Because there are often land but no one, European countries have not had a strong obsession with colonies. As long as the bid is reasonable, no piece of land cannot be sold. Not to mention now, even two hundred years later, Americans still obtain three times the additional territory of the Thirteen State by means of buying and selling, laying the material foundation for the world hegemony.

In this century, it is an era when land is pouring into the market. As long as any country set up a management agency somewhere, erects a monument and a flag, the land belongs to it legitimately. This behavior has also been respected by the civilized world, just like the Ming Dynasty announced the naturalization of Pingdao and Australia, and merchants from all European countries all acknowledged this fact, and no one would seek the opinions of local natives.

For example, in another time and space, the Russians sold 1.5 million square kilometers of Alaska land to the United States for $75,000. A hundred years later, people felt that the Russian bear's brain was frozen and they would do such a business. What's even more tragic is that the Russian government's banknote ship had sunk at that time, which was equivalent to a net compensation of $100,000 and a large peninsula was given in vain.

However, at that time, the Russians thought it was a good deal.

Apart from fur and ice, Alaska can be sold at a good price, which is useless. There are more than 70 active volcanoes in the area, and earthquakes often occur. The most fundamental reason is that the method of obtaining Alaska was too simple - the Tsar hired a Dutchman and after crossing the Bering Strait, he planted a Russian flag, so this place belongs to Russia.

On the one hand, Seward, an American politician who led the purchase of Alaska, was scolded for not daring to go out because the American people felt it was a "bad deal."

It can be seen from this that historical limitations are really too easy for every mortal.

Returning to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, recapturing Luzon Island and expelling the Red and Massive Yi. Severely punishing the local natives who were lackeys of the Red and Massive Yi, and opening Luzon into the rubber plantation and sugar cane field in the Ming Dynasty. This is in line with morality and interests, and no one will object. However, after three months of war, the Ming Dynasty experienced the war situation of queuing against the target for the first time. Although it won, the lives of the children were only exchanged for the Gobi desert in North America, which is not acceptable to everyone.

"What's more, it's our Ming Dynasty's territory!"

"Why do the land we discovered in the Ming Dynasty need the consent of the Westerners!"

...

More and more doubts in the newspapers flocked to the cabinet, and no one paid attention to the Spanish sheep.

All the elders know that America is different from Asia.

In Asia, the Ming Dynasty could defeat the Spaniards with ten times its strength.

In the Americas, the strength comparison between Ming and Xi is the opposite. Even if I work hard to build ships and immigrate, there are only 30,000 Ming people on the American continent. They are mainly gathered in the East Jingfu (San Francisco), of which 80% are farmers, 10% are craftsmen, and the real combat troops have only one battalion and three thousand people.

The Spaniards in the Americas had 300,000, with four governors' districts, and hundreds of thousands of indigenous peoples under their jurisdiction.

Even in the Minnie era, advanced firearms may not be able to fight against several times the cold weapon troops. The British, the Portuguese and even the Italians have a deep understanding of this. Once the scale of the war is not suppressed, Mingxi will launch a larger war on the American continent. Then the Ming army may not have more chances of winning.

Not fighting a battle without confidence is a rule established when His Majesty the Emperor established the army.

"In the past, military generals took the blame for civil officials, but now they are turned upside down." Sun Chuanting sat in the office room and sighed.

Sitting opposite Sun Chuanting was Yang Wei, a young colonel professor from Wubei University. Yang Wei was like a fish in water in the environment in the ivory tower, perfecting his theory at an amazing speed. Under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor, the Ming version of geopolitics has basically formed a system, and the first thing Yang Wei had to do was to instill this new way of thinking into several cabinet masters.

Even if the elders cannot accept it, they must at least know it.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting, the cabinet master who is most inclined to military generals, sighed so much, Yang Wei knew that the recent Qing Dynasty discussion in the newspaper had caused quite a lot of trouble to the cabinet.

In fact, the cabinet was indeed unjust. The American issue was the strategy of the Grand Governor's Office to advise the emperor. The final tone was formed.

"Sir," Yang Wei said politely, "When the Ming Dynasty consolidates America, this contribution to expanding territory will be the ones."

"I went out of the imperial examination wearing armor, but I never thought about any military achievements? I just wanted to die for my ancestors' foundation. Now I am so old that I can't compare to you young people who are ambitious." Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said, "You are indeed a bit tricky about these things, but for us old people, it may be useless."

"Why did the old man say this?" Yang Wei really didn't know.

Sun Chuanting just smiled, but didn't point it out.

In fact, the key lies in age. Since the Zhou Dynasty, it is normal for officials to retire at seventy years. For example, Li Yuzhi who was still in the court in his 80s, had special needs. Now that the country has stabilized and flourished, Wu Qing will definitely not postpone his retirement. So Wu Qing has only been the prime minister for two years.

Sun Chuanting is only four years younger than Wu Qing. According to the cabinet's tradition of seniority, his career as a chief assistant is only four years.

This is still the case when he is in good health.

"Old Master Zhou will retire next year." Sun Chuanting was finally softened by this colonel younger than his grandson, pointing out the key points.

Zhou Yingji was actually going to retire this year, but before the court promoted the new cabinet ministers, people found that there were some differences between the recommendation of local governors and the central government of the court.

One side believes that the lessons of the national change should be learned and imitated by the Song Dynasty. Those who have no local experience cannot enter the cabinet. The other side believes that the national change is just a stain after all, and since the establishment of the cabinet by Chengzu, Qingliu has been mainstream in the cabinet. Since the country has returned to normal, this system should be restored together.

So the Meibu ceremony was put on hold.

Cai Maode was the same age as Zhou Yingqi, but his situation was special. Because the emperor said on his 70th birthday: Mr. Cai is proficient in health preservation and is as healthy as a person in his fifties.

This is usually auspicious, but for the emperor and the ministers, it means keeping him. Cai Maode himself is conscientious and strict with himself, and is most in line with His Majesty the Emperor in terms of work attitude, so it is normal for the emperor to keep him as the chief minister for two years.

The most out of time are actually Jiang Dejing and Yuan Jixian.

These two people are the same age as Sun Chuanting. When Sun Chuanting retires, they should retire and have no chance to go to another level.

The changes in the dynasty in the past few years will inevitably be great. After Wu Qing returned home to hold his great grandson, the burden of stabilizing the dynasty fell on Sun Chuanting. The emperor, who ultimately connected the past and the future, had chosen Cai Maode. At present, it seems that all of them were arranged properly.

Yang Wei was not sensitive to this, but said: "There have been so sad in recent years. There are also many generals in the Grand Governor's Office who have to take off their armor."

The military's personnel transfer is even more troublesome.

Qin Liangyu is already in her eighties. Although she is still very strong and has a good appetite, she has to let her go back and enjoy the joy of family. Veterans such as You Shiwei are also old, but the rising stars are all happy with the main force, and they are in the battle formation and are unwilling to return to Beijing to guard the office. Moreover, Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou have combat tasks, and they are not able to be transferred back by just saying that they can be transferred back.

Now it seems that the military officer is really incompatible with each other.

Fortunately, the authority today is also rare since the founding of the country, and is even comparable to that of Taizu and Chengzu.

In the seventh year of Longjing, Zhu Cilang basically stabilized his eight-hour working system and could rest for two days every ten days. If he included a half-day tea party with the Cabinet and the Grand Governor's Office, he would basically do seven or three days off. This was considered a negligent attitude in the Taizu Dynasty, which would not hinder him from having a great influence on the government.

Military newspapers from all over the country are still connected.

The first pot of vulcanized rubber achieved good results. It is possible to study the formula while actually applying vulcanized rubber first. As long as the public sees profitability, many people will naturally follow up. Of course, the Royal Royal will not let go of this golden rice bowl. Baohe Store set up a rubber investment company specifically to invest in domestic private rubber factories. Although it does not hold absolute shares, it is enough to ensure dividend income.

Under Zhu Cilang's strength, the Ming Dynasty royal family was really committed to the richest royal family in the world.

"In the Wanli period, the talent reserves were destroyed, and we still have to pay off our debts until today." Zhu Cixuan was helpless about this, but this kind of public criticism of the great-grandfather could only be said in the secret room.

The queen knew that many old ministers have recently requested retirement, one because they are old, and the other because they are indeed harder than before to be an official under their husbands.

"Does the father and mother come back if there is any news?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

The Supreme Emperor of Nanxun was so happy that he was having a lot of fun in Jiangnan and even had the idea of ​​going south to Fujian and Zhejiang. Zhejiang could go to Zhejiang, but it would be better to avoid the mountainous land in Fujian. Otherwise, the local government would be in chaos, and it would be too late to build roads, so there would be no need to do anything else.

"The rubber tires that my father knew about were sent by Beijing," Duan said.

"It should be." Zhu Cilang nodded.

To avoid shock comfort, there are three cutting-edge technologies: spring steel, high-level pavement, and rubber tires.

Spring steel looks far away, while high-level road surfaces are limited by the total industrial volume of the Ming Dynasty, with a very short mileage. However, now with inflatable rubber tires, it is definitely a big leap compared to the era of wooden wheels.

"The Father also said that resting with the people is the attitude that the Holy Lord should have." Duan whispered.

Zhu Cixuan said: "Isn't that the case?"

"When will you fight in a war? Every night when you think of war ministers, you will have nightmares." Duan said bluntly.
