Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The Qing court, a traitor, took a Western stance and accused the Ming Dynasty...

After Zhu Youjian learned the news, he just sneered contemptuously.

This grandson probably got the news about the upcoming arrival of the Western combined fleet of 238 giant ships!

The weakling of the Qing Dynasty jumped out at this time, probably because he wanted to please his master.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and asked Cao Huachun to inform Fang Zhenghua that the news that the combined fleet was almost wiped out last month could be released.

really!

The front leg was still angry and shouted everywhere, wanting to take revenge on Fang Zhenghua for bombarding the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

next moment!

After hearing that the Western United Fleet had sunk more than two hundred ships, the Qing government immediately became a grandson.

Dayu'er took advantage of Dorgon personally leading the army to attack the four passes in northern Fujian, and put all the blame on Dorgon.

Then, he donated 30 million taels of silver and signed the Treaty of Nanjing with Fang Zhenghua.

In this treaty, it was implicitly recognized that the locations of the Handu merchant group were all owned by the Ming Dynasty.

That is what the Qing court called the "Treat Port Autonomy Law"...

A piece of news frightened Qing Ting, who had just become frightened, and his knees weakened again.

Regarding the so-called "Treaty of Nanjing", Zhu Youjian smiled contemptuously.

He already knew what kind of virtue "I am holy" is.

However, later, the Handu merchant houses in Jiangnan successively forced the Qing court to sign the "Treaty of Jiangyin", "Treaty of Jinhua", "Treaty of Shanghai", "Treaty of Hangzhou", "Treaty of Ningbo"...

There are more than a hundred treaties on Zhu Youjian's desk...

The "powerful and domineering" "Wo Shengqing" is as pulpy as ever!

What surprised Zhu Youjian was that it was Portugal in the Western world that secretly expressed support through the Portuguese in Macau.

Of course, Portugal didn't say it either.

But in this month's tax payment, the excuse of not being able to pay this month's fixed tax of 500 silver dollars was used in the name of "goods tax offset".

Thirty-six Hongyi cannons, 108 small cannons, more than matchlock guns, and more than kilograms of silver ingots were handed over to the Macau Special Taxation Bureau of the Ming Dynasty.

More than 1,600 kilograms of silver ingots!

Even if there is a slight difference in purity, it is definitely more than 20,000 taels of silver!

The Macau-silver dollar exchange ratio set by Zhu Youjian for Portugal was only five taels of silver, which could be exchanged for one silver dollar.

In other words, these more than 1,600 kilograms of silver ingots can definitely get 4,000 silver dollars!

Just these silver ingots are equivalent to eight months of Macau’s commercial tax quota!

This does not include the value of those artillery and muskets!

When Zhu Youjian learned the news from the memorial of Wang Guoxing, the commander of the Guangdong capital, he was stunned:

“This little brother is quite manageable!

That’s all, isn’t it just a Macau fishing village?

Just give him the "Mining-Portugal Free Trade Zone Agreement". "

In the brightly lit Handu Palace, Zhu Youjian made up his mind while holding Concubine Li of North Korea up and down her hands.

Since Portugal is on the road, let him sign this agreement first.

When I land in Europe in the future, this will be a big killer!

If I give you the right to lease Macau, I will take away the right to lease Monchik!

That is the gate to the Strait of Gibraltar!

Although it is not the best location, it can be regarded as controlling the Mediterranean Sea with one foot.

Isn’t it just a change of land?

I can afford it!

Zhu Youjian understood——

International affairs are like fishing. If you want to gain something, you must provide bait.

This "Mining-Portugal Free Trade Zone Agreement" is the bait Zhu Youjian offered to Portugal.

It looks mouth watering, but in reality it is a glass of poisonous wine!

However, Portugal has no choice!

Either I will drive you directly into the sea, or you will just swallow this chronic poison.

It was not as expected by Zhu Youjian.

Portugal signed...

October.

Three bridges across the Han River in Handu, Xiangyang and Junxian counties were successfully completed.

The Bridge Construction Bureau has accumulated experience in the construction of large bridges.

Thirty-two large bridges, including the Wuchang Yangtze River Bridge, Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge, Xi'an Weihe River Bridge, Temple Street Heilongjiang Bridge, etc., are under construction at the same time.

As long as these bridges are completed, all the ravines in China will be turned into smooth roads!

By then, trains will no longer need to be connected by ferry, and the connection between various places in the Ming Dynasty and the central government will definitely be more convenient!

……

Years pass.

A year has passed quietly, and another new year has arrived.

New Year for the fourth year of Yongsheng.

It is already the fifth year since Zhu Youjian came to this era.

On the day of Zhengdan, Handu held a grand military parade.

After four years of construction, several vertical and horizontal main lines in Daming have been completed.

Except for Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Gansu, and Guizhou, which are all mountainous, trains have been connected to all provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

The passenger train launched by Zhu Youjian is even more overcrowded!

To put it simply, the geographical location of Handu can be regarded as the center of the world.

Zhu Youjian even regarded Handu as an industrial development zone. Therefore, the goods produced in Handu became sought after by merchants across the country.

The radial railway network centered on Handu provided a driving tool for the spread of goods in Handu.

Freight trains departing from Handu to various parts of the country kept going all night long.

The highway mileage is far beyond expectations.

The continuous supply of food from Nanyang provided the driving force for the Ming Dynasty's infrastructure construction.

Thousands of grain-carrying ships operating non-stop all year round freed the Ming Dynasty's prime-age labor force from the land.

Coupled with the production of single-cylinder diesel walking tractors, Daming Agriculture has entered the preliminary mechanization era.

In this way, almost every prime-age labor force in the Ming Dynasty can go to the construction site to earn money.

In the Gyeonggi region, except for the mountainous areas in Yunyang, Fangxian and other places, cement roads have reached almost every township!

In Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Shandong, Shaanxi and Jiangsu provinces, cement roads have already covered county areas.

The four provinces of Shanxi, Anhui, Hunan, and Liaoning have realized the connection of key counties, important intersections, and cement roads.

Although the five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Fujian cannot achieve full coverage of key counties due to terrain reasons, they have achieved full coverage of cement roads in plains and low hilly areas.

Even in the ice and snow, the five provinces of Jilin, Heilongjiang, Yongle, Hongwu, and Northern Xinjiang, which have short construction periods, have already completed the north-south connection of cement roads.

The most noteworthy one is Mongolia.

In Mongolia, cement roads are not very important due to the amount of rainfall, but cement roads are still connected from north to south along both sides of the railway line.

The first five-year plan was overfulfilled.

In fact, even the revised plan has been overfulfilled!

Emperor Yongle's 200-day dredging of the Grand Canal was once again performed in the Ming Dynasty...
