Zhu Gaochi thought that he could get a piece of the mainland, but when he heard that he had to hand over 20 million taels of silver every year, he quit.

"Father, don't think that the child doesn't know, that piece of land Master has already said, don't look at the area is not small, but it is very arid, the area suitable for farming is limited, and there are the most poisonous snakes in the world, except for sand, it is a poisonous snake, even if you force your son to die, you can't get so much money!"

Zhu Gaochi puffed out his fat cheeks and said righteously and strictly.

"Why does he say anything, damn it!" Zhu Di scolded Liu Chun in his heart, and he said with a straight face: "Such a big place, can there be no minerals?" If you find one, you'll be rich. ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head like a rattle, "Father, in business, it is because the land area is too large that it is not easy to find it. The sons and daughters didn't dare to take risks, or the emperor would change the reward for the emperor. Seeing that Zhu Di's face was dark, the big fat man hurriedly said: "Actually, I don't want to reward anything, the child is also very happy!" The second brother concentrates on the study of the steam engine, and the child is dedicated to raising dolphins and enriching the people's dining table, which is also a matter of immeasurable merit, really, the child is not greedy for anything! ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't play a little trick with me to retreat into advance!" 20 million taels a year, not a penny less, but my father can give me some time, and I don't need you to hand it over immediately, right? ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "There is one more article, the grace period cannot calculate the interest!" ”

is really worthy of Liu Chun's apprentice, Zhu Di gritted his teeth in anger, but he still nodded. The father and son actually signed a document, Zhu Gaochi forced his father to stamp the big seal, in duplicate, he carried a document, came out of the dormitory, and the worries just now were swept away, replaced by full joy!

Get rich!

Really made a fortune!

What's more important is that he tricked his father!

There is nothing else in Australia, but there are many mines!

Gold mines, iron mines, too many to count. And don't look at the fact that this continent is very dry, but the grazing is still enough, and it is excellent pasture.

With ore and wool, you can make a lot of money.

It's only 20 million taels, he really doesn't take it seriously.

Zhu Gaochi felt that his luck had been really good recently, and it was so good that it was infinitely good. Pig breeding was also successful, and it also got to Australia and took a big advantage. With brisk steps, he ran to Liu Chun's mansion.

"Master, your old man should hurry up and instruct your disciples, how can you get rich?"

Liu Chun took over the paperwork of the big fat man and his father, and his eyes suddenly widened, it really makes people jealous and crazy! He kept thinking about getting the Americas into his hands, but he didn't expect the apprentice to get Australia in advance, but he could get a big piece of fat.

It's just that after calming down, Liu Chun also realized a problem.

"Whether it's mining or raising sheep, you need manpower...... How many can you get now? ”

How could Zhu Gaochi have a way, he spread his hands.

"Master, isn't the disciple here to find you, hurry up and help me figure out a way!"

Liu Chun hesitated slightly, and immediately came up with an idea.

"I can't help you directly with this...... You go to the Ministry of Punishment and ask them to write a book, saying that in order to severely punish some criminals, you need to find a special place to exile the prisoners, and you can't give them a chance to escape. Like Annam, Dongfan, and even Java are too close, the farther away the better, and it is better to hang alone overseas. ”

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing, "Master, how good do you just say Australia?" ”

Liu Chun waved his hand very seriously, "No, Your Majesty will see it if you say this." ”

Zhu Gaochi was speechless, is this treating his father as a fool? Who can't see such an obvious thing? Zhu Gaochi was full of questions, but Liu Chun was full of confidence and told him not to be afraid, just follow the master's instructions.

Sure enough, three days later, the Ministry of Punishment sent me an opinion on the adjustment of the place of exile...... This thing was approved by the cabinet and presented to Zhu Di, but the jade seal was used that night, which is two words: quasi-playing!

Faced with this result, Zhu Gaochi was also dumbfounded.

It turns out that his father is not so wise and martial!

It is also very easy for those below to deceive him.

It's really easy, what Zhu Di cares about more includes the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, most of which are in charge of personnel, soldiers and horses, money and food, these three things are the core of a country, and the rest of the things are secondary.

Isn't the purpose of setting up a cabinet to reduce the burden?

"So...... Congratulations to Your Highness, in the current prison cell of Daming, there are as many as 300,000 people who can be assigned to the past! It's enough for His Highness to show his strength. ”

Zhu Gaochi was happy at first, but then he was also worried, 300,000 people, if it is an honest and good family, it is okay, all of them are a bunch of thorns, and their lives are too bitter!

"Master, didn't you say that the disciple had become the leader of the bad guys? Will this damage my image? ”

Liu Chun gave him a big look, now that he wants his good family to go to Australia, will people take the risk? If you don't assign prisoners, who will do the work for you?

"Then only after a few years, when the development is almost complete, His Highness can order that anyone who goes must provide a certificate of innocence before they can land, how about it?"

Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said to himself: "It seems that this is the only way, but why does it sound a little shameless?" ”

Liu Chun shrugged his shoulders, what shamelessness is this! As long as you don't pretend to be moral in the future, don't blame others everywhere, and splash dirty water indiscriminately, you will already be much more noble than some people.

Since the twelfth year of Yongle, almost every day there have been ships sailing to Australia, filled with prisoners from the Ming Dynasty, ship after ship.

Thousands of people were sent to this strange land.

They had to do it themselves, build houses and villages, form settlements, and then reclaim the land, plant and breed, and find all the ways to support themselves.

So in a very short time, a very interesting profession has emerged, and that is animal trafficking!

Australia's wildlife is so interesting, isolated for a long time, it retains a lot of strange things, like platypus, marsupials, strange vipers, and birds that are so big that they can't fly...... All attracted the interest of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially after the incident of treating the snow leopard as a donkey, biology began to rise in the Ming Dynasty.

People are increasingly trying to figure out what is so strange about their friends who live under the same blue sky as them...... The creatures brought back from Australia have built a separate "Ten Thousand Animal Garden".

And selling tickets to the public, a ticket costs 100 wen, just the first day of opening, it attracted 30,000 people, contributing 3,000 taels of ticket revenue!

"Okay, this kid has really made a fortune!"

Zhu Dixin said that it is three thousand taels a day, and this year, there are not as many as one million taels! It's too good to make money, isn't it?

"Your Majesty, looking at strange animals, that is, fresh for a while, it is impossible for so many people every day! But also to catch animals, long-distance transportation, rent a venue...... It's all going to cost a lot of money, and Your Highness really can't make much,"

Liu Chun's words finally dispelled Zhu Di's impulse to grab a vote.

But the news that came out next was indeed that Zhu Di couldn't sit still at all.

Gold has been discovered in Australia!

A very large gold mine, Zhu Gaochi is very straightforward, and named the place where the gold was found Jinshan City!

Zhu Di was crazy, and sure enough, he found the gold mine so quickly, and the reserves were very amazing, this kid was definitely prepared.

"Yoo Chun! You told me the truth, was it the result of your deliberate thinking? ”

How could Liu Chun admit it, he hurriedly waved his hand and denied it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the blessing of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is a good thing that His Royal Highness has made a fortune!"

"His good things are not necessarily my good things!" Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "If I knew this, I shouldn't have agreed, let him delay the payment!" Now he must hand over the gold, immediately, immediately! ”

Liu Chun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not easy to pan for gold, you can't just watch thieves eat meat and not watch thieves get beaten." Tens of thousands of talents are now assigned to Australia. It is really not easy for them to take care of life and mining. In a year, it's only a few hundred thousand taels of gold, and Your Majesty can't do the thing of killing chickens and taking eggs! ”

Liu Chun spent countless spit and finally dispelled Zhu Di's thoughts.

When he dragged his tired body back to the mansion, Zhu Gaochi was already smiling and waiting.

"Master, your old man is so interesting, the disciple has some gifts, and he is about to give them to the master."

Liu Chun squinted at Zhu Gaochi and snorted coldly: "What bad idea do you kid have?" Speak up! Don't hide it! ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly handed a gift list to Liu Chun.

500,000 taels of gold!

Liu Chun couldn't help but widen his eyes, "How did you get it?" ”

500,000 taels of gold is 5 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to a quarter of 20 million, if it is so easy to make money, it is not difficult to deal with Zhu Di at all!

"Master, this is all the disciple's hard work, filial piety to the master, there is really no other meaning!"

Liu Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly sneered: "I believe you got it, but it's not enough to rely on that little person, right?" Did you catch a black slave? ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head when he heard this, "Master, black slaves don't like to work, so the disciple catches the white slave!" ”
