Lord Moyu was forced to open

After intense discussions, the two sides finally reached an armistice agreement as follows.

1. European countries issued a formal statement to apologize to the Song Dynasty for their attempt to invade it.

2. All European countries, a total of 33 countries involved in this matter, paid the Song Dynasty 1.32 billion taels of silver as war reparations.

3. European countries must cede the entire Malay Straits and a piece of land in East Asia that is no less than 800 miles in radius, as well as the ownership of the exile continent!

Fourth, European countries must immediately reduce tariffs to normal levels, and must not arbitrarily increase tariffs on Song Dynasty goods without the consent of the Song Dynasty. Even if tariffs are increased, the merchants of the Song Dynasty can still pay normal taxes! "

The entire treaty has four clauses, each of which is as demanding as a lion's mouth, but this is already the best condition that Qiu Ji'er can give. As for the part about land, he needs to consult with the country before he can give an answer.

The two sides reached an agreement on this point, and after Europa's reply, they would immediately sign the defeat agreement disguised as an armistice agreement.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty is wise!"

When Qiu Jier left, the playground was suddenly filled with cheers of excitement.

This negotiation not only achieved their original goal, but also significantly increased the amount of compensation to Europa.

Zhao Jun knew that everyone was very excited and did not disturb everyone's interest at this time.

He smiled at the excited officials below, and spoke after a long while, letting everyone calm down, and then said to everyone:

"In the next period of time, we must hide our true intentions and not let Qiu Jier find out!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, rest assured, it will definitely not come out of our mouths!"

Someone immediately stood up to make the guarantee, and the others also saluted and made the guarantee. Only then did Zhao Jun nod and choose to believe it.

After returning to his residence, Qiu Jier immediately began to write letters to his country, in which he wrote down the contents of the armistice agreement and his own opinions, in an effort to get all European countries to agree to the armistice agreement.

After sending the letter, he began to stroll around the Bianjing City, which seemed to him to be just like the city of dreams.

While waiting for Europa's reply, the first fleet sent to the New World finally sent back news that they had arrived in the New World.

According to the strategy that the imperial court had already set, the first thing the fleet did after disembarking from the New World was to quickly seize the territory of a tribe and begin building a base.

During this period, other Indian tribes in the New World also had conflicts with this fleet and expressed their dissatisfaction with their sudden arrival.

But under the education of artillery and crossbows, the local tribes quickly accepted the fact that they had a new neighbor.

This fleet also firmly established its foothold in the New World.

Since this group of people had no intention of expanding further after gaining their foothold, other tribes in the New World gradually accepted the fact of their existence and no longer caused trouble, allowing the first fleet to build a base in peace.

Now the local area has already taken shape as a basic city. With the help of various technical talents that went on the ship, everything in the Song Dynasty has begun to take shape there.

But now they have encountered a problem - lack of manpower.

Although there were many Indians in the New World, they had no culture at all and obviously did not meet the requirements for manpower.

So they could only send a request for help to their country, and at the same time they also transported back a batch of supplies they had collected in the New World.

The first and most eye-catching thing is definitely rubber, a specialty of the New World.

Three Zhenguo-class battleships were loaded with rubber from the distant New World.

Following closely behind are shiploads of gold and silver!
That’s right! It’s gold and silver!
The first fleet landed next to a river. To their surprise, they found gold under the riverbed!
You just need to use a dustpan to continuously sift away the mud and sand to get the golden sand, and then after forging and smelting, the gold will appear.

Not only gold, even silver and copper mines were discovered around the station.

This moment made people crazy. All the crew members got a share and made a lot of money.

Today, the New World produces two tons of silver ore and smelts one ton of gold every day.

It's like you can pick up money just by bending down.

What's more, they even used some unique things of the Song Dynasty to exchange gold and silver with the surrounding tribes.

For these tribes that have lived here for generations, even if they take the gold back for decoration, the accumulated amount is huge over time, and they have earned hundreds of gold nuggets.

Now, all of them have been exchanged by the Song people for some worthless things in the Song Dynasty.

After counting, the Ministry of Revenue confirmed that the fleet brought back a total of 300 million taels of gold and 600 million taels of silver, totaling 3600 million taels of silver!

This does not include the value of other things brought back, just the gold and silver.

This huge sum of money entered the Ministry of Revenue in front of everyone's eyes.

When people learned that these were shipped back from the New World, the whole city of Bianjing was once again in turmoil.

Orders from coastal shipyards also skyrocketed at this moment!
Who doesn’t want to go to the New World to pick up gold and silver?
Zhao Jun was reading a letter he received from the New World. The letter said that everything was fine at the base except for the problem of medicinal materials. Many of the local plants were new to the doctors.

So they didn't dare to use them casually, and the medicinal herbs they originally brought with them had been gradually exhausted during the long journey.

Many soldiers fell ill as soon as they arrived ashore because they were not adapted to the local climate.

But there is no medicine to cure it, which is the biggest headache in the camp.

As stated in the letter, they hope that the mainland can prepare some medicinal seeds and medicinal herbs for them on the next batch of ships so that they can become self-reliant.

Zhao Jun agreed to this request and immediately asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare a batch of medicinal materials that could be used or potentially used, while the imperial doctors prepared medicinal seeds, all of which were excellent varieties selected from the best.

It was sent out along with the second fleet.

This time, many more people volunteered to go to the New World.

The second fleet, carrying 3 people, set out on the journey again.

When the second group of the imperial court set out, many merchants and sea merchants along the southeast coast who had been waiting for a long time immediately followed the fleet, wanting to go to the New World to pan for gold together.
And Zhao Jun agreed to it, which was his arrangement and intention.

It will probably take until next year for the next fleet to return. As for those adventurous people who want to go to the New World to pan for gold, can they arrive safely?

Whether they can find the gold and return with glory depends on their own luck.

In the Age of Discovery, if you want a better life, you have to risk your life. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.

Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you will have no chance even if you risk your life.

Just as the second wave of fleet had just left, a group of strange-looking men in white clothes leading camels slowly walked into the city of Bianjing.
