Mo Zun looked at the location on the map that Lin Jue pointed to with confidence, to the east of the Yan Empire, an ocean.

"The sea?" Mo Zun wondered.

When Lin Jue heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, forgive the grass people's words, this map is at least thirty years ago, right? In the east of the Yan Empire, in addition to a vast ocean, there is also a continent, a continent with few human footprints!"

Mo Zun pondered for a moment and wondered, "Continent?

Lin Jue instantly turned into a black line and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know, do you? More than thirty years ago, a fleet of the Yan Empire discovered a new land in the far east, which was very vast and rich in products, and did not belong to any country or any force. ”

Mo Zun thought for a while, and finally, he remembered this piece of land that he had deliberately forgotten. This land, the Orlante Kingdom really has no ability and no need to touch it, he frowned and asked, "But what does this continent have to do with these problems?"

Lin Jue shook his head helplessly, sure enough, the people of this world did not pay the slightest attention to such a distant land, and almost all the monarchs, including the emperor of the Yan Empire, did not realize what a new continent meant to this world and to countries with huge population pressure.

Lin Jue explained: "Your Majesty, perhaps in your opinion, the value of such a distant land is far less than that of this desert in front of you, and other countries, the five major powers, the land is relatively rich, and there is no need for such a large piece of land, so you haven't paid much attention to it." Other small countries, too busy to take care of themselves, naturally did not pay attention to this land. If any, they have been visited, mostly by private organizations, and no country has officially set foot in this far-flung land. However, this land is the only solution to the internal problems of the kingdom at present. ”

"Unlike a desert in China, this land has a pleasant climate, abundant products, and no one inhabited, and I think this is the only impression people in the world have of this land. If the Kingdom of Orlante can intervene in this land first, send a large number of people to reclaim the wasteland, establish cities, and send troops, it will not be long before we will have the first colony here. With this one base, expand outward, and after many years, this fertile land will provide us with a huge amount of food. There are too many people in the country and it is overcrowded, and if a large number of people can be transported to this land in the name of the state, the population pressure in the country can also be relieved. The most important point is that there is no forest in the territory of the Orlante Kingdom, and it is impossible to build ships, but we can set up a shipyard in the New World, where there are a large number of towering giant trees, as long as there are enough personnel, in a few years, our navy will be free to gallop the sea. We can also build a large number of transport ships for trade, and have a strong navy to escort us, so why not fear the small raids, and when all this is done, why fear the coercion of the Yan Empire and the Smollen Kingdom?"

Listening to Lin Jue's bold words, Mo Zun was a little moved, and said excitedly: "Do you have a specific implementation plan for these things?"

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although I have a specific implementation plan now, there are a few problems that need to be solved first, if these problems are not solved, then everything is empty talk." ”

Mo Zun asked, "What's the problem?"

"First, the kingdom does not have a transport ship capable of carrying out such a large-scale operation, and second, there is no money. ”

Mo Zun laughed and said, "No money, when it comes to money, how can the Orlante Kingdom, as a trade route between the two great powers, be short of money?"

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the current people will not have any enthusiasm for immigrating to the New World, they can only take a series of inducement measures in the early stage, and the funds spent may be astronomical, even if it will cost millions of gold coins, no, tens of millions of gold coins is not too much." ”

Ten million gold coins!?Mo Zun raised his eyebrows and asked, "It seems that you have a plan, what do you say?"

Lin Jue said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this problem of transport ships is not difficult to solve, and it can be purchased from other countries." In addition, I would like to ask Your Majesty to set up two special institutions, the first is the National Eastern Continental Trading Company, and the second is the National Ship Research Institute. ”

"What does the Eastern Continent Trading Company do?" Mo Zun wondered.

Of course, the Eastern Continent Trading Company is a company specializing in the trading and management of the Eastern Continent? What else can it do? Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and suddenly understood, perhaps, in this world, there should not be such a concept of the joint-stock system, right? Maybe this system will have to be explained again.

"Your Majesty, how easy is it to start the colonization movement in the Eastern Continent? With the financial resources of the royal family, or the financial resources of one party, 10,000 gold coins or 100,000 gold coins? You may not understand this, but let me ask you a question, what kind of people does Your Majesty think is the richest group in the whole world?"

Mo Zun instantly replied: "Then it doesn't need to be said, of course, it is the princes and nobles. ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "Purely about being rich, indeed, the people with the most money are the princes and nobles. However, Your Majesty, what I want to say is that the richest group in the world is the common people! Perhaps an ordinary person, no matter how he compares, he is not as good as a prince or nobleman. But Your Majesty thinks that all the people in the world, when their assets are added together, and the assets of all the princes and nobles, which kind of people will be the richest?"

Mo Zun was silent for a moment and replied, "It's the people." ”

Lin Jue nodded and responded: "That's right, it's the people." If we open a company in the name of the state that specializes in the affairs of the Eastern Continent, and the state grants this company the following privileges: the privilege of organizing mercenaries, trade concessions, colonial administration, etc., and the ownership of the entire company is sold in the form of shares, and the shares sold are called shares, and all those who buy the company's shares are called shareholders, and then in the name of the kingdom as a guarantee, once the company is set up and begins to make a profit, and every year the profit is earned, dividends will be distributed to all the shareholders, Your Majesty, I don't think this trick can raise much money, but it is much more cost-effective than a single party to contribute capital。 ”

Mo Zun's eyes were a little hot, and he said uncertainly: "This ...... Do you think the people will obediently hand over the money in their hands?"

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you can rest assured of this, in other countries, I don't dare to guarantee it." But in the kingdom of Orlante, there is no need to worry about this. The main economic source of the whole country is to rely on the income from trade, and the capital of the people of the country is too large, on the contrary, it is the lack of living materials, money, not a problem. ”

Mo Zun waved his hand and said, "Yes, then what does the National Ship Research Institute mean?"

Lin Jue said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you remember the ship engineer who was imprisoned in the prison?"

Mo Zun frowned and said, "Do you mean Jiang Quan?"

"That's right! Cao Min implores Your Majesty to be the person in charge of the National Ship Research Institute, and he will organize a ship research team to design excellent warships for our country, and when the colonization of the Eastern Continent improves a little, several shipyards can be established in the Eastern Continent, and the designed drawings will be built into an invincible fleet across the seven seas!"

"Yes, both things are led by you, if you have any needs, just come to me. ”

"Yes!"

Mo Zun was silent for a moment, playing with taste: "Lin Jue, you can propose so many good policies to save the country today, I'm afraid there is already a gap in your heart, why did you propose it to me until today? I'm afraid it's not just a whim, devoting yourself to serving the country, right?"

It was seen through, and sure enough, it suddenly appeared, and suddenly offered advice, and every plan hit the king's heart, and it was indeed strange for anyone to think of it.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly in her heart: "Where is there a ditch for the sake of her own life, first, for the sake of her own life, and secondly, she has an appointment with a certain little beauty first, her identity is too important, the central continent currently has no development prospects, the only way to fulfill her wish is to create a world in exchange for her freedom." I just rummaged through the templates of many European powers, and stole them by merging them with a gourd and drawing a scoop. Maybe there is a bit of a loss of pride, I have already lost face to thousands of traversers, as a traverser, if you don't struggle to create a world, how can you be worthy of the word traversal?"

Lin Jue saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have only one request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it." ”

Mo Zun squinted his eyes, stared at Lin Jue tightly, and said, "Say, what a request." ”

Lin Jue said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in three years, I will use a strong navy as a dowry, and I hope that Your Majesty will marry Her Royal Highness the princess to me." ”
