"Big brother, you just hand over the Western Regions to me, and I will definitely make it good for you." As a brother, Li Hu felt that he should have greater power, not just to be a bully on the broken island of Ceylon.

That's the two sides of technology, and since the advent of radio, a lot of secrets aren't secrets. In the past, it would take at least a month and a half for the news of Zu Dashou's accident to reach a place as far away as Ceylon.

Compared with the Chongzhen era, this is already unimaginable efficiency.

But it only took a day for the radio wave to spread the news to the Middle East.

Li Hu felt that this was an opportunity, and immediately flew back to Beijing in the fastest airship regardless of the danger.

"Don't worry about the affairs of the Fourth Division, take care of your Ceylon Island. By the way, there is a place called Diego Garcia in the south of Ceylon for you to occupy, and you have not occupied. Li Xiao's words made Li Hu's sins these days go up in smoke.

"Diego Garcia? I inquired, and it was a small island with only a few natives, and there was no ......! ”

"Haven't sent anyone to occupy it yet? The geographical location of that island is very important, and your second brother is going to build a military port there. Go back now, and the labourers will go out in your island of Ceylon. As for the cost, the court will pay half of it, and you can ask your second brother to raise the other half.

The agricultural tax is being abolished in the country, and the finances are somewhat tight. ”

"What's so difficult about getting a few savages as laborers. As long as they are fed, they will obediently follow to work. Big brother, I said that the affairs of the Western Regions ......! ”

"As I said, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Western Regions. The Ming Dynasty needs long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions, not for you to go to the scourge. There is such an island in Ceylon, you have managed the starvation everywhere, and the Western Regions need to be operated for thousands of miles, how do you manage it.

Like now? What a good island of Ceylon, such a rich place, you have come out of famine. ”

"Big brother, I'm ......!"

"What's that! Ceylon also has a population of one million and is a transit point for trade in the Indian Ocean. How many cargo ships need to be replenished with water on the island of Ceylon.

A good place for three crops a year, you can actually get out of famine. What do you do when you go to the Western Regions? How much grain does the court have to fill it in!

Forget it! Zu Dashou's ability is a hundred times that of you, and he died in the Western Regions, I don't want the tiger girl to come to me and ask for my father. "Li Xiao really hates iron and steel.

has three younger brothers and one sister, and the most unpromising is actually Li Hu.

When I was a child, I was relatively honest, but now it's good, and I can't do anything well. I still want to do everything all day long, and I don't have enough money for people to worry about.

"Big brother, we are brothers. Since I was a child, I have followed you in the army, and led troops to North Korea to fight the Tartar soldiers. led the troops into the capital, and was almost killed by Shuntianfu.

In Gansu, I was almost blown apart by a Mongol shell. Look at it, look at it, this scar is not fake.

The second child has a big ability, and I can't compare or compare. But the fourth kid, who was a year younger than me, actually entered the cabinet. I just want a barren Western Regions, what's wrong?

Liu Bang became the emperor and gave his brothers the title of king, I want a bird that doesn't in the Western Regions, what's wrong? Why can't you just bite one by one?

Big brother, we can't be so obvious. are all princes who dominate one side, so I have such a broken island? Why? Why?

Ever since I was discharged from the hospital, you've been looking at me unpleasantly. ”

"Wow," the roaring Li Hu threw out the fruit bowl on the coffee table.

"Bang!" The door was slammed open, and Junko rushed in with a few guards carrying guns.

"Come on! Hit this, hit this. Li Hu tore open his shirt and looked at the guards with his chest full of scars.

Junko stood awkwardly at the door, neither going in nor going out. But I finally got the guards to put down their guns!

"Get out! Get out! Li Xiao waved his hand irritably.

"The third! The Western Regions and Ceylon are not the same. ”

"What's the difference, you haven't been holding back to kill all the Mongols and the Weigurs, if it's not my race, their hearts will be different, what you said." Li Hu really roared like a tiger.

"Shut up! What do you know? Who told you to talk to me like that, get out! Li Xiao was so angry that he jumped violently.

"What! I want those people in the Supervision Yuan to arrest me! Catch! Catch! Let them arrest your own brother and show how you treat your own brother. ”

"Someone!" Li Xiao burst into applause, and more than a dozen guards appeared at the door again, but this time they didn't hold guns.

"Catch me! Catch me! ”

"Hold on!"

"Don't charge, I'll go by myself. Big brother, brother is waiting for you to kill. Li Hu, who was furious, looked at Li Xiao viciously.

"Hold on!"

"No!"

Several guards dragged Li Hu down, and Li Xiao was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

Sitting behind the desk, it took a while to calm down, and a pair of white hands brought a cup of tea.

"Daddy, don't be angry with the third uncle, drink tea!" Li Lin held the teacup in both hands, his big eyes blinking,

"Hey......!" Stroking his son's head, Li Xiao sighed deeply.

Among the younger brothers, Li Hu's temper was the most tyrannical. When he followed Mao Wenlong to learn knowledge, this kid was also the one who was the lazy the most.

If you don't learn or have no skills, it can be regarded as tailor-made for Li Hu. But on the contrary, it is not fast to learn others, but it is very fast to learn eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and smoking.

also has the face to say that the affairs of Shuntianfu back then, if he hadn't caused trouble in Shuntianfu, Lao Tzu would have robbed the Shuntianfu prison with soldiers?

"Good! Daddy didn't get angry with your third uncle. Li Xiao touched Li Lin's head.

I don't know why, as long as the father touches his son's head, the son will usually raise his head, squint at his father at a 45-degree angle, and smirk like an idiot.

"Daddy lied, I'm not a three-year-old. I'm eleven years old! Li Lin gave his father a big roll of the eyes, as a punishment for his father to fool him.

Li Xiao found out that his son seemed to have really grown up unconsciously, but the problem was that ......, his son didn't grow much.

I don't know what's wrong, Li Lin is not very tall.

Although he is not a big man in the Northeast, he still has a height of 1.7 meters. But Li Lin doesn't seem to be able to grow his father's size at present.

"Alright! Your third uncle didn't study well, and many people starved to death in Ceylon. Now your third uncle wants to go to the Western Regions again, and Daddy is angry with him! ”

"The third uncle should not do this, Ceylon Island is located on the sea route, although the people there are not of my Han family and Miao descent, but they are in the main transportation route, and it is an important place for my Ming to control the Indian Ocean. Therefore, we Ming people must implement benevolent government there and win people's expectations.

The Western Regions are different, remote and vast. The Ming Dynasty occupied the Western Regions in order to expand the border of our Ming Dynasty outward by 5,000 miles. If there is a strong enemy in the north, we will win a buffer zone of 5,000 miles for our Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, stability is the main thing here, so my father will kill in the Western Regions, for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions. ”

"Huh!" Li Xiao looked at his son in surprise, it was obvious that this little guy hadn't grown in the past two years, but he didn't have a lot of eyes.

"Who taught you this?" Li Xiao felt that an eleven-year-old child did not have such far-reaching political vision.

"My mother taught me, she said that as long as you say this, you will forget about the third uncle for a while."

“……！” It looks like the stupid son's heart and eyes still need to be enriched.

"That's it! Let's play, Daddy won't be angry with the third uncle anymore. Li Xiao reluctantly patted his son's shoulder and motioned for his son to go out.

Li Lin walked for a while, and Zhang Huangyan came. He came to Li Xiao to talk about Jiangnan! However, when he entered the door, he was told about Li Hu by Junzi.

After hesitation, Zhang Huangyan still came in.

"Dashuai!"

"Shousuke-sama is here, sit down! I want to talk about Jiangnan! Li Xiao spoke a little weakly.

"The affairs of Jiangnan can be put aside, and the old man can come back another day."

"That's what you want to talk about?"

"Uh......!" Zhang Huang stopped talking.

"If it weren't for Huzi's business, you would have turned around and left, and you wouldn't have stepped into this office for half a step. Now at this juncture, even Ao Ye is reluctant to wade into this pool. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, very worried about Li Hu's affairs.

It just so happened that the old fox came and asked the old fox what good ideas he had.

"Will the marshal let Huzi return to Ceylon?" Zhang Huangyan looked at Li Xiao and asked.

"Forget it, Ceylon needs to be well managed. It was a base for containing India, and it was also a sea route, and it would make the local people disgusted with us.

For a long time, it will be very detrimental to our domination of the Indian Ocean. It would be better to send a reliable official to Ceylon. Don't go to harm people!

Actually, if the Western Regions weren't so dangerous, I really wanted him to go to the Western Regions for some training. Unfortunately, no! He was too impulsive, and he was sent for fear of causing a large number of casualties among his troops.

If that's the case, I'm sorry for the Liao army brothers! Li Xiao reluctantly took out a cigar and handed it to Zhang Huangyan, but Zhang Huangyan refused. This old guy is a die-hard fan of Huazi, and he still likes to smoke Huazi to this day.

"It's good that the big marshal can think like this, but how are you going to place this tiger master? You can't just keep it closed! Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard and looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

I hate these old guys who have become fine, and they don't show off their demeanor as if they can die.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"It doesn't mean anything else, Master Tiger can't stay in the country. As you know, the country is now suffering from maladministration. It's exactly the process that needs to be cleaned up slowly!

Brother Hao did a good job in Jiangnan, Yang Sichang didn't want to do it, and he didn't have the courage to do it, he did it all. The demobilized officers you sent, as well as the young students, redistribute the land to households.

This allowed every family to have land, and they no longer had to be exploited by those big landlords. This year, the agricultural tax was abolished, and the whole of Jiangnan is presenting your benevolent government.

Although in the process, the methods were a little more vicious, caught the wrong people, and killed the wrong people. can not hide the flaws, Brother Hao did a good job.

In the next step, we will do it in Liaodong, Shandong and Hebei. Corruption is now rampant in these places, and officials are playing with privileges to prey on the common people. There are some things that the old man is shocked to watch.

If we don't rectify it, the foundation of our Ming Dynasty will be damaged on this. ”

"What does this have to do with Huzi staying in the country." Li Xiao frowned.

"The tiger master stays in the country, and it is very likely that he will cling to the tiger master. He is your younger brother, and he has an old ministry and a robe in Liaodong. Relationships are intertwined, and if you stay in the country, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives.

When the time comes, you will throw a mouse bogey, the tiger master really has something, are you killing? Or is it a guarantee?

Kill! Can't get over the level of brotherhood, protect! If your brother can be insured, can someone else's brother and nephew also be insured?

In that case, how can we get it in Liaodong? ”

"Uh......!" Li Xiao had nothing to say, he really didn't expect this. Li Hu is in Liaodong, and the relationship network is indeed intertwined. Far away in Ceylon, he couldn't touch these things, and those people couldn't reach them if they wanted to.

But if it's in China, it's even if it's in Beijing. These people will also come to Beijing to have a relationship with Li Hupan, and with Li Hu's character, there is a chance that they will be dragged into the water by others. At that time, the anti-corruption will definitely touch Li Hu, and the problem will be much more serious than it is now.

"Then let him go back to Ceylon!" Li Xiao has no choice, he can't really lock Li Hu up like this. Brother Xiao Wall, it's not good to hear this word go out.

"I'm afraid not on the island of Ceylon, as you just said. The place on Ceylon Island needs to be operated, and the tiger master operates there, with such convenient conditions, there is no output and even the court needs to subsidize money and grain.

It's definitely not a no-go! The foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty is mainly based on plundering and dumping, how can it be upside down overseas. When the news gets out, and the governors overseas are doing it, we will soon have problems with our finances. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say?" The proposal was vetoed by Zhang Huangyan in a row, and Li Xiao became a little irritable and took a few big puffs of cigars.

"Old man, let's see, do you want to let the tiger master go to Australia."

"Australia?" Li Xiao frowned.

"Since the Marines seized Australia, in fact, our Ming Dynasty has been implementing a plundering policy there. No one cares if the people there are well fed or not, whether they are warm.

Daming needed Australia's iron ore and coal, as well as all kinds of mineral deposits. But Australians are not needed! Now the British settlers left there are almost exhausted, and the native Australian savages are almost dead.

Every year, we have to get a lot of people from Africa and India.

For such a place, plunder is the theme. Tiger Master is very suitable for such a place, and ...... Australia is also big enough, compared to Australia, we look at the vast Western Regions is a small bathtub.

I think this place is very suitable for the tiger master, you say? ”

"It's really suitable for Huzi, but ...... Will he agree? Li Xiao's eyes rolled, and he immediately showed eight teeth, and said to Zhang Huangyan with a smile: "Mr. Lao, persuade Huzi to go to Australia." After speaking, he also arched his hand to Zhang Huangyan.
