Once things like gold, silver, copper and iron are involved, Lin Jingchun can always burst out with extremely powerful action.

When it comes to these precious metals, he is like a wealthy slave who is full of energy to get money at home, not as calm, restrained and wise as usual.

However, when encountering gold and copper ores of this level, they are basically equivalent to something unowned, and Su Yonglin himself finds it difficult to control his emotions.

Minerals are equal to wealth, and having more minerals that can be mined for a long time was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

He did not know at first that there was no formal regime on Luzon. He did not know the history of Southeast Asia in this era, and thought that there might be some regimes in these places.

But now he knows that in this era, these places are truly [Bornless Land]. Whoever claims first will belong to whom, and there is no reason to say.

This not only helps the Ming Dynasty obtain a large number of gold and copper ores, but also helps the Ming Dynasty to directly explore overseas settlements, and then immigrate to the situation and directly assimilate the local area into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is also a good choice.

However, the most important thing at the moment is minerals. Discover minerals, take down minerals, set up mining factories, mine all the gold and copper ores, and then turn them into heavy gold and copper coins.

Although American silver cannot be obtained for the time being, using gold from Luzon and Japan and silver as a substitute can barely launch a less-than-complete monetary reform action.

Moreover, the large copper mine on Luzon Island can also provide important mineral support for the Ming Dynasty, which lacks copper, so the large amount of copper resources needed to break through technology in the future will have a way out.

Su Yonglin made the news public, which caused a stir of heated discussions inside and outside the government. Officials heatedly discussed the gold and copper mines found on Liuqiu Island and Luzon Island, and then in turn praised Su Yonglin's foresight and previous persistence.

When we started the Beiyang and South Ocean route exploration plan, there was no small voice in opposition between the government and the country and the country. Many people believed that doing so would not bring benefits, but it was just spending money in vain.

In addition, the Yellow River project was not completely over at that time, so Su Yonglin insisted on pushing this matter forward, and tried his best to overcome the opposition, and finally achieved the implementation of the plan.

And now, the plan has given him full feedback.

Those inside and outside the government and outside who had objected and did not support him finally shut up and no longer made any comments against the ocean exploration plan.

Sure enough, in the face of real interests, human reason will still return.

So Su Yonglin breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nanyang Expedition Fleet has made tangible profits, and huge expenditures have seen the possibility of return, but the Beiyang Expedition Fleet has not yet heard of any valuable minerals being discovered.

As far as Su Yonglin knows, the news sent back by the Beiyang Expedition Fleet is all about [cold].

It was very cold. After crossing Sakhalin Island and continuing to head northeast, it was not only cold but also cold, but also snow fields, large primitive forests, many large and small wild animals can be seen on land, and a lot of fish can be caught in the sea, but there is no shortage of food.

However, there is almost no people all the way north. According to Su Yonglin's world map, it may take some time to cross the legendary strait to reach the continent on the other side of the sea. As for whether human settlements can be discovered, it may take more time.

Then they hope to get more cold-proof materials and require enough patience from the court.

This is also helpless.

Because they can see the snowfields and ice fields that are rarely visited from Sakhalin Island, and it is difficult to find human settlements, unless they cross the Bering Strait to reach North America, they can try their luck to see if they can meet the Inuits.

The Inuits seem to look quite similar to the Chinese, and Su Yonglin even believes that they may have migrated from the Central Plains thousands or ten thousand years ago.

If they could be discovered, they could trade with them, establish docking and supply stations in their settlements, and give the Beiyang fleet a little comfort to the long-distance Beiyang fleet.

However, if you want to truly discover a valuable existence, I am afraid that the Beiyang fleet will still need to go through some twists and turns and endure the long-term cold before you can finally arrive in the North American continent and obtain gold and silver.

But no matter what, Su Yonglin's reputation is still increasing.

Whether it is the theater troupe or the ocean expedition fleet, he is pushing forward with all his strength.

At the beginning, many people always opposed it. They used various reasons to question Su Yonglin's motives and subsequent actions, believing that this is just a face-saving project that is a waste of money and is meaningless.

However, things always ruthlessly suck their faces, making their faces swollen.

Su Yonglin is always right and has almost never made any mistakes.

Faced with the fact that the Ming Dynasty became stronger and any action would bring benefits, the doubts and opposition to Su Yonglin became less and less.

More and more people seem to have recognized from the bottom of their hearts that Su Yonglin's existence is very special.

He is a person, but not exactly alone, as if the gods came to the earth and brought everyone a happy life, sufficient materials, and even glory.

Faced with such a Su Yonglin, let alone the young people who had longed for him, even the old people in Jiangnan who were very dissatisfied with him, they were impressed by his far-reaching insight and firm will, and were very impressed by this.

They don’t like Su Yonglin’s stereotypes and persistence, but they all admire Su Yonglin’s accurate vision and decision-making.

So even if they were unhappy and even if they wanted to make trouble, they never thought of shaking Su Yonglin's highest position.

Against this backdrop, when Su Yonglin announced his preparations for the war against Western Liao at a military meeting held in August, Lin Jingchun, who had always been the least willing to support the pioneering war, did not say anything, and directly acknowledged the fact that this war would inevitably go on.

Su Yonglin didn't have any reason to start using troops.

According to the news that a group of Tianwang Army spies who escorted Hu Ta and Alan back to Khwarezm and infiltrated into the Western Liao Dynasty, the heroine Yelu Pusuwan was preparing to use troops to Khwarezm.

The specific conflict between the two countries seemed to be caused by the conflict between an unobedient ethnic group living in the territory of Western Liao. The King of Khwarezm tried to use this as an excuse to break away from the control of Western Liao and no longer offer sacrifices to Western Liao, which caused great dissatisfaction from Yelu Pusuwan.

Although Yelu Pusuwan is a woman, as the spies living in Western Liao said, Yelu Pusuwan is a very strong empress, and can always hear descriptions of her tough image among the people and nobles, and people generally fear her.

This reminded Su Yonglin of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.

In such a profound and unshakable patriarchal society, it is difficult for a woman to become the supreme ruler not just as simple as it seems. If a group of men bow down and surrender, it must be a bit extraordinary.

Yelu Pusuwan obviously has something extraordinary, that is, her strength.

She must be stronger than the male ruler and more manly than the male ruler in order to gain the minimum respect and conviction, and on this basis, she must continue to achieve military victory and various achievements, so that she can hold the throne of the ruler.

In Yelu Pusuwan's opinion, Khwarezm's country wanted to get rid of the control of the Western Liao Dynasty, it was not that Khwarezm's country wanted to strive for independence, but that Khwarezm's country wanted her life.

People have sent the knife to their necks. If Yelu Pusuwan doesn't do anything big, he will not end the mission of the ruler early?

So it is not surprising that Yelu Pusuwan has such a reaction.
