Gu Ji's answer immediately caused considerable controversy among the people. The decline of the Tanghe Empire in recent years once made these passionate scholars depressed. However, with the unification of Western Xinjiang, the scholars saw the hope of the revival of the Tang clan again. Western Xinjiang has come to the forefront of the entire empire in these aspects. Although it has not done enough, it has already taken a good start. Gu Ji's words are clearly intended to suppress His Highness the King of Qin, which makes all the supporters without a head a little angry, including Gu Hua.

"Brother, no matter what, His Highness of Qin is far better than any emperor of the Situ Dynasty in terms of foresight and insight. Look at what the Situ family has ruined our Tang clan over the past century? The Liberians, Maqikhans, and even the Japanese have to suppress us. Is it tolerant? The Tanghe Empire is indeed a little ignored by the issue of sea power you mentioned just now, but I think His Highness of Qin attaches great importance to it. It is said that His Highness of Qin has built a powerful navy in the South Ocean and also established a naval academy in East Samoa. Now, part of the sovereignty of the Mawen Islands, which originally belonged to the South Ocean Alliance, belongs to us. This fully proves that His Highness of Qin attaches great importance to sea power. We will definitely take back what the Japanese have taken from Situ Tai, and we will also have to make the Japanese pay the price. I believe that His Highness of Qin will be able to do it once he ruled the world."

Gu Hua was obviously a little dissatisfied with his brother pouring cold water on him. Although he was extremely respectful to his brother, he would not give in to the debate on these views.

"The fourth brother of Gu is right. I heard that the Western Xinjiang Government Affairs Office is also drafting a policy to encourage the development of overseas shipping. The Tang Empire will introduce a series of preferential policies to encourage people to trade with foreign countries and participate in foreign adventures and explorations. This also proves that His Highness Qin has also realized the problems of our current situation. The ocean will play an increasingly important role in the rise and fall of an empire. His Highness Qin can prepare for the future and take the lead in bringing the peninsula into the rule of Western Xinjiang. This also fully proves His Highness Qin's far-sighted vision. Now the Empire of the South Ocean has achieved an excellent sea outlet and has gained a strategic location on the Mawen Islands. The entire South Ocean has become an indispensable trade channel for our empire. The East Ocean and the South Ocean are like the wings of our empire, which is enough to take big steps to drive the national strength of all aspects of the empire to develop significantly."

The man in brown shirt who said this was a little older. When he mentioned His Highness the King of Qin's deadly Qingyan's face was full of respect. He knew that he was also a loyal supporter of Wufeng. Seeing that Wufeng was very concerned about this person, Gu Ji quietly turned his head and whispered: "Ge Xingchang, one of the eight sons of the imperial capital, was originally from Cangzhou Prefecture, Yanyun County, and was very literary. He was formerly an official of the General Administration of the Tanghe Empire."

"Our Eastern Continent generally does not attach much importance to maritime rights and interests. Even the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance only regard maritime transportation as a relatively convenient and cheap trade channel. In fact, they do not pay attention to things outside the coast. For example, hundreds of islands in the Mawen Islands, the Nanyang Alliance has almost not been developed. Except for a very small number of them used for military purposes, almost all the others are abandoned. This situation is simply unimaginable if it is in the Western Continent." Another young man sitting next to a mixed-race beauty also continued. It seems that this person also seems to be concerned about the Western Continent.

I have some understanding of some situations on the land, and I am full of energy when speaking. "I traveled in the Aegean Sea and the Baltic Sea last year, especially in the Aegean Sea. The city-states and urban republics attached great importance to sea rights beyond imagination. Even if anyone dares to infringe on the ordinary merchant ship's right to inspect, it may trigger a war between the two countries. I don't know how many battles and repeated battles have been fought over every island on the Aegean Sea. In the Eastern Continent, hundreds of islands were abandoned in vain. How can such a huge gap not make people feel heartbroken?"

Seeing Wufeng's eyes flashing, Gu Ji knew that Wufeng was afraid of becoming interested in this guy again, so he nodded slightly and said, "Cao Li, one of the eight sons of the imperial capital, once served in the Imperial Foreign Affairs Office, and later resigned and traveled around. It is said that he had also visited the Leeds Kingdom on the Storm Ocean. He was good at treating people and was proficient in Lanian and Tianfang languages, and was a talent."

The debate on the issue of maritime power immediately aroused great interest among the people surrounded by the charcoal furnace, especially Gu Hua's various policies of Western Xinjiang to attach importance to maritime power in the South China Sea Autonomous Territory were vividly discussed. Starting from the various measures taken by the Governor's Office in the South China Sea, it encouraged the establishment of shipyards, and the government invested in the shipyard to expand the scale, encouraged overseas trade, and rewarded marine exploration and mapping, which aroused heated discussions among all scholars. Instead, Gu Ji and Wufeng became two idle people, and no one talked to them.

"Guji, it seems that your Guhua is very interested in the situation in the peninsula area. He even knows the details of the local government's investment in various shipyards. If he is not a member of your Gu family, I would almost doubt whether he is a Japanese or a spy from the Nanyang Alliance."

"Haha, Gu Hua has always been very interested in shipping. Most of our Gu family industries are mainly land transportation and do not get involved in sea and river transportation. However, Ahua has always advocated that we, Gu Ji, should invest in sea transportation, and believe that the development potential of sea transportation in the East Continent is huge, especially now that the upper peninsula of the South Ocean has been connected with the southern part of the empire. The structure of sea-land transportation has been formed and should have considerable prospects." Gu Ji said with a smile, but he was quite proud in his tone.

"Well, I can't see that your Guhua is quite good at this. Our empire originally lags behind other regions in the ocean. Now the land transportation line in the peninsula is gradually improving, and commercial trade exchanges with the Chinese and Western mainland will only become more and more frequent. The three major ports in the peninsula will play an important role. In the future, trade exchanges between Wuhu, Sanjiang, Tiannan, Myanmar and Chinese mainland will all pass through this route. Early investment should achieve considerable benefits." Wu Feng also responded with a smile, but his eyes fell on the mixed-race girl who had been paying attention to the two of them with his own light.

The mixed-race girl began to pay attention to the two since she sat down, but she did not focus on Gu Ji like others, but kept observing Wu Feng, which surprised Wu Feng. Logically speaking, as Gu Ji, she was just a guest and should not focus on herself, but this mixed-race girl was persistent in paying attention to herself, which was indeed a bit strange.

"Mr. Tang, I heard that you are from the Central Mainland, and my hometown is also in the Central Mainland. I haven't been back for many years. I wonder if Mr. Tang can introduce the situation in the Central Mainland now?" Wu Feng appeared as a businessman from Northern Luzon, and the mixed-race girl finally brought the topic to Wu Feng, who had been sitting there.

"Oh? Miss Kumena is probably from Indian Dean? I have been to Indian Dean several times. I wonder which tribe Miss Kumena's ancestral home is?" Wu Feng was also full of interest in this mixed-race beauty. This girl seemed to have mixed the advantages of white and yellow people, and also brought the charm of Indian Dean. Her round face revealed a healthy and fresh atmosphere, which was completely different from the pity-provoking and beautiful woman next to her.

"My father was originally from the Yakuan tribe, and his mother was from the Western Continent." Yanran smiled, her fluffy brown hair was casually spread on her shoulders, and she was indescribably pure and charming.

"Well, Yakuan tribe, it seems that there is not much stability there now. It seems that it is very troubled due to religious reasons. I haven't been there for a long time. I'm more dealing with merchants from Hyderabad and Pangzha." Although I have not set foot on the Indian and German land since I left Indian and German, it does not mean that Wufeng does not understand the situation of Indian and German. The intelligence department will send Wufeng detailed information to him almost every week, especially now that the situation in Indian and German areas is changing rapidly. Although on the way back to the imperial capital, Wufeng did not relax his attention to the situation in India and German at all.

"I heard that the Holy Spirit Church from the Western Continent caused a lot of trouble in my hometown Yakuan tribe because of missionary issues. I wonder if that is the case?"

The topics that the mixed-race girl paid attention to made Wu Feng a little wary. The Yakuan tribe is now in trouble because of the Holy Spirit missionary issue. The Yakuan people in the middle and upper classes have gradually received the baptism of the Holy Spirit religion and changed to the Holy Spirit religion. However, the lower class people do not have the awareness of the middle and upper class nobles. They still insist on their original beliefs and refuse to bow to the Holy Spirit religion. The riots caused by this have spread throughout the region. For a time, blood is everywhere, people are rolling in. Sharp faith conflicts have become the biggest crisis in the Yakuan area. However, even the people in the neighboring areas are not very clear about this kind of thing. How can an ordinary woman far away from the Indian and German areas be so clear and concerned about it? Even if she is originally from Indian and German areas, it is unlikely that she will be.
