In ancient times, there were very few people who could name places after themselves, and some of them were all virtuous or the kind of people with the right to the sky, if they could name a place name after themselves, it would be simply the supreme glory, and it could be passed down from generation to generation, and the descendants of future generations would not know which one did not know, which was undoubtedly an honor that Liu Xinnan could not imagine!

Xiao Ming decided to name the continent he discovered after "Xinnanzhou", this arrangement suddenly made Liu Xinnan grateful, he was embarrassed on the ground, Zeng Jinquan did not expect Xiao Ming to have such courage and arrangement, and he was shocked at the moment, but when he thought of Xiao Ming's actual intentions, he was also calm. 【 High Quality Update 】

Using Liu Xinnan's name to name this continent will undoubtedly make Liu Xinnan sincerely attached, and even if Zhao Deshen, the prince of Ding, finds Liu Xinnan again in the future, he will not be able to get his wish, Liu Xinnan will be determined to hand over this continent to the country, and at present, only Richanglong can have the strength to develop this continent.

Xiao Ming is fully capable of operating this, Richang Long can represent the Great Song Dynasty to develop the "New Nanzhou", then the benefits obtained are undoubtedly the greatest, Zeng Jinquan has tried his best to mediate in this matter, and the future benefits will naturally be indispensable to him, not to mention that only three people know about this matter at present.

But Xiao Ming doesn't think so, for the overall development of Australia is a very long process, relying solely on the Richanglong family is definitely not good, this must be the strength of the whole country, if Richanglong eats alone, not only will make many people red, but also will invisibly set up a lot of enemies.

And he must find a capable person to support this matter, this person is not only super capable but also has sleek handling skills, and is well versed in the rules of officialdom, and the most important point is that he must be greedy enough, and at this time the name of a person in his head happened to come out.

"That's him!" Xiao Ming said secretly in his heart.

After the arrangement, Liu Xinnan rested, Xiao Ming and Zeng Jinquan discussed the normal declaration procedures, and there were some complicated procedures to be done, because Zeng Jinquan was also responsible for the Great Song Ocean Trade Bureau, Xiao Ming secretly told him to appropriately increase the tariff ratio of expensive luxury goods such as jewelry, diamonds, coral, and rhino horn.

This ratio is a bit large, for the present, there are many categories of expensive luxury jewelry, not only jewelry, jade, overseas treasures, but also many special spices and specialties, why did Xiao Ming do this? That's because he needs to control the current flow of hot money to investment in the Great Song Dynasty.

At present, due to the development of overseas trade, many overseas treasures have flowed to the Great Song Dynasty, and the ordinary people's hobby of this kind of treasures and luxury goods is really extensive, and this market has always been very hot! In the eyes of the general public, general infrastructure and engineering construction are obviously not a good area for investment.

A large amount of spare money has flowed to the field of buying overseas luxury goods, although it has fattened overseas trade, but it has damaged the market that continues to have a large amount of money for domestic construction, two days ago when Ai Qili was preparing to issue municipal bonds for urban renovation, Xiao Ming gave him an analysis of the current form of the capital market, and for Ai Qili's support, so Xiao Ming and Zeng Jinquan instructed him today.

Of course, Zeng Jinquan will act according to Xiao Ming's instructions, and the two discussed the details, Hangzhou City is the leader, once it takes action, it is necessary to let Guangzhou and Quanzhou and other cities take action at the same time in a very short period of time, and Pu Shougeng and his son of Guangzhou and Quanzhou City will definitely not act according to Xiao Ming's intentions.

Xiao Ming instructed Zeng Jinquan to return to Hangzhou as soon as possible the next day, his whereabouts had been exposed, otherwise there would be no hijacking, while Liu Xinnan stayed in the capital and handed over to Xiao Ming to arrange, Zeng Jinquan said goodbye and left, and returned to Hangzhou early the next morning, while Xiao Ming arranged Liu Xinnan to another safe residence the next day.

However, on the second day, Xiao Ming convened a cabinet meeting, and as the prime minister, he certainly had the right to convene a meeting at any time, and Xiao Ming reported the discovery of the new continent to the cabinet, claiming that the discoverer was willing to completely hand over the right to develop the continent to the state, and hoped that the cabinet would make a public commendation and study the development of the new continent.

Liu Ziyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Today, the family of Dingwang Zhao Deshen reported that his own printing and dyeing workshop in the southern suburbs was broken into and injured many people by a group of masked gangsters yesterday, and many machines and equipment were destroyed, which seems to be related to this person who discovered the new continent!" ”

"Did the news spread quickly?" Xiao Ming thought: "It seems that Zhao Deshen, the king of Ding, is probably already in a hurry, seeing a large amount of wealth passing in front of him and not being able to get it, it seems that this is more uncomfortable than anything else!" ”

Wu Yong, the first auxiliary minister, said: "This person actually handed over the discovered continent to the country, I think he must also think that he is a loyal and righteous person, but this person can be summoned into the cabinet to ask in detail, if the development interests are indeed huge, then my Great Song Dynasty has added another piece of the colony outside the South Seas, which is a good thing!" I suggest that the state dedicate resources to development. ”

Zhu Yi, the head of the household department, said: "But the cost of such development is too huge, and the household department is now facing the third batch of loans that need to be returned to the Royal First Bank, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with so much money!" Is it not for the government to appoint special big businesses and let them develop them, and we will give him a certain amount of benefits! ”

Everyone: "That's a good idea!" Many people agreed.

Xiao Ming said: "This matter is not trivial, not only a simple development matter, judging from the current situation, we still lack the necessary support in the periphery of Tiannan Prefecture in Nanyang, and the problem of Jiaozhi Li Yue has not been solved, plus Siam, which guards the golden waterway in Temasek and other places!" If the Great Song Dynasty wants to solve many problems at the same time, it must be considered as a whole. ”

Wu Yong asked: "How is the training situation in Qiongzhou?" Recently, Li Yue seems to have taken action, Lord Liu and Lord Wu, please give us a brief introduction to the situation. ”

Liu Qi said: "The more than 20,000 royal guards trained by Li Xianzhong in Qiongzhou have formed combat effectiveness, and they are familiar with the way of jungle warfare there, and they have also obtained the latest weapons from the Hangzhou Arsenal!" But relying entirely on the 20,000 Guards is not enough to form military pressure on Li Yue Jiaozhi, and they still need the support of the Naval Division! ”

Wu Jue said: "Ji Tong, the commander of the Navy, will consider whether to give support to the Qiongzhou Guards Naval Division, but there is definitely no problem in sending warships to support, the key is that the focus of logistics supply is there, whether it is in Guangzhou or in the nearest Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”

Everyone also expressed some opinions, and the center of the topic naturally shifted to the battle against Li Yue, which made Xiao Ming very helpless, it seems that the topic will run away from ancient times! He stood up and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the victory or defeat of my Great Song Dynasty against Li Yue's Jiaozhi battle? ”

Liu Qi said: "I will not lose this battle!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! How could the Great Song Dynasty be defeated? Everyone agreed, thinking that now with the force of the Great Song Dynasty, dealing with the small Jiaozhi Li Yue Dynasty is not a piece of cake? How can you lose the battle? They all feel that Xiao Ming is a bit too cautious on this question!

Xiao Ming said: "That's true, you adults also think that we will not lose the war, but what is the purpose of a war?" Is it just about winning? So what are we bothering to do? Every war is a matter of achieving a certain strategic goal for me! If we defeat Li Yue and force Siam to become a vassal, then what should we do next? ”

After Xiao Ming's words were finished, everyone looked at each other and said nothing, it was not that everyone didn't know what to do next, but they didn't know what kind of medicine Xiao Ming was selling in this gourd? Everyone is still accustomed to figuring out the meaning of those in power, this is due to habit, Xiao Ming also knows that it can't be changed at once, so he still tells everyone thoroughly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Great Song Dynasty is currently invincible, war is just a means of politics, and now the things in front of us are like this, first of all, there are many nomads in the north, they need a lot of grassland pastures, and the people of my Central Plains need more arable land to develop agriculture, this is the biggest contradiction! But we can't drive those northland herders north, because the Arctic is too cold for animal husbandry, so what should we do? ”

Xiao Ming's thinking is very clear, he just needs to sort out his language: "We also need wool and northern fur and even dairy products of cattle and sheep, this is a dilemma, these years of the great migration policy, we have moved a large number of people to fill the empty population in the north, within ten years, once the population grows, the contradiction with the northern herdsmen will come"

Wu Yong had followed Xiao Ming for many years, and he immediately realized what Xiao Ming wanted to say, "Does Taishi want to move them to the south?" ”

Xiao Ming nodded and said: "Exactly, this continent has been named "Great Song New Nanzhou", there are tens of millions of acres of pasture grassland, which can graze cattle, sheep and horses, and the climate is warm and spring-like, this is the best arrangement."

"But this is another huge immigration operation!" Wu Yongdao.

"In fact, it is not huge, but it costs money, before this, the development of New South Prefecture must be carried out first, but the development is too huge, even Richanglong can not eat, we must mobilize the funds of the powerful big businesses and large owners in the country, where the rich wealth is all returns, even gold and silver mines, copper and iron ore!"

Convinced that he had successfully turned the conversation back, Xiao continued: "With such a huge development plan in the early stage, let's think about how much manpower is needed. How much financial resources are needed? So the war against the Jiaozhi Li Yue Dynasty was the preparation for all this! We don't just want people, we want money! ”

Everyone immediately understood Xiao Ming's intentions, all along, it seems that before every action, Xiao Ming will have a long-term plan, and this time is no exception, everyone is talking about it, or Wu Yong raised the question: "Taishi, this matter obviously can't be managed by the cabinet distraction, there must be a full-time organization?" ”

"Well said!" Xiao Ming boasted: "It is true that the cabinet cannot do it full-time, but there must be an agency that will do this full-time by him, and we only need to authorize him!" I think this organization is called: Dasong New South Prefecture Development and Investment Promotion Bureau! Quasi-official institutions, just give a system of powers! ”

Wu Yong asked again: "How do we supervise this matter?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Your supervision is too strict, and it is no good to be treated, so who else will do this?" So let it go for them, they can catch a little if they can, as long as it's not too excessive, and the work is done! Isn't it Lord Wu? Ha ha......! ”

Wu Yong thought about it, so he nodded and agreed, this matter was decided by the cabinet, and he naturally needed to greet the supervisors, so although Feng Lu was old, he also knew that some things did not need to be too serious, anyway, he was working on the establishment of a court to prepare for the two-chamber cabinet system of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was not idle about this matter.

"The stakes of this China Merchants Bureau are very important, who is qualified for this position?" Someone asked.

Xiao Ming said: "I have already selected this candidate, put it forward and discuss it with you to see if he is suitable!" ”

Everyone: "The Taishi must be a talent, please speak"

Xiao Ming said: "This person is Xue Bingchang!" ”
