    ¡°I left Blue Sky Town today, and I don¡¯t know whether I should be happy or sad to meet people from the Ottoman Empire here.¡±

    "Both these sisters are descendants of nobles, but they were sold here as slaves. They were bought by the most ordinary Ming people, washed and cooked for others, and gave birth to children. Although their descendants look like us Turks  There is almost no difference in the world, but they never think of themselves as Turks. They speak and write in Ming dialect and follow the secular system of the Ming Dynasty. They have nothing to do with us, the Ottoman Empire or the Turks."

    "The Ming Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated. Their rulers came up with such an effective way to increase the population. Maybe in one or two hundred years, the whole world will be filled with Ming people."

    On the four-wheel carriage walking east, Ali Pasha put down the pen in his hand and looked out the window.

    There are snow-capped mountains and alpine grasslands in the distance, streams and dense forests nearby, and golden wheat fields, with sheep and cattle living freely.

    It is also a fertile land, but unfortunately it does not belong to the Ottoman Empire or the Turks.

    The team of Ali Pasha and Moses continued to move forward. As a Jew, Moses also kept a detailed record of what he saw and heard along the way.

    "Food is extremely cheap in the Hezhong area of ??the Ming Dynasty. There is a lot of meat and precious horses, but the profit margin of food is relatively low, and transportation is a big problem. I heard that the people of the Ming Dynasty are building railways. If you can take a train from the Hezhong area in the future  Once we reach the West Pole Port, it would also be a good business to sell the food from the river area to Europe."

    "As for precious horses, they are needed all over the world. The price of horses in the Hezhong area is also very low. You can buy a good horse for less than twenty taels of silver."

    "But I heard that the Ming Dynasty people have stricter management of horses and do not allow them to be sold abroad. Otherwise, this business will definitely make a lot of money."

    "Here in Lantian Town in the Western Region of the Ming Dynasty, we were fortunate enough to meet two people from the Ottoman Empire. They were sold here. I heard that the price at that time was more than thirty taels of silver. The price was so high, compared to the horses in the Hezhong area.  Be valuable.¡±

    "It is said that if women with good looks and good figures are sold to the Beijing-Tianjin area of ??the Ming Dynasty, some of them can even be sold for hundreds of taels or thousands of taels of silver."

    "Slave trading is definitely a hugely profitable industry, especially women are very popular in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty people have formulated policies to increase the population and need a large number of women to give birth to children. Perhaps in the future, slaves obtained from Europe can be distinguished.  , to sell at a higher price.¡±

    "Also here, I ate something called raisins. Grapes are dried directly and can be stored and transported for a long time. It is said that they are very popular all over the Ming Dynasty. They are a sweet snack that is loved by young and old. The price is relatively high.  .¡±

    "But in the Ming Dynasty, only Turpan in the Western Regions produced raisins. But in Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region, the grape planting industry is very developed, and most of the grapes are used to make wine."

    "Although wine is equally popular in Daming, wine is not conducive to transportation and portability. Maybe you can consider processing grapes into raisins and selling them to Daming."

    In Moses¡¯ mind, he was always thinking about how to make money. He had traveled to many places and was well-informed. He could see business opportunities in small things.

    The convoy continued eastward along the built cement road. A few days later, they arrived at an oasis on Tianshan South Road, where they prepared to rest for the night.

    "Great Lord, I thought I couldn't find msl in Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect to find it here."

    Ali Pasha, who was sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, was drowsy. The long journey was indeed a test for an elderly man like him. Although the concrete road in Daming was very flat, sitting in the four-wheeled carriage  It was also very comfortable, but it was still a bit overwhelming for him.

    Knowing that he was going to rest here, he habitually opened the car window. When he saw the familiar dome in this oasis, he became energetic and hurriedly got out of the car and walked inside.

    Entering this oasis, Ali Pasha, Moses and others soon discovered that the people living here seemed not to be from the Ming Dynasty, because the people here looked very different from the Ming Dynasty people, but they looked more like them.  .

    "Seliangmu~"

    This oasis is relatively large, the size of a small town. When guests such as Ali Pasha and Moses came in, the residents of the small town came to greet them very enthusiastically.

    They saw Ali Pasha¡¯s clothes and inferred that Ali Pasha was pious.Kuang could still take the imperial examinations while studying, and become an official after gaining fame. This was something that was unimaginable in the past.

    "You said every town in Ming Dynasty has such a school?"

    When Ali Pasha heard this, he couldn't help but stand up and looked at the school next to him. He was shocked.

    "Yes, now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are vigorously promoting education and attaching great importance to education. They require that every town and town must build a school and carry out unified education. I heard that how much money is spent on this every year.  Ten million taels of silver."

    Alimu nodded solemnly.

    ¡°The Ming Dynasty had such a large population and such a vast territory.¡±

    "Every town and town needs to build a school. How many schools will be built?"

    "How many talents can be educated every year?"

    Ali Pasha, Moses and others looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

    This was the first time they knew that there was a country that attached so much importance to education, spending tens of millions of taels of money a year to develop education, and even requiring every town and town to build a school.

    At the same time, they also know clearly that since ancient times, schools have been a place to produce talents. Only when people receive education can they understand the etiquette, justice and integrity and become truly promising people.

    The Ming Empire attached great importance to education and vigorously opened schools. It is conceivable that there were countless schools in the Ming Empire, which could educate countless talents every year.

    How could such an empire not be powerful?

    In comparison, the Ottoman Empire is too far behind.

    Of course, not just the Ottoman Empire, it can be said that no country in the world can build schools on a large scale, attach importance to education, and spend such a huge amount of wealth to build schools and educate the next generation like the Ming Empire.

    In most countries and regions, it is normal to be illiterate, but here in the Ming Empire, the Ming people are trying to eliminate illiteracy.

    If this continues, perhaps in a few decades, there will be no illiterates in the entire huge Ming Empire.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
