My Daming New Empire

After hearing Yue Zhang's arrangement, he was not moved. Instead, he asked his father to discuss with Yue Zhang, obviously not wanting to interfere.

This made Yang Zhixun a little disappointed. He originally wanted to support his son-in-law, but he didn't expect that his son-in-law didn't appreciate it.

Although the matter went well with Feng Laiwang, Feng Laiwang also decided to raise buffaloes in the future to supply the Yang family, which still made Yang Zhixun a little worried.

"Working as an errand in Dewang's mansion, you can't be a lifetime. I don't expect you to be successful, but I can't let Liuniang live a hard life with you."

"My father-in-law doesn't know. I have been working in front of Prince De's son for two months. He is now looking for oil fields in the family territory, and promised that I will be in charge of liaising with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future. My son-in-law wants to take this opportunity Get more familiar with the situation, and develop well in this area in the future.”

Yang Zhixun's heart moved, and he asked, "Oil field? Is it reliable?"

Nowadays, there are more and more tractors and cars, and oil has become an important resource demand.No matter where, the discovery of an oil field is equivalent to a mountain of gold, which is more expensive than raising grazing animals. "

"My father-in-law doesn't know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has discovered several oil fields. The pastures in Dezhou are no longer allowed to be traded privately. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sealed up the ownership of unowned land with the Dewang Mansion. At most, only leases are allowed."

Yang Zhixun asked: "Then you can only contact one or two at most, but you can't participate."

Feng Dabao said proudly: "My son-in-law is still young now. He has worked in Dewang's mansion for several years and is familiar with the way of oil exploration. Only then will he know how to participate in it. Oil will become an important resource in the future. At this time, son-in-law It is already a great opportunity to have the opportunity to get started.”

Yang Zhixun is no different than Feng Dabao. Now he only sees personal opportunities. He is more concerned about the discovery of oil in Texas, and the impact of oil in Texas on the local area.

Feng Dabao is now the personal guard of Prince De's Mansion, so he has the opportunity to participate in this matter.He didn't expect his wife and daughter to pick a son-in-law at random. He thought his daughter would just marry him off, but now he finds out that this son-in-law has a bright future.

After he talked about the ranch cooperation with Feng Laiwang, he began to learn more about the oil exploration of the Dewang Mansion and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Knowing that they had indeed discovered several oil wells in Dezhou, he couldn't sit still and called Feng Dabao over again.

"Dabao, an oil well was discovered in Dezhou, and now you, as the personal guard of Prince De's Mansion, have the opportunity to participate in the development of the oil well. In the future, if you can bring the Yang family in for a share, the entire Yang family will strongly support you... "

Chapter 38 You Ke Dong Lai

On the tenth day of September in the 42nd year of Zhengtong, Admiral Yang Zhihe of Gibraltar arrived at Yuejianglou Wharf in Yingtianfu on board the Royal Yacht Yongheng Princess.

Not only Princess Yongheng and his two children, but also representatives from various European countries returned to Yingtian Mansion with him, a total of 300 people.

Before this, there has never been such a large-scale European side to Daming. Even businessmen, there are only less than 1000 people coming to Daming every year.

Today's Ming Dynasty rules the world's oceans, and any ship from various countries that has not obtained a navigation certificate will only sink into the sea as long as it is discovered by the Ming Fleet.

This is what Yang Zhi and the Governor of Gibraltar did.

Of course, Ming will not publicize or admit all this. Anyway, I will only issue navigation permits to a small number of boarders every year, and the farthest range of sailing is only from Europe to South Asia.

The east starting from India has always been a restricted area for European countries. Even European merchants can only go to the east through Ming's merchant ships.

And the Atlantic Ocean in the west is even more restricted area for Europeans.

In the 26th year of Zhengtong, the ship of the Admiral's Office of Gibraltar arrived in Iceland. At that time, Iceland was under the rule of the Kingdom of Norway, and there were less than 1 residents on the island.

Daming originally wanted to directly occupy Iceland, but he didn't expect so many people to live on the island.Moreover, they have close contacts with the European continent, and Irish and Scottish monks will travel regularly.

Because it is impossible to slaughter them all, in order not to give the Europeans the impression of brutality, Daming just set up a monitoring point on the island, limiting Iceland as the westernmost place that Europeans can sail.

In the 27th year of Zhengtong, Ming Dynasty published the world map for the first time and distributed it in Europe.

On this map, except for some islands in the middle of the Daming Ocean (Pacific Ocean), Dongzhou includes some islands in the Atlantic Ocean, all of which are clearly marked.

Like the Canary Islands in the northwest corner of Africa, and the Azores in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, all of them have become the overseas territories of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Europeans knew that the earth that people live on is a sphere.

The earth is a sphere, and the earth revolves around the sun, which has a huge impact on Europeans.

At this time, Europe was still an independent country, and the Holy See controlled many countries ideologically.

The "Bible" was declared to be the supreme truth, and all theories that violated the Bible were denounced as "heretics", and all those who opposed the theocracy were sentenced to be burned at the stake.

As soon as this world map came out, the power of the church also declined sharply during this period. Many Europeans realized that many descriptions in the Bible were wrong.

And at this time, Daming has already occupied most of the territory, and those territories painted in bright yellow almost fill the world.

Only some areas in South Asia, West Asia, Europe, and North Africa were left, and about one-tenth of the area was left.

After seeing the world map, Europeans became more curious about the world.For a long time, European countries have been organizing fleets to explore the world.

But the ships they sent out, without exception, never came back.

That is to say, in recent years, European countries will be overwhelmed.Knowing that Daming has regarded all areas outside of Europe as its own territory, no one will be allowed to explore.

Without Ming's permission, Europe did not dare to sail to the dangerous Atlantic Ocean. They could only explore in Africa and South Asia.

Ming Dynasty will only issue trade permits for no more than [-] ships every year. With these trade permits, European ships can pass through the Suez Canal.

If there is a ship that dares to bypass Africa without a trade license, the local Hanwangfu and Jinwangfu slave trade will increase some gains.

However, the general trend of development in Europe cannot be reversed. Although Europe is a continent with a mild climate and flat terrain, most of the continent's land is not fertile.

The land in most parts of Europe is only suitable for growing grass. If it is for growing grain, the grain yield is pitifully low.

Therefore, in history, France, Poland, and Hungary became European powers because they have the most suitable land for growing food and can feed more people.

After the precious metals in Europe were almost exploited by Ming through trade, Europe became almost nothing.

This is also the main reason why they tried their best to steal the advanced technology of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, more and more European serfs could not survive, and they needed a way out.

Under such circumstances, many serfs came to Crete and became coolies in Daming's workshop here.

Many European nobles maintained a decent life through the slave trade.

On the one hand, it is the awakening of ideology, and on the other hand, the oppression of real life. Europeans who are struggling to survive will attack the East regardless of the consequences, hoping to obtain more resources.

However, the 41-year war of Orthodoxy made them realize the gap between themselves and Da Ming. Da Ming didn't even send the main force, and it had already beaten them to pieces.

Today's Ming Dynasty has occupied the territory from Kiev to the Baltic Sea, leaving even less space for Europeans.

All people of insight in Europe have realized that if Europe wants to develop, it must surrender to Ming Dynasty.

From the winter of the 41st year of Orthodoxy to May of the 42nd year, European countries held many meetings in Cologne, Vienna, Milan, and Paris to discuss the future.

With the threat of the giant Ming, they have decided to stop the dispute.

In June, the Daming Europa peace talks presided over by the two admirals of the Ming Dynasty were held in Crete. In this peace talk, Yang Zhihe proposed to use the existing demarcation line as the boundary. A peace conference that respects Ming's rule.

If the European countries recognize Ming's leadership, Ming will open his arms and help the development of European countries.

After half a month of peace talks, the European countries that don't have much leverage can only accept Ming's conditions.
