This is impossible!

Xu Wenjue opened his mouth to refute, but was frightened back by his father's death glare.

"To receive a lesson from Mr. Wuzhou, a blessing that no one in the world can ask for, why don't you listen carefully!" We must not let this little brat embarrass himself again.

"To put it this way, in history, King Zhou was not stupid, Daji did not cause chaos in the country, Qin Shihuang did not kill Confucian scholars, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was guilty of contemporary crimes, and his benefits will be eternal. However, none of the founding kings of any dynasty was

Good people, betrayal, ruthlessness and unrighteousness are all necessary qualities. They also try their best to slander the previous dynasty. Only in this way can they show their greatness and integrity."

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, Xu Hongji couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Seeing that his son didn't respond, he immediately scolded, "I still don't thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Xu Wenjue gritted his teeth and stood up, bowing to Wang Xuan to express his gratitude.

Wang Xuan didn't take it seriously either. The reason why he said these few words was just to show his favor for Xu Hongji's face. After all, he was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to be so enlightened and a minister, so he still had to give him some face.

.

"Thank you very much, sir. Let's not talk about this treacherous son. I wonder if you, sir, are sure that the Japanese country will be completely pacified?" Xu Hongji brought the topic back, "You know, the two expeditions of the Yuan Dynasty to the Japanese country came back in vain, with losses.

heavy!"

"The Yuan Dynasty is Yuan, and I am me. One is a nation on the grasslands, and the other is based on maritime trade. How can they be compared? Not to mention the internal conflicts in the Yuan Dynasty's expeditionary force, the Japanese nation escaped catastrophe twice, relying on nothing more than

It's just a storm at sea, but this is no threat to me. The so-called big ships of the Yuan Dynasty are nothing more than sampans compared with the warships in my hands, let alone navigation experience."

"As for after the landing, I must know a lot about the Japanese Kingdom. Their so-called Warring States Period, compared with China, is just a village-to-village fight. What nonsense, the Three Heroes of the Warring States Period, the Tokugawa Shogunate, stop making trouble.

"He is only 1.5 meters tall. He is short and skinny and has a hard life. His legs are bandy and short. Killing him is like slaughtering a dog!"

After saying that, in order to prove that he was not bragging, Wang Xuan stood up, rummaged around on the desk, pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Hongji.

Xu Wenjue also wanted to know how Wang Xuan could prove his shameless words, so he stretched his head next to his father and looked over.

What was clearly written on the piece of paper was a map. Fujian, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Qilu, Xiaoliuqiu, Korea, and Japan were all clearly drawn on the paper, and a red arrow started from Fuzhou, Fujian, and passed through Xiaoliuqiu.

Ryukyu and the Ryukyu Islands go directly to the Japanese island of Kyushu.

Along the way, the voyage distance and where to build a stopping point are clearly marked. This is clearly a marching route map for attacking the Japanese country. There are more than a dozen places to stop along the way. Although it is a bit far away, it can perfectly avoid the storm.

, there is no need to worry about being buried in the sea like the Yuan Dynasty.

Xu Hongji was amazed when he saw it, and Xu Wenjue was also dumbfounded. With such a precise map and plan, it was obvious that Wang Xuan had a complete plan for attacking the Japanese country, and he was just waiting for the right time to take action, and actually sent his army to the Japanese country. Xu

Hongji had no doubt that Wang Xuan could easily kill all those short boys.

After returning this strategic plan to Wang Xuan, Xu Hongji no longer doubted whether Wang Xuan could conquer Japan.

Wang Xuan smiled and took back the drawings, then spread his hands and said: "It's just... I have no idea of ​​​​attacking the Japanese country now. In the Japanese country, I don't see any benefits worth taking action!"

"Why not!" Since it is certain that Wang Xuan is capable, the retreat of the Xu family he planned will fall on the opponent. Now that Wang Xuan said that he did not want to bother, Xu Hongji was a little anxious, "I dare not say anything else.

, but the Japanese country is rich in gold and silver. Every year, the large merchants in Nanzhili and Zhejiang can earn millions of taels of silver from the Japanese country. The Japanese country uses all the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty, even if the copper coins are exchanged for gold and silver.

, there is also a lot of profit to be made.”

After Xu Hongji finished speaking, Wang Xuan smiled, "The problem is that I am not short of money. I don't know how to spend my own money. Now, all roads in Fujian have been re-paved, including Guangdong, Guangxi, and Annan.

Construction has begun on a large scale. Even so, the money is not spent as fast as it can be earned, so why should I ask for gold and silver from Japan?"

"Furthermore, most of the gold and silver earned by the large merchants were spent in Fujian, so there is no need for me to make another trip!"

puff!

Xu Hongji can't wait to spray his old blood all over Wang Xuan's face, knocking out his mother, he looks so rich and helpless, it really makes people want to beat him to death!

In fact, this is not Wang Xuan's bragging. The vault is indeed filled with gold and silver. Now on the market, large-scale transactions use only "Hua Xia Wang's Bank" style banknotes, special paper, and ten processes.

Engraving and printing with steel seals were impossible to imitate and were safe and convenient. This resulted in all the gold and silver becoming reserves and piling up in the treasury.

Not to mention the loans issued by selling land...

Now, it can be said that Wang Xuan is one of the richest people in the world.

"Huhuhu~" Xu Hongji took a few deep breaths, and then he regained his composure. He looked at Wang Xuan, gritted his teeth, and said bluntly: "I want the land of the Japanese country, and immigrated there in large numbers, thinking that I Xu

As for the retreat of the Xu clan, even if the world collapses, there is still a way out. Mr. Wuzhou, tell me, if you have any conditions, as long as I, the Xu clan, can meet them, I will not refuse!"

That's what it means. In this way, the Japanese country is a good place. At least according to the thinking of people in this era, even if the dynasty changes, it will be difficult to attack the Japanese country. There will be no problem in ensuring that the Xu family can safely survive the crisis of the dynasty change.

Especially here on Kyushu Island, the climate is divided into four distinct levels, with sufficient rainfall, which is suitable for farming. It is indeed a good place. Compared with it, Southeast Asia is much worse. For people of this era, Southeast Asia is full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

If there is plague and miasma, it is a barbaric land.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Xuan tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair and did not speak there. Although Xu Hongji was cunning and cunning, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves in his life, but he could face a

The person who can decide the future of the Xu family will inevitably become nervous.

It can be said that except for Wang Xuan, he can no longer find anyone in the world who can help them perfectly conquer the Japanese land. He himself will never dare to privately accumulate troops on the ground of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from anything else, as long as he has

At this sign, people from the four major parties will immediately work together to overthrow him. His goal is too big!

After a while, Wang Xuan then looked up at Xu Hongji and said solemnly: "First, you Xu clan cannot occupy the entire Japanese country. It is not just a matter of ability. I will not allow this to happen."

Xu Hongji suddenly felt happy. This in turn meant that the Xu family could at least occupy part of the Japanese land, which meant that Wang Xuan agreed!

"It all depends on what Mr. Wuzhou means. I, Mrs. Xu, am still self-aware and dare not think too much about it." Xu Hongji said this with full respect and deliberately lowered his posture to express his surrender.

"Old Duke is indeed one of the few smart people in the Ming Dynasty. If you are the first to think of finding me, I won't treat you badly." After saying that, he picked up the map and pointed it to Xu Hongji, "This place is called Jiuzhou Island.

It’s one-third the size of Zhejiang, enough for your Xu family to use. No matter how much, you won’t be able to withstand the counterattack of the Tokugawa shogunate who was living a good life in Japan, and I can’t possibly station troops for a long time.

On your side to protect your safety."

"I understand this, please rest assured, Mr. Wuzhou." Xu Hongji nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, the basic agreement has been reached. Now, let's talk about the price you Xu family can pay to ask me to take action. Crossing the sea and laboring on an expedition is a unique business in the world."

Just as Xu Hongji was about to open his mouth, Wang Xuan suddenly interrupted with a wave of his hand, stretched out a finger and shook it slightly in the air, "Let me make it clear first, don't ask me for money. It's too vulgar and superficial."

Xu Hongji's throat twitched, and he decided to hit someone, but for a moment he didn't know what to say!

"Then please make it clear what Mr. Wuzhou needs." He actually didn't want to say this. However, the initiative was in Wang Xuan's hands, and he had no choice. He was really afraid that Wang Xuan would make any excessive demands, such as asking the Xu family to

If he acts as an internal response and opens the gates of Nanjing, he will be in a dilemma.

"Well, the old Duke and I hit it off, so it won't be difficult for you. This matter will be easy for you." Wang Xuan said with a smile: "Just get me some people. It doesn't need to be more, just three million people."

Xu Hongji blinked. He felt that he must have heard it wrong. There are three million people. You are kidding!

A population of three million does not sound like much, but it is compared to the Ming Dynasty's population of 70 to 80 million. If we look at a province, such as Sichuan, Yunnan, or under Wang Xuan's rule, the population of a province is only more than 3 million. Wang Xuan's

It’s like emptying out a whole province!

A population of 100,000 or 80,000 is not a big deal for the Xu family, but 3 million, this amount is too scary. Doesn’t this mean that there will be no human habitation for thousands of miles!

Furthermore, after they occupy the Japanese country, they will also immigrate part of it. Thinking about it, Xu Hongji couldn't help but tremble at the corner of his mouth, "This is too much!"

"Not much." Wang Xuan curled his lips and said: "Your ancestor Xu Da fought in the north and south for many years, helping Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the world, and he only just sealed the Xuxian of a Duke. When he went to Duke Ding, for

Zhu Di also died, and then he gave it to the Duke. But in the final analysis, it was all imaginary. It could be a piece of land one-third the size of Zhejiang, and it completely belonged to your Xu family. How to manage it?

It's up to you to decide how to set up laws, and it's far away from the mainland. As long as your Xu family doesn't commit suicide, you can easily pass it on for hundreds of years."

"Isn't such a huge benefit worth three million people? Moreover, Japan is rich in gold and silver. According to what I know, the small island of Kyushu has no less than 30 million taels of silver reserves. This does not include other minerals.

It’s not a problem to sell the arable land on the island for 10 to 20 million taels of silver!”

"No matter how you calculate it, this Kyushu Island is definitely worth more than 100 million taels of silver. Old Duke, you are definitely not worth a population of 3 million!?"

Wang Xuan's words made Xu Hongji speechless. According to this calculation, it is indeed cheap to sell Kyushu Island with a population of three million... But damn, three million, where can you get so many people?
