When Zhu Houzhao heard the words "Golden Island", his eyes suddenly lit up.
The Emperor went there, but there has been no news from the Emperor for a long time.
Although there are occasionally some fleets returning from the Golden Continent, after all, the Golden Continent covers an area of ??thousands of miles. Even if the news is brought back, it may not be accurate. What's more, the vast majority of the fleet don't even know where the emperor is.
But Xu Jing is completely different. Xu Jing¡¯s status is second to none in Golden Continent, so he will definitely have news.
Although Zhu Houzhao was occasionally unreliable, he was still very filial. At this time, he had the opportunity to know the news about his father, so he said excitedly: "Quickly, summon him quickly."
"Your Majesty, this servant also knows this, so he hurriedly came to report to Your Majesty. However, after Xu Jing arrived in Beijing, he first went to see his mentor. I'm afraid that at this time, the master and the apprentice are still reminiscing about the past. Xu Jing will come soon. It¡¯s coming.¡±
Zhu Houzhao was not angry that Xu Jing did not go to the palace immediately, but he had always been impatient, so he clasped his hands behind his back and looked restless. Occasionally he babbled without knowing what he was saying.
Xu Jing came back and arrived at Tianjin Port with a fleet.
In the past two years, he explored the waters around the Golden Continent and discovered dozens of islands. When he realized that all the way to the west of the Golden Continent was the west coast of Franji and Kunlun Continent, Xu Jing suddenly couldn't help but choked up.
This meansthe world has boundaries, and exploration has its limits.
¡°Most of the originally blank world now appears on the map, and my life¡¯s work has also come to an end.
His feet are lame. This is the sequelae of an arrow that hit his ankle when the fleet was attacked by local natives in Huanghuangzhou!
And the handsome face at the beginning has now been replaced by a skinny, dark and sallow face.
Going to sea has become a daily routine for Xu Jing.
But every time he returned, his heart still throbbed.
When he returned to the capital, Xu Jing was lost.
Every time he arrived at Fang Mansion, he could see that the scale of Fang Mansion continued to expand.
Countless pavilions and pavilions rise from the ground.
Fang Jifan personally greeted him every time, and then looked at the visitor with a confused expression.
Becauseevery timeXu Jing changes too much.
"Teacher" Xu Jing called out and bowed.
Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, this is the person he treats as his son. This separation lasted several years, and several years later, it will be several years again, and now things have changed and people have changed. It is really touching, and it makes Fang Jifan feel heartbroken.
"Come, come inside and talk."
Fang Jifan was always strict with his disciples, which could even be described as harsh.
He did not tolerate the slightest shortcomings in his disciples, so it was difficult for the disciples to see their mentor treat him well. Except for Wang Shouren, most of the other disciples, when meeting Fang Jifan, were always a little trembling, like a frightened bird, afraid of not knowing when. He also dissatisfied his mentor.
But Fang Jifan sighed and then said something inside.
These were ordinary words, but Xu Jing suddenly burst into tears!
He couldn't help but choked up. Finally, he found that his calloused hand was grabbed by his mentor. Xu Jing felt warm in his heart and quickly followed his mentor into the hall.
Zhu Xiurong heard that Xu Jing was back and went to the tea room to pour tea in person. She knew that Xu Jing was from Nanzhili, so she specially poured tea from Jiangnan!
?? Xu Jing hurriedly took the tea cup with sincerity and fear, stood up and bowed, made a big salute, and then carefully sat down.
Fang Jifan asked: "How about the Golden Continent?"
This is the issue that Fang Jifan is most concerned about.
Huanghuangzhou and the Ming Dynasty are separated by thousands of miles, and the entire Fang Jifan family was sent away. This is of course Fang Jifan's high integrity, and he will never let any of his relatives of the same clan and clan dominate the Ming Dynasty in the name of Fang Jifan. Opportunity. At the same time I also took this opportunity to manage Golden Continent and forge ahead for the survival of the nation.
Fang Jifan once clearly told the world that unless the Fang family sheds the last drop of blood, the old Fang family will never give up Golden Continent. If any nation wants to step into the Golden Continent, it must step on the corpses of millions of members of the Fang family, and it must be arranged neatly, and no one can be missing.
Xu Jingdao: "Master is sitting there, and there is nothing wrong for the time being. It's just that there is still a serious shortage of talents in all aspects. Qilu's fiefdom is near the five great lakes, and there are hundreds of enclosures.Qianli, Junior Brother Zhengqing, now there are soldiers and horses who have trained two guards. The Fang family mainly gathers in three towns. One is close to the port. This port is named Qingdao. There, the largest port in Golden Continent has almost taken shape. Countless materials imported from Ming Dynasty every year are Going to that port, as for other places, there are ports, but after all, the nearby sea area is not peaceful. The princes of other clans have to rely on Qilu port to import goods shipped from the Ming Dynasty to meet their needs. "
Xu Jing paused for a moment. He knew everything about Golden Continent.
"Secondly, there is the new Linzi City near the Five Great Lakes. However, in Huanghuangzhou, people are accustomed to calling it Linzi. This city occupies the most fertile land, and the nearby large lake really nourishes people. Back then, , the master was there to recruit immigrants from the Fang family to open up the land, and all those who opened up wasteland were allowed to hold thousands of acres of land for their own use."
When they arrived at Huangjinzhou, they were given a thousand acres of land as a gift, and the land there was the most fertile. Once it was developed, its grain production would be even more fertile than the land in the south of the Yangtze River.
Thinking about itit's really exciting.
You must know that during this period, in the relatively prosperous Jiangnan area, the average land per person for a family was only ten acres, which was a hundred times different.
¡°If one owns a thousand acres of fertile land, before rent-free at Xishan Bank, it is enough to become a landlord in the south of the Yangtze River. If it lasts for several generations, and there is no family decline, then it is considered a gentry family.
Fang Jifan couldn¡¯t help but sigh, and began to think in his heart, why not use this as a selling point to fool no, recruit more immigrants to go to Golden Continent?
It seems that the only thing that attracts the people of Ming Dynasty is land.
Xu Jing continued: "Nowadays, there are hundreds of millions of acres of newly reclaimed land in Linzi, which can be said to be connected by vast distances. However because of limited manpower, there is a huge demand for cattle. In addition, It¡¯s because the farming method is a bit rough, and the yield per mu is not as good as the yield produced by intensive farming in Jiangnan. If we can have half the yield per mu of Jiangnan, it would be good.¡±
Fang Jifan was happy: "If you have a thousand acres of land as a teacher, why don't you cultivate it intensively? Intensive cultivation is the stuff of the poor. Just like a poor family, they always spend their money carefully. They wish they could spend it in two halves of a copper plate, but it is so rich. People don¡¯t care.¡±
Xu Jing sighed with emotion: "What my mentor said is true. A mentor is like an immigrant. If you have enough land, you don't care about those things"
Fang Jifan corrected him: "My master is the poor one. If you don't give me a head, you don't even know how poor I am. Okay, keep talking."
Fang Jifan seemed very sincere.
Xu Jing: ""
After a pause, Xu Jing continued: "Most of these grains are transported to another city. This city is called Xinqufu. Because this city is located at the intersection of several rivers and is close to the largest Nanhu Lake, the transportation is extremely convenient. , the first railway in Golden Continent, was built from here according to the plan proposed by Master. There are a large number of craftsmen in this city. Due to the large demand for agriculture, the requirements for farm tools are extremely high. Master, think about it. The immigrants had a lot of land, so they naturally hoped to use animals to replace manpower and use the best agricultural tools to save energy. This is not like the Ming Dynasty. Farmers in the Ming Dynasty only had so much land. If they only raised a few acres of land, they would It is not worth it to plow cattle and buy expensive new farm tools. But in Qilu, such demand is huge. The immigrants sold grain or other agricultural products and just wanted to buy the best farm tools. Therefore, There is a huge demand for smelting and iron tools. Fortunately, a large number of coal mines have been discovered nearby"
"Teacher" Xu Jing couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of it, this Golden Continent is really a chosen place. Not only is it fertile and wild, it is also extremely rich in minerals. Most of these coal mines are in shallow layers, and the cost of digging them is very low. , and it takes no effort. And the surrounding areas are mostly plains with no rugged mountain roads, but it is not like our Ming Dynasty. Some minerals are easy to dig out, but transporting them out is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"New Qufu was built just because of the endless mineral resources nearby. Due to the huge demand, it absorbed a large number of craftsmen and engineering knowledge from the Ming Dynasty. Many workshops have been built one after another. Continuously supply the Golden Continent.¡±
Fang Jifan said in surprise: "Supply the entire Golden Continent?"
Speaking of this, Xu Jing sighed again: "My teacher doesn't know something. Although Golden Continent has countless feudal kingdoms, but most of the clans have brought thousands of families with them, but they are not large in scale after all. Some clans are actually not as good as the nearby native tribes. The clans are used to enjoying themselves and are willing to go through all the obstacles there. Some are afraid of being attacked by the natives. Some are unable to attract immigrants. They have countless lands, but they can only They couldn't bear the wilderness anymore, so they simply ran away with their families to Linzi, Qingdao, or Qufu. In their opinion, these three places were populated places, and they recruited a large number of soldiers and horses. Gradually, industry and commerce began to prosper, and almost everything that could be enjoyed in the Ming Dynasty could be enjoyed there, which is safe and comfortable, which is certainly much better than being in your own feudal country with no guarantee of day and night."
"There are also some clans that don't know how to run a business. Even if they own a good place, they will end up just ruining it. Many of them are completely unruly and will be very harsh towards merchants who cross the border. If things go on like this, , there were no merchants to exchange what they had, and it only took a few years for it to decline." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), or Qufu. In their view, these three places are where the population gathers, and a large number of soldiers and horses are recruited. Gradually, industry and commerce begin to flourish. Almost everything that can be enjoyed in the Ming Dynasty can be enjoyed there, which is safe and secure. Comfort, of course, is much better than living in your own feudal country without security day and night. "
"There are also some clans that don't know how to run a business. Even if they own a good place, they will end up just ruining it. Many of them are completely unruly and will be very harsh towards merchants who cross the border. If things go on like this, , there were no merchants to exchange what was needed, and it only took a few years for it to decline."
