Both sides were satisfied with the 20th-degree south latitude as the division standard. In the view of the Portuguese, they only paid one-fifth of the area of ​​the Brazilian colony, and almost one-fifth of the development. The sugarcane plantations, cotton production areas, and mahogany production areas in the core of the Brazilian colony are either on the east coast of Brazil or on the northeast coast of Brazil, and the southern coastline is really unremarkable.

In the eyes of the empire, it is also cost-effective. Ordinary people like this colony that is free to be picked up. In the eyes of the empire's senior management, this is also in line with the national strategy. You must know that except for the Nanyang, the empire has never had much interest in developing tropical colonies.

There are many reasons here. First of all, the empire's development of colonies was a national immigration strategy. A large number of immigrants were immigrants in a short period of time. Although most of them were criminals, they were also humans. The climate in tropical areas was humid and hot, and there were many mosquitoes. The people of the empire lacked the experience of farming in tropical areas, which could easily lead to the death of a large number of people.

Secondly, European colonists like to colonize tropical areas because the goods they need, whether sugar cane or spices, are easy to grow in tropical areas. Even cotton, they also have a tropical variety of Brazilian cotton. Because of the large amount of black slaves, it is suitable for opening plantations in tropical areas in all aspects.

In fact, the empire prefers colonization and development of subtropical areas. After all, the main sources of immigration are local subtropical areas, and the subtropical areas can also produce tropical cash crops.

Of course, in the eyes of Li Mingxun and Li Junwei, this division is even more calculating. The two major cities in Brazil in later generations, Rio and Sao Paulo, were both on the empire, and the largest gold mines, iron mines, etc. were also in the territory.

In South America, the newly obtained land has been initially developed. Nangang is the largest smuggling port in the Americas. The Spanish did not have close control, and the Empire and Portugal have a good relationship. Therefore, a long time ago, the Brazilian colonial government of Portugal allowed the Empire to develop the southern coast of Brazil.

After obtaining this land, the American Expeditionary Force conducted a simple investigation. Judging from the local climate, vegetation and private land reclamation by merchants from various countries, it was found that South American colonies were particularly suitable for growing tea and tobacco, while the La Plata area was a wheat-producing area and a place with developed animal husbandry.

Therefore, after obtaining the southern Brazilian colony, the Ministry of Overseas Affairs first supported the development of local land and planting tobacco to meet the empire's national strategy for Europe, because that land is suitable for planting tobacco and tea, and the plateau canyons are the main terrain. The climate is humid and hot, and the Hu and Han are living together. Which of the local provinces in the country is the most similar? That is Yunnan Province, the southwestern province. Because of this, after completing the handover of the port of Sao Paulo with the Portuguese colonists, the American Expeditionary Force named the port Yizhou Port, and the surrounding colonies were called Yizhou, the ancient Yunnan name.

Unlike the last triumphant return, this time Li Junwei returned from the West and did not receive much glory. The main reason was that all the remarks made by the imperial people on this aspect were attracted by the Suez Railway and Canal Plans. The Suez Railway Company has been listed and offered public offerings and borrowed from major banks.

In the field of public opinion in the empire, the Suez Plan is the Zheng Guo Canal of the new era.

Opponents believe that King Yu's alliance in Europe was a contributing to the formulation of the plan, and on the other hand, the "exhausted Qin plan" of major European countries. Just a Suez Railway Company would invest 6 million taels of silver for this railway that is only 400 miles north and south. This is still an early investment. If the planned Suez Canal is included, how much does it cost, 40 million or 60 million?

You should know that after the establishment of the empire, there was no single project with such a large scale in all major projects. If one is not careful in operation, it is likely that the country's fiscal bankruptcy will be caused.

But in the eyes of supporters, the Suez Plan is the Zhengguo Canal of the new era, but it is just the Zhengguo Canal of the Qin State, not the Zhengguo Canal of the Wei State. The opening of railways and canals will give the empire the opportunity to control Europe and is in line with the empire's national strategy.

"Don't worry about the rumors, your butt determines your head, and what position you have to have. The Suez Plan is a plan that the Empire's financial bankruptcy needs to be carried out. I don't think about whether it loses money at all. I'm only thinking about two things now, how to complete it and how to keep it!"

Li Junhua personally went to the port to welcome the arrival of his brothers, and directly expressed his attitude. As the emperor of the empire, his mind and ambitions naturally need not be doubted.

Li Junwei smiled: "The country has a century-old plan, and businessmen only look at immediate interests. I understand this."

The two returned to the palace. The palace is very lively now. The children of the emperor and King Yu live in the harem, especially Li Junwei. Whether in Shenjing or going out for work, they were not idle. Pregnant women or children born are often sent back with letters from home. Li Junwei is now the father of five children.

Although the emperor's harem only had one woman in his harem, Concubine Rong was also very successful and gave birth to a son in her first child. Although the emperor had only one son, the issue of offspring was no longer a concern for the royal family.

However, the emperor's eldest son Li Zhaoji was not appointed as the crown prince after he was one year old. This once caused great controversy within the empire. Various rumors were one after another. The most circulating was that Li Zhaoji was born in the side room. Once he was appointed as the crown prince, it would be embarrassing if the queen had something to come out in the future.

But at the top leaders of the empire, they all knew that this was not the case. They all knew that the queen had lost her fertility, and Emperor Li Junhua even reiterated the principle of royal inheritance at the State Council, and whether to establish a virtuous person or not.

This was nothing at all. The emperor only had one son, and he was not the virtuous or not. But when Concubine Rong became pregnant again, the deputies of the State Council also had doubts. If Concubine Rong had another son and the emperor suddenly suffered a sudden change, who would he establish?

In the end, the Supreme Emperor came forward to solve this problem. The emperor personally wrote the crown prince's edict and placed it in Fengxian Hall. Once the emperor had any changes, the edict could be obtained to complete the inheritance of the throne. This is the source of the secret crown prince law of the empire.

Li Junwei relaxed in Shenjing for a while before he was declared the first time to attend the imperial predecessor meeting. Different from the fixed state meeting, the imperial predecessor meeting was relatively free. Except for the prime minister of the cabinet, the rest were decided by the emperor himself or the prime minister. Small-scale imperial predecessor meetings were usually in the imperial study room. When the scale was large, they chose to be held at the Qianqing Palace, and this time it happened to be in the Qianqing Palace.

"Mr. Chen, this time it's so formal, is there something big happening?" A cabinet member saw so many people coming, carefully inquiring about the news from the Central Court official Chen Ping.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, aren't you making things difficult for me? Just ask others about this."

This is the first time this Lord Gu has participated in the imperial meeting. This time he is here for the sake of the large number of people and the scene is solemn. In fact, the reason that several people who are often qualified to attend are already known is that the emperor wants to arrange a formal official position for King Yu to facilitate his participation in state affairs.

Not long after, Li Junwei came in, and he had already received the news, so today it was more formal, and he didn't have the usual laughs. He knew that he would become the Minister of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Governor of the Govern

In the cabinet, the position of the Minister of the Government is comparable to that of the Deputy. He is in charge of the work of one or several departments, not a permanent establishment or a system, but a temporary appointment. This is the way the royal family directly intervenes in government affairs. Of course, there are gains and losses. Li Junhua promised at the State Council that from now on, there will be no Prime Minister, only the King of the Government.

"Sir He, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Junwei was sitting bored. When he saw He Wenxi, a cabinet member in charge of Overseas Affairs, arrived, he immediately said hello.

When He Wenxi saw Li Junwei, he greeted him warmly, and the two sat down and started chatting.

He Wenxi was one of the first guards and participated in the work of the Security Bureau in his early years. By the time of founding the country, he had been in charge of the Security Bureau for many years, but when he was at his peak, he encountered two problems. One was that King Cheng Lin Junhong was getting older and the emperor intended to let him control the Security Bureau. Second, his brother He Wenrui became a powerful heir to the Prime Minister. It is unimaginable that his brothers control the regime and intelligence.

Therefore, He Wenxi retired successfully, voluntarily retreated, handed over the Security Bureau, and assisted his brother in becoming prime minister. Because he had a military post in the Security Bureau, Li Mingxun once wanted to work in the appeasement zone under the Lifanyuan Court, but was rejected by He Wenxi. He Wenxi took the initiative to apply to go to Europe to serve as the Imperial Minister to Europe.

So He Wenxi became the special envoy of the two emperors. Whether on the route back and forth to Europe or during his work in Europe, He Wenxi traveled to most corners of the world and almost all overseas colonies of the empire. He also did things well, just like when his term arrived two years ago, when King Pedro II of Portugal proposed the Brazilian plan, He Wenxi did not take this matter as the end of his ambassador to Europe. Instead, he pushed to become the beginning of his successor. Because of his resume, He Wenxi returned from Europe and directly took charge of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs.

He Wenxi was both a student of the Supreme Emperor and a close minister of the royal family. During the Western Expedition, Li Junwei also cooperated. The two were very familiar with each other. The main talks about internal affairs at the imperial meeting. Li Junwei was dizzy and only announced before the meeting that King Yu was the Minister of the Government and was in charge of affairs of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Immigration Department.

"Sir He, don't you congratulate me?" After the meeting, Li Junwei went directly to the yamen of the Ministry of Overseas Affairs. Li Junwei asked in the carriage he was traveling with.

He Wenxi smiled: "Prince, you should congratulate me. Since the establishment of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although the deputy minister has been in charge, my grandmother does not love my uncle and does not love her. This is better, and it is under the jurisdiction of the prince. In the future, we can hold our heads up and tremble in front of our colleagues. Besides, now that the glory is so glorious, it will definitely be a chore in the future.

Hey, I forgot to tell you, three days ago, the Ambassadors of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands to Shin Kyung officially informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Prince Orange has officially become the King of Britain and that the two countries have merged."

Li Junwei shook his head: "Oh, I thought I could stay in China for a little longer."

Both Li Junwei and He Wenxi knew that becoming the ruler in charge of foreign affairs was to seize the strategic opportunity period of chaos in Europe.

Although France has not declared war yet, it is a matter of time. Now Eastern Europe and Central Europe have fought with the Ottoman Empire. Next, Western Europe will definitely fight, forming a situation where the Catholic filial sons France and the Ottoman Empire fight against neighboring countries by themselves. The chaos in Europe is definitely a strategic opportunity for the empire.

Europe is too far away, and the empire is unlikely to intervene in the European battlefield on a large scale, but seizing European countries' colonies overseas is an excellent strategic opportunity. As the Indian Ocean region is controlled by the empire, the next focus will definitely be on America, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is necessary to integrate all parties and join forces with European countries. It is necessary to do a capable and prestigious person to do it. Who is the candidate? Of course, it is the unlucky Li Junwei.

This is why Li Junwei complained. Being a ruler was just the beginning and he was about to go to America soon.

When they arrived at the Overseas Affairs Department, all the staff here had come to greet him. Li Junwei frowned and looked at such a crowd of people who were applauding enthusiastically. Suddenly, he felt that something was missing. The Overseas Affairs Department naturally welcomed King Yu, and King Yu represented their greatest value.

"It seems to be something short." After a brief greeting, Li Junwei entered the building and said something to He Wenxi.

He Wenxi smiled and said, "There is a woman missing."

Li Junwei then remembered: "Yes, you are a ministerial-level unit, don't have female employees?"

He Wenxi said: "Originally there were, but we are a new department, so a small number of female staff are relatively young. And for your health and royal reputation, His Majesty has temporarily transferred them away."

Li Junwei was helpless: "My second brother really loves me."

There are female staff members in the ministerial-level units in Shenjing, but given the current public environment, most of the women are ‘other people’s wives’. In the Overseas Affairs Department, women are not only other people’s wives, but also other people’s young wives. This is too unfavorable to Li Junwei, so they can only choose a simple and crude method.

Li Junwei had no choice but to do this. There were too many women in the family. In the past, they were always away and could use this as a reason. Now they work in Shenjing, so there is no excuse. He could only say: "Okay, let's start working, Chief He, what do I need to do."

"name!"

"Who is it named, the building?"
