Chapter 516: Too much appetite
"What if you were given a fief? If you want it, the emperor can be extra gracious and give you Sichuan. "Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Rusong said with a smile, it is easier to accept the fief of the duke than to seal the king with a different surname.
Anyway, there was only one old duke in the dynasty, and if the old duke was not satisfied, it would be a big deal to give him a fief. It's just that it will definitely be more difficult to be crowned a duke in the future, and this is all within the emperor's acceptance.
Li Rusong believes that Sichuan Province should be able to meet Jiyang's requirements.
"Give me Sichuan, you can't help but underestimate my appetite." Ji Yang said.
"It is impossible to seal a king with a different surname, and the fief can be discussed slowly." Li Rusong looked at Ji Yang steadily.
"You know, I used to have a friend who liked to say this impossible, that impossible. Every time I hear these three words, I feel the urge to beat him violently, there is no absolute thing in the world. Ji Yang said.
Well, Li Rusong didn't know how to answer, he was really afraid that Ji Yang would suddenly make a move.
Ji Yang could block his battle formation of twenty-six people with one hand, and Li Rusong couldn't beat it no matter what.
"There are more than a dozen countries in Nanyang that have surrendered under my cannons, and I only need to wave my arms, not to say that I am the king, but also the emperor. But I didn't do it, do you know why? Ji Yang said.
"Why?" Li Rusong was quite curious.
"Since I founded the Star Sect and subdued the Tianxia Society, I first pacified Korea and then Dongying, and then pacified the Nanyang countries all the way. Half a year ago, I sent troops to attack the Uliangha people and took the Jizhou generation. During the drought in Shanxi and Henan, I spent countless money, grain, and oil to help with disaster relief, and at the same time transferred more than 700,000 victims to Jizhou, saving countless people. ”
"General Li, let me ask you, are I qualified to be crowned king in the Central Plains with these achievements." Ji Yang said.
"Well, Master Ji is indeed a great meritorious, but you are not a member of the court, so it can't be counted as a credit. Ignoring the forbidden sea, you are making great efforts to trade in the South Seas, collecting taxes privately, and setting up salt and iron workshops privately in disregard of the law, everything is a big crime of raiding your family. Li Rusong said.
"Everyone is a smart person, and since ancient times, there have been examples of rebellion first and then recruitment, and these crimes are nothing. What's more, I have never harmed the interests of the people of the Central Plains, and not only that, but I have also developed industry and commerce, spread grain, and saved many people. If you insist on telling the evidence of the crime, then let's see the truth on the battlefield. Ji Yang said politely.
"Rebel first and then recruit peace, why bother to say it so bluntly." Li Rusong secretly smiled bitterly, isn't this laughing at the incompetence of the imperial court, if the emperor hears it, he will definitely be furious.
"It's better to do this, I'll show you the fleet of the Nakshatra faction first, and then you can make a decision." Ji Yang said.
"Oh, I do want to see it." Li Rusong suddenly became interested.
"Let's go, come with me." Ji Yang walked up to Li Rusong, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and teleported to Bu Jingyun. Li Rusong only felt that there was a flash around him, and he appeared in a cold place, which was Jizhou, where Bu Jingyun was located.
Like Ji Yang, such an extraordinary master of sainthood, he showed some special abilities, Li Rusong didn't think it was strange, but secretly admired Ji Yang's methods, and envied Ji Yang's speed.
"The disciple has seen the master." Bu Jingyun was reviewing the documents under his rule in the Commander's Mansion, and when he saw Ji Yang appear, he stepped forward to salute.
"No need to be polite, this is General Li Rusong of the imperial court, and he is my eldest disciple." Ji Yang introduced.
"The disciple of Master Ji is really unusual, he is young, and his skills are already so strong." Li Rusong said in admiration, Bu Jingyun had already stabilized the Ninefold Realm, and his skill was several times deeper than the ordinary Ninefold Realm.
He cultivated the Nine Yang True Scripture and the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent, and he had a majestic and masculine momentum.
"Jingyun, General Li wants to see the Star Fleet, you lead the way in front." Ji Yang said.
"The disciple obeys." Bu Jingyun immediately led the two to the port of Jizhou.
Walking out of the Commander's Mansion, it was cold and snowy outside, covered in silver, and there were rows of standard rooms. However, Ji Yang and the three of them are strong in martial arts, so they are naturally not afraid of this cold, but feel that the scenery of the northern country is very spectacular and beautiful.
After Li Rusong admired the snow scene, he looked at the neat and tidy houses that could not be seen and asked: "These houses don't seem to be cast by civil engineering, they are so neat and uniform, with edges and corners." ”
Ji Yang smiled and said, "This is a house made of lime and stone bricks produced by my Xingzhu Workshop, which is very strong and durable, and the construction method is fast and convenient. More than 700,000 people live here, and I will continue to conquer the north and expand my territory in the future. ”
"It's remarkable, in less than half a year, more than 700,000 victims have been resettled, and so much winter wheat has been planted." Li Rusong's eyes were sharp, and he could see more than ten miles away, where there was a large field of winter wheat.
Winter wheat can be grown in the snow and harvested in two months.
Under Dong Wu's organization, the victims opened up millions of acres of land, and the first harvest of winter wheat was enough to feed them. And the reclamation is still in progress, Jiyang plans to build this place into a granary, and Jizhou alone will reclaim 300 million acres of land.
On the way to the port of Jizhou, I met some fishermen who were skewering many fatty fish with wooden barrels or ropes, and their faces were full of smiles from the harvest. Seeing Bu Jingyun coming over, they were first startled, and then saluted Bu Jingyun one after another.
Because Bu Jingyun was very cold, the people who were resettled were grateful to him and afraid of him. As for Ji Yang, he had never made the road public in Jizhou, so the local people only knew that Ji Yang, the head of the Xingzhu faction, had rescued them, but they didn't know what Ji Yang looked like.
Li Rusong originally thought that Ji Yang vigorously rescued the victims in order to gain the hearts of the people and intended to rebel. However, the people in the past only followed the steps and saluted, but they didn't know Ji Yang, Li Rusong was very surprised.
"Master Ji, why don't these people know you?" Li Rusong asked.
"I've only been here once or twice, and I haven't made my identity public, so naturally they don't know me." Ji Yang said.
"What are you trying to do to help these victims, but you don't disclose your identity?" Li Rusong asked.
"Didn't you see it all, there are fewer aborigines in Jizhou, adding up to more than 200,000. If there are no immigrants, how can I develop the land resources of Jizhou, then what is the use of me laying down Jizhou. Ji Yang said.
"Is it just for the sake of exploiting land resources?" Li Rusong was stunned, he began to understand Ji Yang.
"Don't underestimate this icy land, where the soil is fertile and rich in resources. I plan to build this place into the granary of the Central Plains, as long as the plan is successful, in the future, the grain of Jizhou and Hazhou alone can feed forty percent of the people of the Central Plains. At that time, any drought or flood, as long as I mobilize a fleet to transport grain from here to the Central Plains, it will be nothing at all. Ji Yang said.
"Is it possible to make Jizhou and Hazhou the granary of the Central Plains, and what is this for?" Li Rusong was even more puzzled.
"Isn't it good?" Ji Yang asked rhetorically.
In fact, his ultimate goal is to enhance the strength of the entire Central Plains, and only when the grain output goes up, can the population of the Central Plains go up. In the future, Jiyang will conquer some undeveloped areas, and a large number of people will be needed to open up wasteland.
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, millions and tens of millions are not enough, Ji Yang needs hundreds of millions of talents.
No way, who called this place more than three times bigger than the earth.
