Chapter 405 Lingnan(2/2)
"Although this man is young, he is very thoughtful." Feng Ang sighed. "Unknowingly, he used one hundred thousand dollars as bait and almost dug a big hole for Lingnan."
Feng Zhidai nodded repeatedly, "This person looks honest and honest, but I never thought he could be so cruel and ruthless."
This is really an injustice to Li Yunze.
He really had no intention of laying an ambush for Li Er, he just wanted to borrow a group of soldiers and horses adapted to woodland warfare from Feng An to clean up the natives on the islands in various parts of Southeast Asia.
That 100,000 yuan was just a rental fee. Where did the idea of transporting troops to attack Guangzhou City come from?
Even if he really had this plan, at this time, even if Li Er pawned his dragon robe, he couldn't afford a hundred flying scissor galen ships, let alone find so many sailors who could operate these large ships.
At this time, basically all the sailors in the Tang Dynasty who were able to run seagoing ships had been transferred to Li Yunze's fleet.
"The dock cannot be expanded, but we still have to go out to sea to find the Spice Island."
Feng Ang smiled slightly and said, "Lingnan's productivity is not high. If we can find the Spice Island, it will be an important source of finance and taxation in the future."
Of course, Lingnan in this era cannot be compared with Lingnan in the modern world.
The population is small, the productivity is not high, there are dense forests everywhere, and there are no major products. It is indeed not easy to live a good life.
If you can control the Spice Island, it will be a huge source of income.
Coincidentally, many noble people think so too.
We can’t say that they don’t understand economics, we can only say that they don’t understand.
Luxury goods that are supplied on a large scale are no longer luxury goods, and it is even less possible to sell them at the price of luxury goods.
Li Yunze is not afraid that they will have this idea. If they don't have this idea, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to the savage land to incorporate these islands that naturally belong to Middle Earth into their territory.
He wanted the people of the Tang Dynasty to know that they should not stare at the Western Regions all day long. There was also countless wealth and land on the southern sea.
And in this era, as long as you make up your mind to get it, no one can beat them.
