In fact, it wasn't just Japan that had a large amount of silver mines and silver reserves.
There were also huge gold and silver reserves all over America.
In history, silver was used as currency in the late Ming Dynasty.
Hundreds of millions of people could use silver as currency. One could imagine how much silver there was in the Great Ming Country.
However, Xia Country had always been a land devoid of silver.
How could there be so much silver circulating in the market just by relying on their own production?
In the end, 90% of the silver was from outside.
A portion of the silver came from Japan, while another portion came from America.
Through overseas trade, hundreds of millions of silver flowed into Great Ming.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong, who dominated the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty, relied solely on collecting sea toll fees.
Every year, they could collect millions of taels of silver.
It could be seen how much silver had flowed into Great Ming from overseas during this period.
At present, the overseas silver of this world had not flowed into Great Ming in large quantities.
That was because the Yuan Court had just been destroyed, and the entire Divine Prefecture was in a state of chaos. The sea merchants along the southeast coast had not begun to wantonly interfere in the sea trade.
Once the sea merchants along the southeast coast recovered their strength, the overseas trade would soar.
There would be an endless stream of silver flowing into the Central Plains.
In history, because of the Great Ming's policy of forbidding the sea, all the wealth and gold from the sea trade went into the pockets of the merchants in the southeast. The Great Ming court was so poor that they couldn't even fork out military expenses and food.
Zhu Xiong didn't know if Da Ming of this world would come to this step.
However, he believed that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang could see the huge benefits overseas, he would not implement the sea ban policy.
As long as Ming didn't implement the sea ban policy.
Zhu Rong was confident that he could lead the Great Ming Dynasty to start the Great Voyage Era ahead of time.
Let Da Ming truly become the center of the world.
Actually, this was not difficult.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang was able to flatten Japan for the silver mine.
Then, tomorrow, he would be able to recruit fleets to search for America for high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
In this way, Great Ming would naturally be able to start the Great Voyage Era.
The reason for this was not complicated. It was nothing more than the word 'benefit'.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know about the huge benefits overseas and felt that overseas was a barren land. That was why he listed Japan and other countries as non-conquering countries and banned the sea.
Now, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang had a taste of the sea trade.
Only when one's brain was caught in a door would they implement a ban on the sea.
It might even shift Great Ming's focus from the land to the sea, opening the Great Voyage Era that belonged to Great Ming.
As long as Great Ming started the Great Voyage Era, they would be able to find high-yield crop seeds such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.
The so-called end of the Little Ice River was naturally nothing.
There was even no need to cross the Pacific Ocean to find these two high-yield crops.
As long as they could take down India and other places.
They could obtain a large amount of fertile land and solve the problem of natural disasters and grain production reduction in the late Ming Dynasty.
However, all of this needed to be done step by step. It was not something that could be achieved overnight.
At least before he understood this world.
He had to be careful.
Zhu Rong was not sure if there were thousand-year-old demons or ten-thousand-year-old monsters in this world.
Before he had absolute strength.
Zhu Xiong felt that it was better to keep a low profile.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked a few more questions before ending the conversation.
After Zhu Rong left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the empty Wuying Hall and suddenly said,""Do you think the treasure map presented by the King of Qin is real or fake?”
"It should be true!"
Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, a low and hoarse voice sounded from the Hall of Martial Valor.
I only heard his voice, but I couldn't see him.
He was like a ghost!
"Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to be surprised by the sudden answer and asked curiously.
"Because I didn't realize that the King of Qin was lying!”
The person in the dark heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question and replied calmly. His tone did not change at all.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,""I don't feel that the King of Qin is lying, so I don't think he's lying about the silver mine in Japan.”
As a martial arts grandmaster, his mind was extremely sharp.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the people in the dark, they could easily tell if Zhu Xiong was lying or not.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked the person in the dark.
It was only because the matter of the East Ocean Silver Mine was too important that he found it hard to believe.
Now that he heard the answer from the person in the dark, he did not hesitate at all and directly said,"Since that's the case, then you should make a trip personally.”
"I'll give you half a month to investigate the situation in Japan and the silver mine on the treasure map.”
"If everything is true, then my Great Ming will definitely obtain the Four Eastern Islands.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he threw the treasure map in his hand into a shadow in the hall.
Then, a large hand covered in a black robe took the treasure map.
It was a figure covered in a black robe, hiding in the shadows. It had completely fused with the shadows in the hall, making it difficult for others to detect it.
"Good!"
The figure in the shadows heard Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and did not say much. He only said the word "okay" and disappeared.
Although Yingtian City was thousands of miles away from the four islands of the East Ocean Continent, it was still separated by the ocean.
However, for a martial arts grandmaster.
It was nothing at all.
This was because a martial arts grandmaster had already transcended the mortal realm and entered the divine realm.
Not only could one person fight against an entire city.
One person could kill thousands of troops.
More importantly, a Celestial Grandmaster had already broken away from the realm of mortals and could fly.
Even if it was thousands of miles away.
They could also arrive in half a day.
Therefore, to a Celestial Being Grandmaster…
Half a month passed.
It was enough for him to travel from Ying Tian City to the East Ocean Continent and walk around the silver mine on the treasure map.
In order to verify the authenticity of the East Ocean Silver Mine.
He immediately sent a Heavenly Grandmaster to the East Ocean Continent.
It was enough to show how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued the East Ocean Silver Mine.
Just as he said, if the Dongying Silver Mine was real, then the Great Ming would definitely take control of it at all costs.
He wouldn't need to produce ten million taels of silver a year.
As long as he had five million taels.
Even two to three million taels.
It was enough for Da Ming to launch a war across the sea.
For this, he would not hesitate to give up the northern expedition!
