My Daming New Empire

But for ordinary people, barter has great restrictions.

Daming's trading center in Crete has been continuously minting copper coins, because the scale is too small, it still can't keep up with the speed of consumption.

Now, the European countries have officially become the vassal states of Ming Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty has now released the control to help Europe establish a stable financial order.

Now is not a few hundred years later, if it is a few hundred years later, no country will let other countries control its own finances.

But it is still the era of cash currency. Gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins are the targets for measuring the value of goods, not paper money.

In the era of paper money, I can print a little money at will, and I can exchange any of your precious things.

But not now.

Gold, silver and copper are the real currency. If you want anything, you must exchange these resources.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not afraid, and neither is Daming, because most of the mineral resources in the world are now in Daming's hands.

Gold, silver and copper can be used as exchange currency only when they are recognized.

For Europe, these resources are scarce resources, but for Daming, it is just a matter of arranging thousands of people to dig in mines in America to meet Europe's needs.

And through this exchange, all the production value created by Europeans can be exchanged.

Not only that, but it can trap Europeans in this financial dilemma.

When they can't find an alternative currency, they can only accept the exploitation of Ming Dynasty forever.

In Zhu Zhanji's view, the Europeans have absolutely no chance of getting out of this dead end.

This kind of exploitation is much better than Daming spending thousands of lives to occupy this place.

The Europeans can't see this now, and they beg Daming to open a bank with them and provide them with currency for exchange.

This made Zhu Zhanji very funny. Hundreds of years later, when they turned their heads and looked at this period again, they would understand that they took the initiative to wrap their necks in the ropes controlled by the Ming people.

This time, the two banks of Daming fought fiercely to open a bank in Europe.

Even Zhu Zhanji couldn't suppress it, so he could only let them go together and develop on the same conditions for the sake of fairness.

The two banks each sent 500 people, and these 3000 people will set up banks in major cities in Europe.

From now on, the world's economy will be completely controlled by Daming.

Xizhou.golden city.

Yecheng Hou Su Nan got up before dawn, and then started a day of training with the guards of the Hou Mansion.

Although he is nearly [-] years old, he has lived in the golden city with a warm climate for many years. Sunan's body is still strong, and the ordinary three or five young people are still no match for him.

After the morning exercise, he returned to the backyard, took a bath and changed clothes under the service of his wife Lian Er, and then came to the family dining hall.

He has never taken a concubine in his life, and has a deep relationship with his wife Lian Er.Lian'er gave birth to him three sons and four daughters, and these three sons and four daughters have spread out. Now the third generation has fourteen grandchildren, and the fourth generation has seven or eight great-grandchildren.

Except for the eldest son's family living in Yingtian Mansion, all the others, as long as they have never been an official, live in Hou Mansion.

I thought that the two of them were well educated. Although a big family lived together, the family was still in harmony.

"Grandfather, my grandson is going to inspect the northwest border today, and I won't be able to come back for three to five days after this trip, and I won't be able to accompany my grandfather to receive imperial envoys."

Sunan put down his job, looked at the fifth grandson, Su Liang, and said, "The Envatuo people in the northwest were deliberately driven south by the guards of the King of Han. Now they have nowhere to go. You have to beware of them jumping over the wall in a hurry."

"Yes! Grandson leads a thousand soldiers this time, even if it's a little short, self-protection is safe."

Lian'er wiped her mouth on a three-year-old great-granddaughter in her arms, and said, "Liang'er's family, Xiulan, is about to give birth, and you still send him to patrol the border at this time?"

Sunan shook his head and said: "This time the imperial court came with the second son of Hu Shilang's family from the Ministry of Industry. He is also the head of the Ministry of Industry. When Liang'er was in Yingtian Mansion, he had conflicts with him, and I also deliberately dismissed him. Liang'er went out to avoid it."

Lian'er stopped talking, coaxing the great-granddaughter in her arms, Sunan raised his head and asked again: "The envoy from the imperial court is said to have brought dozens of wireless telegraph machines. You have all stayed in Yingtian Mansion, but have you heard of this?" Wireless telegraph?"

Su Yuan, the eleventh grandson who just came back from Yingtian Mansion last year, said in surprise: "Has the wireless telegraph been developed? This is great."

Su Yuan's father, Su Changxing, said: "Since you know, tell your grandfather about it."

Su Yuan stood up and said, "Grandfather, the telegraph used to have wires to communicate, but the wireless telegraph does not need wires. As long as there is a short-wave receiving point and all the telegraphs are on the same frequency, they can communicate across the air. If the wireless telegraph Jizhen has been successfully developed, as long as a few relay points are set up in Nanyang, Ceylon, and Hanwangfu, our Golden City and Yingtianfu will be able to communicate directly in the future."

Sunan was taken aback, looked at his wife and smiled, "The world is changing so fast, we are too old to understand."

After breakfast, the men are all ready to go.Ready to go out, the women cleared the dining table.

Just as Su Liang was about to go out, he saw his father Su Changfa coming to his small courtyard.He hurriedly saluted, Su Changfa waved his hand and said: "If you want to go out, we will talk while walking, and we will not delay you to go out."

Su Liang nodded, quickly tidied himself up, bid farewell to his eight-month pregnant wife, and left the courtyard.

Su Changfa saw his son coming out, took him out of the front yard, and asked: "I also know a thing or two about the conflict between you and Hu Yuansheng back then, and I know it wasn't your fault. But your grandfather is old now, and the post of Governor-General is still the same today. There is no decision, and my Su family does not know whether I can take over. At this time, I am not afraid of a gentleman, but a villain. If you are asked to apologize to Hu Yuansheng, can you do it?"

Su Liang was taken aback, feeling a little aggrieved in his heart.My grandfather was a governor, Marquis of Yecheng, and Hu Shilang was only a third-rank civil servant, so why did he take the initiative to apologize?

If this matter got out, they would think that the Marquis of Yecheng was afraid of a small civil servant.

Seeing his son's reluctance, Su Changfa sighed and said, "Think carefully when you're patrolling the border these few days, think it's for the entire Su family."

Su Liang thought for a while and said: "Now the frontier is relatively peaceful, and the civil service system depends on the military general Xungui to gain a firm foothold. But in Central Continent, because of the control of policy formulation, the struggle between the civil officials and the military general Xungui has become more and more fierce.

It's not difficult for the boy to apologize to Hu Yuansheng, but if this matter gets out, our Su family is in the noble family, and the reputation of the general system will be ruined! "

Su Chang was stunned for a moment, and was a little undecided.He stood there in a daze for a while before saying, "Go ahead, I'll think about it."

Su Liang came out of the Marquis Mansion and came to the school grounds, where the former soldiers had already prepared, one man and one horse, and their bags were all tied behind the horses.

After Su Liang nodded, he gave an order, and a thousand athletes left the barracks in a thunderous manner.

In the sixth year of Zhengtong, a super gold mine was discovered under the exploration of the Ministry of Industry in the northern area under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou City.

This piece of land, which is [-] kilometers long from north to south and [-] kilometers long from east to west, is completely a big gold mine, which shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.

In order to protect this gold mine, all the original aborigines here were expelled, and the entire land of more than 2 square kilometers became a closed mining area.

Not only are there no people inside the mining area, but there are also no settlements in the surrounding area, within a range of hundreds of kilometers.

In the orthodox ten years, this gold mine has entered the formal development period. Except for the eight large ore layers identified, the remaining more than two hundred ore layers have all been sealed up.

The navy and young army formed a joint defense force to protect this super gold mine.

This gold mine is the Rand Gold Mine of later generations. Zhu Zhanji had engaged in mining development in his previous life, so of course he knew how amazing the gold reserves in this gold mine were.

The Rand gold mine in South Africa was discovered in 1866 in the original time and space, and it was put into mining shortly after the discovery.After 150 years of development, [-] tons of gold have been dug out, but only two-thirds of the proven reserves have been dug out.

This gold mine alone accounts for 50.00% of the world's gold reserves.
