"Fu Bo, I know you are eager to plan the issues about our development to the East, but these issues need to be taken step by step. Although we have established a base on Jeju Island and have a relationship with your tribe in Minami-wai Zongshi, this is not the most fundamental problem. The most fundamental problem is that everything we prepare is not sufficient!"

“Or it’s not enough?”

This time, not only Zhao Fubo did not understand, but also included the pearl branch Xie Jielai Duer. He also did not understand this problem very much. At this moment, China Island had opened European business and established the dominant position of Arab business. So what else is missing? The huge wealth was being continuously transported from Europe and the Arab Empire to China Island.

Because the commercial operation model adopted by Huaxia Island is industrial products - gold - agricultural industry and mineral resources. Therefore, when returning to the fleet of Huaxia Island, in addition to materials, they are the populations used to exchange industrial products. Naturally, these populations must be teenagers, scholars and other figures, otherwise they may be returned as it is. Under such a model, the population of Huaxia Island has rapidly expanded. Especially those from the Song Dynasty, which gradually occupied the vast majority of the Huaxia Island.

But this still requires a process. Although it seems that the achievements of the military industry have reached a stage of nearly qualitative change, the progress of the civil industry is not fast. After all, after Martin arrived at this time and became a teacher and student with Zhao Fubo, it had been almost 7 years since it reached this time. The development in these 7 years is obvious to all. However, there is still an important problem in what Martin and Zhao Fubo faced, that is, it is still a bit too far away from the Song Dynasty where the Chinese Empire was established.

“Too far?”

When Martin talked about all his questions while eating, Zhao Fubo and the others almost lost their appetite for eating. After almost 7 years of hard work, they were still saying "too far". Of course, for the fleet at this time, the distance was too far for several months and a year.

Martin swallowed the last piece of bread, then picked up the red wine, raised his glass to everyone, and then continued to talk after drinking it.

"So, my opinion is to take two steps, and to complete the adjustment of the situation in the Middle East in 1 to 2 years. For example, the placement of the pope and the solution of the Khanate, are things we have to face. Then during this period, we have to build a larger fleet, and if possible, we have to use steam power to truly conquer the sea. The most important thing is that we must have a foothold in the South Ocean. And there are important places in Fubo, and I think you know where it is!"

In fact, Zhao Fubo and Martin have already discussed these things. Australia and New Zealand have discussed them with Martin and must have before returning to China. At that time, the Arab Empire will mainly provide funds, that is, gold exchanged for commodities, and India, Australia and New Zealand will be the main place for providing materials in the future. Among them, New Zealand will be the production base for agriculture and animal husbandry, which means that it will be the main production base for domestic livestock in the future, while Australia will be the place for minerals, and India will be the place for grain production. The Ganges Delta will always be a place with highly developed agriculture. As for the Song Dynasty, it will be the place for population.

The construction of these places is crucial. For example, the location where food is provided, because of the years of wars and the annual tribute to the Mongols, has already made the people under the Song Dynasty live a hard life. Otherwise, the Chief Secretary of the Southern Foreign Affairs Office would not have moved from the north to a wealthy coastal land. However, this is a fact that the Song Dynasty has a large population. Instead of leaving them there for those dog officials to exploit, it would be better to do some serious things.

"So, it will take 6 to 7 years to return to the Song Dynasty? My God, Allah and the Bodhisattvas in the sky!"

Listening to Zhao Fubo's wailing tone, Martin shook his head and smiled, feeling that Zhao Fubo was like his son who was acting coquettishly.

"Actually, Fu Bo doesn't have to be too pessimistic. You'll stay here for a while. Go back and get some people to dig canals. You know how important this matter is. Secondly, you have to do some people to go to Australia to mine. You know this is also very important. As for New Zealand, I don't think it's too troublesome!"

Yes, mining is a hard and dangerous thing. Zhao Fubo has no intention of letting his own people do it. On China Island, Martin trained some people based on his knowledge of physics and chemistry. Of course, there were also European, Arab Empire and mining talents from the Song Dynasty who gathered together and had developed a set of mining methods that were at least more efficient and safe in this era.

But for Zhao Fubo, that is still a dangerous industry, and it is the enemy of the Chinese Empire. So who is it? Is it necessary to say? Zhao Fubo is not worried about animal husbandry. At this moment, there are enough animal husbandry talents on Huaxia Island, and they also concentrate the best talents in the world.

"But you, hurry up and lead the army to finish the matter here, and then the main force of the army moves eastward. So although it will take 6 to 7 years, you don't have to stay here for too long!"

When Zhao Fubo heard this, he was finally going to move eastward. If you guess, you might be able to leave here after completing the adjustment of the entire Middle East. Then his goal should be near the Song Dynasty, although he would still have to run away from Australia before that. But the teacher said that the people on it couldn't even use bows and arrows, so naturally they were not enough to worry.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Fubo's only feeling was that he lacked people and a large population.

"Okay, two years are only two years. As long as I solve the problem here, I can leave. Let's talk about the rest of the matter then!"

I think if I leave, many people on Huaxia Island will dedicate themselves to the East. Before that, there should be more bases in the East. And there is another important thing that Zhao Fubo plans to ask Pu Jinshu to do it quickly.

"Teacher Martin, I don't know how our intercontinental signal tower is now building!"

Yes, when Zhao Fubo was fighting in Egypt, this idea was already determined. He used 200 kilometers as the node of an intercontinental signal tower and was continuously laid to Singapore. As for the surrounding areas of the Song Dynasty, it was naturally something that would be discussed after Zhao Fubo captured New Zealand and Australia!
