Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 761

Xinma City finally arrived. Luo Sigong turned his binoculars habitually to scan the port pier, and he was stunned.

Since when are there so many boats here?
When he came last time, the pier where the big ship docked was still mostly empty, but now it is almost full!

Also, where did the boats going back and forth on the river come from?
These small boats were all the octopus boats and net shuttle boats of the Daming Navy, so he naturally knew them.

When the Wanli Dynasty fought against Japanese pirates in the vassal state of Korea, he often took this kind of boat to spy on the enemy.

The question is, how could such a small boat travel across the ocean to come here?
Even if you don't encounter a storm at sea, it's impossible to row tens of thousands of miles by people!

Moreover, the people on these small boats are not the soldiers of the Daming Navy, but people from the primitive tribes here.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?
He couldn't help turning the binoculars to sweep across the bank of the pharmaceutical factory, and he was dumbfounded again.

There was a planned shipyard over there, of course he knew.

The problem, when he came last time, the shipyard was still full of logs and branches, and there was no shadow of the shipyard.

At this moment, rows of docks, waterways and factory buildings appeared over there!

My God, how long has it been!
He also knew that the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty was able to build everything very quickly, surprisingly fast.

However, he did not expect that in such a short period of less than a month, they not only built the shipyard, but also built dozens of octopus boats and net shuttle boats.

This speed is simply too terrifying.

Zuma and Atlantis beside him were also dumbfounded at the moment.

Of course, they didn't know what scene was here, and they didn't have binoculars.

However, what they saw in front of them was enough to make them dumbfounded.

The scene here is so spectacular that they have never dreamed of it!
It's not that they haven't seen the port terminal, there is one in Bayeux City.

Moreover, their parents were both trafficked from the African continent and had also been on a boat. When they were young, their parents often described to them what ports, what docks, what giant ships.

However, what they heard and saw before was at most a few docks and twenty or thirty giant ships.

The port here is lined with piers, and there are so many giant ships that they cannot be counted!
Is this the legendary Daming?

How powerful is the Ming Empire?

Of course this is not the legendary Daming.

As for how powerful the Ming Empire is, it may take them a long time to understand.

It was with great difficulty that Luo Sigong found a large empty pier to dock the dozen or so buildings and gunboats he had brought.

The reason why he brought so many large ships this time was mainly to transport mahogany, because he had already carefully selected millions of catties of mahogany, and this time he happened to bring them together.

He really didn't expect that the big ship would have to find a pier when it docked this time.

Right now, Taichang was discussing with Peng Bin, Du Linzheng and Xia Yunyi how to deal with the timber here.

Because there is too much wood hoarded in Xinma City, and with the continuous opening of roads and construction of cities everywhere, there must be more and more wood here.

Naturally, these timbers cannot be hoarded and placed here. It is only reasonable to quickly find a way to turn these timbers into money.

The problem is that at the moment the largest amount of wood is still in Daming.

Because the local area of ​​Ming Dynasty is the place with the most developed manufacturing industry, all kinds of ships, household items, daily necessities, etc., are produced the most in the local area of ​​Ming Dynasty, and the wood needed is also massive.

It may take more than ten years to use up the tens of millions of lumber stored here. However, it is estimated that these lumber will be consumed within a year or two after they are brought to the mainland of Daming.

The key problem now is that they don't have so many ships. Tens of millions of timber, at least tens of thousands of ships can hold it. Even if they only pull back half of it, they will need five or six thousand merchant ships.

At this moment, there are only more than 1000 merchant ships in the entire Ming Dynasty. Where can he find so many merchant ships?

Perhaps, if the Dutch are invited to come and pull it, half of the timber here can really be pulled to Daming.

Of course, that's not possible.

Invite the Dutch to pull the wood, and they will probably pull it back to Europe directly!
At this moment, they really have no good solution, they can only negotiate to bring back a hundred boats of the most valuable timber first, and make some money before talking.

The most valuable thing here is mahogany. This time, we must pull back 100 million catties of high-quality mahogany, and the load capacity of a merchant ship happens to be millions of catties.

In other words, they can earn tens of millions of taels just for this boat!

In addition, some woods for making household items and daily necessities are also more valuable, such as teak, camphor, oak and so on.

Although these are not as valuable as mahogany, there is no problem selling a few 10 taels per ship, and tens of millions of taels for 99 ships.

Of course, these have to be sold to make money. Moreover, they also have to consider the local timber market in Daming, try not to transport more of the same type of timber there, and completely mess up the prices. .

They even want to encourage relevant merchants to produce more products using these timbers according to the types of timber here, so as to ensure that these timbers can be consumed, and at the same time allow merchants to make money and continue to purchase in the future.

In short, tens of millions of taels a year is not so easy to earn.

They were discussing, when Liu Shiyou walked in suddenly, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigong, is here."

This means Cao Cao, is Cao Cao coming?
Tai Changgang was still thinking about whether to send the Clippers to recruit Luo Sigong. After all, he had already handed over the mahogany market to others.

Unexpectedly, this guy ran over by himself.

Of course he said without hesitation: "Quick pass."

Soon, Luo Sigong came in.

However, behind him was a Desierra's confidant and two black boys.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

These two black guys are really dark, especially they are wearing a pair of white cloth shorts, in contrast with black and white, they are really dark at home.

Seeing this, Taichang got up and said, "Sigong, is this the black slave rescued from Paraiba?"

Before Luo Sigong replied immediately, he first bowed his hands respectfully and said, "See Your Majesty."

Then he gestured to the two black boys behind him.

Zuma and Atlantis kowtow respectfully on the ground inside and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Uh, these two young men actually spoke Daming official dialect!
Taichang couldn't help but wondered: "Where did they learn Ming Mandarin?"

Luo Sigong quickly explained: "Your Majesty, their Da Ming official dialect was taught by my ministers.

They didn't know how to speak Daming official dialect before, but they speak Portuguese very well.

Originally, Wei Chen also wanted to try, to see if they could learn Daming Mandarin.

Unexpectedly, they would simply communicate with us in Daming Mandarin in just a few days. "

Uh, well, black people seem to be really gifted with languages.

Taichang nodded slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Get up."

The two black guys really got up from the ground.

This proves that people can really understand simple Daming Mandarin.

Taichang couldn't help but asked with interest: "What's your name?"

The two black guys immediately bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, the grassroots are called Zuma."

"Back to the emperor, the grass people's name is Atlantis."

Uh, the Temple of Zuma and Atlantis?

When Taichang heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The legendary Atlantis seems to be really near Africa.

Perhaps, there is a divine will in the dark, or perhaps this is a different kind of revelation.

He even had an idea of ​​what to call the army of niggers.

Since the names of these two people are related to gods, the army composed of these black slaves will be called the Black God Army in the future. I hope their gods can bless them.

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Well, very good, your names are all good.

I won’t talk too much, but I will ask you, do you want to take back your homeland, do you want to drive away the colonial bandits who are rampant on the African continent? "

Uh, Zuma and Atlante don't seem to understand such "complicated" words.

Fortunately, Luo Sigong also specially brought a close friend of De Xie La to act as an interpreter.

After listening to the translation, they immediately nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!"

Those colonial robbers are really robbers among robbers. They even rob people. If those colonial robbers are not driven away, they will not be able to survive in their own homes.

Because people may rush into their tribe at any time, tie them up with iron chains, and take them to sell!
Moreover, once someone dares to resist, they will be killed immediately.

Of course they want to drive away those colonial robbers and take back their homeland.

Hearing this, Taichang nodded slightly and said: "I can help you regain your homeland and drive away the colonial bandits, but you must first learn the culture of Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can Daming help you.

More importantly, you must remember who helped you.

If you forget one day, Daming won't help you anymore.

Remember? "

This sentence is more complicated than the previous sentence, so Zuma and Atlanta naturally couldn't understand it.

After hearing the translation, they hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "We must remember Daming's kindness, and we will never forget it!"

All right, as long as you can remember.

If you can't remember, then you are the ones who suffer.

A person's life is determined by himself. How others treat you depends on how you treat them.

If you can repay your kindness, Daming will naturally help you all the time.

If you are ungrateful, not only will Da Ming not help you, but he will help others to destroy you!
Of course, Taichang would not say this.

These have to be experienced by themselves and grasped by themselves. Others say it is useless.

He nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's discuss here today, you go to your own affairs, I will send them to Xin'anyang to settle down first."

Making money is of course very important, but cleaning up the European powers is more important.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you earn, you will not feel at ease.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

The European colonial bandits are the most vicious bandits in the world. Once these colonial bandits develop, the richer Da Ming becomes, the more they want to destroy Da Ming and take all of Da Ming's wealth for themselves!
And this Africa is an important part of cleaning up the European colonial robbers.

As long as the whole of Africa is under the control of the Black God Army trained by Ming Dynasty, the European colonial bandits will basically be trapped in the small European continent and unable to leave their homes.

At that time, they may have problems eating, and they still want to develop, even if it is a dream!
