Chapter 1278

With a deep look at Shi Yayin, who was wearing a beautiful long golden flower embroidered jacket, Wufeng knew that this woman who had gradually separated from her husband's family had no less desire for wealth and power than her desire for lust. In the Shi family and Ting Xuexuan, she had already begun to play a huge role with her intimate relationship. Although she had been staying in Hanzhong, she maintained a very close contact with the Shi family and Ting Xuexuan in the imperial capital. The Shi family and Ting Xuexuan have almost never made a major decision to ask for this beautiful woman first.

"Yayin, I need to tell you a fact. Although the imperial territory under my control is vast, it is already the place where Tanghe merchants are involved. I do not mean that the domestic market in the empire has been developed and saturated, but there is a new discovery that there is a new continent overseas! A new continent that has never been discovered is still a piece of white paper, which contains infinite business opportunities, and it depends on whether anyone can seize it. If anyone can seize this opportunity, the rich products and huge needs on the new continent will bring unexpected huge wealth to this family." Wu Feng smiled slightly, and said to wake up the three women who were still a little confused, especially Shi Yayin, who seemed to be trying hard to figure out his intentions.

"New World?" Shi Yayin's mind immediately slammed, and immediately remembered a message he had seen accidentally a few days ago: "Wufeng, are you saying that the news published in "Imperial News" and "Kansai Times" a few days ago is true? People from the Western World have really discovered the New World? Is that true? But no one in the Empire believes this kind of absurd and bizarre statement. Over the past few hundred years ago, I have never heard of a continent in the south. Is this true? Is it true that some people mistakenly think it is a New World when they meet a larger island? Or have they seen a mirage?"

"Yayin also saw that news? Humph, that was the message I instructed to send. It seems that the people of our empire are still not very sensitive to this information. I have made newspapers and magazines in various places forward this news one after another, and also made subsequent reports, but not many people seem to realize the wealth and resources contained therein." Wufeng's face showed a bitter smile. The empire, from merchants to lower classes, seemed to love the land more, and seemed to have a natural sense of fear for the ocean. This also seriously restricted the prospect of the empire's expansion through the ocean. If we want to reverse this situation and change the people's concept, all other means are not as fast as real interests. Only when people feel that this outward exploration can obtain extremely rich rewards, their enthusiasm will be mobilized, overwhelmed the deep-rooted fear and resistance.

"Wufeng, are you sure this news is true?" Shi Yayin was carefully considering the value of the news, while guessing Wufeng's intention to tell him the news.

"Hmph, some countries in the Western Continent, including the Central Continent, have many expeditions and adventurers to the New Continent, and have achieved many gratifying results. According to the intelligence obtained by our intelligence department from the Western Continent, the products there are even more abundant than our continent, and many things we have never seen before are eye-opening. The various spices produced by the Principality of Meli, which is now known as the country of spices, are said to be found on that continent, and there are even some strange species. The emergence of these new species can even change the world we know. Think about it, if we can seize this opportunity, how much wealth will it bring to us?!"

Wu Feng deliberately exaggerated the information he had. The news sent back from the Western Continent confirmed that there was a huge land south of the Latin Ocean, and the climate was different from the Raya continent. It seemed to be the opposite. This was midsummer, but it became a little colder. When it was winter, it seemed to be hotter. One thing was clear, that is, there were indeed various spice plants growing on this continent, which were only on the east coast of the Aegean Sea centered on the Principal of Meli.

However, due to the harsh and changing climate of the sea directly south from the Latin Ocean, the expedition work has been slow. Over the years, expedition teams from various countries have arrived in this continent, but have never been able to establish a solid base on that road. It was not until nearly a year or two that someone discovered that if they go south along the southeast and southwest from both sides of the Latin Ocean, it is easier to avoid the frequent storms in the southern Latin Ocean, and they can also reach this continent. This has also greatly accelerated the exploration and discovery of the new continent by civil exploration groups from various countries. A large number of civil groups and chambers of commerce have begun to enter this expedition road and look for wealth opportunities that can be used.

Wu Feng, who had studied in the Western Continent, knew the keen sense of smell of those chambers of commerce merchants in the Western Continent. Once they found that a certain undertaking was profitable, they would immediately form a team to establish a joint-stock adventure company to explore, share risks and share benefits. This mechanism made the overseas adventure career of the Western Continent the first condemnation team for officials from various countries to expand outside the direction. Many islands on the Storm Ocean were first recognized as national territory after these expedition teams were discovered, and the expedition teams were given a heavy reward. This system also stimulated the desire of maritime expedition teams in various countries.

Wufeng has also been planning to introduce a national policy to encourage the people of the empire to explore and encourage maritime shipping. In his opinion, the endless east and south of the East and South Oceans will always be oceans? Since a new continent can be found in the south of the Latin Ocean, will there be no land in the east and south of the East and South Oceans? Even a few islands are good.

However, his current identity also limited his ideas for a while, but he had decided that once he ascended the throne, he would immediately promulgate such a policy to encourage external exploration. Before that, he hoped to use some other means to promote the development of this cause. The Shi family was just one of his chosen goals.

"Yayin, don't doubt the authenticity of this news, but the nature of our Tang people's caution and care has restricted our pioneering and enterprising ambitions. You three sisters are all my people, and Yafu still has my seed in her belly. Will I still deceive you? There is no doubt about the existence of the New World, and the rich products on that continent are also real. But what everyone still doesn't know now is how big that continent is. In addition to the only things we have learned, is there any other thing on it like our Laya continent?

There are other races or countries and cities like us? If so, what can they bring to us, what can we bring to them, can we become a place for our trade network? If not, what will it bring to us? Only when we really go to the ground can we know these problems. This is risky, but it contains huge wealth!" Wu Feng's words were full of sensational flavor, but everything he imagined did arouse great interest from the three Shi family, especially Shi Yayin.

"Wufeng, what you imagine is indeed quite attractive, but as you said, there is also a great risk hidden in the middle. Sea shipping adventure is not like land, with changing winds and clouds. In an instant, a large fleet of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people can be buried in the belly of fish. Heaven controls everything. Even though shipping technology is constantly improving now, there are still many unpredictable things for expanding to the outer sea. Our Tang people's cautious personality is certainly one reason, and another reason is probably the uncertain surname I just said. Of course, if someone has taken the first step in the New World, I am thinking that this idea is indeed worth a try. Do you want the Shi family to start this? I wonder if the Empire will provide any special support?"

At this time, Shi Yayin had no longer had the coquettish and slutty taste of the bed. The businessman's shrewdness and the courage of the people in the world were fully displayed to her at this time.

He held Shi Yayin with a voluntary hand beside him, reached out and raised her jaw, and smiled provocatively: "Haha, Yayin is really a good plan. If the Empire has the energy to participate, will Yayin give the money he earned to the Finance Department?"

"The Empire will not intervene in these private adventure affairs for the time being, but the Empire will soon introduce policies to encourage this aspect. I personally am optimistic about this kind of adventure. If the Shi family is interested, I think I can form a joint adventure company with the Shi family through my personal investment to participate in adventure activities in the New World. The benefits obtained are divided equally according to the shareholding ratio of our exploration company in the adventure company. How about it?"
