Chapter 311 Heaven’s grace is mighty(2/2)
Very simple.
These guys have servants and clan cronies, and they just travel to Myanmar like armed caravans to run the gem business.
The King of Shu directly helped as an armed caravan when needed.
From now on, the Ming Dynasty will engage in more armed caravans of this kind to the outside world.
On the contrary, the number of immigrants in the nature of health centers will be reduced.
Immigration of this nature can easily arouse their dissatisfaction, just like those in Daning before, but armed caravans are purely civilian and driven entirely by profit, just like the salt merchants' trading villages in the frontier fortress. They immigrated for
If there are benefits, then as long as the benefits continue, they will thrive there for generations.
Something like Mogok Baojing can really last for generations to come.
After all, it is still being dug up to modern times.
Moreover, immigrants lured by such interests form a chain.
From processing, transportation, mining, including service industries that serve people in this chain, even special service industries, there will be everything, like tentacles reaching into the interior of Myanmar.
The King of Shu didn't say much. Since it was impossible to stay in Sichuan, he might as well go out and give it a try. It didn't matter if he failed anyway. At worst, he didn't want to be granted a land and become an apartment in Beijing. But if he succeeded, he could have his own real territory, in his own country.
became the king of his territory.
The remaining ones include King Liao and King Qing.
Prince Qing actually made a mistake in judgment. He did not expect that there was such a line.
If there is no such line, then he can definitely get a fiefdom in Ningxia, where the agricultural conditions are still excellent.
but now……
"I'd better go to Beijing!"
he said.
"Well, Your Majesty, I actually think you should go out and explore. I have chosen a place for you. You can follow King Yan first, and then King Yan will go west and you can go south from the Western Regions. There is also a road to India here, but
But you enter India from the west. After passing through this plateau and passing through a mountain pass similar to Juyongguan, you will reach the vast plains of India.
The situation there is similar to our Central Plains."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, this plateau is so difficult to deal with that it is nicknamed the Imperial Cemetery.
He actually wanted to throw King Qing over and let Zhu Di arrange a place. After all, the territory Zhu Di would own in the future was large enough, so giving it all to him would be too cheap for him.
"No!"
King Qing said with certainty.
In this case……
Yang Feng looked at his uncle with a smile on his face.
"Is the King of Liao interested?"
he said.
"I would rather go to Nanyang."
His uncle said simply.
So the little princess must have told her brother where the money is most valuable.
"Your Majesty, according to your Majesty's decision during his lifetime, a government-run Nanyang Company will be specially established in the future."
Yang Feng said.
The expansion in Nanyang must be something like the East India Company. It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have such commercial strongholds similar to European colonists. There are many in Nanyang. Hoi'an in Vietnam is home to thousands of Ming merchants all year round, crowding out Japanese merchants. The largest
There are at least 30,000 merchants from the Ming Dynasty in Pinghu, and of course, they can also be said to be pirates. Li Dan is the boss. There are others in Pattani and Batavia. The first time the Dutch invaded the Ming Dynasty was instigated by Zhangzhou merchants in Pattani with the intention of copying
Macau experience.
Not to mention a city like Manila with tens of thousands of people.
but……
Compromising each other.
Not only did they not unite against European colonists or local indigenous people, they often joined forces with European colonists or indigenous people to kill compatriots.
If the private sector is allowed to carry out such development, this will inevitably be the result.
Fujian maritime merchants preyed on Guangdong maritime merchants, and Zhangzhou maritime merchants pretended to be pirates and killed Chaozhou maritime merchants.
This is inevitable.
Only by forcibly integrating them into an organization can this be avoided to the greatest extent.
Maximum!
After all, even the captain of Daying often robbed Daying's merchant ships with a privateering license, but having organizational restraint is better than nothing. At worst, it would be changed to a joint-stock system, just like his Shanxi Development Company. By the Ministry of Household Affairs, the emperor,
Ambassador Yang's family, together with private investors, eventually established the Ming Dynasty version of the East India Company.
"Ambassador, you are talking about trade, but I am talking about land. The imperial court specializes in trade in Southeast Asia, but isn't the land in Southeast Asia not yet owned?"
King Liao said with a smile.
so……
"I understand, you don't care about trade, but you control the supply of goods."
Yang Feng immediately understood his uncle's goal.
This is a very smart choice.
"In this case, we would have to set up a special Nanyang economic envoy, but the imperial court does not have soldiers. After all, there is no one suitable for exploring in this direction."
he said.
"It's easy. Just set up a separate capital command department here, and then the imperial court will send a few guards to open it up. If that doesn't work, just move my three guards there. Agriculture and fishery are good there. Then give me a part of the Ying Jiahe fleet.
, I control the Ryukyu capital and command the envoys, and the rest is to open up step by step to Nanyang. From there it is not far to Luzon, and then from Luzon to the west.
But I have to be allowed to recruit people from the mainland, and I will pay for it myself."
The King of Liao pointed to a certain island and said.
He has money...
Well, actually his sister is rich.
Therefore, his loan from the bank should be the most lenient.
"OK!"
Yang Feng said.
In this way, the King of Liao also moved to the vassal state.
Of course, we can't say that we will move to the feudal state at the moment. Except for Zhu Di, we can't say that anyone else will move to the feudal state. We can only say that we are starting to prepare for the move. Their palaces and properties are still theirs. They just get a military envoy each, and then
Control one or several generals and envoys to secure a territory for yourself.
When they conquered it and thought it was time to move, they officially moved it.
As for Zhu Di, it was different.
His transfer to the vassal state was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang while he was still alive.
So he must move to the Western Regions immediately.
He had already built a palace for himself in Yili before, and among his five guards, two were already in place in the Western Regions. The other three depended on how many he could bring with him from Peiping. Anyway, he would make up for what was not enough.
.As for the guards belonging to the two capital divisions of Anxi and Beiting, they will be completed one after another. This was originally decided when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive.
Chapter completed!
