Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding 111th Festival between water and clouds (3)
Gu Ji's answer immediately caused considerable controversy among the group of people. The decline of the Tanghe Empire in recent years once made these passionate scholars feel depressed, but with the unification of Western Xinjiang, the soldiers The disciples all saw the hope of revival of the Tang clan. Xijiang has come to the front of the entire empire in these aspects. Although it has not done enough, it has already taken a good lead. Gu Ji's words are clearly intended to suppress King Qin His Highness's achievements made Wufeng's supporters a little bit upset, including Gu Hua.
"Brother, no matter what, His Royal Highness King Qin is far superior to any emperor of the Situ Dynasty in terms of foresight and foresight. Just look at how the Situ family has ruined our Tang family in the past hundred years? Liberian, Ma Qihan Humans, even the Japanese, are trying to suppress us. Is it tolerable or unbearable? The Tanghe Empire did ignore the sea power issue you just mentioned, but my younger brother sees His Royal Highness King Qin very seriously. It is said that His Royal Highness King Qin is already in A powerful navy has been built in the Southern Ocean, and a Naval Academy has also been established in East Samoa. Now part of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands, which originally belonged to the Nanyang Alliance, has been reclassified to us. This also fully proves that His Royal Highness King Qin attaches great importance to sea power. , We will be able to take back what the Japanese have taken from Situ Tai, and we will have to make the Japanese pay the price. I believe His Royal Highness King Qin will be able to do it once he takes over the world."
Gu Hua is obviously a little dissatisfied with his brother's continuous pouring of cold water. Although he has great respect for his brother, he will not back down in the debate on these points.
"The fourth brother Gu is right. I heard someone say that the Xijiang Government Affairs Bureau is also drafting a policy to encourage the development of sea shipping. The Tang Empire will introduce a series of preferential policies to encourage people to foreign trade and participate in foreign exploration and Exploration, this also proves that His Royal Highness Qin is also aware of the problems in our current situation. The ocean will play an increasingly important role in the rise and fall of an empire. His Royal Highness Qin can take precautions to bring the peninsula region into the rule of Western Xinjiang. This also fully proves His Royal Highness King Qin’s foresight, now the Great Nanyang Empire has obtained an excellent location to go to the sea. It has also obtained a strategic location on the Mawen Islands. The entire Great Nanyang has become an indispensable trade channel for our empire. Nanyang is like a pair of wings of our empire, which is enough to make great strides to drive the development of the empire's national strength in all aspects."
The man in the brown shirt who said this was a little older. Mentioning that His Royal Highness King Qin's fatally pale face was also full of admiration, and one could tell at a glance that he was also a loyal supporter of Wufeng. Ge Xingchang, originally from Cangzhou Prefecture, Yanyun County, was very talented in literature, and was an official of the Tanghe Empire Administration Department.”
"Our Eastern Continent generally doesn't pay much attention to maritime rights and interests. Even the Triple Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance only regard sea transportation as a relatively convenient and cheap trade channel. In fact, they don't pay much attention to things other than offshore. There are hundreds of islands like the Mawen Islands. The Nanyang Alliance has hardly been developed, except for a very small number of military uses, and the others are almost all abandoned. If such a situation is in the western mainland, it is simply unimaginable." Another person next to The young man sitting next to the mixed-race beauty also took up the conversation. It seems that this person also has some understanding of the situation in the Western Continent, and he speaks with confidence, "I traveled around the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea last year, especially The Aegean sea area. Those city-states and city republics attach so much importance to sea power that it is beyond imagination. Even if anyone dares to violate the ordinary merchant ship inspection right, it may trigger a war between the two countries. The Aegean Sea I don’t know how many battles every island has experienced, but in the Eastern Continent, hundreds of islands have been abandoned like this. How can such a huge disparity not make people feel heartbroken.”
Seeing Wufeng's eyes flickering, Gu Ji knew that Wufeng might be interested in this guy again, so he nodded slightly and said, "Cao Li, one of the eight sons of the imperial capital, used to work in the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, and then resigned Traveling around, it is said that he has also been to the Kingdom of Leeds on the Ocean of Storms, he is good at receiving people, and he is proficient in Lania and Tian dialect, he is a talent."
The debate on the issue of sea power immediately aroused great interest among the people gathered around the charcoal stove, especially Gu Hua's eloquent remarks on Xijiang's various policies of emphasizing sea power in the South China Sea Autonomous Dominion. The various measures adopted by the South China Sea Governor’s Mansion, such as encouraging the establishment of shipyards, increasing the size of the shipyard by injecting capital from the government, encouraging overseas trade, and rewarding ocean exploration and surveying and mapping, have aroused heated discussions among scholars. On the contrary, Gu Ji and Wufeng became two idlers, no one spoke to them.
"Gu Ji, it seems that your family, Gu Hua, is very interested in the situation in the peninsula region, and even knows the details of the local government's investment in various shipyards
Zhang, if he is not from your ancient family, I would almost doubt whether he is a Japanese or a spy of the Nanyang Alliance. "
"Hehe, Guhua has always been very interested in shipping. Most of our Gu family's industry is mainly land transportation, and we don't have much involvement in sea and river transportation. However, Ahua has always advocated that our Guji should invest in sea transportation. The development potential of sea transportation is huge, especially now that the upper peninsula region of the Greater Southern Ocean has been connected with the southern region of the empire, and the structure of sea-land combined transportation has been formed, which should have considerable prospects." Gu Ji said with a smile, but his tone was full of pride.
"Well, I can't see that your Guhua has a lot of vision in this area. Our empire's ocean trade has lagged behind other regions. Now the land transportation line in the peninsula is gradually improving, and the commercial trade with the Central and Western mainland is only It will become more and more frequent, and the three major ports in the peninsula region will play an important role. In the future, the trade between Wuhu, Sanjiang, Tiannan, Burma and the Central and Western Mainland will all pass through this route. Early investment should be able to obtain considerable benefits. "Wu Feng also responded with a smile, but his eyes fell on the mixed-race girl who had been paying attention to the two of them from the corner of her eye.
The mixed-race girl began to pay attention to Gu Ji and Wu Feng after they sat down, but she didn't pay attention to Gu Ji like the others, but kept observing Wu Feng, which made Wu Feng a little bit Surprised, it stands to reason that with Gu Ji's identity, he is just an accompanying guest and should not focus on himself, but this mixed-race girl is obsessed with paying attention to herself, which is indeed a bit strange.
"Mr. Tang, I heard that you are from Central China, and my hometown is also in Central China. I haven't been back for many years. Can Mr. Tang introduce the current situation in Central China?" She appeared as a businessman from Northern Luzon, and the mixed-race girl finally brought the topic to Wu Feng who had been sitting idle.
"Oh? Ms. Kumena is probably Indian? I have been to Indian a few times. I wonder which tribe Miss Kumena is from?" Wu Feng was also full of this mixed-race beauty. Interesting, this girl seems to be a mixture of the advantages of Caucasian and yellow race, and also has the beauty of the Indian race, the round face reveals a healthy and fresh breath, and the pitiful and beautiful Women are completely different styles of taste.
"My father is originally from the Yakuan tribe, and my mother is from the Western Continent." She smiled sweetly, her fluffy brown hair casually draped over her shoulders, indescribably pure and charming.
"Well, the Yakuan tribe, it seems that there is not much stability there now, it seems that there is a lot of trouble because of religious reasons, I haven't been there for a long time, I am more with Hyderabad and Punjabi Dealing with businessmen in India.” Although he has not set foot on Indian land since he left India, it does not mean that Wufeng does not know the situation in India. The intelligence department will send detailed information to Wufeng almost every week. Especially now that the situation in the Indian region is changing rapidly, even though it is on the way back to the imperial capital, Wufeng has not relaxed his attention to the situation in Indian.
"I heard that the Holy Spirit Cult from the Western Continent caused a lot of trouble in my hometown, the Yakuan tribe, because of missionary issues~IndoMTL.com~ I don't know if that's the case?"
The topic that the mixed-race girl is concerned about made Wufeng a little vigilant. The Yakuan tribe is now in trouble because of the missionary issue of the Holy Spirit Church. The people of the lower class did not have the awareness of the middle and upper class nobles, and still insisted on their original beliefs, and refused to bow to the Holy Spirit Cult. The resulting riots have spread throughout the entire region. For a time, blood flowed everywhere, and people's heads were rolling. The sharp conflict of beliefs has become an elegant The biggest crisis in the Kuan area. But even the people in the nearby areas are not very clear about this kind of thing, how can they be so clear about an ordinary woman far away from the Indian area, and how can they pay so much attention to it? Even if the origin is Indian, it is unlikely.
"Oh, it seems that there are some conflicts in this regard. The Holy Spirit believers in the western continent probably think that the Yakuan people have accepted their beliefs, and that the things believed by the Niye religion are outdated and should be abandoned, but it seems that in the On this issue, there seems to be a lot of disagreement among the Yakuans, and the Holy Spirit Church is backed by the support of the entire Western Continent. It seems that the Yakuans may have to accept the belief imposed on them by the Holy Spirit Church." Wu Feng Calmly testing the other party's reaction, he has already noticed that this woman seems to want to use this question to attract everyone's attention to this aspect, so he really wants to see what kind of medicine this mixed school girl is selling in her gourd.
