The sky gradually dimmed, and the lanterns in the gear were lit up one by one by one by the eunuchs, emitting dim colors.

Wang Xuan and Li San were excited by Xiao Ming's analysis, and Wang Xuan's face turned red, "What the emperor said was that most of the food and grass in Japan arrived in Goryeo by sea from the mainland of Japan. As long as the sea food route of Japan was cut off, the Japanese army in Goryeo would be trapped to death. The emperor wanted to establish a trading port in Goryeo, and he could use this to negotiate with Goryeo and Japan, so that he could make profits on both sides."

Xiao Ming smiled. For him, all he needed was Goryeo's market, and he had no interest in occupying Goryeo.

Because once it falls into a land war, the consumption of the war will be huge. Now that the industrialization of the six states has just begun, he does not have enough materials and money to occupy a country.

In fact, in the colonial wars during the Age of Navigation, no Western power completely occupied the colony.

In fact, they just set up a small number of ports in colonial countries, signed uneasy treaties, used these ports as export places for commodities, and then threatened colonial countries with force to formulate policies that were in their interests.

During their occupation, they generally do not interfere too much in the internal affairs of colonial countries, and will only support the powerful and powerful who represent their own interests to rule the colony.

Of course, there are exceptions in everything. For example, the funny man from India, Ah San, has completely become a British colony. However, even so, the United Kingdom does not participate in too specific national affairs. It just sucks the economic resources of this region back to the United Kingdom like blood sucking, and the country management is still too lazy to pay attention to it.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of colonization is to absorb economic benefits from colonized countries rather than occupation of land. Once the cause and effect are reversed, it may only be necessary to fall into the war quagmire of one country, which is enough to drag the country down.

The longer he stayed in the position of emperor, the more he could feel the limits of a country's power. It was already very difficult to project the power to the world, and it was even more difficult to occupy it in an all-round way. Therefore, he decided to first adopt British colonization and accumulate primitive capital. After all, nothing can be done without money.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Xuan: "It's still early. If you don't fight a war, neither Goryeo nor Japan will talk to the Great Yu Kingdom. If you let the secret guards in Goryeo focus on Goryeo's dynamics and send the information back at any time."

"Yes, the emperor." Wang Xuan nodded.

After telling the news about the Secret Guard, Xiao Ming continued to ask: "How are you investigating the incident of the Fearlessness being shelled?"

"Returning to the emperor, the subordinate officials sent back the intelligence on Nagasaki's eyeliner. On the second day after the USS Fearless was bombarded, a British warship arrived in Nagasaki, Japan. This British warship was said to be the Duke."

"Sure enough, I went to Japan." Xiao Ming looked at Japan on the map. Historical history was always surprisingly similar. Now Xiao Ming has deeply understood this.

In this time and space, Japan has established a powerful firearm unit with the help of the Dutch. Now the British have once again extended an olive branch to Japan, with only one purpose, which is to use Japan to balance the balance in East Asia.

"Have you heard about their specific cooperation?" Xiao Ming asked.

"No, the British went ashore and went directly to meet Nobunaga Yamada. We couldn't get it." Wang Xuan was a little regretful, but his eyes were often maritime merchants, so they could not go deep into the top management.

"Your Secret Guards need to increase their investment in Japan, and even establish a professional work. You can even let some Japanese people act as work through bribery." Xiao Ming reminded.

In contemporary times, Japan is very good at spy wars. During each war, Japan will always send a large number of spies to collect intelligence.

It is said that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese maps were even more detailed than the ** map.

From modern times, Xiao Ming naturally could not throw this advantage to Japan, so he had to start a spy war in advance and collect all-round Japanese intelligence.

Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed, and he said: "The emperor, the official also thought, it was just this money..."

Xiao Ming was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. Although he had a lot of thoughts, he still couldn't do it without sufficient money.

Thinking of this, he became more and more determined to build industry and colonize the world.

After coughing, he said to Wang Xuan: "I will try my best to allocate some silver for you."

Only then did Wang Xuan show a look of joy.

After giving Wang Xuan a reassurance, Xiao Ming looked at Li San and said, "Li San, this reform will be implemented soon. You, I will keep an eye on the giants in Qingzhou. If they do anything, you report to me immediately."

"Yes, the emperor." Li San nodded.

After reporting the information, the two congratulated Xiao Ming again before going back. Now the story of the queen giving birth to a dragon son has spread throughout Qingzhou City.

At this moment, officials and merchants from all over Qingzhou kept sending people to congratulate him, and gifts were delivered to the main hall one by one.

After a busy day, Xiao Ming was a little tired. It was getting late now. He returned to the bedroom. Fei Yue'er was a little weak now, so he wanted to spend more time with her.

After resting for a night, Xiao Ming got up early the next day, and the reform was carried out by Fiji and Pang Yukun, and his task was to promote the establishment of the industrial system and the development of science and technology.

For him, both military technology and civil technology are now in the development of Qingzhou, because everything in the past five years is just a military service, which has led to the gradual decline in the development of industrial capabilities.

For example, although Lu Tong mastered the production method of this smokeless gunpowder, this production is still only in the laboratory production method, and real industrial production cannot be achieved.

In addition to this smokeless gunpowder, many chemicals in the laboratory are now unable to be mass-produced. This time, Xiao Ming's reform is to establish corresponding workshops one by one to achieve industrial production under steam power.

This not only includes the production of chemical materials, but also the industrialization of firearms and machinery. For him, the industrialization of the Great Yu Kingdom has lagged behind, and now is a critical period to catch up.

After all, the West has also developed steam engines. With the industrial foundation of Western countries, once the steam engine is transported and installed, the speed will be very fast.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Ming changed into a casual outfit and went to the glass workshop. While reforming, he listed a list of current technology in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This list is currently available in Western countries but not in the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Now Lin Wentao and others are so busy that they are not stuck in the ground. For some things, the emperor can only take action personally, and he is also good at this.

The first place he went to today was a glass workshop. A few days ago, he told the glass workshop to produce tools, and now it should be manufactured.
Chapter completed!
