Chapter 440: The Significance of Island Building
When Gao Feng received the news, it was already after the naval battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ni Yuchen and Wu Jue handled the whole matter very properly, and Gao Feng was very satisfied.
According to the news, the three ships of the Goryeo Kingdom never returned, which frightened the Goryeo people at once, and it no longer dared to send ships to look for trouble, even if the occasional fishing boat came to investigate, it was also carried out secretly. However, because the Tamna people were in front, the Song people's warships were not discovered.
The naval battle was a great stimulus to the Tamna, especially when it came to dividing the territory, and the Tamnas made great concessions.
In the end, it was determined that the territory of the Tamna Kingdom was bounded by the Hallasan Mountain and fanned east to the sea, and the rest was the territory of the Song people, so that the Tamna people accounted for about one-third of Jeju Island, and two-thirds belonged to the Song people.
Of course, this is only a division of ownership, and there are no obvious restrictions on the movement of people. The two families can communicate with each other, and it shows a friendship exchange.
In fact, Wang Min was worried about this way of being at first, after all, the Song people were too powerful, and he was not sure to protect the race from aggression.
But after a while, Wang Min gradually relieved his heart, and he found that these Song people were still quite honest.
They neither overly oppress people, nor carry out conspiracy and trickery, they do things in a real way, and they are honest, and what they embody from them is the greatness of human character.
Wang Min was impressed, and he was finally overjoyed to have this neighbor.
Putting aside the worries of the unknown, the arrival of the Song people did bring great benefits to the Tamna people, and Wang Min naturally knew this.
Whether it is life or work, with the help of the Song people, the Tamna people have completely developed by leaps and bounds. They no longer have to worry about eating the last meal and not having the next meal, nor do they have to worry about getting sick and not being able to be treated, and the people of Tamna finally experience a guaranteed comfort.
Not only that, but the Song people were also very selfless towards the Tamna people, and as long as they asked for something, they would lend a helping hand to relieve their difficulties.
Of course, the honesty of the Song people also moved the Tamna people, who were no longer defenseless against the Song people, and even took the initiative to help the Song people build their homeland, and the relationship between the two families became better and better.
……
When the situation on Jeju Island stabilized, the next biggest problem was immigration, and for this reason, Gao Feng brought Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi together.
"Two adults, the fleet at sea has found an island, this island is the size of our prefecture, and its proximity to Goryeo and Japan is very suitable as a transit point for us, I think ......"
Gao Feng did not shy away from confessing his thoughts to the two of them, while emphasizing the importance of occupying the island, trying to get their consent.
Of course, he did not say that this was premeditated, nor did he mention the naval battle with Goryeo, only that the island was discovered by accident and that it was an island with no dispute, in order to avoid the suspicion of the two.
In fact, Gao Feng didn't necessarily have the idea of getting the two of them to agree, all he asked for was that the two of them didn't object, because he knew that the Song people were actually not interested in the islands in the sea.
Of course, this lack of interest may be caused by the underdevelopment of transportation or navigation technology, or people's lack of deep understanding of the ocean, or more likely, the lack of concept of the sea and its belonging.
In any case, at this time, the sea was a mysterious and extremely difficult territory for people to conquer, and people were afraid of it, so they preferred to abandon it rather than conquer it, so that many of the possible benefits, including some islands, were ignored, and even had to be banned in later dynasties.
Speaking of the Song people, they are still quite contradictory in the development of the marine industry.
Its shipbuilding industry is well developed, with not only three major shipyards capable of producing world-leading first-class ships, but also some large combat fleets.
Its maritime trade was also very developed, as far as Daeshi, as close as Goryeo and Japan, and much of the trade revolved around the Great Song Dynasty, which had become the core of the world.
It's just that on the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty does not see the maritime interests far enough, and if nothing else, it is a bit strange to say that such a super island as "Liuqiu" is placed there, but the Great Song Dynasty did not consider allocating it to all.
"Liuqiu" was the name of the largest island in China during the Sui Dynasty, and it was not renamed Taiwan until the Ming Dynasty. Yes, it is such a large island, and it is so close to the mainland, and only a small number of Tu people live on it, and no one has ever considered taking it for now, which is simply incredible.
Taiwan is all this fate, Jeju Island is even less likely to have good treatment, it is farther away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the relationship is more loose, so few people know about it in the Great Song Dynasty.
Even those who know it will not be attracted by it, Jeju is thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, it is good to be able to reach it, who would dare to make a difference? Therefore, Jeju was easily classified as a nominal county by Goryeo, which is actually related to the fact that there is no one to compete with it.
The island area of Jeju is not big, but it is not small, and for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it cannot attract attention at all, not to mention the imperial court, even Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi are not interested in it.
In this regard, Gao Feng could not persuade the two of them in the sense of land and territory, and he could only talk about the benefits from the perspective of overseas business.
As a transit point for business, it naturally has many benefits, but as an island separated by a world, other management and belonging issues are considered by loyal and patriotic people, and Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi naturally have different opinions on this.
As a representative, Qiu Yi said: "Is it necessary to carry out a large number of immigrants because it is just an island in the sea, which is not frequented by the mainland and is small in size? ”
This is a tactic against immigration. Gao Feng nodded, and looked at Yang Bangyi again, wondering what he thought.
Yang Bangyi was much more tactful, he asked: "Lord Gao, if we build a transfer station, how much will we pay?" How much does it benefit us? Where are the benefits of comparing the two? ”
Although this is a bit naked, it is also the truth, and its fundamental point is also what Gao Feng wants to say, and Gao Feng will naturally not avoid it.
Gao Feng said: "Two adults, you may think that an island hanging over the sea has no practical significance, but what I want to say is that it is a great thing for the descendants of Fuyin, not to mention anything else, do you know how much it means to us once the transit station is built? Maybe you don't have a macro concept, but I can tell you that the establishment of a transfer station will not be less than the annual income of our county, and even much more. ”
"It's that big?" Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi both questioned at the same time.
