"Father."

Liu Wei and Liu Yu saluted Liu Sheng again.

Liu Sheng said, "We are all family, no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Father."

After the two sat down, Liu Sheng didn't speak for a while.

Both of them inherited some of his looks, but Liu Wei's face was more feminine, while Liu Yu was relatively shorter but more sturdy and strong.

Liu Wei was 27 years old and Liu Yu was 25 years old. Both were young men in good shape and vigor.

In addition, he was born into a royal family and received a good education since childhood. Later, he joined the army and experienced large and small naval and land battles. He was promoted to Duke through his merits, and naturally developed an extraordinary temperament.

If he were placed in later female novels, he would be either the male protagonist, the second male lead, the third male lead, or an important male villain.

However, given their ordinary backgrounds, it is impossible for them to become dukes at this age in today's Dalai.

Therefore, the two were able to be conferred the title of Duke. Ability was one aspect, but the most important thing was Liu Rui’s partial appointment, promotion, and ennoblement in the past few years.

After coming to his senses, Liu Sheng said, "Although you will be sent overseas together with the nine foreign princes, the royal family will also provide you with one million yuan in funding for the establishment of the country."

"In addition, we will sell you 3,000 sets of firearms and other equipment that were replaced by the Royal Guards."

"Finally, we will give you a list of retired Royal Guards soldiers. You can recruit retired Royal Guards soldiers according to the list."

Liu Wei and Liu Yu were delighted when they heard this, and couldn't help but stand up and bow again, "Thank you, father!"

Liu Sheng said, "Don't just thank me, you also have to thank your eldest brother, after all, he is the head of Dalai now. In addition, he has put a lot of effort into making you become Dukes at such a young age."

Liu Wei and Liu Yu knew about this, and although they had a good relationship with Liu Rui, they still thanked Liu Rui.

Liu Rui smiled and said, "With this support, it should be much easier for the two royal brothers to establish their country overseas."

"Of course, as the emperor said before, the choice of where to build the country is the most important. My two brothers, please share your ideas and listen to the emperor's opinion."

After saying that, Liu Rui signaled to the guards in the hall to move the screen with the map hanging on it to a nearby location.

Liu Wei stood up at Liu Sheng's signal, walked to the map, pointed at a certain place, and said, "Father, brother, I want to be enfeoffed here!"

Liu Sheng looked and saw that Liu Wei was referring to the northern region of Mexico in later generations.

Liu Rui frowned slightly and said, "This place was originally ruled by the Aztecs, one of the native peoples of North America. It was once a large slave state, but it was destroyed by the Spanish more than a hundred years ago."

"Now Mexico has been ruled by the Spanish for about 150 years, and they have managed the region into an important silver production and plantation area, and established the Viceroyalty of Mexico."

"If Sixth Brother wants to establish a country in the north of Mexico, he will have to face the threat from the Spanish. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Spain has long been on the decline. Back when my father was in power, we drove it out of Southeast Asia with our navy and army."

"In recent years, they have fought against us in South America and suffered several defeats. Although our army has not yet involved Central America, we will surely win if we fight them."

Liu Rui also laughed after hearing this and said, "Sixth brother, how did you know that our army would definitely enter Central America in the next few years?"

Liu Wei pointed to the Panama region of the future and said, "My father once said that a canal could be dug here to serve as a vital passage for traffic between the Atlantic and the Atlantic Oceans."

"Central America has such an important strategic location. Since Dalai has set foot in America, how could he not try to control it?"

"To put it another way, even if the imperial army does not enter Central America within ten years, I have the confidence to establish a country north of Mexico with 5,000 troops!"

Liu Rui nodded and said, "Sixth brother, you are indeed very thoughtful. Seventh brother, where do you want to be granted fiefdom?"

Liu Yu also came forward and said, "I want to establish a country here!" Liu Sheng took a look and saw that Liu Yu was pointing to the location of South Africa in later generations.

Liu Rui shook his head when he saw this. "Seventh brother, you are also very ambitious. According to the intelligence from the African Infowind, the Dutch have been colonizing there for more than 20 years."

"Although their influence is not as deep-rooted as that of the Spanish in South America, it is still not small. Most importantly, it is not far from Europe and is also a major maritime route between Asia and Europe..."

Having said this, Liu Rui stopped, but his meaning was self-evident.

This place is valued not only by European powers, but also by Dalai.

At present, Dalai’s reclamation sites and development zones in Africa are mainly in the eastern part of Africa. South Africa has not yet been involved, but it will be there sooner or later, perhaps even within this decade.

Liu Yu's choice of this place to establish his fiefdom made things difficult for him.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "I am targeting the interior of South Africa. As for the coastal areas, I can make an agreement with my brother first - I only need this area as an outlet to the sea."

As he spoke, Liu Yu drew a line on the coastal area of ​​South Africa on the map of Africa.

Liu Sheng took a look and found that it was mainly the later Port Elizabeth and the area two or three hundred miles east and west.

Liu Rui looked at it in silence for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "You can make the decision now - if you don't want him to be a vassal here, you can just ask him to move to another place. There is still a lot of room in the world."

Liu Rui thought about it and still did not deny Liu Yu's choice.

Even if the fiefdom established by Liu Yu had a dispute with Dalai one day, that would be a hundred years later.

He will not be around a hundred years from now, and by then the Great Empire will have countless problems, so one more overseas problem will not be a big deal - he believes in the wisdom of future generations.

On the other hand, if future generations cannot even solve this small problem, then more serious problems in the country will certainly not be solved, and the country will be on the verge of destruction.

After they both chose their fiefs, they looked at Liu Sheng and said together, "Please give us your guidance, Father!"

Liu Sheng said: "Wuji chose northern Mexico, which is indeed a good place with great potential for becoming a kingdom. But you have been weak since childhood. Although you later practiced martial arts to strengthen your body and did not show any signs of weakness, your foundation must be weaker than that of your brothers."

"If you go to that place in northern Mexico, I won't say much about other things. The most important thing is to take care of your body and not to contract any incurable diseases."

"When you go to be conferred the title, ask your brother to help you recruit a few more famous doctors to follow you, okay?"

Liu Wei was moved by what he heard and responded, "Thank you, Father, for your advice. I understand."

Liu Sheng looked at Liu Yu again and said, "South Africa is also a good place, but there is one thing you need to be careful about. Don't let your country of Yue be filled with black people a hundred years later."

Liu Yu was confused and asked, "Why did Father say that?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Although you had biology classes in middle school, you probably didn't learn about genetics. Black genes have a strong influence, and if they intermarry with people of other skin colors, there may always be black people among their descendants."

Liu Yu imagined a scene a hundred years later where his Dai Viet Kingdom would be populated by black people, even the royal children would be black, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He immediately asked: "How should I solve this problem? Do I have to go to America as well?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "This is easy. After you establish your country, you only need to enact laws to prohibit immigrants from marrying black people."

"In addition, if we are more extreme, we can also drive out all the black people in the sealed country and not accept them as citizens."

Liu Yu said with difficulty, "Those of us who have been granted fiefdoms overseas can only recruit 100,000 immigrants from the country, and the development of the country requires a lot of labor. Black people are an excellent choice. It is not practical to want to have no black people in the country."

Liu Sheng laughed and said, "The country only allows 100,000 immigrants, but can't you immigrate white or yellow people from other places?" (End of this chapter)
