Qi Xiaobai agreed to Wang Zhi and gave him 10,000 ingots of gold and the right to recruit soldiers.

"Gong, you will be able to achieve what you want!" Wang Zhi said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai asked Wei Dexian to prepare the agreement, and asked Wang Zhi to sign his name on it, the businessman pays attention to the spirit of the contract, and he Qi Xiaobai also pays attention to it, Qi Xiaobai's 10,000 gold is not thrown to Wang Zhi for nothing, if Wang Zhi can't give Qi Xiaobai a return, then Qi Xiaobai will ask this Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi signed the agreement and left, Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai: "Gong, we don't have the strength to protect them outside!" ”

"Who said they were going to protect them? We just lend them the flag, if they really fight with other countries at sea, if it is a small country, we can support, but if it is a strong country, then it is the king who is unlucky! Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Tianshang.

This 10,000 gold Qi Xiaobai didn't give it for free, if it can bring the return that Wang Zhi said, it would be better, if there is no return, this 10,000 gold, Qi Xiaobai will let Wang Zhi spit it out......

Qi Xiaobai just lent him the flag, as for whether he can deter others, it depends on him Wang Zhi himself.

After all, the Zhou Empire is still famous, and the prestige is still somewhat useful, because Qi Xiaobai is a vassal state of the Zhou Empire, the flag of the Qi State symbolizes the Zhou Empire outside.

"Male, I understand!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, Qi Xiaobai explained it so simply, this Zhang Tianshang understood what Qi Xiaobai meant.

And Wang Zhi left the Qi Palace and arrived at a teahouse.

The people in this teahouse are all big businessmen of Qi State, and the matter that Wang Zhi reported to Qi Xiaobai was not thought up by Wang Zhi alone, but discussed by the entire Chamber of Commerce of Qi State.

The so-called Chamber of Commerce is a business alliance formed by these businessmen of Qi State, and Wang Zhi is the president of this Chamber of Commerce!

"How? President Wang? Did Qi Gong agree? A merchant dressed in gorgeous costumes looked at Wang Zhi and said.

"I agreed, and I also paid 10,000 gold to buy shares, and we are also allowed to recruit troops, but this Qi Xiaobai does not plan to build a navy to escort us!" Wang Zhi said to these merchants.

These businessmen were quite disappointed when they heard this, their initial idea was to hope that this Qi Xiaobai could build a navy, why did they expand the sea.

If Qi's national strength allows, Qi Xiaobai is also willing to build a navy and open up an era of great navigation, but Qi's national conditions do not allow it, and Qi Xiaobai's willingness to lend Qi's signboard and the authority to recruit troops is already a great support.

Of course, Qi Xiaobai will not give any support at the national level, there will still be diplomatic support, if diplomacy does not work, then it can only fail, after all, military support, Qi Xiaobai is unable to give......

"Ladies and gentlemen, if we want the Qi State to build a navy, we must make the Qi State strong!" A businessman said.

"That's right, only after the land affairs are done, Qi Gong is willing to build a navy and open up the ocean!" A merchant followed.

In fact, the capital merchant power of Qi is not weaker than that of Song State, after all, there are many maritime merchants in Qi State, which is incomparable to Song State, but Song State is a merchant who controls the government and commerce, and business is more liberalized, while Qi State is not......

"The support that Gong Qi gives us now is only enough to open up on this small island!" Wang pointed to a small island on the map.

This small island is not far from Qi State, and the area is not large, if there is really a war to seize the colony, the coastal defense soldiers of Qi State can also go to support.

"Then let's create this island first, and this island is Jeju Island!" Wang Zhi said to these businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce.

These people agreed, after all, the support given by Qi Xiaobai was only enough to colonize this island, and if they wanted to expand far away, they had to need naval escort in distant places, Qi Xiaobai did not give them naval support, to be precise, the navy under Qi was too weak, and it was not enough to fight across the ocean!

If there is a war on this Jeju Island, it will actually be a little difficult for the Qi Navy to support this Jeju Island, after all, the warships of the Qi State have not been updated since the founding of the country.

The navy of Qi has never been to sea, and it is basically defending against the invasion of pirates on land......

"Then you guys are ready, we will recruit troops in Weihai City!" Wang Zhi said to these businessmen.

Colonization, Wang Zhi is done in alliance with all the merchants of the Qi Chamber of Commerce, although he is rich, but he is not rich enough to colonize other places.

Colonies need warships, but Qi Xiaobai won't give them warships, they can only recruit warships by themselves, this one warship is worth a lot of money, not to mention that it takes at least ten warships to create a colony.

This colonization is actually Qi as an investor, joining them, and they are the main force of colonization......

Of course, they can only colonize if Qi invests, because colonization needs to recruit soldiers, and if Qi does not give them permission, they will not be able to recruit soldiers......

Of course, they have also thought of using the indigenous to fight the natives, but the natives are not their own people after all, and it is not easy to control, and they colonize to oppress each other......

So they can only go to the Qi people to help them colonize, after all, Qi is the only vassal state with a navy at present, and it is also the mother country of these merchants!

Although this world has a world map, a sea power, and a colonial system, but because there are only three sea powers, two of which have a colonial system are caught in endless wars, and they can't colonize the outside world at all, which makes Wang Zhi, who is a Qi person after traveling around the world, see the opportunity.

Although Wang Zhi's colonization and the colonization of sea power powers had different starting points, the benefits brought to the country were the same.

Colonization was an expansion of the country's territory, and it was a very large investment for these merchants.

Of course, the so-called colonization can only be carried out in places where the gap between the two sides is very large, and the Jeju Island chosen by Wang Zhi and others is still in the primitive stage......

Qi Xiaobai reviewed the folds, in fact, he was very optimistic about Wang Zhi's colonization this time, as long as it could succeed, then his Qi Xiaobai's Qi State would be able to obtain a lot of resources, and he could even recruit troops in the colony......

In the current Zhou Empire, only Qi and Yue have the advantage of the sea and can find marine resources, but what Yue cares about is land power, not to mention that now Yue is on the verge of extinction......

Qi Xiaobai looked at the piles of folds on the table and said, "I won't watch it today!" ”

Watching the twists and turns every day, Qi Xiaobai was also very annoyed in his heart, originally he wanted to rest today, and after the court meeting, he was going to go to Liu Ruoqing, but Wang Zhi came to him, Zhang Tianshang said that there was something important, and Qi Xiaobai was not easy to see.

After meeting my Wang Zhi, it is already afternoon, according to the convention, there will be an imperial chef to serve Qi Xiaobai dinner, but Qi Xiaobai arranged to go to Liu Ruoqing, so it is noon, and there is no meal yet......
