Seeing Zhou Yao take the order, Xiao Ruxun looked at Wang Xijue and Li Tingji with a pleasant face.

"Don't worry, Prince Li, I will arrange everything for you, as long as the second duke does his best, Daqin will definitely not treat the second duke badly."

Wang Xijue and Li Tingji swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison, and then hurriedly thanked Xiao Ruxun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

said that he was going to kneel down again, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly helped the two of them up.

Then Xiao Ruxun announced to the rest of the Wenchen generals that he would personally choose a good residence for them in the inner city, so that they would not have to worry.

Then he announced the dismissal of the meeting, and the generals left in groups of threes and threes, and everyone thought that it was okay and that they could sleep peacefully tonight, indeed, most of the people were like this, but the main generals of the various armies were not like this, and when they arrived at the temporary residence, someone suddenly came to call them back.

They were called into the palace again.

This time all the people who came back were Xiao Ruxun's real military generals' henchmen, and they were all cronies and generals who fought the world together.

Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong were also called, and the two were a little uneasy, not knowing what Xiao Ruxun was doing this for.

"I promise them all kinds of benefits, because they need me to use them to envelop them, but you are self-made people who have followed me, and I do not treat you as ordinary courtiers, but even more as my fellow practitioners.

Zimao, Qingxiao, I have fought side by side with you, and I know your human nature, so I don't treat you as generals, I treat you with sincerity, and I also hope that you treat me with sincerity. ”

Xiao Ruxun's first sentence moved the hearts of Zhao Hu and other generals.

And the second sentence was specifically said to Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong.

Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong didn't know what they felt in their hearts for a while, they only felt an inexplicable sense of ease.

Xiao Ruxun continued: "Therefore, I speak big things to them, but I tell you the truth, I tell you the truth, for the reward for you, I am not willing to give you land from the bottom of my heart. ”

The generals were stunned and looked at each other.

Don't want to give land?

Why? Isn't giving land the most common and affordable way to reward meritorious servants? Why don't you give?

"I killed so many gentry and heroes, for what, I just don't want the examples of the prosperity and decline of the past dynasties to reappear again, the things that have happened in all dynasties and dynasties, no one can solve them in the past, I know, you must all like money, like land, and you must also look forward to me giving you tens of thousands of acres of land."

Xiao Ruxun looked around at his henchmen and generals, and saw that they all lowered their heads and said nothing.

"The emperors of the past dynasties have rewarded meritorious heroes in this way, giving official positions, giving titles, giving women money, giving land, of course, the most fundamental thing is land, we Han people have relied on the land for thousands of years to eat, from the ground to eat, no one attaches more importance to the land than us.

However, I want to make some changes, the land in the land of Shenzhou is limited, you divide a little, I will divide a little, and it will be done soon, the officials have money, and the land is not taxed, and it will not take a hundred years, it will be a place where the poor have no place to stand, and then there will be another round of turmoil.

You are now the founding fathers, but before that, weren't you also displaced people who lost their land and could not survive? I believe that there is no one who knows better than you how painful it is for people to lose their land, and I hope that you will never forget where you came from.

The land of the superior is often tens of thousands of acres, but the poor cannot even keep the only dozens of acres of land they have, and can only become a homeless person, this pain, you have all tasted it deeply, so I don't want you to become the group of people you once hated the most. ”

Xiao Ruxun said as he looked at the generals.

The reactions of the generals varied.

Xiao Ruxun's heart sank slightly.

Then he spoke again.

"I know what you are thinking, now everyone has their eyes on the land, but no one has ever looked at the whole world, and no one has ever paid attention to the land of the whole world, they only pay attention to the limited land of Shenzhou, and they don't know anything about the other lands!"

The generals looked at each other and looked at Xiao Ruxun together, their eyes full of doubts.

Xiao Ruxun directly took out a map and put it in front of everyone's eyes.

"This is the map that Matteo Ricci of Europa gave me, a map of the whole world in which we live, and the world I mean does not refer to the land of China alone, but to all the land, including the land of God."

Xiao Ruxun pointed to where China was.

"This is our land of Shenzhou, and beyond this, there is more land, here, here, here, here, all of them are land, most of them are borderless land, just separated from us by a sea!"

Xiao Ruxun pointed to Siberia, North and South America, Australia, and Guiyang.

Then he noticed that something was not quite right in the eyes of his henchmen.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that these lands all exist, and they are ownerless lands? Are those Xiyi's words really credible? This world ...... Is it really that big? Our Daqin is just such a small place? ”

Zhao Hu has seen Matteo Ricci more than once in Myanmar, and his senses for Matteo Ricci are not very good, and he thinks that he is like a god.

"I believe that Chen Long is going to the continent of Europa under the leadership of Matteo Ricci, which at least shows that the Francos are not in the South Seas, but in the continent of Europa, and more importantly, the Europa people like to sail and run around, they have discovered so many borderlands and occupied them!"

Xiao Ruxun's tone aggravated, and the generals suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"They...... Occupy the land? ”

Jiang Dahai's face was full of doubts.

"Yes, otherwise why would I send you to take the sailor and the Francos to a decisive battle on Luzon? Where did the Franciscans come from? The continent of Europa, the continent of Europa that has been going back and forth for almost a year, but the Francos came here and occupied Luzon.

Thousands of miles away, they can all occupy it, what does it mean? This group of Xiyi has bad intentions, and besides, there is something I haven't told you yet, which is what the merchants of France told me when Chen Long was returning with the merchants of France and Genoa.

They said that decades ago, the Franz people had already occupied Luzon, almost in the Jiajing year, and just over 20 years ago, the Francos entrenched in Luzon even planned to attack the Central Plains, they said that with 10,000 soldiers, they could conquer the whole of China. ”

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked and inexplicable.

"You all know that I attacked Luzon to avenge the murdered expatriates there, but more importantly, I did not allow Luzon to become a base for the Francos to attack the Central Plains, so I ordered Jiang Dahai to take Luzon and bring it under his rule, and to strengthen the sailors in case of emergency.

Xiyi is not weak, on the contrary, they have excellent firearms, powerful ships, in the sailors, we do not have an advantage, we defeat one of their partial divisions, and in their own country, there is a more powerful main force, and many countries on the Europa continent have powerful sailors all over the world, occupying land everywhere!

If we don't care about it, sooner or later they will have the idea of attacking us like the Francos, through what Chen Longzheng saw and heard when he went to the Europa Continent, I know that they all know about the existence of our Huaxia, but we know very little about them, it is always them who come over, not us in the past, the world is so big, do you want to cheapen those Xiyi?

They told me that the islands of the South Seas have countless spices, and that on the other side of the sea, there is an innumerable amount of gold, and that the locals are even willing to exchange the same amount of gold for their goods, and that there are still people, and many, many uncivilized people, who are good slaves! ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at his generals: "Don't you want to gallop across this broader land?" Now let me tell you that these borderlands, these lands of spice and gold, are my reward for you. ”
