The old mountain palace, the imperial pole hall.

"Your Majesty, the king of Chongqing wants to establish a vassal state, and he is also forced to do so, because His Royal Highness the county king is already in debt, and there are nearly 4,000 warriors to support, and the land under his command is desolate and barren...... His Royal Highness the King of the County is not only guarding the border for the country, but also providing for the elderly, which is really loyal and filial! ”

It's Yao Daqiao, a profiteer, who is talking nonsense!

This profiteer is also a character, he doesn't panic when he sees Tianyan, he speaks so fluently, and he also blows the stupid king Zhu Cihuan into a person who is loyal and filial.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Zhu Yihai, the king of the Zongren Mansion who was sitting on the side, and said expressionlessly: "King Lu, you are the Zongren Mansion Order, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Yihai is a hereditary "prince of Ke Nan", and he is also a prince, and he has also supervised the army and led soldiers in Shandong, and he has an ordinary prince who has a family property in the distant dynasty, not to mention a "5,000 acres of county king". However, his family has a big business, and there are many people in the family, not only a bunch of brothers and nephews want him to take care of, but also a group of Shu Zong who have lost their clan status also have to be helped by him, so the money is also tight, just now I heard Yao Daqiao say Zhu Cihuan's method of getting money, and he was actually a little moved. Now listening to Zhu Cihong's question, he blurted out: "I really didn't expect the king of Chongqing to find such a financial way......

Zhu Cihong glanced at him and said in his heart: Are you envious of him? Why don't you also gather some of the old tribes and go and make a vassal country out?

Zhu Yihai was glared at by Zhu Cihong, and he also knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly changed his words: "I'm afraid that someone will follow suit!" The king of Chongqing has no ability, and he has no capital, and there are too many people in the clan who are stronger than him...... He can use the prestige of the Celestial Empire to pull up the team and lay a ground, others should be able to do it, right? ”

Yes, you can do it! Zhu Cihong thought to himself: You have been a warlord after all, and there are many old departments. Your son Zhu Honghuan is also a little promising, and he was also admitted to the Army Lecture Hall, and now he has graduated and is a staff officer in the Generalissimo's Mansion, which is much more capable than the fifth child.

Zhu Yihai said at this time: "Actually, there are good and bad things in this matter...... At best, it is not only to open up the territory, but also to reduce the burden of the imperial court, which is really a double win! Now there are so many sons of the emperor, and they are still giving birth and raising, and the number of two hundred will not be certain in the future, but one hundred and fifty cannot be stopped. These are all county kings, one king gives 5,000 acres of land, and one hundred and fifty kings is 750,000 acres!

Your Majesty, you will definitely be a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren in the future, how much land will these dragon sons and dragon grandchildren give? How much rent can be collected for 10,000 acres of land? Can it support the dignity of a royal mansion? ”

Even if 10,000 acres of land is a paddy field, if it is rented out for a year, it is a net income of five or six thousand taels of silver. Less is no less, but it's definitely not wide...... After all, the palace is not an ordinary rich family, and the expenses on all kinds of entertainment and face are indispensable, otherwise the "old king" Zhu Cihuan would not be so poor.

"And sooner or later, the princes of each family are also full of descendants, and now the princes who are not difficult will surrender on their behalf, and there is only one son who can attack the lord." Zhu Yihai frowned and said, "This full house of descendants has to find a way!" If it is still the same as in the past, the children and grandchildren of the prince's family have ancestral wealth, who wants to cross the ocean to toss a vassal country? ”

It turns out that it is very happy to be raised as a pig! Glory and wealth are at your fingertips, and you have everything when you lie still. Like the descendants of Emperor Chongzhen now, the beginning is 5,000 acres plus a house, and 5,000 acres are still northern dry land, and the location of the house is becoming more and more remote...... If you want to have a better life, you have to work hard!

"Not everyone can have the luck of the king of Chongqing!" Zhu Cihong thought for a while, and then said, "The king of Chongqing County has hit the tuyere, and even pigs can fly if he hits the tuyere!" ”

To paraphrase the words of later generations, Zhu Cihuan hit the tuyere of the colonial expansion of the Celestial Empire, took the "human life venture capital" of the Japanese devils, and then attached himself to the United States of New Island, and then burned people's lives to burn out a vassal country!

"Outlets? Pigs can fly ......" Zhu Yihai really didn't understand what this meant, so after tasting the product, he said according to his own thoughts, "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if other clans don't have the luck of the king of Chongqing, you can make up together, one prince can't do it, what about ten princes?" The princes' path is relatively wide, and they have a few savings, so let's pool money together to find a way, isn't there a big chance? In fact, there is no need to build a country of 15,000 miles square, and it is enough to have a country of 5,000 miles square. ”

Well, this is to crowdfund a country! Zhu Cihong said in his heart: King Lu, are you going to go to everyone to get together after you leave the palace?

Zhu Cihong nodded, "It's still King Lu who thinks thoughtfully, crowdfunding is good, everyone pools money together, the risk can be shared, and it can also reduce the fight between each other." ”

Zhu Yihai laughed: "Your Majesty, is the matter invited by the king of Chongqing County allowed or not?" ”

"Accurate!" Zhu Cihong nodded and said with a smile, "I still have so many younger brothers who want to join forces to open a domain, how can I not be allowed?" King Lu, let's go together to report the good news to the Emperor! By the way, I asked him to give a name to the vassal state of the king of Chongqing. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Daqiao again, "Yao Daqiao, you should come along...... How can this Chongqing county king pay back the 250,000 taels of pension money owed to the emperor? Taishang has been thinking about it! ”

Yao Daqiao replied: "Your Majesty, as long as the vassal state of the king of Chongqing can be opened and the title can be sold, there will be silver to be returned to the Taishang." ”

"How long will that be?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Don't be so troublesome, just give the baron of twenty-five fiefdoms and ten miles to Taishang." There are so many concubines in Taishang, maybe there are still people who want to go to the New World to be the companion of the king of Chongqing! ”

......

"Father, my son has congratulated you, the fifth brother has sent someone back from the New World to pay off the debt!"

In Renshou Palace, Emperor Chongzhen finally heard the long-awaited good news!

"Really? Did Cihuan really send someone to repay my pension money? The Emperor Taishang, who was sitting on the throne, was about to smile crookedly, "I know that he is a filial son, and he has me in his heart!" ”

"Father," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "Your old man's ears are back, and the son is talking about repaying debts, not repaying money." ”

Chongzhen was stunned, "Isn't this the same thing?" ”

"Of course it's different!" Zhu Cihong said, "To repay the money is to repay the cash and repay the debt...... Then there is not necessarily any cash. ”

Chongzhen was a little disappointed, "No cash? Something to resist? ”

"Use the title and land to pay off the debt," Zhu Cihong said, "the fifth child can make a profit this time, and he has built a territory of 15,000 miles in the New World, and wants to ask for a feudal state and then sell the title." ”

"What?" Chongzhen was stunned, "Isn't this the way of the United States?" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Almost!" ”

"Then the fifth child wants to sell the title and then return my silver?"

"Of course not," Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "The fifth brother knows that his father has too many sons, and he worries about the future of his sons all day long, so he wants to share some ...... for you He intends to give you 25 barons with ten miles of towns. One such place is worth 10,000 taels, and 25 is 250,000 taels. ”

The smile on Chongzhen's face disappeared suddenly.

What is this? How could I worry too much about my son? Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cihong and said in his heart: That's what you should worry about!

"Can the baron of ten miles be my son?" Chongzhen asked calmly.

Zhu Cihong replied with a smile: "The titles sold by the old five can be combined, five barons and one viscount, five viscounts and one earl, the earl has two hundred and fifty miles square, that is 100,000 acres of land...... Promising! Father, the seventh is not young, it should be sealed, or he will be appointed to be an earl under the fifth child? ”

Seal off the New World? Chongzhen said: Did you save 5,000 acres of land and a house?

Zhu Cihong glanced at Chongzhen, and said: "Father, the fifth child is lonely over there, surrounded by samurai from Japan, if there is no relatives to rely on, sooner or later he will be set aside by the Japanese, so the son wants to let the seventh pass." Of course, I can't let Lao Qi go alone, I will find him a good family again...... The father gave him another tens of thousands of taels of travel expenses, so that it would be foolproof. ”
