Chapter 646: Eighteen Changes of Women's University
The world outside is very big, and they can conquer a large territory in the future.
Then build countries one by one on these territories.
These countries will be inherited by their children in the future.
The place outside is huge, and it is impossible to completely unify it.
Therefore, everywhere, there will be people to inherit.
Therefore, the husband's children do not need to kill each other or fight over each other.
Everyone can inherit a region.
The only difference lies in the quality of the region.
With Wu Meiniang's intelligence, she certainly knew what her husband meant when he said these things to her.
And she, in fact, had not thought about her son before.
Wu Meiniang in this life is not the domineering Empress Wu Zetian in the original historical trajectory.
In front of Li Min, she had no chance to seize power.
Therefore, Wu Meiniang in this life considers her son wholeheartedly.
But now after listening to her husband's words, how could Wu Meiniang not know that all her little thoughts were actually seen through by her husband.
At this time, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
In fact, it was not that Wu Meiniang had not thought about it carefully.
But now, Wu Meiniang is secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, my little thoughts are just little thoughts.
Didn't take action.
If she takes action, she may not be able to bear the consequences.
In front of your husband, you should never make any small moves.
Wu Meiniang suddenly hugged Li Min tightly, and then took the initiative to raise her head...
…
After staying at home for more than ten days, Li Min decided to go to Yizhou.
His team is all in Yizhou now.
Li Min estimated that after this decree was issued, his team in Yizhou would be uneasy.
If he doesn't go to Yizhou, I'm afraid it won't be long before they come to Chang'an to look for him.
The reason why I can't bear to come now is probably because I'm afraid of causing trouble to him.
On this day, Li Min took Li Yuanfang and fifty guards, without notifying them in advance.
The group set off quietly and headed straight for Yizhou.
Half a day later, the train arrived at the station, and the group got off the train and walked out.
Li Yuanfang couldn't help but said to Li Min: "Your Highness, please wait here while I find a carriage."
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "I haven't been to Yizhou for a long time, so let's take a walk!"
Li Yuanfang also smiled and said: "Okay, let's walk there."
Li Min and others walked on the street and found that Yizhou had undergone tremendous changes in just a few years.
Many buildings have never existed before.
There are more people in Yizhou than before, and it is more prosperous than before.
Walking on the street, Li Min felt a familiar and unfamiliar feeling.
When Li Min left Yizhou, Yizhou City was still in a period of vigorous development.
After several years of development, even in later generations, it can be regarded as an international metropolis.
As for the development in the following years, Li Min was not involved at all.
It can be seen that as long as the shelf is set up, it is actually the same whether he exists or not.
This is enough to prove that Shangguan Changshi is competent.
The team he left behind in Yizhou, as well as his administrative management methods, are effective.
Of course, Li Min was lying in his heart when he said he wasn't sour.
Without him, Yizhou would have developed better.
This made Li Min, who single-handedly developed Yizhou, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Walking on the street, Li Min suddenly saw a big white dog running towards them.
The dog jumped up high, and its two long legs suddenly landed on Li Min's shoulders.
Then he enthusiastically stretched out his big, steaming tongue and started to lick Li Min's face.
"Go, go to the side!"
Li Min was disgusted and pushed the old dog aside.
This dog is of course the white dog adopted by Qin Mengxin, named Doudou.
This dog is the business card of Yizhou.
When Li Min left Yizhou, Qin Mengxin wanted to leave with Doudou.
But in the end, Li Min kept it.
Because Doudou and Xiaocai, together with Panpan, have become a business card of Yizhou City.
If Doudou is taken away, Yizhou City will lose a piece of scenery.
Furthermore, Doudou actually has very deep feelings for Yizhou City.
Over the years, Doudou spent every day walking proudly on the streets of Yizhou City.
As for the people in Yizhou City, everyone will say hello to Doudou when they see it.
And Doudou will also nod and greet people.
This is the sacred dog of Yizhou City. It saved a child from a fire scene and even caught a thief.
The child rescued by it has now grown up.
He even worshiped Doudou as his godfather.
In the whole of Yizhou, it can be said that Doudou has a harem of three thousand beauties and countless descendants.
Li Min felt that even though Doudou was a dog.
But it should also have a life of its own.
Therefore, when leaving Yizhou, Li Min left Doudou behind.
But now, after Doudou saw Li Min, she stuck out her tongue excitedly, squealing, and was extremely happy.
They circled around Li Min, shaking their heads and tails, so excited that they almost forgot about it.
Li Min was also very happy to see Doudou.
Doudou is now a bit old and no longer as brave as he used to be.
A dog's life is actually only a dozen years.
For example, in later generations, single old men were called single dogs.
In fact, dogs will die long ago before they reach the age of a single old human man.
Therefore, calling a single dog is actually an insult to the dog...
And Doudou is already sixteen or seventeen years old. If he had been an ordinary dog, he would have died of old age long ago.
As Li Min's pet, Doudou is now a bit old, but it seems that there is no problem in living for another ten or eight years.
Looking at Doudou, Li Min was also very happy and couldn't help but lightly kicked Doudou's belly.
He laughed and scolded: "Look at you, your belly is as round as if you were pregnant for ten months, and you have become a fat ball!"
"In the future, remember to eat less! Sooner or later you will get fat!"
Doudou is really much fatter than when Li Min left.
In recent years, Doudou's food has also increased with the rapid development of Yizhou.
The food he eats is getting better and better, and without Li Min around, he has no control, and he'll be damned if he doesn't gain weight.
In the end, Li Min was wondering why this guy looked so clumsy and old.
Isn't it because of obesity?
"Master, master, are you here, master?"
"Wow hahaha, great, great! Master, I miss you so much!"
"You don't know, Xiaocai has been missing you all the time since you left!"
"Master, look at it quickly, Xiao Cai has lost weight!"
At this time, a colorful rainbow flashed across the sky, and an extremely beautiful, colorful parrot fell from the sky and landed directly on Li Min's shoulder.
This parrot is really too big.
Among the parrots, he definitely stands out.
It is not an exaggeration to even say that it is an eagle.
Li Min also left this parrot in Yizhou.
But when he left, the parrot was crying and gushing sad words. It was like a life-or-death farewell.
In fact, Xiaocai's hometown is also here.
This is probably the most suitable place for it.
This time they met and saw Xiaocai again, Li Min was also filled with tears.
And when I heard Xiaocai calling me master, in addition, Li Min, the king of Shu, had appeared on TV and made movies.
Now the people of the entire Tang Dynasty!
No, even people from several surrounding countries have seen Li Min's glorious image in film and television works.
Now, how could they not recognize that the person in front of them was Li Min, the King of Shu?
Unexpectedly, they actually saw the real King of Shu, alive!
So, people began to greet Li Min, and Li Min didn't have any airs.
No matter who greeted him, Li Min would always wave.
As a result, more and more people came forward to say hello to Li Min.
Li Min didn't mind the trouble, nor was he impatient at all.
While saying this to the people, he walked forward.
As a result, when Li Min just walked into Yizhou City, he saw Shangguan Yi leading officials of all sizes from Yizhou to greet him.
Shangguan Yi, who was far away, strode forward and saluted: "I bring my colleagues to pay homage to His Highness. I don't know that Your Majesty is here, but I am not so far away to greet you. I hope Your Highness will forgive you!"
Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "I am afraid that if you know about it, it will delay your affairs, so I deliberately did not notify you in advance!"
"I didn't expect that I still alarmed you! This time, I came to Yizhou just to relax, but there is no official business! You are busy with your business, so leave me alone!"
"By the way, Shangguan Changshi, there are some things that I want to know from you. Please come with me!"
Shangguan Yi took a deep look at Li Min, then waved his hand and ordered all other officials to go back to work.
Then, Shangguan Yi followed Li Min and went directly to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
Although Li Min left Yizhou, there were naturally people cleaning the courtyard in the Shu Palace every day.
When they arrived at the study, the two of them sat down as guests and hosts in the study. After the maid brought tea, they were sent out by Li Min.
After reminiscing for a while, Li Min couldn't help but smile and said: "Shangguan Changshi, you must be anxious these days, right?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have really seen everything through this period of time! If Your Highness doesn't come again, I have already prepared to take a trip to Chang'an."
Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "I am afraid that you will be impatient, so I came to Yizhou in advance."
Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what I'm thinking. I'm just waiting for Your Highness to come and clear up my confusion."
Li Min picked up the tea, took a slow sip, and then said: "In fact, I have told you about this matter before."
"This time the fiefdom was transferred to the Golden State. It was actually the king who applied for it himself."
"You should understand my king's situation. The credit is too great, so I have to reward him, but I am faced with the dilemma of having no reward."
"As for the Golden State, the land is fertile and the area is no less than that of the Tang Dynasty."
"There are only a few indigenous people there now. If we don't occupy it now, sooner or later someone will occupy it."
"And relying on the fertile land, they may develop very quickly. When the time comes, they will definitely pose a threat to our country, the Tang Dynasty."
"In that case, it's better for us to occupy it."
"After arriving in the Golden State, we can become our own country, and then we and the Tang Dynasty will always be brothers."
"However, it can be said that the current Golden State has no foundation at all and is completely starting from scratch."
"Shangguan Changshi should consider whether to go to the Golden State to expand the territory? Or stay in the Tang Dynasty."
"If you want to go to the Golden State, you will be the prime minister in the future."
"If Shangguan Changshi is willing to stay in the Tang Dynasty, I will recommend you to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely use you. A prime minister cannot run away."
"Shangguan Changshi, you don't have to rush to answer this matter. It won't be too late to tell me when you have figured it out."
After Li Min finished speaking, Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness, I will be your Highness's servant for the rest of my life. As long as Your Highness doesn't chase me away, I will always follow Your Highness for the rest of my life."
Li Min said seriously: "Shangguan Changshi, this matter is not only related to yourself, but also to your family. You must consider it carefully."
Shangguan Yi said categorically: "Your Highness, everything I have is given by Your Highness. Without Your Highness, I will be nothing more than a poor scholar."
"A man dies for a confidant, and a woman dies for a man who pleases her. What's more, my subordinates are more willing to accept challenges and are willing to create a powerful, brand-new empire from scratch."
Hearing Shangguan Yi's answer, Li Min couldn't help but be overjoyed.
In his heart, he naturally hoped that Shangguan Yi could always follow him.
Li Min is very familiar with Shangguan Yi's abilities.
With him, Li Min can have a lot more heart.
Shangguan Yi asked again: "Your Highness, when will we go to the Golden State? In fact, with the current strength of our Chinese Commercial Bank, there is no problem in building a city in the Golden State first."
"After building a city, we can slowly rely on this city to expand outward. It feels like we can build a huge empire in less than a hundred years."
Population and resource issues will severely restrict construction.
The hundred years mentioned by Shangguan Yi are actually too little.
After hearing this, Li Min smiled slightly and said, "Why does it take so long?"
Shangguan Yi said hesitantly: "Your Highness, but now, our population is seriously insufficient! I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to develop rapidly, right?"
Li Min laughed and said: "It would be difficult if we were alone! However, we actually have a lot of helpers. I think any aristocratic family would be willing to do their best to help us."
What?
Which aristocratic families are willing to help us?
Your Highness, are you sure what you said is not irony?
The hatred between those aristocratic families and us is simply unending and will last until death.
It would be great if they don't hold us back. Will they still help us?
Or the one who puts all his effort into it?
Your Highness, are you still awake?
Seemingly seeing the confusion in Shangguan Yi's eyes, Li Min smiled and said: "Shangguan Chang Shi, if we ask them for help, they will naturally refuse."
"But what if we gave them a chance to build their own country overseas as well?"
"Shangguan Changshi, do you think they have any ambition to build a country?"
Li Min's words couldn't help but make Shangguan Yi's heart beat.
Yes, I have!
So much!
The foundation of these aristocratic families is no weaker than that of a country.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, do they really have no ambition to build a country?
Of course there is, but what they lack is actually just an opportunity.
And now, as long as they are given a chance, I wonder, will they refuse?
The answer must be no.
In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the five surnames and Qi Wang, there were many aristocratic families.
Li Min didn't believe that these aristocratic families would have no ambitions.
As long as you give them hope of success, I believe they will not be able to resist this temptation.
With their participation, the progress of construction can be greatly accelerated.
After the construction of these aristocratic families is successful, then...
This move is really wonderful.
Moreover, Shangguan Yi also thought of something deeper.
For example, if all these aristocratic families could leave.
For Datang, it was certainly a loss.
Because the departure of these aristocratic families will inevitably take away a large amount of wealth.
But it is also a big opportunity for Datang.
Because these aristocratic families were like maggots to the Tang Dynasty.
It has reached the point where it is too big to swing.
Now is a good time to get rid of them.
Therefore, the more Shangguan Yi thought about it, the more he felt that this strategy was really wonderful.
Of course, there are many things that need to be planned in this matter.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, when will we set off for the Golden State?"
Li Min smiled and said: "Recently, I will take out three giant ships and go there for the first time, trying to recruit more than ten thousand people."
"Transporting tens of thousands of tons of goods to the Golden State for construction. Moreover, we will not only go to the Golden State first, but also to a small island in the south."
"When the time comes, I will give you a map and send scientific researchers to where to extract oil."
"At the same time, after we go to the Golden State, we need to send people to take pictures of our construction progress. In particular, the harvest level of the land must be focused on publicity."
"Only when those aristocratic families can see that the land is far more fertile than that of the Tang Dynasty, will they be moved and turn their thoughts into actions."
The oil-exploiting island Li Min mentioned is Venezuela, which currently has the fifth largest oil reserves.
Of course, at that time, this country did not exist at all, and the area was still deserted, with only a group of indigenous people.
The reason why Li Min chose this fifth place is because he is very close to the Golden State.
For large-scale development, oil is an essential resource.
Of course, if a city is to be developed in the shortest possible time, it requires a large amount of resources to support it.
In terms of resources, after more than ten years of development, China Commercial Bank can be said to have gathered huge funds.
Even compared with other aristocratic families, it is not far behind, and even surpasses it.
There is no way, because every business done by China Commercial Bank is a monopoly business.
Even banknotes are issued by China Commercial Bank. Even those aristocratic families cannot compare with China Commercial Bank.
Of course, due to the lack of modern equipment, it is a bit difficult to develop a city.
Therefore, this time, Li Min decided to purchase a large number of modern equipment from the prodigal subsystem.
After all, Li Min has not used the mall for a long time.
Because technology develops very quickly, under normal circumstances, Li Min doesn't need to buy it again.
This also led to him accumulating an astronomical amount of money.
This time when he went to the Golden State, Li Min decided to buy three giant ships first, and the three giant ships would travel back and forth between Datang and the Golden State to continuously transport goods.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but said to Shangguan Yi: "Shangguan Chang Shi, this time, you first select the people who are willing to go to the Golden State to open up wasteland."
"This group of people needs all kinds of officials, technicians, teachers, and medical talents. In short, they are needed from all walks of life."
"As long as they are willing to go, we will offer them generous terms."
"As for the backup export of materials, China Commercial Bank will fully support it."
"We strive to build a grand city in the Golden State within three years. Let all aristocratic families see the development potential of the Golden State!"
Shangguan Yi said seriously: "Your Highness, you can safely leave this matter to your subordinates! I promise to complete the task!"
Next, Shangguan Yi discussed the details with Li Min and left impatiently.
For Shangguan Yi, what he pursues now is more than just a high official position and a generous salary.
If he stays, with the recommendation of the King of Shu, there is absolutely no doubt that he will take the position of prime minister.
But such a life is not challenging at all.
What Shangguan Yi wants is the sense of accomplishment and pride that comes from creating an empire from scratch, through one's own efforts.
Therefore, he chose to follow Li Min without hesitation.
Now, we can't wait to start this work.
As for Li Min, he ordered someone to move a wicker chair and place it in the yard.
There was a table beside him with tea, fruits and snacks on it.
Li Min was alone, drinking tea leisurely and thinking about things.
There are many things that need to be prepared to develop the Golden State.
Some urgent supplies must be available as soon as possible.
Otherwise, a lot of time will be wasted.
Now, Li Min is preparing a list of these supplies.
At this moment, Li Min suddenly heard a voice coming from outside.
"Panpan, let's go!"
This is a clear and sweet girl's voice.
It is as clear and sweet as the chirping of orioles coming from among the green branches and leaves.
Following the sound, soon, a girl wearing an emerald green dress entered the yard riding a giant panda.
This giant panda is so big, it almost looks like a bear.
However, because of its huge body and black and white color, it does not reduce its cuteness at all.
