We still need to be able to use profits to drive people to develop these places like Huangjinzhou.

The reason why I want to vigorously develop Winter City is of course to block the eastward advance of the Slavs and drive the tribes of the Kazakh Khanate westward to plunder the Slavs. It is also to prevent the rise of the Muscovy Principality.

The treasure land of Siberia must be in the hands of the Ming Empire.

Its resources are too many and too rich. It is a huge treasure house. How can it be taken advantage of by the Slavs?

Now that Liu Jian has asked about this matter, he must be tricked.

If he, the chief minister of the cabinet, excitedly goes to Siberia to dig for treasures, then other people who receive the news will naturally follow suit.

Siberia is a vast land with very rich resources. In time, someone will definitely be able to get rich by tapping the resources, and more people will be attracted to develop Siberia.

Anyway, I am not telling lies. Siberia is indeed rich in resources and minerals. If we occupy the place now, we can indeed sell the resources to make a living in the future.

It's not a lie either.

But in this short period of time, if you believe Liu Jin, you will probably fall into a deep pit.

Siberia currently has no people and no transportation. It is really difficult to develop it.

Perhaps compared to the desert of the Persian Gulf, a better place here is that you don't have to worry about water. You can fish for pearls and sell them in the Persian Gulf, and you can also hunt and sell furs in Siberia for the time being.

"Siberia?"

When Liu Jian and Li Dongyang heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Of course they know about Siberia. This northwest province has a vast area but the smallest population among all the provinces. No official is willing to go anywhere to become an official.

It's so cold in the winter that water turns into ice. You actually told me that this is a good place. It's rich in resources and has a promising future?

Only a ghost would believe you.

But thinking about it again, it seems that Liu Jin has always been honest. Desert areas like the Persian Gulf are said to contain indispensable resources and huge wealth in the future.

It seems that some resources in this vast Siberia have been acquired.

"It's too cold somewhere. I heard that in winter, the snow can drown people. And it's deserted, so it's really not a good place."

Li Dongyang thought for a while and said.

After all, there are still people in the Persian Gulf, and there are still Arab tribes in the surrounding desert oases. As long as there is water, the Persian Gulf can become very beautiful.

But it's so cold in Siberia. There are very few savages and primitive tribes. Even if there is gold everywhere, there is no way to pick it up.

"Believe it or not, Siberia is no worse than the Persian Gulf. It is cold now, but it may not be cold in the future."

Liu Jin smiled and said, as if you believe it or not.

I will definitely not tell you about the good places. They should be left to our descendants as much as possible. Being able to tell you about Siberia is actually very good.

In fact, there are good places everywhere in the world. As long as you can occupy a piece of it, future generations will not have to worry about it.
