Li Xiu is back!

has been wandering overseas for too long, and the people in Li Xiu's mansion in the capital don't even recognize this master's family.

The Zheng family has now become a real lady, and the door is not out of the door. He no longer has the prestige of being in Cairo, and he lives a life of self-imprisonment all day long.

She also knew in her heart that if it weren't for Li Xiu, she had no intention of divorcing his wife. The hostess of this luxurious and sprawling mansion has long since changed!

The ladies of more than one family are staring at the throne of the Navy Commander's Wife.

For the Zheng family, Li Xiu still has feelings.

After all, the two had three children, and now the children are all older. I can't let the children go home, but I can't find my mother.

Li Xiu came back, and Li Xiao and Li Hao naturally came.

On weekdays, they don't even open the door.

"Second brother, your mansion is getting more and more exquisite. These Taihu stones are not ordinary at first glance, they are much better than those in my house. ”

"I don't have time for this! I haven't been back to this house for four years.

Zheng made all of this, and she didn't know where to hire a Jiangnan gardener. I don't feel anything about this thing!

I've been floating at sea for too long, and now I feel like I'm swaying in bed. Li Xiu accompanied his brother and younger brother in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Sister-in-law actually has such a talent, it just so happens that we are going to build a park in the capital. Let the sister-in-law contribute talents and build a park for our people in Beijing. Li Hao suddenly remembered that Shuntianfu was going to build a park in the capital.

"The funds of Shuntian Mansion are so abundant, and they actually have the money to repair the garden?" Li Xiu looked at Li Hao in surprise.

"With such a big capital, people also need a place for daily leisure.

Besides, when outsiders come, they can't all look at reinforced concrete. The location has been chosen, and it is on the side of Shijingshan.

There is also a wild lake, which can be used as an ice rink in winter. I went there once a few years ago and the view was not bad.

In spring and autumn, wild ducks can still be seen. Li Xiao reached out and flicked the grapes on the grape shelf.

This thing was introduced from the Western Regions, and it looked green, as if it was called mare's milk grapes.

However, these grapes look a little smaller now, and it is estimated that they are not yet ripe.

The brother was under the grape trellis, and a small square table was set up. Get a few plates of delicate side dishes, open a bottle of Moutai and start drinking.

"When I came back this time, I stayed at home. You are the commander of the Navy, not the commander of the Navy of the Mediterranean.

Telegraph relay stations in the Middle East and India have expanded considerably, and their capacity to handle telegrams on a daily basis has increased considerably.

From now on, you will be in the capital, commanding your global navy. Don't always drift on the sea one day, and when you get old, you will fall into gout, rheumatism and other diseases. "Li Xiao gave the two brothers a full load.

For family dinners, the atmosphere is casual.

There's no need to make a toast or anything, brother, it's useless to play with those empty things.

"Okay! Listen to the eldest brother, and stay in the capital from now on.

By the time I left, it had already been set up on the Mediterranean side.

On the northern front there was the Baltic Fleet, stationed in Oslo, Norway. The naval base is being built there!

The Norwegians were very generous and gave a lot of land.

On the southern front, in Lisbon, Portugal, a naval base was also built. For the time being, it's called the Atlantic Naval Fleet!

The naval base there has been under construction for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than half a year.

When it is finished, it will not be a problem for the aircraft carrier to be parked in the harbor.

The main forces of the Mediterranean Fleet are anchored in Sicily and Crete!

The port of Crete is the best, after all, it has been repaired for many years. There is not much difference between the land and the Ming Dynasty now, as long as they land on the island, they are all Ming people.

Saying.. Edition. 】

Foreigners can't see any of them!

The soldiers on leave, wanting to have fun, took airships to Athens.

Right now, Athens is most prosperous in the entertainment industry. Damn, it's even more lively than Xinjiapo.

Europe now has the German Navy, but their ships can't even get out of the port of Hamburg.

Other countries, at all, have no plans to develop their navy. ”

"Humph! The development of the navy is not just done with technology, and it will have to be thrown into it with mountains of gold and silver.

No money, what to play Navy.

The note you handed over has been approved by the Ministry of War. Build five more aircraft carriers!

In this way, the number of aircraft carriers of our Ming Dynasty will be able to reach nine.

Three ships are on duty, three are training at sea, and three are in the harbor for maintenance. In this way, it can ensure deterrence in the outside world for a long time, and also continuously train crews and pilots.

And ah! In the future, the eyes of your navy should not only be on Europe, but also on the Americas!

Sun Zhijie and his men took a foothold in a place called Panama, which was stuck halfway between South and North America.

Just dig a canal in that place to connect the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

The status is comparable to the canal of Su Yinshi.

Sun Zhijie is doing this, and your navy must fully support it. In the Americas, we are much less powerful than those Europeans.

There is no way around it, he came to America more than 100 years before us.

The understanding and infrastructure of the Americas is also much better than ours. ”

"There are a lot of old aristocrats in Europe, all of whom have gone to the Americas.

There are all over the world, and there are those that have roots in Rio de Janeiro. There was the British successor to the king who had taken root in Buenos Aires, and he stayed in the British North American territory.

He called that place Canada!

I don't know why it was called such a strange name, but anyway, I heard that place is not bad.

What a pity!

The place is too big, and we can't occupy it all. Only a small area can be occupied, and we will talk about it later. Li Xiu took a sip of wine.

The Ming Navy under his command is proud of the world, and only the other half of the Ming Navy can defeat half of the Ming Navy in the world.

In terms of sea power, the Ming Dynasty has an absolute advantage.

Among the countries of the Americas, only the United States has a few steam destroyers. In terms of tonnage and speed, it is not comparable with the destroyers of the Ming Navy.

"America, you have to keep an eye on it.

That part of New York is growing fast, and I heard that the population is over half a million. Overseas is not as bright as us!

In our Daming, 500,000 people are a county.

But overseas, a big city with 500,000 people is already remarkable. Especially in the Americas, this is how it goes. New York is going to be a big port.

At the same time, it will also be a hub for trade in the United States.

We got information that the United States was also overhauling the railroad. A canal will also be built to connect the interior to New York. ”

"I know a little bit about this!

The development of the United States has to be said to be our European war. The European war has turned Europe into a pot of porridge, and those who have some ability have run out.

Before the war, however, Ireland's potato harvest was lost. It also caused many Irish to flee to the United States, and it is said that more than two million people fled.

Combined with the number of people from European countries who came to the United States to make a living, the total population of the United States is now almost seven or eight million.

One or two large cities with a population of 500,000 is not a big deal. Give them another hundred years, and it will be impossible to oppose our Ming Dynasty. "Li Xiu was very contemptuous of the United States.

"The United States cannot be taken lightly!

On the American continent, eight or nine million people are already large countries. Moreover, they have been expanding westward all the time.

Along the way, Indians will be killed whenever they see them.

It is said that they also offered a reward for the purchase of the scalps of the Indians. Grandma's, it's ruthless! ”

"It's nothing, let's send someone to occupy a place.

Anyway, whoever persuades the current staking there.

I don't believe it, the Americans have a few heads and dare to fight with us. ”

"Huh! We still don't have enough people!

It is a huge territory, with only 400 million people.

Divide some of the population to the overseas territories, and some of the population to the Western Regions. In this way, I found that 400 million people are not enough.

Germany is now basically finished, and Ai Hu is a whole trick. They can't slow down for ten years!

Ai Husheng said that when they accumulate their family funds, we can do it again in ten years.

Therefore, in the future, our main task is to look at the country. Do a good job in people's livelihood, so that the people can live a good life.

Now, our Ming Dynasty is also sparsely populated.

It's like places like Hazawa and Lankao, where there are always floods.

Then simply abandon this place.

Move all the people out and go to the land where the water is rich and the grass is abundant. It's better than the grain is always soaked in the Yellow River water!

In 20 years, our population has increased by 80%. In another twenty years, we will strive to increase the population of Daming by half.

Come on, come on, cheers! Hehehe! ”
