Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 647: Bundling interests, joining forces

 "That's right." Feng Ziying also admitted, "It's not just about selling these rights in advance, but more importantly, I plan to operate Liaodong as Shandong in the future."

King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui both listened attentively.

This must be supported by Qi Yongtai. If the land of Liaodong is really destroyed after the Jurchens in Jianzhou, it will be decided by Feng Ziying.

Liaodong is rich in products, which is why it is like this because of its sparse population and the raging Jurchens in Jianzhou.

The Jurchens in Jianzhou were solved, and now shipping is far more developed than it was ten years ago. The multi-masted sailing ships introduced from the Western Yi are even more widely used. They are not only suitable for offshore seas, but also for distant seas, with a larger load capacity.

The two to three hundred miles sea route to and from Jinzhou has become as smooth as a road.

That is to say, the road condition from Jinzhou to Liaoyang and Shenyang along the axis of the Liaodong Peninsula is not very good. If this road can be repaired, then the conditions in Liaodong will be far better than those in east Luzon. If we really want to relocate people, it will be impossible.

No one wants to go to Dongfan and Luzon, even if they are given money.

"The sea route from Dengzhou to Jinzhou is actually more than 300 miles. If there is a favorable wind, it only takes two days by boat. The climate in Liaodong may be slightly colder, but the land is fertile. Liaodong is no less than Shandong.

, Shandong is a small and densely populated area. I know very well that the people have to relocate to their homeland. Let them go to Luzon and Dongfan. The climate is different and it is more remote. It may not be a matter of life and death. It is difficult to persuade them, but Liaodong is very difficult.

The vast land in Liaodong is still very attractive to them if it is nearby, has a similar climate, and especially if it is easily accessible by air and can travel at any time."

Feng Ziying didn't hide anything and talked about her intentions freely.

"Since the Zhou Dynasty wanted to take over Liaodong and deal with the Jurchens, it must treat Liaodong as its own homeland and run it well. It cannot be like the previous Ming Dynasty when it established a slave Gandu Division to govern and govern it. Liaodong Province must be established.

At least one or two million people must be moved from places like Shandong, Hebei, and Henan. Only then can you truly build Liaodong into a bridgehead for our Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and only then can you be qualified to visit places like Ezo and Kuwu."

"If there are no people, how can we talk about opening up the territory? But if you want to attract people, you can't just rely on coercion by the court's policies. After all, it is a wasteland. Everything has to be started from scratch. The original foundation has been lost long ago.

It’s almost done, then some businessmen have to offer better conditions to attract them. That’s what I had in mind. If the Anfu businessmen have experience, I will use them and others will help.”

Relocating one or two million people to Liaodong is really a big idea. Now that the imperial court in Dongfang has to build a government office, it only has how many people?

If one or two million people really moved to Liaodong, then it would be a proper province rather than a separate province.

However, Liaodong is a vast territory with widespread forests, rivers, grasslands and swamps. It is much larger than Shandong in terms of area. One or two million people seems to be a lot. It would not be surprising if it really spreads out.

Therefore, Feng Ziying also plans to relocate people from Beijing to Henan, provide better conditions, and businessmen provide stronger and more comprehensive guarantees to support, so that this relocation policy can become a national policy and continue.

If even a fertile place like Liaodong cannot promote the relocation policy, let alone the advancement of the west in the future, this can be regarded as a preview of the future expansion of the west.

King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui probably understood Feng Ziying's idea. This guy is not just going to Liaodong to fight a battle. He has already determined the plan for Liaodong for the next ten or even twenty years. Of course, he cannot stay in Liaodong.

Ten or twenty years later, he wanted to determine the future development path of Liaodong and let future generations develop along this path.

He even proposed that Liaodong should be used as a base for operating areas such as Ezo and Kugu, which are bitter cold but rich in products.

In fact, for the high-ranking officials in Beijing, the colder the land, the more lucrative it is. Fur, ginseng, deer antlers, and gold sand are the traditional four treasures of Liaodong. Monopolizing any of them can bring huge fortunes.

As for Ezo, the same is true for Kuwu. According to what Feng Ziying mentioned earlier, Denrai has begun to try to use large ships to fish, especially whaling. This industry is extremely profitable, and the whole body of the whale is usable. As for Ezo,

Kuwu will also become an important foundation for the whaling industry in the future, which makes them both excited.

"Ziying, I wonder if it's too late for us two brothers to join in?" King Zhonghui finally couldn't help it anymore.

After he resigned as the governor of the Beijing Camp, he stopped thinking about other things and focused solely on seeking economic benefits for his people.

Although the imperial court was wary of the political trends of the Zhang family, it was tolerant and supportive of the Zhang family's pursuit of economic interests, especially those like King Zhongshun and King Zhonghui who had always been closer to the mainstream of the court.

You can get involved first in everything.

When Haitong Bank was established, King Zhonghui also joined, but he was far less bold and decisive than his brother, King Zhongshun. Now it seems to be a big mistake. My brother can ignore everything else now, just relying on Haitong Bank.

Guzi, all the people in his family, his children and grandchildren can enjoy it without any worries.

This is the benefit of following Feng Ziying in the right direction. Now a new opportunity has emerged. With Feng Ziying's plan, Liaodong will definitely be Feng Ziying's sphere of influence in the future. Even if he is the successor, he must be one of his own chosen by Feng Ziying. If

If we can get a foothold in Liaodong territory early, it may become a stable source of income in the future.

Feng Ziying was a little surprised when she heard King Zhonghui speak.

There are indeed huge benefits in Liaodong, but it will probably be ten years before we see the benefits. This is not in line with their original approach.

"Your Majesty, you must understand that whether it is relocation or development, the Jurchen queen in Jianzhou must be annihilated, but the initial investment cannot be stopped, including the infrastructure construction of roads, water conservancy, and ports. The imperial court will not

Maybe after investing so much, I would have to raise funds on my own, that is, looking for money from businessmen all over the place. The return will definitely not be bad, but it may be a long-term process, and it will take ten or twenty years to recover the capital and profit."

King Zhonghui nodded, "I understand, but it will definitely be stable for a long time, right?"

"That's natural." Feng Ziying is quite sure of this. "Liaodong seems remote now, but once it develops, it will become its base for North Korea, Ezo, Kuwu, and the farther north..."

King Zhonghui nodded slightly, "If you look at it this way, then there is no problem. I will recognize your vision."
