Bai said: "Oh, Hui'er, you are a girl's family, why do you want such a big industry?" There are so many terra nullius overseas, do you have to make them all your sphere of influence? You have honestly made this Qingchun City, and in two years, when you turn fifteen, you will honestly go back to the capital to prepare for marriage, do you want to live in this wild place? ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "My Hui'er is really a Nanyang manager, and one city is not enough to make three cities." The emperor is really prescient, one city is called the city lord, and the three cities are not the governor of Nanyang? ”

Liu Jingcheng asked, "Oh, there are still Spice Islands in this world?" But there is a mark on the map, and Sister Wen Hui will show it to me when she is idle tomorrow. It's just that I don't know if the natives on that island have established a country, isn't it? Are you going to be a girl, is it safe? By the way, you must be going with Wenlin. However, that's not very reassuring. ”

Mingzhu said: "Now the spices in the Great Chu Nanyang are in short supply, if there is such a treasure trove of spices, will you not make a fortune?" However, Wen Hui, you already have a lot of money, you don't need to make so much, it's enough. You're going to put a lot of pressure on your husband in the future. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "But if you need my help, can you and your second brother do it?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "There are also black families, four cities on Luzon Island, but three cities are dispatched." Originally, I wanted to bring those cousins from Tongren City, but unfortunately, they are too stupid, a Tongren City has been built for several years, and it has not been built, which is really anxious. Self-energy doesn't wait for them. Let them continue to play in Tongren City. “

Chen Wenjun said: "Even if you add the black family, I am afraid that your manpower, troops, materials, and money will not be enough, and you will need to tell your sister-in-law how much, and we will definitely support you." ”

Wan Meizhen nodded hurriedly.

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, I don't need your support, your mess of the Japanese country hasn't been done yet, and it's thank God that I don't want you to support you." Rest assured. I've planned it all. Just wait for the New Year, step by step. ”

Bai glanced at Chen Yuanheng helplessly, and Chen Yuanheng said: "The child has ambition, and we don't need to spend money." A qiē she came by herself. And also with Lin'er. How can we not support it? Besides, the emperor agreed, and gave our new city a name. ”

Mingzhu asked: "Actually, isn't this overseas city not paying taxes to the emperor?" Why is the emperor so supportive? ”

Liu Jingyuan smiled and said, "You don't understand this. Although these overseas cities did not pay taxes to the imperial court, they were of great help to the imperial court. For example, Yizhou Island and the four cities of Nanyang have solved the problem of feeding many poor people. These people, who were originally on the verge of life and death in Dachu because they had no land, not only had enough food and clothing in the four cities, but also brought out the relatives of Dachu. The followers of these people are all in Dachu, so after they are developed, they often help the poor relatives of Dachu, which solves a lot of trouble for the imperial court. Also, isn't the imperial court bringing the victims here now? In previous years, when the imperial court encountered a famine, in order to provide disaster relief, it often spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and there were countless amounts of money and food, so that after a few tosses, the treasury was empty. But what about the effect? It only makes the corrupt officials more rampant and the people poorer. ”

Mingzhu remembered the previous disaster relief and couldn't help but nodded.

Liu Jingyuan said: "However, you see that now, just throw the victims of the disaster to the four cities, give relief to the victims, transport the victims to Luzon Island, find work for the disaster victims, and settle them are all the affairs of the four cities, and the imperial court has not spent a penny." Of course, some officials are not happy anymore, because without disaster relief, they cannot be corrupt. However, how much did the court save? and welfare to the people. In previous years, even if the imperial court provided disaster relief, there were still a large number of people who died, but this year, I think, these people should still make money when they arrive in Luzon, right? ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled: "We are all desperately trying to win over these victims, and now there are fifty or sixty thousand victims who have expressed their willingness to come to Qingchun City to work after building roads, or follow me to the new city to open up wasteland. ”

Liu Jingyuan said: "Look at it, in this way, how can the imperial court not want to develop overseas better and better? In addition to this aspect, overseas products are abundant, and we are in Dachu short of food all year round, especially for the mercenaries in the northwest in recent years. The establishment of several overseas cities has solved the grain problem in Dachu at once. Not only has the food problem of Dachu been solved, but the military food can be guaranteed, and even the four ethnic lands have benefited a lot. ”

This pearl can be regarded as understanding, passing by Shanghai City, I saw a boatload of grain transported to Dachu, and the scene was very gratifying.

Liu Jingyuan continued: "In addition to grain, there are also various minerals, such as the silver mines of the Wa Kingdom, such as the gold mines and iron mines of the Nanyang Kingdom. Thinking about it in the future, if there is really an enemy coming from the sea as Wen Hui said, we will not have to be the first to be harassed by the war, and the Wa Kingdom, Yizhou Island, and Luzon Island will form a chain that can keep the enemy out of the country. What a good thing this is, what emperor doesn't like it? ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "No wonder the emperor is so supportive." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The most important thing is that this can be regarded as opening up the territory, the imperial court does not need to spend a grain of grain, a soldier and horse can get so much overseas land, and the emperor will be worthy of his ancestors in the future, and he will be written heavily in the history books." Can he support such a good thing of fame and fortune? ”

Everyone laughed.

Chen Wenlin said: "So, we have to continue to expand. Wen Hui and I are ready for our troops, and we may have to fight a few vicious battles, but this kind of thing, you can rest assured, and leave it to me. When the natives are almost wiped out, Wen Hui will build the city. ”

Bai Shi frowned and said: "I have always felt that Wen Hui's killing of a girl's family is too heavy, but now she doesn't kill her, but you kill her, isn't this okay after all?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and it is not our people who are killed, but the aborigines." It doesn't hurt to die no matter how much you die. If these people are soft on them now, it will not be good when they bite us back in the future. ”

In her previous life, every time Chen Wenhui saw those small countries in Southeast Asia bullying our big countries, but we were powerless to fight back, we were angry and itching.

Chen Wenjun said: "We are not all killing. Everyone has value. This is what my sister said. After those natives were caught, they were used as slaves, whether it was clearing the land or mining, they were all good hands. In order to fear that these natives would revolt, I discussed with my sister, and I transported the people of the Japanese country to them as slaves, and after they captured the natives, they transported them to the Japanese country as slaves. Leaving their homes in this way, these people have no chance of turning over. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "You are right. Many people have been influenced by Confucianism, to be benevolent, to convince people with virtue, and to let those people who are outside also accept the glory of the Central Plains Deli. It's a pity that none of these people have ever been to Biansai. I have never seen the scene of the barbarians slaughtering our people, I have not seen the faces of the Hu people in the northwest robbing, I have not seen the barbaric scenes of the Fan people, and I have not seen the Yi people rebelling, looting and burning. Or Hui'er is right, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. It's still better to be on guard. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I don't blindly kill the natives and barbarians, the Japanese people, the Silla people, and the Goguryeo people, and I also educate them. It's just that this kind of indoctrination is not a spring breeze and rain indoctrination, but a forced indoctrination. I demand that these people must learn the language of the Great Chu and learn the written language of the Great Chu, or they will continue to be slaves, and they will not be allowed to carry out their customs, and they must follow the etiquette of the Great Chu. Also, encourage intermarriage, I believe that after a few generations, these alien races will be able to integrate into our people in Dachu. At least, after so many years, most of the children of the barbarian prisoners of war who were given to me by the emperor back then could not speak the language of the barbarians, and their living habits were no different from those of our Dachu children. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Your idea is good. and less slaughter. It is worth promoting in various overseas cities. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In fact, ethnic integration still has benefits, that is, it can give birth to excellent mixed-race children. ”

Everyone was a little strange and asked, "What is a half-breed?" ”

Chen Wenhui frowned, thought for a while and said, "Anyway, if people of two different nationalities intermarry, the child will be smarter and more beautiful." In fact, not only between two different nationalities, but also between two places that are far apart, people will also give birth to excellent children when they get married, and the farther away the blood relationship, the better. On the contrary, if you marry close relatives, it is easy to give birth to a deformed child or a fool. ”

Chen Yuanheng and Bai looked at each other. In the middle of the sound, Chen Yuanheng said: "Is this said by Emperor Guanglie?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "It should be." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Actually, in the previous dynasty, the royal family chose the queen, and one condition was that it could not be close to the emperor's blood relationship. This is said to be the ancestral precept left by Emperor Guanglie. Now we are also adhering to this tradition. So, we don't have two queens with the same surname in a connection. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother must not come out of the same family. Now this ancestral precept has also become the dilemma we are facing now. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "The eldest aunt is from our Chen family, and the crown princess is the eldest aunt's niece. This blood relationship is indeed too close. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Therefore, since the queen was canonized, the crown princess was also canonized, and the courtiers had great opinions and had been arguing endlessly. Many people support Bai Liangdi to become the queen in the future. Especially after Bai Liangdi gave birth to a son, their power became even greater. Hey, the new heir is about to begin.
