Chapter 502 Ore transported to Tianfu Imperial Palace, side hall of Fengtian Hall. Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance, his eyes full of excitement and longing. He was excited about Tang and their success, knowing that this would be an important moment that changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty. "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is growing stronger day by day. Now Duke Xin is leading a fleet to mine ore on Treasure Island. This will make the Ming Dynasty even richer and our national strength even stronger." Fu Youwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, said excitedly to Zhu Yuanzhang. "Yes, this is an important opportunity for me, Daming, and we must make good use of it." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone with wisdom. He admired Tang He's talent and courage very much. "Dingchen is my old brother and he is very down-to-earth in his work. I have full confidence in him." "Now the minerals on Treasure Island will become the foundation for our country's future development, which will make our country increasingly rich." Fu Youwen continued: "Your Majesty, Duke Xin and the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry have jointly studied the geological distribution map of Treasure Island, and they found that it is rich in gold and silver ores, as well as various other valuable minerals. "

"As long as it is developed and utilized rationally, it will definitely bring huge wealth to our country." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly when he heard this, and then thought for a moment: "Fu Youwen, you are responsible for organizing people to assist Tang He in mining and smelting on Treasure Island." "Liu Sanwu, you lead the mining team to ensure the smooth transportation and smelting of the ore." "Everyone needs to work closely together to ensure the smooth progress of this work." "Yes, Your Majesty!" Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu both looked excited. They know that this is a rare opportunity and a test of their abilities. In the following days, Fu Youwen started organizational work. He organized a hundred soldiers and a team of skilled craftsmen and sent them all to Treasure Island. The environment on the island is harsh, so Fu Youwen did their ideological work well before they set off. Liu Sanwu organized a skilled mining team to mine and smelt the ore using the most advanced technology and equipment to ensure the quality and quality of the ore. After the unremitting efforts of the two ministers, the ore from Treasure Island began to be continuously transported back to Yingtian Mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply satisfied with this. He knew that Tang He, Liu Sanwu, and Fu Youwen were using practical actions to create a more prosperous country and country for the Ming Dynasty. ....... This day. Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the court and came to Confucius Temple feeling dizzy. Now, whenever he comes down from the unchanging court and listens to Lin Che's lectures, there is always a surprise for him. The mansion next door. Lin Che looked at brothers Zhu Ping and Zhu Bai who had longing expressions on their faces. Today, Lin Che will continue his previous explanation of the Minerals on Treasure Island, and will also show them the layout and deployment of the Ming Dynasty after it owns the minerals. Lin Che started his lecture with a smile: "We know that Treasure Island is rich in mineral resources, especially gold and silver." "The Ming Dynasty was not established for a long time, and its financial situation is not optimistic. These minerals are extremely important to the Ming Dynasty." “However, when we start to own mineral resources, we also need to consider how to rationally deploy and utilize these resources to maximize their value.”

"Daming needs to establish a complete mineral management system." Lin Che took a sip of tea and continued: "First of all, we must formulate a set of strict mineral mining regulations to prevent resource waste and indiscriminate mining." "In addition, we also need to establish a specialized mining management agency to be responsible for monitoring and regulating mineral extraction activities.” Zhu Xi nodded and agreed: "It is true. If we don't have a reasonable management system, even if we have rich mineral resources, it will cause all kinds of problems." "That's right." Lin Che continued: "Moreover, we need to be good at utilizing the added value of these minerals." "In addition to using these mineral wealth for national construction and development, we can also produce high value-added products through processing and refining to further promote the development of Ming Dynasty's economy." Zhu Ping listened with great interest. He knew that this was indeed a good idea: "Then we can extract more wealth from these minerals and promote the development of business and trade." "That's right." Lin Che nodded in agreement. "With quality and the development of the Ming Dynasty's minerals, we can use these gold and silver to build a powerful fleet to protect our trade routes while also expanding our territory and sphere of influence." Zhu Bai asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, can we use these minerals to enhance the country's military strength?" Lin Che smiled and replied: "Of course. The development of mineral resources can not only bring wealth to the Ming Dynasty, but also provide military equipment and weapons, enhancing our military strength." "We can develop more advanced artillery and ships, allowing Ming Dynasty to occupy a more important position in the world." Zhu Ping listened intently and couldn't help but praise: "Sir, your ideas are really forward-looking, and we have learned a lot." When Lin Che heard this, she smiled and looked at her two students. "Sir, will you teach us the next lesson today?" Zhu Xi asked again. At this moment, he was eager to learn, eager to know more knowledge and the outside world. "Of course, I will give you some theories and history today. I believe it will be helpful to your future." Lin Che said in a calm tone. He hoped to sow the seeds of hope in their hearts. In the secret room next door. Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youwen listened silently. Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully to Lin Che's every word, his eyes shining with anticipation. Since he ascended the throne, he has been longing for this day to come - he yearns for the prosperity of the Ming Empire, and longs for the people of the world to live a good life. But when Lin Che talked about the minerals on Treasure Island, Zhu Yuanzhang became very excited. He could imagine that if the Ming Dynasty mastered these mineral deposits, it would be able to mint more coins, expand its armaments, and provide better equipment and weapons for its soldiers. "Fu Aiqing, did you hear that? The minerals on Treasure Island are so important to us!" "We can use this to enhance the military strength of the Ming Dynasty and make our Ming Dynasty more powerful and prosperous." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly to Fu Youwen. "Your Majesty, these are indeed important opportunities for me, Daming." "If we master the minerals on Treasure Island, we can not only strengthen our military power, but also improve the economic strength of our country." Fu Youwen knew Emperor Hongwu's ambitions, and he also had the same hope. The lecture next door is still going on.

Lin Che told examples of how other countries in history used minerals to enhance their strength, and how the Ming Dynasty missed many opportunities in the past years... (End of this chapter)
