Chapter 221: The Value of a Colony

Li Jiuxu!

This is Li Kang racking his brains to get a name for his eldest son, although he is slightly hurt by the birth day of November 11, which is very unbeautiful, but his strong self-confidence makes Li Kang not think that his eldest son will become a bachelor in the future, even if he wastes firewood, he will not find a wife.

As a result, Nuoda Huaxia finally had a successor, and many people put their hearts in their stomachs, and then they congratulated for a while.

On November 28, Gao successfully gave birth to Li Kang's second son, Li Kang's mouth was crooked, according to the rules, he named it "Li Jiuchen", and the ministers congratulated him again, but the smile on his face was obviously not as sincere as the last time, and many people turned their heads and showed a sad color.

On December 10, Heiyun's family was in labor, dystocia, and after more than ten hours of fighting, it was finally difficult to leave a pair of twin sons, and the mother and child were safe.

Li Kang: "......"

In other words, he originally expected the Heiyun clan to give him a daughter, but he didn't expect it to be a son again, and there would be two of them.

[Could it be that my physique will only give birth to a son?] Li Kang couldn't help but have some kind of fantasy thought.

But no matter what, it is his own species, Li Kang is still very happy, and named the twin sons "Li Jiudan" and "Li Jiusheng" respectively.

Li Kang was very happy, but in addition to him, the Heiyun clan could still be happy, at least Tan Yunxian, who was the main room, and a group of ministers couldn't help but be worried.

Four cousins of the same age are too much of a threat to their future sons-in-law!

If there is only one, you can still expect him to be honest, but now there are four of them all at once, and people's hearts are complicated, and it is almost impossible to expect all four of them to be honest and responsible.

In the future, there will inevitably be a fight between brothers for inheritance, unless Li Kang personally stands up and stands up for the chosen heir.

But is it possible?

In the past few years of getting along, the ministers all feel that Li Kang can't do this kind of thing, maybe he will deliberately create a false impression for all his sons that 'as long as they behave well, anyone can be on it', well, maybe it's not an illusion at all, he really thinks so.

That's right!

If they dared to reveal their hearts directly to Li Kang, Li Kang would definitely answer them like this, and that's what he thought.

The day after the birth of the third and fourth sons, it was the full moon day of the eldest son, and after a group of people drank a full moon wine together, Li Kang returned to Tan Yunxian's residence drunk.

"What's wrong? Look at you all the time looking absent-minded today!"

Enjoying Tan Yunxian's careful care, Li Kang asked softly while stretching out his hands so that Tan Yunxian could help him loosen his clothes.

All along, Tan Yunxian insisted on personally serving Li Kang to change his washing.

Tan Yunxian paused slightly with both hands and said, "It's nothing..."

When Li Kang heard this, he just nodded lightly, and didn't say anything more, people are talking about Yunxian's operation.

No matter what kind of woman she is, she can't be free and easy in this regard, no matter how nice she says and how atmospheric she is.

Under Tan Yunxian's service, Li Kang changed into light pajamas, and then washed his face and feet, and the two did not talk a word during the whole process, but they cooperated very tacitly, like an old husband and wife for many years.

"Yunxian?" Li Kang wiped his feet dry, climbed into bed, and suddenly screamed.

"Huh?" Tan Yunxian couldn't help but look at him curiously with the water for washing his feet.

"Let's have a baby!" Li Kang said seriously.

"Ah?!" Tan Yunxian was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly Xia Fei's cheeks were so ashamed that he almost didn't even grasp the footbath, even if he had been a husband and wife for four months, in the face of this kind of problem, Tan Yunxian was not so thick-skinned and calm.

"You don't want to?" said Li Kang with a narrow smile.

Tan Yunxian didn't say a word, quickly turned around and ran to pour the footwater.

But from her steps, in addition to panic, Li Kang also saw a hint of excitement.

"Hahaha..."

Li Kang laughed heartlessly behind him, and the flush on Tan Yunxian's face spread directly to the crystal earlobe, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked... The steps are brisker.

One night in Wushan, the sky was cloudless.

......

As soon as five years had passed, Tan Yunxian was diagnosed with a happy pulse, which instantly swept away the dark clouds that shrouded his heart, and even the complexion on his face turned a lot redder.

The bigwigs also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then put this matter behind them, and buried their minds in summarizing the harvest of Huaxia in the past five years, and more importantly, the double-headed eagle plan that began in Huaxia in the sixth year.

After such a long time of analysis by the bigwigs, Li Kang finally discovered one of his misunderstandings.

Influenced by the history of the Old World, Li Kang has always felt that overseas colonization is the best choice for exploration, which is easy to understand, because there are so many successful cases, such as Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, all of which were once empires on which the sun never sets, unlike land countries that have an invisible imperial barrier, such as the Qin Empire, the Han Empire, and later the Tang Empire.

But Li Kang ignored one point, that is, in the colonial era, there was not a colonial value everywhere, in other words, not all colonies could bring benefits to the colonizers, and colonization without benefits could even drag down the finances of the colonial countries.

The reason why the colonial countries can develop rapidly is because the selected colonies have huge interests, which can make the colonial countries make a lot of money, so that they have the money to launch the next wave of colonization, and so on in a virtuous circle, the national flags of the colonial countries are planted all over the world with the expansion of the colonies.

And what kind of colony is a valuable colony?

First, it is necessary to have a rich population that can dump cheap industrial products at home. For example, India.

Second, abundant resources. For example, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

Thirdly, the location is superior, whether it is a strategic location, or as a business transit. For example, Ceylon, such as Gibraltar, such as Singapore, and such as Macau, which is a shame for the Chinese people.

But what value does the south of the Hengduan Mountains make the colonization of China not lose money, well, it should be said that what value is guaranteed to make more money from going south than going west!

Don't be funny, not to mention how many people there are, but compared to the forest natives around China, no matter how many people there are, their purchasing power is enough, and they can't complete self-sufficiency through trade at all.

Through continuous exploration in the past few months, a lot of minerals have been discovered -- that's for sure, after all, there are so many big places -- but there are not many minerals that can be mined, have large reserves, and have high value, and as for the future rediscoveries, that is also a matter for the future, at least there is no guarantee now.

Perhaps in the future, with the development of navigation technology in various countries in the New World, the island and the southernmost corner of the continent across the strait will have extremely high strategic location and commercial value, but now it is meaningless.
