Chapter 1558 The complex situation of Jinshan Port(2/5)
What he saw in his eyes was the long-term interests of the Tang Dynasty, and what he saw was the prospect of our Tang Dynasty's complete control of many overseas territories.
No matter which territory is in the hands of which royal family, it is in the hands of our Tang Dynasty.
But if the fiefs of the children of the royal family are not enthroned overseas.
Then these places are likely to be occupied by others.
Either gather some ambitious people, or they are occupied by people from the Great Food Empire or other countries.
These are obviously not what His Royal Highness wants to see.”
After Cao Lin said this, Li Zhi felt a little over the topic.
Before this, no one dared to explain this matter so thoroughly.
Although he could vaguely feel Li Kuan’s thoughts, he didn’t think so thoroughly.
Now that Cao Lin pointed it out, he immediately realized it.
It seems that this is really the case.
"According to your opinion, my second brother is not afraid of everyone developing their own sphere of influence overseas?
Even if we use some methods that are not necessarily good, he can tolerate it?"
Li Zhi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Although he has no sense of existence in the court, it does not mean that he has no ambitions.
He also hopes that one day he can lead the people to prosperity and strength.
"Yes, I think so! And from the analysis of the past situation, I think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should think so.
As long as we do not directly raise the rebellion, the court will be able to tolerate our various developments overseas.
With the current situation, relying on the backing of the Tang Dynasty, we can develop more comfortably.
So there is no need to do something like raising a flag to rebel.”
When Cao Lin said this, he carefully paid attention to Li Zhi's expression.
In his heart, although he felt that it was not suitable to raise the flag to rebel now, it would not be necessary in the future.
Of course, he will not say these words now, and he must look at them according to the situation.
If the court allows Li Zhi to establish a country in North America in the future and become a new vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it will be an acceptable plan.
"Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. Mr. Cao, since that's the case, what do you think we should do next?"
Li Zhi felt relieved and prepared to do a big fight.
"There are not many Tang people in Jinshan Port today, but there are also many.
But many people are scattered all over the place, thinking about whether they can find gold mines.
The first thing we need to do is to find some talents that are useful to us from these Tang people.
For example, we can set up a recruitment hall and recruit a group of people to help us do things.
Then we can expand the guard team and practice our skills first.
For those natives who are willing to obey orders, it is best.
If you don’t want to obey orders, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Cao Lin is not a good man and a trustworthy woman.
He hoped that Li Zhi's strength could increase rapidly, so he naturally had to take some extraordinary measures.
"If you recruit personnel, I think the situation here seems to be very complicated. Are we really suitable to recruit here?"
It was not the first day that Li Zhi arrived in Jinshan Port.
This is obviously a place where people are mixed.
Except for the members of the initial expedition, the others were all aimed at the gold mines or bison herds in Kingsoft Port.
In this era, it is not easy to meet when you come here at the risk of your life.
Li Zhi was also worried that he would recruit a bunch of troublesome people to his hands by then.
"The Ninth Prince, the more this time, the more courageous he needs.
If it were the kind of task of abiding by rules and regulations, it might not be suitable for us.
For example, in the original Puluo, the people recruited were not good men and women, but they built a big city in just a few years.
The more courageous a person is, the more he can help us at this time.
Because at this time we don’t need the kind of people who work calmly and obey themselves.”
Cao Lin tried his best to convince Li Zhi.
“Is it really okay for us to set up a recruitment hall on such a large scale to recruit personnel?
Is it better to be more low-key? Otherwise, if the censor impeached him, we will not even find an excuse."
Li Zhi is obviously not that brave now.
Although he also wants to achieve some results in America, the premise is that his life is safe.
"What's the problem? The so-called king's orders are not accepted.
If you are really worried, you can prepare a letter to describe the situation here as dangerous, and then when a ship goes back, you will give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In this way, even if the censor really impeached him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably not take it in his heart.
Besides, North America is too far from the Tang Dynasty. Even if someone causes trouble and passes messages over and over again, the situation of many things is completely different."
For Cao Lin, he was no longer so worried about what was going on in the court.
Anyway, now we have to convince Li Zhi to work boldly.
"What about those natives? Although there are not many natives near Kingsoft Port, there are definitely not few natives in the entire North America.
Even if there are not tens of millions, there are definitely millions of people.
If we fight with these natives, if they unite and fight against us, then we will never be able to beat them, right?
Judging from the current situation in Kingsoft Port, even if all kinds of people are calculated, there are only more than 10,000 people, right?
Some of them are slaves from Japan, and they may not be as consistent as us at that time.”
Li Zhi's concern is obviously not unreasonable.
No matter how powerful the Tang people are, they cannot fight millions of people.
"You've been worried that these natives are not that united.
Based on what I asked about it during this period, I learned that the natives in the Americas have not yet formed any country.
They are all tribes living alone in one area.
There are only one or two hundred people in the small tribe, most of which are hundreds of people.
Tribes with more than 10,000 people are very rare.
In this case, we don't have to worry that they will join forces to deal with us.
If they really joined forces, they had joined forces many years ago. Where would they wait until today?
Besides, not all natives have to deal with it. They can pull a group, fight a group, and kill a group.
For those obedient natives, we can also set up a Confucius Institute in Jinshan Port to teach them Sinology.”
Taking this opportunity, Cao Lin also brought up the construction of Confucius Institute.
On the one hand, this matter is in line with the national policy of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, you can even take this opportunity to ask Chang'an City for some students and funds.
On the other hand, this is also a means for Cao Lin to expand his influence in Jinshan Port.
Cao Lin knew very well how much influence he had as the president of a college over the years.
Obviously, this is something worth doing.
"Take a batch, fight a batch, kill a batch?
Then build a Confucius Institute to make Jinshan Port the same existence as Puluo?
Is it really possible?”
Li Zhi still has a good understanding of world geography.
The geographical environment in Puluo is obviously better than that of Kingsoft Port.
Now Cao Lin said that he would build Jinshan Port into an existence like Puluo, but he still had no confidence.
"It's entirely possible! Although the geographical location of Kingsoft Port is different from that of Puluo, there are no Southeast Asian countries around it to leverage their efforts to develop.
Anyone with Kingsoft Port has an advantage that is not comparable to that of Pulu.
With the entire North America, the opportunities and development space of Kingsoft Port are not comparable to that of ordinary people.
