Nanhua Palace, Jurentang.
This is a western-style double-storey small western-style building, and it has now become the place where the empire’s military affairs will meet.
There are Haichang Tower, Haijing Tower, Qifeng Tower, Sanjiang Hall, Sihai Tower, Juren Hall, Tingtao Tower, etc. in the imperial palace. The imperial palace does not use the names of palaces, halls, and pavilions, because the imperial palace on the other side of the sea does not Fabi had to take a different approach and use more grass-rooted names such as buildings, halls, and halls.
Jurentang was used by the emperor, while Haichang Tower was used by the empress. Now that the emperor is in Beijing, it is naturally in Jurentang.
It’s ironic to say that the discussion was about murder, arson, and house robbery, but it was put in Jurentang for discussion. Of course, the queen Yang Ying'er, who is proficient in Chinese Sinology, said that we are discussing affairs here, just to remember from time to time. The word "juren", don't let yourself be too bloodthirsty.
The high-ranking officials nodded and said yes, slandering you, the pirate-headed wife, the boss of the world's largest dead company, actually said something "juren", which is really a crocodile tears.
Emperor Yan Changwu, Empress Yang Ying'er, Mrs. Zhao State Liu Rushi, Mrs. Song Kingdom Qiu Mengqian, Crown Prince Yan Kun, plus senior executive Chen Zhongji, Marshal Chen De, Storm, Yan Changwu’s personal chief of staff Mr. David, and cabinet ministers Hong Sheng, Deputy Minister Chen Hebin and Du Yinxi, high-ranking officials in Beijing Zuo Liangyu, Xiao Changrong and others, this is a military committee meeting of the imperial court.
The emperor’s command of guns promoted by Yan Changwu never allowed any generals and ministers to get involved in military power. It was a new form of rule in the feudal dynasty. Through the military commission’s jurisdiction over military power, civilian officials were only a small part of the military commission, and could no longer be like the former Ming civilian officials. Use civil servants to perform military affairs, civil servants teach military generals to fight, fourth-rank prefects dare to fight third-rank participating generals, and seventh-rank Sesame officials dare to scold the fifth-rank defense happened!
The South China Military Commission is fairly normal, and there is also a Military Commission in Daming North China. The members include the dead TJ, which is the father-in-law of Dongchang!
Everyone looked at the eagerly copied report, that is South Africa discovered a gold mine, and the mine output is huge!
It is 1663 AD. South Africa’s gold mines should not have been discovered. At that time, South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of Africa, was initially deserted. European colonists only established small-scale camps, and only those who couldn’t get along would do it. Staying in the colony of South Africa, other Europeans have long been swarming to the wealthy India, Southeast Asia, and China.
Now the rise of China has driven all the white-skinned colonists to Africa to accompany the black uncle, and South Africa has prospered as a colony.
Groups of colonists arrived in South Africa and settled down. They had ten times the population of the parallel space in the same era, greatly increasing their chances of discovering gold mines in the high mountains.
The white skins of the great voyage era were still diligent. They or the black slaves they had taken in captivity went to reclaim wasteland, plant crops and graze.
The main crops are: corn, wheat, sugar cane, barley, etc. Wheat is used to make bread for white people, barley is used to make beer, and corn is made into cornmeal for uncle black to eat, sugar cane is squeezed, and rum is made. Wine winery.
The animal husbandry industry has gradually developed. Livestock types mainly include cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, etc., and poultry mainly include ostriches and broilers. The main products are poultry eggs, beef, fresh milk, dairy products, mutton, pork, sheep wool and so on.
Um, the poultry and egg industry in South Africa is over developed. Ninety percent of the eggs and ostrich eggs are exported to South China. It is said that the South China Empire advocated eating one egg per day. If the eggs are not enough to eat, then import them. Large ostriches. Eggs are very popular. Don’t you say that you eat one egg a day. An ostrich egg is also an egg.
However, the farming is hard, the harvest is average, and it is located in a colony. Not to mention the industry, mining and selling is undoubtedly the most profitable business. There are some restless white-skinned adventures in the wilderness, and they eventually discovered gold mines.
Gold mines are distributed all over the world, but South Africa's gold mines are no small thing.
Mr. David read the data: "...The Rand Basin is 400 kilometers long from north to south. The gold-bearing conglomerate layers are distributed in the surrounding areas of the basin. Currently, the gold-bearing belt is 180 kilometers long and the ore-bearing area is tens of thousands square kilometers. The mine belt is 90 kilometers long and its data is constantly growing!"
Even the well-informed empire’s dignitaries and high-ranking officials couldn’t help their faces change when they heard this data.
South Africa's gold mines are so large that they are unique in the world!
"The gold content has reached 10 g/ton, generally more than 10 g/ton, and some rich mining areas have even reached the standard of 20 g/ton or higher!" Mr. David continued.
Everyone’s complexion changed again and again. It should be noted that although gold mines are scarce, there are still gold mines, but most of them have no mining value because the output rate is too low. The g/ton standard is basically at a loss.
There are many gold mines in South Africa, and the ore contains high gold. Mr. David showed several gold ore specimens, which he said were brought by intelligence personnel from the Rand Basin.
But it can be seen that the gold ore is golden and brilliant, and there is almost no other color ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ shows a very high grade!
Most of the participants were short of breath, not just greed, but these gold mines fell into the hands of Baipi, which will bring great variables to the European war!
At this time, Mr. David began to arm Yan Chang with gold B. He took out a document, the handwriting on it was old, showing that it was old.
When he read the document, everyone became more amazed when he heard it. It turned out that this document was written 20 years ago. It was Yan Changwu who dictated the mineral resources around the world, including the large coal seams in North America, the copper mines in South America, the world oil and so on. Speaking of South Africa's gold mines, it is said that there are huge reserves, the largest in the world. For example, the gold mines in the Rand Basin may reach 400 kilometers long, a very accurate number!
How can it be?
Yan Changwu was incapable of large-scale foreign exploration at the time, and he had to use a lot of manpower to control South African gold mines.
"Your Majesty said, where there are gold mines, there are gold mines!" Mr. David answered everyone's doubts, but they made everyone's doubts deeper, and he had a profound feeling for Yan Changwu. How could he say what he wanted? .
If you didn't know that unless he wanted to answer, no one could force him. Everyone would really want to use various methods to question him.
A faint smile appeared on Yang Ying'er's face. She was the first person in the world to know this document. She was the right wife of Yan Changwu, so she asked him why he knew. Yan Changwu said that he came from another world and knew there was Jinshan!
...
Yan Changwu asked: "Let's talk about it, there are big gold mines in South Africa, what should we do?"
Marshal Chen De was the first to stand up and ask for a fight: "Snatch it, you must **** it over. The minister is willing to share the worries for your majesty and seize South Africa!"
Hearing what he said, a group of people yelled at Chen De as an out-and-out old thief.
Grab it when you see the benefits!
