Chapter 708. Knighted, sweet!

One by one, the big microphones were handed forward heavily.

To be honest, even the reporters of the Imperial Capital Daily don't know what this thing is for, but it was given by Emperor Mao Jue himself, and it is estimated that it is similar to the nine-tin staff given to Xuanzang by Tang Taizong! So now, whether it is the Imperial Capital Daily, or the reporters of the second- and third-rate tabloids below, everyone has this thing in their hands.

With the professional style brought by this thing, the reporters surrounded the captain of the Imperial Navy who got off the ship, and the reporters were also excitedly asking questions like the kindergarten children.

"Master Ma, I heard that you have discovered Beiju Luzhou, is it true?"

"Is Beiju Luzhou really full of ice and snow, have you ever seen the Antarctic Immortal, is there really a Rui Beast?"

"Have you seen any other immortals?"

In the past, Ma Bao also believed in the four continents in Journey to the West, but now, he simply has a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am sober, a kind of foolish look at the ignorant reporters below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the support of His Majesty, the last general has completed the voyage, but what the last will arrive is by no means the northern Luzhou, and there are no gods and monsters on it, that land, the people of Xifan have already arrived first, and they call it the New World, and my Ming Liaodong, the north of the New World is also ice and snow cold, but to the south, the climate becomes warm and comfortable, with patches of forests, all kinds of wild beasts, land that can be cultivated, and most importantly, this!"

Can be famous in history, Ma Bao is also a talented person A passionate press release, these days is he recited word for word, shouting is quite enthusiastic, and then, as he waved his hand, a few sailors carried over a few heavy boxes, in front of many reporters to unveil it, suddenly, under the noon sun, flashing in the pupils of those reporters, a dazzling golden light.

Gold! It's all gold! One box of fine golden sand, two boxes of solid gold nuggets, the city of Ottawa was originally founded because of the gold mines, and now it is the turn of the Ming people to collect this gift from God!

At first, Westerners flocked to the New World because of the yellow-orange-orange gold! And in the eyes of the Orientals, gold also has the magic to make people crazy!

The reporters spoke much faster, and there was even a bit of greed in their tones.

"Master Ma, is there a lot of gold in the New World?"

"Is it okay to mine gold at will?"

"Is the New World dangerous? But what ferocious man-eating beasts? ”

Under the hurried question, Ma Bao didn't have time to answer which one, so he simply raised his hands high and shouted loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the gold in the New World cannot be said to be everywhere, it is almost the same as what I have in Huaxia, but after thousands of years of mining in my Huaxia, most of the gold mines that can be mined have been developed, but there is no one there, and no one has found gold buried in the mountains, there is not much gold, you can imagine for yourself!"

"As for the danger, it is true that there are some fierce beasts such as wild boars, bears and tigers in the mountains, and on the way to the New World, you can also encounter some fierce sea beasts, but everyone, there are no bumps, where can you lead to success? This little danger is, in my opinion, completely insignificant!"

"Tomorrow will set up an immigration office in the household office yamen in Guangqumen, and anyone who wants to go to the New World to open mines, pan for gold, or do business can handle it at the immigration office!"

This is definitely a blockbuster news, not only the reporters cheered, but even the rich bastards who were transferred out by Mao Jue in the back of the Beijing division were short of breath, Ma Bao's words were not too exaggerated, and they were not boasted by Westerners to the extent that gold was everywhere, and it also raised dangers, but because of this, it was attractive!

Assets are like a greedy glutton, thinking about new expansion all the time, gold mines that no one has mined, dense and ownerless forests that can build granges, uncultivated land, these are all wealth, and the imperial fleet has fought back and forth, indicating that the other side of the sea is not impossible to come back, and these big financiers can't help but be excited.

But the main event is still to come, just in the first hustle and bustle, at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel, a guard suddenly squatted down, and the other guard was a cannon, suffocating between his crotch, and a moment later, in the face of the horse guard, the high imitation eunuch tenor suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty has arrived at !!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Even if Mao Jue cut the court etiquette I don't know how much, this year, the imperial power is still supreme, with a bang, whether it is reporters or celebrities, they all knelt on the ground in a panic, as for the already neat expeditionary force sailors, they knelt like chess, in this warm welcome, Mao Jue was like Dong Zhuo in "New Three Kingdoms", flicking his sleeves with his stomach, swaggering and leading a large group of important ministers to the edge of the port.

If it was in the past, Mao Jue would have shouted that he would have been exempt from etiquette, to be honest, he didn't like the appearance of a group of people with their heads on the ground and their buttocks arching to the sky, he had the impression that the stars could only show the taste of power when they held the moon! However, this time Mao Jue was the first to stay on the three swaying galleons in the bay, for a while, then he turned his gaze back, and after a while, Mao Jue pulled out the saber on his waist with a bang, and put it on Ma Bao's shoulder.

However, Ma Bao was not only afraid, but even trembled slightly with excitement.

"Captain Ma Bao, are you willing to dedicate the Xinjiang territory you have discovered to me, and according to the laws of the empire, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general is willing to open up territory for the empire, it is a great honor!"

Raising his head, Ma Bao shouted excitedly, of course, this excitement did not come from dedicating the land to Mao Jue at all, but from the words that Mao Jue was about to speak, and then, Mao Jue really did not disappoint him.

"Very good, General Ma has made meritorious contributions in opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and I canonized General Ma as the county uncle of Maple in the name of the great son of tomorrow! Thirty miles of Maple County! Hereditary recklessness!"

You must know that the Northern Ming Empire is still a knight, and the abdicated Emperor Enlightened was named Rang Dehou! Even if Mao Jue's own son Mao Wenlong, and his father-in-law Yu Dacheng's uncle Wen Meng, they were not sealed! Now he Ma Bao has become the second person to eat crabs, and the title is not low! Maple Uncle!

Moreover, it is sealed!

Thirty miles in a radius, one county! This is the equivalent of building a small independent kingdom!

In the red heartbeat of a large group of people, Mao Jue immediately threw out a news that was enough to stun everyone.

"Those who go to the New World! If you cultivate a piece of land for two years, and spend half of the first half to go to the household department to apply for a land development certificate, in the name of the empire, this land will belong to your private property and will be passed on from generation to generation!"

"Lead relatives to work, reclaim fifty miles of wasteland, recruit five hundred immigrants, seal thirty miles, and seal the title of viscount of the town!"

"Reclaim 500 miles of wasteland, recruit 5,000 immigrants, seal 300 miles, and seal the county earldom!"

Which dynasty has the most difficult title to get? It is none other than Daming, as soon as Mao Jue's golden mouth is opened, it is equivalent to opening a new channel of rights outside the imperial examination, which simply makes the reporters and celebrities present go crazy.

However, just when a mountain was about to shout out, a stiff shout interrupted the climax!

"Minister, oppose!"

In Mao Jue's surprised eyes, Hubu Shangshu and Sun Chuanting, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, stood up with a sullen head and knelt heavily in front of him.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the chaos of the feudal kings in the early years of our dynasty is vividly remembered, Your Majesty is out of a public heart, but it is the way to bring disaster for the imperial court, in the future, the feudal towns will be lined up, the feudal soldiers will be rampant, where is the majesty of the imperial court?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!!"

Not only was everyone present stunned, even Mao Jue himself was a little sluggish, this was super scripted, he couldn't help it, he glanced back, in the crowd, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and several generals obviously lowered their heads in a heartbeat, and several other Confucian ministers showed the same look as Sun Chuanting, but they didn't dare to say that Hong Chengchou's performance was similar to that of the generals.

After a trance, Mao Jue became clear again for a moment.

He just gave this order, and the generals around him benefited the most, even if the whole army directly took Mao Jue's salary, when he received the reward, he also knew that he received the reward of General Mao's master, not like the Ming Dynasty, but after so many years, which military general does not have some old subordinates, it is easy to seal a county in the new continent.

Hong Chengchou is similar, he also has the ambition to establish a small independent kingdom, but he belongs to Wenchen, so he is very hesitant.

As for those ministers who came from traditional Confucianism, perhaps Sun Chuanting was motivated by public intentions, but most of them were born with an aversion to such non-unified local forces, and resented that they had weakened the authority of the central court, which was tantamount to infringing on their interests.

Who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor, I really can't say!

After pondering for a moment, Mao Jue suddenly smiled, turned his face to look at Ma Bao, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Maple, Lord Sun is worried that you will rebel! Will you? ”
