Feng Ziying ignored the restlessness of the people below, her eyes were just a glance, and the voices in the entire hall subconsciously became quiet.

"What the official said, you can listen to it, if you have questions in your heart, you can ask questions in a while, you can discuss and negotiate, otherwise what will the official do when he summons you here?" Feng Ziying snorted lightly, "The Ezo Land and the Jurchen hinterland are the strategic plans of the imperial court, and they are indispensable to the military affairs of the imperial court, so there is no need to question this, if there is no risk of crossing south, why should the imperial court be so favorable?" ”

"In addition, at the suggestion of this official, the imperial court also preliminarily agreed that in order to encourage our Great Zhou scholars and merchants to open up shipping routes and promote trade, in addition to the Ezo land and the Jurchen hinterland, including the Great Zhou scholars but not limited to the Great Zhou scholars, as long as they can explore and discover the existing New areas and new routes to the surrounding areas that the Great Zhou Dynasty merchants have not yet mastered, the imperial court will give heavy rewards, and if the new regions and new routes discovered can bring substantial benefits, such as the goods needed by the Great Zhou in the region, such as gold, silver and copper mines, For example, medicinal herbs, such as crops, such as spices, and so on, the imperial court may grant them exclusive reclamation and trade rights while giving them heavy rewards, and they may also sell all or part of the reclamation and trading rights to the imperial court and other gentry and merchants,......"

This is almost a big week version of the reward colonization regulations.

Whether it is an internal or Chinese calligraphy, he has no intention of doing so, and he has not even thought about it, but in Feng Ziying's view, this is an important step that Da Zhou must take to compete with European countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

To put it mildly, with the development of the Great Zhou and the growth of the population, sooner or later the Great Zhou will also need more land under the sun.

This suggestion made Fujian businessmen quite excited.

They had a lot of contacts with the merchants of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and knew that in addition to the well-known places such as Luzon and Manraka, there were still countless islands and lands in the South Seas that were uninhabited or inhabited by mountain people.

The environment was harsh, but the climatic conditions were rich in precious timber, suitable for spice cultivation, and even gold and silver deposits, and if the land routes of these islands could be opened up and presented to the imperial court, it might also be a way to make a fortune.

If you can fund one or two for them to engage in this business, on the one hand, they can make good friends with the imperial court, and on the other hand, they can also make some profits, especially the former is of great significance to the future of maritime trade.

"I don't know how much you know about the Nanyang region, the Hongmao Fan and the Francophone and the English can come to the Nanyang for benefits tens of thousands of miles, and they have taken a lot of spices, gold and silver, why don't we dare to try it? The big land islands of the South Seas are not more than 10 million, just waiting for you to boldly explore and try, this official very much hopes that you can make a lot of money from it, and in this regard, the imperial court will not hesitate to reward you! ”

From simple maritime trade in mature areas to reclamation and then sea trade in undiscovered areas, this is not only a change in the way of maritime trade, but also an inculcation of a new concept.

It is necessary to let these businessmen understand that there is no market and no output, so they can discover, develop, cultivate, and cultivate, so as to form trade interaction with the local Zhou Dynasty, which is the correct way to develop maritime trade.

The topic is a little off-topic, but they need to be instilled with such an idea first.

It's a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity.

These people were all influential in the local area, and when they returned, they could pass on this intention of the imperial court to more people, so that those who were not qualified to participate in the maritime trade could join by cultivating new trade routes, and the imperial court would encourage them.

"My lord,......" Someone couldn't help but want to ask first, and everyone's eyes were projected.

"Well, it stands to reason that we should answer the question after the official has said everything, but the official knows that what he just said may be slightly different from what we were going to talk about, and I am afraid that you will not remember clearly for a while, so the official made an exception to answer the question about the exploration of the new route and new area first."

Feng Ziying glanced at the other party, the Minnan Zhang family, it is said that they are the descendants of the former Song Dynasty Prime Minister Zhang Danzhang's family, and they are both gentry and maritime giants.

"You say."

"The grass people want to ask, according to the meaning of the imperial court, as long as new routes and places can be discovered, then they can be reclaimed by themselves, and everything they get above belongs to the discoverer?" Zhang Quan got up and bowed first, and then asked a question.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, as long as it is the people of the Great Zhou, the land obtained is the land of Zhou. Feng Ziying glanced at the other party deeply, "But this official wants to emphasize that this soil does not refer to the land of the soil, but to the land, that is to say, if the land of the new extension must be the land of the imperial court, but if this land is recognized by the government, you can obtain a land deed from the government,......

"Then the meaning of the Lord is similar to that of the Eastern Domain?" Zhang Quan immediately followed and asked.

"No, it's different, Dongfan is not a new land in the name of the country, since the Han and Wei dynasties, all dynasties have belonged to China, but because of geographical and demographic reasons, it has risen and fallen, so now the imperial court is ready to vigorously develop." Feng Ziying's face was calm, and her attitude became more and more gentle, "What this official said, such as the land of the South Seas, refers to the land that has not belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty, if any of them can open up new routes and expand the land, then report to the official, file and store the documents in the Zhongshu Section, and the imperial court will establish governance, then the land they expand can be or the imperial court will issue a land deed, and the imperial court will also allow it to be relocated through legal channels, and even encourage the relocation of people to reclaim the land,......"

This statement immediately caused a whisper among the crowd.

In fact, many of the maritime merchants in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, as well as some of the merchants and thieves who mixed on the sea to make a living, settled in Nanyang.

Although the Franc Robot occupied Luzon, they were still fighting against the natives in the local mountains and forests of Luzon, and did not achieve an overwhelming victory, and the land of Luzon was not fully controlled by the Franc Robot.

It can be said that the entire Nanyang region is still in chaos, except for the Luzon region where the Franc machine people have the upper hand and their position is relatively stable.

Some small dynastic states, including those established by the local indigenous people, did not really control the entire region, such as the Maluku region, which was later regarded as the spice kingdom, Aceh and Jambi in Sumatra, and Banten in Kalimantan, all of which were still in a relatively scattered state of partition.

There are also many people who went overseas from Liangguang and Fujian to live in the Nanyang area, but because the Great Zhou Dynasty followed the policy of the Ming Dynasty and did not allow the people to leave the land and go to the sea, otherwise they would be punished, so that everyone did not dare to expose this situation.

In fact, the government is also well aware of the situation, but on the surface, everyone tacitly refuses to admit it or pretends not to know, but today, the remarks of this master undoubtedly represent a huge shift in the policy of the imperial court.

If you want to follow Feng Xiu's statement, then the land that has actually taken root in many places in Nanyang, as long as it is surrendered to the imperial court, recognized by the imperial court, and becomes the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then from the relocation of people to the handling of land deeds, to the management of officials set up by the imperial court, can be carried out logically and fairly.

This huge change is hard for many people to believe.

Feng Ziying: This is cutting first and then playing.

Even he himself did not know what this promise would bring.

But if this is not done, it will be difficult for the Great Zhou to confront the Hongmaofan (Dutch) who have already established themselves in Luzon and settled in Kalimantan if they want to trade and colonize the South Seas.

The British had already begun to establish trading posts in Sumatra, and had obtained the permission of the English king, and the offensive was in full swing.

It can be said that although the Great Zhou's reclamation of the South Seas had a geographical advantage over these Europeans, the policy of closing the country and banning the sea since the Ming Dynasty made the Great Zhou's spirit of sea exploration obviously backward.

If the private sector is not stimulated enough, it will be difficult to regain the upper hand in the competition with the Europeans.

Spices, a product that was in great demand in the Great Zhou, were not only difficult to meet the needs of the Great Zhou, but also could not become an important product for exports to Xiyi, which was exactly what Feng Ziying tried to do, which was also an important factor for him to impress and persuade Emperor Yonglong and the cabinet in the future.

Perhaps the imperial court is now under huge financial pressure to implement the strategy of opening the sea, but Feng Ziying's purpose is very simple, that is, to make the opening of the sea a continuous national policy.

In order to do this, it is necessary to make the imperial court realize that the opening of the sea and the external reclamation can bring a steady stream of benefits, and the benefits will be greater and greater.

It is necessary to make this income an indispensable part of the interests of the imperial court or the emperor and even the princes of the imperial court, and only in this way can this strategic national policy be durable.

For this reason, Feng Ziying is willing to gamble.

Everyone is chewing on the deep meaning behind Feng Ziying's words, since the two Song Dynasty, the two Guangzhou, Fujian and the two have a history of going to the South Seas, and since the Ming Dynasty, this situation is more prominent, like Luzon is typical, there are no less than tens of thousands of Chinese in Luzon, and the number of Chinese is in the tens of thousands, in this case, when the strength of the naval fleet of the Great Zhou Dynasty recovers to a certain extent, it is not impossible to start this strategy.

Of course, before that, Da Zhou still needs to recuperate and try to avoid conflicts with Europeans such as Franc Ji and Hongmaofan, and now the main enemy of Da Zhou is not them.

Only by solving the threat of the Jurchens and Tatars can the main focus be on returning, and the main task now undertaken by the sea is to relieve the pressure on the imperial finances.

However, the early idea should be instilled in them first, to avoid conflict with the Xiyi people, it does not mean that they will do nothing, Nanyang is so big, Chinese everywhere, is there no chance to say?
