Great Tang Southern Emperor

Chapter 534 Restart Enclosure (Two in One)

Chapter 3 Restart Enclosure (Two in One)

"What I want to say, haven't you already guessed it?" Li Zhen looked at Li Chengqian with a light smile and said, "This world is so big that I can't manage it alone, but so many unowned lands are in vain. It's too wasteful to do it... Brother, if God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead."

"Are you going to restore the enfeoffment system?" Li Chengqian looked excited: "Are you going to entrust the whole world to your brothers? But you should also know the disadvantages of the enfeoffment system. You are not afraid that the princes will become bigger in the future, and then annex them in turn. Don?"

"What am I afraid of?" Li Zhen said indifferently: "I will seal you thousands of miles away, so what if you want to rebel? For a journey of tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of troops will have to go for at least a year? If a year is too long Tang hasn't reacted yet, so he deserves to be wiped out. What's more, even if you kill him, isn't the surname Li who sits in the world? Meat rots in the pot after all."

"I still don't believe that you will be so generous." Li Chengqian pointed at Li You's fiefdom: "Such a large area, almost as big as half of the Tang Dynasty, right? You are so generous to distribute it to the fifth younger brother?"

"I can't help it. It's bitterly cold here, and there aren't any precious minerals. I won't make the land bigger, and Fifth Brother doesn't want it either." Li Zhen said with a smile. There are indeed no precious minerals in the Nordic area. Although iron ore reserves are abundant, they are still too poor compared to South America and Australia. As long as they own these two places, Datang will no longer have to worry about the source of minerals in the next 500 years.Although there are a lot of iron mines in Northern Europe, they are too far away from Datang, and the reserves are not top-notch. It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to discard them. They should be generous and give them to Li You.

Speaking of this, Li Zhen took a look at Li Chengqian, and said with a slight smile: "Brother, if you also want a bigger site, it doesn't matter, I will give you the Sahara. Although the place is a desert, it is a big place. The area of ​​Tang Dynasty is almost the same, it is definitely a big land. If you still think the land is small, I will give you Antarctica. This is a whole continent, the area is bigger than Tang Dynasty. If you like it, I can give it to you now .”

"Although what you said may be true, I always feel that there is something wrong with what you said." Li Chengqian also calmed down at this time, and looked at the map again, and found that besides the northern European part, there were several other places of different sizes. Circled, then pointed at the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe: "Whose property is this? Why is it so much smaller than Fifth Brother's? It's almost half the size, right?"

Li Zhen glanced at it and said casually: "Oh, this belongs to the sixth brother. As for why it is smaller than the fifth brother's, there is no way. Big fortune."

"What about here?"

Li Chengqian was referring to southern Africa, and Li Zhenqiang said with a suppressed smile; "This belongs to the fourth brother. He heard that this place is a prairie, and he likes the feeling of galloping horses on the prairie, so I introduced it to him and gave it to him. He has marked such a large area."

"I always feel that there is something wrong with your words." Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhen's expression: "Is there something wrong here?"

"This is the hometown of the Kunlun slaves. You should know that I have a Kunlun slave warrior named Ben Yin. His hometown is not far from here in the north." Li Zhen finally couldn't hold back her smile, and laughed loudly: " Everything here is good, the only place is people, there are only black Kunlun slaves here, let alone our Tang people, there is not even a Nanyang monkey..."

"Pfft~ hahaha..." Li Chengqian was startled, and then he laughed too: "This is the happiest thing I heard today. When I think of a big white fat man like Lao Si surrounded by a group of black women In the middle, I felt comfortable in my heart, so comfortable, hahaha..."

Although he was demoted, as a deadly enemy, Li Chengqian was very happy to see Li Tai suffer, especially when he was bullied by others, Li Chengqian would be even happier.

"Fuck..." Li Zhenchang was thinking about that kind of scene... Oh my god, my eyes are going to be blinded by the heat.

"Eighth brother, you are good, very good, really good." Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhen with a smile on his face: "You show me this, which means that I can also choose a place from the map to be a fief? I can Do you understand that?"

At this time, facing Li Zhen, he no longer felt any hatred or grievance in his heart. He knew that no matter who was right or wrong, his demotion was a foregone conclusion. It's like in a dream that a small territory dominates and dominates.

Li Zhen nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean, but whether the place you choose can be your fief is up to me to decide."

"Of course I know this. After all, some places are really important." Li Chengqian didn't think he was disobedient, he had already been reduced to such a point, it would be nice to have a fief, so how could there be room for picking and choosing?

Li Zhen made a gesture of invitation: "Brother just understands, brother, please choose."

"Hmm..." Li Chengqian stood in front of the map and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Eighth Brother, where is Ninth Brother's fief?"

"The ninth brother's territory is here." Li Zhen pointed to the area in Algeria, which was Li Zhi's territory.Then he pointed to the area of ​​northern Africa near the Indian Ocean and said, "If you want to be a neighbor with the ninth brother, I suggest you choose this place. These two are precious lands, both of which are rich in fire oil. It is very rare. You have gone to other places." You don’t have to do anything, you can make a fortune just by selling oil.”

"So good?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhen suspiciously: "This place is really as good as you said, so why don't you just occupy it? Even if you can't occupy it because the distance is too far, why do you tell me this? I'm afraid there are some restrictions in it?"

"Of course." Li Zhen pointed to Honghaikou: "You can occupy the northeastern part of Africa, but you can't get your hands on this area. This is an important military base I have planned in the future. Except for the Tang Empire, no one can move here. "

"Forget it then." Li Chengqian looked at Honghaikou, which was close at hand, shook his head and said, "Then I don't want to go here anymore. Although it's good here, what's the point of staying under your nose every day? I still have No more secrets? I'll choose another place."

"Then you can do whatever you want." Li Zhen didn't care, as long as he didn't choose an important mining area or a place with high military value, everything else was fine.

Li Chengqian scanned the west, and found that the places he could choose were basically occupied. He said disappointedly: "You only point to the west of the Tang Dynasty. Is there no land in the east of the Tang Dynasty?"

"No, our Tang Dynasty is already the easternmost country. Further east is the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is vast and boundless. There may be a continent on the opposite side, but we don't know where it is. At least it can't be detected in a short period of time. "Li Zhen lied here, and he knew that there was indeed a continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.But he didn't lie, because the continent there is indeed still in an undeveloped state. With the navigation technology of Datang today, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait to find America—unless he goes north along the Asian continent and passes Bai Bai. Let the strait go further east, so that you can reach the later Alaska area, but this method can only be a last resort, because the north is too cold, the environment is extremely harsh, and blizzards are frequent. With the current navigation conditions, if Taking this route, at least [-]% of the crew would be lost, and Li Zhen would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary, so it could only be used as a backup plan.

However, the development conditions in Australia have gradually matured. Datang has liberated the Indochina Peninsula. As long as the islands in Southeast Asia are unified, it will not be easy to go to Australia?To put it bluntly, as long as there are enough supplies and accurate navigation charts, you can run there even by paddling a bathtub-the two ends of Southeast Asia are Australia and Asia, and there are tiny islands in the middle.

However, Australia is the territory that Li Zhen prepared for herself. There are countless precious resources on it, especially minerals, and many of them are urgently needed by Datang, so it is impossible to give them to others.

As for the Americas, as long as Australia can be conquered, they can go to South America through Australia. In addition, they can go to America through Europe. As for which route to use, Li Zhen is still considering.

But psychologically, Li Zhen still prefers to go through Australia, because although the Atlantic Ocean is narrower, but the place is unfamiliar, and there is no accurate route, it is basically impossible to go there.On the other hand, Australia, although after Australia, the number of islands gradually became scarce, but there are islands after all. It should not be difficult to find America. The only problem is that I don’t know that the terrain of the Pacific Ocean during the Tang Dynasty is the same as that of later generations. up.

"Then I want this place." Li Chengqian pointed to Kalimantan Island and asked, "I see a group of islands here, what do you think?"

"You really know how to choose a place." Li Zhen looked at Li Chengqian speechlessly. That place is Borneo, which has a lot of oil, and its reserves rank among the top in the world. The difficulty is extremely low, and it is most suitable for Datang, which has undeveloped mining conditions. It also has extremely high strategic value. Li Zhen will not give it to Li Chengqian. .

"Why, can't it?" Seeing Li Zhen's expression, Li Chengqian asked strangely: "Is this just a deserted island? Don't you even want to let go of a deserted island?"

"Because it's a desert island, I'm not willing to give it to you." Li Zhen had no choice but to tactfully say: "This place is a desert island, and even if there are people there, they are all local aborigines. Whose king are you going to be? And the oil fields above are also huge. Don’t need it urgently, it’s really not suitable.”

"Forget it." Li Chengqian withdrew his finger in disappointment, and simply said: "Then why don't you point me to a place."

"I've thought about it a long time ago." Li Zhen pointed to the southern part of the Asan country that will belong to the later generations: "Brother, what do you think of Tianzhu? This place is densely populated, just like my Central Plains. It has an ancient civilization and guards the gold that connects Europe." Waterways, at the same time, also have many good ports, and it is also the birthplace of Buddha, and it is a rare rich town outside the Tang Dynasty, what do you think?"

"You speak so well, but why do I always feel that you are a little bit malicious?"

"No, not at all." Li Zhen shook her head hastily, and said with some guilt, this place is indeed a good place, but the only problem is that this is the birthplace of Buddhism. Colonial occupation, they are afraid that they will find Li Chengqian desperately at the first time.

"Then here it is, but I have the south, what about the north?"

"The northern part is also a fiefdom. Let's see which brothers grow up in the future, and then reward them." Li Zhen explained that he really didn't like this wonderful country at all. Wouldn't it be right for Datang to directly occupy it? It is possible - it is not impossible to occupy it, but it must be like Nanyang, turning all its people into slaves, but with Nanyang's nearly tens of millions of slaves, Datang has no shortage of slaves in a short period of time, and so on. When the batch of slaves is exhausted, Datang can reach Africa, and Africa has the best coolies—black slaves.

With hard-working black slaves, there is no need for thin and lazy Tianzhu slaves. At most, we can get more Tianzhu dancers to the Tang Dynasty to enrich the cultural and material life of the Tang Dynasty.

So Li Zhen didn't pay attention to this piece of land at all. Anyway, even if her brothers are sealed off, there are still cousins. Several of them are underage. When they become adults, they will divide this place into more than a dozen countries Just seal it to them.

"Okay, so be it." Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Anyway, it's still early, and all this will be discussed when you sit on the throne yourself - I just hope you can keep your word."

Li Zhen promised: "Don't worry about this, big brother. I am a businessman, and I am the most trustworthy in my work. You know this."

"I hope so." Li Chengqian took a deep look at Li Zhen: "Eighth brother, you are very good, but I hope you don't give me hope and then give me despair. I will definitely fight you hard."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, brother. I said that I always keep my word, and it is even more impossible to joke with you on this kind of thing."

"..."

After sending Li Chengqian away, Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today, he communicated with Li Chengqian with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, Li Chengqian is not the other princes. He was a prince. Who knows if he is willing to accept his proposal? ?

He didn't want to fall out with Li Chengqian, that would be bad for anyone.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian is not as cold as usual, perhaps because he has experienced ups and downs in his life, he became calmer after crying a lot, and he did not reject his proposal, nor was he greedy... In short, everything was perfect Solve it, I believe that with today's incident, Li Chengqian should not be against him again.

Chapter 535 Li Zhen's Backhand

Chapter 3: Li Zhen's Backhand

After dealing with Li Chengqian, Li Zhen leaned back and leaned against a warm embrace. A pair of small hands happened to appear on Li Zhen's temples, gently massaging him.

It was Aya who came, or she was not here, because she had been lurking by Li Zhen's side all the time. This is why Li Zhen was so relieved that Li Chengqian stayed alone in her study—after all, it was a wartime, and Li Zhen Most of the materials in the study are military materials.

"My eldest brother didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen?"

"No, he is very honest. He has been reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that you annotated all the time." Aya replied, and then asked softly: "However, Your Highness, is it really true to exchange such a large fief for a moment of peace? Is it worth it? I have read the history of China. The Zhou Dynasty perished in the hands of the enfeoffment system, the Han Dynasty almost perished in the Seven Kings Rebellion, and the Jin Dynasty completely declined because of the Eight Kings Rebellion. Aren't the brothers afraid of suffering the same mistakes when they are separated out?"
