On May 10, the eighth year of Daming Dao, a group of neatly dressed characters had gathered on the edge of the Shuizhai Wharf on the side of the Tianzhu River. The long pavilion and the painted archway have been built according to the highest specifications. There is also a row of pavilions built on the edge of the wharf, which are covered with straw mats, and there are also many low tables with various melons, fruits, tea soups and small snacks on the tables. Around these low tables were filled with beautiful women and children, chattering and talking while eating their food. From time to time, a baby who was still swaddling would cry. It's so noisy!

Such a scene of pick-up is probably something that Chen Dexing, a sage of the Ming Dynasty, has never encountered. But then again, the fifty or sixty little dolls here are all supposed to come. Because they are all Chen Dexing's younger brothers and sisters, theoretically cousins, in fact, they are all relatives. There were sixty-three people, thirty-one younger brothers, and thirty-two younger sisters......

So many younger brothers and sisters, of course, were created by Chen Huaiqing and dozens of concubines in the past ten years. This Lao Chen's body is really good enough to be admired...... If genetics still work, this matter does not seem to be all bad news for Chen Dexing. Look at Chen Huaiqing is such a good woman, she is actually healthy and alive to more than sixty, and she has no disease, she looks very strong, and it is said that she is accompanied by a beauty every night. It seems that Chen Dexing still has many years of happiness to enjoy!

Of course, there are also downsides. Sixty-three brothers and sisters! Many of them are meeting for the first time, and Chen Dexing is the emperor again, can he not give a reward to each person? And if the reward is less, you can't take it......

Reward or something, in fact, it's easy to say. Before leaving Beijing, it was prepared by Guo Fuer and Li Cuixian. A total of 80 copies were prepared--Chen Huaiqing also had a few pregnant concubines, so let's give one for each person. In addition, Chen Defang also has a pair of legal children. are all from the crown princess Jia, and it seems that there is an illegitimate child, who is his "female black slave" Goodit. And those who were born of Solomon must also be given a reward. There are also more than a dozen copies to spare, so as not to suddenly have more pregnant mothers.

These rewards cost a lot of money, but they are really nothing to Chen Dexing. Now the Canal Co., Ltd. pays dividends to the Daming court for a year. There are as many as 800,000 guan. In addition, the Ming court also holds a large number of real estate in the north and south of Erjing, Ming Mansion, Daimyo's Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, Lin'an Mansion, Qingyuan Mansion and Quanzhou Mansion, and the annual rental income is also hundreds of thousands!

With these two major items alone and some miscellaneous investment income (mainly interest on bonds), Chen Ming's court can earn more than 1.6 million yuan a year. It is more than the annuity income of Chen Dexing, Guo Fu'er, Li Cuixian, Zhao Lin'er, and Baoyin, as well as the income of the grange -- by the way, the income of Chen Ming's court is also different from that of previous dynasties. It is not a unified account, but a year by the Cabinet Office. Rather, it consists of three major items: investment income, annuity, and grange income.

Among them, the annuity and the income of the grange are not all in the name of the emperor Chen Dexing, and they are not all expenses of the Ming Cabinet Office. Guo Fu'er, Li Cuixian, Zhao Lin'er and Baoyin all have their own income. Among them, Guo Fuer, the queen mother, has an annuity income of 50,000 yuan per year; Li Cuixian, the queen, also has an annuity of 50,000 yuan, and at the same time, because of the battle of Julu and the merit of winning over Li Yanguo, she was given 30,000 acres of grange; Because Zhao Lin'er is the queen of the Western Song Dynasty, she can get an annual income of 120,000 yuan from the Western Song Dynasty court (starting from the eighth year of Tiandao). In addition, there are palaces and 3 million acres of land in the territory of the Western Song Dynasty; Baoyin is a heavenly envoy, who can lead 8,000 yuan from the Heavenly Taoist Sect every year, and is also given 10,000 acres of grange because of his merit in winning over Haidu and preaching among the Mongols. And Chen Dexing, the emperor, has an annuity of one million yuan and an imperial village of 100,000 acres. In addition, Chen Dexing, as the king of the Heavenly Dao Sect, can also get an annuity of 120,000 yuan from the Heavenly Dao Sect every year.

All kinds of income are stacked, even if they don't include the income of a bunch of children who have been crowned princes and princesses, as well as all kinds of gray incomes that are not clear. Chen Dexing's family income also exceeded 3 million yuan a year - the silver content was almost 1 million taels. Compared with the wealth of the Zhao and Song royal families, it seems that it is not much. However, Chen Dexing did not have to pay for the three armies (most of Zhao Song's royal income was used to reward the army). to buy the hearts of the military), these more than 3 million guan are real disposable income. Therefore, it is quite generous, with a balance of more than one million yuan every year.

So this time, Chen Dexing was also very generous to his younger siblings, and each of them could get more than 5,000 yuan worth of property. Eighty rewards were prepared, and a total of 400,000 yuan was spent, which was not a small amount of money, but it was not to the point where Chen Dexing frowned.

But when this Chen Dasheng got off the "Shenzhou". When I saw my younger siblings and little mother who were all black, I couldn't help frowning. Although there is no family planning in India, it can't be born like this! With the addition of himself and Chen Defang, these are sixty-five children, if you count those who did not survive. It's more than a hundred! This is too prohibition, isn't it?

gave birth to so much, he raised ...... Ah, of course you can afford it. Chen Dexing glanced at his proud father Chen Huaiqing, who was dressed in a dragon robe. This master now earns more than himself!

His great Britain had rich oil-flowing Bengal and Ganges valleys, and at least 30 million Shudras and Dutleys under his rule. This land is not only developed in agriculture, but also has a handicraft industry that is no less than that of the south of the Ming River. It is the center of cotton yarn production in the world today, and it is also rich in spices that are exported to Daming and Europa, and the metallurgical industry here is also quite developed (India is the production area of Uzi steel), and it is now possible to create wrought iron carburized armor that is no less defensive than Nanfen steel armor.

According to the investigation of the Ming Army Staff and the Secret Agent Bureau, the British Kingdom's financial revenue in the six years of Tiandao has exceeded 40 million. With the successive establishment of political power at all levels in the British Kingdom and the stability of its rule, this number is expected to double to 80 million in the eighth year of the Heavenly Dao!

Moreover, the system of the British Kingdom is not the same as that of the Ming Empire, there is no aristocratic democracy and consultative council here, only the dictatorship of the British monarchy! Therefore, no one can ask how much King Chen Huaiqing can put in his pocket in a year. According to the assessment of the Ming Dynasty, from the financial plate of the British Kingdom alone, Chen Huaiqing made about 8 million yuan last year! In addition, Chen Defang also put all the commercial taxes in Delhi City into his pocket, and he made no less than 1 million yuan last year......

In addition, the father and son also made great efforts to conquer Bengal and the Ganges River basin. It was originally a land that belonged to the Celestial Cultists. Now more than half of it belongs to Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang. The two of them are the number one and second big landlords in the world! The annual rent of these lands is probably also in the millions.

It is probably the most appropriate to describe this father and son as rich and rival countries.

Moreover, in the past few years, it is not only Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang who have made a fortune in Tianzhu, and the tens of thousands of Han people who followed them have now turned into special Brahmins, who do not have thousands of acres of water to irrigate the land, and do not have a few big mansions. No hordes of servants?

Compared with them, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the unreasonable people of the Southern Fan Countries, and the citizens of the Autonomous Cities of Beimingzhou who everyone carries guns, have all become poor.

"Minister, Ji Dagong Chen Dewen, long live the Ming sage, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

It was the induction ceremony that took place in a newly completed palace inside the Riverside Castle. This palace is Chen Huaiqing's palace by the river. The area is not large, but the construction is very gorgeous, completely Chinese style, and it is built in the shape of the North Neideshou Palace in Lin'an.

Now being led by a black eunuch to Chen Dexing's throne and bowing down was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, not very old, but already tall and strong. Chen Dewen's mother-in-law, Chen Dexing, has known each other for a long time. She was bought home by Chen Huaiqing from Lin'an Wazi Lane in her early years, and she was not the head of the red line in the Qinglou, but a good wrestler who played female sumo. No wonder she was able to give birth to such a tall son.

"Good! Brother Dewen. Get up. Chen Dexing stretched out his hand and took a reward from Mrs. Yang beside him. However, he didn't hand it over to his younger brother, but asked with interest: "Dewen, are you the Grand Duke of Ji?" Is it the Grand Duke of Chittagong? ”

There is a difference, the Grand Duke is the king of a country!

Chen Dewen stood up, stood opposite Chen Dexing with his hands and shoulders down, and replied respectfully: "Return to the saint." The minister is the Grand Duke of Ji, and the official mansion is in the city of Ji Dafu, but it is not the Grand Duke but the Duke of the State. ”

"Oh, it's Guogong?" Chen Dexing frowned and looked at Chen Huaiqing, who was sitting on an embroidery pier next to him. He knows. The Guogong of the Tianzhu Ying Kingdom and the Guogong of the Ming Dynasty are not the same thing.

The treatment and privileges of the Ming Dynasty are limited, except for a fixed annuity of several thousand yuan, which is a 10,000-acre grange, and it is not tax-free. If the Duke of the British Kingdom was like this, Tran Tak Fong would not have such a big opinion.

"Qingzhi," Chen Huaiqing called his son's name and explained with a smile, "The British duke is different from the Ming duke, and he has to guard one side. ”

The princes and even princes of the Ming Dynasty did not have the responsibility of guarding one side - the Ming Dynasty practiced local autonomy, and the local free gentry and gentry did not need the imperial court to send princes to guard the parliament. Therefore, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where the place name of the title is located, the mansion is built in Liangjing.

However, the situation in the Kingdom of England is different, where the Duke is actually half a Grand Duke. The reason why it is "half" instead of one is of course inseparable from Chen Defang's resolute opposition. At the same time, it is also related to the fact that Chen Huaiqing's concubines are all young. This Chen Huaiqing only began to recruit concubines after Chen Dexing developed and had more concubines. Therefore, these concubines are more than 20 years younger than Chen Dexing, and they are about the same as Chen Dexing's sons.

A bunch of little kids, it is naturally impossible to govern the country. Just like Chen Dexing will not let his son go to Beimingzhou to join the country, Chen Huaiqing's concubines are now only nominal grandfathers.

Chen Huaiqing paused, smiled and continued to explain: "Jida has the responsibility of guarding the place in the public mansion of Jida, and there are complementary ministers, and there are three battalions of guards under the jurisdiction of the public mansion. Except for the chief officials and the commander of the guards, the officials of the government are selected by the government itself. If the people of Jida dare to violate the Duke of Jida, they will be punished by the public government district, and local officials and imperial historians shall not be questioned. ”

"Are there any officials sent by the royal court in Najida?" Chen Dexing asked.

"Yes!" Chen Huaiqing said with a smile, "The prefect of Jida, the county orders of the counties to which Jida belongs, or some subordinate officials of the prefect and the prefect, are all sent by the royal court. After waiting for a while, the royal court also planned to open a imperial examination to test the principles of Confucianism and Buddhism, and all men from noble families could go to apply for the examination. ”

The policy adopted by the Great Britain of Tianzhu is different from that of the Southern Fan countries, and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Song Dynasty and other countries are "national people", and the Chinese people are against the savages, which is actually constantly squeezing out the living space of the savages!

But in the Kingdom of England, it's hard to do that – 80 million a year! They were all created by the working people of Tianzhu, how could Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang be willing to eliminate them? Who will serve those special brahmins after they have been eliminated?

The working people of Tianzhu are actually very good at doing things, which is different from the indigenous savages who don't love labor in Nanfan!

In addition to the working people, there were many high-ranking people in Tianzhu who could serve the Chinese conquerors - all of them were descendants of the Aryans who were white-skinned, more pleasing to the eye, and had very flexible and pragmatic brains. In fact, they were also conquerors in the early years, and they forgot how to fight after a long time of comfort, but they were happy to cooperate with the later conquerors to exploit and enslave the untouchables here in Tianzhu...... Moreover, the untouchables of Tianzhu themselves think that they are cheap, and they can only work hard and serve the nobles.

Therefore, the Chinese nobles who conquered Tianzhu are now happy to merge with the white-skinned nobles here in Tianzhu. No one wants a genocide or anything in Tianzhu.

"Will the Grand Duke of Naji also rule Jida with the magistrates sent by the royal court in the future?" Chen Dexing did not give up and continued to ask.

Chen Huaiqing frowned slightly, of course he knew what Chen Dexing's question meant-Chen Dexing did not support the division of Chen Huaiqing's land to a bunch of concubines as a feudal state. Now he has more than 30 sons, if Chen Huaiqing lives for another ten or twenty years, it is not certain whether the number of sons can exceed 100, and there is no suspense if he exceeds 50. So many sons, if one made a feudal state, Bengal and the north bank of the Ganges River would be cut into more than fifty parts. is so fine, what strength is there to resist Chen Defang's cutting of the domain?

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Chen Dexing smiled, handed the reward in his hand to his younger brother Chen Dewen, and waved him to retire. Then he smiled and said to Chen Huaiqing: "Uncle, it's better to let the government and the government govern the place together." It's good to have a restraint between each other, do you think it's okay? (To be continued.) )
