Zhu Youxiao’s golden army has been established for two years. After the beginning of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, the golden army once again explored many gold mines in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the more north it goes, the more gold mine resources it becomes.&1t;/p>

Last year, the gold troops had mined nearly 100,000 taels of gold in the Heilongjiang River Basin. In the sixth year of Tianqi, with the northward movement of the mining range, 150,000 taels of gold were mined in just half a year. It was very easy to mine 300,000 taels of gold throughout the year.&1t;/p>

The reason why there is such a rich gold here is mainly because there is no nation that has mastered gold mining technology. After the surface gold is mined, I don’t know how to mine the gold below the surface.&1t;/p>

In fact, this is the case all over the world. This is the case in America, Australia and many islands in the South Ocean.&1t;/p>

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a golden force landing in the later American Alaska region, and successfully discovered gold mines in Alaska.&1t;/p>

At the same time, in Nanyang, Taiwan, Luzon, Borneo and other places, the gold troops established by Zhu Youxiao have all discovered gold mines and mined them. During the exploration process of Luzon, the gold troops also discovered many copper mines, which are located in the mountainous areas of the North Island of Luzon and in the southern part of Luzon.&1t;/p>

Luzon's copper ore is very rich, and copper is even more scarce in the Ming Dynasty than gold. There was no gold at the moment, but the demand for copper was too great. Not only did it take a lot of copper to cast copper coins, but the demand for copper is also very large among the people. Copper can be used to make copperware, and these copperwares are very popular in the market, both internal and external.&1t;/p>

Not to mention that copper is needed to be used in military affairs, and Zhu Youxiao has already started to ask someone to study telegrams. After this thing is developed, copper is also needed to lay telegram lines.&1t;/p>

Luzon's copper mine is indeed relatively rich and is ranked in the world.&1t;/p>

The gold troops also launched gold mine exploration in Australia in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. A lot of gold was found in Australia and successfully found gold mines in southeastern Australia. They immediately declared to the imperial court for mining.&1t;/p>

In the Ming Dynasty, the exploration scale of gold mines was not large, but the gold mines and silver mines that had already appeared were within the mining scope of the gold troops, and the labor force for mining was sufficient, because the Ming Dynasty has now begun to implement the conscript system.&1t;/p>

In the sixth year of the Tianqi period, eight agricultural production corps, three construction corpses, and one mining production corps were formed, which was specifically responsible for mining silver and gold mines.&1t;/p>

These agricultural production corps were sent to the border areas for agricultural production, and also conducted military training and night school education. The service time was four years. After the service period of the conscript, after four years of cultural education, they could have a certain level of culture. The textbooks for night school were mainly based on national policies, laws, and historical textbooks that could stimulate national honor.&1t;/p>

This will allow them to understand the benefits of national policies to the people, understand basic legal knowledge, and have a sense of national honor.&1t;/p>

For conscripts with excellent academic performance, they can also be sent to Beijing for further studies. Some are promoted to grassroots officers after further studies, while others are transferred to the University of Political Science and Law for further studies. Some will be sent to some agricultural and construction majors for further studies.&1t;/p>

This gives conscripts from ordinary families the opportunity to make a name for themselves.&1t;/p>

Ordinary conscripts can also learn things in agriculture, mining production corps, and construction corps. The best production facilities and technologies are used in the agricultural and mining production process. The soldiers of the construction corps can also learn how to build a construction work.&1t;/p>

As for agriculture, these agricultural production corps use the most advanced agricultural machinery. Any new agricultural equipment in the machinery manufacturing plant is first promoted in the production corps and has sufficient animal power for them to use. After serving for four years, they can also understand the latest agricultural production technology through the experience and operation step by step. Moreover, the production model of the agricultural production corps is not to refine agriculture, but to pursue the pursuit of maximum personal labor efficiency. These soldiers are very suitable for immigrating to the colonies after they are transferred because they know how to carry out agricultural production at the maximum efficiency. At the same time, the production corps also grow more crops, including some grain, cotton, vegetables, fruits, and some livestock, which are used to improve food.&1t;/p>

It is very cost-effective for the court to form these production corpses. First, it can allow ordinary families to train and learn in the army and have a positive effect on society. Second, it can allow the court to continuously create excellent talents. For these excellent talents, they can be promoted to basic officers, or sent to various fields for further study. They can be police officers, or they can be absorbed into state-owned enterprises.&1t;/p>

The third point is that the cost of forming these production corps is low. For example, the agricultural production corps. The agricultural products obtained by these conscripts every year can not only feed these conscripts, but also produce a large number of commercial agricultural products. These agricultural products can be sold or hoarded as strategic reserves. Their value has exceeded the military expenditure invested in these production corps.&1t;/p>

Fourth, during the war, these production corps can be put into combat. With the popularity of firearms, the soldiers of these production corps can also fight when they enter the battlefield.&1t;/p>

Those construction corps are responsible for the construction of highways, water conservancy facilities and other projects. The high efficiency of militarized management is fully reflected in the construction activities.&1t;/p>

Conscripts helped the court for four years for free, so they naturally received better treatment when they were discharged from the army. First, state-owned enterprises had a large number of positions to take the lead in considering these conscripts. At the same time, if these conscripts immigrated to the Kai District, they could also be allocated to land and get interest-free loans.&1t;/p>

Even if you become an ordinary worker after retirement, you can still move your household registration at will.&1t;/p>

Because these conscripts can eat enough, they have attracted young people from many regions to sign up. The military service has greatly broadened their horizons for ordinary children from poor areas and provided them with many ways out. After retirement, there are many options to consider.&1t;/p>

If you are willing to endure hardship, the Golden Force is a good place to go.&1t;/p>

The gold force not only explores gold, but also is responsible for the exploration of silver and copper mines, and is also responsible for exploration, mapping, recording various natural resources and other work.&1t;/p>

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, three production corps were sent to Nanyang to open up land, and they were also an important force in suppressing the indigenous people.&1t;/p>

After discussion with Sun Chuanting and others, Zhu Youxiao decided to set up another ten production corps next year, send seven to the islands of Nanyang, and send three production corps to Australia.&1t;/p>

The production corps model is absolutely easy to use. After those production corps (harmonious) are sent to Nanyang and Australia, they will likely stay there.&1t;/p>

During the Ming Dynasty's external expansion, it will inevitably encounter many indigenous forces. If all of them are directly faced by the people, it is likely to be bullied by the indigenous people.&1t;/p>

But send a group of young people under militarized management to go there. As long as the indigenous people dare to jump, the Ming Dynasty can immediately teach those indigenous people a lesson. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
