"Since the prince has said so, I have no choice but to reply to my teacher like this."
Seeing that King Ning was resolute, Tong Yuan had no other choice.
5% of the shares is already a lot. Liu Jin only holds 10%, and even the Emperor only holds 20%. Prince Ning¡¯s appetite is really not that big, and he can¡¯t wait to eat it and become a big fat man.
"Well, I won't get involved in the big business of the Egyptian canal."
"But I wonder if your teacher is interested in attacking the Lodi Dynasty in northern Tianzhu together?"
Prince Ning nodded slightly. To be honest, he really felt that 5% of the shares was too small. With this share, he had already calculated the income for the year after the opening of the Egyptian canal, which was a matter of several million taels of silver. , if it is only 5% of the shares, it is only a few dollars.
It would be more cost-effective to capture more slaves on the Tianzhu continent. One slave can be worth dozens of taels of silver.
Originally, he thought that he and Liu Jin would work together to do it, call a few capable people, and each person would get a certain amount of achievements. It would be perfect. It would be best to work with Liu Jin to find a way to capture Egypt, so that There is no need to look at the Egyptians' faces and devour the entire canal to themselves.
Who knew that Liu Jin had come up with a shareholding system and wanted to go public? Liu Jin, who had always been a cannibal, did not even think about occupying Egypt, but planned to cooperate with Kansu II.
Kansu II is nothing, and Egypt is nothing. Regardless of its claim to be an ancient civilization, in King Ning's opinion, it is not difficult to occupy Egypt. An army of 50,000 is enough.
King Ning cannot raise an army of 50,000, but if Liu Jin is willing, there is still a way to raise an army of 50,000. Wouldn't it be good to take over Egypt easily and turn Egypt into a colony for one family?
Forget it, I won¡¯t participate in this Egyptian canal.
Now King Ning¡¯s main focus is on Tianzhu Continent, because the competition on Tianzhu Continent is too fierce.
There are vassal states established by dozens of vassal kings, large and small, as well as dozens of colonies, large and small. With such powerful power as the Western United Trading Company, one family may be able to swallow up the entire Tianzhu.
Therefore, the pressure of competition is high, and Prince Ning¡¯s main focus is on Tianzhu.
Tianzhu is a good place. It has a humid climate, fertile land, a lot of arable land, and is also extremely rich in various resources. Some people have discovered large gold, silver, and copper mines on the Tianzhu continent. These are all It's something valuable.
If you don¡¯t seize the time to fight for it now, you won¡¯t have your share by then.
You must know that the people around you are all vassal states and colonies. These vassal states were established by the descendants of the old Zhu family. You can't say that your brothers are fighting against each other, right?
As for the colonies, the boss behind each one is a big shot with great hands and eyes, and they are not easy to offend.
So everyone¡¯s goal is very clear, that is to occupy as much territory as possible. The first one to occupy it will be yours.
As for East Africa, although the competition is equally fierce and there are many vassal states and colonies, Africa is considered a civilized desert land. The Kunlun slaves here are still in a very primitive tribal stage, very lazy, and It¡¯s worthless, it doesn¡¯t understand anything, and it can¡¯t even be taught.
Therefore, the development of many vassal states and colonies in East Africa is relatively slow, and they can only continue to attract Ming people to immigrate there, and at the same time purchase a large number of white slaves.
In comparison, Tianzhu has greater value and higher development potential.
"However, the southern plateau of Tianzhu is almost completely divided now, but the most fertile, richest and most populous northern Tianzhu has never been able to get its hands on it.
??The North Tianzhu under the notice of the Lodi Dynasty is very powerful. It is not easy for these vassal states and colonies to take it down.
So King Ning thought of Liu Jin. If Liu Jin was willing to take action, Beitianzhu would be nothing.
With Liu Jin¡¯s strong strength, it is not difficult to conquer Beitianzhu if he has money and people.
"I'm afraid my mentor has no interest in Bei Tianzhu."
Tong Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said.
Liu Jin is very busy and has no time to pay attention to the affairs of Northern India. What's more, there are many overseas colonies in which Liu Jin has shares. Liu Jin is the major shareholder of the largest colony in South Africa.
¡°Furthermore, there are many eyes staring at Liu Jin now. He is famous for his right and wrong, and Liu Jin has also kept a low profile. It is better not to get involved in such a big thing.
¡°That¡¯s really a pity.¡±
¡°The whole of Tianzhu, the richest, most fertile and most populousThe beauty came in carrying several plates. Some of them had an ingot of shining gold on them, and some plates had pearls, agates, emeralds, and jade on them.
"Master Tong, this is a bit of my heart, please accept it."
King Ning smiled and said.
"My lord, I never dare to accept these things. My mentor has repeatedly told us that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way, and uses it in a measured way. This is no reward for no merit, so I really don't dare to accept it."
Tong Yuan looked at it and said firmly.
He himself comes from a big landowner family. With a teacher like Liu Jin, he also has his own business, plantation, etc. In fact, he is not short of money at all, so naturally he will not accept these things from King Ning.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s true that famous teachers give birth to great disciples. I¡¯m so rude. I shouldn¡¯t use these dirty things to humiliate Master Tong.¡±
When King Ning saw Tong Yuan's attitude, he immediately smiled and waved to signal those people to get down.
Then he looked at a huge map of Tianzhu and said: "Tianzhu is a good place, but currently, there are too few Han people here. This is something that the king is very worried about."
"My lord, this matter will be easy to handle."
"I heard from Li Xiang that there are now 150,000 Ming people in Ning State, and the prince has millions of slaves. From my point of view, the prince only needs to buy more women and distribute these women to the Ming people."
"As long as there are enough women, a man can give birth to many children, and with dozens or hundreds of women, in a few decades, are you still worried that there will not be enough Han people?" (Remember the website address: www. hlnovel.com
