The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

Chapter 295 Actions of all parties
Before leaving Dayu, Xia Jing recruited a group of ordinary people who were willing to go to Nanyang, and these ordinary people became the source of Malajia's troops.

After settling down in Malajia, Li Chengyi issued a royal order. The people of Dayu who followed Dayu had to have more children and accumulate food. If a child turns three years old, he will be tax-free for one year. Once this decree is issued, you can imagine Who knows how enthusiastic the people of Dayu who came out were to have children!

The people of Dayu who followed them from Dayu settled down in Malajia. The government can exempt them from taxes for three years. If the daughter-in-law at home has a child every two years, the family can basically continue to be exempt from taxes.

Especially in this era, men have many wives and have many concubines, and their enthusiasm for childbirth has been raised to the extreme.It is conceivable that after ten or twenty years, the population of Dayu in Malajia will double.

Across the Malaga Strait is Indonesia's Sumen Island in later generations. This country of a thousand islands has some of the world's top gold and copper reserves. An inexhaustible treasury.

Of course, if Li Chengyi attacks Java, Dayu's naval base in Nanyang will not sit idly by and will definitely send troops to assist.

In later generations, this country was not friendly to the Dayu people. There were several massacres against the Dayu people in history.Therefore, even though this is in another time and space, there is no need to be merciful to them, but any dishonest natives can be captured and mined in the mines.

When Xia Jing left Nanyang, she said to Li Chengyi: "I know you used to only care about eating, drinking and having fun in the capital, but if you don't change your ways when you get to Nanyang, you may be eliminated by other forces. In order to stay in Nanyang for a long time To enjoy a wealthy life, you must remember one thing: people who are not of my race will have different minds!
Overseas, not every ethnic group is as industrious and kind as our Dayu people. The natives here are lazy, lazy, and jealous.If we Dayu people get rich here and live a life of superiority to others, then they will definitely be jealous.

Jealousy will cause the extremely ugly side of human nature to explode, and conflicts may arise in order to stabilize your dominance.You have to remember that in Dayu you might rule the country with benevolence, but here strong force is the foundation of your stability. Only a strong army can make you invincible no matter when and where! "

Xia Jing advocated that the best administrative system for all overseas vassal kings to rule locally was to implement militarization.

As the army becomes stronger, any force will have to make way for you, let alone the lazy natives.

Of course, if a vassal king has more sons, there will definitely be situations where the feudal lords are competing for power and fighting with each other. In order to avoid this situation, it depends on the vassal king's own handling methods. There are new continents everywhere overseas, and there are countless islands in Southeast Asia. As long as the vassal king is not stupid , this situation is easy to avoid.

At the beginning of the second year after Li Chengmu succeeded to the throne, the Banggela Khanate was in war, and Dayu was busy managing the captured Dongwu and Annan, and the army was resting in place.

In the words of Dayu, it is like a mantis stalking a cicada, followed by an oriole.

But Malaka was different. After several months of preparation, Li Chengyi crossed the strait and attacked Java as soon as the New Year was over. Anyone who resisted would be killed.

Li Chengyi's idea was very simple. He wanted to occupy Sumen Island across the strait. Now he only had one son. He occupied the opposite island and left it to his son as a fief. By the way, he also pocketed the minerals on the opposite island.In the future, if he has another son, he can inherit the Malaga Peninsula. It is fair and just that each of the two sons will share the territory.

After Dayu opened the land route to the Indian Ocean, he began to adjust his strategy, focusing on governance. As for expanding the territory, he could only wait for the right opportunity. If the time was right, it would not be impossible to expand the territory.

Lingnan.

"Xia, now that the country is stable and there are no plans to expand the territory overseas, should we prepare to organize another fleet for the next trip to Nanyang? This time we will invite the eldest family and his family, and take the family members of the fourth brother with us."

Seeing that the war was suspended, Li Jingfu immediately began to encourage Xia Jing to go to Nanyang again.

It is spring again and flowers are blooming. At this time of year, the climate in Lingnan is suitable. Xia Jing has no objection to the idea of ​​going to Nanyang.

just
"You want to entrust the boss to be enfeoffed this time. Have you thought about which land to entrust the boss to?"

In today's Age of Discovery, many continents have not yet been developed, which is also the best opportunity for outward expansion. Xia Jing is very willing to expand territory for the Dayu people for the rest of her life.

As soon as Li Jingfu heard Xia Jing's words, he asked Anu to unfold the world map. He pointed to a large island not far from the Strait of Malacca and said: "This!"

Xia Jing looked at where he was pointing, looked at him in shock, and asked, "Are you going to hand over this entire continent to the boss and his family?"

"Well, what do you think?"

Xia Jing retracted her leaning body, leaned on the armchair, and sighed: "I can only say that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son. This is indeed true."

"How do you say this?" Li Jingfu looked at her.

"Do you know how big this big island you are talking about is?" Xia Jing rubbed her eyebrows. It is nearly 600 million square kilometers and is the largest island in the world.

If their current navigation technology meets her expectations, she would have no objection to giving the boss nearly 600 million square kilometers.

It's just that the speed of sea voyage is too slow, and it will take several months to reach the world's largest island. According to Xia Jing's opinion, the eldest brother and the second brother, who are from the same mother, might as well divide the two brothers together.

Nearly 600 million square kilometers, evenly divided between the brothers, each has nearly 300 million square kilometers, which is quite a big area.

Both of them have sons and grandsons. If they want to make life easier for their sons and grandsons in the future, they can head to South America. The land there is larger, and they can settle down no matter how many descendants they have.

"How big?"

"The land area is not much different from that of Dayu during the Huiyuan period!"

"Hiss" Li Jingfu's eyes widened.

Isn't it a waste of resources to have such a large land area without anyone to rule it?
"This piece of land must be occupied. Let the boss and the second brother come together. I will send a letter to the capital right now and let the two brothers make preparations. We will go to Nanyang in mid-February at the latest."

It's only mid-February, and spring flowers are already blooming in Lingnan. I think the snow in Beijing has not yet melted, but there are railways from Beijing to Lingnan, and at most you have to change trains when encountering big rivers.

At least the speed of traveling now is much faster than before.

Xia Jing had no objection to this.She asked Ye Fei to inform Marquis Mingyue that if they wanted to go to Nanyang, it would be a good opportunity to follow them this time.

In this dimension, Xia Jing hopes that the people of Dayu will take advantage of the situation, and she also hopes that the Xia family will also benefit from it.

Throughout the dynasties, few families had a good ending. Although the Xia family did not compete for power, she hoped that they would have a place overseas, even if it was a small island, at least they would be the masters of their own affairs.

Xia Jing in Lingnan was preparing to go to sea, while the officials sent by Dong Wu and Annan were busy settling the local people. The people in the two places did not look much different from Dayu, except for the language barrier.Annan's rebel army caused chaos in Dongwu and made the people of Dongwu miserable. Dongwu's soldiers and horses fought with all their strength, and Dayu's army occupied Dongwu. They finally had no choice but to flee to Banggela Khanate.

For the sake of domestic stability, the Punggala Khanate could only send troops to destroy this remaining force, but it was counterproductive.

As soon as they sent out troops, Dongwu's remaining troops were caused to scatter everywhere, which caused the destruction of life in Banggela.

There were many Banggela refugees on the border who fled into Dongwu territory. Dayu officials tried to appease them and distributed the land of the fleeing Dongwu nobles to the poor on a per capita basis.

A lot of crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes were shipped from China and began to be promoted in Annan and Dongwu.

In short, as long as the people in these two places are diligent, they will not starve according to the climate here.

Rice crops three times a year, and with the blessing of dryland crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, there will be plenty of food after the harvest.

As long as ordinary people have good policies and are not hungry, they will not care who rules them.

No matter who rules them, as long as they don't go hungry and their lives get better, then they will obey whoever.

Dayu's and Dongwu's strategies of "attacking the local tyrants and dividing their lands" in Annan and Dongwu were very popular, which also led to everything going well for the people's support under their governance.

Since then, Dongwu has been under the jurisdiction of Dayu and was established as the No. 16 state capital of Dayu, Dongwu Prefecture.Dayu also changed from the original thirteen states to sixteen states, and in addition to Dongwu state, the newly added state capitals also included Annan state and Hetao state in the north.

The areas in the northeast that were recovered from the Jurchens were merged into Youzhou and were directly under the jurisdiction of Youzhou.In this way, Dayu's territory really expanded a lot.

The problem for the new emperor was the lack of population. In recent years, Dayu's population had been reduced sharply due to successive wars and various disasters. Now that the country was at peace, it was a good time to develop the population.

Faced with Li Jingfu's request, Li Chengmu looked at the letter in his hand in embarrassment and said to Chang Lu: "Father, this is a difficult problem for me. I have no objection to the vassal king's enfeoffment overseas, but now we, Dayu, are also short of people. Moreover, a large area of ​​land in the north is uninhabited, but now we have to select some people to follow the vassal king to entrust overseas. This is not to draw the blood of Dayu."

"Your Majesty, the advantages of the vassal king's enfeoffment overseas must outweigh the disadvantages. I heard that the overseas wars were more serious than our Dayu, and the population structure was more women and fewer men. And most of the people who died during the disaster years of our Dayu were women, old people and children, and they also died in the wars. There are many men, but in summary there are still more men than women.”

As he said that, Chang Lu glanced at Li Chengmu, and then said: "If the two princes are entrusting themselves overseas and want to bring some people there, why not specially select some men to go there and let them go overseas to marry wives and start families? I believe that with my Dayu man With great fertility, it won’t take many years for my bloodline, Dayu’s, to be everywhere overseas.”

Li Chengmu looked at the long and heroic road and glanced disdainfully from top to bottom, "Do you regret that you have cleared away the root of your trouble? Looking at your lofty ambitions, if you had not cleared away the root of your trouble, I really want to send you there too. Give birth to children overseas and contribute to the population of your lords and vassals!”

"Uh" Chang Lu choked for a moment, lowered his head and glanced at his crotch, then looked at the emperor resentfully.

It is the virtue of a human being not to expose others' shortcomings. Don't you know, Your Majesty?

Li Chengmu ignored his resentment and asked him to announce the entry of the two princes into the palace.

Wangfu.

Li Chengzhan also received a letter from Li Jingfu, in which Li Jingfu explained to him the purpose of this voyage.

He also described to him the bright prospects overseas. Not to mention, living in the capital every day in suffocation, it would be better to go overseas and make a living.

But there is still a trace of reluctance in my heart. He is the legitimate son of his original wife and is more qualified to inherit the throne than the current emperor, but his eccentric father passed the throne to his fourth brother.

The main reason for passing the throne to the fourth child is probably that the fourth child has a good mother and the support of a good mother. It seems that passing the throne to him is not that difficult to understand.

Li Chengzhan folded the letter, walked out of the study and went directly to the backyard.

"This is a letter from my father. Take a look at it. If you have any opinions, put them forward in time so that we can discuss and resolve them."

Princess Wen Shaofeng took the letter, read it roughly at a glance, and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the benefits of going overseas are just like what my father said, but there are also many difficulties. First of all, this continent must be a barbaric land, and we will be enfeoffed. The past is tantamount to exile. If we have gone through so much trouble to reach this land, have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to build an ideal city?"

It's not that Li Chengzhan hasn't thought about difficulties, it's just that compared to difficulties, he doesn't want to live in frustration in the capital.

"Are you afraid of suffering under this king?"

Wen Shaofeng shook his head gently and said in a gentle voice: "The prince is joking, from the day I married you, I have been yours. We will live in the same quilt and die in the same hole. We will be bound for the rest of our lives." Together. How can I be afraid of hardship? I can stay with you. I have never felt any hardship."

Speaking in a gentle tone could soothe an anxious heart, and coupled with the princess's beautiful words, Li Chengzhan's manly self-esteem was instantly soothed.

The corner of his mouth turned up slightly, "It's good if you think so. No matter how many concubines I take, no one can shake the status of your head wife. Don't worry about this. The same is true for children. The legitimate sons and daughters are in my mind. The status is always ahead of others.”

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness to me." Wen Shaofeng stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

If Xia Jing were here, she would definitely lament that giving face to the first wife is what a man should give as a husband.When it comes from a man's mouth, it's like a charity, and women should be grateful for it.

Li Chengzhan pointed to the letter in her hand and asked: "According to what the father said, we will have to prepare in the capital for up to ten days before heading south. You can see what we need to bring, and you can see the arrangements. It is best to Just write a list, and I will make additions and subtractions when the time comes."

After coming out of the backyard, before reaching the front yard, the housekeeper from the outer courtyard hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor announced that you have entered the palace, saying that he has important matters to discuss."

Li Chengzhan clicked his tongue: "Our emperor is very fast in his work. As soon as he received the news, he couldn't wait to have someone come to announce that this king has entered the palace."

The steward of the outer courtyard raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and asked, "Your Majesty, will I ask someone to arrange the carriage now?"

"Okay, go ahead." Li Chengzhan waved his hand.
