Tian Heng's mansion.

"Korean people have too many requests." Tian Heng looked at the telegram in his hand a little angry, his hand trembling constantly, he wanted to tear the telegram in his hand to pieces, but it was of no use at all.

"This matter, I think, is very beneficial to us. Although the Koreans seem to be very strong, it is this kind of strength that gives us a lot of convenience. The Koreans only occupy the diplomatic strength. But in reality. The benefit we get is our Qi." Lou Jing said.

"How to say?" Tian Heng asked.

"The Koreans require us to provide a certain investment environment, but what kind of investment environment does Qi have? Only shipyards have some advantages. We produce land and Koreans produce technology. We can think of ways to provide funds, and so can they. In addition, we still have a relatively sufficient labor force that can be concentrated in the coastal areas. This is how the Koreans develop, and we can develop in this way. The Koreans are concentrated in the coastal areas, and we can also concentrate in the coastal areas. They give priority to development. This is also true for us. Therefore, the Koreans actually let us develop. We can focus on developing the coastal areas of our Qi country and build a series of port cities. At the same time, we can also build our own navy. "Lou Jing said.

"Yes, when it comes to the navy, our navy is too watery. They have no combat effectiveness at all. According to the report, we only encountered armed merchant ships of the other side, and our ships could not withstand the first round of attacks from the other side. , The ship will sink, and the other side, their armed merchant ships are equipped with more artillery than our navy. Our Qi State naval forces are not as good as the opponent's armed merchant ships." Tian Heng said with some annoyance.

“That’s why we need to focus on development. Jiaozhou is a good example of development. Jiaozhou does not have a large population, but Koreans have concentrated on development. They have cities, and the population is concentrated to solve the labor problem. Their shipyards , Factories can be developed. In fact, our Qi country does not lack these. If we can also concentrate, it is possible to have cities with a population of several million." Lou Jing said.

"Furthermore, when building these cities, we can also develop our own industries, such as our own military industry. This requires us to concentrate on manufacturing some guns and artillery factories. In this regard, South Korea still has their advantages. "Lou Jing said.

"Yeah. It seems that this step is very worthwhile for us to retreat. I have already decided." Tian Heng glanced at Lou Jing.

"Contact the blockade order and send you to South Korea to discuss related matters. However, I hope to resolve these issues as soon as possible. It must be fast, and it cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, it will be very detrimental to us." Tian Heng said.

Lou Jing nodded to express understanding.

"This may be old news, but it means a lot to us." Zhang Ye said to Zhang Guang.

"What news?" Zhang Guang asked.

"Xin Kebing will be expanded into the land, and the new South Korean army will have to expand a considerable number of native soldiers locally." Zhang Ye said.

"This news has long been known" Zhang Guang said with disdain.

"Yeah, because I knew it. I said that this is old news, but it is indeed a considerable opportunity to make a fortune. Think about it, those native soldiers need a lot of clothing and a lot of muskets, and the officers will train them. If we can build a good relationship with the army, if we go deeper and further trade in the future, we will definitely use these native soldiers. As long as one company, we may control the entire native soldiers thousands of people and let them carry out various suppression activities. , Is there any reason why our business is not good?" Zhang Ye said.

"Yes. This is indeed a very good idea." Zhang Guang said.

"Furthermore, the native soldiers need a large amount of arms and weapons, we can give them priority, and we can further expand the rest. With the support of native soldiers, our business can expand anywhere." Zhang Ye smiled. Speaking of.

"Well. I will go to Chief Zhang. If it is not possible, I will go to Her Majesty the Queen of Xinzheng, South Korea. With the support of the Queen, we can do a lot of things." Zhang Guang said excitedly. The Korean Western Trading Company suddenly discovered that the native soldiers were an important opportunity to cut into the western continent and expand trade in the Atlantic Ocean.

Chu State Trade Zone. Inside a Chu country's trading company.

"The shopkeeper, we can’t sell silk because of these white cotton cloths. The locals are willing to use white cotton cloth. Silk can only be used by those who have money. If they don’t grow these white cotton cloths, we can sell them without white cotton cloth. These silks are out." A buddy said to his shopkeeper.

"Cotton, this thing is cotton?" The shopkeeper asked annoyedly. With the expansion of Chu people’s business, Mengla and the nobles of Champu began to look for some agents. Naturally, the goods of ordinary merchants could not be sold. The nobles in China have a fixed supply of goods, and these providers have military backgrounds. They naturally can’t afford it. However, not everyone in Mengla people can use silk. This caused some merchants’ silk to be unsalable. Or sell it exclusively to those big businessmen. They have a military background and can do some business, but they cannot make a fortune. However, some folks one-sidedly believe that the main reason why their silk cannot be sold is because the cotton cloth used by the locals, that is, the local cloth, if the locals can also use the silk, the situation may be fine. Cotton cloth became a great rival of silk.

"This matter is not easy and difficult to handle. I think, this silk, we think of another way, it is really impossible. We are in the tea business." The shopkeeper shook his head and said. The business is not well done, which makes him a little frustrated.

"The shopkeeper, I think there are still people growing sugarcane in the area. This thing can squeeze sugar. Although the price of raw sugar is not expensive, it is not cheap. If we can grow sugar on this land, we can sell raw sugar. Go to the State of Qin, this is also a profitable business." A guy put forward his opinion.

"Well. Let's use this silk for it. The more we change, the better. In addition, think of a way to get some sugar squeezing technology, or for local people. We have to make it bigger and accumulate a lot of sugar, and we will take it away. . Domestic demand will be very large." said the shopkeeper waving his arms. This may be the only local business they think of.
