"Gold mine?"

"Why didn't I hear this?"

Zhang Fu was stunned. Why didn't he know that there were many gold mines in Jiaozhi?

Zhu Gaoxu ordered someone to get a map of Jiaozhi, which was the brainchild of Huang Fu after he personally led people to go on a field trip.

Looking at the familiar Kanyu map in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu recalled the memories of later generations and circled it several times with his pen.

"It's pretty much these locations."

"After you go back, send people to search for these places. There is a high probability that there will be gold mines."

"If you don't find it, then look around. This matter involves the Jiaozhi Development, so be careful!"

Zhang Fu: "???"

What?

Gold mine?

Just these few laps?

Are you bragging here with me?

How come it was you, the prince, who buried these gold mines?

Zhang Fu looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a confused face, but due to the crown prince's power, he still accepted the Kanyu map honestly.

As for the Kanyutu gold mine, I'll go back and find someone to look for it in those places. If I really can't find it, just forget it.

Anyway, Zhang Fu didn't hold out much hope, after all, this thing was too outrageous!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means..."

"The reason why it is difficult to develop Cochin is because the concept of Cochin being backward and barren is deeply rooted in the people, so no one wants to go to such a barbaric place."

Zhu Gaoxu explained patiently, "So if you want to solve this problem, you must first break this inherent concept. Gold is a good reason!"

"The Guhui arranged people to spread rumors, and a huge gold mine appeared in Jiaozhi. Gold is like mountains and can be seen everywhere!"

When Zhang Fu heard this, he stood up suddenly in shock and felt his scalp was numb.

What is the behavior of the prince?

This is Chi Guoguo’s attempt to deceive the people!

"Once the news is released, those merchants will definitely be the ones to take action!"

"The merchants gathered together and left. Even if they couldn't find gold, they would not come back empty-handed. By then, Jiaozhi's mountain goods would have a market, which would be the first step towards integrating with the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Fu nodded subconsciously when he heard this, but he always felt a little uneasy.

Those merchants rushed to Jiaozhi in excitement, but then they didn't find the gold. Would they eat Zhang Fu alive?

"Don't worry, there are indeed many gold mines in Cochin, as well as coal mines, iron mines and other mines. These are Cochin's greatest wealth!"

"As long as the imperial court issues a policy to allow the people of Ming Dynasty to mine the Annan mines, and coupled with the huge attraction of gold mines, some businessmen will flock to mines. The imperial court can make a lot of money just by auctioning the mines and mining taxes."

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, Zhang Fu immediately raised objections.

"Iron is an important military weapon. How can it be opened to private individuals? If someone hides iron privately, the iron can be turned into a murderous sword at any time!"

The imperial court has always been extremely strict in the management of iron mines. The reason is firstly for huge profits, and secondly for the stability of the country.

Iron mines can be protected by weapons and armor. If someone with evil intentions takes control of the iron mines, how can the Ming Dynasty be stable?

Salt and iron have always been a national monopoly in all dynasties, so there is a reason for this.

Zhu Gaoxu did not argue with Zhang Fu on this. In fact, he had already had the idea of ​​unblocking the salt and iron franchise.

Zhu Gaoxu reformed the Ming Dynasty salt tax and sold the management rights to a group of wealthy salt merchants. Later, facts proved that he did not make a mistake in this step.

Compared with the exclusive operation by the court, which ended up with all the profits falling into the hands of officials, it was better to hand it over to these merchants, so the court was able to increase the salt tax more than a hundred times!

Besides, what if you have iron ore and swords?

The level of firearms of the Ming Dynasty has far exceeded that of the current era. The war in the future is no longer an era where you can fight with a sword!

The emergence of fire control and artillery has gradually widened the distance between battlefields in the future, and privately making swords secretly will not have much effect.

Can you rebel if you have a sword?

Sorry, I have guns!

Times have changed!

Rather than strictly controlling iron mines, the court should encourage private iron-making to promote the development of the steel industry.

But you have to eat your food one bite at a time, and now is not the time to do that.

"Secondly, the imperial court will issue corresponding policies to encourage scholars to go to Jiaozhi to serve as officials and teachers. Huang Fu should be prepared. It is better to carefully select, otherwise all the dogs and brothers will be officials. Torturing the common people of Jiaozhi!"

This can be regarded as a talent subsidy. You can refer to the education support policy of later generations. As long as you are willing to work hard in Jiaozhi for three to five years, you can become an official when you return.

With such generous treatment in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu believes that many high-ranking officials will be moved.

Zhang Fu also nodded with satisfaction. What Jiaozhi lacked most were officials and literati.

With officials in charge and literati educating the people, Jiaozhi will truly integrate into the Ming Dynasty and no longer be a barbarian land.

"As for the third point, you just mentioned the lack of personnel."

"Yes!" Zhang Fu nodded, "It's not just the lack of talent, it's also the shortage of ordinary people."

"In Jiaozhi, the proportion of Han people in our Ming Dynasty is too low. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability, we must change the population ratio of Jiaozhi and find ways to increase the number of Han people."

"But the Han people are relocating to their homeland. If you want to get the people to migrate to Annan, it is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky. You can't solve the problem without strong measures."

I have to admit that UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Zhang Fu has a long-term vision.

It has been too long since Jiaozhi separated from the Central Plains and became its own country. If we want the people of Jiaozhi to truly integrate into the Ming Dynasty, we must change their previous way of life, change the local people's own habits, change to speak Chinese language, and use Han Chinese characters. This is useless. It is different from destroying a civilization, and the difficulty can be imagined.

The key is that the proportion of Han people in Jiaozhi is too small to have an impact.

"This can be followed by the Liaodong development model."

"The imperial court will issue relevant policies to encourage Han people from the neighboring prefectures of Cochin to migrate to Cochin for farming. They will be provided with cattle for grain cultivation and exempted from corvee taxes and other preferential treatment."

"When you go back, you will encircle a fertile field specifically for the resettlement of Han immigrants, ensuring that they can get the land to cultivate safely as soon as they arrive."

Hearing this, Zhang Fu was in trouble.

"Prince, most of the fertile fields in Jiaozhi are owned by owners, and the rich and powerful in Jiaozhi occupy the most."

At that time, the imperial court forcibly transferred Annan to counties. In order to appease all classes in Annan, many local dignitaries were left behind and allowed them to take the lead and join the Ming Dynasty.

These powerful people took advantage of the power of the Ming Dynasty to annex land. Even if Zhang Fu and Huang Fu knew about it, they chose to acquiesce.

After all, Annan had just surrendered at that time, and the people were very resistant to the Ming Dynasty, and they had to rely on those powerful people to cooperate with the court to appease the people.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Then just kill him!"

"The imperial court no longer needs them!"

“Their fields are specially used to house Han immigrants!”

"As for the people of Jiaozhi who lost their fields, they moved to the prefectures and counties in neighboring provinces."

"Under such a mixed settlement, after two or three generations, the people of Jiaozhi only knew the Ming Dynasty but not Annan."
