I'm a big dick

Chapter 643 Nanyang Grand Strategy

For the establishment of the capital market, the emperor has been hesitant.

Despite the issuance of bonds, I hope to gather small streams into big rivers and gather private funds to do great things.But the trading of bonds is still limited to personal private buying and selling, and there is no real bond market.

Of course, bonds are one of the most stable investment channels for banks, whether it is the central bank or the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

Ping Liao debt, Jian Liao debt, war debt, plus the planned railway construction debt, the emperor felt that there were still too few varieties, and it was too early to establish a bond market, and it was unnecessary.

Since there are banks that can issue and repurchase, non-governmental private transactions are not prohibited, let it develop naturally, and then adjust and improve it according to the specific situation.

"Your Majesty, Li Dan is here to give your majesty's speech." Wang Tiqian's report made the money-counting emperor withdraw his thoughts.

Majesty's speech is a form, the emperor can see it or not.If you don't see it, just kowtow outside the Meridian Gate and you're done.If you see it, it will naturally show the emperor's favor and value.

"Xuan." The emperor waved his hand without any hesitation.

Luzon's governance plan was presented several times and revised several times before it was finally approved by the emperor.While Li Dan was tired, he was also excited.

From a sea merchant to a prince in one place, Li Dan never dreamed of a situation.Yes, in Luzon, his governor is the king.

As a sea merchant, money is no longer important to Li Dan.If he can spend the rest of his life in peace, he would rather donate most of his property.

In feudal society, many people had this sense of crisis, or insecurity.This is true even for nobles and vassals, let alone a businessman?
But the emperor's attention gradually dispelled his worries and concerns.The emperor loved money, but he got it in a proper way. At least Li Dan believed that if the emperor did business, he would definitely be a good businessman who valued his promise.

The big pie of the governor of Luzon suddenly fell on his head, and Li Dan was confused at first.He came to send money and wanted to contribute to the attack on Luzon.

But the emperor did not accept his donation, and intended to appoint him as the governor of Luzon.These two accidents were really, really unexpected.

After the huge surprise, Li Dan played several plans one after another.The final pass also made him understand the emperor's attitude towards expanding territories and the division of overseas territories.

According to Li Dan's understanding, the emperor should have divided the original territory of the Ming Dynasty and the territory that was later opened up and occupied into three levels.

The first level is what existed before, including what the previous emperor gave up.Generally speaking, all provinces within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Mongolia, Nuer Gandusi, Western Regions, etc., are not yet under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The second level is Mekong Province. Although the emperor has regarded it as the territory of Ming Dynasty, it is still different from the inland provinces.

The third level is the overseas territories, including Borneo, Luzon, and the newly recovered Burma.

For the first and second levels, the emperor's attitude is firm, and it is necessary to firmly grasp the control, or must regain it.

The third level depends on the specific situation. If the development is good and the control is strong, it is not impossible to be promoted to the second or first level.

For example, in Luzon, the emperor is unlikely to invest heavily in resources in the early stage, but to make up for it with policies.

In the future, whether to immigrate and occupy permanently like Mekong Province, or just want to have a base, or give up, depends on what value Luzon can provide and how far it has developed.

After trying to understand this point, Li Dan's competition report found the key points and was approved by the emperor.

Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to make secret preparations.To become the governor of Luzon, you must have a vote of people you can trust, right?
Furthermore, Li Dan is ready to donate generously to what the navy still lacks. The plan to attack Luzon next year must not be delayed.

"I kowtow to see Long live, congratulations on the victory of the war against Burma."

Regarding Li Dan's kowtow to pay respects and congratulations on victory, the emperor smiled and said warmly: "Free from courtesy."

"Thank you long live." Li Dan kowtowed his head again to thank him, then stood up and bowed, waiting for the emperor's last golden words.

The emperor waved his hands at the palace man, who took the box and handed it to Li Dan.

"This is the governor's official uniform and seal, please keep it." The emperor said with a smile: "But remember to keep it secret. If there is no accident, the conquest of Luzon is only a few months away."

"Thank you Long live Long En." Li Dan knelt down and kowtowed to thank him again, his excitement was beyond words.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "Luzon and Borneo have great potential for development, but the catastrophe requires the court to deal with it with all its strength, and the investment cannot be too much. Whether it can be managed well depends on Li Qing's ability."

Li Dan hurriedly bowed and promised: "Long live, don't worry, I will do my best to govern Luzon like my counties and counties in the interior of the Ming Dynasty."

If it were not for the development of Mekong Province, Luzon would be closer than Borneo.If it weren't for the growing navy, Luzon would have been the target of the emperor's conquest.

Even so, after the suppression of the Ping-Liao rebellion, the Ming Empire embarked on the road of expansion.Even the coming of a catastrophe did not change the emperor's plan.

The purpose of supplementing the outside with the inside has been determined and cannot be changed.Buying grain overseas is naturally more expensive than growing grain yourself.

The development and construction of Mekong Province is a successful example.Now that there is newly occupied Burmese land, the Awa Granary will provide assistance to survive the catastrophe.

Dongfan, Hainan, and even Borneo and Luzon are also areas less affected by the catastrophe, and will continue to provide food for the Ming Empire.

This is only a short-term goal. In the grand plan of the emperor, Dongfan, Luzon, Borneo, and finally Malacca will form the outer circle of the Ming Empire in the South China Sea.

Only then did the South China Sea truly become the swimming pool of the Ming Empire.

Based on the population of the Ming Empire, 2000 million people would be enough to firmly control these places and become the real territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, the emperor presented a real difficulty, which was a catastrophe in the country.And Li Dan also made a guarantee, and it was very in line with the emperor's mind.

Just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future.The catastrophe lasted at most ten years, and when it was over, the Ming Empire broke free from its last shackles.

At that time, with a well-equipped army of one million and a navy of thousands of ships, no country can resist it even if you look at the world.

What's more, Li Dan is a man who will come to things.The emperor didn't want the donated money, so he took out 50 yuan for charity and gave it all to the Shaoying Academy.

"Although you are the governor of Luzon, on the side of Borneo—" the emperor thought for a while, and said: "If you invest, you will invest, and the court will not let you suffer."

"Long live, how dare a low-ranking official abolish personal interests because of public affairs?" Li Dan hurriedly said: "The management in Borneo is managed by the imperial court and sent someone to take over."

The emperor was worried that Li Dan would concentrate on running Luzon and move his business in Borneo away.Seeing that Li Dan made a promise, he felt relieved.
