    "Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, thought for a moment with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to occupy a port on Jeju Island and engage in trade first, but letting this kid come here will whet my appetite.  , I want them all.¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll take it all.¡± Wang Rulong chuckled.

    "Aren't you afraid of dying?" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him.

    It is impossible to eat Tamnado Island in one bite.

    Although Zhao Hao never admits that Jiangnan Group is following the old path of European overseas colonization.  He insisted that he was maintaining the world system with the Ming Dynasty as the core, helping all the vassal states in the Chinese civilization circle to resist the invasion of evil Western forces, and ultimately allowing all vassal states to bathe in the glory of the Celestial Kingdom and reconstruct a more connected world.  A tight circle of Greater China civilization!

    ¡°However, we can still critically absorb the set of experiences and lessons learned by the Western powers in establishing colonies.  In this way, when reconstructing our own world system, we can avoid detours and make it faster and more economical!

    The most taboo thing about overseas colonization is to be greedy for big things and seek perfection. If you don¡¯t always pay attention to the input-output ratio, it will often lead to a surge in occupation costs, which will in turn bring down the empire itself.

    Therefore, when occupying any piece of land, you must carefully evaluate whether the investment and return can be balanced.  Only areas with low investment and high returns can be occupied.  If the investment and return are similar, we must find ways to reduce costs, such as adopting more economical governance methods.

    In this regard, there are too many examples of success and failure of various colonial countries. Mr. Zhao has to take warning - especially don't try to occupy a piece of land easily!

    Even if a place like Tamna Island is extremely docile to the Ming Dynasty, once it is taken as its own, even if there is no rebellion, the cost of maintaining internal rule will be too high.  Various expenses such as bureaucracy, border defense, public security, disaster relief, and people's livelihood will also turn it into a black hole that swallows up the group's profits.

    ¡° Moreover, the land on Tamna Island is barren and there is no conditions for large-scale immigration. Even long-term returns cannot be guaranteed.

    So what benefits can Tamna Island bring to Jiangnan Group?

    First of all, it is located at the heart of the shipping route between China, North Korea and Japan. Controlling it basically controls the maritime trade of the three countries.  This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Hao wants to attack Jeju Island - Sino-Japanese trade is one of the three pillars of the future Jiangnan overseas trade system.  Its profits are so high that Jiangnan Group must definitely keep it in its hands.

    No way, who made Japan super rich in gold and silver

    Secondly, Jeju Island is a place for raising horses, which is what the Ming Dynasty lacked. It will have extremely high strategic value in dealing with the threat of northern Tartars in the future.  Moreover, stallions can also be introduced and fine-bred draft horses can be cultivated here to provide transportation capacity guarantee for the group's landing operations in the future.

    Furthermore, the high-quality pastures in the Halla Mountains can also raise cattle and sheep on a large scale, providing the employees of Jiangnan Group with much-needed animal protein.  In the future, if the tinplate technology is conquered, it can also be made into canned meat to ensure the food supply for the expedition fleet This is also very important, because the cattle of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to be killed casually, although Mr. Zhao has never cut off beef on his dining table.  But engaging in large-scale beef cattle breeding locally is just asking for trouble.

    In addition, Jeju¡¯s citrus is very good. Canned tangerines can prevent crew members from getting septicemia.  However, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty had rich experience in this area. They could even raise bean sprouts on the ship, so there was no urgent need for canned oranges.

    Oh, by the way, the island has good scenery and hot springs. We can build several sanatoriums for the group so that employees and security team members can come and see the Ama Hot Spring

    If you think about it carefully, you can enjoy all the above benefits without directly occupying them.  So why bother with all that awesome work?

    So it¡¯s better to control indirectly, it¡¯s more comfortable to be the Supreme Emperor.  In this way, the Jiangnan Group only needs to focus on building a key city, turning it into a transit station for maritime trade in Northeast Asia, a military base for combating Japanese pirates, and a model for promoting the beautiful life of the Ming Dynasty.

    As for outside this city, it would be better for the Li Dynasty to rule.  In this way, all the burdens will be borne by the Li Dynasty official, and all conflicts will be on the Li Dynasty's side. The Jiangnan Group will not be involved in the troubled matters, and the cost of governance will naturally be greatly reduced.

    In this way, the cost-benefit ratio will be greatly improved and Tamna Island will become a strong cornerstone of Jiangnan Group instead of a burden that drags down the group.

    Since we don¡¯t plan to directly occupy Tamna Island, there is no need to sacrifice the near and far and go into the muddy waters of Jeju City.

    It would be wiser to open a port in Dajing County, avoid the political entanglements of Li Dynasty's dog-blood drama, and do your own thing quietly.

    "But the name Dajing County is too unpleasant, we have to change it later!"

    ??~~

    At this time, Pu Chengxing returned to the black tail boat, and the three of them stopped talking.  Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to tell Pu Chengxing that heThe extinct volcano that was pulled up abruptly must be in a trance.  It seems that I am deeply shocked by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

    Pu Chengxing was quite proud when he saw this. He felt that this was the most spectacular place on Tamna Island, so he asked Zhao Hao diligently if he was interested in climbing the mountain?

    He originally thought that Mr. Zhao would be too lazy to get off the boat, but Zhao Hao became interested, nodded and said, "Go and have a look."

    The fleet slowly sailed into the long harbor.

    ?Chengshan and the winding ridges and reefs at the foot of the mountain form a long arm reaching into the seaChengshan is the elbow of this arm.

    Tamna Island and the Seongsan Mountain Range sandwich an excellent harbor that is two kilometers long and one kilometer wide - Seongsanpo.

    Zhao Hao and the two golden kings beside him exchanged glances, and all three of them showed satisfied expressions.

    This place can be used as the home port base for the future fleet against Japan.
