1017. Next task

Next, Jing Wen explained some of the matters of the Annan Protectorate's next step, and Wang Xuance was also surprised. Because it was the first time he heard about the proposal of such a colony, he actually plundered the resources of those colonies to feed back to his country. In this way, the country would be very rich and would not have to invest in those colonies, which would save a lot of infrastructure construction costs. Because there was no need to invest too much, it would plunder a lot of wealth. Who wouldn't like doing this?

! And this is a way to develop wealth from afar as soon as possible. If you treat your own territory equally, infrastructure construction alone will probably require a lot of wealth, and without ten or twenty years of continuous investment, it will not be effective. However, the relatively small investment in wealth can be obtained now, and doing so is simply unethical. As for those local natives in the future, who cares about their lives and death, as long as they become rich, it is good.

The officials of this colony are almost all over the place. However, the highest position of the majority of the Protectors is the royal family, and the subordinate officials decide on it themselves and solve it according to the voting model of everyone, so that the power can be decentralized as much as possible. But this is enough to make people feel very attractive. After all, with such a great power, you can also form an army by yourself, fight outsiders, exploit those exploited colonial countries, and then get a lot of dividends. That fool will not do it!

As for Wang Xuance, of course he was also tempted. Because as long as he could become a part of this colony, the manpower, material resources and various resources could be mobilized were much more than when he was the chief minister of the Guangzhou Governor's Office. In this way, if the rights of the entire Annan Protectorate could be called, it would completely allow the sea and land trade to reach a rapid exploration period. After all, with great power, the resources he mastered will become more and more, so it will naturally be smoother.

"Wang Xuance, you have to know. Whether the Annan Protectorate can be established this time depends entirely on your ability!" Jing Wen said.

"Sir, why is this?" Wang Xuance asked.

Jing Wen explained: "Because this Annan Protectorate will have to govern those banished states in the future, and these banished states will be composed of Linyi. You must convince them to take the initiative to join in and become the banished states of our Tang Dynasty. And this Linyi Kingdom, which is the initial territory of the Annan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, will depend on your own ability. The places you expand next are almost all under the jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate. Even in the South Ocean, which is what I mentioned to you, the Malacca Strait will be under the jurisdiction of the Annan Protectorate."

I heard that I would have the possibility of governing such a large area in the future, almost half of the current Tang Dynasty, and even larger ones were possible. However, these lands belong to those barbaric lands, not many civilized populations, and most of them were banished states. But this is enough to attract people, and the power here is quite large. Even if it is not for power, it is just to be able to get the so-called plundering dividends in Annan Protectorate. These are also very attractive. As an official, although his salary is still relatively good, it is far from the level of being able to make a fortune. So when I hear that I can get dividends, they of course have to make money! This is a reasonable and legal opportunity to make money. Who is not tempted! In ancient times, some officials would rather be demoted than to take a job with a fat man. Isn’t it just for money?

Most of the fat and shortages are illegal income. How can these colonial officials compare? These colonial officials have obtained plunder and dividends reasonably and legally. Then they go there and they may become rich. They can get money that they will never get in their lifetime. Who will not be moved!

"Sir, I will do my best to convince this Linyi country to be affiliated with me in the Tang Dynasty!" Wang Xuance said.

Jing Wen still believed in Wang Xuance's eloquence, and the inner ties were not serious, but just changed his skin. He just turned his country into state prefectures, and then he could get the protection of the Tang Dynasty. This seems to be a very profitable deal, and many countries do this. After all, who doesn't want a big country to protect him? So they are willing to pay some tributes and then exchange them for the tiger skin of the Tang Dynasty to tease him. The Central Plains dynasty has always been the coordinator of the surrounding East Asian countries. If there are any conflicts in the surrounding territorial countries, the Central Plains dynasty will make the ruling. If you can obtain some protection by tribute, or even become a vassal state, it will be quite profitable.

After becoming an affiliated vassal state, you can get higher treatment. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will have some investment to help them improve their lives. But they have no idea that the Annan Protectorate this time is completely different from the past. This time, the Annan Protectorate this time focuses on plundering resources, not taking care of these vassal states. These vassal states are destined to be exploited by Wang Xuance, a guy who is good at dancing.

Jing Wen recommended Wang Xuance as the chief minister of the Annan Protectorate, which actually has another more important reason. Wang Xuance has a good judgment on the bottom line. He can judge the enemy's bottom line well and avoid too many loopholes. As long as the bottom line of those vassal states is not touched, it means that the maximum benefit can be obtained above this bottom line. Therefore, Wang Xuance is the best point, and he can completely grasp the bottom line of exploitation well, so there is no need to be afraid of the rebound of people from the vassal colonies of these people.

"Okay, I'll take you to see the emperor tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, you can be competent for the position of chief of the Annan Protectorate, and tomorrow it should be just a formality." Jing Wen said.

Wang Xuance was also full of confidence because he thought he could be competent for this position. After all, there were not many diplomats in ancient times, and since Wang Xuance could be from Pei Ju, it was considered good. Pei Ju was a pity that he was born at the wrong time. If it were the period, he might have really become a great man. However, the first half of his life was in chaos, and in the middle he was only a period of time when he could truly show his abilities, but it was very brilliant. However, in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, his achievements were ruined again. Now perhaps his disciple will take over his mission and complete these great achievements.
