Just when Yang Anguo and Pingyi sent the mission to visit the Golden Horde, Wu Guocheng, the head of the Great Zhou Republic in Tianjin, was meeting with one of his cousins, Wu Guohao, the leader of the Yijiu faction, in his official residence.

Wu Guohao is not a politician, nor a soldier, but a wealthy businessman.He is the largest shareholder of the Republican Bank and the Bank of Tianjin, in addition to holding shares in several overseas charterers.It is not enough to say that he is rich in an enemy country.

And now the main camp of the Republican Party is also very different from the beginning of the beginning.No longer engaged in singing, winemaking, real estate, publishing, etc., these businesses were spun off from the Republic and owned by the heirs of the different tribes of Wujiayuan.

Now the main business of the Republican business empire is the metallurgy, military industry, shipbuilding, mining and other heavy industries (which should be heavy handicrafts, after all, the era of industrialization has not yet come) industry.

Eight hundred years later, these industries may be considered sunset industries.But now it’s still very vibrant!

"Sixteenth brother, the military commander said the Mongols were not so easy to defeat, they were very much at war.This war is likely to last for decades!”

He smiled and said about the war.Decades of war, to the führer nicknamed "The Old Captain," seems to be a minor thing.

Wu Guohao is younger than Wu Guocheng, 40 years old, looks good, and has three wiss of beards.In the whole Wu family country generation, he walked sixteen, so it is often called the 16th brother or 16 Lang.

He sat opposite the Fuehrer, large in size, and there was no pleasant expression on his face.

In the Great Zhou Republic, the Führer is not the supreme ruler.That is to say, the two powers of the original Wu Haogu and Wu Yijiu are relatively large, and then a generation is not as good as a generation.

At the end of the centenary of the Republic, the development of the New World and the advancement of firearms technology had reduced the status of military citizens in the political life of the country.The status of the merchants is constantly improving... The present Great Zhou Republic is almost like the Eastern Song Empire, a country that is manipulated by businessmen!

As one of the leaders of the powerful business groups that can manipulate the country, although Wu Guohao has no official position, he has no less power than his cousin of the Fuehrer, but does not have the historical position of the latter.

“For decades?”Wu Guohao is a taciturn man, not much, but can always say the idea, "that's a few decades of big business!"

War is a business!

Wu Guocheng smiled and nodded: "Sixteen brothers, this business is not only selling armor gunpowder ah!"

“Oh?”Wu Guohao responded, without saying.

Wu Guocheng then said: "And can also develop the east coast of North America!"

“East coast of North America?”Wu Guohao stood still, "Third brother (Wu Guocheng trip three), do you want to ship from Xinyue State?"

“Could it be done?”Wu Guocheng asked, "Do you see the report of the United States of North America on the coal and iron resources and inland water transport of the four states of New Yuezhou, New Binzhou, Xinze State, Xinhua State, etc.?"What a great place!The North and the South are no better than that!”

The chosen country!Of course, the place is good... but the development of this time and space in North America did not start from the East Coast, but from the West Coast.So decades after the start of the North American colonial movement, the population on the east coast of North America is still very small.

When there are few people, they naturally cannot develop.

Therefore, to develop the east coast of North America, the first is to attract more Han people to settle.In order to attract the Han population in the past, there must be a chance to make money.

Although the land on the east coast of North America is fertile and the resources are very rich, there is no gold, silver and brass mines that are enough to attract Han Chinese to move.

Without profiteering, it is not possible to attract Han Chinese immigrants.So now the east coast of North America and the Great Lakes of the new Yue, Xinbin, Xinze, Xinhu and other four states, in addition to the garrison is the prisoner of exile.

"Sixteen brothers," Wu Guocheng said, "you think, if the battle of Tiemu is really going to be fought for decades, the battlefield will be from the western region to the black land belt in Eastern Europe and Persian, big food and other places."The demand for military products is huge!The military has always been a profit, and it should be possible to pay more wages to the workers in the factories in the new state.”

"But the cost of building a factory in New Yuezhou is also high, and the salary paid is high..."

“But the freight rate has gone down.”Wu Guocheng said, "If shipped from Xuzhou, the sailing ship must sail at sea for half a year or more to reach Gibraltar."If shipped from New Vietnam, you can reach Gibraltar in up to 20 days.

In addition, the time to sail at sea is shorter and the risk is even lower.There are fewer security payments to be paid... all that is saved is money!”

Wu Guohao is still silent.

"In addition," said Wu Guocheng, "the 16th brother always knows what our ancestors said about North America?"

“The Land of Choice!”

“Yes!”Wu Guocheng nodded, "Since it is a choice, it will develop there sooner or later!"Shouldn’t we go to multiple places?”

“The Circle?”Wu Guohao asked, “Where is the circle?”

Wu Guocheng smiled: "The port, the estuary, the mines, the forest land ... the good stuff is still a little bit."Sixteenth brother, as long as the Republican Party is willing to set up a factory or mine in any of the four states of New Yuezhou, New Binzhou, Xinze State, Xinhu State and other four states, and employ more than ten thousand people, let the Republican Party circle a hundred miles in any non-private area in North America.

“Is that all?”Wu Guohao is still not able to do so.

Wu Guocheng spat out and looked at his cousin, “Sixteen brothers, say, what do you want?”

“Make money!”Wu Guohao said, “I must ensure that my factory in North America can be profitable!”This is the most important thing... the business of losing money can't be done!As long as we can make money, we will naturally increase our investment in North America, and we don't need to go anywhere."

“How can you make money by selling?”The thighs are wrinkled.

“You can give an allowance!”Wu Guohao spat out two words, "The government of the United States of America has a large surplus, and can go forward to set up factories and provide subsidies to the comptoirs of developing cities."In this way, eastern North America can be developed very quickly.”

"This..." Wu Guocheng thought, "I can't do this."

Wu Guohao smiled, "You are the head of state, and as long as you make suggestions, I can go to East Washington to lobby the United States Parliament."

East Washington is the capital of the United States of America, located on the west coast of North America, between Haidong and New Township, about the lake after San Francisco.It is now called New Washington, and there is a common name, called Sands Town.Because there are many gold mines, it is why it has been obtained.

In the United States of North America, there are many places with "gold, silver and copper", and there are mines!

So the summer immigrants who went to the Americas with a dream of getting rich, and when they got off the boat, they would go straight to those places with the names of "gold, silver, and copper".Not even the land sent in vain!

Only immigrants who have broken their gold dreams will go to take a piece of land to settle down or do something small business.

As for working in the new world, they generally go to places with the name of "gold, silver and copper", where the price is very high, and it is easy to save a fortune.

And other resources in North America, such as wood, coal, iron ore, etc., basically no one wants to develop and use.The fertile soil in central and eastern North America, because it is far away from the "gold, silver, copper" area, so no one wants it, and it is difficult to send it out in vain - a citizen casually has 500 acres at hand, of course, it will not be planted for food.

Their agricultural products also have to sell money, and the "gold, silver, copper" mining area is the largest market.Miners have money, naturally want to eat better, beef, lamb or whatever, can sell a good price.

So the middle and eastern parts of North America are now quite desolate.

The treasury of the United States of America is full of gold, silver and brass!

Because the development of gold, silver, copper, and private gold mining in the United States of America requires taxing the United States government.It is usually a percentage of the minerals.

And when the gold, silver, and copper left North America and shipped to the Great Republic, the U.S. government of North America would have to pay an offshore tax.

The tax rate is not very high, plus a 7.5% (this is the United States local tax, the Grand Zhou Republican government also charges 7.5%), but the accumulation of decades is more than 7.5%, but it is also a considerable wealth.

And the governments of the United States of America did not spend much, that is, occasional wars with the natives of the Inferior.The intensity of the war was so low that the militias of the United States of America could deal with it.

Therefore, the mining taxes collected by the United States of America will not be spent, and the more it will accumulate.

Wu Guohao was a banker, and of course knew that the government of the United States of America was rich.That is why the idea of swapping allowances for investment was proposed.

The "allowance for investment" plus the "Mong Song Hundred Years War" and the subsequent "Chinese Unification War" later became the booster of the development of the United States of America.

Therefore, after the unification of China and China, the United States of America and the new Song Kingdom, which were vigorously developed by the Eastern Song Dynasty, became a new division in the Chinese world!

A new “Three Kingdoms” is already underway.

The real rise of Tiemu has not only affected the historical process of China, but also has a major impact on the rise of the Great Stone Empire in the West.

And the black land began to enjoy the golden account of the woman really is really different, although the big stone empire out of a lot of faint, but the whole country is still full of ideals.

This is mainly because of the existence of the "big stone guard" system, there are always generations of dependent teenagers from the grasslands or Caucasian mountains, are absorbed into the Guardsmen's Youth League to participate in long and hard training.

For the ruling class of the Great Stone Empire, these people are vibrant and fresh blood!

They have nothing but a skill, they must fight, they must build a career.

So before the rise of Tiemu, the Great Stone Empire had maintained its pace of expansion.The empire on the southern line suppressed the burgeoning Ayyubids and defeated the Crusader states attached to Eastern Rome.It occupies the eastern Mediterranean and most of Syria.

On the Western Front, the Empire captured the entire peninsula of Asia Minor, and the soldiers pointed directly to Constantinople, the capital of East Rome.

In the Mediterranean, the Great Stone Empire imitated the Carais warship, formed its own navy, and fought with the Kingdom of Egypt and the four kingdoms of Italy.

In order to get closer to the West, before the rise of Tiemu, Yelu Rugu even planned a relocation.

Prepare to move the nation's capital from Tabolith to Brusa on the Asia Minor peninsula.In order to organize the attack on Constantinople!

After being severely repaired by the Mongols, Zhenluu did not dare to live in the Great Liszt, which was closer to the grasslands.

So when the mission of the Grand Zhou Republic arrived in the Mediterranean, Ruugu was busy moving – from Big Bres to Brussa, so there was no effort to receive the mission.

Therefore, when Yang Anguo and Pyi returned from the Black Sea, they stopped directly in Brussa on the eastern shore of the Bosphorus and saw the straight-rugou who had just moved his home.

“Wang the iron tree really?”Ye Rufus frowned, “Your Great Zhou Republic is so far away from Tiemu, why can’t you pass him?”

"Because Tie Mu really and Huaxia are enemies!"Ping Yi said seriously, "My Zhou Republic is the leader of the summers and pursues the policy of Chinese priority, so we must safeguard the interests of China."Tie Muzhen, as long as Huaxia is the enemy, is the enemy of the big week."

Are you the summer leaders?Jeremiah thought to himself: Who is angry?

Yelu Rugu frowned and said, “Both of the East and the Songs of the East and the West acknowledge that the Great Week is the leader of the summer?”

Yang Anguo said, "Sire, who are the leaders of the summers, we can say more in the future, and the immediate priority is to form a network of iron and wood-based encirclement as soon as possible."

“How to surround?”Rupert asked.

Yang Anguo said: "The 200,000 troops of the West Song have begun to march west!"Our country and the East Song will provide financial and military assistance to the Golden Horde and your country.so that your two countries may reinvigorate their armies and launch an attack from behind the iron wood.

In this way, the iron wood will fall into the back of the enemy, and it should not be difficult to defeat."

"Well," he said, straight out of his mouth, but he really had no interest in fighting with Tiemu, and he did not have the real strength to defeat Tiemu.

There is no strength because the Great Stone Guards have gradually disintegrated because of the real rise of iron wood, most of the Mongolian men in the Guard have gone to Tiemuzhen, and in order to cove the remaining Caucasians, Ruugu was forced to implement hereditary system in the Guards.As a result, the combat effectiveness of the Guards plummeted, and it was not the opponent of the Mongols at all.

“All right!”Straight Rugu still did not publicly reject the proposal of the Great Zhou Republic, and when he wanted to come, as long as he helped, he could fight there from the big Zhou country.

However, it never occurred to him that Tiemu really did not intend to sit and wait for the siege, just when the mission of the Great Zhou Republic was active and cobbled together the alliance against Mongolia, the army of Tiemu really had left Samargan and came to the west.
