The spring morning is sunny, Li Zhang is eating breakfast while reading today's morning newspaper, the children of the family have already eaten and gone to the school in the front yard to study, Li Zhang in order to spread the knowledge he brought from the future, so he set up a special school at home, at first mainly to teach the children of the family to read, and later some relatives and friends of the children were also sent in, after all, they all know Li Zhang's ability.

At the beginning, Li Zhang also went to teach children in person, but then he was too busy, so he personally compiled a few textbooks, and hired a few young readers to teach students according to the textbooks, anyway, they are very basic things, which may be a little difficult for children, but for adults, as long as they are willing to learn, it will not take much time to learn.

"The navy will open up a military port in Gantuoli Harbor, and all the islands in the South Sea will be under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty!" At this moment, Li Zhang couldn't help but read out a headline in the newspaper with a smile on his face.

Some time ago, Zhao Zhen asked Li Zhang, about some Song people occupied a lot of islands when they were overseas, this is actually normal, after all, some Song people who went to sea found that a certain island had economic value, so they naturally wanted to occupy it, but this also caused a problem, that is, these islands did not belong to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and Zhao Zhen was worried that these people would occupy the island as the king in the future, so as to get out of the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this case, Li Zhang also suggested that Zhao Zhen formally incorporate the port of Gantuoli into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, although Dong Qing and they had conquered this port, they ruled there in the name of a private person, strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with the Great Song court, especially the Buddha Kingdom was still a nominal subject of the Great Song Dynasty, so it was even more inconvenient for the Great Song Dynasty to directly occupy the territory of Nanyang before.

But now there is no concern, after all, the development of Nanyang in the Great Song Dynasty has long been well known, no matter how much it is useless to hide it, and there are more and more Song people who go to Nanyang, they must be included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in addition, the Buddha died Kingdom also attacked the Song people's sea ships before, which made the Great Song Dynasty also find an excuse to send troops, and now the Great Song Dynasty's navy has set off from the original Li Dynasty's Red River estuary, it is estimated that it will not be long before the news of the demise of the Buddha Kingdom will be heard.

"'All under the heavens are kings' lands, and within the four seas are kings.' This sentence is so well written! When Li Zhang saw the last sentence of the article, he couldn't help but praise it, this sentence from the "Book of Songs" also gave the overseas territory of the Great Song Dynasty a legal guarantee, after all, the land under the whole world belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and it only depends on whether the Great Song Dynasty will send troops to occupy it.

However, the Great Song Dynasty occupied the port of Ganduri, and sent troops to destroy the Buddha Kingdom is only the first step, and then it is necessary to strengthen the rule of the imperial court in the South Seas, but there are so many islands in the South Seas, and the Great Song Dynasty cannot send so many officials at all, so the Great Song Dynasty is still very loose in the management of the islands in the South Seas, and the latest regulations are that after the merchants take the islands, they must register with the imperial court, and pay a fee according to the production of the islands, only in this way can the island be officially owned by the founder, and the nominal Shanghai Island has also become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

This article seems to be taken advantage of by the imperial court, after all, the people who occupy the island need to register with the imperial court, and they also have to pay a smile money, and even pay taxes on the output of the island in the future, but in fact, those maritime merchants did not suffer a loss, because after these islands became the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they were protected by the Great Song Dynasty, and the Nanyang side was not very peaceful, not only there were ferocious natives, but also all kinds of fierce beasts, they could only rely on themselves before, but now they can use the power of the imperial court to clean up the danger on the island.

In fact, when Li Zhang saw this article, he couldn't help but be a little moved, although he participated in maritime trade before, but mainly in business, and had no intention of occupying the island, but now seeing this move of the imperial court, he can't help but want to occupy a few small islands overseas to have fun, anyway, the cost is not much, even if he doesn't need it himself, he can leave it to future generations in the future.

"Husband, don't patronize and read the newspaper, breakfast is almost cold!" Just as Li Zhang was thinking about where to occupy the island, he was suddenly taken away by Aoori from the newspaper in his hand, and then pointed to the breakfast in front of him, where he had only eaten a few bites.

Li Zhang also came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly responded: "I was too absorbed in thinking about something just now, I'll finish eating!" ”

Li Zhang swallowed breakfast in a few bites, and then said in a consultative tone: "The imperial court wants to include the islands in the South Seas into the territory, ordinary people only need to find the island and register it with the imperial court, and pay a sum of money to own an island, Qingori, do you want to occupy a few islands?" ”

Things at home are generally worried about by Qingzhi, so Li Zhang will discuss it with her, and Qingzhi also showed an interested expression after hearing this, and then asked some details, and Li Zhang also answered them one by one.

"Such a good opportunity can't be missed, there are still a lot of good things on the island over there, if you can find gold or gem mines on the island, it will be a windfall, even if you don't have these windfalls, the land on the South Sea side is not bad, and it is perfect for growing rice!" Aoori immediately clapped his head.

As soon as Qingzhi's words fell, I suddenly saw a maid hurriedly come to report: "Mrs. Qiyu, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li and others are coming to visit!" ”

Hearing the ladies coming early in the morning, Qingori immediately guessed the intentions of these people, and smiled at Li Zhang: "It seems that not only the husband has discovered this opportunity, but several other families have also discovered it, but this is also good, there are many people and great power, and several families will definitely be able to occupy more islands together, so don't feel distressed by the imperial court!" ”

Li Zhang also knew that these ladies who came were all nobles who had cooperated with him in the sea trade before, which made him laugh and said: "Qingzhi, don't worry, there are too many islands in the Nanyang, and if you rely on the imperial court to develop them, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, but if you can use the power of the whole country, it will be much faster, and the imperial court only has the right to rule over the land, and the imperial court does not care about the ownership of the islands and economic matters." ”

"Then I'll rest assured, I'll go and discuss it with a few ladies, and there should be a result soon!" Qingori also smiled with satisfaction when she heard this, and then took the maid to receive a few ladies, although most of these women in charge of the house did not leave the house, but in their jokes, a business of tens of thousands of yuan was actually a matter of a few words.

After watching Qingori leave, Li Zhang also stretched a long lazy waist, during this time he also began to deliberately stay away from the court, so he has been quite idle recently, the weather is warm and humid today, but it is a good weather to sleep in.
