The first round-the-world voyage in human history was completed under his leadership, which was a very meaningful thing for Paul.

In the eyes of outsiders, the earl is very happy and excited, just like celebrating a festival.

But Paul's heart was actually not as eager as he showed, not to say that he was not agitated at all, but to say that the extent could not be compared with what he showed.

Combining the knowledge of the previous life and the various phenomena observed in this life, Paul has long concluded that this world is a star like the earth.

To him, taking a round-the-world voyage is more like replaying a game that has already been cleared and getting a commemorative achievement.

Of course, for Paul, who has become a ruler, it is not just as simple as getting achievements.

Expansion of territory, ocean colonization? There is no such demand and pressure for the time being, or at least not in the territory under his control.

But it is still possible to do business with indigenous people and open up new markets. No matter how different the cultural background is, you still have to eat and drink.

What's more, find out in advance what important resources are available around the world.

The northern exploration team brought fur, medicinal materials, and minerals.

The Eastern Exploration Team, brought... like oil and rubber?

For the Western Exploration Team, the situation in the new continent is not clear yet, but the two new continents in the north and south contain infinite possibilities.

Moreover, according to the records of the Western Expeditionary Team, in the western ocean of the Northwest Gulf, a large number of seabirds gather on many uninhabited islands. The number is astonishing and unimaginably large.

According to Paul's idea, a large amount of bird droppings tend to accumulate on such islands. The main component of bird droppings is phosphate. Before the invention of chemical fertilizers, bird droppings were the best fertilizer.

On Earth, Christmas Island and Nauru have made a lot of money from guano, and Peru and Bolivia have fought against Chile for guano (in fact, there is also saltpetre).

】

Before their own chemical industry can produce a large amount of chemical fertilizers, if they really find such a guano island, it will be a great help to improve the agricultural production capacity under their control.

Paul didn't hesitate. After Gu Lan and the others rested in Huxin Town for a few days, they were summoned to the Lord's Mansion again to discuss the next "exploration plan" with the important members of the Government Administration Council.

On the wall of the meeting room, there is a huge map hanging.

This is the geographic sketch drawn up by the surveyors on the Western Expedition for the area they traveled through.

Of course, most of the things on the map are estimates because they have not been surveyed thoroughly and in detail.

For example, the distance between islands, the shape of the coastline of the mainland, the direction of ocean currents, etc., are mostly based on feelings.

Paul smiled and said to Grant, "For our vast ocean in the west, haven't you thought about naming it?"

Because only the west of the Aldo Kingdom is adjacent to the sea, the people in this land only call the western ocean "the sea", or "the sea" is the name of the waters in the west.

Now, with Aldor's unprecedented range of activity, Paul needs to divide and name the world's waters.

Grant replied, "With your permission."

"Of course I allow it. This power and honor should belong to you." Paul replied sincerely.

"In this case, we have discussed that we can name it the Ocean of Tranquility."

Paul asked, "Why the name?"

Glenn's eyes were full of memories, "When we crossed this ocean, we may have obtained the protection of our heavenly father. We were so lucky that we didn't encounter too extreme weather during the whole journey. Good luck to those who later cross this ocean."

“Very good! Very good!”

Paul took the lead in applauding. He was very satisfied with Glenn's answer. Glenn is really a nice person.

"Well, then it will be called the Ocean of Tranquility from now on."

"What about the other ocean?" Paul pointed to the map from afar, pointing to the ocean between the west of the New World and the east of the Old World.

"Oh, it's the opposite of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. It may be that we have run out of resources. We encountered a lot of bad weather there, such as hurricanes, and there are many undercurrents. Fortunately, there is no loss. Look, how about the Ocean of Hurricane? ?”

"Okay, it's called Hurricane Ocean!" Paul agreed with Grant's naming.

Paul asked again: "According to your wishes, do you want to go to the continent of the goatmen again?"

Grant nodded, "I can't wait to set sail again to save those brothers who are being enslaved by aliens."

Paul nodded, "I will prepare everything you need right away. And on this voyage, I will also send many surveying and surveying personnel to follow you to draw more accurate charts and maps, and to detect of various resources."

"Everyone!" He looked at everyone present, "I intend to establish a communicable relationship with the alien races in the New World. What do you think?"

Old Ford was the first to speak, "If they're not inherently evil, of course they can, but... the goatmen that Glenn said don't seem very friendly to us?"

There was doubt in his tone.

"But there are still relatively friendly tauren." Paul said, "and, according to Glenn, when they first visited the goatman's port, the managers there were also very friendly. So I think there must be something wrong in the middle." What happened."

"If it is possible to communicate, then naturally there is no problem. What does Master Graham mean to start... trade with them?"

Emerson Lowry, director of the Ministry of Commerce, asked this question. The Ministry of Commerce is a newly established department of the State Council.

"That's right, I think this will help broaden our source of wealth." Paul nodded, "Think about it, two brand new continents, what a huge market there should be."

Grant reminded: "Master Graeman~lightnovelpub.net~ Sheep people have a very high level of civilization. They even invented paper themselves, which is very similar to the one you invented."

"Paper was invented?" Paul wasn't surprised. "Oh, that's nothing. It's not surprising that paper came out of nowhere in the world. It's not a high technology. We have many other things to sell."

"But..." He stood up, walked to the wall, and vigorously patted the map hanging on the wall.

"The two oceans... are too vast for us now. I hope to find some large enough islands above the ocean for our future fleet—trade fleet, but not excluding others— Build supply depots and repair depots."

He looked at Old Ford, "But it's not enough to send people to garrison. If we can find islands that can be inhabited and can develop a certain amount of agriculture, they will be included in our territory. I hope to be able to develop on them. A settlement with some self-sustainability."

"Follow your orders, Lord Graham."

The governor of the State Council accepted the order.
