Guo Peng prepared 10,000 troops for Guo Jun.

This is his starting force in South India, and it is Guo Peng's investment as an angel investor.

There is also enough food for this 10,000 people to eat for half a year, military ordnance and military supplies for half a year, as well as a series of daily necessities, which cost a huge amount of money. It was loaded with twenty-eight sea ships, and there are more to follow.

The investment in opening up overseas territory at such a scale is by no means possible to afford it in ordinary small countries, and the difficulty of opening up overseas territory is by no means a word or two, just a picture of it.

The investment of real money and silver is under tremendous pressure and doubts, and there cannot be any mistakes, otherwise the questioning like a tide is definitely not something that ordinary emperors can bear.

He originally wanted to prepare more troops for Guo Jun, which could help him expand his territory and establish the Duchy of Western Shu faster, but unfortunately, the Wei Empire could not afford it.

In other words, it is the backward transportation means that cannot be supported by this era.

According to the current configuration, it is not easy to support for three years, only ten thousand people.

So when Guo Peng was doing this, he realized that it was not easy to engage in overseas colonization and outward enfeoffment.

For some regimes, perhaps even if they get a world map and want to explore the world, they do not have enough confidence and motivation.

The investment in advance is too high, and the return cycle is too long.

It will take at least three years or even longer to wait until the overseas development team can gain a foothold and be self-sufficient.

Even if there are fertile alluvial plains and warm and humid climates there, it is especially suitable for the growth of crops, but the drainage work alone takes a long time from wastelands to fertile fields.

Therefore, in addition to the army, some agricultural experts from the imperial court sent to Guo Jun, who served and fought for a long time on the empire's land reclamation battlefield. The hard work of these people is indispensable in the Jiangnan Development Operation.

Their efforts are very important, and without their scientific guidance, it would never be so easy to reclaim wasteland.

With the help and exploration of these agricultural experts, enough land can be reclaimed in the shortest time and the crops are planted to start to obtain production to welcome the next wave of immigration.

During this period, all needs need to be provided by the mother country, and the mother country needs to be continuously high-intensity blood transfusions.

If it was so easy for overseas colonization to be enfeoffed, Westerners would not have taken three hundred years to complete this system. They would have to go through several changes of overlords to finally establish domination and exploitation of the world.

At the moment, even if Mr. Guo has opened the perspective of God and prepared everything, it really takes a lot of time and effort to do all of this.

Three years of food, three years of military supplies, and three years of minimum living security are equivalent to an expedition that took three years, which is also a test for the Wei Empire itself.

Guo Peng decided to pay half of the expenses of this part of the expenses and half of the imperial treasury, which was equivalent to the joint efforts of the treasury and the internal treasury to assist Guo Jun in completing this series of developments.

Later, four sons went to sea and also followed this model.

Whether this series of developments can succeed is a huge question mark.

Even if it succeeds, it will be a problem for subsequent immigration. Will it really cause unrest if people who are accustomed to living in China suddenly move away from their hometowns and move to foreign lands?

The selected thousand elites can still follow Guo Jun under the spur of discipline and honor, while the nine thousand new recruits are relatively less aware of it. They just obey orders. It is really hard to say whether they will feel a strong homesickness in the future.

No one told them that they needed to stay in the local area forever and build the local area into the second China.

Their families will arrive in the local area after they successfully gain a foothold and become the first overseas immigrants.

At that time, the Wei Empire will give them some compensation, welfare arrangements, etc., tax reductions, rewards for property, status, etc., which is another large expenditure.

And only these tens of thousands of people obviously cannot occupy the local area better, and subsequent immigration will definitely continue to be launched.

In addition to some of the outlaws who can be recruited, most of them still have to rely on administrative orders to raise 200,000 to 300,000 people to arrive in the local area, laying the foundation for the Guo family's Western Shu Duchy of China.

Let them reproduce overseas.

Guo Peng thought about some policies of the previous dynasty, such as demoting the criminals to the border to fill the local population.

When Ban Chao reopened the Western Regions, he told his subordinates that the people who led the development of the Western Regions were all a group of criminals who could not survive in the mainland. They did not have good ideological awareness, no sense of family and country, but only their pursuit and desire for interests.

Therefore, we should not have too high ideological and moral requirements for these people, and we should also give appropriate benefits. We should lead the way at critical moments, control them with courage and interests, and not use anything else.

This is Ban Chao's victory in making money from nothing.

But Guo Peng could not do this. He could not give a group of scumbags to Guo Jin to expand his territory. What he needed was not a group of scumbags, but a group of ordinary people.

In addition to using interests to tempt, most people still need to use administrative orders.

In the foreseeable future, the Wei Empire needed to continuously transfusion blood to the Duchy of Western Shu and provide various help. Only in this way can the Duchy of Western Shu be truly established, gain a foothold, gradually annex the Indian continent to the north, and give the mother country a reward.

The same is true for other overseas bans in the future, and a lot of help is needed, which will test the finances of the Wei Empire and the attitude of the emperor Guo Jin.

Although Guo Peng's policy of exclusion of foreign vetoes was successfully implemented and implemented, it brought great doubts to the ministers.

Many people are waiting and watching, and they continue to wait and see an emperor who has conquered a huge territory but is still unsatisfied.

The danger of going to sea is so great and so difficult, and the journey is still so far, can it really be supported?

Do you really want to enfeoff the prince to such a distance?

Will nothing happen?

Wouldn't the prince die there and let the emperor lose all his money?

No one knew the ending, and even Guo Peng himself did not know it, but this did not prevent him from continuing to promote this policy and began to send people to guide public opinion in Luoyang City.

He wants to lead everyone to learn history and the pioneering history of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Under his suggestion, some people with very sensitive minds conducted large-scale in-depth research on the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty's feudal development during this period, and then continued to write various articles and even books to study the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty's feudal development in all aspects.

Learn how the ancestors of the Western Zhou Dynasty expanded their territory from Yuzhou to all directions through feudalization.

Historiography has never been a popular science and academic research has not yet moved downward. After all, the few people who understand history are after all.

Even until modern times, not many people have learned about history, and systematic historical education has not been fully developed.

Before Guo and Wei were established, there was no systematic history education. Historical knowledge was limited to the hands of the people who governed the Spring and Autumn Period. Most scholars only had a little understanding.

It was not until Guo Peng reformed the Imperial College education that the concept of history education was introduced.

Many Tai students who had no family accumulation and tradition began to understand the history of the Wei Empire and the Eastern Han Empire.

Otherwise, they would have thought that the Han Empire existed from the very beginning until it was replaced by the Wei Empire.

Then they learned about the story of the alternation of the Han Empire and the existence of the Xinmang Dynasty, as well as the alternation of the Han and Wei dynasties that everyone had experienced not long ago.

They began to have a certain historical concept.

It was not until a few months ago that Guo Peng ordered the compilation of historical documents into books that could be sold to the public, helping the public understand history, understand history, and know the past of this country.

This triggered a wave of research history among folk scholars.

Until now, the study of the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty's feudal history advocated by Guo Peng has prompted a wave of articles and books on feudal research in the Western Zhou Dynasty to be published.

For a time, people everywhere discussed the history of the feudal period during the Western Zhou Dynasty and understood the past and present of this country.

Guo Peng personally guided the writing of some research articles, and focused their research on the help and giving to the ban on the Zhou royal family at the beginning of King Wu of Zhou's enfeoffment.

He tried to let everyone understand that the help of the Zhou royal family to the ban were the same as the help of the Wei Empire to the ban.

When the Central Plains were opened, the feudal states in Hebei and Jiangnan expanded their territory bit by bit with the support of the Zhou royal family, and built the land originally occupied by the Yi tribes of the Dongyi, Huaiyi, Northeast Yi and other Yi into the current major prefectures.

It makes people realize that the territory occupied by the Wei Empire did not belong to China from the beginning, but was obtained only after the ancestors conquered and developed operations little by little.

The publication of this type of articles and the publication of this type of books had a very significant impact on the entire Wei Dynasty's intellectual community, guiding a large group of scholars to begin to re-study the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the historical impact of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the subsequent hundreds of years.

After doing this, the debate about Guo Peng's franchise children overseas gradually subsided, but they turned to the study and debate on the Western Zhou Dynasty's franchise.

Public opinion is gradually calmed down.

Guo Peng also had more time to prepare for the subsequent abdication.

But at this time, Guo Jin put forward a new requirement for Guo Peng.

He hopes to find out where Guo Peng intends to enfeoff his third brother Guo Qiong, and after he ascends the throne, he will issue an imperial edict and enfeoff Guo Qiong.

Guo Peng just looked at Guo Jin silently for a while.

Guo Jin looked at him without fear and looked at him for a while.

"Didn't you really want your brothers to leave before?"

"That's because my son doesn't quite understand his father's painstaking efforts."

"Do you understand now?"

"I understand. My son has fully understood the father's painstaking efforts. If his son encounters such a situation in the future, he will definitely enfeoff the children without hesitation."

"Did Ajun say anything to you?"

"Some things from the past are not worth mentioning."

"That's how it is."

Guo Peng did not object and nodded silently.

"good."
