In the 24th year, it was a year of peace for the entire Nanyang countries, most of the countries were involved in the war, their domestic production was stagnant, and I don't know how much this year's year-end tax can be collected, and all countries have introduced policies to resume production and economic recovery, and the long-awaited peace has finally arrived, and the first thing that happened is large-scale trade activities. During the war, the merchants did not trade with foreign countries except for the transportation of goods, and their goods were piled up in large quantities.

So the state of war was lifted, the first to act was the merchants, the original Malacca has become a wreckage, so Natuna and Guangzhou became their first choice, their plan is to go to Lakshmi to trade, if it is sold out, it is natural to go home, if it is not sold out, buy other goods from Lakshmi and go to Guangzhou to trade again, and then receive the goods from Guangzhou and then run back a circle.

In recent days, the port of Natuna has obviously felt the pressure, the flow of people in Natuna has increased a lot, and it is fortunate that two docks have been repaired, otherwise the pressure on the port will probably be greater, this is a test for them, if Natuna can't bear it, the countries can make a fuss about it, and then Lakshmi's entertainment will be on the leeward side, and those merchants will not want to come to trade in the end, then the gains outweigh the losses.

So the officials of Natuna hurriedly expanded the port of Natuna, the original scale of the port of Natuna is not small, covering half of the coast of Natuna Island, now the officials plan to transform the entire coast into a port, the construction of the port is to mobilize all kinds of top construction workers from the country to be responsible for the construction of the port, this plan has also been approved by the Penglu, all the large-scale projects in the country have been stopped, all the engineering teams have been basically stopped, they have a temporary task, to expand Natuna, the expansion involves ports, roads, The purpose of the expansion is to prevent future troubles.

On February 3, the 24th year of Zheng, the king of Lancang led a diplomatic team to Vijaya for a diplomatic visit. The officials naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly solved the lifelong event of the Pengyu, and they were relieved.

In addition to arranging a meeting between the two sides, Faang came here to seek economic cooperation, most of Lancang is in a mountainous area, the population is sparse, and the economic recovery is very slow. Although Faon has a very strong army, without a material foundation, the army is not very well protected.

After reading the report brought by Faang's trip, he began to look at it page by page, and the number of people responsible for agricultural production accounted for 90% of the country's population, but even so, there was still a lot of vacant land that had not been cultivated. Then I flipped to the next page, and there were more than 200,000 standing troops. Big brother, you have so many troops, can't you dismiss them a little and let them go back to farming?

After a general glance, I didn't find any major problems in other aspects.

"Since the current national strategy is economic recovery, why not reduce the number of domestic troops, which can reduce military spending and increase domestic output value." ”

Faon said that the number of standing troops could not be reduced in the slightest, and his attitude was resolute and did not waver in the slightest.

Ji Pengyu shook his head, now that the Nanyang region is close to peace, what do you want so many troops to do. Could it be to swallow Sukhothai? Can Ayuthia agree? He was puzzled, and now under the expansion of Fa'ang, in addition to the Lao region being unified by him, part of the Khmer and part of Sukhothai were incorporated into the country by him.

It can be said that he can be regarded as the number one in the history of the Lao clan, and maybe Faang's ambitions don't stop there.

He knew that there were still a lot of minerals in Lancang, so it was better to mine, after all, minerals are still quite profitable.

"Since I don't want to reduce the number of troops, I have another way." He was already interested in Lancang's minerals.

"Brother, say it quickly." Faon couldn't wait.

"Mining." He only said two words.

"Mining?" The people of Faon were stunned, they did not know what mineral products were in their country, except for the gold produced in Luang Prabang, of course. Is it to dig for gold?

"Yes, yes, looking at the mountains in your country, there must be a certain reserve of minerals, what copper, iron, if we find that we are willing to help you mine, we can also process it for you at a low price, and you don't have to worry about selling it when the time comes, we can also help sell it with one click, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it." Pengqiao Road.

Faang breathed a sigh of relief, not for my gold, that's good, a large amount of gold into the market, will also lead to the depreciation of gold, silver and other currencies will also be affected, this gold is also ready to be left for future generations, and will be used when it is urgently needed.

"If there is, that's fine." Faon couldn't find any minerals at all, and if there were, he would have started mining a long time ago, after all, who wouldn't want to be a mine boss.

"If you can find it, it would be great." Faon Road.

Therefore, the two sides discussed the issue of mineral exploration and mining, and the experts of both sides first explored the mineral situation in various parts of Lancang, and then decided on the development of minerals.

Later, the two sides also discussed commercial issues, and the two sides obtained the right to trade all the commodities in the whole Lancang, and every once in a while the Zhan side sent people to various parts of Lancang to buy products and return to China, or the merchants sent the goods to the Cham for trade, and the two sides also signed a non-competitive trade agreement.

The Pengyu was in a good mood and won the right to trade commodities in Lancang, which was naturally exported to Lakshmi, and the more Lakshmi's trade products, the better.

The diplomatic activities between the two sides soon came to an end, and Faang introduced his daughter, the princess of Lancang Kingdom, to make Pengyu take a look and feel good. And the princess of the Lancang Kingdom also happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other like this. Faon glanced at the two men with interest, and then withdrew, letting the two young men talk. Seeing the situation, the others also retreated.

He was also a little embarrassed, why were there only two people left now, he could only say hello awkwardly and said, "Hi~"

As soon as he said it, he realized that something was wrong, how could they understand English, so he changed his words and said, "Well, hello." ”

Princess Lancang remembered what Fa'ang had said, this king was fluent in many foreign languages, and that strange pronunciation must have been in other languages.
