    In the study room of Qianqing Palace in Beijing.

    "Your Majesty, Cansu II of Egypt killed all the officials who clamored to take back half of the ownership of the Egyptian canal."

    "It seems that he should have figured out how many kilograms he has now."

    Zhu Fu smiled and reported to Emperor Hongzhi that the situation in Egypt had changed.

    "Haha~"

    When Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers heard this, they immediately laughed happily.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of mind, you are still thinking about taking back half of the canal ownership of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, you need to contain the Ottoman Empire and the Persians from this position, otherwise they will directly send troops to turn you into a colony.

    "Egypt's life is not easy now. The Ottoman Empire's army is about to reach the Egyptian canal. They will suffer in the future."

    "They asked for this. The Ottoman Empire itself is very powerful. The reason why it could not defeat Egypt and Persia was mainly because the current Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman Empire had just come to power, and he was not in the right position. He was consolidating himself.  With his status and power, he has no time to concentrate on dealing with them.¡±

    "Now that his status and power have been consolidated, he can mobilize a large number of troops. Coupled with the arms and weapons sold by our Ming Dynasty, it will not be so easy for the Egyptians and Persians to resist."

    "Will this make the Ottoman Empire stronger?"

    "Don't worry, when Egypt and Persia can't hold on, our Ming Dynasty will take action. The three-legged situation in the Middle East must be maintained. This is in the best interest of our Ming Dynasty."

    "Well, it makes sense. Once anyone in the Middle East becomes powerful, it will harm the interests of our Ming Dynasty. The three-legged alliance is the best situation for our Ming Dynasty."

    "There are still deep conflicts and grievances between the Ottoman Empire and Europe. They cannot use all their forces to the Middle East."

    ??Everyone discussed the situation in the Middle East with smiles on their faces. No matter what, Ming's interests are the core, and it is definitely right to focus on this.

    "Your Majesty, when it comes to Europe, I think we, the Ming Dynasty, can continue to expand to the west?"

    This time z. com Zhang Si.  Liu Jin looked at the huge world map in the Shang Shu's room, and his eyes quickly focused on the land in Eastern Europe.

    This piece of land will be a famous granary in later generations.

    The black soil in Ukraine is one of only three black soils in the world. It is very fertile and is the breadbasket of Europe.

    Of course, there is no food produced here now. This is the pasture of the nomadic Crimean Tatars. To be honest, it is really a waste of this fertile land to use it for grazing.

    The westernmost border of the Ming Dynasty has reached the Ural Mountains, bordering the Kazan Khanate and the Principality of Moscow. It has also occupied the South Caucasus region, where it has been operating for many years.  The land has become the bridgehead from Ming Dynasty to Europe, and life is prosperous and very stable.

    In addition, Hezhong Province and Northwest Province have also developed. They are not only the granaries of the Ming Dynasty, but also the meat warehouses and pastures of the Ming Dynasty.

    The food produced here in a year is enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty. Every year, tens of millions of cattle, sheep and horses are transported to the pass through the railway and shipped to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

    This place is already one of the four major pastures of the Ming Dynasty. Together with the Northern Grassland Province, Australia, and the Southern Golden Continent Grassland, it is also known as the four major pastures of the Ming Dynasty. It produces a large amount of cattle, sheep, horses, and wool needed for the textile industry.

    These all laid the foundation for the westward expansion of the Ming Empire.

    24378  If the Ming Dynasty continues to use troops to the west and expands westward to Eastern Europe, the Ming Dynasty will not need to dispatch food from other places at all. It can directly obtain enough food, meat and needed war horses in Hezhong Province and Northwest Province.

    This is also the reason why Ming Dynasty has been working hard to manage these places, not only to consolidate the border areas, but also to prepare for the next step of westward expansion.

    "Continue to expand westward?"

    When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic.

    When Liu Jin was the chief minister, he still liked to expand as before. The Ming Dynasty's land was already so huge, but Liu Jin still didn't think it was enough, and he wanted to continue to expand westward to seize the Eastern European plains.

    This style of doing things is really very Liu Jin, because Liu Jin has always tried his best toAt this time, food is more expensive than anything else.  At this time sh u*can*g.cc Zhang Si

    The people of the Ming Dynasty are indeed living a good life now. There is endless food to eat, it is very cheap, and a large amount is used to make wine, feed livestock, etc. That is because the Ming Dynasty now has large granaries such as Liaodong, Hezhong, and Nanyang, so the grain  Can't finish it.

    But in the past, the Ming Dynasty was very short of food, and major famines would occur almost every one or two years, either drought, floods, or locust plagues.

    Once that time comes, and with the unscrupulous grain dealers hoarding food and driving up the price of food, food will become extremely valuable. Countless people will starve to death, and the bark of the trees will be eaten away.  It's something that actually happens time and time again.

    People in the Ming Dynasty have a deep attachment to food, and they also know the importance of food very clearly.  Zhida z.com Zhixiao

    You don¡¯t have to have gold or silver, but you must have food, because only when you have food in your hands, your heart will not be empty.

    It will be even more so when combined with future generations.

    The population of the Ming Dynasty is only over 100 million now, but in the future, the population of the Ming Dynasty may be 1 billion or 2 billion. Naturally, it will not work without enough land and food
