Chapter 934: The Beginning of the Great Voyage

After drawing the grand blueprint, the next step is to divide the cake in detail. This is also the most uneasy part of everyone's heart. Negotiations require bargaining chips. After Li Mu painted the grand blueprint, everyone no longer had bargaining chips. Now everyone wants to be Li Mu's lackeys like the Xiao family. Once Li Mu rejected it, what will follow will be the betrayal of his relatives and being brutally suppressed. Even if it is not suppressed, it will not be able to develop. When Li Mu built Jiaozhou Port, Mingzhou Port, built a military port, and formed a fleet, he controlled the sea control power. At that time, not to mention a small family, the vast ocean, there will be no opponents of his. Isn't it just an idea to deal with anyone he wants to deal with?

Therefore, now both sides have no way to negotiate, and one party has lost the qualification to negotiate.

Everyone looked at Li Mu and waited for his verdict. But Li Mu did not do this. He did not mention the assignment, but said: "The conditions given by this marquis are already here. You can talk about what you want to choose. As long as you don't go too far and overestimate yourself, it's easy to discuss, but ugly words are also in the forefront. If someone dares to speak loudly and enjoy this marquis, don't blame me for turning against me!"

Everyone didn't dare to say anything. As a respected elder, Gu Sizhi stood up on behalf of everyone and said, "Marty, I don't know if I can allow me to discuss it, tomorrow--"

"I have precious time and don't have so much time to wait for you. I'll give you three hours, and before the evening, there must be a result."

After Li Mu said that, he went back to his room to rest. Only the people who looked at each other were left. Everyone was afraid to speak at Li Mu's place. In the end, Gu Sizhi suggested that the Gu family run a rice shop nearby. Although it was a bit simple, it was not the time to enjoy it at this time. There was no need to discuss things.

When everyone came to the rice shop, someone immediately complained and asked Gu Sizhi how Wang Rui's words reached Li Mu's ears. How could Gu Sizhi bear such a crime? He immediately retorted and the two sides almost fought. Half an hour passed, and nothing was discussed. In the end, Zhu Qing, the elder of the Zhu family, stopped everyone and said, "Is it meaningful to investigate this now? The Marquis only gave three hours, and half an hour has passed. If you don't hurry up, you can't discuss the result. What are the consequences? Have you figured it out?"

The people who had already argued that their faces were red, then calmed down. No one was a young man anymore. They knew when and what was important. After calming down, they did not delay the matter and started discussing seriously.

Li Mu did not care about how they discussed it. In his eyes, as long as he wanted to do something, someone would do it. As for whether the Gu family or the Wang family did it, there was no difference for him. However, those who did not cooperate had to clean up, it was that simple.

What he considers is more macro. After all, all the details are ultimately served for a big purpose.

The big purpose Li Mu considered was the ocean.

He wants to get the power to control the sea, in a relatively second-hand sentence in his previous life, his real goal is the sea of ​​stars! This is also the best solution he can think of without irreconciliation with Li Shimin and escape without irreconciliation. This is also the best way he can think of, not affect the major trajectory of history, and also protect himself!

The Tang Dynasty was still the Li Tang, and the sea belonged to Li Mu in the future! The Wanshi Ship is just the beginning. If there is one, there will be a second ship. If there is a second ship, there will be a fleet and two fleets. At this time, if there is a fleet composed of Wanshi Ship, at least at sea, there will be no opponents. Even if it is a thousand years later, when Portugal and Spain compete for maritime hegemony, their main warships did not reach the level of Wanshi Ship!

What Li Mu has to do is wear a straw hat and create his own era of navigation!

The earth, land accounts for 30% and oceans account for 70%. The treasures contained in the vast ocean far exceed human imagination.

World history is a history of competing for land. All countries are nothing more than that. The ocean is limited to human abilities and has not received enough attention for a long time. But when the land is divided up by humans, the vast ocean will become their new goal. Various maritime rule claims are still limited to the limited waters in the coastal area. No country has ever thought about it, or they cannot do it at all, occupy the ocean. What Li Mu wants to do is occupation in the actual sense. He wants to be the sea king, and at least in his lifetime, the surrounding waters around the Tang Dynasty must be regarded as the main one.

The issue of ocean can be summarized in three points: "Who belongs to the ocean", "Who will allocate the ocean" and "How to divide the ocean". When Li Mu was watching One Piece, he specifically looked for knowledge about navigation, and the rise and decline of the two marine empires of Portugal and Spain, and also specially found a documentary to watch.

Portugal and Spain occupied the oceans with "Roman law" as the legal basis, first-hand, and the Pope's instructions as religious basis, psychological construction, and adventure rewards as induction, divide the global oceans. The "ocean possession theory" held by Portugal and Spain is a self-debate of the logic of "preconceived, possession of the strong". It is essentially the hegemonic idea of ​​"power is axiom", which is unreasonable, but very useful. This is why Portugal and Spain have become the hegemonic rulers of the ocean one after another. Since the wheel of history proves that this method is effective, and hundreds of years later, Portugal and Spain did this, why not?

This is like a knife. There is no reason why foreigners hold swords and make sense. Tang Dynasty hold swords and bullying domineeringly. Even if it is, then it will be done. Li Mu himself has no psychological burden. He traveled over a thousand years later and learned more than a thousand years of history, world history, Chinese history, and even the world that was already two thousand years later, before he traveled through time, there was no such thing as a new era after two thousand years. There was no such thing as a new era. If he fell behind, he would be beaten. If he could choose, why not be the powerful person? But he would be the weak, argue with the powerful person, and ask for a fair party?

But one bite cannot eat a fat man, and things must be done step by step. Li Mu looked at the "World Map" hanging on the wall, and his eyes were taken back from a distant place. In the end, his eyes were fixed on a large island in the lower right corner of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted to turn it into the home port of his fleet to the sea of ​​stars. He wanted to build a huge lighthouse to lead the direction of a maritime power for future generations!

...

Three hours later, everyone finished their discussion and returned to Yuelai Inn. Compared with the panic just now, everyone seemed much more confident and logical.

Gu Sizhi took the lead in speaking and stated that the Gu family's ancestors operated Suzhou and Hangzhou, were willing to stay and assist and manage Yangzhou Port well, and hoped to participate in the construction of Mingzhou Port. Zhu family said that they were willing to give up the rest of their industries and focus all their spirits on the shipbuilding industry, and were willing to train sailors to prepare for going to sea.

But not everyone thinks this way. For example, the Wang family of Langya is not very interested in going overseas. They are willing to give up all business involving shipping in exchange for operating cement plants or iron ore. The Yu family, who have the same idea as the Wang family of Langya, is very determined.

After hearing everyone's attitude, the twelve families in Jiangnan can be roughly divided into two parts. The Qihai Bao Lu Sect and the Qilu Bao Hai Sect each account for half of them. It was obviously discussed privately and made a profit exchange. Each family came up with a list of industries that each replaced. Li Mu picked up the family and took a look. The parts involved in the replacement were 10% each, and it did not indicate their ownership. However, looking at the ambiguous smiles of these people, Li Mu knew what this meaning was.

All the replacements were taken out 10% and given to Li Mu, the crossing river dragon. The work was very big. But Li Mu didn't want to accept it. If he accepted it, it would be difficult to handle things in the future, and his intentions were not here. The so-called wealth was dispersed and people gathered, and people were dispersed. It was just when people needed to do things. Why should we be greedy for a little money and delay the progress of major events?

Li Mu asked someone to take the pen, and with a big stroke, he wiped all the entire 100% off. Everyone was surprised. Gu Sizhi was about to say something, but Li Mu stopped him from talking.

"I am here to do business, not to blackmail. If you have any intention of bribery, get out of here as soon as possible."

Everyone was secretly happy and hurriedly flattered again. Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Since you have made the division yourself, you will sign and seal it today, and no one is allowed to repent in the future. All delivery will be completed within two months. In this process, I do not want to hear any related issues. If there is any problem, let me know. No matter who is responsible, the industry involved will be confiscated. Do you have any questions?"
