Zhu Yuanzhang: I Forbid The Sea, But The Sun Never Sets On The Sea

Chapter 48: Send Some Food To The Fourth Brother (Third More)

The first transaction between the Northern Dynasty and Zhu Bo was quickly concluded. This time, the Northern Dynasty brought 10,000 slaves, and Zhu Bo gave the other 1,000 iron weapons.

This is a very satisfactory value for both parties.

Today, his slave population has exceeded 50,000. If the 80,000 people from the Southern Dynasty are sent again, his population will be enough to exceed 100,000.

This is definitely a terrifying number.

You must know that Iwami Ginzan is actually a bit too many slaves of 50,000 people today. No matter how much, there is not much use in Iwami Ginzan.

However, Zhu Bo did not intend to terminate such transactions.

After all, this is an opportunity to weaken the island country, how could he stop.

As for these extra slaves, he already had some ideas.

As for how to do it.

Of course, these slaves were transported to Daming.

In order to gain more wealth from the colonies, the emerging European bourgeoisie not only stepped up looting and plundering overseas, but also started to operate the colonies. In the early days, most of the laborers in the plantations and mines were white indentured laborers. They were poor immigrants from European countries across the Atlantic Ocean. These people signed contracts with plantation owners or overseas labor service companies in their original places of residence. After arriving in the Americas, they worked for a few years. Repay the travel expenses paid for them, and when the contract expires, they become free people.

Due to the instigation of European colonists, this inter-tribal "slave hunting war" has never stopped during the 400-year slave trade process, resulting in a large number of deaths of black Africans, and the entire Africa is almost ruined.

Such a good Liezi, Zhu Bo naturally doesn't mind learning.

The large number of slaves is enough to exchange too many things in Daming.

And a large influx of slaves is enough to transform Daming.

No longer abusing the Chinese people, but turning to these slaves is enough for Daming to complete the primitive accumulation.

And because of the population factor of Daming, and the particularity of the Chinese people, there is no need to worry about slaves occupying a large number of the original Daming existence like later generations.

China's powerful assimilation power.

Almost without three generations, these people will probably think that they are Chinese people.

Only problem.

Just doing this, those scumbags are probably not so good.

But that's what my dad thought about.

It wasn't what he thought about it.

on top of the mountain.

Look at the swiftly busy slaves.

His smile showed.

It wasn't until a moment later that his eyes turned to Xue Neng.

"Xue Qianhu, how are you preparing?"

The words speak.

"His Royal Highness, the preparations have been completed. One hundred thousand stone grains and grass, and ten million catties of dried fish have all been loaded onto the ship."

Xue Neng spoke respectfully and reported the situation to Zhu Bo.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you next."

Zhu Bo nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the minister is here, here it is, and the minister is gone, it must be here too!"

Xue Neng spoke with a sonorous voice.

Zhu Bo nodded, then walked towards the sea.

After staying here for nearly three months, it was time for him to leave.

As for taking such food out, it was because he was going to support a wave of his fourth brother.

It is still easy to enter the Mongolian steppe from the island country.

Especially now, Zhu Di's main target is Liaodong.

As for his fourth brother, Zhu Bo naturally doesn't mind helping.

Not only because it was Emperor Yongle and his fourth brother, but also because defeating Mongolia is almost the consensus of the entire Ming Dynasty today.

You must know that, unlike other dynasties, Meng Yuan's exit was not because it was on the verge of collapse. No matter how you said it, it was only the beginning of the collapse in Huaxia. The basic market of the entire Mongolia did not collapse, and even existed.

If the vast prairie gives them a chance to breathe, a comeback is almost a sure thing.

Moreover, with their Chinese experience, once they make a comeback, the threat to the entire Ming Dynasty will be the greatest.

This is also the main reason why from his cheap dad, to his fourth brother, and the fourth brother's grandson Zhu Zhanji, all the time thinking about the Northern Expedition.

It's not really like fighting.

but had to fight.

Once relaxed, the entire Meng Yuan's denial would be unbearable for the entire Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Bo's goal is the sea.

Then Daming's goal is grassland.

In this case, Zhu Bo naturally didn't mind helping his fourth brother.

The ship set sail.

One after another, the sea ships were heading towards Liaodong.

From the island country to Liaodong, it is undoubtedly a lot closer.

In less than ten days, the ship had already docked in Liaodong.

A huge sailboat docked, and did not attract the attention of others.

It has been nearly a year since Lao Zhu's ban on the sea.

"It is strictly forbidden for merchants and civilians to go to sea without permission, and those who trade all grains, goods, etc. with rebels... Whether officials or civilians, all have to report to the law, the goods are brought into officials, and the family property of the crime is to be reported to the person who reports. It is the local civil and military affairs. All officials who are not cross-examined and captured are dismissed from their posts and punished severely; the local guards and armors all share the same tolerance, and they are not allowed to raise their heads, and they are all considered guilty.”

Compared with the Qing Dynasty, although it is lighter.

But now for nearly a year, the people around the coast have moved.

Naturally, no one could notice it.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Bo couldn't help shaking his head.

Banning the sea is undoubtedly not a wise choice.

Although it can be protected from Japanese pirates.

But once the time has passed, if there is a strong enemy at sea, I am afraid that no one will be able to react immediately.

The entire Ming Dynasty will be in a relatively passive situation.

But this kind of national policy is not something he can temporarily change.

Fortunately, after the death of Lao Zhu, this kind of ban on the sea is basically equivalent to a fake.

My fourth brother opened the sea again.

Although it is only an official opening of the sea, this is enough to make Daming fall into a period of rapid development.
