The seeds are sown like this. As for how they break through the ground, it will be time.

And Yang Feng does not lack time.

He was willing to spend ten years watching the seeds of rebellion blooming with bloody red flowers, but he thought it would not take so long. Now the British are crazy exploitation of the colonies, and soon the original rebels will be unable to bear it to their kings. However, few of them who go to America are full of loyalty and respect for the royal family and government. In fact, they are all traitors. They just need some push or a fire, and now the British government has lit the fire.

And he is adding fuel to the fire.

He did not believe that those unbearable colonists could tolerate it for ten years.

That's it in America.

The sound of gunfire in other places is gradually becoming quiet.

During this period of time, the Ming army had basically flattened the Kazakh tribes, and took down all the land around the Yibohai River to the Erthis River or the Ming map, and then added a Hezhong Province to the Ming map. In the future, the Western Regions were divided into two provinces, the northern part of the Hezhong Province. Of course, this river refers to the Ye River and the Sir River, while the southern part of the Pamir Province is the Pamir Province, mainly based on the Amu River and the Pamir Plateau. Basically, the five Central Asian countries in later generations were added to Afghanistan. Because there were insufficient people, they were basically all people, so the Hezhong Province was temporarily managed by Beiting, and a city will be built in Karaganda, Semiy and Pavlodar in later generations.

Then the former serves as the provincial capital and relies on the surrounding coal fields and iron ore to build steel plants, and then continuously expands the railway line outward, and eventually forms a railway network in the Western Regions.

Yang Feng is currently imitating the strategy of Tsarist Russia in the Western Regions. Following the pace of the Ming army, he used a series of spider-web-like railway lines to firmly cover the vast land of Central Asia. Of course, he would not play the inexplicable territorial policy of the Soviet Union. If he wanted to play, he would play the Mu Dahusband's trick. Those who believe in me, brothers who don't believe in me died. They used sages and guns to complete assimilation, and then used time to complete the real conquest, destroy everything old, and let the people there forget their history, their beliefs, and their language.

A hundred years later, they will angrily denounce all those who try to recall all this...

Traitor!

As for South Africa, there is actually no real battle there.

The Zulu people there were not qualified as the enemy at all. The first batch of Ming troops equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns was thrown there, and then gradually swept them in battalions, and a large number of mercenaries of slave traders joined this ranks. They lined up on the South African plateau like hunting, attacking all the Zulu tribes and threw young and middle-aged people into slave ships, and then threw the rest aside and stopped caring about it. At this time, the Ming army in the front had arrived in Johannesburg in the original history.

Then……

They discovered a gold mine.

A huge gold mine.

When the estimated reserves of this gold mine were spoken out from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, both the cabinet officials, military generals and even the attendants were all stupid, completely stupid, and their minds were blank.

Because the number said by His Majesty the Emperor is...

"One hundred thousand tons."

Yang Feng sat upright on the dragon chaise and said calmly while drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, how much do you say?"

Prime Minister Shao said tremblingly.

"A hundred thousand tons, can't I speak clearly when I'm old?"

Yang Feng said innocently.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you are not talking about 100,000 pounds?"

Prime Minister Shao continued to say tremblingly.

"Of course sure."

Yang Feng said.

He did not lie. The Rand gold mine reserves are 5.20,000 tons, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's nearly 90,000 tons. He said that there is no difference between 100,000 tons. Besides, South Africa is not only one Rand. If it is really counted, he said that 100,000 tons is still less. Of course, this number is terrifying enough.

Then the entire hall was like a beehive that had been stabbed with a pole, and everyone screamed in shock.

One hundred thousand tons, this is one hundred thousand tons of gold, this is not one hundred thousand tons of steel, not one hundred thousand tons of copper, not one hundred thousand tons of silver, but one hundred thousand tons of gold. What does this mean? At present, the bank vault of the Ming Empire, that is, the reserve warehouse underground in the Imperial Palace, has accumulated less than ten thousand tons of gold in total. This was the case in the Ming Dynasty, using various means and conservatively estimated that it had killed tens of millions of people in all kinds of ways, and accumulated them all over the world through various methods. It is estimated that this has exceeded more than half of the total amount of gold in the entire world. This is the backing of the entire Ming economy, and this is the guarantee that the Longyuan issued by the Bank of the Ming Empire is popular in any country in the world.

Because everyone knows that the red paper in their hands represents gold, and gold is in the underground treasure house of the Yingtian Palace of the Ming Empire.

It can be said that less than 10,000 tons of gold are the foundation of the Ming Empire.

Now, Emperor Yang told them that there were a total of 100,000 tons of gold in the newly discovered gold mine in Zhaonan Province. This was a terrifying rhythm. Considering that Emperor Yang would definitely not lie, then this 100,000 tons of gold was real...

This is even more scary.

"Don't be surprised, there is definitely no problem with this number. There are 100,000 tons of gold in that pit, but these 100,000 tons of gold are not meant to be taken directly. It requires digging out the ore bit by bit and then refining it bit by bit. I think this process will last at least three or four hundred years, so this number just looks scary, but in fact it is just a number. If you really count it, which gold mine does not have a reserve of thousands of tons? So I just say it, you just listen."

Yang Feng said.

Can you just listen to this? Do you know what this gold mine means once it is released?

Prime Minister Shao complained in his heart.

Of course, he also understood that Emperor Yang wanted to deliberately disclose this gold mine. Because the economy has developed rapidly over the years, Imperial Bank issued banknotes in large quantities, which has caused some concerns among the people. After all, Imperial Bank issued too many banknotes, so many that as long as it is not a fool, he understands that the reserves of the Palace's Gold and Silver Treasures are definitely not worth it. In other words, the banknotes circulating on the market, plus the banknotes deposited by private banks, must be far beyond the payment capacity of Imperial Bank.

This is undoubtedly.

Isn’t sending money instead of using metal currency just to send more money?

It doesn't matter in the Ming Dynasty. All the people know that there is an emperor as a guarantee. No matter whether they have gold coins, silver coins or banknotes in their hands, as long as the emperor can guarantee that they can buy what they need, the Imperial Bank was opened by the Emperor. Who is the Emperor? He is a god and a saint. He will definitely not lie. Even if the Imperial Bank is not enough gold, he might just turn stones into gold. When needed, even if he doesn't know, he can invite a friend from the fairy world and find a mountain to change it.

Well, the sacrifices in the Holy Temple all say this.

But this statement will not work after a long time, and those foreigners and vassal states may not be so convinced. In recent years, the number of exchanges for dragon yuan banknotes has increased. Although it has not affected the gold reserves of Imperial Bank, this trend is ultimately bad. The Imperial Bank's general manager has proposed to stop small exchanges and only exchange large exchanges, but this will affect the credibility of Imperial Bank, so His Majesty the Emperor did not agree.

After all, I have issued too many money.

In fact, everyone understands this, but the current economic development of the Ming Dynasty is too fast, and the transaction volume is too large, which has exceeded the ability of gold, silver and currency. To put it simply, it is not enough money. Another point is that the Ming Dynasty's railway construction investment is too much because the Imperial Bank assumes the responsibility of the central bank, and the Imperial Bank is run by the emperor himself and no one supervises it. Therefore, a large part of the Ming Dynasty's financial investment is supported by printing money. Relying solely on taxes, it is definitely impossible to bear railway construction, military expenses and compulsory education for the people, especially the emperor often slaps in big projects, such as the construction of Fengshen Palace and Xijing construction, which all require huge investment.

So the Ming Dynasty finances were actually a confusing account.

The taxes in the finances are not enough, but the emperor pays them in advance, but where does the emperor pay them in advance come from? Although the royal family's enterprises make money, they are definitely not enough. After all, the royal family still has to bear the Jinyiwei, the Holy Church has a large number of university orphanages and nursing homes, and even a large number of hospitals rely on royal subsidies. So what should the emperor do if he doesn't have enough money?

Print money.

The printing factory of Imperial Bank started the machine, and then the Longyuan banknotes continued to come out.

And now, this gold mine solves all the problems.

A gold mine with a reserve of 100,000 tons, plus the East and West Jinzhou, Yinzhou, and domestic gold mines, the royal family has nearly 120,000 tons of gold reserves. Such terrifying reserves are enough to eliminate all concerns from the outside world and become the most solid foundation for the bank's reputation of the Ming Empire. All doubts are gone in front of the reserves of 100,000 tons. As for when these gold will be mined, it is no longer important. Anyway, the gold cannot fly there, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty also ensures that no one can snatch it away, and the royal family's reputation also ensures that there will be no other accidents. So what else do you have to do? It is just right to continue to make money with peace of mind.

With the reputation of 100,000 tons of gold mines, the Bank of the Ming Empire can continue to print more banknotes, and the Ming Dynasty's finances can also be free of restrictions. It can build more railways, build more warships, and carry out more major projects. Then the Ming Dynasty's economy will continue to develop rapidly, and this unprecedented prosperity will continue.

Although it's all based on a scam.

After all, all senior officials of the empire like this know that even a hundred thousand tons of gold may not be enough for the banknotes issued by the Imperial Bank.
