Chapter 514: The Way to Seal the Country

In the Fengtian Temple, there is a huge map hanging at this time, almost more than two zhang long, more than one zhang high, and the map is painted with a very fine pattern, and a piece of red land is drawn in the center, and a big 'Chu' is also marked on it.

The ministers almost all gathered around, staring at the map in front of them, their eyes revealing a bit of curiosity, and other than that, whispering from time to time.

"The globe of His Majesty last time was already shocking, and now that I look at it like this, it is even more shocking!"

"No, the old man thinks that our Dachu is huge enough, but I didn't expect that there is such a huge land in the world, just that..... The so-called Americas is much bigger than ours! ”

"Ahem, my lord has heard from those missionaries, the land of America is now extremely desolate, how can it compare to the prosperity of the Celestial Empire?"

"But we also have a lot of land around, and the Myanmar we fought not long ago seems to be much larger than the area of our lake!"

.........

Ning Yu looked at everyone whispering below, but with a smile on his face, he was like a shrewd seller, looking at these potential buyers, and wanted to teach them a good lesson.

"Your Majesty, is it true that the country is closed?" Shoufu Ning Zhongjing was the first to speak, he didn't think about himself, in fact, if it weren't for the delay of the Liangjing system, he would have retired this year, but now the government and the opposition are panicking because of this matter, and they can't help but ask a few more words.

Ning Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, the matter of sealing the country has been decided, and the follow-up is just to improve the charter system." ”

When the emperor confirmed, almost everyone's faces turned extremely red, they gasped heavily, looked at the map in front of them, and their eyes were already full of naked greed.

From Southeast Asia to Australia, from the bitter cold land in the north to the vast land of the Americas, it seems that it has become everyone's meal, what a huge piece of land!

"The country has been defeated, and the promises I gave you are almost fulfilled, but you don't want to disarm and return to the field now, and I don't want to enjoy peace here, so let's play a game of chess together!"

Ning Yu laughed loudly, he took out the long sword hanging from his waist, pointed at the position of Great Chu, and said loudly: "The land of Great Chu is by no means limited to the current corner, let's talk about the north first, this extremely northern land is sparsely populated, and it should be the strategic barrier of my Great Chu, so it cannot be drawn." As he said this, he drew a large circle north of the map with his sword.

"To the east of this, Korea and Japan should be the fence of my Great Chu, not the land of the country."

"From this west, Qinghai-Tibet and the Western Regions should be the western barrier of my Great Chu, not a place to be feuded."

"To the south of this, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Manila will all become important places for my Great Chu, and they will not be feudal places."

Speaking of this, Ning Yu smiled and said, "As for the rest of Asia, the Americas and even the world, they will all have the opportunity to divide them, build a country, and conquer them forever." ”

When Ning Yu finished speaking, everyone's hearts began to beat faster, they stood in front of the huge map, and they suddenly felt a little suffocated when they thought that they also had the opportunity to become kings.

"Your Majesty, if you are the lord of the feudal country, do you need any conditions?" At that moment, a minister asked with a solemn face.

Ning Yu put the sword into the sheath and said lightly: "If you are the lord of a country, it is naturally not unconditional, first of all, you need to be a hero or a hero of my Great Chu before you are eligible to register, and then the specific scope of the division and the size of the area have been measured by the heroes and lords, if there is no meritorious lord, you cannot be a feudal monarch." ”

This time it is a condition for death, if you want to be a king, hurry up and report to the military, make a few merits first, and then talk about it when you have a knighthood!

Of course, for the princes in the palace, this is naturally not a condition, and even in the hearts of most of them, they still wish that the higher the condition, the better, if everyone can divide the seal, wouldn't it become a joke?

Ning Yu looked at everyone's expressions, and said with a smile: "Since it is going to be divided, the cost should naturally not be paid by the imperial court, and the military expenses used in these places in front of the feudal lords need to be reciprocated by the feudal monarchs after all, so those who want to be feudal monarchs must first pay a part of the deposit, as for the standard depends on the size of the area and population wealth of the feudal region." ”

Yes! I still have to pay for it.....

When the nobles in the lower hall, they suddenly felt a little unreliable in their hearts, although they were all founding heroes and became princes, but they really didn't have much money under their hands...... Not to mention these heroes, even Ning Yu's two younger brothers, in fact, don't have much money, so that Ning Zhongyuan is already thinking about whether to subsidize it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are honest and honest officials, and the eunuch bag is empty, so there is really no way to pay this deposit......"

Everyone raised their eyes, but the person who was crying poor was Song Enming, the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and suddenly his nose was a little crooked, how could you have no money after you are a big family of the Song family?

As everyone thinks, Song Enming is actually rich, he was born in a big family, and his family will give back a lot of money every year, plus he also has a lot of property, and he usually has millions of taels of silver, and it is not particularly difficult to pay this deposit - the problem is that he has to ask this question, because this is what Ning Yu ordered.

The two monarchs and ministers are actually playing double reeds on this issue, the purpose is naturally to raise the price at the same time, so as not to scare away potential buyers, so one person is needed to come out and solve the embarrassing situation.

Ning Yu was slightly happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Song Qing's family is an honest official, and it is normal that they can't take out so much money...... In fact, I think that most people should be difficult to come up with, so you can go and find the support of the Chamber of Commerce! ”

"What? Looking for Chamber of Commerce support? Everyone was taken aback by Ning Yu's words, isn't this clearly supporting the collusion between officials and businessmen?

Even Shoufu Ning Zhongjing couldn't stand it anymore, he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the Chamber of Commerce is often unprofitable, if you look for the support of the Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that you will have to give some conditions, but it will be very harmful to political affairs." ”

Ning Yu smiled and said: "Shoufu don't worry, you have misunderstood what I mean, in fact, in my opinion, if the feudal country is to be established, a large amount of silver will be invested at that time, and it will be difficult for our heroes to come up with it - but the Chamber of Commerce is rich, and they don't have the name to do it, so the two sides might as well cooperate, and when the time comes, the feudal country will be taken out as a project, as long as it is profitable, don't worry about the merchants not being able to come up with the money." ”

Everyone understood, and they also understood the other meaning behind Ning Yu's words, what? There is no benefit to be gained from the feudal state? That means that either you are not suitable to be the lord of the feudal state, or this land is not suitable as a feudal state, and for either reason, it is impossible to support the imperial court to spend money here.

To put it more cruelly, in order to ensure that there are enough benefits from the feudal state, all the feudal monarchs must find a way to make money from the feudal state, and they can no longer regard the people of the feudal state as their own people, but must find a way to exploit them and find a way to plunder the local resources, only in this way can great profits be generated, so that the court and the chamber of commerce can support the feudal country.

When Cui Wancai was in Jingshi, he had already seen the viciousness hidden behind this, so he thought that this strategy was difficult to implement. After all, one or two heroes may not be human beings and can do these things with a clear conscience, but it does not mean that all heroes will choose to let go of their conscience.

Ning Zhongjing has been the first assistant for a long time, he can naturally see the problems here, and the taste of [UM] is even more creepy, and he can't help but sigh deeply, the current Ning Yu is no longer his kind nephew.

Ning Yu looked at everyone with an indifferent expression, as long as this person becomes the emperor, he will naturally no longer take the worldly moral standards in his heart, let alone use morality as a benchmark to measure the ministers and himself.

Only a sufficient interest can make all people willingly rally around him for him to drive.

"Your Majesty, if you are a feudal king, what else do you need to do?" Some ministers continued to ask, and the rest of the people all looked at His Majesty the Emperor in front of them with admiration on their faces, in their hearts, such an emperor was the emperor they would always be worthy of following.

Ning Yu smiled slightly, and said: "If you can pay enough deposits, the rest is the feudal monarchs' own affairs, all internal affairs will be delegated to the feudal monarchs independently, except for the military one, which will be under the full jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and then the feudal monarchs can pay military expenses and taxes to the imperial court in proportion, and the Metropolitan Protectorate will provide protection for the feudal country." ”

As soon as they heard that they had to pay again, everyone's brows were furrowed, they wanted money here and there, would they be able to make money when the time came, would they lose money?

"Your Majesty, these Quartet are barbaric and poor, no better than the land of Great Chu, but I am afraid that I will not be able to collect too many taxes at that time....... How much is the imperial court? Song Enming jumped out again as a trust.

Ning Yu smiled, "I won't set too high a figure for you, in fact, this tax will exist as a condition for the feudal monarch, for example, in this place, several of you want to be a feudal monarch, then there will be an auction at that time, whoever pays a higher total tax will become a local feudal monarch - if you fail to meet the standard of 60% for three consecutive years, or fail to reach 100% for five consecutive years, you will be disqualified from the feudal monarch." ”

"The total amount of taxes set is a promise you made with me and the imperial court, as for how much tax you can collect from the fiefdom, it is your own business, no matter how you toss it, the imperial court will not care about it - even if there is a rebellion, there will be troops from the capital to pacify it."

The big guy looked at the emperor in front of him who was desperate for money, how could there be such a bad person in this world? Did you hear it, what does it mean to toss until the people rebel and it's okay? Isn't this encouraging the big guys to go to the fiefdom to collect more taxes?

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, wouldn't it be against the benevolence and righteousness of the imperial court......."

Soon, some uninteresting Confucians jumped out and began to prepare to stand on the moral high ground, despise Ning Yu fiercely, and teach Ning Yu some ways of 'internal cruelty and external cruelty', so that Emperor Ning could apply rain and dew to the outside world.

Ning Yu snorted coldly, stared at the great Confucian and said, "Since Master Zheng thinks that the way of benevolence and righteousness is feasible, then you might as well go to Myanmar to teach and spread the essence of Confucianism to Myanmar, how about it?" ”

"This ...... Minister...... Damn ........"

After cleaning up the duplicitous Confucian, Ning Yu sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to practice the so-called way of benevolence and righteousness, but you must understand that I am the emperor of Great Chu, you are the officials of Great Chu, and we are only responsible for the people of Great Chu, only if their lives are good, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteousβ€”β€”"

"What does it matter to me whether anyone else lives or dies?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be deeply stunned, and then they bowed and said in unison: "What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers are so ignorant that they can't understand Your Majesty's good intentions. ”

I have to say that before this, there were many ministers who wanted to equate Ning Yu with those violent kings in history, but after Ning Yu's words, everyone couldn't help but think deeply, but they found that what Ning Yu said was really reasonable.

Because in this world, only the people of Ningchu are really their own people, and the others are just neighbors who belong to the scope of 'although far away', if Huaxia is strong enough, the big guys will naturally be able to live happily together, but once Huaxia begins to decline, these friends will begin to grind their claws and prepare to eat meat.

What is the meaning of benevolence and righteousness to them on weekdays, but in the end they are exchanged for killing and looting?

On the contrary, it was Ning Yu's statement that made many people really understand that only by treating their own people as people can they be regarded as real saints who govern the country and level the world, as for how other countries look at it, how the people of other countries evaluate it, is this important?

His enemy, my hero.

When the moral problems were completely swept away, the big guy quickly made a psychological construction and was ready to try to be a feudal monarch - of course, only Myanmar can do it at the moment, so he naturally focused on Myanmar.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the land of Burma now?" Shoufu Ning Zhongyi also pushed the boat down the river and began to ask, after all, the army is still in Myanmar at the moment, and it is not a matter for the long term.

Ning Yu originally had some other ideas about Myanmar, but now seeing that everyone is so enthusiastic, there are some changes, and he said with a smile: "Now that the land of Myanmar is quite large, I plan to set up the Annam Protectorate in Myanmar, and as for the feudal country, all the ministers can apply for registration, as long as they can pass the review, I will be correct." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone happily replied, as for some people, they have already begun to think about which place to want, after all, Myanmar is a real big fat piece at the moment, and if it is done properly, it may be able to make huge profits in Myanmar.
