My Life Simulator

Wang Zhi's judgment is correct.

Lu Li didn't mean to kill him at all. After the destroyers drove the Japanese pirates out of Malacca, they did not pursue them.

The Port of Johor, also known as Singapore. This is the throat of the entire Strait of Malacca.

In this narrow waterway between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, there are also the Riau Islands.

As long as a base is built here, a few forts are installed on both sides, and the fleet is placed all the way, the sea route to the Far East has been cut off.

Of course, the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra are also Daming territories. The indigenous people here are all large and small tribes, and have no concept of a country at all. Plant a flag and say that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and no one has raised any objections at all.

Lu Li took a destroyer and landed at Johor Port.

A bright sun and moon flag was raised in the original Spanish duck governor's mansion, announcing that this place was officially incorporated into the Daming territory.

This Governor's Palace is also well-built, a stone European-style castle that looks like an exotic beauty.

It's just... After being looted by Japanese pirates, there shouldn't be anything left here.

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, but he didn't care. Grabbing things is secondary, occupying land is the key.

Walking to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Lu Li suddenly stopped and found an unexpected gain.

In the green belt outside the Governor's Palace, a row of very special trees is planted.

This is... FUCK! rubber tree!

Lu Li couldn't help laughing: "This Spanish duck governor is really a good man. He actually brought over all the rubber trees that originate in America?"

The value of rubber is simply immeasurable.

With rubber, the sealing ring of various machinery and equipment can be solved. With rubber, tires can be made.

With pneumatic tires, the significance of land transportation is simply immeasurable.

"Come on, hurry up and look around. How many trees are there? Be careful, this tree is very valuable, and it is absolutely not allowed to cut it down."

Lu Li hurriedly ordered the guard next to him.

The guards hurriedly searched for rubber trees. After looking around the Governor's Palace, the guards reported that they found a total of 35 rubber trees, of which only 10 were large trees over three meters high, and the rest were small saplings.

Well, rubber tires are premature.

Lu Li shook his head, put aside the thought of "soon to be able to drive", and walked into the Governor's Mansion.

"Grandpa, we found the warehouse of the Spanish duck man, and there are a lot of coins in it."

Just after entering the Governor's Palace, another soldier came to report.

coin? Spanish silver coins?

Lu Li was also a little interested, and followed the soldiers to the treasury next to the Governor's Mansion.

At this moment, there are countless supplies scattered around the treasury, apparently left over when the Japanese pirates looted.

Walking into the warehouse, Lu Li saw hundreds of large boxes piled up in the warehouse, and the boxes were all filled with shiny silver coins.

"Grandpa, there are at least a hundred thousand taels of silver in it."

The soldier pointed at the silver coins in the warehouse and introduced it to Lu Li.

Hearing this, Lu Li was slightly taken aback. This is not because of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but... Lu Li suddenly remembered that the currency of the Ming Dynasty was still a mess!

The official currency of the Ming Dynasty was paper money, that is, treasure banknotes.

It's just... this thing, even the emperor does not recognize the value of the treasured banknotes, and no one regards the treasured banknotes as money.

The widely used currencies are still silver and copper coins.

The currency reform of the Ming Dynasty is also imminent. A chaotic monetary system is not conducive to the development of industry and commerce.

It is not difficult for Lu Li to come up with a new set of currencies.

The Nanyang Islands are rich in minerals, including many gold, silver and copper mines. Luzon has 40 million tons of copper reserves and 1,000 tons of gold reserves. Indy Papua has 60 million tons of copper reserves, 40,000 tons of silver reserves and 6,000 tons of gold reserves.

In addition, the Annan area of ​​Jiaozhi has 1.2 billion tons of iron ore reserves, including 600 million tons of iron ore reserves in Shixi Iron Mine, with an iron content of 67%, which can also be mined in open pit.

Mines in Nanyang can be smelted for iron, copper, gold, and silver.

As for the manpower to open the mine, there is no shortage of manpower. There are indigenous people everywhere. As long as the tribe leader is given some glass utensils and steel knives, as many people as needed can be recruited.

The currency reform of the Ming Dynasty, let Zhang Juzheng carry out. The Nanyang area... I have the final say!

So, Lu Li started a new plan.

The plan is called "Show Wealth"!

Nanyang's resources are too rich, and Lu Li can't occupy it all by himself, and there is absolutely no need to occupy it all by himself.

Just by showing the advantages of the present, countless Ming Dynasty people who want to make a fortune can flock to it.

With an order, the army of 100,000 who arrived in Nanyang immediately dispatched and began to search.

Two months later, Lu Li's transport fleet returned.

More than 300 transport ships are full of special products from all over the South China Sea, all kinds of precious wood, all kinds of ivory rhino horns, all kinds of coral clam, all kinds of pearls and gems, all kinds of gold, silver, copper and iron...

The mighty fleet, from Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Ningbo, Songjiang and Dengzhou all the way to Tianjin.

Every station deliberately stopped the ship to dock, and deliberately displayed all kinds of property, until the landing in Jinmen, when the unloading, the accumulation of gold and silver treasures made countless people's eyes green.

Of course, deliberately promoting the abundance of products in Nanyang and gold everywhere is also what it should be.

More than 300 transport ships, unloading truckloads of treasure. It took three days in a row to transport these terrifyingly large fortunes into the capital.

Beijing sensation! Empty alleys!

Countless people gathered outside the yamen of the Ministry of Housing, watching the truckloads of gold and silver treasures being delivered to the treasury.

Of course, this wealth is also indispensable to the Emperor Jiajing.

"The Duke of Yue handed over the property, including: 120 silver chariots, 13 gold chariots, 350 copper chariots, 630 fine iron chariots, 3 pearl chariots, four precious stones chariots, 16 beautiful jade chariots, and ivory chariots. Five carts, two carts of rhino horns, four carts of coral, five carts of clam, fifty-eight carts of spices, and southern Jiamu...they filled the Neku wood yard."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened when he heard the data read out by the great eunuch Lu Fang.

The national treasury and the internal treasury... are all stuffed by the Yue Guogong?

Is the South Ocean covered with gold? These gold and silver treasures can be picked up by bending over?

"Your Majesty, the State of Yue has a secret fold."

The eldest eunuch Lu Fang handed out another secret fold from Lu Li.

Jiajing took the secret book and looked at it. Lu Li said on the secret book that there are 60 million tons of copper, 40,000 tons of silver and 6,000 tons of gold on Jinzhou Island in Nanyang. Lu Li also stated that one ton is two thousand catties.

In addition, all kinds of precious woods such as red sandalwood and golden nanmu, all kinds of spices, and pearls on the coast are almost everywhere.

Emperor Jiajing screamed!

Nanyang is so rich? mine! mine! All mine!

"Lu Fang, dispatch people immediately, dispatch people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, go to Nanyang immediately, pick up the Yueguo bus, and quickly dig for me."

60 million tons of copper, 40,000 tons of silver, and 6,000 tons of gold. With these things in hand, I don't have to ask the treasury for money!

...

When Emperor Jiajing was dazzled by silver flashes, the officials of various departments of the court were also blinded by silver flashes.

Nanyang... so rich!

How could Duke Yue Guo alone occupy a place like a cornucopia? Everyone has a share!

Didn't Duke Yue send all the maps of Nanyang? Isn't it said that all of Nanyang is the territory of Ming Dynasty? Then... let's make a fortune together!

Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to propose to set up state capitals in the Nanyang Islands and send officials to control the various places.

This suggestion was immediately unanimously approved by the court.

In addition to the official action, the private action is much bigger.

The relatives in the family with maritime businessmen immediately set sail to the sea, staking their horses everywhere in the Nanyang Islands, and wantonly divided up the resources of the Nanyang.

The common people are also very interested in the gold-filled Southeast Asia.

All of a sudden, countless people from all over the Ming Dynasty poured into the South China Sea.

The development of Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty officially kicked off.

Lu Li immediately built a mint at bases all over Nanyang.

The steam-powered stamping machine is a coin at a time, and the speed is extremely fast, and the coins are very beautiful.

There are three types of coins: copper, silver and gold. The face value of copper coins is one cent, the face value of silver coins is one or two, and the face value of gold coins is consistent.

Lu Li didn't put Jiajing's head on the coin's pattern. This was to avoid some trouble. He directly used the flag of the sun and the moon, and matched the patterns of the palace gate and the Great Wall to create a set of coins.

After the currency came out, Lu Li directly ordered that all parts of Nanyang should use the new currency, and gold and silver should not be used as currency transactions.

Along with it, there is a new institution - the bank.

Lu Li began to popularize mathematics knowledge as early as the establishment of the army. This tradition continues to this day.

Today, in the army of 200,000 people under Lu Li's command, every soldier has studied mathematics and understands mathematical calculations. The staff of the bank are temporarily filled with soldiers under his command.

In the Nanyang Territory, no one dared to disobey Lu Li's orders. In less than a month, the countries of the Indo-China Peninsula unified their currencies and fully used Luli's new currency.

As for the Nanyang Islands... The indigenous people did not have the concept of currency, and currency was mainly circulated among the Ming Dynasty people who traveled to and from the Nanyang. As for the natives, as long as they know that this thing can be exchanged for materials, they will definitely accept currency.

In order to facilitate the flow of people, Lu Li asked Zhang Yuan to build a large steam-powered passenger ship to communicate with other parts of Nanyang and the inland of Ming Dynasty.

Time has come to the end of the forty-two years of Jiajing.

In the past few months, the Nanyang area has been in full swing, and countless Ming people with dreams of making a fortune have traveled all over the Nanyang Islands.

Officials sent by the imperial court also arrived one after another, officially taking over the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Zhudao.

Lu Li did not make things difficult, but was very cooperative. Except for the military bases at a few key nodes, all others were handed over to Daming officials.

At this point, the Nanyang Islands were officially included in the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Li's eyes also turned to the next place - Australia and Tianzhu.

Java base, East Timor base, and further south is the Australian mainland. Another line, starting from the Yangon base in Myanmar, enters the Bay of Bengal along the coastline, and then goes west to Tianzhu.

Australia has nothing to say.

Today's Australia has very few indigenous peoples, and it is completely an empty land.

Lu Li only needs to establish a few port bases to declare that this is the Ming Dynasty territory since ancient times.

Australia is only a transit point in Luli's plan. Continuing eastward and reaching South America is Lu Li's ultimate goal.

After the plan was clarified, Lu Li began to prepare for the next big action.

...

Jiajing forty-two years, this is a prosperous age!

This year, the high-yield crops promoted by Hai Rui achieved bumper harvests all over the country.

For a time, from the homes of the common people, to the granaries of the prefectures and counties, and then to the treasury, grain was piled up everywhere.

It is already the consensus of all the landlords and gentry in the Ming Dynasty that one cannot make a fortune by farming.

The food is harvested in an all-round way, and naturally it cannot be sold at a high price. It is better to run a boat or run a workshop if you are busy working for a year.

Under such circumstances, the landlord class in the Ming Dynasty had no interest in any land annexation. Want a place? A large amount of land in Nanyang, just draw a circle, it is all yours, and the natives of Nanyang are much easier to use than tenants.

Those who run workshops, do business, go to sea, and even set up plantations in the Nanyang enclosure are better than exploiting tenants in their hometown.

What's more, tenants are not stupid. Exploitation is ruthless, so I went to the South China Sea to go to sea.

In this way, the poor people in Daming have a much better life, at least food and clothing are not a big problem.

In the forty-two years of Jiajing's year-end conference.

When Emperor Jiajing heard reports from various ministries, all were in good condition.

The southern Japanese and northern captives have long ceased to exist, and the high-yield crops have filled the warehouses with grain all over the Ming Dynasty.

The tax bill collected by Shibosi has reached a new high, with a tax bill of 50 million taels a year. This does not include all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry and valuables handed over from all over Nanyang. Daming's treasury and internal treasury are all full.

"The country has no border troubles, and the people have no fear of famine. The warehouse is full of food, and the treasury is full. The four seas are leveled, and all countries come to Korea."

Xu Ge bowed to the Jiajing Emperor, "Your Majesty, you created the Ming Dynasty and created a prosperous era of peace and prosperity! Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

The civil and military people of the whole dynasty were full of laughter, bowed and bowed to the Jiajing Emperor together, and shouted long live.

No wonder they laugh!

Made money! Big money! Southeast Asia is really full of gold. Even if the most valuable mines are all occupied by the emperor, but... in Nanyang, planting sugar cane and squeezing sugar will cost countless dollars.

Hearing the congratulations, Emperor Jiajing raised his brows and smiled.

This is Daming ZTE? Is this peaceful and prosperous?

Lao Tzu has done nothing, and the country has no frontier troubles, the people have no fear of famine, the four seas have risen, and all nations have come to Korea.

And... the Indo-China Peninsula belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the countless islands in the South China Sea belong to the Ming Dynasty. Daming's territory has almost doubled from before.

Grandpa Tai, Grandpa Cheng, say something you don't like to hear, I, Jiajing... I'm better than you!

I'm not as talented as you guys, but... my life is better than yours!

If you lie down, you will be able to rejuvenate in Ming Dynasty, and if you lie down, you will be able to prosper in Jiajing. Who of you has this ability?
