Chapter 280: Twenty Percent

"This method is to seal far branches, close branches and close seals, but no matter how it is divided, it will not be in the Central Plains."

Zhu Youyi asked: "What Your Majesty means is that if the King of Qin will seal these Americas and Australia, but the close branches of our clans are not divided in the Central Plains, where is the seal......?"

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "There are many places that have been sealed, such as Luzon, Wadao, ......"

The faces of several princes are not very good-looking.

Zhu You frowned and said: "Forgive the king of ministers and say bluntly, taking this Australia as an example, if hundreds of feudal kings are stationed in the country, with troops and people, I am afraid that after all the savages in Australia are kings, I am afraid that the story of the Zhou Dynasty will not be spared."

Zhu Houwei nodded, Zhu Youyi is really insightful, the meaning of this is obviously that the vassal states are fighting, after all, Australia is 108,000 miles away from the Central Plains, and it belongs to the absolute Tiangao Emperor, and the ruling system of the Ming Dynasty cannot reach such a far place at all.

After such a long time, friction will inevitably occur between feudal kings in order to grab population and land, which will lead to chaotic wars, and maybe a new Warring States era will be staged in Australia!

"Uncle Wang thinks how can we eliminate this problem?"

Zhu Youyi smiled and said: "The minister doesn't have any good ideas, but since His Majesty wants to rule here, then there must be a closer royal family, such as His Majesty's heir, to go to Australia to take root and rule the kings!"

Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "Uncle Wang's words are exactly what I want, this Australia is the place where I gave the imperial brother a temple!"

Brother Huang! Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao!

Zhu Houzhao's escape on the wedding night was no longer a secret in the eyes of important ministers and even many vassal kings, but the royal family announced that Emperor Zhengde was seriously ill, so Chan gave the throne to his younger brother for Emperor Jiajing.

But knowing it is one thing, saying it is another, this is related to the face of the royal family, it is taboo!

Now that Zhu Houwei has been on the throne for a year, the throne is stable, and no one mentions Zhengde anymore.

Of course, this disappearance is not death, but incognito.

It's just that although no one said it, there are still some curiosity, such as where did Zhu Houzhao go after he ran away?

How did Zhu Houwei settle his imperial brother?

Now Zhu Houwei has given the answer.

Let the Son of Zhengde rule Australia, then even if Australia is founded, it cannot be regarded as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but a completely independent brother dynasty.

And what about the Americas? And what about Canada?

There is no doubt that Zhu Houwei will definitely divide these places to his son.

The purpose of Jiajing Emperor was to establish several independent new dynasties overseas that were completely not under the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.

In this way, if there is a change in the Central Plains Dynasty, then the overseas dynasty can wave its troops to help, and if the overseas dynasty is unstable, the Central Plains Dynasty can also send troops to quell the rebellion!

Complement each other, complement each other, several dynasties are closely connected but do not belong to each other, unless the same period to the end, it is enough to ensure that the Ming Temple is not lost, it is really a good means!

It's not right, Zhu Youyi's brows furrowed again, brother dynasties are not nothing, for example, the descendants of Genghis Khan opened up the four khanates, and Kublai Khan echoed the four khanates after the establishment of the Great Yuan, but in the end, they turned against each other and fought against each other.

However, Zhu Youyi quickly put this absurd idea behind him, and the regime of the Mongol Tatars could not be compared with the Central Plains Dynasty.

What's more, the Yuan court and several khanates bordered each other, and there was a distinction between rich and barren in itself, so it was not surprising that a war broke out.

But the Central Plains Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is 1087 miles away from this Americas and Australia, what conflict of interest can there be?

Without contradictions, how can there be an attack?

Zhu Houwei returned to the throne and sat down, and several princes also looked away from the world map reluctantly.

Seeing Zhu Houwei return to the throne, several princes suddenly remembered that the business they had jointly come to today had not yet been discussed......

Obviously, Zhu Houwei also felt that it was time to talk about business, so he said: "Several princes came here to build a large iron factory and a shipyard, and they have already made up their minds?"

Zhu Youqi smiled: "That's true, we want to ask about this bidding ......"

"There's no need to be so troublesome...... Zhu Houwei said with a straight face: "It's all my own family, and the bidding is for outsiders, I will give you Uncle Wang a thorough explanation, the reason why I want to bid for construction is entirely because I don't have the right manpower."

Let the officials be responsible, it will inevitably be corrupt from it, let the eunuchs do this, I can't rest assured, so my own plan is to attract investment, but seeing that the clan has nothing to do, I will hand this matter over to the royal family, which is a test, and also a chance for the kings to prove their worth. ”

When several princes heard this, their bodies suddenly sat up a little straighter.

"In the people, whether the vassal kings are noble or noble, their reputation is not very good, I will give this opportunity to the kings, if the kings can do their work honestly, and even benefit the people, then I will be very pleased, if I only think about making money, regardless of the life and death of the people, and regardless of the quality of the ironworks and shipyards, then I will be very disappointed......"

"Your Majesty, what should you do with your majesty?" Zhu Youyi asked.

"It's very simple, I have the site selection and construction requirements of ten large iron factories here, and I will also equip each place with ten technicians, and you Uncle Wang only need to carry out the construction step by step according to the requirements of the technicians, of course, the recruitment of workers, the purchase of construction materials and other trivial matters are the responsibility of your Uncle Wang."

"Where's the silver?" Zhu Youqi asked a question that the prince was most concerned about.

Because all the kings have no bottom in their hearts, how much silver is needed to build an iron factory? What is the profit and so on.

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "I have roughly calculated that it will cost about 80 to 1 million taels of silver to build an iron factory and equip it with all the facilities, and as for the shipyard, it will need at least 1.5 million taels, and the profit will be 20%, which means that if the iron repair plant uses 1 million taels, then your uncles will get 1.2 million taels in the end, and these 200,000 taels are my remuneration to the builders."

The kings took a deep breath, it was really a lot of courage, so calculated, Zhu Houwei's hand was directly waved out of 145 million taels of silver, which was really wealthy.

"But one million taels, the king can't take it out at all......" Zhu Youqi was a little helpless.

"It's okay, you Uncle Wang can go to the money bank to take a loan, but the loan process should not be less, and the interest should be calculated how it should be calculated, I won't want it this time, but the more you borrow, the thinner your final profit will be......
