Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 149 The voyage around the world has not been completed

Since the imperial court reached an agreement to establish Ningzhou as a special zone, all configurations for Ningzhou have been upgraded.

The official road from the capital to Ningzhou has begun to expand. Of course, there is still a long way to go from the eight-lane concrete road that Xu Mochen wanted.

However, it was much better than before, so Xu Mochen and his party did not spend much time before coming to Ningtai City again.

Entering the original prefect's mansion, looking at the familiar things before, Xu Mochen felt as if three autumns had passed.

Wang Bo'an, the former prefect of Ningzhou, has now been appointed as the governor of the special zone, in charge of the military and government affairs, which is much more beautiful than before.

He respectfully welcomed Xu Mochen in, served good tea, and began to report.

The trade with foreign countries has already begun. Wang Boan has designated several places in the port as designated stops for foreign countries, and has also set up customs at the same time.

"For customs, it is carried out by specialized personnel from the customs department." He looked at Xu Mochen's face, and he didn't know why he created a separate department. "The Governor's Office only has the right to assist, and cannot actually intervene in it."

Xu Mochen smiled, it was Uncle Wang who felt uneasy, thinking that the court did not trust him.

In fact, he didn't know that the personnel of the customs department were composed of humans and immortals.

The trade in foreign countries includes not only human resources, but also some resources of immortal cultivators.

Moreover, it is necessary to imitate the infiltration of the other party's immortal cultivators, cut off the Daqian immortal relationship and steal the national fortune, so the participation of the immortal cultivators is essential.

These are beyond Wang Bo'an's interference.

"I can trust you," Xu Mochen reassured him, "The reason why the customs department is like this is that I am worried that the customs will be subordinate to the Governor's Office, which will not be conducive to independent government affairs.

There will be other states in the future, and they should follow Ningzhou's example, so the first step is the key.

Since Ningzhou is entrusted to you, you have to pay attention to the promotion and implementation of all aspects. "

Wang Bo'an expressed his understanding: "It's the humble minister who has shallow knowledge and humble opinion.

Your Majesty, in addition, in the city, the ministers have set up commercial offices of foreign countries, and put them together for easy management and control.

After the goods are confirmed by the customs department, there is no problem, and only after paying taxes can they enter the main circulation. "

Xu Mochen nodded: "You have to pay attention to one more thing, and that is the matter of our personnel going to foreign countries.

Shipbuilding technology, etc., if you need it, you can also report it directly to the National Research Institute. "

Wang Bo'an was overjoyed: "This is exactly what I want to say, the ships of foreign countries are big and iron ships, and they are advanced compared to the current shipbuilding technology.

Your Majesty, in terms of decapitation, they can come and do it now, but we can't go to their country. "

Xu Mochen waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's just a matter of time, I have asked the research institute to carry out relevant technical research, and when it succeeds, I will build ships in Ningzhou at that time.

So, what I want to explain is that this is the foundation, you can understand. "

Sweat broke out on Wang Bo'an's forehead. Only then did he understand the reason why the emperor summoned him. It turned out that he valued Ningzhou very much. He stood up hastily: "I will definitely do my best."

"You can talk to people from foreign countries in private, I want to buy or exchange their technology," Xu Mochen ordered, "You can set up a separate comprador department, calculate the expenses independently, and report directly to me."

This is a transaction in the name of the country, Wang Bo'an swallowed: "I am not very good at business..."

"That's not the reason," Xu Mochen smiled. These human officials were originally born as scholars and did not value business, but Dagan wants to go further. Commercial trade is a great stimulus, "You are now the governor, in charge of military affairs , you must be familiar with everything.”

Wang Boan took the order.

"Is there a world map?" Xu Mochen took a sip of tea.

"Weichen took a copy from a foreign country," Wang Bo'an was prepared, and he took out a piece of parchment and handed it over, "This is the biggest one so far."

Xu Mochen took it over and looked at it. This world is obviously not a blue star, but the geographical structure is very similar. From the map, the ocean still occupies most of the area.

In addition, there are many large and small continents. To Xu Mochen's surprise, this map did not form a closed loop.

That said, the circumnavigation of the world isn't done yet.

Xu Mochen frowned. It stands to reason that the sailing skills of foreign countries are so advanced that they should complete the circumnavigation.

But this is a world where you can cultivate immortals. Xu Mochen believes that it should have something to do with the water monster clan.

In other words, the world is much bigger than he imagined.

Perhaps the wider sea area belongs to the higher-level water monsters in the monster world, or other immortal cultivators, which the human race can't reach at present.

These thoughts were just for a while, and he didn't say them out.

It was too late to take a closer look at the details, so he stared at Danzhou in the south.

"Your Majesty," Wang Bo'an is not familiar with business, but he is very knowledgeable about government affairs, especially the court is determined to open up, "I learned that Your Majesty's trip is going to Danzhou in the south, so I spent my time looking at it.

The southern Danzhou is located at the southern end of Dagan and is the import and export of the south.

Look at this place, and here is Ningzhou, if the shipping between the two places..."

Xu Mochen was overjoyed: "Aiqing has taken her heart, this is what I want to build, and Danzhou in the south is also a good port point, which takes over foreign countries in the west, and then directly leads to Ningzhou, which is the heartland of Daqian."

Wang Bo'an thought for a while: "Currently, our shipbuilding skills are limited. I wonder if we can buy one or two ships from foreign countries before His Majesty develops new technologies."

"Yes, we can carry out as much as we can," Xu Mochen agreed, "I will assign someone to be responsible for the opening of sea routes."

The sea route involves negotiations with the water monsters, and the human race can't handle it.

Xu Mochen thought it over, and left this matter to the prime minister, and asked the Momeng to intervene to solve it.

Being able to open up the shipping between the two places and facilitate travel, although it doesn't mean much to the cultivators, it can promote the reproduction of the human race.

As a result of this point, the immortal cultivator should not refuse.

Of course, Xu Mochen had to think of a good reason, a reason enough to impress the cultivators.

After the affairs of the Governor's Mansion were settled, Xu Mochen stopped by to inspect the Ningzhou branch of Daqian Pharmaceutical.

The factory director is now Shen Zhining's senior brother, Zhao Yuheng, who was originally an immortal cultivator in the Nether Realm.

He did not break the fairy fate, so it can be said that he is a bit different.

"My lord," Zhao Yuheng followed, "Currently, the manufacture of various medicines is going very smoothly. In addition, Yuhuatai has also produced a lot of injection needles, which have been popularized in Ningzhou. The cure rate of many diseases of the people has been greatly improved. Great improvement."

Xu Mochen nodded. The recent increase in national luck has something to do with this.

"Foreign countries also want people, and they are human races," Zhao Yuheng asked for instructions. "I want to trade some supplies with them. I don't know what your Majesty thinks."
