The imperial city of Yingtianfu in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty, has now become a big construction site.

In addition to the small palace where the republican emperor Zhu Cijiong lived, the other dilapidated buildings like ruins have all been demolished, and the building materials that can be used have been piled up into dozens of "small mountain bags". The land has been leveled and cleared after the demolition of the building, and a camp has been set up for tens of thousands of artisans. When Li Yat-sen arrived in the imperial city, the workers hired from Anhui had just finished their day's work and were devouring dinner, and the aroma of rice and broth could be smelled from afar.

After being the emperor for more than ten years, Zhu Cijiong, the "son of the republic", finally waited for an opportunity to build a palace!

However, this opportunity to build a large number of buildings is not because Emperor Zhu has increased his salary, he is still an emperor with a "daily settlement of 300" and an annual income of 100,000 yuan. Even if he still has a lot of extra money, such as paid "Royal Reviews" and the sale of "Royal Naming Rights", etc., this extra money is still not enough for Emperor Zhu to save up the capital to rebuild the Imperial City of Nanjing.

What really allowed Emperor Zhu to live in a new house in his lifetime was the continuous rise in the price of real estate in Nanjing in the past ten years, because the continuous rise in land prices made the land originally located in the center of Nanjing city and occupied by the Yamen of the General's Mansion, Shangshu Province, the National People's Council, the Yushitai, the Ministry of Shangshu Province, and the Eunuchs of the General's Mansion have a fairly high development value.

At the same time, as Nanjing's economy became more and more prosperous, the world's largest city finally encountered the problem of land shortage in the city center.

And Li Zhongshan is familiar with this land finance matter!

Therefore, after Li Zhongshan returned to the school, he and Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua worked together to carry out a "relocation of the yamen in the center of Nanjing City and the renovation project of the imperial city of Nanjing", that is, the yamen in the center of Nanjing that occupied a large area were "demolished", and then the land occupied by these yamen was sold.

Of course, the renovation of the imperial city must have preceded the demolition of the yamen in Nanjing, so the project will be completed, and financial support is indispensable.

According to General Li's plan, the renovated imperial city will have a new Forbidden City, excluding the buildings of the previous dynasties, for the enjoyment of the Great Emperor, his harem and his children, as well as a series of yamen, synagogues, halls, barracks, and a large commercial area. The yamen, which were originally scattered in the center of Nanjing, will be relocated to the imperial city.

In addition, the walls of the Imperial City will be partially demolished, and several new gates will be opened on the walls of the inner city of Nanjing, close to the Imperial City, to facilitate traffic between the Imperial City and the outer cities in the east and south. The development of Nanjing's eastern and outer cities will also begin after the completion of the Nanjing Imperial City Renovation Project.

Among them, the land east of the Imperial City and south of the Purple Mountain, which originally belonged to Xiaolingwei, will become a luxury residential area in Nanjing, where the princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty will be allocated a piece of residential land to build their own mansions.

When the mansions of these princes and nobles are built, the area around Xiaolingwei will naturally be noble. In addition, Xiaolingwei is very close to the imperial city of Nanjing, the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty, and not far from the Qinhuai River, the most prosperous city in Nanjing

In addition, the area east and south of Xiaolingwei and Xiaolingwei will also become the mansions of the monarchs and magnates of the vassal states under the command of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty in the future - the princes, princesses and children of the magnates of the vassal states will still receive feudalism and republicanism education in the Ming Dynasty in the future!

In case they can't handle it in the domain, they can also run back to Nanjing to become a rich man.

In this way, the royal magnates of the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states will be firmly bound!

And those princes and uncles of the Ming Dynasty can also rest assured that they can send their children to vassal states to serve as princes.

"Minister Li Yat-sen respectfully invites the emperor to Sheng'an."

"Minister Yao Qisheng respectfully invites the emperor to be sainte."

Outside the main hall of the small palace, Li Zhongshan and Yao Qisheng bowed to Emperor Zhu who heard the news, and Emperor Zhu was accompanied by Shangshu Zuocheng Chen Yonghua and Zheng Jing, the leader of the council - they were the actual operators of the "Nanjing City Center Yamen Relocation and Nanjing Imperial City Renovation Project", and they would be invited by Emperor Zhu to ask questions every three or five days.

After Li Zhongshan and Yao Qisheng finished their salutes, Emperor Zhu smiled and beckoned to them: "Shikai, Xizhi, you have come just in time, Xianzhi and Fufu are also there. Let's discuss the construction of the new palace together! It's better to hurry up with this project. By the way, dinner is ready, let's talk while we eat! ”

As he spoke, Emperor Zhu politely greeted Li Zhongshan, Yao Qisheng, Zheng Jing, and Chen Yonghua into the main hall together.

Emperor Zhu asked the palace maid who was waiting to add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and then pulled General Li into the table, and let Li Zhongshan and Zheng Jing sit on his left and right respectively - such a harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers, it seems that the one in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum will probably have to pick a thumb and say "good".

This republican emperor is probably one of the few (perhaps the only) emperors in China who are not worried about usurping the throne since China had its own emperor!

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received news from Chang Ning, Prince Gong of the Qing Kingdom, who is on the run." Li Zhongshan was not interested in discussing the matter of building a house with Emperor Zhu (he discussed it every time he met, and he was annoyed), so after a few words of greeting, he directly took out Jia Guozhu's report and handed it to Emperor Zhu.

"Is this Jia Liu's report?" Emperor Zhu took the report and glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I went to Europe, where did I take refuge?" English or Dutchland? ”

"Neither," said Li Yat-sen, "he went to Constantinople." ”

"How did Constantinople go to the Ottoman Empire?" Emperor Zhu was stunned, "Isn't the Ottoman Empire quite close to us?" ”

"He didn't go to the Ottoman Empire, but took Fuquan's Rakshasa braided army to cross the Black Sea in white clothes and attack Junbao City! That Ottoman Sultan Mehmed IV was made to be 'Muyunchang' this time, carelessly lost the castle, and now Belgrade has been defeated from the city of Vienna. ”

"Ah, this Chang Ning is so powerful?" Emperor Zhu looked at Li Zhongshan in surprise, and said in his heart: When he fights with you, it seems to be very useless!

Li Zhongshan smiled proudly: "Chang Ning has also been defeated for a long time. Your Majesty, did you issue an edict to give him a king and encourage him? ”

"Crowned king?" Emperor Zhu was stunned, "Why did I give him the title of king?" ”

"Isn't he your emperor's son?" Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "Why did the emperor forget, Changning is Zhu Changning!" ”

"That's right," Emperor Zhu remembered now, "Kangxi is Wu Xuanye, Chang Ning is Zhu Changning, this is really a brother!" ”

"Definitely dear!" Li Zhongshan nodded, "Zhu Changning is also a foreign land this time, the emperor will give him a king, and then recognize a relative, it can be regarded as an end to the battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties. In this way, the remnants of the country who still dream of opposing the Ming Dynasty and restoring the Qing Dynasty can also have a distant place. ”

Li Yat-sen's suggestion now, Emperor Zhu can refuse-Emperor Zhu is the patriarch of the Zhu family, and he can have the final say on the matter of recognizing relatives with Zhu Changning. If he didn't admit it, Li Zhongshan had no choice but to give up.

However, Emperor Zhu didn't know whether to decide or not, so he turned his head to look at Zheng Jing and asked with a smile: "Xianzhi, do you think this matter is appropriate?" ”

Zheng Jing smiled: "Okay, you gave him a national surname before, and now you go further, what's wrong?" Besides, he has slipped away to Rakshasa and Rome, and if he recognizes a distant relative, maybe he will still have use value in the future! ”

Chen Yonghua also interjected: "Your Majesty, Zhu Changning, a distant relative of the clan, is very likely to become a grasp of the Ming Dynasty's intervention in European affairs in the future!" ”

Emperor Zhu nodded lightly: "Since everyone said so, then I reluctantly recognized this righteous son. By the way, what kind of king do I want to make him? ”

"King Pingxi!" Li Yat-sen said, "Make him the king of Pingxi, Constantinople is in the west of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Okay!" Emperor Zhu nodded, "Just crown him as a king of Pingxi, count him as a former branch of the clan, and give him the title of county king!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Li Zhongshan smiled, "The minister has to thank the emperor for Chang Ning's grace!" ”

Emperor Zhu smiled: "It's easy to say, it's right to say, you and Wu Shifan are also very good, do you want me to make him a king?" ”

Li Zhongshan shook his head and said, "The king is too young, so he has to be named an emperor. After Wu Shifan traveled west, after all, he was the emperor of tens of thousands of miles of territory, and it was impossible for him to surrender himself to the Prince of Daming. But an emperor, he should accept it. ”

The emperor is also the emperor!

And there is a precedent in Chinese history, and that precedent is a bit similar to Wu Sangui, all of which lead wolves into the house! However, Shi Jingjiao has a higher grade, and he recognizes the thief as his father. And Wu Sangui is mainly a thief, which is worse than Shi Jingjiao!

Now that Emperor Zhu is willing to accept Wu Shifan as the emperor, Wu Shifan should be satisfied - he is the emperor of Daming'er, so it will be a bit troublesome for Wu Yingqi and Wu Shicong to usurp the throne.

"That's okay!" Emperor Zhu smiled, "I also like Shi Fan's kid very much, he is much more likable than Changning." By the way, Shi Fan became my son, and that little gang is my daughter, so I will make her a princess again! ”

Okay, Wu Xiaogang is the princess of the two countries now, and she is the only one in the princess world.

Li Zhongshan thanked Wu Xiaogang again, and then he said to Emperor Zhu: "Your Majesty, this righteous son and daughter, you recognize three as recognition, and four as recognition, it is better to recognize one more!" ”

"Okay," Emperor Zhu asked, "Shikai, who do you still want me to recognize as a son?" ”

"Emperor Reigen of Japan." Li Zhongshan said, "Your Majesty, it's a little difficult for us to cut off the emperor's title, and it's a bit of a loss for you to be on an equal footing with him, so it's better to compromise and accept him as a son!" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Cijiong smiled and said, "I have another son. Do you want the Tokugawa shogun to take it too? ”

"It's not necessary," Li Yat-sen said with a smile, "The emperor supports the emperor, and the minister is related to the Tokugawa shogun, so he just goes to help the general's family, so that Japan can continue to fight dog-eat-dog." ”

Li Yat-sen's relatives with the Tokugawa family are also "recognized", didn't the Okubo Tadashi Dynasty propose to give his daughter to General Li as a concubine? When Tokugawa Mitsukuni learned about it, he arranged for Okubo Tadasato's daughter to recognize Tokugawa Tsunayoshi as her father, and then added the Tokugawa Miao character and sent it to Daming, becoming a member of General Li's side chamber regiment.

Zheng Jing stroked his beard at this time and said: "Now the relationship between the Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou, and Japan can finally be settled. In the future, the world of Shenzhou will take the Ming Dynasty as the country of the monarch's father, the Great Zhou and Japan as the sub-countries, and the Korea, Annam, Luzon, Ryukyu and other countries as the subject countries! ”

Chen Yonghua said: "In the future, the world of Shenzhou, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, can enjoy peace forever!" ”

Li Yat-sen said: "If you want to be peaceful for a long time, it is not enough to have Korea, Annam, Luzon, and Ryukyu. Our Daming is still a first-class internal and external subordinate! The family of princes and uncles, who is not a man with many heirs? Now that the dynasty is just beginning to rise, there are not many heirs who need to be arranged. But after several generations of reproduction, I don't know how many princes and grandchildren in the world, if they all stay in Daming and don't seal it out, Daming's oil and water will not let them eat and wipe it clean? What about the people underneath? Again, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? Besides, when the world is peaceful, the common people will have to reproduce their children and grandchildren. After the Ming Dynasty takes Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the snowy plateau, the population of the whole country should exceed 100 million, and the land in the country is still enough, but what about a hundred years later? Isn't it easy to triple the population of 100 million people in a hundred years? At that time, there will be a population of 30,000 in the world, how will this "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" be implemented?

According to the minister's view, we still have to take precautions, and open an additional vassal state as soon as possible in a place where there are few overseas people and more land, and now the navy of the Westerners has basically withdrawn from the Pacific Ocean, but the minister doesn't know if they will make a comeback in the future? Therefore, we must hurry up and deploy vassal states on the west coast of the New World, Malacca, the Nanyang Islands, the Tiannan States (referring to the Indochina Peninsula) and the Southern Continent south of the Nanyang Islands as soon as possible!

Regardless of whether it will be useful in the future or not, it is always good to circle it first! ”

"So many territories have been made into vassal states?" Emperor Zhu hesitated a little, "How many families do you have to seal out?" Who is it appropriate to give them all? ”

"You don't have to be a vassal state," Mr. Li said, "and an overseas province can also be established in a sea choke point like Malacca." However, there should not be many overseas provinces, otherwise they will not be able to manage it, and it will only increase the burden on the country. As for who the ministers are to be sealed, it means that there are a few in His Majesty's house, and there are also some unscrupulous descendants in the families of the kings, who are upset when they look at them, it is better to seal them far away and let them go to a world by themselves!

If you want to expand the land of the Western Zhou Dynasty back then, isn't it the same? At that time, I don't know how many were sealed out by Zhou Tianzi, and the ones that were able to develop in the end were those hegemonic countries. Let's do it again now! ”

Zhu Cijiong turned his head and looked at Zheng Jing and Chen Yonghua, they are also princes now, they should also be able to seal a country, I don't know if they want it?

Zheng Jing definitely wanted it, and he said approvingly: "The general is right, the eldest son of the minister, Keshuang, has the ambition of the Quartet, and wants to go to Nanyang to open up a royal business!" ”

Chen Yonghua said: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with the general's idea, and the minister's son can go to the southern continent of the New World to break through!" ”

Zhu Cijiong finally nodded, took a breath and said: "The son He Kun born to me and Yang Guifei can go to the United States to be the king, and I will not be the American emperor anymore, just let him be the king of the United States, and he can also seal some princes, marquis, and earls under his American kingdom, and give some opportunities to the heroes who can't reach the king." ”

Li Zhongshan saw that Emperor Zhu, Zheng Jing, and Chen Yonghua had all picked a good site, so he smiled and said: "The sons of the ministers and Xiaofu will stay in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the sons will be sealed out of the southern continent south of the Nanyang in the future."

I hope that a hundred years from now, the descendants of our people will be able to spread out beyond the four seas and create a world of our China! ”
