The Western colonists' style is actually not suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning, Zhao Ming had no intention of following the Western colonization model, but instead led the Ming Dynasty and the whole world to resist the plunder and invasion of Western hooligans.

Although Zhao Ming also expanded and subverted other people's regimes, unlike the West for plunder, Zhao Ming's goal is to make the cake bigger and enjoy the dividends of development.

The land in the South Ocean is rich in land and rich in resources, but it has not been developed properly, resulting in weak country and poor people.

After the New Year's Court meeting, Zhao Ming ordered the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to form a number of investment and development companies to help the countries of Nanyang to develop domestic mines, build water conservancy, reclaim wasteland, establish farms, and find suitable land, plant oak seeds, and deploy rubber gardens first.

At this time, the West had not yet realized the role of rubber, and Spain and Portugal did not protect rubber like China protected silkworm seeds.

A year ago, Zhao Ming obtained rubber seeds from South America through a Portuguese businessman.

Previously, the biggest problem with the steam engines in the Ming Dynasty was the airtightness of the piston.

Song Yingxing used Lingnan Eucommia Gum instead of this problem, but the effect was still not ideal.

When Zhao Ming learned about this plan, he thought of rubber, so he searched for rubber seeds from multiple channels, and the rubber seeds he finally obtained.

Various development companies in the Ming Dynasty entered the countries of Nanyang, carried out various projects and recruited local people to work, which increased the income of local people and had the ability to consume. Jiangnan merchants immediately brought goods to the market and quickly occupied the market.

This eliminated the sales of Ming Dynasty goods, developed and activated the local economy, and left countries outside the Ming Dynasty tribute system far behind, which was a win-win economic system.

Today, Zhao Ming begged some countries to join, and later he became a scramble to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the punishment for tribute is not a big deal, but once the tribute economy of the Ming Dynasty develops, the punishment for tribute will represent poverty and economic collapse, which makes countries afraid of talking.

When Zhao Ming, the regent of Nanjing, was actually integrating East Asia, and also focused on the collision and conflict at the intersection of east and west.

At this time, Qian Bingding led the envoy of Penglai Kingdom to the outside of the study of the royal palace and smiled and said, "The Regent is waiting inside."

Zhang Huangyan nodded slightly, the guard opened the door, and he stepped in.

Zhao Ming was busy working on the documents, conceiving his new policy plan, and the first five-year plan after unification.

From a personal perspective, Zhang Huangyan hated Zhao Ming more in his heart.

Zhao Ming not only betrayed the Zhejiang faction and stole the results of the Zhejiang faction's anti-Qing, but also exiled a large number of Zhejiang factions overseas, forcing Zhu Yihai to commit suicide, killing all the Zhejiang factions.

Thinking of Zhang Mingzhen, Zhu Yihai and others, Zhang Huangyan hated Zhao Ming in his heart.

However, from the perspective of the public, Zhao Ming completed the cause they failed to accomplish, conquering the Qing Dynasty, taking back Beijing, reunifying the Ming Dynasty, and establishing a more powerful Ming Dynasty than before.

This made Zhang Mingzhen feel very conflicted when he saw Zhao Ming.

Fortunately, this is not the first time Zhang Huangyan has met Zhao Ming. After he came to Nanjing, he has met many times.

"Regent!" Zhang Huangyan saluted in a deep voice.

Zhao Ming raised his head and saw Zhang Huangyan. He hurriedly put away the copywriting and smiled and said, "Haha~ sir will arrive so soon. Please sit down!"

Zhang Huangyan sat down in the seat, and the waiter served the tea. Zhao Ming waved his hand and took a look back, and then said, "I want to learn more about the situation in Dongzhou today, and Mr. Lao will tell you."

This time, Zhang Huangyan returned to the Ming Dynasty, and had two main purposes. One was to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, and ask for material assistance. The other was to visit whether there were descendants of Zhu Yihai's lineage.

After Li Chengdong arrived in Dongzhou, Zhang Huangyan, Ruan Jin and others learned that Zhu Yihai took advantage of Zhao Ming's northern expedition to fight in Nanjing and eventually failed, and learned that Zhu Yihai was burned to death.

Now that Zhu Yihai is dead, the political struggle is over, and the people loyal to Zhu Yihai overseas do not want to avenge Zhu Yihai, but they just hope to find descendants of the King of Lu lineage and then take them to Dongzhou for good resettlement.

In the eyes of Zhejiang, Zhu Yihai stood up and fought against the Qing soldiers for many years, which was a contribution to the entire nation.

Such achievements should not be completely erased due to the failure of internal political struggles.

Therefore, the Zhejiang people wanted to see if they could find Zhu Yihai's descendants and receive preferential treatment from Dongzhou.

Zhang Huangyan said in a deep voice: "Reported to the Regent, the war in Dongzhou is now fierce. Although the Western barbarians are not in harmony, they have reached a conclusion when dealing with us. Now, in the south of Penglai, we have to face the attacks of the Spanish. To the west of Penglai, there are British barbarians and French barbarians, and Penglai is under great pressure."

This situation was a bit beyond Zhao Ming's expectations. After all, Europe has been in a state of division for a long time, and there are conflicts of interest between countries. I didn't expect that they would unite together when dealing with the Ming Dynasty.

This seems to have left the original track, making Zhao Ming feel a little crisis.

Zhao Ming asked: "How do you fight against the Western Yi now?"

Zhang Huangyan said: "The east side can only rely on the mountains and barely resist, and dare not enter the plains in the east, so as not to anger Britain and France, and the south side will rely on the Yin warriors to fight against the Spanish."

"Yin clan?" Zhao Ming said in confusion.

"The natives in Dongzhou, whose skin color is similar to ours, are called Yin clans in order to unite. Speaking of which, this title was obtained based on the regent's words," Zhang Huangyan explained.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly. After communicating, he probably understood that Li Chengdong only occupied the vicinity of Vancouver.

If this piece is removed by the Western barbarians, then after occupying the Americas, the forces of the Western power will arrive in the Western Pacific and directly reach the doorstep of the Ming Dynasty, seriously affecting his integration of East Asia.

Zhao Ming picked up a memorial from the desk and said in a deep voice: "I have read the memorial of King Penglai. I will arrange the material assistance requested in the memorial as soon as possible, but if so many materials are spent in the Ming Dynasty, you must produce results. Within three years, I hope you can regain Jinshan City."

Zhang Huangyan was overjoyed when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming was so generous and hurriedly saluted: "I am thanking the Regent for the people of Penglai."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and suddenly said, "Within a month, the court will arrange a ship. Sir, please leave with the ship. Don't stay in the Ming Dynasty for a long time."

Zhang Huangyan's heart was shaking, "I know."

Zhao Ming then waved his hand and asked Zhang Huangyan to leave. Shortly after Zhang Huangyan left, Chen Mingxia, the Minister of Rites, came to ask for a meeting again.
