no one can make up this decision to leave home thousands of miles to settle here for a while.

It is also for this reason that Zhu Zhanji never thought of developing it by himself at all. Here, it is the most appropriate method for Zhuang Jing to lead the Japanese to stand in front, and then divide it up so that those clans can develop it themselves.

As long as there is guidance from the imperial court to give up most of the benefits, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

Even if half of the profits from the gold mines here are given to them, most of the profits can be returned to the court through trade.

When some generals heard what Zhu Zhanji said, they couldn't help but think of the population trade that Ji Gang was conducting now.

Although the imperial court did not directly participate in the trafficking of Dongying girls, this was just a sliver of face for the imperial court.Ji Gang is now in Japan, and the population trade is in full swing. If there is no support from the imperial court, no one will believe it.

The profit of human trafficking to Ming Dynasty is not too high, but if we vigorously develop Nanzhou in the future and sell those female relatives to Nanzhou, it will definitely be huge profits.

However, it is still too early to find a large gold mine in Nanzhou.

The foundation of developing Nanzhou lies in gold mines. Without gold mines, no one would be willing to travel across the ocean to live in Nanzhou.

Not to mention Nanzhou, even the rice in the Nanyang area is cropped three times a year, and no one is willing to migrate to Nanyang without worrying about starvation.

If you want to go to Nanzhou, this is not a long distance, it will be a long journey.Fresh water reserves during the journey are very important supplies.

Zhu Zhanji ordered Zheng He and Zhu Zhen to store all the water tankers full of fresh water, as well as Nanyang specialty coconuts and various fruits, which have also become important reserve materials.

The meeting went on until the evening before Zhu Zhanji sent everyone away and returned to the small building where he lived.

The weather in Xingcheng was too hot. Except for Liu Chenghui who lived in Huizhou in the early years, the other concubines who came with them all lost their summer and lost a lot of weight.

Especially Shen Dai'er, who has suffered a serious illness in the past few days and is still recovering from her illness.

Zhu Zhanji went to the small building of several concubines to greet him, and then asked the waiter to prepare a meal and have dinner with Ma Xin.

Before he could sit still, Li Liang came to report that Prince Mogoi of Maluku asked to see him.

It was rare for Ma Xin to be alone with Zhu Zhanji. Hearing Li Liang's report, he pursed his lips unhappily. "These barbarians really don't know a little bit of rules. They know that it's dinner time, but they come to ask for an audience."

Zhu Zhanji pinched her little face, and said with a smile: "Since I asked to see you, there must be something. I will send him away, and I will come back to have dinner with you."

Although he complained, Ma Xin's movements were not slow.He took a robe and helped Zhu Zhanji put it on, combed his hair, and sent him out the door.

The Maluku Kingdom is also a rather sad country. Since they formed a large indigenous power in the eighth century, they have been ruled by the major overlords in Southeast Asia.

From the Kingdom of Kediri, to the Kingdom of New Keshali, and to the current Majapahit Kingdom, they have taken turns to become the suzerainty of Maluku.

Until the later twentieth century, the Maluku Kingdom has been seeking independence, but without success.

When Zhu Zhanji decided to vigorously develop the Spice Islands, he decided to support the independence of the Maluku Kingdom.The rich spices here will become an inexhaustible gold mine at least in the next few hundred years.

Therefore, the Maluku Kingdom has also become Daming's loyal henchman, relying on Ming to deter Majapahit who is eyeing them.

In this battle of Bengkulu, most countries in Southeast Asia were frightened, but the envoys of the Maluku Kingdom were extremely pleasantly surprised.

For them, the greater the power of Ming Dynasty, the safer their country will be.

When he came to the meeting hall, Mogoy, who was standing outside the door, saw Zhu Zhanji approaching in a hurry, so he knelt down to welcome Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji showed a smile, helped him up with his own hands and said: "Even in my Ming Dynasty, except for important occasions, I don't need to kneel down to greet you. Ai Qing doesn't need to be polite..."

This Mogoi stood up, and said: "Xiao Wang came to visit this time to ask His Highness for permission to allow my royal family to go to the Ming Dynasty to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji didn't agree to him directly, and took him into the hall before asking: "Didn't you agree to return to Ambon with me, why did you change your mind?"

The Maluku Kingdom had always been a vassal of the Majapahit Kingdom, and because of their weakness, they simply did not have the ability to build large ships.

This Star City gathering, just like Zhu Zhanji, the leader of the alliance, issued a convening order for the Jianghu, holding a gathering meeting.

The largest ship in the Malugu Kingdom is only four hundred shi. When it came to Star City, the Ming Fleet sent a warship to pick it up.

When they arrived in Xingcheng, Zhu Zhanji saw that they were pitiful, and gave them a merchant ship worth two thousand shi.

For this country, Zhu Zhanji has no idea of ​​focusing on supporting it. The main reason is that they have a small population and rich resources.

The area of ​​the Maluku Kingdom includes the North and South Maluku Islands, as well as the eastern area of ​​Sulawesi. There are not many natives here, so it is a good place for immigrants.

Zhu Zhanji also wants to vigorously develop immigration in the future, so that after decades or hundreds of years, the number of local Chinese will soon occupy the mainstream.

And now the spice trade in Daming is huge profits. When spices are harvested in the Spice Islands, they are bought at the price of cabbage. When they arrive in Daming, they can be sold at the price of meat. When they arrive in Europe, they can be sold at the price of gold.

Therefore, in order to monopolize the trade for a long time and keep them from knowing the profits of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji did not allow the Maluku people to go to Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Mogoy said softly: "My father has the support of the Great Ming Kingdom, and he has secured the throne. The entire Maluku has long admired the Great Ming Kingdom. In addition to envying the prosperity of the Shang Kingdom, they have also admired the Ming culture for a long time. That's why my father asked us to worship Shangguo Yang Zhongguan as our teacher and learn the knowledge of Shangguo. It's just that Master Yang is only proficient in literature and ink. He told us that if we want to learn the real literature of Shangguo, we must go to Yingtianfu. learned."

The master Yang he was talking about was actually Yang Shuangcheng, the eunuch in charge of purchasing spices. Although this person could teach Chinese and some basic etiquette, he was of course not worth mentioning when it comes to literary talent.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, stared into his eyes and asked, "I mean, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

He didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanji, bowed his head and said: "His Royal Highness, with great love, gave me a huge boat of two thousand stones. With the huge boat, Xiao Wang has the idea of ​​going to Daming to study."

It turned out that the problem was still with him. Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Da Ming, you don't have to go for the time being. With this ship, you can come to Star City directly from Maluku to trade in the future. If you need anything, please report it to me. The inner prison here, and then they will provide you with various commodities, including books.

This time you accompany me back to the country, when I come back from the West, I will take you to Daming. At that time, you don't have to be afraid of the wind and waves at sea, and you don't need to worry about other countries snatching ships. "

Zhu Zhanji's words reached this point, of course Mogoy didn't dare to make his own claim and agreed.

After sending him away, Zhu Zhanji asked someone to call Sun Lin, and told him, "Help me investigate the situation of the Maluku people and find out whether they are dissatisfied with the current purchase price. If there is such a reason , let someone properly mention the purchase price of the spices."

Zhu Zhanji is not a person who exhausts his resources and fishes, and has always advocated hand in hand.

It is not beneficial to the development of business if all the money is earned by one family. Only when everyone has money in their hands can the business environment be better.

On the second day, the Ming Fleet began to assemble in the early hours of the morning, and at dawn, Zhu Zhanji led the crowd to board his flagship.

The Royal Dragon Flag, the Taisun Four-clawed Golden Dragon Flag, the Navy Flag, and the Army Flag were hoisted on the flagship in turn.About one-third of the entire fleet and half of the crew will follow Zhu Zhanji all the way south.

These one-third of the ships are all warships, and there is no cargo ship except for the logistics transport ship.
