Gu Ji's answer immediately caused quite a controversy among the cadres, the decline of the Tang River Empire in recent years once made these hot-blooded scholars depressed, but with the unification of Western Xinjiang, let the scholars see the hope of the revival of the Tang people, Western Xinjiang has come to the front of the entire empire in these aspects, although it is not enough, but it has taken a good start, Gu Ji is clearly talking like this is deliberately suppressing the achievements of His Royal Highness King Qin, which makes the supporters of the invincible are a little angry, including Gu Hua.

"Big brother, no matter what, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is far superior to any emperor of the Situ Dynasty in terms of foresight and wisdom, do you look at what the Situ family has ruined our Tang clan in the past hundred years? It is said that His Royal Highness King Qin has built a strong navy in the Great South Sea, and has also established a naval academy in East Samoa, and now the Mawen Islands, which originally belonged to the South Sea Alliance, have also been reassigned to us, which also fully proves that His Royal Highness King Qin attaches great importance to sea power, and what the Japanese people took from Situ Tai, we will definitely be able to take it back, and we will have to make the Japanese people pay the price, I believe that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be able to do it once he reigns in the worldγ β
Gu Hua was obviously a little dissatisfied with his brother's repeated pouring cold water, although he had great respect for his brother, but he would not back down in the slightest in the debate of these views.
"Fourth Brother Gu is right, I heard that the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Bureau is also drafting a policy to encourage the development of offshore shipping, and the Tang Empire will introduce a series of preferential policies to encourage people to trade abroad and participate in foreign exploration and exploration, which also proves that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is also aware of the problems existing in our current situation. The sea will play an increasingly important role in the rise and fall of an empire, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin can take precautions to incorporate the peninsula region into the rule of the Western Frontier, which also fully proves the foresight of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and now the Great South Ocean Empire has obtained an excellent location to the sea, and has obtained a strategic location on the Marvin Islands, and the entire Great South Ocean has become an indispensable trade route for our empire, and the Great Eastern Ocean and the Great South Ocean are like a pair of wings of our empire, which is enough to take great strides to drive the empire to greatly develop in all aspects. β
The brown-shirted man who said these words was a little older, and his face was full of reverence when he mentioned His Royal Highness King Qin's fatal purity, and he knew at a glance that he was also a loyal supporter of Wufeng, seeing that Wufeng was very concerned about this person, Gu Ji quietly tilted his head and whispered: "Ge Xingchang, one of the eight sons of Yanjing, is originally from Cangzhou Mansion in Yanyun County, is very literate, and was formerly an official of the General Administration of the Tang River Empire. β
"We generally do not attach much importance to maritime rights and interests in the Eastern Continent, even the Triple Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance only regard sea transportation as a relatively convenient and cheap trade channel, in fact, they do not pay attention to things outside the coastal sea, such as the Marvin Islands, the size of hundreds of islands, but the Nanyang Alliance has almost no development, except for a very few for military purposes, the others are almost all deserted, such a situation is simply unimaginable if it is in the Western Continent. "Another young man sitting next to a mixed-race beauty also answered, it seems that this person also seems to have some understanding of some of the situation in the Western Continent, and he is also full of temperament when he speaks," I traveled in the Aegean and Baltic Seas last year, especially in the Aegean Sea, and those city-states and city-republics attached great importance to sea power to the point beyond imagination, even if anyone dared to infringe on the inspection rights of ordinary merchant ships, it could lead to a war between the two countries, and every island in the Aegean Sea did not know how many battles it had experienced and fought over and over again, and in the eastern continent, hundreds of islands were abandoned in vain, and such a huge disparity did not make people feel heartache. β
Seeing Wu Feng's eyes flickering, Gu Ji knew that Wu Feng was only afraid that he was interested in this guy again, so he nodded slightly and said: "Cao Li, one of the eight sons of Yanjing, once served in the Imperial Foreign Affairs Bureau, and then resigned to travel around, and it is said that he once went to the Leeds Kingdom on the Storm Ocean, and he is good at receiving people and things, proficient in Lania and Tianfang, and is a talent. β
The controversy over the question of sea power immediately aroused great interest among the people gathered around the charcoal stove, especially Gu Hua's various policies of attaching importance to sea power in the Western Territory in the South China Sea, starting from the various measures taken by the South China Sea Governor's Office, encouraging the establishment of shipyards, and also injecting capital into the shipyard to expand its scale, encouraging overseas trade, and rewarding marine exploration and mapping, all of which aroused heated discussions among the scholars, but Gu Ji and Wu Feng became two idlers, and no one talked to them.
"Gu Ji, it seems that your family Gu Hua is very interested in the situation in the peninsula region, and even knows the details of the local political axe's investment in various shipyards, if he is not from your Gu family, I almost have to wonder if he is a spy of the Japanese or the South Seas Alliance. β
"Hehe, Guhua has always been very interested in shipping, most of our Gujia industries are mainly based on land transportation, and they are not much involved in sea and river transportation, but Ahua has always advocated that our Guji should invest in marine transportation, and believes that the development potential of sea transportation in the East Continent is huge, especially now that the peninsula region of the Great South Ocean has been connected with the southern region of the empire, and the structure of sea and land combined transportation has been formed, and it should have considerable prospects. Guji smiled, but there was a lot of pride in his tone.
"Well, I can't see that your family Guhua still has a lot of vision in this regard, our empire originally lagged behind other regions in maritime trade, and now the land transportation lines in the peninsula region are gradually improving, and the commercial trade exchanges with the Central and Western continents will only become more and more frequent, and the three major ports in the peninsula region will play an important role, and in the future, the trade exchanges between the five lakes, the three rivers, Tiannan, Burma and the central and western continents will all pass through this route, and considerable benefits should be achieved by investing as soon as possible." Wu Feng also smiled in response, but his eyes fell on the half-race girl who had been paying attention to the two of them with his spare eyes.
The half-breed girl began to pay attention to the two of them since they sat down with Gu Ji, but she didn't pay attention to Gu Ji like the others, but kept observing Wu Feng, which made Wu Feng a little surprised, it stands to reason that with Gu Ji's identity, he is just a companion and should not pay attention to himself, but this half-race girl is obsessed with paying attention to herself, which is indeed a bit strange.
"Mr. Tang, I heard that you are from the Central Continent, and my hometown is also in the Central Continent, I haven't been back for many years, I wonder if Mr. Tang can introduce the current situation in the Central Continent?" Wu Feng appeared as a businessman from Northern Luzon, and the mixed-race girl finally led the topic to Wu Feng, who had been sitting on the sidelines.
"Oh, Miss Kumena is probably from Indian, right? I've been to Indean a few times, and I don't know what tribe Miss Kumena is from?" Wu Feng was also full of interest in this mixed-race beauty, this girl seemed to mix the advantages of the white race and the yellow race, and she also carried the beauty of the Indian race, and her round face revealed a healthy and fresh atmosphere, which was completely different from the pitiful Qingli woman next to her.
"My father is from the Yakuan tribe and my mother is from the Western Continent. Yan Ran smiled, her fluffy brown hair casually draped over her shoulders, indescribably pure and charming.
"Well, the Yakuan tribe, it doesn't seem to be very stable over there now, it seems that there is a lot of trouble for religious reasons, I haven't been there for a long time, I'm more dealing with the merchants of Hyderabad and the Punjas. "Although he has not set foot on the land of Indean since he left Indean, it does not mean that Wufeng does not know the situation of Indean, the intelligence department will regularly send detailed information to Wufeng almost every week, and especially now that the situation in Indean is changing, although it is on the way back to Yanjing, Wufeng has not relaxed his attention to the situation in Indean.
"I heard that the Holy Spirit Sect from the Western Continent has caused a lot of waves in my hometown Yakuan tribe because of missionary issues, I don't know if that's the case?"
The topic of the mixed-race girl's concern made Wu Feng a little vigilant, the Yakuan tribe is now in trouble because of the Holy Spirit Sect missionary problem, the middle and upper class Yakuan people have gradually accepted the baptism of the Holy Spirit Sect and converted to the Holy Spirit Sect, but the lower class people do not have the consciousness of the middle and upper class nobles, they still adhere to their original beliefs, and refuse to bow to the Holy Spirit Sect, and then the riots caused by it have spread throughout the entire region, and for a time blood is flowing everywhere, people are rolling, and the sharp conflict of faith has become the biggest crisis in the Yakuan region. But this kind of thing is not very clear even to the people in the neighboring areas, how can an ordinary woman who is far away from the Indean area be so aware and so concerned?
"Oh, it seems that there is some conflict in this regard, the Holy Spirit Cultists in the Western Continent probably think that the Yakuans have converted to their beliefs, and think that the things that the Niye Religion believes in are outdated and should be abandoned, but it seems that on this issue, the Yakuans also seem to have a big disagreement within the Yakuans, and the Holy Spirit Sect is supported by the entire Western Continent behind them, and it seems that the Yakuans may have to accept the faith imposed on them by the Holy Spirit Sect. Wu Feng quietly tested the other party's reaction, he had already sensed that this woman seemed to want to use this problem to attract everyone's attention in this regard, so he was eager to see what kind of medicine this mixed girl was selling in her gourd.
