Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 669 Willing to Die for the Emperor
The elders of the Indian tribe did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor Ming would bring them so many great gifts.

They didn't even expect that Taichang would even give them the shops in the capital of Eastern Yin, and each tribal alliance had a hundred shops.

They don't know the value of these shops because they don't know how to do business yet.

However, they have been envious of the layout of the shop for a long time.

Every shop is a big yard, which can accommodate at least dozens of people, and it is not a problem for a large shop to accommodate hundreds of people.

Moreover, each shop has a beautiful two-story building, and the inside is even more beautiful with carved railings and jade.

Although the cities of the various tribal alliances were built by Daming for them, none of their cities are as big as the Eastern Yin capital, let alone as prosperous as the Eastern Yin capital.

Moreover, when the city was first built, it was mainly to give everyone a place to live. There were not many decorations in the city, and there were no such exquisite shops as in the capital of Eastern Yin.

They all dreamed that they could buy such a shop, and it would be very uncomfortable to live in it when they came to the capital of Eastern Yin to do business.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Taichang raised his hand, there were a hundred shops in each tribal alliance!

This is something they never dreamed of.

Of course, these are nothing, what shocked them most was the income from the mine.

Not to mention other things, the income from coal alone can scare a person to death.

Although they don't know how much coal is worth, they do know how much firewood coal can replace for heating.

Because they used to use firewood, whether it is cooking or heating, it needs a lot of firewood.

Especially for heating, the North American continent is very cold in winter. In the past, they didn't know how much firewood they needed to prepare every winter.

Now, there is no need to prepare at all.

Because the North American Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty organizes large ships or trains to deliver coal to them every month, every city has it, and every household has it.

Especially in winter, there are a lot of gifts, and each household can get at least one thousand catties every month.

Now they know how to measure the weight of things with units of measurement such as catties and stones, and they naturally know the value of various living materials.

If it was changed to before the European colonial robbers invaded, when they still existed in the form of tribes, firewood, food, and cowhide to keep out the cold were the three most important living materials for all tribes.

At that time, a bundle of firewood that could burn for a day was basically equivalent to a person's food for a day. If it was winter, the firewood that could burn for a month could be exchanged for at least a piece of cowhide.

Calculated in this way, the firewood that can burn for two months in winter is worth at least one tael of silver.

In other words, the value of coal is about one tael of silver or two thousand catties.

This price seems very cheap, but the amount of coal mined is huge.

Both Xiqi Kingdom and Dongqi Kingdom now have large-scale open-pit mines developed by Da Ming. According to the Great Elder there, a plow excavator in Da Ming can mine [-] to [-] jin of coal a day, while a large mine over there There are hundreds of row plow excavators in open pit mines.

How much is that a day?
Of course, they did not want to share money with Daming when they calculated these accounts, on the contrary, they were calculating how much the coal that Daming gave them was worth.

Daming is so kind to them, teaching them to farm, helping them build cities, helping them capture bison, and giving them an untold amount of daily necessities. How dare they use other people's coal for nothing?
They always feel sorry for not giving back to Daming.

Originally, they wanted to pay taxes to Daming in order to repay Daming. The problem is that the North American Governor's Mansion refused to accept it!
This is even more serious, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming wants to share half of all the mine proceeds with them.

They feel sorry for not paying for the coal they used, and now Daming actually wants to give them a share of the money, how embarrassing are they?

All the elders froze for a moment, and immediately shook their heads and said, "Your Majesty, no, you are good enough to us, and we all want to pay tribute of food to thank you. We can no longer share the proceeds of the mine!"

You just need to have this heart.

Taichang raised his hands slightly, and when the elders calmed down, he said loudly: "These mines belong to you in the first place, and it is right to give you dividends, so there is no need to discuss this.

Let's discuss how to divide the proceeds of these mineral deposits. "

Uh, the emperor actually said that there is no need to discuss it anymore, what should we do?

They never thought of going against the emperor's wishes.

The emperor said no, so let's not discuss it.

As for how to divide the proceeds of the mine, they hadn't thought about it.

What kind of money?
We can't share Daming's money!

For a moment, all the great elders were stunned and silent.

Seeing this, Taichang said straightforwardly: "I have a general idea.

The three countries of the Sioux tribe equally share the income from the gold mines in the west of the Sula country, and each country sends 2 people to mine the mines. Daming will teach you how to smelt gold.

The six countries of the Algonquin tribe shared equally the proceeds from the open-pit iron mines west of the new Dongting Lake. Each country sent 1 people to mine, and Ming provided mining machinery.

The Three Kingdoms of the Apache Tribe, the Three Kingdoms of the Cherokee Tribe, and the Five Kingdoms of the Iroquois Tribe shared equally the income from the open-pit coal mines on the east coast. Each country sent 1 people to mine, and Ming also provided mining machinery.

What do you think? "

We feel bad!
All the great elders still shook their heads again and again: "Your Majesty, we can't ask for this money!"

Alas, this group of people, how do you get rich without it?

Taichang was quite touched and said: "I am very happy that you can treat yourself as the people of Ming Dynasty.

However, there is one thing that I'm not happy about.

Because you don't have much money, you can't buy what you want, and you can't live a good life.

I feel bad when I see that the people under my rule are not living a good life, do you know that?

Therefore, you must accept this money, so that I will feel better. "

Uh, this.

When the elders heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing this, Taichang simply said: "Okay, this matter is settled like this.

I still have something to ask for your help, so let's not waste time discussing these. "

help?

OK!

We love to hear that.

All the elders nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell us, we will definitely help."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then explained: "This is how it is.

Do you still remember the European colonial bandits who invaded your tribal territory?
After they were beaten away by us, they went to the South American continent.

I can't let this gang of colonial robbers rob things and develop, do you understand?

If they were allowed to develop, they would come to invade the North American continent, and even run over from the other side to invade Ming's territory.

Therefore, I must lead the army to deal with them and drive them out of the South American continent.

I won't hide it from you, Daming doesn't have enough troops right now, so I want to borrow 10 troops from you to deal with those colonial robbers. "

There is nothing to say about this kind of thing.

Su Feng, Su Qiang and other elders of the Su tribe glanced at each other, and immediately ran to the middle of the royal road, bowed their hands together and said, "One hundred thousand warriors of the Su tribe are willing to die for the emperor!"

Oh, you bastard, you are not kind!
Don't think that you are a famous warrior and we will let you do everything.

We can let you do other things, can we let you do this?

The great elder of the Algonquin tribe hurried to the middle of the royal road, squeezed Su Feng away, and then bowed his hands and said, "One hundred thousand warriors of the Algonquin tribe are willing to die for the emperor."

What are you doing? Are you as fierce as us when it comes to fighting?
Not to be outdone, Sun Hongniu, the chief elder of the Apache tribe, ran straight to the middle of the royal road, pushed the two of them away like a cow, and then bowed his hands and said, "One hundred thousand warriors of the Apache tribe are willing to die for the emperor."

When the elders of the Cherokee and Iroquois tribes saw the situation, they stopped doing it.

Immediately, they sent the two strongest elders to rush forward, squeeze the three of them away, and rushed to say:
"One hundred thousand warriors of the Cherokee tribe are willing to die for the emperor."

"One hundred thousand warriors of the Iroquois tribe will die for the emperor."

What is this for?

Stop fighting.

Taichang quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop, don't worry."

When the five elders heard this, they stopped pushing each other and stood there respectfully.

Taichang then explained: "This time we are not going to fight people desperately, we are going to stop them from grabbing things.

Therefore, you can rest assured that the warriors you sent to help this time will not suffer heavy casualties.

The reason why I ask you for help is mainly because South America was originally the territory of your Indian tribe.

Although their population is not very large now, they are basically the ones doing hard work, collecting and transporting materials.

What I mean is, go talk to them and tell them that if you follow Daming, you don't have to work as coolies for those colonial bandits.

I hope they can, like you, form a tribal alliance to resist the invasion of colonial robbers and drive them away.

In this way, those colonial robbers would have nothing to rob.

Do you understand? "

That's what it means.

The five quickly cupped their hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then confessed: "So, the people sent this time don't have to be able to fight, but they must be smart, and don't send all men, but also send some women.

How about this, each of your tribes picks out 2 horses, okay? "

No problem at all.

The five quickly clasped their hands again and said: "My minister obeys the order."
