Chapter 645: Golden State Across the Ocean(1/3)
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but said to Li Ke: "Brother Emperor, it will take several months to travel eastward along the sea."
"Across the vast sea, you can come to a place called the Golden State."
"The land in this place is so fertile that you don't even need to cultivate it. You only need to scatter a handful of seeds to harvest food."
"The terrain here is flat and the weather is smooth. If all this land is cultivated, it can support a large number of people."
"And here, there is no country yet, there are only some indigenous people on it."
"If we go now, we can capture it easily."
"And if we don't occupy it, sooner or later, someone else will occupy it."
"Once a foreign race takes over this place, it can develop rapidly with the fertile land here."
"In the future, it may pose a great threat to Datang."
"After Datang occupied this land, there were actually various problems."
"For example, because of the long distance, it is not conducive to management."
"A round trip for an order may take up to half a year, or even longer."
"If this happens over time, problems will inevitably arise."
"So what I mean is that if the emperor trusts me, I can seal my fiefdom in this Golden State."
"My brother led the population to reclaim and build the Golden State and establish a satellite state of the Tang Dynasty."
"In the future, the Golden State and the Tang Dynasty will always be brotherly states. When we join hands, who else in the whole world will be our opponent?"
After hearing Li Min's words, Li Ke was silent for a long time.
Then he said: "Sixth brother, from an emotional point of view, I really don't want to let you go. If you leave, who else will be by my side to help me?"
"But rationally, I think you should be allowed to go. This throne should have been yours, sixth brother."
"And the sixth brother gave up this throne to me. Then, the sixth brother, you will go overseas to build an empire!"
"From now on, Sixth Brother, your empire and mine will always be friends! You and I, brothers, work together and our strength is as strong as gold!"
"It's just that if my sixth brother goes to the Golden State, I will be alone, and some people may do something strange!"
Hearing that the imperial brother finally agreed, Li Min felt happy.
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Brother Emperor, going to the Golden State requires a lot of preparation, and it won't happen overnight."
"Furthermore, even if the Golden State is established, there may be more ministers who will stay in the Tang Dynasty."
"After all, my brother is a native of the Tang Dynasty, so it's hard to leave his hometown!"
"When the time comes, let's leave the overseas territories to those little guys to fiddle with!"
"Moreover, by developing the Golden State, we can have a larger layout. We can even use this to wipe out all the aristocratic families."
Hearing this, Li Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he quickly asked: "Sixth brother, I wonder if you have any clever ideas? Tell me quickly?"
Li Min couldn't help but said: "Brother Emperor, my brother's solution is that brother Huang can give the Golden State as a reward to me."
"Then my brother will send manpower to develop the Golden State."
"Then, after the development reaches a certain level, we can film the richness of the Golden State into a video and promote it in Datang."
"When people from those aristocratic families know that there are such rich places overseas, does the Emperor think that they will not be tempted?"
Will you be unmoved?
Definitely not!
Wolves can’t change from eating meat, dogs can’t change from eating shit!
Given the greedy nature of those aristocratic families, if there really was such fertile land, how could they remain indifferent?
When the time comes, they will naturally become greedy.
Li Ke couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face, but there were still some clues in it that he hadn't figured out yet.
"Sixth brother, these aristocratic families are greedy by nature. If they find such a fertile land, they will definitely covet it."
"In your opinion, after making them greedy, what should we do next?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Brother Emperor, no matter how fertile this land is, in terms of reputation, it belongs to my brother."
"If they want to go, it's not impossible, just let them give up the land in exchange!"
"The more land they take out, the more overseas resources they can exchange for."
"And when they acquire land in the Golden State and start operating it, they will definitely find where the profits will be very high."
"Wherever there are rich mineral resources and extremely rich resources, they will definitely increase their investment further."
"The most important thing is to allow them to grow their ambitions. They will definitely want to build a country in the Golden State."
"Step by step, they will transfer all their assets in Datang to the Golden State."
"And the emperor brother can take advantage of the opportunity to take back all their land step by step."
"At that time, the power of these aristocratic families will basically be transferred to the Golden State, and the emperor brother can take the opportunity to make changes."
"At that time, the land will be returned to the state. All people will be allocated farmland according to their capita."
"Common people only have the right to cultivate farmland, but not ownership. After a person dies, the land is still owned by the state."
"In this way, people will not be able to buy and sell land. Because the land is not their own."
"In this way, land annexation can be prevented."
Li Min's long speech gave Emperor Li Ke a feeling of enlightenment.
His eyes became brighter and brighter to prevent him from missing the important points.
He even quickly picked up a pen and wrote down all the key points.
Since ancient times, the demise of dynasties has basically been due to land annexation.
This problem, after so many dynasties, has never found a good solution.
And now, the sixth brother really came up with a perfect solution.
Moreover, as long as the premises proposed by Sixth Brother can be fulfilled, they are feasible and can really be accomplished.
If this problem could be solved, not to mention that the Tang Dynasty would be prosperous for thousands of generations.
But at least, it can last for a few hundred more years.
Could he not be excited after hearing this?
…
After walking out of the palace, Li Min got on the four-wheeled carriage and felt as if he was returning home.
It had been more than half a year since he had seen his wife, children, and children. At this time, Li Min could not wait to fly to them.
Chang'an Street is becoming more and more prosperous.
The streets are lined with row upon row of pedestrians.
The four-wheeled carriage couldn't move either, and Li Min was extremely anxious.
Finally, the four-wheeled carriage arrived in front of the Shu Palace.
Princess Qin Mengxin and several other ladies have been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time.
The little guys' faces were all red from the cold.
After Li Min couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, Princess Qin Mengxin stepped forward excitedly.
When the other ladies saw Li Min, their moods were agitated and they couldn't suppress their longing.
However, they all stood quietly, leaving this opportunity to Princess Qin Mengxin.
However, in the end, someone took the lead.
Li Rong, Li Baoyu, Li Haoran, Li Rui, Li Xiang, and more than a dozen little guys, had already rushed over impatiently.
"Daddy, daddy, hug, hug!"
"Daddy, hold me, hold me!"
"Dad, I miss you so much. Look, my little belly is so full!"
"I miss you so much, Dad! Hug me!"
Li Min grinned and agreed.
He picked up one in each hand, but there were still many little ones on the left and right, holding his legs, asking for hugs and kisses.
Li Min had no choice but to squat down and put the two little guys on the ground.
One by one, communicate with the little ones.
I have to say that having more children can sometimes be a worry.
For example, there is a little carrot head holding his little head up and asking excitedly:
To be continued...
