Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but nod.
These people truly deserve to be called geniuses; even when facing Great Ning, they are all full of fighting spirit.
He looked at Mi Zhu and Chen Qun and smiled, "You're probably going to be very busy right now. Once you see the real profits, those merchant families will go crazy!"
These days, who would refuse money? That would be foolish.
"Rest assured, my lord, I anticipated this problem and have already recruited quite a few skilled accountants. The registration will be completed soon," Mi Zhu nodded and smiled.
He was prepared. It's fine if a businessman doesn't see the profit, but once he does, no one can stop him.
He had only been back a short while when his room was blocked by a large group of people, all of whom had come to keep watch. There would probably be even more tomorrow.
Lin Yi nodded slightly; this was something he had anticipated.
He waved his hand and laughed, "These matters are all yours. As for Gongsun Zan, you just need to train the troops step by step. You don't need to worry about anything else."
"That's all for today. Gan Ning and Xun Yu, stay behind!"
"My lord, what important matter do you have that requires us to stay behind?"
When Gan Ning saw that his lord had left only him and Xun Yu behind, his eyes lit up. His lord must have a very important task for him.
He was secretly pleased with himself; his navy was the most important force.
Lin Yi glanced at the two of them, picked up a plan from beside him, handed it to Gan Ning, and said in a deep voice, "Take a look at this, and you'll understand why I kept you here!"
Ocean Plan!
Upon seeing these four words, Gan Ning's heart skipped a beat. His lord was indeed eyeing the ocean; he was about to do something big.
After reading it, he was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "My God, is our lord trying to create another Western Xiliang overseas? This is too crazy!"
To create another Xiliang in the vast ocean is simply a wildly imaginative idea, and quite a challenge.
"Yes, my lord is going to give Great Ning a surprise attack!"
Xun Yu couldn't help but gasp, stunned by his lord's way of thinking.
They're all trying to expand their territory, but it's quite unexpected that our lord intends to carve out another land in the distant sea.
He murmured to himself, "If that really happens, Great Ning will be in a very passive position. It could be attacked from all sides by our lord at any moment, making it impossible for them to make any progress!"
Just imagine that scene, Li Anlan's expression must be terrible, she'd probably cry.
Seeing the exchange between the two, Lin Yi smiled and said, "These oceans are currently unclaimed, so we should naturally seize this opportunity to claim sovereignty and declare our ownership. Why not take advantage of freebies? Besides, with these territories, we'll become even stronger!"
These unclaimed territories may not be of much use to others, but to oneself they are not just resources, but more importantly, a conquest of territory, which fully meets the conditions for activating the Winning People Over with Virtue System.
In this way, these territories will be of great use!
The Ocean Plan is simple: in addition to large-scale island occupation, it also requires the construction of island bases to create a brand-new strategic location.
This would not only silently Great West's power, but also plant several potential threats behind Li Anlan's back, all of which could be fatal.
"What a brilliant ' Ocean Plan '!"
Xun Yu and Gan Ning's eyes lit up. Their lord possessed miraculous powers. If they could benefit from these territories, it would be a great opportunity that they absolutely could not miss.
As our lord said, this is territory gained for free. It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a benefit.
"Don't worry, my lord, I'll make the arrangements when I get back. We'll send some people to occupy those islands under the pretext of fishing, and other supplies can be sent over in batches!" Gan Ning said excitedly, laughing loudly.
No wonder our lord wanted to occupy an island for himself earlier; it was all for this " Ocean Plan." This is truly brilliant, making him almost want to turn around and launch an attack on the ocean immediately.
If things are done this way, his position as the general of the Xiliang navy will be of great use, and he might even be able to seize the position of Marquis Champion!
We can just take over this unclaimed territory; who among Ma Chao's men can possibly take it from us?
Xun Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Since we'll be leaving empty-handed anyway, why not bring some supplies? That way, nothing will be wasted, and it'll also keep things under wraps. I doubt Li Anlan ever dreamed our lord would have such a clever plan!"
Fishing is just fishing, who would have thought that our lord had such a skill, able to create something out of thin air on the sea?
"Haha, you guys go and make the arrangements. I'll give Gan Ning some more manpower. You're the executor of the ' Ocean Plan,' so you can't let us down at this crucial moment," Lin Yi said, looking at the excited Gan Ning.
Gan Ning chuckled and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, my lord. Even if it costs me my life, I, Gan Xingba, won't hesitate to help you. Just watch, I promise I won't let you down!"
kindness!
Lin Yi nodded. He still believed in Gan Ning's strength. Gan Ning was the number one warrior of Eastern Wu, and few could rival him on the high seas.
He then looked at Xun Yu and smiled, " Xun Yu, you are in charge of allocating some personnel to Gan Ning to build an island base. This matter is of great importance, and we cannot let too many people know about it for the time being!"
The plan was to be secretive and discreet, to complete these arrangements before Great Ning could react, otherwise Li Anlan would definitely cause trouble.
This guy isn't stupid; he certainly won't just sit around looking like he'll get a lump on his butt.
"Rest assured, my lord, we understand!" The two men handed the plan to Lin Yi, their faces solemn.
"Yes, I trust you. Go and make the arrangements!"
Watching the two leave, Lin Yi casually placed the plan on a candlestick and lit it.
This thing isn't suitable to be seen yet; if word gets out, it'll cause a huge problem.
The next second, he opened his system and saw a deluge of information. A smile immediately appeared on his face; he hadn't guessed wrong after all.
