Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 229 His Royal Highness Liao Wang wants to be the second Qin Wang Li Shimin? ! (unrepaired)
Gold everywhere in America?

After Zhu Qi heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he also had a confused expression on his face, although he did tell Zhu Yuanzhang before that America is rich in gold and other ores.

In the age of great voyages, there were countless expeditions from the west to the American continent to find the legendary Golden City
.But this is just a legend, and it is actually a bit exaggerated to reach the level of gold everywhere. If you really want to talk about the output of gold mines, the output in Japan is actually even higher.

And it is easier to mine. The only difficulty is that Japan already has a mature country.

It must be difficult to occupy the island country of Japan to mine gold and silver mines.

The American continent is a piece of land that has not undergone any development, and the aborigines on it have hardly formed the scale of a country.

It is too simple to mine gold mines in the Americas.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to find it, and Zhu Qi has never read related books, so he naturally doesn't know where there are gold mines in America.

Now when I heard Zhu Yuanzhang talking about the gold mines all over the Americas, my first reaction was that those leaders who came over told me that someone had found the gold mines.

Zhu Qi asked calmly: "Father, didn't those leaders tell you that they have gold mines next to the tribe?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, and then talked about those leaders. What he said after seeing him was nothing more than how rich the materials in America were, and how comfortable their lives in America were.

Although the people who came here have learned Chinese, after all, their Chinese proficiency is very limited, and only these two sentences can be understood.

But when they mentioned the topic related to the gold mine later, they said something that Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about.

That is, the American continent is full of gold.

And Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that the American continent was full of gold.

Zhu Qi thought about it carefully. It is absolutely impossible that gold is everywhere on the American continent.

And what they said actually meant something else, maybe there was a mine or something.

Speaking of which, if the mine is really discovered, that would be a great thing.

After all, precious metals are still very valuable these days. If you can mine a gold mine, you can buy a lot of things.

Although inflation will also increase sharply, compared to the benefits, this inflation is really nothing.

And as long as we open up overseas markets and use up the backlog of goods and money, there will be no inflation at all.

After Zhu Qi thought of this, he immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions, asking to invite those leaders over.

Then he asked carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Qi's serious expression, and knew that there might be something hidden in this matter, and there was a very good opportunity, which was very beneficial to Daming.

So he quickly went to have the chiefs of America come over.

The leaders of the Native Americans who were brought over by Wang Chuanqi naturally had the same status as the envoys of the tributary state.

They have been staying at the post house all the time, and the people in the palace quickly brought them over. A group of leaders are also a little nervous.

It was as if they had just arrived in a new world, looking at all kinds of things in Da Ming were extremely novel, they had never seen such a prosperous and prosperous country in Da Ming.

In fact, they have no concept of a country. If they hadn't come to Daming, they would have thought that the largest tribe in the world was their own tribe.

In fact, many of the more than twenty leaders and spokespersons did not know each other. After all, the scope of their activities was only within two to three hundred kilometers.

Even if they migrated, they couldn't travel too far. But this time, Wang Chuanqi drove the sea boat and gathered these chief tribes together. Only then did they realize that there were so many tribes outside the scope of their activities. .

But now they are no longer frogs in a well, after all, they have seen it in Daming.

The towering buildings, huge sea ships, sophisticated armor, and terrifying existences called firearms.

These are far beyond the scope of their understanding. If it wasn't for the people of the Ming Dynasty who looked like them, with yellow skin, black eyes and black hair, they would even think that these were gods.

As for the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, they were naturally in awe.

And according to others, this emperor is the Son of Heaven.

What is the Son of Heaven?Doesn’t that mean that the Son of Heaven is the spokesperson of God!

But in terms of beliefs, the people of Ming Dynasty don't actually have that many beliefs.

They believed more that they still believed in their ancestors, so they didn't deify the emperor in their hearts like the leaders from the American continent.

In the hearts of these tribal leaders, Zhu Yuanzhang is like a god. After they came to the palace and saw Zhu Yuanzhang, they knelt down and began to salute without saying a word.

They didn't know about kneeling before, but they are very proficient after teaching them.

And after they finished kneeling, Zhu Qicai realized that communicating with them was really not an ordinary difficulty.

They can indeed speak Chinese, but their speaking is a bit too inauthentic.

After all, it has only been learned for a few months, and it is really unrealistic to expect them to learn all of them.

Even though there was a special translator at the side, Zhu Qi couldn't figure out what they were talking about after talking for a long time.

Fortunately, the translator understood after listening to it for a long time. It turned out that what these leaders said about gold everywhere did not mean that their tribes were full of gold, but that the river at the gate was full of gold sand.

As soon as he heard that there was gold in the river, Zhu Qi suddenly realized that these were mostly at the doorsteps of the indigenous leaders from the western Americas, and there was gold sand in the river.

Many rivers in western America do have gold sands, but these gold sands are not inherent in these rivers, but come from the gold mines in the mountains and mountains upstream of the rivers.

In other words, if you search upstream along the river, you will definitely be able to find gold mines, whether it is on the surface or underground, and it is not so easy to find gold mines.

But at least there are clues. After all, Zhu Qi doesn't know the situation in America. Next time, these indigenous leaders can take Wang Chuanqi and the others up the river to see the situation.

But there is definitely no way to do this kind of thing now, after all, Wang Chuanqi has already brought them back.

And the family banquet is about to be attended, these leaders must wait until Zhu Yuanzhang canonize them one by one after the new year and complete the status of the tributary state before letting them go back.

And after they go back, apart from looking for gold mines, there is another important thing, which is to bring back the political system and education system of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like when Japan sent overseas students to the Tang Dynasty, what Zhu Qi has to do is not only to help them improve their strength and form a country.

More importantly, Zhu Qi wanted to establish a colony in America that belonged to Ming Dynasty.

The establishment of a colony naturally requires the cooperation of these indigenous tribes. If possible, it would be best to absorb them into the sphere of influence under Daming.

Anyway, there is a whole set of arrangements waiting for these indigenous tribes.

The purpose is to civilize them and join the scope of Daming's domain.

And this is not difficult. Looking at the admiration of these tribal leaders for Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as Daming continues to strengthen the concept of divine right of kings for them, and then incorporate them into the tribute system.

It is not so difficult to put them into the range of Da Ming's strength.

After chatting with these indigenous leaders, Zhu Qi finally figured out about the gold mine.

And when Zhu Yuanzhang heard that there was a real situation, he was naturally very happy.

But it is not so easy to collect these gold mines.

In comparison, Japan is a more suitable and direct target.

But it is indeed too far to think about the gold mines in Japan now.

Let's settle the current affairs of Bei Yuan first, and then Zhu Yuanzhang waved back those aboriginal leaders for the time being.

Then he chatted with Zhu Qi about the plans for the Americas, and Zhu Qi naturally had nothing to say, anyway, he planned to bring the Americas into the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, and now he himself has the identity of the Great Commander of the Americas.

Naturally, I had to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang about how to establish a colony in the Americas. This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang knew the concept of a colony.

It sounds very fresh to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for territory is the same as that of the kings of all dynasties. If he has the opportunity to expand his territory, he will naturally not let it go.

And the father and son, after chatting about the topic of expanding the territory, became interested all of a sudden.

At the beginning, they planned a beautiful blueprint with Zhu Qi, but Zhu Qi naturally didn't have any reservations. The father and son chatted until midnight, and it was Zhu Qi who was too sleepy, so he finally stopped the topic.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to go back to rest.

Zhu Qi didn't think much about it, he was too sleepy and went back to sleep by himself.

However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sleep all night. Since he became the founding king, his goal is to restore the territory to the territory of the heyday before the Yuan Dynasty.

Not only the grasslands, but also the maps of Yunnan must return to the territory of Ming Dynasty.

And now I heard that there is such a vast and resource-rich place in the American continent.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally hoped to bring it under his command, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much about how to expand it before.

Giving Zhu Qi the status of the chief executive of the Americas is only for the convenience of giving the authority to manage all weapons.

Now it is really thinking about the governance of the Americas, and even on the second day, the ministers were called to discuss going to America in the future, establishing provinces and local officials.

And Zhu Qi also woke up, and it was not until the next day that he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had actually discussed the matter with the ministers.

And the news about the Americas among those ministers spread all of a sudden. After all, expanding the territory, this is something that needs to be written in the annals of history.

If any generation of emperors can expand their territory, they will all be able to obtain the title of emperor through the ages, and their reputation will not be bad.

And the ministers of the emperor, if they performed outstandingly, they would naturally have a good reputation.

Then when they become ministers, besides pleading for the people, aren't they just for the sake of celebrities?
And the ministers asked carefully, where did the opportunity to expand the territory come from, and naturally they soon got the news that it was from the Americas, and who is the Americas related to?
That must be Liao King Zhu Qi, come on, the credit for opening up the territory is probably Liao King Zhu Qi again.

Those ministers were all a little confused. They didn't expect that His Royal Highness Liao Wang had just returned, and he would be credited so soon.

And if this expansion of territory is really accomplished, His Royal Highness King Liao's name will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

As for those of them who used to follow His Royal Highness the Liao King and often sing the opposite tune, I am afraid that they will also be villains who are famous in history.

Everyone was a little panicked. I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Liao to be so powerful. Not only is he good at fighting, he is also good at governing the territory, and now he can help expand the territory.

This is amazing, I'm afraid I won't become a character like Qin Wang Li Shimin in the future.

There was a lot of discussion all of a sudden, and the matter about the Americas was also the hottest topic during this period. Those ministers usually talked about it after work.

The more we talked, the more I felt that this matter was very possible. If His Royal Highness King Liao was ambitious enough, with his current achievements, he still had the ability.

In the future, maybe he can really become the second Li Shimin. This is naturally not a good thing for Daming.

His Royal Highness Liao Wang is so powerful, and when they thought that His Royal Highness Liao Wang would do such a thing, everyone panicked.

After Lan Yu heard these rumors, she immediately frowned.

This Liao king Zhu Qi should not really want to seize the throne, challenge Zhu Biao's position and become the second Li Shimin.

Thinking about it this way, I really feel that there is such a possibility. After all, what the Liao king Zhu Qi has been doing all along is not something that ordinary princes can do.

Which prince do you think can do so many things that are world-class?
What's more, he is so capable of fighting, and he has the insight to recognize heroes. He can match a powerful general like Zhang Yu at a glance.

And took it away from her, and Lan Yu never knew that Zhang Yu had such an ability.

If he knew that this person had such abilities, he would definitely not send it to Liao King Zhu Qi so easily, but knew that he would stay as a lieutenant general, wouldn't it be wonderful!

Thinking about it this way, Lan Yu actually felt worried. If Liao King Zhu Qi really rebelled against Prince Zhu Biao, whether he could stop it is another matter.

But now Zhu Biao's position is still very stable, Lan Yu feels that he still has a lot of opportunities, so he wants to stop Liao King Zhu Qi's conspiracy?
As long as I and Lan Yu are here, you Liao King Zhu Qi will definitely have no chance of pulling down His Highness the Crown Prince.
