Zheng He came back, and brought back the people who Wu You had been looking forward to for a long time, these people were businessmen who had followed Wu You through the new city, these businessmen were landlords, consortiums, and gate valves, although they were not the leaders, but they were also pivotal people, such as Yu Xiaoyan in the Qige Pavilion, such as the big housekeeper Fu Fu who was commonly used in Shanxi Coal Mine, and so on, they all had the right to make decisions about things. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was not easy to persuade them to come, and all this did not waste Zheng He's time, but only handed over the letters that Wu You asked Ruan Deyu to write—mainly because he couldn't write, and these merchants rushed to see Zheng He.

Now, although the businessmen have a bottom in their hearts about what Wu You said, they are still a little surprised and surprised, because it means that Wu You is willing to divide the interests and is willing to point out a clear path for them.

Wu You smiled and said, "Please open the blue book in front of you!" ”

Everyone listened to the order and opened it with curiosity, but they saw a very complicated picture, but after a while, everyone's faces changed drastically, and then they were calm and thoughtful.

Wu You smiled: "This is a world map, although it is not too perfect, but it can allow you to see where we are, as you can see, the Han Empire is just a piece, in the entire land, there are more people and more land, and these lands, many people do not know our existence, but some time ago, I met people from Portugal, they are amazed by our porcelain, for our bronze products, for our silk, proving that they do not have such a technology, everyone... It's all money! ”

The merchants suddenly talked about it, from ancient times to the present, people's eyes have always been on the territory of the empire and the like, and a little farther away is to do business with the Huns and sell goods to the Japanese people, but now they are telling them, you are playing too low, this world is so big, don't you want to go and see?

"How can you guarantee that they will like our clothes and copperware too? The so-called custom of ten miles and one mile, if it can't be sold at that time..."

Wu You smiled and said to Zheng He: "Tell me how our things are selling?" ”

Zheng He reasoned out and said: "Because of the long distance and the strange things, our things sell very well, and everyone here, please don't forget that selling things is only one of them, they also have some things that we don't have, and these things are resold to the empire, then the benefits are enough to make you earn several times." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, but they didn't expect it.

Wu You continued: "We have been doing this for a few years, so we have considered your considerations, of course, you can also try to do it, it is not necessary for you to implement it immediately, there is a more important point in today's meeting, everyone also knows that this world is very big, if we go from the empire and then to the United Kingdom, which is what you drew on the map, it will be three or four years, and we can let the same ship run so far?" Then you need a transit station, and here, that is, you can see that if you don't go through the sea in front of you, the ship will spend more time getting around, which is very cost-effective, so you don't have to think far away from us, we are willing to be sincere, and I hope you can take this place into account, this will give us a second homeland feeling! Don't worry about safety! ”

Only then did everyone know the focus of Wu You's conversation, and secretly said that Wu You had a big heart, and he wanted to turn this place into the center of the world, just imagine that in the future, the ships of the empire will only come here, and the ships of other countries will only come here in the future, so how prosperous will this place be? ! Everyone gasped.

Ruan Deyou and others were also moved in their hearts, this was the first time they heard Wu You say the future of the country so clearly, it turned out that he wanted to be the capital of the world, he was not afraid, and he was quite excited to imagine.

Wu You naturally understood what they were thinking, and there was nothing to hide about this matter, because now they needed their strength too much, and they needed the inflow of population, Singapore was not big, but it was not small, and it could accommodate too many people, and now, except for the port, most of them were towns and villages, and the further south was full of trees, and there were no people at all.

For the sake of population growth, Wu You even began to ask Ruan Deyou to issue incentive policies, such as giving birth to a reward of ten silver coins, etc., but it will take many years to wait for these labor forces to grow up, and although the Malay country opposite has opened the sea ban, they also have a thousand ways to make people unable to get by, pinning their hopes on the enemy, which is obviously not so realistic.

Turning this place into the world's exchange center, cargo transfer station, and talent gathering center is Wu You's ultimate goal.

Wu You smiled and said: "Okay, that's all for my words, the rest of you think about it yourself, in Imperial New City, that is, Huating County, since everyone can see the profits, but the profits in front of you are not the same as over there, and there is no competition, as long as you ship it over, you will make money!" ”

Everyone nodded, but they didn't immediately agree.

Yu Xiaoyan looked at the big boy in front of her and sighed for a while, thinking that she was still a little kid when she met back then, but in a blink of an eye, she was so confident and strong, "Mr. President..." It's a bit strange to call out the president, because the name is very strange.

"Mr. President, I wonder what the currency here is?" Yu Xiaoyan asked.

Wu Youmu glanced at him appreciatively and said: "At present, we still use the coins of the Han Empire, but after we build it here, we will also carry out reforms in terms of currency, but the coins of the Han Empire will be used forever, please rest assured." ”

Suddenly, someone laughed and said: "Since this is the case, then we can rest assured, but because the empire has only opened the sea ban, and we don't know what the new emperor's plans are for the future, so this matter can only wait for a while for the time being." ”

Wu You smiled: "Of course, but you can build ships now, and you can follow our ships in the future!" Lead the way for you for free, until your crew is familiar with the sea route! ”

Everyone nodded, and Wu You continued: "Then now invite our Prime Minister Sun Han to continue the following topic!" ”

Changsun Han coughed, looked at the record book in his hand and said: "At present, our new city is planning, we have reserved some shops for you, the house is big enough, the location is good enough, if you are interested, you can bring it back for reference, the city planning map and in the book in front of you, you can take it back, next year, we will auction it out, at that time you must see our strength, and the strength of this city!" ”

After the meeting came to an end and asked them all to leave, Wu You's group did not leave, and Changsun Han frowned and asked, "Will they come?" So far after all! ”

"Enough benefits are here, how can they refuse..."Qi Jiguang said: "But now the Portuguese may be about to fight!" ”

Wu You nodded, and Qi Jiguang and the others basically knew that the Portuguese had begun to colonize India in that world, even if there was no one in this world, then there would be a part of the army not far away, and this part of the army would also come in due course to baptize the city.

Zhan Tianyou said: "Then are our railroad tracks still paved?" Because the current stall may be a bit big! ”

Ruan Deyou nodded and said, "Mr. Da Chao is right, should we devote all our energy to the army!" ”

Wu You shook his head and said: "First, although the current world has opened the Age of Discovery, but everyone, the voyage is not as terrifying as we think, and it will take a certain amount of time for foreign forces to get here, second, our current island is very special, surrounded by the sea, which requires us to have an extremely large ability to transport troops, and the road is imperative, third, if all work is suddenly stopped, it means that there is a lot less labor position, so what should these people do?" Who consumes the products of the city for us? Therefore, it is not bad to bloom everywhere, but it requires us to race against time! Do our own thing! ”

Everyone nodded, and Wu You said again: "Zheng He, you have worked hard this time, you have been playing for so long!" ”

Zheng He smiled and waved his hand: "If you can sail, why bother, but do we really want to go to India now?" ”

Wu You nodded and said: "Wait, these Portuguese will definitely make a move, when they are over, let's stretch the route a little farther, don't forget, you can buy coffee beans when you are in Kyoto of the Han Empire, what does this mean?" It is possible that the Age of Sail began earlier than we think! ”

The overlord of the sea is meant to accumulate blood, if it can't bring more people in, can a small Singapore really prevent so many people? At least not yet. (To be continued.) )
