Chapter 400 Prosperous Revival, Continuation of "Yongle Dadian"!

   Zhang Gui then explained to Tianqi in detail the particularity of the rubber material, such as plasticity and high elasticity.

  Tianqi, the technical geek among the emperors, became as excited as Jiajing when he heard about Zhang Zhenren’s blood scriptures, and hurriedly told Wei Zhongxian:

   "Then your Dongchang will send more people to **** Frangji to look for it!"

   "According to Uncle Guo's proposal, let those Frang machine slaves pick rubber for me day and night!"

   "Be sure to collect more! I really want to see this magical thing!"

   "Follow the order!"

  Wei Zhongxian hurriedly agreed.

  The king of Chu has a thin waist, and many people in the city starved to death.

  Apocalyptic decree, Dongchang naturally dare not neglect.

   Velasco and the Frenchmen had no choice but to be forced by the Dongchang people to embark on the long journey to America.

   "Report! We found that the rubber forest mentioned by Uncle Guo is exactly the same as the drawing drawn by Uncle Guo! We have driven and hunted the savages and beasts here! You can go to collect them."

On this day, a patrol fleet of Dongchang, which was escorting the Franc robot to South America, arrived at the coast of South America shortly after a Baihu of the Dongchang patrol fleet hurried onto the warship available to Qianhuqiao and reported .

After hearing this, Qiao Ke said: "Then drive these Frang machine slaves down immediately, and let them collect rubber. They are not allowed to stop, and anyone who is lazy will be whipped! The vegetables are almost consumed, so there is no need to bring so many slaves back. So, it’s best to simply exhaust a few more people here.”

"clear!"

  The Baihu agreed and went to do it.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

  …

  Next, after these Frangbots were driven into a natural rubber forest somewhere in South America, the official school of Dongchang drew a long whip and walked towards these Frangbots.

Snapped!

  Then, these Dongchang officials first whipped the Frang robot in front of each other, and ordered: "Cut!"

Vikolas, who was also here, was really whipped at this time, grinning his teeth in pain, and then had to take out a small knife and shoot at a rubber tree in front of him according to the method Dongchang had taught them. The upper stroke was pulled up.

  While the rubber juice flowed out, Vikras also shed tears.

  He is really sad now, sad that he, a dignified governor, has fallen to this point.

Snapped!

   But when Vikolas was in a trance, he was whipped again, only to hear the Dongchang official behind scolded: "Stop thinking about it, cut it off!"

  Vikolas had no choice but to cheer up and continue cutting rubber.

   In fact, Vikolas is very tired now.

  Because he just disembarked, he didn't get any rest at all, but he didn't expect that these Ming people really didn't treat them as human beings, and let them work as soon as they got off the boat.

   Vikolas suddenly felt that the Han Chinese who were slaughtered in the past were actually quite kind, compared to the Han Chinese now.

   In less than a month, because Dongchang was in a hurry to gather more rubber to go back to Emperor Tianqi, hundreds of Fulang machines died of exhaustion.

   In the past, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty started the Huashi Gang because of his curiosity about flowers and different stones, which exhausted countless common people.

   Today's great emperor Zhu Youxiao started the rubber class because of his amazing rubber, and countless people died of exhaustion.

   Once the emperor has something to do, it will indeed involve a group of people.

  However, unlike Song Huizong's Huashi Gang, Tianqi's Rubber Gang will bring greater benefits to Daming.

  Turn back.

   It will naturally be a year or two later for the Frang machine to go to South America to pick rubber. Today, the Ming capital is still immersed in the craze of buying slaves.

  Hongmaofan is the main force in global trade in this era.

After Zhang Gui instructed them to sell the barbarian people as slaves to Ming Dynasty, they did not refuse because their interests were paramount. In the second year, that is, the twelfth year of Tianqi, a large number of barbarians came in, even some of them were fair-skinned or beautiful. There are strong and high-quality barbarian slaves, and there are many high-end barbarian slaves that can meet the needs of the rich and powerful bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty.

  So, Hongmaofan really made a lot of profit from it, and became obsessed with this trade.

After the Hongmaofan ordered a large amount of Ming's industrial products in Daming, they went to Japan and North Korea to sell them. After the sale, they used the silver they earned to cooperate with the dignitaries and officials of Japan and North Korea, and ordered a large number of Japanese and Koreans from them. People, and then shipped back to Daming to sell.

Affected by Daming’s frantic suppression of Japan and North Korea’s domestic handicraft industries, coupled with the fact that Daming has repeatedly bought food from these countries at high prices, and because the rich and powerful bureaucrats in these countries are greedy for money and live extravagantly, they frantically buy all kinds of luxury handicrafts from Daming. These rich and powerful bureaucrats are oppressing the common people more and more fiercely in their countries, so many people in Japan and North Korea have gone bankrupt, and there are also many prostitutes.

  Thus, Hongmao Fan can easily buy people from the powerful bureaucrats of these countries.

As far as Japan and North Korea are concerned, their class conflicts have been alleviated, but because of the decrease in the total population, there will be fewer and fewer powerful bureaucrats who can rely on excessive exploitation of their own citizens, accompanied by a large number of middle and lower class nobles. Bankruptcy, which in turn triggered more brutal political struggles.

   "Eliminate the **** and protect the Lord!"

   A roar suddenly appeared in Edo Castle.

   Tokugawa Tadaga, who was hiding his dissatisfaction with Daming and Hong Maofan, was about to enter the mansion when he was stabbed by a Japanese warrior who suddenly appeared.

   Tokugawa Tadacho looked back in surprise.

  The Japanese samurai didn't pull out the sword, he simply let go of the hand holding the Japanese sword, pulled out the short sword from his waist, disemboweled him, and fell to the ground with Tokugawa Tadacho.

   This incident immediately alarmed the entire Edo Castle.

   "Mr. Xu, the gift has been cashed. When will your firearms arrive?"

  In a secret room, Tadakatsu Sakai asked Xu Du a question shortly after Tokugawa Tadaga was killed.

This Tokugawa Tadacho is the younger brother of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the current shogunate general of the Japanese government, and he is also an advocator who wants to close the country and break off relations with Daming and Hong Maofan, and intends to overthrow Tokugawa Iemitsu, so whether it is Tokugawa Iemitsu His confidant Sakai Tadakatsu and Zhang Gui's confidant Xu Du are very willing to see Tokugawa Tadunaga, a Japanese nobleman who was contacting Xu Du against Daming's daimyo, die suddenly.

   Xu Du laughed because of this: "Don't worry, we will not only help you with firearms, but when necessary, we will directly send troops to help, and help the shogunate to suppress the recent dishonest daimyos."

   Sakai Tadakatsu was overjoyed after hearing this: "So, my shogunate is naturally grateful, and I hope that the lord of the country will be honored from generation to generation!"

   Xu Du just smiled slightly.

  The main arms trade target of the Ming Dynasty is the Japanese shogunate, followed by North Korea. It can be said that it has earned a lot of money from the Japanese shogunate.

  As a result, the Japanese shogunate still maintains its oppressive position on its domestic famous names.

As far as Daming is concerned, Daming has earned a lot of money by selling arms to the Japanese country, but it has continued to maintain a trade surplus position, and it has also maintained a surplus position with other foreign countries, making Daming continue to earn money all over the world. It is just that compared to the past, these silvers are basically stored in the treasury, as the capital to buy raw materials such as overseas grain and ore, instead of becoming the capital for the luxurious life of domestic dignitaries and gentry.

But even though the silver flowing into Daming has been mainly used to exchange for raw materials such as grain and ore, as an empire with the largest productivity and market size in the world, the amount of silver flowing into Daming is too much, so that for the current rulers of the Ming Empire As far as they are concerned, they can do more lucrative things.

"Daming now has a full treasury, people live and work in peace and contentment, no longer go hungry everywhere, and the households have surplus food, and the feudal clan has accumulated wealth. If there is any reform to be carried out, there is no need to rush to change it now. There is only one thing, in my humble opinion. Now that the current dynasty has turned from decline to prosperity, and the so-called flourishing era is to revise books, should we not use the money to benefit the people to build infrastructure, but also to build culture, so as to benefit the future nation and the country in the future?"

   Zhang Gui therefore put forward a new idea to the Planning Department on this day.

   "Uncle Guo means, what book should I edit?"

  Chen Zizhuang asked.

  Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, I should advise you to print the Yongle Canon again, and continue to write the Yongle Canon!"

   "Reprinting the Yongle Canon? Do you want to continue writing?"
