It can be said that Wu Feng's strategy is quite successful, he cleverly used people's convergence psychology and his own prestige to give a hint to those gentry, landlords and industrial and commercial nobles who have felt that the empire is about to usher in a new century, implying that investing in exploration and development overseas will obtain immeasurable and rich benefits, and this is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for the landed nobles who have already felt that the industrial and commercial aristocracy may gradually replace them as the new upstarts of the empire with their economic strength, and even His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is about to ascend the throne, is willing to invest, which is doubtfulAs long as they can obtain rich profits, will they not be as good as those industrial and commercial families whose ancestors or even small traders are not as good as those who have economic strength and noble backgrounds?

It was this kind of psychology that made the landed aristocrats in the interior of the entire empire flock to this kind of risky investment, so that Wu Feng had to instruct the relevant departments to remind these blind landed aristocrats of the huge risks of these investments, but this could not stop the investment enthusiasm of the landed aristocrats. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But these landed nobles obviously bet on this treasure, and they all got quite a lot of rewards from it, and when they looked at the industrial and commercial nobles with smug and contempt, they completely forgot that they had in fact completed their transformation and became one of them.

Even Wu Feng himself did not realize how far-reaching the trend he had spearheaded for the future of the new empire, and as wave after wave of pioneers made their fortunes and returned home, almost the entire middle and upper classes of the empire were immersed in this dream of making a fortune.

The famous saying "there is a new world overseas" has become the most popular and fashionable phrase in the entire society of the empire, and going to the New World to make a fortune has also become the best place for many poor people to find another way out, and the propertied class has lost no time in boasting about how rich the land and gold will be waiting for them in the new world, which has also created a new wave of immigration, even earlier than when the New Empire later promulgated the "Imperial Immigration Encouragement Regulations" and the "Imperial Migration and Migration Law".

And this kind of interest-driven wave of foreign colonization also quickly penetrated into the depths of the imperial people's minds, and stimulated the spirit of the imperial people's pursuit of foreign exploration, and this goal is also what Wufeng hopes to achieve the most, only in this way will the empire and the Tang nation maintain the momentum of continuous development, without this momentum, the Tang nation and their own empire are just passing clouds, and will eventually be annihilated in the tide of history.

Waving his hand, Wang Yi sat down next to him, and Wu Feng casually picked up a large stack of thick documents on the desk and handed it to his deputy director of foreign affairs, signaling the other party to take a cursory look at the materials first. Wang Yi inexplicably took the Chinese case of Wufengshou and buried his head in it. There was a faint smell of coffee wafting in the study, snow-white sugar cubes were placed on several tables, a delicate sterling silver spoon was placed on them, and a pot of yucca bamboo was placed on one side to bring a little greenery.

Wu Feng thought it was a little funny, Wang Yi was like a hyena that smelled blood, his eyes moved up and down, licking his dry lips from time to time, the excitement was overflowing, only when he found his prey, this negotiator would have such an expression, and now it was like this.

Wufeng waited patiently for Wang Yi to finish reading, and unhurriedly picked up the coffee cup and signaled to the other party to also taste these new products from Zhongnan County, the taste is quite good, and he already has the strength to compete with the coffee of North Luzon, at least Wu Feng himself did not taste how much difference these coffees are from the famous products of North Luzon, maybe there is only the difference in brand reputation.

It seems that it is a wise choice for him to change Jin Ning from the position of director of intelligence to the governor of Zhongnan County, his too square psychology is not suitable for the intelligence department, and this position of managing local administrative affairs is obviously more suitable for him, the government affairs bureau is also praised for Jin Ning's performance in Zhongnan County, especially in the development of the former Medan area, the road from Yada City to Moro is progressing rapidly, which is the lifeline that determines the future of the entire Central South County, it is said that Jin Ning almost never has to go to the construction site once a month to supervise the construction of this road, maybe he should take the time to inspect it。

Wang Yi's somewhat excited voice pulled Wu Feng back from his distraction: "Your Highness, great, this is sent by the Nanyang Alliance itself, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to slaughter well, then I'm really sorry for their 'hospitality'." ”

"Well, you look carefully, these intelligence materials are not easy to come by, the intelligence department has spent a lot of effort to obtain these things, these guys of the South Seas Alliance seem to really don't know whether to live or die, and it seems that the last lesson has not tasted the pain, and they need to be whipped more hard to make them remember their surnames for a long time. Wu Feng smiled faintly, seeing Wang Yi's anxious heart, he was also full of joy in his heart.

"Hehe, Your Highness, there is no problem, these evidences are enough to make the Nanyang Alliance speechless, last time it was those guys in the north of the Nanyang Alliance who supported the Maqi Khans, but this time it was these merchants in the south of the Nanyang Alliance who were in cahoots with Situ Tai, well, there are still Japanese people in the middle of the matchmaking in it, it's really good, let's not mention the Japanese for the time being, but these city-states in the south of the Nanyang Alliance have to make them sober up this time, who is the real boss in this land. Wang Yu said confidently.

"Well, although these loans were made by the merchants and banks of the Nanyang Alliance, they would not dare to be so presumptuous and bold without the instruction or consent of these countries and city-states of the Nanyang Alliance, but they did not expect that Situ Tai would collapse so quickly that they had no way to get rid of it, you must pay attention to this point, and you must not let the official countries and city-states of the Nanyang Alliance get out. Wu Feng nodded and reminded Wang Yi.

"Your Highness, rest assured, these businessmen are all councilors and political axe officials of their countries and city-states, hehe, and two are members of the alliance, and these two banks are also invested by some bigwigs in their alliance, this can't hide from us, if you want to get out, there is no door! If you don't drain them this time, it will really be a waste of this opportunity." Wang Yu said viciously: "Last time, because it was the northern forces of the Nanyang Alliance, the southern city-states and countries were still opposed, and now it's their turn, I want to see what they say this time." ”

"Well, you can consider the specific methods and conditions, but the diplomatic envoys of the Triple Alliance have already arrived, and I remember that the foreign affairs department had not discussed with them the sovereignty dispute over the Marbun Islands last time? They also seem to be interested, and this time it should be a good opportunity to unite the Triple Alliance to put pressure on the South Seas Alliance, and the Marbun Islands are large enough and large, and it is not okay to give them a spoonful of soup, as long as we control the important land. ”

Wu Feng's white teeth were a little hideous in Wang Yi's eyes, he had just considered whether he should put some effort into the Marbun Islands, and His Royal Highness King Qin pointed out that the target of this diplomatic blackmail was directly aimed at the Marbun Islands, and he also wanted to invite the Triple Alliance to put pressure on each other, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has already seen this, maybe Situ Tai's every move when he borrowed money from the merchants of the Nanyang Alliance has already fallen into the eyes of Xijiang, and the reason why there was no reaction at the beginning may be to wait for today's arrival。

"Well, the time of the Triple Alliance has arrived in Hanzhong, and Lord Su has already received them, but they probably don't know about this matter yet, and it will take some time to get the approval of their respective countries. Moreover, I am afraid that we also need to show some performance in the peninsula region, especially the military, in order to better cooperate with our work, the South Seas Alliance has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and the combination of force and diplomacy is the best strategy. Wang Yu further suggested.

"I have my own arrangements in terms of military affairs, but you have to grasp a degree, we have no intention of fighting a war in the Nanyang Alliance, at least I didn't have this idea for a period of time before and after I was like Yanjing, but you have to make the Nanyang Alliance feel that we are looking for an excuse to fight this war, if we can't meet our conditions, this war may break out, and the Triple Alliance may also join, only in this way can we force the Nanyang Alliance to make more concessions, of course, we can't go overboard, if the Nanyang Alliance thinks that there is no need to negotiate, it is not in our interests." 。 ”

After Wu Feng said this, he realized that he was a little wordy, in the face of such a veteran of diplomatic negotiations, wasn't the last acquisition of the three islands of the Marbun Islands that this guy had played enough tricks to come back? He still needs to explain himself? Wu Feng couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he said this.

"I have said more, Wang Yi, you can grasp it yourself, a principle, as much as possible to obtain the interests of the Marbun Islands, at this point you should be clear about my goal, the South Seas Alliance attaches great importance to the Marbun Islands, this is a rare opportunity for us, and once the New World is developed in the future, they will find that all the shipping lanes in front of them are firmly controlled in our hands." Wu Feng waved his hand and made a conclusion.

Wang Yi bowed silently and retreated.

Looking at the back of Wang Yi's passing, Wu Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, if the Marbun Islands can be taken without fighting, it would be better, and controlling the Marbun Islands is equivalent to controlling the entire Great South Ocean, and controlling the Great South Ocean is equivalent to controlling the entire Eastern Continent to the lifeline of the Central and Western Continents and even the New World, which will play an important role in the trend of the entire Eastern Continent in the future.
