Li Hu sat on the chair and was uneasy, as if there were nails under his buttocks, and his whole body twisted like maggots.

Li Xiu and Li Hao stood aside, and Li Xiao didn't let the two of them come. But after the two of them received the news, they mixed in with dead faces, and then stayed and didn't leave. No one dared to pick up the two brothers, so they relied on it.

Li Xiao walked into the room and glanced at it.

When Li Hu saw his eldest brother coming in, he immediately stood up: "Eldest brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't talk back to you! ”

"It's out! I also know that it is wrong. Have a seat! The second and fourth sit, you all sit. Today, our brothers will talk about the third child. Li Xiao gestured to Li Xiu and Li Hao and motioned for them to sit down.

Li Hu was stunned for a moment, the brothers glanced at each other, and they all sat on the chairs. Li Hao swallowed nervously, not knowing what the eldest brother would do with the third brother.

"The third! You want to do something, I understand that. Everyone wants to do things, but it's not like you. Since you want to do something, then I'll give you something to do.

Sailing northwest of the city of Xinjiapo, there is a large island called Sri Lanka. Now the imperial court wants to attack there, but the two old foxes don't want to pay for the army. Things can only be done by our own family, of course, there is no input from the imperial court, and the output naturally does not have the affairs of the imperial court.

I'll give you the island to toss when I'm ready. Li Xiao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a match.

"Big brother, that island is in Wu Sangui's hands. And Sri Lanka is very close to India, the third ......! Li Xiu was taken aback when he heard Li Xiao's plan.

Sri Lanka is so close to India that the nearest place can be reached by a small wooden boat. For a long time, there has been a fort built by Wu Sangui here. There are heavy troops stationed on the island, and it is not easy to take.

The imperial court said that without military spending, it would be impossible to use the imperial army. His own marines, one to defend the port of Xinjiapo, and the other to go deep into Australia to eliminate the British and restless natives there. He simply didn't have the strength to help Li Hu complete the feat of seizing Sri Lanka.

"I've already discussed with Mori Hidemoto and Tokugawa Katsuyori, and they will send 10,000 people. In addition, Cochin can also recruit 10,000 people. The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, is willing to give 5,000 people! Combined, you have an army of twenty-five thousand men.

These people need to be trained by yourself, and I will equip you with weapons and equipment. In addition to the Makqin and howitzers, I will match you. However, these weapons are on credit, and you will need to pay them back in the future with Sri Lankan products.

After all, the arsenal belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the accounts outside the home still have to be calculated clearly. Li Xiao said while smoking.

Li Hu was stunned, and he didn't understand what was going on. Li Xiu understood that this was equivalent to splitting up the family and giving Li Hu an industry so that Li Hu could start his own business. The imperial court will not pay this money, and it can only be Zhang Luo by Li Hu himself.

There is nothing incomprehensible about this, even if the emperor wants money. It can only be used with large domestic money, and it is very difficult for the Ministry of Moving Households to make money.

"I want Makqin!" Li Hu was bargaining angrily.

"Makqin can't give it to you, not howitzers. You will be given up to 800 Acre 47 rifles, the latest of which can be fired in bursts. Li Xiao drew his own bottom line without reservation.

Li Hu's eyes were gurgling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"As for attacking Sri Lanka, you need your second brother's help. He has a ship in his hand, and the warship is under his control. But after all, Sri Lanka fought down. The income belongs to our Li family, so I won't mix it. You need to give dividends to the second and fourth children every year, and if Xiaoyu marries in the future, you need to add a large dowry. ”

"This is not said, the output on this island will definitely have the share of the second brother and the fourth brother. When Xiaoyu gets married, I will definitely pay a large dowry. Li Hu immediately patted his chest and agreed.

"That island is undeveloped and there are all kinds of minerals there. Titanium, zircon, mica, and graphite are all superior. In addition, the finest rubies and sapphires are produced there. Boy, that island is rich. "Fools have foolish blessings, and Sri Lanka has not yet developed them in these years. Many people step on some gems sporadically, but they don't know that the island is rich in gemstone deposits.

With this island, Li Hu will definitely not worry about money in the future.

Such a big industry, of course, there must be a share of Li Xiu and Li Hao brothers. It's not that Li Xiao is harsh, because he also has a share of Li Xiu, Li Hao and Li Hu in his industry. The Li family's business is the Li family's, although Li Xiao wants to give Xiaoyu a share, but the powerful feudal etiquette is not something that Li Xiao can break through. A girl is a girl, and she can give a dowry but never inherit the family property.

The inertia of more than 2,000 years has great power, and Li Xiao does not dare to overthrow it rashly.

"What about the ammunition?" Li Hu suddenly remembered another important question. In Egypt, he had enough of the lack of ammunition. He didn't want to worry about ammunition when he defended Sri Lanka in the future.

"On credit!" Li Xiao was also helpless, when he beat the world with his bare ass, he didn't have so much help.

When he fled in Liaoyang, Li Xiao didn't even know if he could see the sun tomorrow. Who would have thought that there are more than 20,000 people in the army who started a business for Li Hu today. The weapons are automatic firearms, and even rocket launchers and mortars. Compared with Li Xiao's back then, it is really a heaven and an underground.

Sometimes Li Xiao himself is wondering how he started it all these years. It seems that he ran out of Liaoyang City, and the poor are left with this clothes.

Li Humei smiled and left, looking for his subordinates. was ready to take over the Japanese soldiers, as well as the Jiaozhi soldiers, the Korean soldiers, and even Li Xiao, who was going to help him find a place to train the soldiers.

Hainan Island!

There, Li Xiao could train these soldiers on how to land on the beach and how to use the weapons in their hands to fight. Fighting a war is a science, and it cannot be fooled by being frisky and lightly.

Sending untrained soldiers to the battlefield is actually a matter of disregard for human life. It doesn't matter if these people are Wa people, Koreans, or Jiaozhi people.

Unconsciously, Li Xiao found that he already had 100,000 Japanese soldiers under his command, and they were all the elite of the Japanese soldiers. There is no such thing as fighting, and these Japanese soldiers are quite disciplined. Let you do whatever you want, it is not short to buy vegetables on weekdays, and the people pay a penny. The law-abiding mess made Li Xiao a little confused.

In memory, dirty, indecent, mean, shameless, greedy, too ...... Almost all negative words can be put on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and as the ancestors of the devils, they are eligible for this treatment.

But what happened in front of him was seriously inconsistent with Li Xiao's memory.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao could only think of one reason.

Powerful!

The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the East, if not the world. The country is thriving, and the army is invincible. In the Far East, no country dares to wield the tiger's whiskers of the Ming Dynasty. Even, the mountain-like Ming made all the surrounding countries breathless.

It is precisely because of the Ming Dynasty that the Wa Kingdom was divided. The Tokugawa family and the Maori family didn't like each other, but neither dared to do anything. Because as long as one side does it, it will be considered a breach of the peace agreement. I will definitely be beaten by Daming!

Jiaozhi was also divided, and the two sons of King Ruan of Jiaozhi carried out selfless tearing on the Indochina Peninsula. In order to buy ammunition from the Ming Dynasty, the rice crops three times a year in Jiaozhi, and there was a terrible famine. These two princes, His Royal Highness, sold all the rice to the Daming chicken farmers. All the money obtained was used to buy long guns and short cannons, which were constantly bombarded in the tropical jungle.

As for Tibet, Gesar already had confidence with the support of the Ming Dynasty. is constantly fighting with those lamas in the Potala Palace, and both sides have been killed and wounded. It is said that after each major battle, vultures that eat corpses fill the sky.

The only one who lives very nourishing and peaceful is Goryeo on the peninsula.

Li Liang, the king of Goryeo, went to Li Xiao for three days to give gifts. A guy of his age, he insists on being a junior. The letter to Li Xiao is called humility. If you want to listen to the instructions of the marshal often, and ask the marshal for instructions in time if you have something, and even say that the Ming Dynasty is the mother state of North Korea, then Li Xiao is the wife of all the Korean people.

In the face of such sensual words, Li Xiao couldn't cry or laugh. Lao Tzu is a big man, and he was stunned to make you write a big old lady.

not only sent things to Li Xiao, but also was unambiguous about the trade of the Ming Dynasty. Export products include, iron ore, timber, copper ore, rice, Korean red ginseng, beautiful Korean beauties...... Wait, wait, wait......!

The nobility of North Korea spared no effort in selling their own resources. Because they love the exquisite handicrafts of Daming, as well as a variety of industrial manufactured products. In North Korea, if you can have a bicycle as a dowry when you get married, it is quite a face-saving thing. When you arrive at your in-law's house, you will also be looked down upon.

When the Korean nobles got married, three turns and one mirror have become the standard. The three turns are a bicycle, a sewing machine, a large grandfather clock, and a mirror refers to a large dressing mirror. Whoever is married and doesn't have this kind of support is embarrassed to tell others that he is a nobleman.

Relatives and friends will also dislike this family in every way, and in order to buy these few things, I don't know how many wealthy North Korean families have emptied their families. These things are not something that ordinary people can afford in Daming.

Koreans worship the Ming Dynasty extremely and think that the things of the Ming Dynasty are good things.

Anyway, everything from the Ming Dynasty represents the advanced and trendy. No one doubts the high-end nature of Daming's products, and even the spring palace pictures produced by Daming are better than those drawn by North Korea.

This kind of North Korea is what Li Xiao likes to see, and he has become a pug, and it is nothing to reward him with a mouthful of food. Anyway, North Korea doesn't have any army.

The number of North Korean troops reported by Li Yongfang last time was almost shocking to Li Xiao's jaw. The huge North Korea actually has only 3,000 regular troops. Of these 3,000 people, 2,000 were still the guards of the Joseon king Yi Liang.

The remaining thousand, dismantling the large cities stationed in North Korea.

After asking three times, Li Yongfang said that there was no mistake. Yi Liang did not worry about foreign invasion, he only worried about the rebellion of the Korean aristocracy. As a result, he spared no effort in the matter of disarmament, and basically all the armies were dismantled, and his guards became the largest armed group in the whole of Korea.

For a DPRK that does not pose the slightest threat, Li Xiao is still tolerant. Among the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, Korea was the only country that did not have territorial disputes, and the atmosphere of the whole country was harmonious.

Before you know it, time flies.

Li Xiu and Li Hu left together, and tens of thousands of people were stationed in Hainan for training, which required a lot of things. The navy has a base in Hainan, and Li Xiu can provide the necessary help.

Li Hao did not return to the Western Regions, but went straight to Guanzhong. He wants to get a railway in and out of Shudi!

Since ancient times, it was difficult for Shu to go to the blue sky, and Bashu was rich in grain and various materials, but it could not be effectively transported out and exchanged effectively with other places in the Ming Dynasty. Without exchange, there would be no economic development, and at the same time, the central government's control over the land of Bashu would also weaken.

Now that Daming has a railway and a train, Sichuan can't be allowed to go on like this. Only the full circulation of personnel and materials can make Sichuan and Daming more closely integrated.

With a mission and rights, Li Hao went to Bashu.

Sun Chengzong admired Li Hao very much and thought that this child would be promising in the future. dragged Li Xiao hard and married his most beloved granddaughter to Li Hao.

For this kind of thing, Li Xiao is happy to see it come to fruition. As long as the two of them are optimistic about each other, Li Xiao will not have any opinions. Just when Li Hao was leaving, under the arrangement of Tokugawa Chihime, the two had a long-distance blind date.

It is said that Li Hao was dressed very hotly that day, and the whole process was a mess. In the distance, he also read a few lines of poetry to the girl. I don't know from which pedant stole it from!

Tokugawa Chihime said that the girl was also very satisfied with Li Hao.

When Li Xiao asked Li Hao's opinion, it was rare for this kid to blush. There is a posture of drilling his head into the crotch of his pants, and he has a smile on his face, but he still wants to hold it. The result is a bad stool!

If it weren't for the report from Shuzhong's subordinates, there was a place where oil fields seemed to have been discovered, and Li Hao would have to wait until he was married.

Several younger brothers have homes to shelter from the wind and rain, which makes Li Xiao feel very gratified. In my previous life, I was an only child, and I didn't feel this way at all. Now that I am a big brother, I know that it is really not easy to be the boss.

Seeing Xiaoyu pulling Li Lin all day long and running around the yard with Li Lin, Li Xiao felt a headache.

Since Xiaoyu's incident, Xiaoyu has stopped caring with Li Xiao for a while. It wasn't until Li Xiao was seriously ill and almost died that he came to the capital to see Li Xiao after releasing his previous suspicions.

Now Xiaoyu lives in Li Xiao's back house, and pulls Li Lin to play when she is idle all day long. Tokugawa Chihime arranged for a young man with an innocent family background to come to the house several times, and said that he was a gentleman invited by Li Lin.

Xiao Yu didn't care about these gentlemen at all, as if these beautiful men walking in front of her were transparent. There was a guy who didn't have long eyes, but he just looked at Xiao Yu for a while, and Xiao Yu rushed over and slapped him in the mouth.

Since then, the prestige of Aunt Li Xiao's grandmother has fallen, and no matter how Tokugawa Chihime mobilizes, no one dares to marry this dominatrix.
