In fact, Wufeng has been considering overseas expansion and exploration for a long time. The New World was discovered by powerful countries in the Chinese and Western continents and began to enter, which has already made Wufeng, who has not yet obtained the throne, feel a little pressure. The Laya continent can be said to have been almost divided up by powerful forces from all sides. If you want to reshuffle the current pattern, you must not only have strong strength, but also have to pay a considerable price. The situation in the New World is completely different. At least until all parties have not yet understood the real situation of the New World, all parties will not be because of

This thing that seems a bit illusory is directly facing each other. Even if there is competition in it, it is more reflected in non-martial conflicts. Once the real interests contained in the New World gradually emerge, countries will inevitably increase their efforts to enter the undeveloped continent, and the competition for land and rights of the New World is inevitable. Later generations have lost their advantages in terms of morality and initiative, especially in geographical location, the empire even has a disadvantage, which Wufeng would never want to see.

Now, the empire that has not yet been established is devoted to planning this far-off new continent. Not to mention that it is difficult to obtain the support of its subordinates, Wufeng himself also feels it is a bit unrealistic. Many affairs before him are one after another, and there are many places to spend. In addition to encouraging the navy, which is hardly trained in the shore of the South Ocean, to try to explore westwards and prepare for the later entry, Wufeng could not think of a better way to advance this work process that seems not urgent but is really backward but difficult to catch up.

Using folk power seems to be a good idea, but the Tang people's idea of ​​not paying attention to maritime rights and interests has been deeply rooted. If you want to turn it around, you can only lure them to benefit and let them see rewards. However, it is quite difficult to start. After all, this is a precedent that has never been seen before. However, with Wufeng's full force, this head finally took the first step. As the first part was named, the wheel seemed to slowly rotate, and it became faster and faster.

Before urging the three Shi family sisters to jointly invest in the establishment of an adventure company, Wufeng had already tried several rounds of activations. The first one Wufeng found was the Wenjia Jiangnan. The Wenjia had the advantages of the Jiangnan Shipyard and the Wenjia family's broad vision of the Cultural Revolution. Wufeng's first thought of the Wenjia was the Wenjia, and the Wenjia's strong financial foundation and strong sense of business were also the main reasons why Wufeng chose them.

Wufeng's choice did not disappoint him. After presenting a series of intelligence information obtained from the Western Continent, after a long talk, the Cultural Revolution and Wufeng almost hit it off. Wufeng also symbolically invested 500,000 gold coins as a shareholding, while Wen family invested 9.5 million imperial gold coins as stocks to establish the so-called Far East Shipping Trade Development Bank. Wen family also promised to invest another five million imperial gold coins in the next two years to build ships and develop adventures, which was also highly praised by Wufeng. The Far East Shipping Trade Development Bank was one of the most famous colonial companies in the empire in the future, the prototype of the Far East Company.

According to the idea of ​​Wufeng and the Cultural Revolution, the Far East Shipping Trade Development Bank was established almost overnight and ordered eleven ocean expedition ships from Jiangnan Shipyard and Southeast Shipyard as special vessels for commercial banks. These ships are not very large, but have good wind resistance and the hull has been specially designed and processed, especially solid. The design of the sail also borrowed some technologies obtained by the intelligence department from the Western Continent. Wufeng even specifically asked the Military Affairs Office to agree that this batch of ocean expedition ships could be used only on military ships.

The technology of multi-mast and multi-angle sails is to enhance the adaptability of this group of ocean expedition ships to the sea. According to the plan agreed by both sides, the expedition ships should complete trial voyages by February 700 at the latest, and should start sailing in two months to fulfill its true mission. Among the eleven ships, five are used to explore New World routes to the west, and the remaining six are heading east and south respectively to find land and islands that have not been discovered. Each ship will be equipped with two military service surveyors to survey and map the sea charts according to Wufeng.

After the establishment of the joint-stock company with Wenjia, Wufeng was not satisfied. More than a dozen expedition ships were too insignificant for a huge empire. If you want to find new land and wealth, this investment and effort could not be achieved. The exploration groups and trading companies in the Western Continent paid a lot to find the new continent to find the new continent. If the new empire wanted to open up another world, it would also take a lot.

In the following days, Wufeng summoned the two Zhan Wei families, who had already firmly led the business community of Northwest County, and helped the two Zhan Wei families and the three imperial capital Gu family jointly invested 10 million imperial gold coins. In addition, he invested 500,000 imperial gold coins by privately investing 500,000 imperial gold coins. The Nanhai Autonomous Dominion Sanbao Port was registered as the registered residence, and the company later became a very famous reclamation company that could be established with the Far East Company. Immediately afterwards, Wufeng urged the elders of Gaoyue tribes, some nobles of Mott, and chief Sex.

Takra, Duke of Baliya Mutu, and his five parties each invested 500,000 imperial gold coins, totaling 2.5 million imperial gold coins. He and the Giggs family of the East Samoa city-state invested 2.5 million imperial gold coins to form the East Samoa Trade Development Company, developed the South China Sea Autonomous Territory route to the New World, and participated in the development of the New World. This company later became a well-known development company in the Empire. Not only did it achieve great success in its operations in the New World, but it also almost took over the business of transporting Japanese prisoners of war to the New World as plantation slaves.

That's it, Wufeng still refused to give up. After discussing with his confidants, he quickly convinced the women with his unique vision and ability to bloom lotus flowers. He and Angel each invested 200,000 yuan, let the three sisters of Li each invest 100,000 yuan, Hua Yumei each invested 200,000 yuan, Guan Yingying and Lu Xianxian each invested 50,000 yuan, and gathered 1 million gold coins. They joined forces with the Gray family in East Samoa to invest 4 million imperial gold coins to form the famous Southern Shipping Company to develop New World routes, specializing in routes from New World to East Samoa, Moro, Sanbao and Princesa. This is also new

The Empire is an unprecedented innovation. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, the Empress and the Concubine and others jointly invested in forming a profit-making company with merchants to make money. This was also recorded forever in history as a behind-the-scenes of the Emperor of the Empire. Stimulated by Wufeng's action, Princess Anne even took the initiative to invite the two daughters of Hariqinna and Doji. Princess Anne raised 800,000 yuan, Hariqinna raised 150,000 yuan, and Doji invested 50,000 yuan, totaling one million yuan. She forced the Gray family to reduce their holdings in their own family shares, which also made Wufeng laugh and cry.

All these overseas expansion companies have to undertake an important task without exception, that is, they must record and draw detailed records and routes learned about the exploration and development, and hand them over to the Military Affairs Office and the Intelligence Department. The Military Affairs Office and the Intelligence Department will give certain rewards. If this principle is violated, the company will be severely punished or even closed down by the Empire.

As for the investment of the Shi family, it was just a small investment that Wufeng made. Even if the Shi family invested as agreed, it could only raise one million imperial gold coins. It was a drizzle compared to the previous major investments of Wufeng. However, it was a great shock to the entire martial arts world, which was enough to attract these people to focus their attention here. Wufeng was interested in the people in the martial arts world with different abilities from ordinary people. If these people could find a suitable place to settle in the New World and take root, no matter which country or force wanted to subdue or conquer them, they would face a fierce counterattack. Except for the empire, they would go on the right track step by step from the private to the official, which was the goal that Wufeng hoped to achieve. And this was just a small example of Wufeng's intentional advancement in overseas exploration and development.

Although Wufeng and many industrial and commercial families and Wulin families jointly invested in the development of overseas business paths, Wufeng did not deliberately conceal it. He originally intended to take this opportunity to set off a frenzy of expanding industry and commerce overseas with the focus on the New World. Under the publicity of those who are interested, the statement that His Highness the King of Qin believed that expanding industry and commerce overseas could obtain huge benefits spread and immediately spread throughout the empire. From the Luobei nobles to the gentry of Guanxi, from the Beiyuan landlords and the Heshuo Wulin family to the East China Sea industrial and commercial wealthy, almost everyone learned this secret that was almost not a secret. That is, since His Highness the King of Qin was so interested in this investment, what would it mean? It would definitely be an extremely generous return!

This domino effect quickly exerted great power. Following the trend was originally a habit of the Tang people, especially authoritative statements often attract many people. Although Wufeng avoided answering or vaguely speaking when asked by the media many times, it was undoubtedly true that he had never denied whether he had participated in investment in these aspects, which also increased everyone's interest. The more this happened, the more it meant that it was profitable.
