The failure of Jinshan County's expansion was also a knot in Gao Huan's heart.

Gao Huan learned from Shikai that with the strength of the new merchant company, he would definitely not be able to compete with the Spanish colonists.

War is about fighting the economy and population. Not to mention that new businesses and companies are not even comparable to Spain, even the Governor General of New Spain is not as good as Spain, let alone several Governor General in South America.

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to provide materials and arms assistance.

The area in the world that is more suitable for human survival is probably near the Tropic of Cancer.

The main population on the earth is concentrated in this area, and geography determines many things. In this area, there are only two areas where there are opportunities to form a super empire, one is East Asia and the other is North America.

Because both areas have livable plains that can feed a large population.

Gao Huan did not want to appear a Beiyinzhou controlled by the Western world, and the Ganchao must gain a foothold in Yinzhou.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Gao Huan decided to send personnel to support him.

In the palace, Shi Kai was led by the guards to the imperial garden and saw Gao Huan standing by the pond with his hands behind his back.

"My dear Shi Kai, please pay homage to Your Majesty!" Shi Kai came behind Gao Huan and felt a little nervous, mainly because he was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would be embarrassed when he saw him.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor fooled him to give up his career in the court and go to such a ghost place like Yinzhou, but now he is standing in front of the emperor, the victim. The emperor must be embarrassed.

It would be fine if His Majesty the Emperor was unreasonable, just like Yuan Benchu, I was embarrassed to see Tian Feng, so I could just kill Tian Feng.

At this time, Gao Huan heard the sound and turned around. When he saw Shi Kai, he suddenly laughed and said, "My dear, I am really worried about me. Have you reminded you that when you arrive in Yinzhou, you must strengthen your defense and prepare more guns and cannons. Why do you only care about digging gold and forget my instructions? You must know the truth that a man is guilty of possessing a treasure! But this is all in the past, so I won't mention it. You must pay attention in the future. Do you understand?"

When Shi Kai heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly saluted and said, "What Your Majesty taught me is that when I lost money and forgot Your Majesty's teachings, I was defeated by Jinshan. I think about it now, I am really regretful!"

Gao Huan did remind Shi Kai and also gave him a batch of cannons and fine iron, but Kingsoft County was busy pursuing gold, slowing down the fort project, resulting in the failure of the fort and the fort when the Spanish attacked.

However, with Kingsoft's strength and distance from Ganchao, as long as the Spaniards made up their minds, Kingsoft County would be difficult to defend Kingsoft County even if they had made full preparations.

Gao Huan saw the corpse's attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and held his hand, "I won't mention the past. In fact, I have a responsibility. Just come back, come and go with me."

At noon, the sun shone brightly and the ground was a little white. At that moment, Gao Huan took the stones and walked along the eaves of the corridor, wandering around in the garden.

"My dear! I have already understood the situation of Kingsoft. After discussing with the cabinet, I will give you an answer today!" Gao Huan said casually in front.

Shi Kai became nervous. After he arrived at Jinshan, he understood that His Majesty the Emperor had always wanted to expand the planting in Yinzhou, but the court and the people were not concerned about it. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor personally fabricated a scam that the local people were full of gold and the local people were enthusiastic and hospitable.

"Your Majesty, what is the decision of the court?" Shi Kai asked nervously.

Gao Huan did not directly answer, "My dear, tell me honestly, what do you think of Yinzhou?"

Shi Kai was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the land of Yinzhou gives me the feeling that the first is vastness, the second is rich in resources, and the third is primitive."

Gao Huan asked, "Do you think the land of Yinzhou is worth the imperial court's spending a lot of money to expand it?"

"Of course it's worth it!" Shi Kai immediately said: "Although Yinzhou is sparsely populated and has not been developed, as long as the court is willing to invest, it can develop in decades. In addition, sparsely populated is actually a good thing. I heard that Hakka people in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian often fight with local people for a few acres of mountainous land and water sources, but in Yinzhou, as long as they are willing to go, the land will be planted casually. Therefore, I think that the court should not give up Yinzhou!"

The Hakka people were Han people who moved south during the Jin and Song dynasties. They moved to Guangdong and Guangxi and Fujian, and divided the land resources and water sources of the locals, so the conflict between the two sides was very fierce.

The vast land in Yinzhou will be a solution to solve domestic land conflicts and increase the per capita arable land area.

However, Tuozhi requires investment in the early stage, unlike doing business, you can make money by just one trip.

Therefore, merchants in Jiangnan run westward and rarely go eastward to Yinzhou.

After all, their goods can be sold soon after they arrive in India, and they can bring back Indian specialties when they return to make another profit. When they go to Yinzhou, the goods are difficult to sell, and there is no goods to buy them back on the return trip.

There were few ships to Yinzhou, and few people immigrated to Yinzhou, so it was difficult to rely on folk cultivation and the court must support it.

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will not give up Yinzhou. Although the Councillor's discussion this time rejected the court's direct dispatch of troops, the court will help Xinshang Company, recruit a group of retired soldiers and officers, and support Xinshang Company by hiring mercenaries."

Shi Kai was a little disappointed when he heard that the court was unwilling to send troops directly. However, after he came back, he ran around and learned some situations, knowing that the court did not want the war to expand now.

Because if the war is enlarged now, the Qian Dynasty would fight thousands of miles away, and it would be difficult to defeat the Spanish who had colonies nearby supplies.

"I understand!" Shi Kaixingli said, "Then I will recruit people now!"

Shi Kai was a little anxious. If the court did not send troops, it would rely on Xinshang Company to raise it by itself. The appeal and strength of Xinshang Company would definitely take a lot of time to organize a mercenary to go to Jinshan, and he would have no time to waste it.

Seeing this, Gao Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have something to tell you!"

Shi Kai said anxiously: "Please give your Majesty instructions!"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "I will let someone cooperate with you in recruiting mercenaries. In the past few days, there may be reporters from major newspapers to interview you. I hope you can tell them in detail about the atrocities of Western colonists in Yinzhou and tell the people how they harmed the people of Yinzhou in order to recruit mercenaries!"

Shi Kai understood Gao Huan's meaning. Although money is useful, he also wanted to let the mercenary soldiers know that they were engaged in a just war, and the war was not just for money, but also for good deeds, or for internationalism.

Gao Huan continued: "The court did not send troops directly, but it was actually a delaying strategy. The possibility of war expansion cannot be ruled out! If Spain continues to increase its troops and must expand the scale of the war, then I will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Xinshang Company lose, and will definitely send troops directly. At that time, the imperial court will directly send troops to Yinzhou to fight the Spanish. The biggest difficulty is logistics supply. In order to prevent the war from expanding, I hope that the Xinshang Company can accelerate the agricultural and industrial construction of the expanded plant land, and ensure that once a large-scale war begins, the expanded plant land has the ability to provide food supplies to the army and the consumption of weapons and ammunition!"

Gao Huan believes that there will be a big battle with the Western Yi in Yinzhou. Ganchao is just delaying time now. He hopes that Xinshang Company can develop near Jinshan and provide logistical support for the army to retreat.

Otherwise, the Spanish would replenish supplies nearby, but the Gan army would need to transport grain and armies from Gan Dynasty, and the war would definitely not be won.

After hearing Gao Huan's words, Shi Kai's confidence immediately increased, "I understand, I will build a good land for expansion!"
