Chapter 141 Hundreds and thousands! Zhang Juzheng, let’s start with you! (4.6k please order!)(2/2)
After several deep breaths, Fatty Hong Xi finally recovered.
Ji Boying was shocked. If Hong Xi's time and space portal was closed because he sent these one hundred thousand taels, he would really have no place to cry.
After taking a breath, Ji Boying swept away these emperors and princes.
What he just said is not an exaggeration at all.
After the Potosi silver mine was discovered and mined in Spain in 1545, during the peak mining period, more than 60% of the world's silver came from the Potosi silver mine.
"Brother, then, can we also send a ship to open up this new route to South America?!"
Lao Zhu also became excited instantly.
This is one hundred thousand taels of silver! I would never dare to dream of so much silver!
Although there is already Japanese silver, who would think there is too much money?!
"Of course."
Ji Boying nodded.
"The further forward in time, the more advantageous it will be."
Spain discovered the American continent by Columbus in 1492 (the fifth year of Hongzhi). In 1498 (the thirteenth year of Hongzhi), Columbus discovered the South American continent. In 1512 (the seventh year of Zhengde), Spain established its first American continent colony in Panama.
, In 1513 (the eighth year of Zhengde), the Spanish crossed the Isthmus of Panama and claimed that the Atlantic Ocean and all American lands were owned by the Spanish crown. A few years later, the Inca Empire, which owned the Andes Mountains, perished. In 1545 (the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing), Spain
The Potosi silver deposit was discovered and mined in the Andes Mountains.
According to this timetable, as long as they land in South America before Zhengde, Spain can occupy the Andes Mountains and the Potosi silver mines first.
Of course, for convenience, the only indigenous Inca empire in South America needs to be destroyed in the process.
And this difficulty is not great for Ming Dynasty who owns firearms.
Even if they arrive in Zhengde, they can still attack hard. After all, Spain did not have many troops stationed in South America in the early days and did not know the existence of the Potosi Silver Mine. As long as there is an information gap, the Potosi Silver Mine will be sent to the Potosi Silver Mine as soon as possible.
Just hold it in your hand, and the chance of winning is still very high.
Even if that doesn't work, it would be fine to have a 50-50 joint mining deal with Spain.
As soon as Ji Boying said these words, everyone became excited.
"Opening new ocean routes is a difficult thing."
"If you can get silver from Japan, you don't have to worry about South America. The silver in Japan is enough for your early expansion plan. You can wait until the great voyage is further developed before you consider it."
The emperors looked very excited and nodded on the surface. In fact, Ji Boying knew that what he said was the same as whether he didn't.
Now that I know there is such a place in the world that contains a treasure mine of one hundred thousand taels of silver, I must dig it back.
"Master, what about me?"
Jiajing Immortal was stunned.
He was happy for a long time, and finally discovered something.
From the beginning to the end, Master never mentioned his name!
Don’t I, the majestic Longevity Emperor, deserve to own these one hundred thousand taels of silver? This is all my money!
"Cherish the beauty, cut the cake, and give each person a piece."
Ji Boying ignored Immortal Jiajing's question, raised his hand, and found two more cakes next to the globe. After all, one globe cake was obviously not enough for more than thirty people.
As for the issue of ignoring Jiajing, it’s not that he has any objections to the Jiajing Immortal, he just doesn’t want to attack Jiajing.
In the 24th year of Jiajing, Spain has colonized South America for more than 30 years, and has mined the Potosi silver mine for more than a year, which will inevitably strengthen the defense force.
Of course, the more important thing is that the Spanish Empire at the time of Jiajing was at the peak of its strength and was a serious maritime overlord. Maybe Ming would not lose if it faced Congo on land, but if it were a head-to-head confrontation at sea, Ming would have a huge advantage.
The probability is that the boat will capsize.
Ji Boying looked at these excited emperors and princes, and returned to their seats one by one.
Lianxiangxiyu cut the three 'globes' into equal pieces and gave them to the emperor, crown prince and twelve important ministers present.
Immortal Jiajing was ignored and sat in his seat with a disappointed look on his face.
At this moment, his heart was extremely painful.
‘Why do others have hundreds of thousands of taels, but I don’t even have a dime?!’
‘Is this the fate of cultivators?’
‘How do you feel about your luck with a small amount of money?’
'That's not right...'
Immortal Jiajing suddenly thought of an idea.
‘Money is something external to the body and can most easily affect the Taoist mind. Isn’t this Master testing our character?!’
Thinking of this, the Jiajing Immortal smiled.
Sure enough, I was the only one who figured out the mystery!
Of course, Ji Boying doesn't care what the immortal Zhu Houcong is thinking.
He just thought of one thing.
What should we do with those time and space at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Where should they go to get money?
Long Qing: Me Ji is enough.
Wanli: None of my business.
Taichang: I don’t have time to spend money.
Tianqi: How much money can wood cost?
Chongzhen: I know how to save!
After a cup of tea.
Ji Boying didn't think of a solution for the time being, and for the late Ming Dynasty, losing the country's currency rights was a more difficult thing to do.
I took a breath and glanced at everyone who had just finished eating the cake.
Eating cake for the first time, it can be seen that it is still in line with the taste of all the emperors and princes, especially the three Zhu Gaochi. Except for Yongle Zhu Gaochi, who is supervising weight loss, the other two fat ones each have five small plates on the table.
p>
Serves five people per person.
"Take your heart away from money."
"Next, let's continue the topic we left in the previous class."
Following the immortal master’s words.
Everyone was still chatting excitedly in their seats about the matter of one hundred thousand taels of silver, but they suddenly fell silent.
My eyes fell on the line of words on the rice paper on the panel.
"How to maintain the foundation of the empire"
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest;
The hundred-story tower collapsed in the tired earth.
For an empire, the fundamentals are the foundation and the lifeline.
When the fundamentals of an empire begin to collapse, that is when the foundation is rotten and the lifeline is broken.
With his hands behind his back, Ji Boying swept past the group of emperors and princes.
All the emperors and princes felt their hearts pounding and lowered their heads subconsciously. They all had experience in class and knew that when the immortal master showed such a look, more than 80% of them would ask questions.
"You ministers, please answer, what is the core point of the empire's fundamentals?"
Ji Boying's eyes passed over the emperor and the prince sitting in his seat, and fell on a group of important ministers sitting on both sides.
The emperor and princes all breathed a sigh of relief, while the important ministers were stunned.
They obviously didn't expect that their secretaries, who were taking notes for their boss, would have a say, and they all thought about the answer quickly.
‘Fortunately, I’m the last one, so I can refer to other people’s answers first.’
Zhang Juzheng silently rejoiced in his heart, calmly observing others.
"Zhang Juzheng, let's start with you."
The voice of the immortal master echoed in the classroom.
Ding.
Zhang Shuai, who was about to learn from the answer: (?д?)!
