Gold is everywhere in the Americas?

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Qi also had a confused expression on his face, although he had indeed told Zhu Yuanzhang before that the Americas are rich in gold and other ores.

During the Age of Discovery, there were countless expeditions in the West, going 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 we really want to talk about gold mineral output, Japan's output is actually a bit higher.

And it is easier to mine, and the only difficulty is that Japan already has mature countries.

It is definitely difficult to occupy the Japanese island country to mine gold and silver mines.

The American continent is a piece of land that has not been developed, and the indigenous people on it have almost no national scale.

It is too easy to mine gold in the Americas.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to find it. Zhu Qi has not read related books, so he naturally doesn’t know where there is gold mine in the Americas.

Now when Zhu Yuanzhang talks about gold mines everywhere in the Americas, his first reaction is what the leaders who came here said, and it is probably someone who found the gold mine.

Zhu Qi asked quietly: "Are you the leader who told you that they have gold mines next to the tribe?"

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and then talked about the leaders. What he said after seeing him was nothing more than how abundant the supplies in America and how comfortable their lives in America were.

Although the people who have followed him have learned Chinese, their Chinese proficiency is very limited, and only these two sentences can be understood.

However, when we mentioned the topics related to gold mines later, they said something that Zhu Yuanzhang cared very much.

That is, the American continent is full of gold.

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

Zhu Qi thought about it carefully and found that it was impossible for gold to be everywhere on the American continent.

What they said was actually a different point of view, maybe there were mines or something like that.

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

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

Although inflation will increase sharply, compared to the benefits, this amount of inflation is nothing.

Moreover, as long as you open up overseas markets and use all the backlog of goods and money, you will actually not be able to inflate much.

After Zhu Qi thought of this, he immediately asked Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions and asked the leaders to be invited.

Then I asked carefully. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's serious expression, he also knew that there might be a little hidden information in this matter, and there was a very good opportunity, which was very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

So he soon went to get the leaders of America to come.

The leaders of the Native Americans who were brought by the legend of the king naturally had the same status as those envoys of the tribute state.

I have been staying in the inn, and the people in the palace quickly brought them all over, and I was a little nervous.

They were just like they had just arrived in a new world, and they were extremely novel when they looked at the Ming Dynasty. Never have they seen such a prosperous country?

In fact, they have no concept of the country. If they hadn't come to the Ming Dynasty, they would have thought that the biggest world is their own tribe.

In fact, many of these twenty leaders and spokespersons do not know each other. After all, their range of activities is only within two or three hundred kilometers.

Even if they migrate, they can't run too far. This time, Wang Xuanqi drove a sea boat and gathered all the leaders and tribes together. Only then did they realize that there were so many tribes outside their range of activities.

But now they are no longer frogs in the well, after all, they have already experienced it in the Ming Dynasty.

The towering buildings, huge sea ships, exquisite armor, and a terrifying existence called firearms.

These are far beyond their understanding. If the people of the Ming Dynasty did not look like them, with yellow skin, dark eyes, and dark hair, they even thought these were gods.

And for these Ming dynasties, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, they naturally had a sense of awe.

And according to what others say, this emperor is the emperor.

What is the Emperor? Isn’t that the Son of Heaven the spokesperson of God?

However, in terms of faith, the people of the Ming Dynasty actually did not have so many faiths.

They believed more that they believed in their ancestors, so they did not deify the emperor in their hearts like these leaders from the American continent.

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

They didn't know how to kneel down before, but they were already very skilled after teaching.

After they knelt down, Zhu Qicai realized that it was really a very difficult time to communicate with them.

They do know Chinese, but they are too inauthentic.

After all, I only studied for a few months, so it is really unrealistic to expect them to learn them all.

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

Fortunately, the translator could understand after listening for a long time. It turned out that what these leaders said was that gold was everywhere, not that there was gold around their tribe, but that there was sand in the river at the door.

When Zhu Qi heard that there was gold in the river, he suddenly realized that most of these were the doorsteps of the indigenous leaders from western America, and there was gold sand in the river.

Many rivers in western America do have sand, but these sands are not built into these rivers, but gold mines from mountainous mountains upstream of the river.

In other words, if you look up along the river, you will definitely be able to find gold mines, even on the surface or underground. It is not that easy to find gold mines.

But at least there are clues. After all, Zhu Qi didn't know where the situation was in the Americas. Next time, these indigenous leaders could take Wang Zhuanqi and others to go up the river to see the situation.

But there is definitely no way to do such a thing now. After all, Wang Chuanqi has brought them back.

And they are about to attend the family dinner, so these leaders will definitely wait until after the New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang will enfeoff them one by one, and then let them go back after completing their status as a tribute country.

After they returned, in addition to looking for gold mines, there was another important thing, which was to bring back the political system and education system of the Ming Dynasty.

Just like Japan sent overseas students to the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Qi had to do more than help them improve their strength and form a country.

More importantly, Zhu Qi wanted to establish a colony owned by the Ming Dynasty in the Americas.

Establishing a colony naturally requires the cooperation of these indigenous tribes. If possible, it is of course the best to absorb them into the sphere of influence under the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, there are a complete set of arrangements waiting for these indigenous tribes.

The purpose is to let them be civilized and join the Ming Dynasty's domain.

And this is not a difficult task. Looking at these tribal leaders, they should continue to strengthen the concept of monarchy and divine empowerment for them in the Ming Dynasty, and then incorporate them into the tribute system.

It is not very difficult to put them into the Ming Dynasty's strength.

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

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that something was really happening, he was naturally very happy.

However, it is not that easy to collect these gold mines.

In comparison, Japan is more suitable and direct.

But now when thinking about Japan's gold mines, it's really too far away.

Let’s get the matter in Beiyuan first, and Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily retreated the indigenous leaders.

Then he talked about the planning of America with Zhu Qi again. Zhu Qi naturally said everything. Anyway, he had originally planned to include America in the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and now he has the identity of the commander of the Americas.

Of course, I had a good time with Zhu Yuanzhang. It was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang knew the concept of colonies in the Americas.

It was naturally very fresh to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for territory was the same as that of the kings of all dynasties. He would naturally not let him go if he had the opportunity to open up a vast territory.

After talking about the topic of expanding territory, several fathers and sons became interested all of a sudden.

At first, they planned a beautiful blueprint for the future with Zhu Qi, but Zhu Qi naturally had no reservations. The father and son chatted until midnight, but Zhu Qi was so sleepy that he finally stopped this topic.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to go back and rest.

Zhu Qi didn't think much about it, so he was so sleepy that he went back to bed by himself.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not sleep for a night. Since he became the founding king, his goal was to restore his territory to his heyday before the Yuan Dynasty.

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

And now I heard that there is such a vast and resourceful place on the American continent.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally also hoped to include him under his command, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't actually think much about how to move forward and expand.

The identity of Zhu Qi, the chief American manager, was only to facilitate the management of the instruments.

Now, he is really considering the governance issues in the Americas. On the second day, he even called ministers to discuss the future of going to America and establishing provincial and local officials.

Zhu Qi also woke up in a sleep. On the second day, he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had actually discussed the news of the matter with his ministers.

And the affairs of the ministers about America spread all of a sudden. After all, expanding territory is something that needs to be written into history.

If any generation of emperors could expand their territory, they would be able to gain the title of the Emperor of Eternality and would not have a bad reputation.

And if they are outstanding in their emperors, they will naturally have a good reputation.

Then, as ministers, apart from asking for the people, weren’t they just for celebrities and Qing history?

The ministers asked carefully where the opportunity to expand territory came from, so they naturally got news that it was America, and who did America have anything to do with?

That must be the King of Liao Zhu Qi. Well, the credit for expanding territory is probably the King of Liao Zhu Qi.

The ministers were all a little confused. Unexpectedly, His Highness the King of Liao just came back and made another contribution so soon.

If this expansion of territory is really done, the name of His Highness the King of Liao will definitely be written into history.
