Those who lost precious metals returned home because gold and silver became more and more valuable, and the prices of raw materials were also lower and lower. Countries with precious metals took them out and purchased these raw materials before dumping them, and then squeezed them back to the money they bought. As a result, they were squeezed and dried, and the more they squeezed, the poorer they became.

In the whole of Asia, the only one who can escape the exploitation of Shandong Zhengfu was probably Ryukyu Kingdom. The Ryukyu Kingdom had a small and few people and nothing could be regarded as anything. At this time, Ryukyu Kingdom maintained a good relationship with Shandong Zhengfu. North Korea and Jiaozhi were ruthlessly destroyed, and Tufan was even destroyed to the point of being left.

The Ryukyu Kingdom was obviously very sensible. He learned from the Ming Dynasty to set up a cabinet and handed over the power, while the cabinet members were Shandong officials.

It was also annexed in disguise, but the King of Ryukyu still retained the title of a king, and 20% of Ryukyu's taxes are used for royal expenses.

Shandong officials and merchant ships are constantly dispatched from Shandong and are establishing a complete colonial system in East Asia. If this colonial system is established, China's territory will expand several times. Trade will also emerge, and the number of people going to do business in the country has doubled this year, and it is still increasing.

Today, Shandong political axes are contrary to the attitude of banning merchants from going to sea in previous dynasties, and instead encourage merchants to go to sea for business, but there are still certain restrictions.

Navigation and Technical School is one of the most popular technical schools. Sailors who graduate from Navigation and Technical School will definitely find a job and their salary is not low. At the same time, after training, they are also responsible for acting as the eyes and ears of Shandong Zhengfu, supervising whether merchants evade taxes.

This year, the maritime trade volume has increased significantly, and Shandong's factories have also passed the tax exemption period. Armed police forces in all provinces collect commercial taxes. At the same time, Shandong's salt will dominate the world this year.

Although there has been no large-scale war this year, the income will definitely not be low.

...Su Buheng led his fleet to South Africa in April, and arrived in South Africa's Cape of Good Hope in May. In the Cape of Good Hope, they encountered the Dutch.

On that day, Su Buheng directly bombarded the Dutch's stronghold established by the Cape of Good Hope, and 1,500 soldiers landed ashore under the cover of artillery fire. The Dutch in the Cape of Good Hope did not expect that the Ming navy would appear here, and wasn't the two sides negotiated peace?

There is no warning or excuse. There is no excuse for the truth in the age of cannon range.

Su Buheng bombarded the Dutch stronghold for two days and finally blasted the Dutch stronghold. Under the cover of artillery, soldiers from the Nanyang Infantry Brigade captured the Dutch stronghold in the Cape of Good Hope that day.

The Dutch's strongholds were relatively complete, with blacks cultivating wheat fields and scattered vegetables in the area, all to provide supplies to passing Dutch ships.

After the Dutch strongholds fell, these developed things also fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, which saved the first fleet from building.

Occupying South Africa's Cape of Good Hope, the gold troops coming with the fleet began to explore gold.

The general said that there was a lot of gold here, and there must be a lot of gold here. The gold troops began to explore inland South Africa, and the gold in South Africa was not obvious.

Europeans also discovered that South Africa had a lot of gold in the 19th century, and they had never paid much attention to this region before.

...And in Zhaojiabao, a major moment has come.

At a time of fruitful results, 160,000 primary school students graduated. On the day these students graduated, they all came to Zhaojiabao.

Zhao Yan and a group of senior officials attended the graduation ceremony as usual.

This year, 160,000 graduates, nearly 120,000 people have met the age requirement, and can work after training, and 40,000 people continue to go to school.

Now Zhao Yan no longer calls, and directly forces the surname to intercept people according to their age. Those who intercept them can choose whether to be a teacher, a doctor, or a civil servant.

They are all iron rice bowls! Isn’t this treatment bad enough? As for those who go to school, they are all young, and these children are not yet able to reach the age of working.

However, nearly half of those who graduated this year were recruited by the administrative department.

60,000 civil servants, what does this mean? A civil servant’s monthly salary is 3 yuan, 36 yuan a year, plus the benefits reach 50 yuan, it will cost 3 million yuan a year.

Zhao Yan can afford 3 million yuan, but the number of people is indeed scary.

Recruiting so many civil servants is naturally to prepare for the administration of the Ming Dynasty. These personnel will be sent to the training class for training for half a year. In this half a year, the training class will teach them various administrative experiences and correct administrative methods.

Zhao Yan has been able to finish the training of this group of civil servants. As for education, let’s take a slower look!
Chapter completed!
