2660 Breaking the Waves
As for Liu Ji's sudden idea of returning to Chu State, it was actually Lu Pheasant's idea, because she saw far more situations in Xianyang in Qin State than Liu Ji had seen.
In fact, the opportunity for the development of the Qin State is not very large, especially this kind of area from the Western Regions of the Qin State, and the funds in their hands are very small. And it is not well developed. There is also little knowledge. It is difficult to develop in the Qin State, because it is difficult to control the technology in some key areas. Even if it is an investment, it also requires a lot of analysis.
Their advantage is not here. For example, Xiao He has his own bank analysis ability, while Liu Ji and others do not have such ability at all. All they can do is fight and kill. It's a team that can do that.
But back to Chu to develop, there are still such opportunities, Chu is actually very backward, this country is working very hard to pursue transformation, helpless, this country is very scattered, the success of the national transformation is unknown, although Chu is trying to catch up, but it is still not enough.
In this way, it gives one of the biggest opportunities to go to the Chu State for development. From the Qin State to the Chu State to invest, nominally, they have the identity of the Qin State, and this identity gives them a great convenience for investment. On the other hand, the state of Chu itself also needs such investment. Because only such an investment can bring new strength to their backward environment. This is a force for new development.
Although Liu Ji himself couldn't tell why he wanted to go to Chu State, what kind of benefits he had to go to Chu State, etc., he knew that the opportunity for Chu State was relatively large, because backward places would need people from advanced places to plan, Liu Ji was only vaguely aware of this, and he himself didn't know how to develop greatly.
The southernmost point of the Western Ocean. A South Korean expedition ship docks here. They are professional explorers.
"Breaking the Waves". is the name of the expedition ship. The captain's name is Wang Ying. is a retired professional soldier, and the reason why he chose to explore is because he feels that people should have the initiative to explore the world. He had received a whole new level of geographical knowledge, and he knew that the world was big, so he wanted to go out and see, and for such a bold idea, there was a lot of support, there were companies, governments, and the military. Therefore, his source of funds is not a problem, he just needs to record the results of his investigation. Because these records would bring great wealth, because of this, some trading companies, governments, armies financed him in this way.
"After we replenished the supplies we needed here, we took advantage of what the locals call the southwest monsoon to open north, and there are more prosperous places there." Wang Ying said.
"Captain, but there is no such monsoon yet. We still have to wait a few days. First mate Guo Xiang said. The Breaking Wave docked here, and the sailors on board disembarked and relaxed. The first mate knew what they were going to do, looking for women. This is a hobby for all crew sailors. They will not be willing to spend all the money they have earned. There are many benefits here, such as the fact that one bar of soap can win the favor of several women. Soap is sometimes better than gold coins. Because they are not merchant ships, many crew members can only secretly bring back some gold coins, but considering that they are at risk at any time. They always try to relax as much as possible after landing. This is the default rule.
"Well, it's okay for us to wait a little longer, so that those cadets from the military academy can study more. Or they can know more. Captain Wang Ying said.
"Yes, Captain." First mate Guo Xiang said. The so-called cadets are actually just some scientific personnel in the name of the South Korean Navy, but they have the most basic scientific knowledge, they have to understand all kinds of customs and customs in various places, in fact, they are more of an observer, they record a lot of things they see and do not understand, and sometimes they will bring some animal and plant specimens. Plants can also be left behind. But animals are rarely recorded, as sometimes sailors steal specimens and eat them. Therefore, those students can only paint what they can see.
"We also need a lot of linguistic experts who can help us solve a lot of problems. A lot of times, we don't even know what they're talking about?" Wang Ying said.
"Sir, there's no way around it, we're here for the first time in many places. The local guides didn't know our language yet. If we were given a little time, maybe we could solve this problem. Guo Xiang said.
"Hmm. I hope so. Wang Ying said.
"Then we'll go back to the north and continue west along the coastline, so we'll have plenty of ports to supply along the way. This is what the map of the Qin people says. We are in a position on a Western continent. It is suitable for the development of agriculture, as for the local minerals. We don't know. Wang Ying was recording some of the things he saw in his notebook.
"Captain, I have a suggestion that I think we should involve more ships, and faster ships, in our activities, because only in this way can we explore the world better and more extensively." Guo Xiang suggested.
"I know that, and I'm making a similar point. But the government can still fund relatively little, the most important thing at the moment is to make money, only to make more money, we can participate in larger expeditions, and then we can have more troops to help us, like the port where we are currently docking, it will take us a considerable amount of time to get the army to stay. And we must be at the forefront of the army. Our adventurous spirit will be remembered by all. Wang Ying said.
"Hmm. Captain, I figured it out. Guo Xiang nodded and said.
"Hmm. Very good. It's good to understand. You go and do your thing. Wang Ying said. The Koreans' expedition will be ahead of other countries. This is because of the initiative and adventurous spirit of Koreans. Their bold actions will gradually discover the world, but unfortunately, they can only develop west and south and not east, because if they develop east, there is no coastline to rely on. It was the Pacific Ocean that appeared to them, and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean prevented them from venturing eastward. There was a deviation in the direction of the Koreans.
