It can be said that Wufeng's strategy was quite successful. He cleverly used people's convergence psychology and his prestige to give those gentry landlords and business prominences who had felt that the empire was about to usher in a new century, implying that investment and exploration and development would obtain unpredictable benefits. This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for land nobles who already felt that the industrial and commercial aristocrats might gradually replace them as the empire's upstarts with their economic strength. Even His Highness, who was about to ascend the throne, was willing to invest. What is there to doubt? As long as they could obtain generous benefits, would they have economic strength and noble origins be inferior to those industrial and commercial nobles whose ancestors and even small vendors?

It was this psychology that caused the land nobles in the entire empire to flock to this kind of venture capital, so that Wufeng had to instruct relevant departments to remind these blindly obedient land nobles of the huge risks in these investments, but this could not stop the investment enthusiasm of the land nobles. However, these land nobles obviously took the right treasure and all obtained quite generous returns from it. When they looked at the industrial and commercial nobles with contempt with success and fame, they completely forgot that they had actually completed their transformation and became one of them.

Even Wufeng himself did not realize how far-reaching the trend he took the lead would be for the future of the new empire. With waves of pioneers who became rich and returned home in glory, almost the upper class of the empire were immersed in this dream of making money.

The famous saying "There is a new continent overseas" has once become the most popular and fashionable discourse in the entire empire society. Going to the new continent has also become the best place for many poor people to find another way out. The proletariat seized the opportunity to brag about how rich land and gold the new continent would be waiting for them. This also created a new round of immigration frenzy, even much more in the morning than when the new empire later promulgated the "Imperial Encouragement Regulations" and the "Imperial Migration Law".

The wave of external colonization driven by this interest quickly penetrated into the depths of the people's thoughts of the people in the empire and inspired the spirit of the people in the empire to pursue exploration from the outside. This goal is also what Wufeng hopes to achieve most. Only in this way can the empire and the Tang people maintain the momentum of continuous development. If this momentum is lost, the Tang people and their own empire are just passing clouds and will eventually be obscured in the tide of history.

Waving his hand, Wang Liao sat down beside him. Wu Feng picked up a large stack of thick documents on the desk and handed them to his deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office, signaling the other party to take a rough look at the information first. Wang Liao took Wu Feng's copy and browsed it. There was a faint smell of coffee in the study, and the snow-white sugar cube plate was placed on several tables, a small spoon of exquisite sterling silver was placed on it, and a pot of yucca bamboo was placed on one side to bring some greenness.

Wufeng felt it was a little interesting. Wang Liao was like a hyena who smelled the smell of blood. His eyes were swam up and down, and he licked his dry lips from time to time. His excitement was beyond words. Only when he found the prey, the negotiating master, would he have such an expression, and now it is true.

Wufeng waited patiently for Wang Liao to finish reading it, calmly picked up the coffee cup and signaled the other party to try these new products from Zhongnan County. The taste was quite good and he had the strength to compete with the coffee in Northern Luzon. At least Wufeng himself did not taste much different from the famous products in Northern Luzon. Perhaps it was only the difference in brand reputation.

It seems that it is a wise choice to change Jin Ning from the position of Director of Intelligence to serve as the governor of Zhongnan County. His too square psychology is not suitable for the intelligence department. This position of managing local administrative affairs is obviously more suitable for him. The Government Affairs Office also praised Jin Ning's performance in Zhongnan County, especially in the original Medan area, the development has changed greatly. The road from Yada City to Moro is progressing very quickly. This is the lifeline that determines the future of Zhongnan County. It is said that Jin Ning has to go to the construction site almost a month to supervise the construction of this road. Maybe he should take time to inspect it.

Wang Liao's somewhat excited voice pulled Wufeng back from his distraction: "Your Highness, it's great. This is delivered to the Nanyang Alliance itself. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to slaughter them, that's really sorry for their 'kindness'."

"Well, look carefully. These intelligence information is not easy. The intelligence department has spent a lot of effort to obtain these things. It seems that the guys from the Nanyang Alliance are really ignorant of life. The last lesson seems that they have not tasted the pain. They need to whip them harder to make them have a long memory." Wufeng smiled faintly, and he was also full of joy when he saw Wang Liao's anxious and anxious heart.

"Hehe, Your Highness, there is no problem. This evidence is enough to make the South China Sea Alliance speechless. The last time it was the guys from the north of the South China Sea Alliance that supported the Maqikhans, but this time it was the merchants from the South China Sea Alliance that were in love with Situ Tai. Well, there are Japanese people in the middle to make a bridge. It's really great. Let's not mention the Japanese for now, but the city-states in the South China Sea Alliance that must make them sober this time. Who is the real boss on this land?" Wang Liao said confidently.

"Well, although these loans were carried out by merchants and banks of the Nanyang Alliance, if there were no instructing or agreeing to the Nanyang Alliance countries and city-states, they would not dare to be so bold. However, they did not expect Situ Tai to collapse so quickly that they had no way to get rid of it. You must pay attention to grasping this point and never let the Nanyang Alliance countries and city-states official escape." Wu Feng nodded and reminded Wang Liao.

"Don't worry, your highness, these merchants are all members of the parliamentary and government officials of their countries and city-states. Hehe, there are two other members of the alliance. These two banks are also invested by some big-name people in their alliance. This is not something we can hide from. If we want to escape, we will not have any door! If we don't squeeze them out this time, it would be a waste of this opportunity." Wang Liao said viciously: "Last time, because it was the northern forces of the South China League, the southern city-state and the country still opposed it. Now it's their turn. I want to see what they say this time."

"Well, you can consider the specific methods and conditions. However, the diplomatic envoys of the Three Kingdoms Alliance have arrived. I remember that the last time the foreign affairs department had discussed with them about the sovereignty dispute in the Maven Islands? They seemed to be very interested. This time it should be a good opportunity to put pressure on the Nanyang Alliance in uniting with the Three Kingdoms Alliance. The Maven Islands are large enough and big enough, and it is okay to give them a piece of pie, as long as we control the important places and make it convenient."

The white teeth that Wufeng smiled and showed looked a little ferocious in Wang Liao's eyes. He had just considered whether he should put some effort into the Mawen Islands. His Highness King of Qin pointed out that this time the target of diplomatic blackmail was directly aimed at the Mawen Islands, and he also invited the Three Kingdoms Alliance to put pressure on the other side. It seems that His Highness King of Qin had already seen this point for a long time. Maybe Situ Tai's every move when he borrowed from the merchants of the South China Alliance had already fallen into the eyes of Xijiang. The reason why he did not react at the beginning was probably to wait for today's arrival.

"Well, the time of the Three Kingdoms Alliance has arrived in Hanzhong, and Lord Su has met them, but they probably don't know about this matter. It will take some time to get the approval of their respective countries. Moreover, we may also need to show some performance in the peninsula area, especially the military, to be able to better cooperate with our work. The Nanyang Alliance has always bullied the weak and feared the strong, and the combination of force and diplomatic means is the best strategy." Wang Liao further suggested.

"I have my own arrangements in the military, but you have to grasp a degree. We have no intention of fighting a war in the Nanyang Alliance. At least I have not had this idea for the period before and after the imperial capital. However, you must make the Nanyang Alliance feel that we are looking for excuses to fight this war. If our conditions cannot be met, this battle may break out, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance may also join in. Only in this way can we force the Nanyang Alliance to make more concessions, and of course we cannot perform too much. If the Nanyang Alliance thinks that there is no need for negotiation, it is not in our interest."

After Wufeng said this, he realized that he was a little verbose. Faced with such a veteran diplomatic negotiation, wasn’t this guy who got the acquisition of the three islands of the Mawen Islands back after playing a full play? He still needs to explain it himself? Wufeng couldn’t help laughing when he said this.

"I've said too much, just grasp Wang Liao. One principle is to obtain as much interests as possible from the Maven Islands. You should be clear about my goal at this point. The South China League still attaches little importance to the Maven Islands. This is a rare opportunity for us. Once the New World is developed in the future, they will find that all the waterways in front of them are firmly controlled in our hands." Wu Feng waved his hand to conclusion.

Wang Liao bowed silently and retreated.
