After laughing, Han Du continued: "Luzon is indeed a good place. It is extremely rich in various minerals and food. The emperor will never abandon such a place. The emperor asked last time
Let's talk about how to deal with this Luzon."
"How did you get back to the emperor?" Lan Yu asked carelessly and without any scruples.
However, these messages were not palace secrets, so Han Du also spoke out frankly.
"Our suggestion to the emperor is to establish a governor."
After Han Du finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile.
It's a pity that Lan Yu and others looked at each other and didn't know what the governor was. .??.
"Governor? What is a governor?" Wang Bi asked puzzledly.
Han Du glanced at everyone and said word by word: "The person who takes over the military and political power of a place is the governor."
this!
Lan Yu and others couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their heartbeats could not help but accelerate. They were unfamiliar with the governor, but they were very familiar with military and political power. Taking over the military and political power of a place, isn't this equivalent to being a local emperor.
However, after getting excited, Wang Bi suddenly calmed down and asked: "How can the emperor agree?"
Yes, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to it.
Several people immediately calmed down, and their previous eagerness disappeared. There was no way the emperor would agree, so what's the use of getting excited again? Moreover, Luzon is isolated overseas, thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. If you go there, you can see it no matter what you look at.
A feeling of being exiled.
Han Du nodded and said with a smile: "The emperor did not agree directly, but said that he would consider it carefully."
Will you consider it? That means the emperor may agree?
But this time, few people were not excited. The reason why they were excited just now was because the governor combined military and political power. At first glance, it sounded very impressive. But now that I think about it carefully, going to Luzon to be the governor? This is comparable in all aspects overseas.
Can't reach Ming Dynasty.
In line with the mentality of preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, except for Zhu Shou, the others were somewhat resistant.
After all, no one without any courage would really dare to leave the colorful world of the capital and go overseas to the wilderness.
"I originally suggested to the emperor to send officials, but I guess those civil servants did not have the courage to go to Luzon." Han Du explained patiently: "After all, Luzon is alone overseas. If something happens, it will be beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty. Everything will be done.
We can rely on the governor to make a decision with just one word. Moreover, the local natives are fierce, so those civil servants may be frightened and retreat when they hear this."
Seeing that Han Du had reduced the courage of the civil servants to nothing, several people burst out laughing. They had also been suppressed by the civil servants and were filled with anger. Now that they could vent their anger, they were naturally happy.
"But your brothers are different. You have experienced hundreds of battles. Even the fierce elite Yuan soldiers were defeated by your brothers and fled. Those natives are no match for you at all." Han Du boasted without leaving any trace.
A handful of people.
Lan Yu and others are naturally very useful. Compared with the elite Yuan soldiers, the so-called natives are just a bunch of chickens and dogs to them.
You must know that these few people in front of you, even Zhang Yi and Zhu Shou who have not been granted the title of marquis, are all fierce generals in the Ming army.
Speaking of this, Zhu Shou also understood and asked with a frown: "Han
What do you mean, brother, do you want me to take over the position of governor?"
Han Du nodded.
Luzon is thousands of miles away, and the people who rule it are local people. Doesn’t Zhu Shou’s nephew like to bully the people? Then let him bully the local people. Anyway, these people are not Ming people, and there is no point in bullying them.
Not to mention the psychological burden, Zhu Shou was still the local governor and could make decisions with a single word, so he could easily protect his nephew.
Moreover, as long as they are not bullying the people of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that even if someone sues Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu will not care.
Zhu Shou's brows furrowed even more tightly. He wanted to win a title immediately, but now he had to go overseas with no chance to make meritorious deeds. This made him very unwilling. But on the other hand, his nephew
It is indeed difficult to discipline him. If he continues to stay in the Ming Dynasty, he may cause trouble one day and the whole family will be imprisoned. At that time, let alone being enfeoffed immediately, whether the whole family's heads can be saved is a question.
Although Zhu Shou fought with the emperor to conquer the world, the emperor never showed mercy when he killed those who conquered the world. He did not think that he would be an exception in front of the emperor.
For a moment, Zhu Shou kept weighing things in his mind and couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing this, Han Du had no choice but to add fuel to the fire and said, "Being a governor is not without its benefits."
Zhu Shou immediately paused in his heart and already had a rough idea. But since Han Du said it was beneficial, he naturally wanted to ask clearly. He clasped his fist towards Han Du and said, "Brother Han, please speak clearly."
Han Du continued: "At the beginning, the emperor was also afraid that none of the officials would be willing to go overseas, so he asked what should be done. I then advised the emperor that the governor's term was five years, and the purpose of the governor overseas was to gather wealth for the Ming Dynasty.
In these five years, no matter how much wealth the governor turned over to the Ming Dynasty each year, the Ming Dynasty would reward the governor with 10% of it as an encouragement."
"Is the emperor's approval?" It was related to his own interests, so Zhu Shou naturally asked hurriedly.
Han Du shook his head and said: "The emperor did not nod, he only said that he would consider it."
"Yicheng" Lan Yu couldn't help but interject, "If I can get as much as you sent to the palace in five years, it would be a huge fortune." Thinking of the gold and silver treasures that Han Du sent to the palace, she couldn't help but interrupt.
Even Lan Yu couldn't sit still.
Han Du sneered and explained: "That's impossible! There is a reason why I was able to get so much in the first place. Moreover, it was Luzon's accumulation over more than a hundred years, and I definitely won't get that much now.
But it won’t be less. According to my estimation, there is still a chance that one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver will fall into the hands a year.”
One hundred thousand taels a year, and five hundred thousand taels in five years. A governor who earns five hundred thousand taels is really worth a thousand taels.
Zhu Shou suddenly sweated from his nervous forehead. While fighting for the title of Marquis immediately, he worked hard for five years. Not only did he avoid his nephew from getting into trouble, but he was also able to make a huge fortune.
Not only Zhu Shou, but others were also moved.
Zhang Yi was better off, and he also wanted to be granted the title of Marquis immediately. Therefore, after weighing the situation, he still felt that a hereditary and replaceable Marquis was better, so he did not pay too much attention to the position of the governor.
But two people like Wang Bi and Cao Zhen were very excited. They were already marquises, and their hope of becoming dukes in this life was very slim. It can be said that being marquises was the pinnacle of their lives. Once they had the power and position, they were now short of money.
.In this case, the position of the governor is very attractive to them. After laughing, Han Du continued: "Luzon is indeed a good place. It is extremely rich in various minerals and food.
.The emperor will never abandon a place like this. Last time the emperor asked us how to deal with this Luzon."
"How did you get back to the emperor?" Lan Yu asked carelessly and without any scruples.
