“Of course it’s good!”

Prime Minister Chen Yonghua took the lead in speaking.

"As long as the railway is completed, the Ming Dynasty will have the opportunity to enter Dongyinzhou, which is much stronger than the Shenfangzhang Province (Australia)!"

"The Prime Minister is right. The Abbot Province is large but not beautiful. There are only a few fields that can be cultivated. Looking at Dongyinzhou, the amount of cultivated land here, if developed, is probably greater than all the cultivated land in our Ming Dynasty.

One piece is too much, right?”

The farming gene rooted in the souls of Chinese people.

"That's the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hui next to him also nodded.

"However, such a continent can open up another world! If one day a country is established, it can compete with our own country, the Ming Dynasty."

Qiu Hui, the Minister of War, is very sensitive.

Yes, once such a large piece of land is successfully developed, it will definitely be quite powerful.

"Garrisoning more troops can deter disobedience..."

Some people may say that it is all because of the British tax increase that the people of the thirteen continental colonies rebelled.

£1,400.

Yes, you read that right, it’s only 1,400 pounds. Is this an excessive tax burden?

After all, there are lessons from history.

In fact, not only did the people of the North American colonies not pay taxes to Britain, but their income was much higher than the income of British citizens.

Because this colony is too big and rich in products, unlike a small colony, it will not have the strength to compete with the mother country no matter how much it develops.

Therefore, Zhu Kezang must solve this problem now.

Zhu Kezang deeply agreed with this.

Who can guarantee that "Lin Dengwan" will not break out in this land in the future and rebel against the Ming Dynasty?

"agree!"

Zhu Kezang said thoughtfully:

"Although this kind of thing may happen, we, the Ming Dynasty, have to take such a treasure land. What I mean is to prevent it, but we cannot completely deny what the imperial court did to Yinzhou just because of this possibility.

everything!"

The colonies were too far away from the mainland.

At that time, many British soldiers were doing odd jobs in Boston and other places to make quick money?

Finished discussing matters about America.

"Your Majesty, if the European countries come to buy sugar this year, how will they sell it? How much will each country sell to them?"

It's okay in the short term, but the long-term investment is too high.

"Secondly, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are excluded from NATO by Louis. The amount of sugar in these two countries should be the same."

University scholar Qu Dajun took the call and raised his concerns.

"Your Majesty, there is no other way!"

The historical background is that Britain spent a lot of money during the Seven Years' War between Britain and France. In order to reduce financial pressure, it added a total of 6 taxes to the North American colonies.

"We don't want to rush this matter now. Yin Zhou's strength has not yet been revealed. Now, let's not consider this. We will only talk about Liu Junqing's plan. Should we agree to it?"

It was because of the huge income gap between the two places. According to one source, the income gap between the colonial people and the British was as high as 4 to 5 times.

For a time, everyone was complimenting one after another, but Zhu Kezang asked: "How did all dynasties prevent this kind of problem?"

Although the War of Independence was not directly caused by taxation, it was indeed related to Britain's later tax increases.

"I think that the imperial court can use one way to prevent it, and that is to station soldiers!"

Not to mention, five of these tax increase bills were canceled in less than two years, and the remaining tea tax is completely symbolic.

"What Qiu Shangshu said makes sense. Yinzhou is far away from the sea. It is already very risky to develop on the west coast. If we shift the focus of development to the plains on the east coast, it will be even further away from our Ming Dynasty. Although it can be done in

There are many railways and ditches in Panama, but once the local people become dissatisfied and rebel against the imperial court, it will be very difficult for the imperial court to send troops to recover..."

Zhu Kezang chuckled:

"First of all, France must not be able to sell it. This is our main enemy now. Even if they can get some sugar through smuggling through Kang Mazi, our Ming Dynasty must not sell it to them.

Sugar!"

The British considered that compared with the cost of defeating the French and the cost necessary to protect the thirteen continental frontiers in the future, the taxes collected were a drop in the bucket. It is completely reasonable for us to fight for you and you to bear part of the cost.

Never in the history of dynasties did the Ming Dynasty have such a large territory!

Strength determines ambition.

Moreover, they still colluded with foreign forces (France) to resist the suzerain!

This kind of thing is by no means an exception, it is almost inevitable, especially in a colony as large as Yinzhou.

"After all, if such a continent has been opened up and developed successfully, with millions of people, and all the people are soldiers, how many troops can the Ming Dynasty send to conquer the rebellion? One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is not enough!"

Colonies established with the support of the mother country and investing a lot of resources are unwilling to continue to support the mother country after their wings have become stronger!

Ever since, they raised their guns to resist the clan leader!

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

Historically, the independence of the thirteen colonies in North America, no matter how the United States whitewashed it after taking office, could not change the real reasons for their independence.

And most importantly, this colony is too big.

This is basically called no tax, okay!

The actual situation is that the tax burden imposed on the North American colonies by the mother country, the United Kingdom, is not a problem of being too heavy, but that the so-called "tax" does not exist at all.

It’s very clear when we look at one piece of data: How much total tax do the 13 North American colonies pay to Britain every year?

Besides, with their high incomes, this little tax increase will not affect their lives at all. Why do they need to risk their lives with guns to fight for independence?

Even Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, couldn't figure out why his compatriots were so hot-tempered in the early days.

A mere tax is not worth such a fierce resistance.

"agree!"

The British earned 5 pence for a day's work in the mainland, but in Boston or Philadelphia they could get 2 shillings (1 shilling equals 12 pence).

Liu Dian, the Minister of Rites, mentioned another incident.

Zhu Kezang shook his head. He already had a plan in his mind. He would send all his children to be kings there. If they were beaten to death, they would still belong to his family.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Hui, the Minister of War next to him, stroked his beard and came forward to say.

Once it is built, it will undoubtedly be a powerful country that is not inferior to the local one.

"As for the Ottomans, they can buy as much as they want!"

"If the Rakshasa Kingdom wants to buy it, the minimum share will be given."

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

After Zhu Kezang finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace praised him one after another, but some ministers were worried and said:

"Your Majesty, Kang Mazi produces a lot of sugar over there. What if Kang Mazi wants to sell sugar to Europe?"
