In the establishment of the ocean trading company, Su Ziheng did not completely use government personnel, but adopted a combination of government and non-governmental methods.

Among them, the government will take two-thirds of the goods of the entire fleet to trade, but at the same time will free one-third of the share to private merchants.

Su Ziheng's purpose in doing this was to arouse the interest of the merchants of Donghai Province, and only when the merchants and ordinary people made money would they actively carry out similar activities to the sea.

Only when the people under his rule are rich can the economy of Donghai Province be truly revitalized. Otherwise, no matter how rich the government of Donghai Prefecture is, the common people are poor and have no money to eat, and it will not help the economic construction of Donghai Prefecture.

After testing the stability of the treasure ship, the environment in Donghai Mansion was unexpectedly quiet in the next few months, and there was no witch cult attacking Donghai Mansion as everyone guessed.

According to Zhong Qinghan's guess, perhaps the witch cult was unable to launch a sneak attack from the inside after discovering that the conspiracy between the inside and the outside was discovered, and if they attacked, they were not ready yet, so it was possible to give up the plan to Donghai Mansion for the time being.

The Witch Cult can calm down and wait until they find an opportunity to launch an attack on Donghai Province. But Su Ziheng couldn't wait, on the one hand, the shipyard was still building treasure ships one after another, and it was impossible to sail to the sea. On the other hand, because of the increasing territory affected by the wars outside, trade with Bactria and Eastern Wei has gradually decreased by more than half, and even in the Southern Zhou, which has always been relatively peaceful, many of their trading houses have reduced their normal trade contacts and instead hoarded food and weapons.

Depending on the situation, they themselves have also got some news, knowing that the world will gradually become unpeaceful, if they don't seize the time to protect themselves, no matter how much money they make, they will also make wedding dresses for others.

Faced with such a situation, Su Ziheng can no longer sit idly by. Just before the Witch Sect launched an attack on the East China Sea Mansion, Su Ziheng could still spare some time, and he planned to drive the Shenlong Battleship out to sea to detect the route of the Eastern and Western Continents first.

At this time, Su Ziheng had two plans, one was to divert from Nanyang or Wa Kingdom to the Western Continent, and the other was to go directly from Donghai Mansion to the Western Continent. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how Su Ziheng chooses.

If you go to the Wa Kingdom or the South Seas, you can escort some small fleets to trade with the Wa Kingdom and the South Seas countries, but because you have not yet found a suitable route, this may delay a lot of time.

Starting directly from Donghai Mansion, it can save a lot of time and not delay along the way, but because Su Ziheng does not have a detailed map of the entire planet in his hand, he doesn't know whether the path he chooses is shorter or longer.

When he was in a dilemma, Zhao Wan'er reminded him that the main purpose of his trip to the Western Continent was to make money. Since you can make a lot of money by going to the Japanese country, why not do it? What's more, many things from the Wa Kingdom are also quite popular in the Western Continent, and it may be much cheaper to purchase them directly from the Wa Kingdom.

Su Ziheng was justified when he heard this, although it seemed that he had been delayed a lot of time along the way, but this was also for trading, as long as he could make money, what if it took a little longer?

What's more, along the way, you can also escort a small fleet to pass, and the trade with the Japanese country should not be underestimated.

Last time, Su Ziheng heard that there was a silver mine in the Japanese country, and it was still a rich mine, so Su Ziheng had the idea of taking the Japanese country. Just by the way, she can also help Dong Yuan fulfill her wish.

After learning that Su Ziheng was going to trade with the Wa Kingdom and at the same time open up the route from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, Dong Yuanyu was the first to put forward the idea of following him to act, to which Su Ziheng naturally agreed immediately.

If you want to conquer the Japanese country, you must naturally have a henchman of your own to defend it, otherwise the territory you have worked hard to build will be easily occupied by others because of your own departure, and it will be a big loss.

It's just that this first trip he went to explore the way, and he didn't plan to attack immediately. At present, there are still external troubles in Donghai Mansion, and a witch cult that is hostile to Donghai Mansion is still hiding in the shadows, and if he does not deal with the affairs of the witch sect, Su Ziheng will not easily pull the Donghai Mansion naval army away.

Dong Yuan Yu put forward a good opinion to Su Ziheng, that is, you can support a force in the Wa State now, let him help him do things, and when he has free up his hands, he can deal with the remaining opposition forces.

Su Ziheng agreed to Dongyuan's proposal with satisfaction, and said that when he arrived at Wadao, he would leave the matter to her to deal with.

After all, Dong Yuan Yu lived in the Wa Kingdom for many years when she was a child, and she knew some of the forces of the Wa Kingdom very well, so it was only fitting that she should do it. It just so happens that she also wants to help the people of the original Ashikaga family return to the country, so it depends on whether she can seize the opportunity this time?

……

……

Everything was ready, and it took another three days to prepare the goods ready to be sold to the Wa Kingdom and the Western Continent, mainly all kinds of porcelain, silk, tea and other things.

These goods are known to be the most loved goods of the people of the Japanese Kingdom and the Western Continent, and as long as they can be safely transported to their destinations, they will not be able to sell at all.

As for the other things produced in the Donghai Prefecture workshop, they will be adjusted according to the results of the investigation after they arrive in the Western Continent.

This first trip was just a way out, and the ship had to carry more food and drink on the way in addition to these goods.

Su Ziheng promised Zhong Qinghan, Zhao Wan'er and Bo Yalun that when he came back from the Western Continent, he would marry them as soon as possible, so that they must guard their homes, send him a telegram as soon as there was something, and he would rush back as soon as he received the news.

Having said that, Su Ziheng was not sure if he could receive wireless telegraphy on the road.

As for whether he can reach the Western Continent from Wajima, Su Ziheng is not worried at all, according to the results obtained from the intelligence he collected, there have already been fleets from the Western Continent that have arrived at Wajima, but these people are unlucky, and they were actually blackened by General Ashikaga, who was in power at the time of Wajima.

Su Ziheng was able to get this news, naturally thanks to Dong Yuan, when she fled from Wajima, she brought out a lot of secret information and books of the Ashikaga family. As a result, all of them are now cheaper to Su Ziheng.

The fleet departed from Tohae Province, and in addition to a huge treasure ship, dozens of small sea ships were also passed.

This small is relative to the treasure ship, and they are not too small, thirty or forty meters long, and they are the mainstream transport ships at sea.

These sea ships are going to the Wa Island to trade with the Wa Kingdom, and will not go with Su Ziheng to open up new routes. Their purpose was to dump all the surplus goods produced in the Tokai Prefecture workshops into Wajima and Nanyang.

At the same time, various gold and silver treasures and various ore raw materials were brought back from the Wa Kingdom and the Nanyang States, and the construction of the Tokai Province was continued.
