Just when the sugar storm was about to rise, Zifeng had already set off again with the fleet.

The huge warships were lined up, and the sails raised covered the sky and the sun, and even the guards of the Bay Area batteries who had seen the world felt refreshed.

"Commander, after this mission is completed, is it time to have an explanation? ”

It was Zifeng's deputy Hu Yu who spoke.

The two were originally the captains of the battleships of the River Fleet, but their qualifications were not as good as Song Feng and Zhong Bo, and now they have begun to take charge on their own.

Hu Yu has a basis for saying this.

As the status of the Southern Subcontinent becomes more and more important, the establishment of naval bases is imminent, sooner rather than later.

If the mission is successfully completed this time, then Zifeng and him are undoubtedly the best candidates for the head of the new fleet.

At that time, according to military tradition, Zifeng will be the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and he will be the political commissar, which is appropriate.

Zifeng didn't think that far, "Just think about these things in your heart, don't shout everywhere, our majesty is not an ordinary person." ”

A pun intended.

"I'll just talk to you, and Your Majesty has also said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and we are on the throne with our ability, so why should we hide it. ”

Hu Yu felt that it was okay to be more open-minded.

"You, let's take one step at a time, it is estimated that Your Majesty and the military have already made plans. ”

This is true, Wang Xuan has a plan, but the candidate has not yet been determined.

Da Gaoqiang's mistake gave the rising star a chance, and among Zifeng's group, the two of them had the biggest chance.

The military department also submitted several candidates, all of whom were captains of the same period, and Wang Xuan was still swaying.

The fleet went all the way south along the course, and before the excitement of the people had passed, they had the opportunity to go to the deck to blow the sea breeze, overlook the vastness of the sea, and feel the boundless visual experience.

In just a few days, my skin has darkened a lot.

This time, I encountered two storms, but the power was not as strong as the one that reached Gaoqiang, and I survived without danger.

After passing through the storm wall, the outline of the island looms.

"Owner, this is the northernmost island, but unfortunately for everyone's safety, we were not allowed to explore the island. ”

Han'er pointed to a small island in front of her and chattered non-stop.

He Long and He Huan watched the island from the side of the boat, and the lush greenery on it was unreal, that is, there were many seabirds, and the ups and downs did not stop.

"How much gold does it cost to rent such an island?" He Long asked.

"You really heard Han'er say that you want to rent an island, let me tell you that although this island is small, it is not cheap, and besides, what are you going to do if you rent it, do you raise birds?"

He Huan obviously does not support renting an island.

"Look at what the third brother said, I just asked, the farm has not yet been determined, how can I rent this. He Long explained with a smile.

While the crowd was talking and laughing, the fleet had already rounded the island and sailed into the southern waterway.

"There are scattered islands around here, some large and some small, but they are all uninhabited islands, and only the military has boarded them. Han'er pointed to the islands and explained.

This attracted the attention of people with a heart, "This little brother, do you know what the military did on the island?"

The person who asked was a middle-aged man, dressed in an auspicious fashion brand, and he was very generous.

"It's nothing more than studying the terrain and drawing a map, and by the way, let's see what resources are available. Han'er replied.

He really didn't know, and he also heard the news from other people's gossip.

The middle-aged man was a little disappointed, and said, "Does the government have the intention of leasing islands?"

"Hey, he came here last time, and you have to ask the government about this. He Long interjected.

"That's it, how do we ordinary people know about this. Han'er also replied.

"Hey, I don't want to hide it, I plan to rent a small island, so I want to know more about this information and get first-hand information, so that I won't bid indiscriminately and spend that unjust money when bidding. ”

This is also true, if you don't understand the environmental resources of the island, you will lose a lot if you rent a useless island.

"You should ask the government when you arrive in the New World, if the government intends to rent it, there will be a detailed introduction. He Huan said.

These businessmen just like to speculate, and they are more active than anyone else in making a profit.

"Delle. ”

Seeing that he couldn't get useful news, the middle-aged man stopped dwelling on it, turned around and walked away.

"Third brother, I don't look like a good person. ”

Not only did He Long feel that there was something wrong with that person, but He Huan also saw it, "Who knows what the idea is, let's try not to have anything to do with him, so as not to be implicated in an accident in the future." ”

The news of the fleet's imminent arrival reached the station, and Wang Xuan was studying the surrounding topographic map, which had just been completed by the military.

"Discovered by a hot air balloon?"

"Yes, those guys from the Air Department wish they hadn't come down from the sky all day, and they sent someone to deliver the word as soon as they got the letter. Yang Tao said.

Wang Xuan took the information and looked at it, "Good guy, twenty-nine ships, it seems that many plans can be implemented." ”

Yang Tao wished that the larger the fleet, the better, so that His Majesty would have to return to auspiciousness, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's take a look and see where it's a good place to be a fleet station. Wang Xuan motioned for Yang Tao to come closer.

Liu Liu and Wang Xuan discussed the matter of the fleet station, and originally chose the initial landing site, but after actual investigation, it was found that it was not suitable.

The waterways were narrow, not conducive to the fleet, and the average water depth was only five meters, so large ships could not be stopped, so they had to find other places.

Although Yang Tao is not from the navy, he is not a layman, and after carefully looking at the map, he pointed to an island in the north and said, "The minister thinks this place is very good." ”

It was an island to the north of the station, separated from it by a large island with a reef in the middle of the station, which could be repaired to allow for horse-drawn carriages.

"Oh, why not the big island connected to this place?" asked Liu Liu.

He advocated the establishment of a naval port on the west side of the island, which was a large place, suitable for the depth of the water, and close to the station, and the two words 'perfect'.

"Although the big island is good, it is not a good choice to use it as a military port, but it is quite suitable for building a cargo terminal. Yang Tao explained.

"The military port is an important military place, and it is not suitable to be built in a place where there are many people, and with the increasing population, the development of the large island is a matter of time. ”

Liu Liu looked at the map and thought for a moment.

"Once the island is developed, there will be a big increase in the flow of people. In addition, for the sake of our own safety, I am afraid that the base camp will be moved to the big island. ”

This is to the point, the base camp has been moved to the big island for easy defense, and it is close to the naval base to the north, so it can be attacked and defended.

"In the future, the trade between the two sides will be very frequent, and the construction of the freight terminal on the big island is a combination of time, place, and people.

This time the fleet must have brought a lot of tools with it, and the east side of the island was light and the waves were small, and the temporary wharf could be built soon.

In addition, there was plenty of manpower, and when the wharf was built, a temporary residence was also built, and the island was gradually developed. ”

Liu Liu did not respond to Yang Tao's opinion, but asked Wang Xuan what he meant.

"Although these more than 10,000 acres of land are ours, they are still too small compared to the entire continent, and whether they are the ten indigenous tribes or the invaders entrenched in the southwest, they can pose a threat to our security, so the base camp still has to be moved to the big island.

We don't know how the invaders reacted to our arrival, but we should be careful, as the locals say they are very powerful.

Moreover, this land is mainly used to grow food, and there are not so many people. ”

Wang Xuan agreed with Yang Tao's opinion, although his words were a little tactful.

"Then I'll get ready. ”

"Okay, try to be thorough. ”

As soon as Liu Liu left, Wang Zhi came.

"Your Majesty, nearly a hundred islands around you are going to be rented out?"

"Rent, why not rent, except for the ones in the north, rent out all the rest, and sell the naming rights of the islands. ”

Yang Tao heard that Wang Xuan had packaged and sold the naming rights of the island, so he couldn't stop stealing fun.

This amused Wang Zhi too, "Your Majesty is high." ”

"Sensei, let's first name the islands in the north, and call them the old ones, don't be angry. ”

"The minister already has a draft, please look at it. ”

Wang Zhi said, and handed a document in his hand to Wang Xuan, which described these two things.

"The big island is called 'Shenlong Island'?"

Wang Xuan almost spit out the tea.

"Yes, everybody says it's a domineering name. ”

It's quite domineering, but it sounds a little weird.

"Forget it, Shenlong Island is Shenlong Island, as long as there is no Shenlong Sect. ”

"What is that?"

Wang Xuan waved his hand, stopped continuing the topic, and continued to look down.

The island that will be used as a naval base is called Tsukishima, and the adjacent island on the east side is called Hijima, which is named after the shape of the island.

"I'm okay with that, leave the names of the other islands to its first owner. ”

"Yes, what about the rental?"

Wang Xuan said: "Rent it out in batches, there should be a lot of people who want to come and have money to rent the island." In addition, didn't we survey the surrounding islands, some resources can not be listed in the lease details, such as iron ore, jade ore, tin ore, gold ore, etc. are strategic resources and are not open to the public. ”

"That's right, lately, those businessmen have always come to inquire about mineral contracting, and the minister is tireless, and I don't know what His Majesty's charter is. ”

At the beginning, auspicious promised that some mineral resources on the land obtained would be contracted to them, and people were chasing auspicious to fulfill their promises.

"If you say it, the water that will be spilled, except for the minerals of strategic resources, will not be leased to the outside world, and you can do the rest. ”

"The minister knows, and the minister has a matter to report, please make a decision to your majesty. ”

Wang Zhi was talking about trade.

Since the last trade agreement between the two sides, the transaction volume has surged, and now the auspicious goods have been sold out, and people are reluctant to force auspicious to supply.

"They are all competing for the right to supply first, after all, our supply is not large, and the average distribution is too small, which is a drop in the bucket. ”

"Heh, what kind of thing is the most popular at the moment?" Wang Xuan asked.

"If you divide one or two, the first is liquor, the second is daily chemicals, and the third is tools, especially farm tools. ”

Liquor is actually the most popular, which is beyond Wang Xuan's expectations.

He thought that those practical tools would occupy the top spot, but he didn't expect the natives to be so good, this is the tropics.

Drinking liquor on a hot day is terrifying to think about.

"In this way, the quota should be redistributed according to the preferences of the various tribes, and they should be focused, and when the factories are built, they will stop. ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Zhi is gone.

Wang Xuan didn't have the heart to study the map, so he took Yang Tao out of the door, and it was very uncomfortable for his clothes to stick to his body with sweat, so he decided to go for a swim by the stream.

Yang Tao knew that swimming was just an excuse, and seeing other girls was true.

But he didn't say anything, he followed behind with a group of internal guards and ran towards the courtyard.
