"Huang Zhishen's note said that gold mines were also found near Mingmen Port. Although it is located in the north, the climate is warm and humid, suitable for farming. There are also large forests around Mingmen Port, rich wood, all of which are tall thousand-year-old trees, and no one cuts down. In addition, there is a long coastline north of Mingmen Port, which becomes colder the north, but there are many rare beasts there to hunt for fur. It seems to be a good foundation..."

Li Cuixian carefully introduced to Chen Dexing that it was probably the territory of Washington State in later generations, British Columbia, Canada and Alaska, the United States. Of course, the territory is good. It is not only vast but also rich in resources, with gold, coal, oil, gas, copper and iron ore. The climate is also pretty good, because the North Atlantic warm current is at least in later generations, Wengerwa and Seattle, which has a temperate marine climate, and sufficient rainfall, which is very suitable for plant growth. The population of Greater Vancouver and Seattle metropolitan areas in later generations exceeded 6 million, and both places are the fastest growing places in Canada and the United States. In addition, British Columbia in Canada and Washington State in the United States are both areas with extremely developed agriculture. The agricultural products produced are not only enough to feed the local population, but can also be sold to all parts of the world.

The country of Heavenly Palace, the foundation of kings and dominance!

There is more than one such territory in Beimingzhou. If you want to rank all the territory in the world, Beimingzhou is undoubtedly the first choice country. You have whatever you want. All kinds of resources are among the best in the world, and the cost of mining and utilization is not high, especially the agricultural resources are so rich that it makes people jealous.

Europe should be ranked behind Beimingzhou. This land from the Ural Mountains to the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean can support many world powers in later generations. It is not unreasonable that there is no shortage of resources and land, and it is not far from North Africa and the Middle East, so it is easy to obtain additional resources from there.

After Europe, it was probably the territory of China and India. It was not unreasonable to give birth to two ancient and wealthy civilizations (later poor, but most of the time they were quite rich).

As for Nanmingzhou, in Chen Dexing's memory, there seemed to be a bit short of coal. The early stages of industrial civilization was a civilization of coal and iron. The iron in Nanmingzhou was enough, but the coal was a bit short of coal. Moreover, the western coast of Nanmingzhou was divided into areas that were difficult to communicate with by the Andes, and it was difficult to develop a unified country with such a terrain.

A bunch of small countries that speak Spanish and believe in Roman Catholicism cannot be unified, which is already a bit of a problem.

It can be said that once the Beimingzhou and Europe are unified, it will be enough to become a behemoth that can compete for hegemony with the Ming Empire. Preventing the unification of Beimingzhou and Europe is the basic national policy of Chen Dexing and even the future Ming Empire.

As for India's unification, although it would not subvert the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty, it was also a big trouble. Therefore, it was also something that Chen Dexing had to try his best to avoid.

The eight countries under the 10,000 characters and the ban on Beimingzhou were supported to ensure that India and Beimingzhou would not be unified in the future. Therefore, when banning the ban, we must also consider that the strength and development space of the various countries can be balanced, and we must not enfeoff a single country to dominate.

"Mingmen Port can become a capital of a country." Chen Dexing raised his coffee cup, took a sip, and said in thought. "The Mingzhou ban cannot just divide a piece of land, at least one person has to give it to the capital."

Li Cuixian nodded with a smile. She knew that Mingzhou was a good place. But Mingzhou is too deserted now. If you want to establish a country, you should at least have a core territory that will be initially developed, right?

"Yes, there must be a city," Li Cuixian smiled. "It is better to have a city that enters the sea and the good port, otherwise it will be too remote. Mingmen can build a capital, and Jinshan City can also build a capital."

"Then Mingmen and Jinshan are the capitals of two countries. In addition, another city can be built south of Mingmen Bay. Let's name it Xingang for now. These three cities will be the capital of a country in the future." Chen Dexing nodded, basically agreeing with Li Cuixian.

According to Chen Dexing's idea, Alaska, British Columbia, Yukon, Alberta and Northwest Canada were established in later generations. The capital is Mingmen, which is a large piece of land! However, except for the Mingmen area, they are relatively cold and desolate. The land on the south can also develop large agriculture. It is a bit difficult to develop a territory close to the Arctic in the north.

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming in the United States are also a country, with the capital in Newport (Seattle territory). Although the land is smaller than the former, the climate is relatively warm and the value of development and utilization is also great.

The United States' California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah are also one country together, and the capital is Kingsoft Port. Kingsoft Port is now the garrison of the Governor's Office in Beimingzhou, and it is also the earliest city established by the Ming Dynasty in Mingzhou, and there are rich gold mines around it. It is naturally a good place.

Most of Mexico's territory and the five Central American countries in later generations (excluding Panama, where the Ming Dynasty must directly govern) will establish one country in the future, but these two countries will not be sealed off in the past twenty or thirty years. It is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's current Ming Dynasty. Most of the places in Mingzhou are too desolate, only there are large areas of cultivated farmland and a certain amount of labor. It can provide food and cloth for the development of the entire Mingzhou.

Li Cuixian smiled slightly and said tentatively: "Why would you better confer the Marquis of Mingmen to Kong'er first, the Marquis of Jinshan to Longer, and the Marquis of Xingang to Shou'er?"

Well, her three sons divided up most of the territory on the west coast of Beimingzhou! Baoyin, who was kneeling behind Chen Dexing and was pinching his back, couldn't help but frown slightly. The one in her belly didn't know if it was her son or daughter. If her son had to go to Mingzhou, he would have taken over the three best pieces of land in Mingzhou now for Li Cuixian's son. Where will his son go in the future?

Chen Dexing looked at Baoyin on the back of his head, so he naturally did not see the beautiful woman's resentful eyes. Moreover, he did not think that the best territory in Beimingzhou is in the west. The Great Lakes Region is the real king-to-dominated industry! If you want food and food, you need coal and iron, and water transportation is convenient. The transportation costs of coal mines, iron ore, and grain are extremely low. As long as the population is sufficient, it will be difficult to not take off in the industrial era!

Therefore, there cannot be only one country in the Great Lakes region, at least five countries. However, the sea estuary is probably not enough, and three countries must be landlocked countries. Go to the sea through the Mississippi River and the St. Lawrence River in later generations.

As compensation for the absence of an estuary, the area of ​​the three landlocked countries can be larger. A great country including the later Canadian Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan can be established to the north of the Great Lakes region. You can walk the St. Lawrence River (this river has not been discovered in this time and space, and naturally it is not named) and enter the Atlantic Ocean. The capital can be built on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, on the territory of Toronto in later generations. This country has a large territory and abundant resources. Iron ore, coal mine, oil, copper and so on are all rich in Chen Dexing's memory. However, the climate there is cold, and transportation was not very convenient before the construction of the large railway, so it is difficult to develop.

The climate in the south of the Five Great Lakes is warm, with rich coal and iron resources, and they are all close to rivers that can be navigated, so large iron ore and large coal mine production areas must not be controlled by the same country. Otherwise, this country will have the national strength to unify Beimingzhou in the future.

The largest country Chen Dexing plans to establish in the southern part of the Great Lakes is located in the territory of later states such as Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin. Minnesota is the main iron ore area in the United States, and the mining area is close to Lake Superior, and the transportation is very convenient. However, in Chen Dexing's memory, there is no coal carbon produced there, at least there are no large coal fields. However, there are vast plains, and there are too many lands that can be reclaimed to make people jealous, and it is also very fertile.

Another big country in the southern part of the Great Lakes has territory in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. As far as Chen Dexing knows, this land has large coal fields, and it seems to have some iron ore, but it is not the main iron ore area in the United States. At the same time, the land there is as fertile as it is to make people laugh. It is also a real good place. I wonder which son of Chen Dexing would be cheaper?

These two countries near the Great Lakes can go out to sea through the St. Lawrence and Mississippi River (Long River). The best areas in the future should be built on the shores of the Great Lakes.

The two feudal countries with sea estuaries occupy the essence of the east coast of the United States in later generations. Naturally, the territory does not have to be too large.

One of the countries has land in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. The city was built near later Philadelphia, which is close to the estuary of the Delaware River, and is a natural port. The Delaware River is an inland river with a very strong water transport capacity. The eastern and central United States is such a river! Even without railways, the logistics cost in this country is not much higher.

Another country owns the remaining land in the northeastern United States, plus the later Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. The capital is naturally at the mouth of the Hudson River, another inland river with excellent navigation capabilities, which is the location of New York in later generations.

Although the area of ​​these two countries is not large, they have good harbors and big rivers. The land is fertile and coal mine resources seem to be relatively rich. However, there are not many iron ore, but they can be purchased from nearby areas through trade, which does not constitute a bottleneck for development. Historically, the center of the United States' steel industry was in Pennsylvania?

In addition, historically, states such as Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky on the east coast of the United States should also establish an independent country. The coastline of this country is very long. Agricultural conditions are good, and Kentucky is rich in coal and iron.

In the later years, the territory on both sides of the Mississippi River should also be able to establish one country. The countries on the east bank of the Mississippi River should include Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. These territory are famous agricultural areas, and Georgia has few coal and iron resources in the southern United States, so it should be able to develop well.

Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri, west of the Mississippi River, will also establish a country. These three states are also agricultural states. With the Mississippi River, the transportation is very convenient. However, coal and iron resources are a bit scarce. In the future, the support of the Ming Empire may be needed to survive and develop in Beiming. Arranging one or two relatively weak countries among a group of countries that are likely to develop into a strong country is conducive to the Ming Empire's long-term influence on Beiming.

In addition, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and other places have built another country. This is also a country with a sufficient industrial and agricultural resources, including oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, iron, coal, etc. However, the development cost of coal and iron is relatively high. It cannot be compared with the Great Lakes region.

In Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, the central area of ​​the later American Empire, there will be another landlocked country. This country also has a complete range of industrial and agricultural resources. Although it does not have a seaport, it can connect the Mississippi River (Long River) through the Missouri River and then enter the North Maya Sea (Gulf of Mexico). The transportation is not inconvenient.

Finally, the later Canada's Quebec, Newfoundland, Labrador and other places, plus the vast territory covered by ice and snow in the northeast of Beimingzhou, are enough to support a great country. The capital can be established at the entrance of the St. Lawrence River.

In this way, the entire Beiming Prefecture will have five countries on the west coast, five countries on the Five Great Lakes, three countries on the North Maya Sea, one country in the central region, one country on the southeast coast, and one country on the northeast coast, a total of sixteen countries.

In addition, there will be a Governor-General Panama Canal built on the land of Panama in later generations. Of course, it will be excavated, but not now, but in the future. In Chen Dexing's plan, the Panama region in later generations should rely on this canal to develop into a prosperous commercial city, and it is best to become a financial and commercial center for Mingzhou in the north and south. By controlling Panama and deploying fleets in the Atlantic Ocean, the Ming Empire should be able to maintain strong interference in Mingzhou in the north and south and prevent the emergence of a unified power.

Thinking of this, Chen Dexing was slightly ecstatic and stopped talking to Li Cuixian anymore, but completely immersed himself in his mind. His wishful thinking was very good, but it was really difficult to implement. Sixteen Kingdoms, there must be sixteen sons to be the king, but now he only has four sons to be the king in Mingzhou, and there are still twelve, so he has to work hard!
