Gu Ji's answer immediately aroused considerable controversy among a group of people. The decline of the Tanghe Empire in recent years once made these passionate scholars extremely depressed. However, with the unification of Western Xinjiang, the scholars were once again They all see the hope of the rejuvenation of the Tang people. Xijiang has already reached the front of the entire empire in these aspects. Although it has not done enough, it has taken a good start. Gu Ji's words are clearly intended to suppress the achievements of His Highness the King of Qin. , which made all Wufeng's supporters a little unhappy, including Gu Hua.
"Brother, no matter what, His Highness the King of Qin is far better than any emperor in the Situ Dynasty in terms of foresight and sagacity. Look at what the Situ family has done to our Tang clan in the past hundred years? The Liberians, the Machikhans, and even Even the Japanese want to suppress us, which is unbearable? Brother, the issue of sea power you just mentioned was indeed ignored by the Tanghe Empire, but I see that His Highness the King of Qin attaches great importance to it. It is said that His Highness the King of Qin is already on the Southern Ocean Build a powerful navy, and also established a naval academy in East Samoa. Now part of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands that originally belonged to the Nanyang Alliance has been reclassified to us. This fully proves that His Highness the King of Qin attaches great importance to sea power. The Japanese have since We will definitely be able to take back what was taken from Situ Tai, and we will have to make the Japanese pay the price. I believe His Highness King Qin will be able to do it once he rules the world."
Gu Hua was obviously dissatisfied with his brother's repeated cold water. Although he had great respect for his brother, he would not give in at all in the debate on these views.
"Fourth brother Gu is right. I heard someone said that the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Bureau is also drafting a policy to encourage the development of overseas shipping. The Tang Empire will issue a series of preferential policies to encourage people to engage in foreign trade and participate in foreign exploration and exploration. This It also proves that His Highness the King of Qin is also aware of the problems existing in our current situation. The ocean will play an increasingly important role in the rise and fall of an empire. His Highness the King of Qin was able to plan ahead and incorporate the peninsula into the rule of Western Xinjiang. This also fully proves His Highness the King of Qin’s Looking far ahead, the Empire of the Atlantic Ocean now has an excellent outlet to the sea. It has also gained a strategic location on the Mawen Islands. The entire Atlantic Ocean has become an indispensable trade channel for our empire. The Atlantic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are like ours. A pair of wings of the empire is enough to take great strides and drive the empire's national strength in all aspects to move forward significantly."
The man in brown shirt who said this was slightly older. Speaking of His Highness the King of Qin, Fatal Qingjiu's face was full of reverence. One glance showed that he was also a loyal supporter of Wu Feng. Seeing that Wu Feng paid great attention to this person, Gu Ji quietly tilted his head and whispered: "One of the eight sons of the Imperial Capital." Ge Xingchang, originally from Cangzhou Prefecture, Yanyun County, was very talented in literature and was formerly an official in the Administrative Office of the Tanghe Empire."
"We in the Eastern Continent generally don't pay much attention to maritime rights and interests. Even the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance only use sea shipping as a more convenient and cheaper trade channel. In fact, they don't pay attention to things outside the offshore sea. Like Ma Wen There are hundreds of islands in the archipelago. However, the Nanyang Alliance has almost no development. Except for a few used for military purposes, almost all others are abandoned. Such a situation would be unimaginable in the Western Continent." Another mixed-race beauty was next to him. The young man sitting there also took up the conversation. It seemed that this man also had some understanding of some situations in the Western Continent, and he spoke very confidently, "I traveled in the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea last year, especially in the Aegean Sea. . Those city-states and city republics attach great importance to sea rights beyond imagination. Even if it is an ordinary merchant ship inspection right, if anyone dares to violate it, it may trigger a war between the two countries. Every island in the Aegean Sea I don’t know how many times we have gone through repeated battles, but in the Eastern Continent, hundreds of islands have been abandoned in vain. How can such a huge disparity not make people feel heartbroken.”
Seeing Wu Feng's eyes flashing, Gu Ji knew that Wu Feng was probably interested in this guy again. Fu'er nodded slightly and said: "Cao Li, one of the eight sons of the Imperial City, once served in the Imperial Foreign Affairs Office, and later resigned and traveled around. It is said that he has also visited the Kingdom of Leeds on the Ocean of Storms. He is good at welcoming people and is proficient in Ranian and Tianfang languages. He is a talented person."
The debate on the issue of sea rights immediately aroused great interest among the people gathered around the charcoal stove. In particular, Gu Hua spoke vividly about the various policies of Western Xinjiang in the South China Sea Autonomous Region that valued sea rights and land. From the South China Sea Governor's Mansion Talking about the various measures taken to encourage the establishment of shipyards, and the government's investment in shipyards to expand their scale, encourage overseas trade, and reward ocean exploration and mapping, all this aroused heated discussions among a group of scholars. On the contrary, it was Gu Ji and Wu Feng who There were two idle people, and no one talked to them.
"Gu Ji, it seems that your Gu Hua is very interested in the situation in the peninsula. He even knows the details of the local government's investment in various shipyards.
Palm, if he was not from your Gu family, I would almost doubt whether he was a Japanese or a spy from the Nanyang Alliance. "
"Haha, Guhua has always been very interested in shipping. Most of our Gu family's industries are based on land transportation, and we are not involved in sea and river transportation. However, Ahua has always advocated that our Guji should invest in maritime transportation and believes that the development of sea transportation in the Eastern Continent The potential is huge, especially now that the Upper Peninsula of the Southern Ocean has been connected to the southern part of the empire, and the sea-land transport structure has been formed, there should be considerable prospects." Gu Ji said with a smile, but there was a lot of pride in his tone.
"Well, I don't see that your Guhua family is quite visionary in this regard. Our empire originally lagged behind other regions in maritime trade. Now the land transportation lines in the peninsula are gradually improving, and the commercial and trade exchanges with the central and western continents will only increase. The more frequent it is, the three major ports in the peninsula will play an important role. In the future, trade between Wuhu, Sanjiang, Tiannan, Burma and the Central and Western Continent will pass through this route. Early investment should be able to achieve considerable benefits." Wu Feng He responded with a smile, but his eyes fell on the mixed-race girl who had been paying attention to the two of them with his peripheral vision.
The mixed-race girl began to pay attention to Gu Ji and Wu Feng after they sat down. However, she did not focus on Gu Ji like others, but kept observing Wu Feng. This made Wu Feng a little surprised. Logically speaking, He said that as Gu Ji, he was just a companion and should not focus on himself, but this mixed-race girl was persistently paying attention to him, which was indeed a bit strange.
"Mr. Tang, I heard that you are from the Central Continent. My hometown is also in the Central Continent. I have not been back for many years. I wonder if Mr. Tang can introduce the current situation in the Central Continent?" Wu Feng is from the north. The businessman from Luzon appeared, and the mixed-race girl finally brought the topic to Wu Feng, who had been sitting idle.
"Oh? Miss Kumena is probably an Indian, right? I have been to India several times. I wonder which tribe Miss Kumena is from?" Wu Feng was also very interested in this mixed-race beauty. The girl seems to have mixed the advantages of white and yellow people, and also has the beauty of the Indian race. Her round face reveals a healthy and fresh atmosphere, which is completely the same as the pitiful and beautiful woman next to her. Two different styles of flavour.
"My father is originally from the Yaku'an tribe, and my mother is from the Western Continent." She smiled sweetly, her fluffy brown hair hanging casually on her shoulders, looking indescribably pure and charming.
"Well, the Yakuan tribe seems not very stable there now. It seems that there is a lot of trouble there due to religious reasons. I haven't been there for a long time. I mostly talk to the businessmen from Hyderabad and Panja tribe. Dealing with each other." Although he has never set foot on Indian soil since he left India, it does not mean that Wu Feng does not understand the situation in India. The intelligence department will regularly send detailed information to Wu Feng almost every week. Especially now that the situation in India is changing rapidly, Wu Feng did not relax his attention to the situation in India even on the way back to the imperial capital.
"I heard that the Holy Spirit Cult from the Western Continent caused a lot of trouble in my hometown, the Yakuan tribe, because of the missionary issue. I wonder if that's the case?"
The topic that the mixed-race girl paid attention to made Wu Feng a little wary. The Yacuan tribe is currently in a quarrel over the Holy Spirit Church's missionary issue. The middle and upper-class Yacuan people have gradually accepted the baptism of the Holy Spirit Church and converted to the Holy Spirit Church, but the lower class people have Without the consciousness of the middle- and upper-class nobles, they still persisted in their original beliefs and refused to bow to the Holy Spirit Religion. The resulting riots have spread throughout the entire region. For a time, blood flowed everywhere, heads were rolling, and sharp conflicts of faith have become a phenomenon in the Yakuan region. The biggest crisis. But even the people in nearby areas are not very clear about this kind of thing. How can they be so aware of and pay such attention to an ordinary woman far away from India? Even if his origin is Indian, it is unlikely.
"Oh, there seems to be some conflict in this regard. The Holy Spirit believers in the Western Continent probably think that the Yakuans have changed to accept their beliefs, and think that the things believed in by Niyeism are outdated and should be abandoned. But it seems that on this issue , there seem to be great differences within the Yakuans, and the Holy Spirit Cult is supported by the entire Western Continent. It seems that the Yakuans may have to accept the beliefs imposed on them by the Holy Spirit Cult." Wu Feng remained calm. Testing the other party's reaction, he had noticed that this woman seemed to want to use this question to draw attention to this aspect, so he wanted to see what kind of medicine this mixed-school girl was selling.
