When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he quickly asked: "Seriously? There is really gold underground? Where is it?"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard what he said and looked at his expression, he couldn't help but be speechless.
On Emperor Chongzhen's forehead, it seemed to be written clearly, "Is there really gold? Then he wants it!"
It can be seen that he was afraid of poverty before, and the word "poor" is engraved in his bones.
After coming back to his senses, Liu Weichao asked with a smile: "Do you know how big the world is?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said: "I have seen a map of the world, so I naturally know it!"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao probably guessed that what he saw was the map of Kun Yu and all the kingdoms.
So, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "You have an incomplete understanding of the world! Just wait a moment and I will show you the real world map!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Weichao did not wait for Emperor Chongzhen's reply. He put down his phone temporarily and searched for a high-definition world map on his computer. Then he picked up his phone and said to the computer screen: "Did you see it?"
It’s a real map of the world!”
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, it seemed that it was indeed different from what he had in mind, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Although he had seen it before, he didn't pay much attention at the time.
He was already too busy with domestic affairs, which annoyed him to death, so how could he care about the whole world? At most, he would only look at it as a curiosity, and then throw it away after seeing it.
Liu Weichao guessed that Emperor Chongzhen could not understand the map, so he took a mobile phone holder, fixed the mobile phone on it, and pointed it at the screen.
After freeing his hands, he found a ballpoint pen, pointed at the computer screen and said, "Did you see that this area I drew is basically the territory of the Ming Dynasty, do you see clearly?"
Emperor Chongzhen used his mobile phone to see the world map on his laptop screen. Even if it was high-definition, it was impossible to see the fonts clearly. He could only see different colors and world terrain.
At this time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the thing in Liu Weichao's hand marked the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of what he thought, Liu Weichao continued to introduce it to Emperor Chongzhen: "This is Europe, where the Western barbarians gather. The history is almost as long as our Chinese history."
"And this place, called Africa, is the origin of the Kunlun slaves... In the mother country, the coastal areas have already been colonized by Western barbarians."
"This is called North and South America, and the indigenous people there are called Indians. There is a saying that people from Asia, probably Liaodong, passed through the Bering Strait. I am not sure yet. Their skin color is similar to ours, slightly darker.
Some."
"Similarly, have you seen that the Spanish have crossed the Atlantic Ocean and colonized North and South America? One of the Western countries is called Spain, and they are the ones who occupy the Luzon Island in the South Ocean. They are also Spanish. They established colonies in the Gulf of Mexico.
Every year, many ships of silver, gold and other items are transported back to their home country."
"This place is called South America. Similarly, it was occupied by Western barbarians called Portugal, which are the Francois in Macau."
"This is called Australia. It seems that no Westerners have discovered it yet. There is a group of indigenous people living there. It is also very rich in mineral resources, such as iron, copper, coal, etc., which are far more than those in the Ming Dynasty!"
"By the way, this place, later called Brazil, is also the location of a very famous copper mine. It is many times more than the Ming Dynasty, and there is no end to it!"
"..."
Liu Weichao introduced it to Emperor Chongzhen based on his own impressions. Anyway, he was wrong and Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about it. Even if he knew about it later, it wouldn't matter much.
After just talking like this and introducing the whole world, he asked Emperor Chongzhen: "How is it? Do you have a concept of the real world now?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Weichao waited for a while and felt a little strange when he didn't hear Emperor Chongzhen's response, so he looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
It turned out that Emperor Chongzhen’s eyes were dull and he was obviously looking stupid!
"..." Liu Weichao was speechless when he saw it.
Yes, let him watch for a while!
Liu Weichao thought this in his mind, and waited patiently. At the same time, he also looked at the world map, wondering if he should say something more?
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Chongzhen’s voice finally came from the phone: “Hey, where is the person?”
"I'm here!" Liu Weichao heard this and said with a smile, "I saw that you were looking stupid, so I won't disturb you and let you watch for a while."
Haha, good guy, you dare to say that the emperor is stupid, no one else!
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little strange after hearing this, because no one had ever said such a thing to him.
However, he was not angry, but admitted generously: "I was really stunned. I didn't expect the world to be so big!"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Did you see that at this time, the Western Yi people are already grabbing territory everywhere. They will also grab each other. If you don't go out to grab it... um... no, you
If we don’t go out to rescue the local people who were colonized by the Western Yi, it will be even more difficult if they manage it for a long time!”
He knew that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to save face, so he changed his story.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I will definitely send troops! But I didn't remember just now that there are gold, silver and copper mines in those places?"
This sentence revealed the truth.
He would go to rescue the local people, but he would go to the gold, silver and copper mines!
When Liu Weichao heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he joked: "Haha, you are very straightforward and don't even try to hide it!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he blushed slightly at first, but then he said seriously: "The treasured land is for the virtuous to live in! And if the world beyond the four seas is not owned by our Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be a secret investment of pearls! As a heavenly country, since
We should understand the suffering of the four barbarians who do not meet the Ming Lord, and do not allow all sentient beings to be ravaged by the Western barbarians!"
"Hahaha..." When Liu Weichao heard this, he burst out laughing, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen, "In that case, let me give you some advice."
After finishing speaking, he used his pen to draw on the world map and said at the same time: "Do you see, by digging a canal here, we can connect the Western Yi to our Ming Dynasty, without having to go around Africa, saving a lot of roads.
If you occupy this place and just collect tolls, you will be lenient!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his eyes immediately straightened, staring at that place, and secretly remembered it in his heart.
"And here, this is called the Strait of Malacca, which is also a very important first waterway. Now it seems that the Portuguese and the Dutch are competing for this place."
"There is no canal here yet, but once it is dug, it will connect the Pacific and Atlantic routes, which will also save a lot of distance."
"..."
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes gleamed as he listened to Liu Weichao's explanation.
These places are definitely better than simple gold and silver mines.
After all, minerals and the like will one day be mined out. However, these transportation thoroughfares will not be. They are an eternal treasure chest!
After hearing what Liu Weichao had said, Emperor Chongzhen did not listen stupidly this time, but immediately said to Liu Weichao: "Can you send me a copy of this world map?"
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and then immediately added: "It would be best to label the gold, silver and copper mines in various places."
After hearing this, Liu Weichao immediately smiled and said: "This is no problem, but there are many mines that you cannot dig with your current level of technology."
"That doesn't matter. I'll take over the place first and then talk about it!" Emperor Chongzhen replied nonchalantly after hearing this.
Liu Weichao heard this and hit him: "You haven't done anything in the country yet, so you're just thinking about this?"
"..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.
At this time, it can be said that he is still trying to save the nation. It is still early to think of sending troops overseas! Besides, the country must be stabilized, right?
But why did we talk about overseas and the map of the world just now?
Emperor Chongzhen thought this in his mind, and after a moment of recollection, he understood how the topic had been brought up.
He actually didn't care about this. After all, he thought it was worthwhile to understand the world first, and at least to know this much.
The matter that Liu Weichao proposed before, that the vassal kings entrust overseas, is indeed worthy of consideration!
If this is the case for the feudal lord, perhaps those members of the Wuxun Group should also be treated this way!
Although Emperor Chongzhen had said harsh words before, he felt that since they had no ability, what use would they have?
But that was just talk after all, and there was another point that he was more afraid of.
Even those hereditary titles were awarded by his ancestors, which means that his ancestors promised those military honors, but he, a descendant, took away their titles. In an era when filial piety governs the world,
It will be subject to great criticism.
Unless those military honors committed a serious crime of treason, their titles could be deprived! For example, Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, is an example.
But we can’t say that all Wuxun Groups are plotting rebellion, right?
During the previous discussion, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have a good idea. At that time, he was a little cruel. If it really didn't work, he would just pick up a few and deal with it.
But at this time, after opening his eyes to see the world again, he had new ideas.
But in the end, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "This is a modern world map. If I give you this directly, it may mislead you. Let me look for it first to see if there is a world map of your time."
After a pause, he thought for a moment and then added: "Thanks to you, I have also made some money. If I can't find the world map I want, then I will check the information myself and spend a few days.
