Chapter 1019

Qingzhou.

One month after Lei Ming's expedition to Australia, the punishment for violating the meritorious service law was also very cruel, with the heaviest being late and the slightest being exiled to Siberia.

Pang Yukun and Fiji's looks changed, and both of them felt chilly. In his opinion, Xiao Ming's thought is an important step to strengthen the rule of law. Maybe the domestic chaos during this period has reached a level that he can't bear.

"The important affairs of our country should be dealt with in heavy allusions! When the merit law comes out, there will be no objection to the distribution of the land. " He said with a bow.

Xiao Ming nodded, in this era when human civilization is just beginning and people are still savage, we must use strict criminal law to regulate individual behavior.

"So the reply to Lei Ming this time is the meritorious act. Under the meritorious act, he can distribute land to his generals according to the meritorious act, and we also need someone to move here to completely control Australia. After you go back, you will officially promulgate the meritorious act to open up the authority of exchanging Australian land to the people. "Xiao Ming said lightly.

"Yes, Emperor." Pang Yukun and Fijian said together.

After dealing with this matter, Xiao Ming asked them to go back. As for the slave law that Lei Ming promulgated in Wales, he didn't discuss it.

Perhaps in the contemporary era, some Notre Dame would accuse him of this kind of behavior, but now it is only the 18th century. It is not long since human beings struggled out of the wilderness of civilization. Barbarism is still the synonym of this era. Slavery in Europe is developing to the peak. This kind of indifference will only lead to jokes.

What's more, even during World War II, there was basically no difference between captives and slaves, but it was a high sounding name.

Seeing them off, Cui Shangan, who was waiting outside the imperial study, came in. When he received the war report, he asked Cui Shangan to come.

"The emperor." Cui Shang'an is very careful. Just now Xiao Ming was a little unhappy because of the quarrel between the two cabinet elders. He doesn't want to be unlucky now.

Looking at Cui Shangan, Xiao Ming said, "today I want you to come here for a very important thing. Now that Australia has been conquered, the Empire's Nanyang strategy has made a good start, but it is far from the current needs of the Empire. Today, Britain can sail in all the sea areas of the world by not only sailing warships, but also ports."

When he came to the map, Xiao Ming pointed to a series of British ports marked on the world map, from Britain to America, Africa and Asia, and said, "see, this is the basis for Britain to maintain its maritime hegemony and economic interests. Without these ports, they would not be able to join the military forces."

"Does the emperor mean that we also want to build our port?" Cui Shangan has a problem in his heart.

"Yes, we want to destroy the European ports and build our own ports. As long as we control the ports, the world's economic hegemony will be in our hands. I call this strategy the pearl chain project. It took Europe 200 years to achieve the results. I hope it can be achieved in a short time." Xiao Ming said solemnly.

With the development of imperial industry, the market needed is also growing. One Korea, one Japanese country simply can not meet the current domestic market demand.

If we can't find the next market, the Empire's industry will shrink because of the lack of profits.

So he continues to export goods to Southeast Asia, India, Ottoman, America, Africa, and even Europe to make profits.

But contrary to this wish, the Dutch brought the news three days ago.

The impact of the breakdown of the negotiations with Britain and France was that the British and French missions ordered the trading ports of the coastal colonies to close to the Chinese empire on their way back, and no longer allowed any merchant ships and warships of the Chinese Empire to dock.

If the mission returns to Europe, Britain and France will probably jointly press the Netherlands to make decisions that are unfavorable to the Chinese Empire.

Because of the news from rod, he decided to launch the pearl chain strategy to break the arrogance of Europe.

However, it is not easy to realize this plan. After all, there is only one way to realize this plan, that is, the global projection of troops to occupy the European colonies.

Cui Shangan nodded and said, "if so, we need to strengthen our investment in the Navy and build an invincible fleet across the sea."
