    Because there is often a dilemma between land and people, European countries are not very obsessed with colonies. As long as the price is reasonable, no piece of land cannot be sold.  Not to mention now, even two hundred years later, the Americans still obtained three times the additional territory of the thirteen states through buying and selling, laying the material foundation for world hegemony.  In the past hundred years, land has flooded into the market.  As long as any country establishes a management agency somewhere and erects a monument and plants a flag, the land will rightfully belong to it.  And this kind of behavior has also been respected by the civilized world. Just like when the Ming Dynasty announced the naturalization of Ping Island and Australia, businessmen from various European countries acquiesced to this fact, and no one would consult the opinions of the local natives.  ¡°In another time and space, the Russians sold 1.5 million square kilometers of Alaskan land to the United States for $7.21 million.  Another hundred years passed after that, and people thought that the brains of the Russian woolly bears were frozen, and they actually did this kind of business.  What's even more tragic is that the Russian government's banknote transport ship sank at that time, which equaled a net loss of one hundred thousand US dollars and gave away a large peninsula for nothing.  However, the Russians thought it was a good deal at the time.  ¡°Alaska is useless except for its fur and ice, which can be sold for a good price.  Moreover, there are more than 70 active volcanoes in the area, and earthquakes occur frequently.  The most fundamental reason is that the method of acquiring Alaska was too simple - the Tsar hired a Dutchman and planted a Russian flag after crossing the Bering Strait, so this place belonged to Russia.  On the one hand, Seward, the American politician who led the purchase of Alaska, was scolded so much that he dared not go out because the American people thought it was "a bad deal."  It can be seen that historical limitations are too easy to happen to every mortal.  Returning to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, we regained Luzon Island and expelled the red-haired barbarians.  Severely punishing the local natives who were the lackeys of the Red Barbarians and developing Luzon into the Ming Dynasty's rubber plantations and sugar cane plantations was a matter of morality and interests, and no one would object.  But after three months of fighting, Ming Dynasty experienced a war situation of lining up for the first time, although it won.  But my son's life is only exchanged for the Gobi Desert in North America. This is not acceptable to everyone.  "What's more, that's the land of our Ming Dynasty!" "Why do we need the consent of the Xiyi people for the land discovered by our Ming Dynasty!"  More and more voices of doubt in the newspapers are pounced on the cabinet, but no one is talking about the Spanish sheep.  focus on.  As everyone knows, America is different from Asia.  In Asia, the Ming Dynasty could crush the Spaniards with ten times its troops.  In America, the balance of strength between Ming and Xi is the other way around.  Even if they work very hard to build ships and immigrate, there are only 30,000 Ming people in the American continent.  Mainly gathered in the Dongjing Mansion (San Francisco) area, 80% of them are farmers and 10% are craftsmen. The real combat force only has one battalion with 3,000 people.  There are 300,000 Spaniards in the Americas, with four viceroyalties and hundreds of thousands of indigenous peoples under their jurisdiction.  Even in the era of mini bombs, advanced firearms may not be able to fight against several times the number of cold weapon troops.  The British, Portuguese and even Italians all know this.  Once the scale of the war could not be suppressed, Mingxi launched a larger-scale war on the American continent.  Then the Ming army may not have more chances to win.  ¡°Don¡¯t fight uncertain battles. This is a rule established by His Majesty the Emperor when he founded the army.  "In the past, military generals took the blame for civilian officials, but now it's reversed." Sun Chuanting sat in the staff room and sighed.  Sitting opposite Sun Chuanting was Yang Wei, a young colonel professor at the Armed Forces University.  Yang Wei was at home in the ivory tower environment and perfected his theory at an astonishing speed.  Under the guidance of His Majesty the Emperor.  The Ming Dynasty version of geopolitics has basically formed a system, and the first thing Yang Wei has to do is to instill this new way of thinking into several cabinet elders.  Even if the cabinet elders can¡¯t accept it, at least they have to know it.  Seeing Sun Chuanting, the cabinet minister most inclined to military generals, sigh like this, Yang Wei knew that the recent Qing Dynasty report in the newspaper still caused a lot of trouble for the cabinet.  In fact, the cabinet was indeed wronged. The American issue was a strategy proposed by the Governor-General to advise the emperor.  The final tone.  "Sir, sir," Yang Wei said politely, "When the Ming Dynasty consolidated America, the contribution of opening up the territory will also belong to you." "When I came out of the country in armor, how could I have thought about any military merits? I just wanted to do something for you.  The legacy of our ancestors is gone. Now that we are too old, we are no longer as motivated as you young people." Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said, "You do have some skills, but for us old people, I'm afraid they are of no use."  "Why did the old gentleman say this?" Yang Wei really didn't know.? ? Sun Chuanting just smiled, but didn't say anything.  In fact, the key lies in age.  Since the Zhou Dynasty, it has been normal for officials to reach their official posts in their seventies. Those like Li Yuzhi who are still serving in the court in their eighties have special needs.  Now that the country is stable and prosperous, Wu Di will definitely not postpone his official career.  So in total, Wu Zong served as the first assistant for only two years.  Sun Chuanting was only four years younger than Wu Di. According to the tradition of seniority in the cabinet, his career as chief assistant was actually only four years.  This is when he is healthy.  "Mr. Zhou Ge will be serving as an official next year." Sun Chuanting was softened by this colonel who was younger than his grandson after all, and he pointed out the key points.  Zhou Yingqi is actually going to take office this year, but before the court recommends new cabinet ministers, people find that there are some differences between recommending local governors to the cabinet and Chao Zhongtang to the cabinet.  One side believes that we should learn from the lessons of the National Revolution and follow the example of the Song Dynasty. No one without local experience can join the cabinet.  The other side feels that the National Revolution is just a stain after all, and since Chengzu established the cabinet, Qingliu has been the mainstream. Now that the country has returned to normal, this system should be restored as well.  So, the divination ceremony was put on hold.  There is also Cai Maode who is the same age as Zhou Yingqi, but he is in a special situation.  Because the emperor said on his seventieth birthday: Mr. Cai is good at maintaining health and is as healthy as a man in his fifties.  "These words may sound auspicious to ordinary people, but to the emperor and cabinet ministers, they actually mean to retain him.  Cai Maode himself is conscientious and self-disciplined, and his work attitude is the most consistent with His Majesty the Emperor, so it is normal for the Emperor to keep him as his first assistant for two years.  The most unlucky people were actually Jiang Dejing and Yuan Jixian.  These two people are the same age as Sun Chuanting. When Sun Chuanting becomes an official, they will also become an official. There will be no chance to move up to the next level.  The situation in the DPRK is bound to change greatly in the past few years. After Wu Di returned home to embrace his grandson, the burden of stabilizing the DPRK situation fell on Sun Chuanting.  In the end, the emperor, the person who connects the past and the next, has chosen Cai Maode. So far, everything seems to be well arranged.  Yang Wei was not sensitive to this, and just said: "These past few years have been really sad. There are also many generals in the Metropolitan Governor's Office who have to remove their armor." Personnel transfer in the military is even more troublesome.  Qin Liangyu has reached an old age. Although he is still very strong and has a good appetite, he must eventually let him go back to enjoy the happiness of family.  Veterans such as You Shiwei are also old, but the rising stars are happy to be in the main force and attend the battle in person, and are unwilling to return to Beijing to sit in their jobs.  Moreover, Xiao Mo and Xiao Donglou all have combat missions, so it doesn't mean they can be transferred back.  Now it seems that the military attache is really in trouble.  Fortunately, the authority today is rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is even comparable to that of Taizu and Chengzu.  In the seventh year of Longjing, Zhu Cixi basically stabilized the eight-hour work system and was able to take two days off every ten days.  If you include the half-day retreat tea party with the cabinet and the governor's office, it's basically seven days and three days off.  This was considered a lazy attitude in the Taizu Dynasty, but it did not prevent him from exerting a great influence on the government.  Military reports from various places are still full of good news.  The first pot of vulcanized rubber has achieved good results. You can study the formula while actually applying the vulcanized rubber.  As long as the public sees that it is profitable, many people will naturally follow suit.  Of course, the royal family will not let go of this golden rice bowl. Baohe Store has set up a rubber investment company specifically to invest in private rubber factories in the country. Although it does not occupy an absolute share, it is enough to ensure dividend income.  Under Zhu Cixiang¡¯s strength, the Ming Dynasty royal family really wanted to become the richest royal family in the world.  "The talent reserve was destroyed during the Wanli period, and we still have to pay off the debt today." Zhu Cixiang was helpless about this, but such public criticism of his great grandfather could only be said in a secret room.  The Queen knows that many old ministers have recently requested to become officials. Firstly, they are getting older, and secondly, serving as an official under their husband is indeed more difficult than before.  "Is there any news about the return of the father, the emperor, and the empress?" Zhu Cihong asked.  The Supreme Emperor of Nanxing was very happy to be in Shu. He had a great time in Jiangnan and even thought of going south to Fujian and Zhejiang.  You can go to Zhejiang, but it¡¯s best to avoid the mountainous place in Fujian.  Otherwise, the local government will definitely be in a state of panic. It will be too late to build roads, and there will be no need to do other things.  "My father knows about the rubber tires and asks Beijing to send a batch there." Duan said.  "It should be so." Zhu Cixiang nodded.  To achieve shock absorption and comfort, there are three cutting-edge technologies: spring steel, high-level road surfaces, and rubber tires.  Spring steel seems to be far away and the level is high.The road surface is limited by the total industrial capacity of Ming Dynasty, and the mileage is very short.  But now there are inflatable rubber tires, which is definitely a big leap compared to the wooden wheel era.  "Father also said that resting more with the people is the proper attitude of the Holy Lord." Duan whispered.  Zhu Cihong said: "Isn't that the case for me?" "How long will the war last for you? I have nightmares every night when I think about fighting with my concubines." Duan said bluntly.  Zhu Cixiang knew that the psychological endurance of people in this era was limited. Not to mention the Duan family, even the Supreme Emperor Chongzhen was not like this, otherwise he would not have stayed in Jiangnan and refused to come back.  (To be continued)
