526: Two counties by the sea
Liu Yichen shook his head: "Old man, if you stay at home like me, and no one goes to the front line, even if there is a powerful big killer, it will be in vain, and someone still has to throw blood in front and kill the enemy hard, otherwise it will be empty talk." So as long as you contribute to this Great Patriotic War, you are a hero, and as long as you sacrifice your life, you are a martyr!"
Liu Yichen's words about the Li family and the Qin family are very comfortable, and the people at the table secretly feel that he can speak in their hearts, and at the same time, they also feel that he is not arrogant, even if he has made earth-shattering achievements, he is still calm and indifferent, and his lofty mood is exciting.
"Yichen, don't be modest, your merits are known to the world. Emperor Xi smiled: "I can still sit here, and everyone can still come back here, in fact, it all depends on your ability." In this Great Patriotic War, haha. ”
The Western Emperor suddenly couldn't help laughing, and everyone laughed too.
What kind of Great Patriotic War is this, it is simply a war of aggression.
"Yichen, you have to say that this is the Great Patriotic War, I know you want to make it right, but I can't help but want to laugh when I talk about it, haha. ”
The Western Emperor smiled with a bit of smugness, and everyone had vested interests, so they all laughed very happily.
After laughing, the Great Emperor of the West said: "There are a total of thirteen counties on the South Road, Yichen, I will give you two counties, this is the territory of the South Road, you can choose two now." ”
Emperor Xi opened a map and said with a smile: "I won't give you too much time to think about it, because your territory is too big, if you think about it seriously, you will pick the best away, and it will be unfair to others." While you don't know anything right now, just pick and choose, whether it's good or bad depends on your own luck. ”
Liu Yichen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to ask for it anymore, I am very content with the sealed soil you gave me before." ”
The Great Emperor of the West straightened his face: "Am I discussing with you? I am a holy decree, hurry up and obey the decree." ”
Liu Yichen saw that it was not impossible, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since this is the case, I want these two counties." ”
Emperor Xi was surprised: "What are you doing here, keeping all the rags for yourself and leaving all the good places for others? I don't think you don't know where the richest place in the Southern Empire is, right?"
Liu Yichen smiled: "I know, but the two best counties are still left to the empire, and it seems a little unfair to take the rest." As for my choice of these two coastal counties, I am actually selfish because I like the sea and I plan to develop a maritime career in the future. ”
Emperor Xi held up the map and showed it to everyone, and pointed to the two most coastal counties: "See, the royal prince Gao Feng Liang Festival, and he wants the two most barren counties for himself." The rest is yours. No matter whose fief it is, don't forget it, you still have to pay taxes!"
Emperor Xi looked at Liu Yichen: "You regret it now, your two counties are the largest, but the least property, and the annual national tax will make you sad to death." ”
Liu Yichen laughed: "I'm afraid that in the future, I will build these two places extremely prosperous and operate extremely richly, and everyone will think that I deliberately didn't tell you, there are actually a lot of good things in the sea." ”
Everyone laughed, then shook their heads.
Emperor Xi said: "The treasures in the sea are all left to you, but if you get something rare, don't forget to give it to me and give everyone a little taste." That's enough, even if you run those two places more prosperous than Xijing, we won't be greedy. I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with those two counties. ”
Liu Yichen said with a smile: "The first thing I want to do is to lay the road from those two counties to the southern capital and the major prosperous cities, and then I will build that road all the way to Xijing and Tokyo, as well as Zhongjing and Beidu, when the time comes, it will be extremely convenient to go from those two counties, and at the same time, it is very convenient to reach those two counties from there, and it is even more convenient to go to sea." ”
"My automobile industry will become the number one industry in the entire empire!" Liu Yichen said with a smile: "Now that I have said it, everyone will not regret giving me those two counties, right?"
Everyone shook their heads, and they still had the attitude of seeing, and then talking.
"It seems that no one really believes it, so let's wait and see. Liu Yichen pinched his fingers and calculated: "Today next year, I can sell at least 10 million cars, one the year after next, and today three years later, it will be five." ”
Liu Yichen said with a smile: "In five years, the sales volume will reach more than 100." The total population of our Great Wilderness is trillions, and you can imagine how big my market is. Of course, I'm not a barbarian yet, otherwise this number can be multiplied several times, and the market for barbarians is even bigger!"
"Haha, Yichen, you want to sell the car to the barbarians?" Emperor Xi smiled and shook his head: "This is too whimsical, I don't believe it, do you believe it?"
Everyone shook their heads, although Liu Yichen has been creating a miracle, but everyone really doesn't believe that those barbarians who don't even have a road can drive a car.
"The market is opened up, although the barbarians have no roads now, but in the future they will not only have roads, but also prosperous cities, maybe the development will be faster than ours. ”
Liu Yichen suddenly smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, if I do business with the barbarians, this is not a collaborator, right?"
The Western Emperor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course not, although the barbarians and us have disputes from time to time, they can't actually be regarded as enemies." What's more, it's always them who are unlucky!"
"Everyone has heard what you said today, and you don't regret it. Liu Yichen immediately said: "Actually, I want the two coastal counties, in fact, I want to do business with the barbarians. The reason why they robbed us and why we plundered them and we could not live in peace is that the root cause is the unequal development of civilization. When their civilization also develops, we can live in peace. ”
"Okay, don't fool us, those two places will be given to you, and what you can do with those two places depends on your ability. ”
The Great Emperor handed the map to Old Man Qin: "Old man, your uncle has finished picking, and the next thing is for you to pick." I'll give you a county, don't be too little. ”
Old Man Qin shook his head: "Your Majesty, the Qin family's fief is already a lot, not to mention that my uncle has already sealed two counties, our Qin family can live well by relying on my uncle's fief, not to mention that we also have a fief." ”
Emperor Xi shook his head: "Two different things, two different things, merit must be rewarded, and punishment must be punished, otherwise who is willing to work for the empire?" Old man, forget it, I will give you this county, it just so happens that the two counties next to Yichen here are still a very rich place. This is it. ”
Emperor Xi immediately handed the territory to Old Man Li: "Old man, you are also a county. ”
Old Man Li smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't have to choose, our Li family likes to eat fruits, and we will be next to the county of Old Man Li and His Royal Highness the Prince, where we can still stain a lot." ”
Emperor Xi laughed: "It seems that you still have confidence in Dean Liu." Next, the Pope Prime Minister and the National Teacher have a county, who will choose the three of you?"
The prime minister shook his head: "Your Majesty, I have no merit this time, and I don't want to be criticized, so thank you for your Long En and spare me." ”
Emperor Xi shook his head: "The prime minister's credit lies in controlling the government very well, so that the imperial army has no worries. And the national teacher and the pope have done a good job in logistics, so the three of them also have great credit. You have to choose, but I hope the three Aiqing don't fight, haha. ”
The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and the prime minister said, "Then we will choose the last of the two counties next to His Royal Highness." His Royal Highness the Prince is talented, and he can be wiped out next to him. ”
"Haha, okay, it seems that Dean Liu's popularity is still unmatched. Emperor Xi looked at his three sons: "Second, third, fourth, you have played the best on the battlefield, so I let the three of you sit here, because you also have qualifications." Now I give you a choice, if you don't want the throne, choose a county to open the palace and go out freely. If you intend to take charge of the country after your father in the future, then I won't give you a fiefdom. ”
"Father, I want to seal the land. The fourth prince smiled: "I'm not that material, it's better to be a free king." ”
The third prince hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but the second prince smiled and said: "Father, give me a county, I think this throne is the most suitable for the third brother, he is eloquent, brave and resourceful, and benevolent, and he is the best heir." I just want a county that is very close to Dean Liu, and I'll go to him to have a long experience if it's okay. Father, this is the kind of life I want!"
The Western Emperor looked at the second prince: "Second brother, you don't regret it, according to the rules, you will be the first heir in the future." ”
The second prince shook his head: "No regrets." Father, I know how many pounds and taels I have, and if I don't have that ability, I won't take that porcelain job. ”
The third prince smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you are not confident, and I am even more bottomless, it's just that I really made up my mind when you said this." I'd better hurry up and seal the land, while I'm still young, and do everything I want to do, so as not to regret it when I'm old! Father, this second brother on the throne is the most suitable to inherit, not only because of the righteousness, but also because he has this mind and bearing, and also has this wisdom and means. ”
The second prince shook his head firmly: "I did think about inheriting my father's throne before, but this expedition made me understand a lot of things that I couldn't understand before. I also wanted to do something that I wanted to do before, but I really didn't do. The throne is not for me, I just want to go out and live the life I want. I am already very satisfied to be able to take care of all the people under my rule, no matter how big and too many, it is too tiring. ”
The three princes all had firm eyes, and they really thought about not wanting the throne.
Emperor Xi suddenly laughed: "Okay, since you are not rare, then I will look for an heir from those little fart children, don't be unconvinced in the future, this is all your own abandonment." ”
The three princes all shook their heads vigorously, and their attitudes were extremely resolute.
Emperor Xi smiled: "I really can't imagine that there will be such a day, not only is there no one fighting, it seems that no one wants it yet." Okay, you can choose for yourself, and the rest is to reward the fiefs of meritorious officials and magnates. In terms of the South Road, the empire only needs to leave one county, and whether the South Road will be prosperous in the future depends on you!"
Everyone got up together to give thanks, and then the three princes picked a place, and then began to eat.
During the meal, Liu Yichen asked, "Your Majesty, when are we going to leave for the fiefdom?"
