Chapter 615: Three Choices
Li Su and the children stayed in the zoo all morning, and returned to the palace at noon, but today the palace did not prepare lunch for him, but someone told him that the princess and the two princesses and several other women were eating barbecue in the backyard, and they did not wait for them at all.
Speaking of barbecue, the main thing is that when they were on the way to come before, Cheng Huailiang and they got a few bottles of chili sauce by chance, which made Qinghe like chili peppers all of a sudden, and he took a lot from Li Su as soon as he arrived in Taiwan, and Gao Yang is pregnant and has no appetite, but after tasting chili peppers, he immediately liked this thing, and it is estimated that the idea of eating barbecue this time is likely to be proposed by the two of them.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Su arrived in the inner courtyard, he saw Wen Xin and Qinghe eating barbecue in the pavilion next to the barbecue grill, each with a plate of sauce with chili peppers in front of them, and laughing while eating. And the ugly ugly who was holding the pet was already hungry, and they all rushed up at the moment, and began to eat barbecue with the help of the maid.
Li Su smiled and said hello to Wen Xin and the others, and then wanted to eat something himself, but at this moment, Gao Yang came over and complained a little: "Sixth brother, forget about others, but the bereaved love is your brother-in-law, why did you send him to Tianzhu all of a sudden, I heard that there is still a war there, how can I raise a fetus with peace of mind?" ”
Hearing Gao Yang's complaint, Li Su showed a wronged expression and said: "Gao Yang, you can't blame me for this matter, you also know your temperament, you can't see a war at all, and now the seventh brother and the eighth brother are preparing to make a big move in Tianzhu, so I am going to send a group of officers to observe, but the bereaved love has to rush to go." I can't help but agree! ”
It turns out that Fang Yiai is different from others, and others either go to the army of a certain station. Either he entered the military academy to study, but he took a group of students who had just graduated from the Taiwan Army School to Tianzhu. Get ready to take a closer look at the Tianzhu battlefield. However, this made Gao Yang very worried, so he made trouble today.
Although Li Su said very aggrieved, Gao Yang didn't think so, but was aggressive: "Then I don't care, anyway, the bereaved love is now your subordinate, doesn't he have to listen to you wherever he goes?" ”
Li Su was helpless after hearing this, so he had to argue again: "But this matter was requested by the bereaved love, and now that he is on the road, I can't call him back again, right?" ”
"Not really. I also know the character of the bereaved love, but I heard that there were only a few dozen people when they went this time, and there was a shortage of soldiers over there, so the sixth brother, you can help me write a letter to the seventh brother and the eighth brother, telling them that they must send more people to protect the bereaved love, otherwise if the bereaved love is injured on the battlefield, I will not be polite to them! In the end, Gao Yang's face was murderous, and he could vaguely see the demeanor of the little pepper back then.
However, Li Su asked a little puzzled: "Gao Yang." Then why don't you just write letters to the seventh and eighth brothers yourself? ”
"Of course not, as my beloved wife, how can I ask someone to take care of him, doesn't that weaken the morale of our family? So this letter can only be written by you, Sixth Brother. And try not to mention me in the letter. Gao Yang said confidently.
However, Li Su was almost confused by Gao Yang's theory, and finally figured out that Gao Yang wanted to take care of Fang Yiai. At the same time, he didn't want others to gossip about Fang Yiai's love behind his back, so he borrowed his hand to greet Li Zhen and Li Yun. This kind of delicate mind is probably something that only women can think of.
"Okay. No problem, I'll write when I'm done eating! Li Su said very happily. Let's be honest. He is still very happy with Gao Yang's request, because it shows that in Gao Yang's heart, he still cares about Fang Yiai, and this is enough to show that the relationship between the two is very good, I believe that with this momentum, there will definitely be no more such things in history.
However, Li Su obviously overestimated the patience of women, especially since the other party was still a pregnant woman. Gao Yang saw that Li Su agreed, turned around and took a plate of barbecue and stuffed it into his hand and said, "Sixth brother, you take the barbecue to the study to eat and write, and then send it out immediately, otherwise they will go to Tianzhu if they are beloved!" ”
Gao Yang said, and directly pushed Li Su out, not giving him a chance to argue at all, and Wen Xin and the others were all smiling and silent. This made Li Su sigh that 'girls are outgoing', I don't know if they will be ugly in the future, whether they will be to their father, or to their husband?
Li Su came to the study while eating barbecue, sat down and wrote a letter to Li Zhen and Li Yun, in fact, there is nothing to explain, Fang Yiai is just going to observe the war this time, and will not go to the battlefield at all, so theoretically speaking, there will not be much danger at all. But since Gao Yang has confessed, he can only write a letter to Li Zhen and the others, and let them pay more attention.
After Li Su finished writing the letter, he did not leave the study immediately, but sat sideways in the chair, his left hand supporting his head, and his right hand gently rotating the globe on the desk, thinking about what Qin Huaiyu said to him some time ago, that is, the third brother Li Ke finally couldn't stay in Shanghai, and now he also wants to make his own career like him and Li Zhen and Li Yun.
For Li Su, this matter is easy to say, but difficult to say. The reason why he is easy is because with Li Ke's current strength, it is not too difficult to support Li Ke, coupled with Li Ke's own talent, it is at least easy to establish a force overseas.
But this matter also has his difficulties, the key is where to put Li Ke'an, this world seems to be very big, but in fact, there are only seven continents, of which East Asia and Central Asia have been occupied by the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu in South Asia is Li Zhen and Li Yun's, West Asia and North Africa's big food is a strong rival, although Europe has no too strong opponents, but the distance is a little far, unless the Suez Canal can be dug through.
In addition, Li Su occupies Nanyang, so there is no room for Li Ke to develop.
The first place that Li Su thought of was Australia, which had been discovered by Lu Wan for several years, and the gold rush in Australia had attracted many people to settle there, and now the number of Han people in Australia has exceeded 70,000, and it is likely to exceed 100,000 in two years, it can be said that the Han people there have formed a certain scale, as long as Li Ke goes there, he can effortlessly establish a force of his own.
However, Australia has always been regarded by Li Ke as his own bag, and the cities there are also built by him with great effort, and the officials in the city also belong to his Qi Palace, although he and Li Ke are brothers, but the Australia that has developed into a scale was given to Li Ke at once, Li Su was still a little reluctant and distressed in his heart.
In addition to Australia, the second place is the Americas, which is a rich and beautiful new continent, although there have been caravans to venture there, and even Li Su has established several ports on the west coast of the Americas, but strictly speaking, whether it is South America or North America, it is still an undeveloped virgin land.
In addition, there is another characteristic of the Americas, that is, the two continents are vast, and if Li Ke wants to completely annex it with his current strength, I am afraid it will take at least a few hundred years, and in these hundreds of years, God knows what accidents will occur, so it is better to send Li Ke to the Americas now, and then the two of them each choose a continent to develop together, and in doing so, they can also support each other and promote each other, which is much faster than the speed of one person developing alone.
Of course, in addition to Australia and the Americas, Li Su has another choice in mind, that is, the same vast African continent. Although the Great Eclipse nominally ruled North Africa, it actually only occupied Egypt and the coastal areas of North Africa, and the rest of North Africa was not ruled, let alone Central Africa and South Africa in the south, so there was plenty of room for development in Africa.
In addition, if Li Ke goes to Africa, it will be very beneficial to both Datang and Li Su, because with the disappearance of Java, a slave producing area, the Kunlun slaves in Africa have quickly occupied the slave market, and countless slave ships set sail from Africa every day, carrying slaves through Malacca, and then arriving at coastal ports in Datang or Taiwan.
It is precisely for this reason that if Li Ke goes to Africa, then he can start with the slave trade, so as to quickly accumulate a lot of wealth, and as long as he has money, then the subsequent development will become much simpler, which is stronger than Australia and the Americas.
However, Africa also has its own shortcomings, one is the relatively harsh natural environment, most of Africa is in the tropics is not a short time to adapt, in addition, the folk customs there are also relatively strong, and the level of civilization is low, there are often wars between various tribes, there is no concept of the country, the slave hunting team there is obviously more difficult than other places to catch slaves. If you want to establish your own power in this kind of place, you will undoubtedly need more Han immigrants, but now the number of Han people in Li Su's own hands is insufficient, and he can't help Li Ke in this regard.
The above three areas are the places where Li Ke can be arranged. Each place has its own advantages and disadvantages, and even Li Su doesn't know where to arrange for Li Ke to go? It was precisely for this reason that he did not go to Li Ke for a showdown.
Li Su's right hand turned the globe, his eyes kept sweeping from the seven continents, and at the same time, his mind was also weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the three choices, but unfortunately he had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and the advantages and disadvantages of each place had also made a very profound comparison, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
In the end, Li Su had to sigh, and said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll just go and see the third brother, and then bring up all three places, let him have a headache himself!" (To be continued......)
