The Minister of Commerce Zeng Guohong was also a veteran of the two dynasties. His continued involvement in business and trade not only won the full support of the merchants in Jiangnan and Donghai, but also won the recognition of many financial aristocrats, including the imperial capital's financial circles. In particular, his gentle policies and suggestions for the empire to follow the Tanghe Empire's financial policies to a certain extent made the entire imperial financial circle retain a considerable degree of favor. At least compared with the newly appointed President of the Imperial Central Bank James, his opinions were much calmer. Facing the rule of the new dynasty, many financial families with close ties with the Tanghe Empire and the Situ family were in panic all day long. If an old minister of the previous dynasty came forward to ease his cheeks, it would not be a life-saving straw.

Zeng Guohong had a serious exchange with Wufeng at the beginning of his tenure. The two had surprisingly consistent attitudes on increasing efforts to promote foreign business trade, especially on the issue of continuing to improve the empire's land transportation channels while accelerating the development of sea shipping. The two had the same idea, and gave priority to the development of shipbuilding and shipping industries and even wrote them into the outline of the empire's three-year development plan.

"Mr. Tian, ​​Governor Kong has proposed a series of plans, including a plan to immigrate 50,000 from the Imperial Empire, recruit 50,000 from the Indian and German regions, and 30,000 from Vito, to enrich the East Luzon region. This will not only greatly promote the development of East Luzon, but also counter the population composition of the East Luzon, making the Tang and Indian and Germans dominate." It is supplemented by Xiao Tang, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Government. On this issue, the heads of military and political parties of the Imperial Empire are in the same interests. "The imperial country can recruit immigrants from Beiyuan, Yanyun counties and even Heshuo counties. These three counties are suffering from heavy wars. As long as appropriate support policies are given, let alone 50,000 people, even 500,000 people can be recruited. The Indian and German areas are already crowded with few people, and their ethnic characteristics are not like the Tang people, and they are more willing to move out of the country, so there is no big problem."

"But the Nakui Yangba area has nothing, it can be said to be a barren mountain and ridge. If you want to build a new city, it is afraid that it will cost a lot. Can the financial department support this project now? Or will the Northern Luzon solve this problem by itself?" Wu Feng pondered for a moment. It seemed that both the military and political parties tended to control Eastern Luzon as soon as possible. The government hoped to obtain a resource-rich base, while the military hoped to use it to threaten the entire central part of Luzon.

"The finance can be invested part of the finance, but I'm afraid the central bank also needs to borrow part of the Northern Luzon. In addition, it depends on whether a part of private investment can be introduced. I think that if a complete road transportation system can be built as soon as possible, the rich resources of the eastern Luzon region can fully attract investment in the imperial mainland. As Mr. Zeng said, with population, resources, and good support policies, it is equivalent to having the opportunity to make a fortune. How could the merchants in the empire turn a blind eye?" Xiao Tang smiled, "What's more, the military needs in this regard are even more urgent. Some construction projects can be undertaken by the military in the name of national defense projects. Mr. Bo, don't you?"

"Xiao Xiang, you can't say that. The military has the responsibility to build national defense fortifications, but the government should of course take responsibility for these aspects of road traffic, and it cannot be confused." Bo Jinchen immediately became alert and his words were not leaked.

Seeing that the other party was so sensitive, Xiao Tang stopped exploring it and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to do this. Kong Yunzhen did it in time in advance. Now it's time for the central government to provide support and support. The Luzons will not sit idly by. Maybe they are still stuck in the west and cannot get out of their hands. But once they free up their hands, if East Luzon has not yet built a complete road system, we are afraid that our ideas will be difficult to achieve complete results."

"Xiao Xiang's words are absolutely reasonable. Frederick will not let us do whatever we want. But he is now plagued by South Indians and Deans and Cominey, so we must seize this precious time. As long as the road from Kuiyangba to Liushantaizi is built, it will be useless even if Frederick comes in person. Moreover, once the defense system of Kuiyangba is formed, we can still go south step by step. Robin and the eastern part of Jiyaxi will be our next goal." Bo Jinchen licked his mouth and licked his mouth.

The look of longing appeared on his lips and face, and he obviously wanted to achieve the situation he had imagined: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we need to contact the Pasha people well. Luzon, which annexed Cominei and the Southern Indian Germans, has become a common enemy of the Pasha people and the Empire, and the Western Peninsula Alliance to the southwest is also our enemy. There is a lot of room for cooperation between our two countries in these two aspects. If we can be coordinated, I think we can get more benefits and better results."

As the officials announced the scattering of the dynasty, the ministers retreated in groups of three or three. The etiquette of the Tang Dynasty was much simpler than that of the previous dynasty. Wufeng was originally a person who was not very polite. Under his insistence, the Ministry of Rites had to significantly reduce the etiquette of the court. However, even when even the ministers believed that the etiquette was too simple, it damaged the majesty of the royal family, Wufeng said, "Majesty is in the heart rather than in the form."

There was only one person who stayed, that is Bo Jinchen, the right envoy of the Privy Council of the Empire. It was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor had discussed important matters with his important military officials, and staying after the scattered court also showed that some matters were too unsuitable for disclosure in the court.

"How are you doing in the peninsula area?" When there were only two people left in the hall, Wufeng's spirit seemed to have improved a lot suddenly and his words were shorter.

"I'm basically ready to stop. Lei Juetian has returned to Sanglin City. According to our requirements, they must withdraw from Loushan Pass within half a month, and within one month they must withdraw from Huayang and Yushan. According to the news the day before yesterday, Loushan Pass has been handed over. The Maqi Khan army has withdrawn from Loushan Pass in accordance with the treaty. We have also lifted the material embargo on the Maqi Khans as agreed." Bo Jinchen replied in a deep voice, "It should be said that the threat of the Maqi Khans can come to an end for the time being. Now it's time to free up your hands to consider the southwest issue."

"Well, how are the preparations of the Fourth Legion and the Eighth Legion?" Wu Feng was more concerned about this side. The Maqi Khan hoped to obtain a period of peace to digest the results, while he hoped to free up his hands to solve the problem of the southwest throat channel. It should be said that this hit it off, but in exchange for more concessions from the other party, the empire had to pretend to be serious and support the other party.

"Everything is going on as planned. The Eighth Legion is already entering Baliya. The Sixth Legion has taken over the defense of the Fourth Legion. The Fourth Legion has entered East Samoa, just waiting for His Majesty to issue an order. Mulige has been resentful of the Eighth Legion coming to the southwest. Now he has divided the war and only has the wish. Both legions are now sturdy to see who can take the lead in this war and laugh to the end." Bo Jinchen pursed his lips and smiled faintly. The Emperor in front of him was really a great move to transfer the Eighth Legion to the peninsula. Not only did he immediately mobilize the dissatisfaction of the Fourth Legion, but the Eighth Legion can also take this opportunity to establish its prestige in the southwest.

"Very good, I just hope to see such a situation. What is the performance of Sikkim?" This is the question Wu Feng is most concerned about.

"The Sikkim people have already smelled the smell of war, and their reaction is very fast. The mercenary troops who have been keeping this highly vigilant have begun to cross the Sikkim Strait and enter Nan'an and Western Samoa. They are joining the army of Nan'an and Western Samoa. Their defense force and reserve forces are also undergoing emergency mobilization. It is estimated that all of them should enter the wartime state within a week. We have already arranged the Soktu side. It is expected that the Eighth Legion will be able to cross Soktu within three days. At that time, the Nan'an and Western Samoa will face the pain of being attacked on both sides."

"Well, the Sikkim people are worthy of being the leader of this region and have strong intelligence capabilities. Their diplomatic envoys have already told us diplomats and asked us to explain the military operations in East Samoa and Bali. It seems that it is not easy to solve Nan'an in one fell swoop." Shaking his head, Wufeng picked up the jade ball on the desk. This was a pair of polished jade balls from Lantian Town, Yushan Prefecture, Sanjiang. It is said that holding them in your hands can have the effect of strengthening your body.

"Your Majesty, it is unrealistic to just hope to win the war by going through strange ways. In the end, the war still has to speak with its strength. One or two tactical successes cannot change the entire course of the war. Before we intervene, the Sikkim people can be said to be the overlord of this region, but compared to the empire, it is far from the same level. It is actually causing its own destruction to itself by itself."

"You mean that the Sikkim shouldn't reinforce Nan'an and Western Samoa?" Wufeng asked back.

"If I were the chief corporations of Sikkim, I would not have sent troops to land rashly. Land combat is the strength of our imperial army, and maritime power is Sikkim's advantage. Will the final result be good if it attacks its strengths with its own shortcomings?" Bo Jinchen's words were filled with compassion.
