Manpower is always a country's most valuable resource.

All wealth requires manpower to create. The wealth a country can create is related to both production technology and manpower. The combination of the two is productivity.

Otherwise, no matter how good the technology is.

It won't work without manpower. On the contrary, if there is no technology, no matter how much manpower is there, it will be useless.

The two can be said to be complementary to each other.

As for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, the upper limit of technology is almost locked. It is limited by too many things. Even if Zhu Yunzhen forcibly raises it, it will not be much higher.

We can only lay as good a foundation as possible and then leave it to future generations to study slowly.

But manpower is different!

Zhu Yunzhen is only eight years old now. As long as the people of the Ming Dynasty seize the time to create humans from now on, they will also improve the medical environment and reduce the mortality rate of children.

The population of Ming Dynasty will soon explode!

And that is what Chen Mei really wants to see!

Even if manpower is insufficient, arrangements must be made.

"Invincible!"

It made Chen Meizhen even more satisfied.

But there are no borders. There is no vast expanse of desert to the north. It is basically useful for a farming and civilized country like Xiao Ming.

By that time, no matter how bad I build Xiao Ming.

Daming asked curiously.

And just when Chen Meizhen silently arranged in her mind that these places were suitable for building reservoirs.

This was not something that had never happened in Zhu Yunxuan's previous life.

Zheng He and Xu Huizu took a look.

On the contrary, they got along quite harmoniously, which made Ming Dynasty Futian much better. After all, Xu Huizu was the only army general who could put his face into commanding the navy.

Morale is available, Xiaoming's navy is worried!

"And I will lead the newly formed navy to patrol the Japanese country to frighten the Japanese country!"

Zheng He and Xu Huizu left the house and knelt down first.

The Great Ming Dynasty would naturally destroy the Great Wall.

This is also one of the key factors why Ming Dynasty dared to raise the butcher's knife against a group of civil servants.

"Then..." Zheng He was greatly shocked.

Before listening to Xu Huizu's words.

Before getting Zheng He's answer, Ming Dynasty suddenly pointed to a map in front of him and asked: "Do they recognize that map?"

At the same time, I admired Taisun Dian even more in my heart.

They all said in unison: "This is a map for all nations!"

"It doesn't mean that when we go to sea, it's almost like the good weather touches eight small continents at the same time. The east, west, and south are all places where we can't explore as much as we want!"

"My lord, Zheng He has met with your Majesty!"

As time goes by, it may be quickly wiped out by the West relying on its geographical advantages!

"So, with the geographical position of the West, it is convenient to go to the sea."

Da Mingxi has an extra arm in the court! At least people like Lan Yu and the others support me now!

"And the same goes to the south."

The root cause of that problem is whether there are reliable enough ministers on hand!

To the west, there is no low mountain. It is blocked by natural dangers and it is difficult to retreat.

He recognized it immediately.

"Further forward, there are many big countries. The protruding area requires a detour, which is quite convenient."

"It will definitely become a thorn in Xiao Ming's side! When the Western Lands unite the resources of eight small continents with strong ships and cannons, what can you, Xiao Ming, do to resist?"

But I have thought that although Xiao Ming is small, from the perspective of the whole world, he is not in the most disadvantaged position!

"General Zheng took the experienced navy southward, along the coast, to the Western Ocean area."

Considering Xu Huizu’s status, it is possible for Ming Dynasty to treat me like that.

Chen Meizhen was slightly surprised, and at the same time a joy filled her heart.

Moreover, Chen Meizhen immediately turned her attention to Zheng He and Xu Huizu. Looking at the situation behind their eyes, it seemed that there was no resentment between them.

At that time, the support of those nobles was lost.

"yes!"

That's not something a good person can do! Even if you let others think about it for ten thousand years, I'm afraid they won't even think about it!

Before finishing his instructions to Xu Huizu, Ming Dynasty Emperor Zheng He said: "When he goes to the West this time, he should remember that the West is too far away from Xiao Ming, so the main purpose is to promote the prestige of Xiao Ming."

Even before industrialization, it actually had many uses.

Xiao Ming's army has no enemies in the sky yet.

But as for the navy, what Xiao Ming has to face is not only the navy of other countries, but also the unpredictable storms and waves under the sea.

"And to the west, you only need to cross a sea area that is many times larger than yours, Xiao Ming, to reach a new small continent."

Now Xiao Ming has to personally direct everything and plan the direction, which is really too tiring for Da Ming.

The Western Ocean is too far away, and Xiao Ming is still unable to stretch his hand to such a long place.

Let's just say it's a waste of talent.

Zheng He's answer was concise and weak, which made Ming Dynasty very worried.

The third is to have enough food, so building a reservoir in Daming to ensure harvests during droughts and floods is even more significant!

In just twenty or thirty years, it would not be a problem for the population of Ming Dynasty to increase several times!

"This can be said to be the best of both worlds. It can protect the Japanese country from any loss! It can also allow Xiaoming's navy to play a new role!"

"I will definitely create a navy capable of defeating enemies for Hui Xiaoming!"

At least, the smallest grain-producing areas after the Great Ming Dynasty should be arranged!

Da Mingxi nodded.

Such conditions are simply too convenient!

"Very bad!"

“At the same time, I am accumulating experience in underwater navigation.”

Before Chen Meizhen asked, Zheng He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I request to go to sea!"

But looking at the west, it is the same. There are small continents in the southeast, northwest and northwest! And they are quite far away from us. As long as we go to sea, the resources of those small continents are simply not waiting for us to get them!

It’s a real fight with people and heaven!

Although Xiaoming is vast.

Da Mingxi vividly drew a line under the map with his finger.

If you want to truly build an enemy-worthy navy, you need to accumulate less experience in underwater navigation and more complete, low-level shipbuilding technology.

"Your Majesty, Xu Huizu has seen your Majesty!"

"Wei Guogong, he can honestly change his ways, Gu is very depressed. He should remember that Shao Shao studied with the Marquis of Donghai, and there will definitely be no place for him in the future."

I have always been worried about Zheng He's work.

"Along the way, Shaoqing suppressed pirates and other forces that harmed the country and the people."

Suddenly no one came to the door to send a message.

The second is to improve medical care and avoid excessive premature death rates.

"At the same time, we will bring less goods with us to trade with Western countries, letting us know that there is not yet a prosperous country in the East."

Even though Xiao Ming is as narrow and wide as he is, he has enemies all over the world.

Before Xiao Ming could truly bring the Western Ocean under his control, he had to build a fleet capable of traveling to the seven seas and having enemies in the sky.

Fewer products from other countries will not help increase the vitality of Xiaoming’s domestic market.

It turned out that Zheng He and Xu Huizu were here.

“I want to follow Xiao Ming’s navy to sea again.”

That's why Chen Meizhen slowly set out to sea, because under the conditions in the West, it would be very slow to catch up.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng He, Mr. Zheng, and Ms. Chen, Mr. Ye Xu, would like to see you."
