This world needs bad people. Only bad people can make the warriors who defeat bad people appear full of honor.

This sentence perfectly fits the changes in the New World over the past decade.

First, in North Asia, for the Eastern Military Palace, the easiest place to establish a foundation is the city of Mexico, which was once enslaved by the Spanish.

The people in those places recognized the Ming Dynasty very highly, even better than the local people of Majiagang who were cold and frozen.

In more places, local people recognize local officials and Eastern Military Palaces, and the Ming Dynasty is still a distant symbol for them, just as the local people living near the Heishui Mart Islands west of Majiagang also had some copper coins such as Yongle Tongbao as family heirlooms.

People living in the narrow strip of the West Coast are more likely to accept the Ming Dynasty than the east, and there is only one emperor in the world.

But in Brazil, this will be a little bit harder.

Commander Lu Feng was doing his best to stop the local people from treating him as a savior.

"This is not very good." Zhao Shizhen, the chief of the Oriental Army Office who came to Rio to perform official duties, picked up the porcelain cup containing reddish-brown juice and approached his mouth, and smiled: "The people respect the flag army very much and worship the commander even more. Isn't this acknowledgement of Commander Lu's achievements in expelling Portuguese?"

He drank juice called Azaiberries, which grew in the rainforest and was earned by the people's tribute to Riowei.

The mechanics unit was dispatched by its immediate superior to visit the Rio Guard to see Lu Feng's recent situation, with the purpose of observing the possibility of further exploration of Brazil by the Ming army, because the Matsuo Matsuo in the north just sent someone to report to Chen Mu two months ago that the exploration of the Big Lakes west of Matsuo County had basically been completed.

The ore reserves were too large, and they found coal fields that could not be explored, iron mountains with huge reserves and extensive distribution, stone mountains with excellent texture and numerous silver, copper and gold mines. Most of them were mining capabilities that Muye County currently has, and could not be excavated or used.

So Yang Zhaolong felt that there was no need to explore any more. Instead of letting these limited number of miners spend endlessly here, it was better to send them to other places to explore more unknown mine reserves.

There are many mines in Makino, but there are more problems with ore being unable to be utilized. Under the existing conditions, it is a dead end... A large number of mines are located on the banks of the five major lakes, and it is difficult to transport it far away from the coast. Even if there are canal ships and rivers, transportation is also difficult. Several rivers in the middle that cannot be navigated need to be repaired, and the effort consumed is no more convenient than building tracks.

But the track that Chen Shuai set down requires iron, transportation requires tracks, and tracks require iron.

On the contrary, the wooden and iron composite railway built by the domestic court is more in line with their existing technical foundation.

So now, not only does Makino have a section of railroad tracks on both ends, but a wooden and iron composite track is being built in the middle. The Dongyang Military Office also has a group of idle craftsmen who specialize in prospecting. Most of them are from Nanjing Craftsman College and have rich geological theoretical knowledge. Their work in Makino also gives him sufficient practical experience in the metals he already knows, and is ready to wait for the next job reward.

They are like a group of bounty hunters controlled by the Eastern Military Palace. As long as the Eastern Military Palace issues orders and allows them to prospect this land, they will raise funds to hire guards, servants, apprentices, and lead teams to work in any land... because some seniors have already returned to China by boat.

During the exploration of Muye's five major lakes the year before yesterday, the magistrate Yang Zhaolong gave the prospector a lot of silver rewards. Taking iron ore as an example, fifty miners made a furnace. Each iron ore was discovered, and each furnace was rewarded with silver rewards of ten taels per furnace according to the scale.

As a result, three old craftsmen led their own teams reached out to the huge coalfields of 800 miles and 50 miles across, which was more than Shanxi plus one. The young magistrate Yang Zhaolong could not afford to pay any more, so he could only send a letter of help to Chen Mu. However, Chen Mu could not afford to pay such a big deal. According to the reward set by Yang Zhaolong, his Dongyang Military Mansion would not be enough to fill in the year of entering.

But he couldn't break his promise, so Chen Mu sent the whole story back to the court. His original intention was to agree to it. He wanted to discuss with the court that the military government spent too much this year, and still gave silver to the annual income. He gave half of the goods and asked the three craftsmen to drive back a fleet full of goods, but the emperor denied it.

The emperor said what the use of giving money was. The three craftsmen who were not famous and had no support suddenly received a huge silver reward. It was not a blessing but a road to death. Moreover, the emperor carefully calculated the account of how much silver should be rewarded. Each of the three people was amazing.

In the past, the ministers reported the emperor a detailed number of returns. Now the Dongyang Military Palace did not dare to calculate before the matter was settled, but instead let the emperor calculate it.

Wanli said, please ask Jing Haibo to discuss with the three of them first. If they want money, the Dongyang Military Palace will be exempted from entering this year, and they will give it all. They must agree to ask for less money. My Shanxi coal mine is short of three fifth-grade mine supervisors, each of whom will give me meritorious archways, each of which will select one descendant to protect the three generations of brocade clothes and a hundred households, and a reward of 100,000 taels of silver.

Finally, I added another sentence, Jing Hai Bo must take a look at the large coalfield for me.

Chen Mu felt a lot of trouble when he read the reply... Wanli or set up a mining supervisor?

No matter what Chen Mu thought, the news of this matter was spreading and it became aroused by the group of mining exploration craftsmen. To be honest, in the eyes of most mortals, there is no big difference between 100,000 taels and 500,000 taels. Anyway, they are all from others, and they will never spend them all in their lives. Anyway, I really have so much money and I don’t know how to spend it. Even if I really have it, I have to be worried that people will kill me and snatch it away.

Anyway... I really want that much money!

As a result, the court really gave it to the court, which was 100,000 taels of silver like snowflakes, a fifth-rank official position higher than the magistrate, a hundred households with the three generations of brocade clothes that only the generals gave to the emperor to cultivate in his hometown.

The guarantee of the three lives of the chicken and dog ascend to heaven is because a large mine was found in North Asia and it was all available.

This was something I never dared to think about in the past.

Everyone's eyes turned to Colombia and Brazil. In such a large place on the map, is there no big mine?

It was as if all European explorers were trying to find a route to China during the Age of Discovery, and China did not think so; everyone tried to go to Brazil, but Lu Feng, the commander of the Riogu Guard in Brazil, did not seem to think so.

Facing Zhao Shizhen's complimentary praise, Lu Feng was already big and spread his hands, saying, "Mr. Zhao, don't make fun of me anymore. I still want to be promoted. They regard me as a Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and live. How can I get promoted in the future? How can I go to other places? My grandfather fought two wars with Portuguese in Zoumaxi in Zoumaxi. Now Lu is a mere commander, and is worshipped by them in the small place of Riogu."

"I came here to make achievements. I didn't come to be a herdsman official, to fight Spain, Portugal, France, England, His Majesty and the General will do whatever they want. Send me there, wrap a horse in the body or make a horse on his back. A hundred years later, my hometown in Chuzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province not only has a monument of my grandfather, but also the tomb of the Marquis of Yilu. This is what a real man should do in life."
