    "There is also a big happy event. I just received it late last night. I think many people don't know about it." I glanced at everyone in the room.  "Three and a half months ago, Jiaozhi's third expedition fleet set off from Linchuan Port in Linzhen County, Hainan Island and sailed eastward. After sailing nearly three thousand miles, it landed on a large island. That island passed by  Their survey confirmed that it was the Luzon Island I had mentioned. In the following three months, a total of ten expedition teams were sent into the mountainous area at the northern end of the island to investigate.  A copper mine has been discovered, and it is estimated that it will definitely not be smaller than the copper mine in southern Yunnan, or even larger. In addition, there are likely to be other copper mining areas in this area" The eyes of a dozen ministers suddenly opened.  Staring wide open, I continued with satisfaction.  "And this copper mine is also accompanied by a gold mine. It is estimated that the annual mining volume can reach 10 million kilograms of copper and 5,000 to 10,000 kilograms of gold. It is less than a hundred miles away from the seaside, and there are rivers flowing through the mining area. Everyone  , please note that this is just one of the copper mining areas on Luzon Island. In addition, I believe there are at least two to three such gold and copper associated mines that have not been explored by them. " Then, everyone in the room heard.  The loud pumping sound almost sucked out all the air in the room.  "Ten million jins, then there must be at least 30 million jins. In this case, it is 30 million jins, plus 30,000 jins of gold, darling Your Majesty, we have sent it." Luo Shixin's eyes shone, and even  Yelled it loudly.  "This is natural, but don't be too happy too soon. It will take at least two and a half years to achieve this kind of output." Seeing Luo Shixin shouting like this, I couldn't help but pour a small splash.  Pass the ladle of cold water.  "And at least 10,000 laborers are needed." "Your Majesty, the problem of labor is easy to solve. That guy Cheng Yaojin has fought with the Champa country in the land of Jiaozhi, and has captured more than 100,000 enemies. Now, although the newly captured  We also need prisoners of war, but we really can¡¯t use so many, so we can send some prisoners over from now on" Fang Xuanling winked and smiled sinisterly.  This guy's eyes light up whenever he hears money these days.  The famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty has become the best economist in our dynasty because he has been dealing with economic work.  In other words, he became one of my powerful accomplices in robbing other countries.  "What I said before was all for profit, but it was all for the benefit of the country. Therefore, I feel that this is a great benefit and should be taken. What do you think?" "What your Majesty said is true. It is for the benefit of the country and we will do it."  How can you care about those false names and ignore the livelihood of the people in the world?" Wei Yunqi fell down first, and then one after another the important officials in the court fell to the ground.  "From today on, the Japanese country is a country that China must conquer, and all contacts with the Japanese country are cut off. No Japanese will be allowed to enter any of our Chinese territories. If there are any who leave, the Japanese king will be notified in his presence for five years.  Within this period, the soldiers of the Chinese Empire will march to the Japanese lands, wipe out the Japanese lands, and destroy their country" "Nuo," everyone shouted in unison.  At this moment, it was as if this place had turned into a military camp, and I was standing on the school grounds of the military camp, looking far into the distance to the country that must be conquered thousands of miles away.  "But Your Majesty, those maritime merchants" Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered something and asked me hesitantly. I touched my chin and thought about it.  "Well, business can still be done. After all, there is money to be made, so why not make money, but no Japanese are allowed to come to China with their ships. In addition, they can go to the Japanese country to sell more glass, silk, and porcelain products. The price  It doesn't matter if it's a little lower. But no one is allowed to know that I already know about this. Do you understand?" Fang Xuanling said with a strange expression and a hint of joy.  Yao Guang and I were left indoors. "Husband, what do you want to do? Since you regard the Japanese country as a country that must be conquered, why do you still do business with them?" Yao Guang said with some dissatisfaction.  "Madam, business is business after all. In order to make money, those maritime merchants will still do business with the Japanese country. Even if I, the emperor, say so, I still can't stop it. So, it's better to block it than to open it up."  I said with a proud smile.  "More importantly, your husband and my caravan also need to eat, and I like the gold and silver produced by Japan very much. I can't really not do business with this country that is very close and rich for five years, right?  In this way, the development of our fleet will be seriously affected." "Sir" Yao Guang tilted his head and looked at me from the corner of his eyes.  "Why do I feel that for you, the latter reason seems to be more important." "That's natural, madam, we now have a family and a business, and I, the emperor, can be regarded as the poorest in history.  Emperor, why don't you get more money for yourself? You think so," I said with a smile on my face, looking at my lovely and naughty mother-in-law.  "I knew it" Yao Guang rolled his eyes and said in anger. How could he keep people from being tempted by that charming smile and hint of anger between his brows and eyes?  Let me do it??, so he grabbed her hand, hugged her shoulders, and took a sip of fragrance on her pretty face.  "You are my wife, so you should know this." At this time, a group of prospecting teams consisting of fifteen prospectors and two hundred and fifty Chinese Renaissance Army cavalry had arrived in the area north of the Hetao, and then  , began to go straight north, and then, there, the arduous and hard work of exploring copper mines would be carried out.  " However, with my guidance and clear distance and coordinates, it will definitely not be too hard, just like prospecting on Luzon Island, it will not be too hard.  However, it is still quite hard in the extreme climate.  Luzon is located in the tropics and has an extremely hot and humid climate.  The land north of the Hetao is at the end of the severe cold, but it still looks very cold.  However, it is good to let them experience it. The important thing is that more than 20 of the 250 Chinese Renaissance Army cavalry are elites transferred from the Intelligence Bureau.  Naturally, they went not only to explore the mineral deposits, but also to explore the situation and news along the way for me. At the same time, they would also evaluate the Turks by whether they were sufficiently concerned about the copper mines.  attitude and intentions.  If the Turks are very perfunctory, then it means that the Turks do not want or do not need Zhou Shaofan to make this seemingly beneficial transaction for both parties, because they are about to have greater ways to make profits, such as war.  "If the Turks care about it very much and are very careful about it, then it must mean that they really need these copper mines to be turned into copper ingots and then traded into iron ingots.  Of course, they will naturally distinguish, and there are more intelligence personnel who will also distinguish whether this is a disguise, trying to confuse China, or whether it is really eager to obtain what it needs through trade.  However, I really think that the Turks agreed to the trade contract after such a long negotiation, and considering the current situation in East Turkestan, the Turks should not make any moves that are beyond my expectations.  The movement in the south was really beyond my expectation. When the Third Expedition Fleet confirmed that it had found Luzon Island, the commander-in-chief of the South China Sea Fleet in Jiaozhi, Zhou Shaoji, immediately sent half of his warships there, not only bringing a thousand soldiers with him.  , and even sent over three thousand prisoners of war.  These 1,000 soldiers are naturally used to guard Luzon and supervise these prisoners of war. These 3,000 prisoners of war need to build houses here, build docks, and lay cement straight roads in the future.  There were native barbarians on Luzon Island who led beasts and cannibals. So, 500 soldiers were separated from the 1,000 soldiers and went deep into the forest. They annihilated a large tribe of nearly 1,000 people and killed 200 enemies.  , all the others were captured and taken to the coast, where they became part of the prisoners of war and joined the construction army in panic.  At this time, General Qu Tutong finally arrived at Yuzhang County at the southern end of Poyang Lake, and further north was Jiujiang. However, General Qu Tutong knew very well that this was not the time to confront Xiao Mian, so Qu Tutong  General Tutong will arrive along the east side of Poyang Lake to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then go straight to the south of the Yangtze River.  Qin Qiong's speed is much slower, or it is much more difficult, because the coastal areas are all rich places. The rich places do not defect to any big power, but they prefer to squat at home and be a local emperor.  But Qin Qiong could only walk forward hard and slowly, talk first, and then fight if that didn't work. After the fight was over, he could appease the people, and then march again.  In this way, it is indeed much slower than Qu Tutong, but there is no way, Qu Tutong's reputation is too great, so many cities, although they are dissatisfied, can only open the city to welcome him due to his reputation. But Qin Qiong is different.  , Although this guy is also one of the most famous generals under my command, he has been fighting far away in Guanzhong, so his reputation is far inferior to that of Qu Tutong, who was famous in the previous dynasty.  No one in the world knows you, so they don't listen to this guy's persuasion to surrender. They scornfully think that Qin Qiong is just a small captain, what extraordinary ability can he have?  "And these guys are used to being local emperors. Naturally, they are not used to having someone as their immediate boss, and they don't want all the money in the treasury that should be returned to them to be turned over to the state treasury.  Qin Qiong could only lift the sword helplessly and then put it down again and again, thus slowing down his pace.  Now, Qin Qiong finally, with the cooperation of the navy, captured Nan'an City in Jian'an County without any blood, which will be the future Quanzhou, the most famous port trading city of this era, and continued to move north.  And Du Fuwei is now sitting in Jiangdu, occupying Jianghuai in the north and south of Jiangnan. Dou Jiande has established an alliance with the Chinese Empire, so that Du Fuwei finally no longer has to worry about the Jianghuai land, and can instead concentrate on conquering Jiangnan.  Deal with Li Zitong, this unrelenting enemy.  Of course, he could not be completely reassured, so Du Fuwei still sent his father-in-law and Jianghuai soldiers to guard Huaibei, so as to avoid Dou Jiande's disobedience.
