Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 152 Zhu Biao's Fief Selection!

In fact, according to the current thinking of these people, people like Zhu Biao who can choose their own fiefdoms will definitely choose areas like Guanzhong or the Central Plains.

why?
Because Guanzhong is fertile and the Central Plains is rich!
But actually?
Because of the Little Ice Age, climate changes have actually occurred in many places in Guanzhong and the Central Plains in recent years.

First, it's getting colder.

Of course, the impact of the weather is not that big now.

After all, people can still survive if the temperature drops by one or two degrees.

However, climate change and the meteorological changes brought about cannot be ignored.

For example, in recent years, places that have often suffered from drought are fertile lands like this.

For example, there was a drought in Guanzhong.

Moreover, more than a dozen counties were affected at once.

At this time, Zhu Biao asked Zhu Ping to help him choose a fiefdom.

Moreover, Zhu Biao also said that his fiefdom would be handed over to Zhu Ping to manage and develop it.

On the one hand, Zhu Biao saw Zhu Ming's ability.

After all, a poor Lingnan could be developed to its current scale by Zhu Chong.

As for Zhu Biao himself, due to physical reasons, he is now afraid of the cold and even the dark at night. If he wants to live well, he can no longer leave Lingnan.

Because there is electricity here, the lights can be turned on at night to accompany him until dawn.

The climate here is also very pleasant.

For him, the climate in Lingnan is indeed perfect.

So, how could he go anywhere else?
But Lingnan was Zhu Xi's fiefdom.

Zhu Biao didn't want it, and he couldn't have it.

So, he simply asked Zhu Ping to help him choose a fiefdom.

Then, the fief was handed over to Zhu Ping to take care of.

Anyway, I have entrusted Zhu Ping with all my posthumous affairs, so this is not bad.

Moreover, he felt at ease with Zhu Ping helping to take charge of the development of the fiefdom.

After all, Zhu Ping's achievements in Lingnan were all before his eyes.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Yu to help him develop the fief for free.

So Zhu Biao said to Zhu Fang: "Second brother, in the future, my fiefdom and all the tax money will be at your disposal. You only need to leave part of it for your nephews. As for how much to leave... ten years a year. Ten thousand silver should be enough!"

It’s not that Zhu Biao has no ideals.

But in Zhu Biao's opinion, no matter where he chooses as a fiefdom, 10 taels of silver a year is already a lot.

After all, not every place is Lingnan.

Besides, as far as Zhu Biao is concerned, he thinks that money is enough.

10 taels a year, isn’t it enough?

"If only all our brothers could think like you, big brother!"

Zhu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Just now, he didn't give Zhu Biao any face, saying that he was a kind woman!
As a result, Zhu Biao, in turn, gave Zhu Ping such a huge benefit.

It can be seen that Zhu Biao trusts himself very much.

Then Zhu Fang naturally would not lose out to his eldest brother. He immediately asked Yao Guangxiao to get a globe, then pointed to the Penghu Islands above and said: "Brother, if you let me choose a fiefdom, I will definitely choose this place!"

"Penghu Islands?"

Zhu Biao was surprised and said: "Isn't that an overseas place? Moreover, it is said that there has been a lot of unrest in the Southeast Asia recently, and many Japanese pirates have caused trouble. Even the Penghu Islands have become a gathering place for those Japanese pirates!" Zhu Biao said good.

Pirates did indeed appear during the Hongwu period.

Moreover, Zhu Biao's trip to Japan also made some Japanese see the potential of maritime development, so that many Japanese also turned their attention to the sea.

So starting from this year, pirates sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, breeding everywhere in the southeastern waters of the Ming Dynasty.

But because of the power of steamships, Shen Sen, who was in charge of this route, had never encountered pirates.

However, some maritime merchants attached to the Shen family were not so lucky.

Because of this, Shen Sen has sent people more than once to explain to Zhu Ping the situation of pirates rampant in the southeastern waters.

Zhu Biao was with Zhu Xi almost every day, so he naturally heard the news in this regard.

"It's just Japanese pirates, it just happens to be cleared!"

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "This is once again an opportunity to ask for military expenses from those maritime merchants. Brother, don't worry, second brother, can I still cheat you? You can look at the terrain. From a global perspective, Penghu The islands are the gateway to the sea for our Ming Dynasty! The location of the Penghu Islands in the entire southeast is very important. In the future, when our merchants from the Ming Dynasty go to sea, no matter what goods they transport back, their first stop must be in Penghu Stay on the islands. You can imagine how prosperous it will be if you occupy this place!"

The current Penghu Islands still belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the imperial court did not have much control over this isolated island, with Zhu Ping's current strength, he could immediately and completely control the Penghu Islands if he wanted to.

The key is the indigenous people on the islands.

However, since the Southern Song Dynasty, many Central Plains people have migrated to the Penghu Islands to avoid war.

Nowadays, Han people are no longer a minority on the island.

This can solve the problem of governance very well.

At that time, if we promote the integration of cultural customs, this place will be completely under our control.

To be honest, Zhu Cang was a little envious of Zhu Biao for being able to choose his own fiefdom.

Moreover, as long as Zhu Biao dares to ask for the Penghu Islands, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely give them to him.

why?
Because, in the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period, no one really cared about this huge island.

Now Zhu Xi only needs to convince Zhu Biao to choose the Penghu Islands for his fiefdom, and then Zhu Xi can start construction on the islands.

He seems to have seen countless deep-water harbors and docks suitable for building large ships, which have been completed and put into use on the island... He even went to the technology tree to light up high-level shipbuilding technology, and then even conventional power An aircraft carrier might even be built.

If it really comes to this point, wouldn't it mean that he is completely invincible?

"Brother, don't hesitate, just choose this place! Just in time, I will go to Beijing to marry Yun'er soon. Then you will go with me, and then report to my father that you will use the Penghu Islands as your fiefdom."

Zhu Xi was very excited.

Zhu Biao was a little suspicious...

Isn't this me choosing a fiefdom?

Why, second brother, you are happier than me!

"Okay, then I will choose this place! However, in the future, the second brother will have to take over as the elder brother and manage the fiefdom!" Zhu Biao seemed to be afraid that Zhu Ping would regret it.

Otherwise, he didn't even want to choose a fiefdom.

Just rely on Zhu Xi, eat his food, live in his food, and live comfortably in Lingnan.

To live a day is a day.

But now, Zhu Biao decided to help his second brother.

Penghu Islands?

OK, choose here!
