The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment after hearing Liu Sheng's words, then he realized something and asked with shining eyes, "Father, are you talking about Mughal?"

Liu Sheng said, "Not only the subcontinent where the Mughals are, but also not all the countries in Europe are powerful. The lives of the common people there are far worse than those in Dalai, and even worse than those of the people in the former Ming Dynasty."

“After you establish your country, it will be very easy to recruit immigrants from Europe or from the subcontinent.”

"Of course, the population of Indochina, Japan, and Eastern Qing are also very good choices."

"Especially in Indochina, although Dalai's rule there is mainly based on education, it also needs to be supplemented by immigration measures. Immigrating Han people there, relocating the indigenous people, and changing the original population ratio of each ethnic group."

"If you migrate more people other than the Han people from Indochina, it will be considered as helping your brother."

Liu Wei and Liu Yu heard this and said together, "Thank you, Father, for your guidance."

Then, Liu Sheng talked about some things that need to be paid attention to when establishing a country overseas.

Such as how to develop various industries as quickly as possible, how to naturalize the natives, how to deal with Western colonists, etc.

Some of them were the experiences Liu Sheng summarized when he developed the other side of North America, and some of them were the "knowledge" he read on the Internet before he traveled through time.

It can be said that the two sons benefited greatly, and even Liu Rui felt that he had learned a lot.

···
However, after Li Dingguo, Shen Wandeng and Helian Yue left the Forbidden City, they agreed to meet at Shen Wandeng's residence in the evening.

This time, of course, the discussion was about overseas fiefdoms.

Helian Yue had already decided to go overseas to establish a country, so he asked, "Have you two decided where to establish your country?"

Shen Wandeng said, "I am already old and it is impossible for me to go to the battlefield again. Although my sons are not incompetent, none of them are really outstanding. They can only be considered mediocre."

"Therefore, I want to go to Australia, where Westerners have not yet set foot. It is close to the mainland, so it is more convenient for transporting immigrants and supplies."

"Australia?" Helian Yue shook his head with a look of disdain. "Not only is the place itself not big enough, but it is said that many places on it are deserts or barren lands."

"Besides, since it is close to Dalai, its future development may be hindered. Dalai now occupies almost every archipelago in the South Pacific and has established several development zones in Australia."

"If we build a country there, it may be restricted in 20 or 30 years and it will be difficult to become a great country."

Shen Wandeng said indifferently, "I don't have any big ambitions, and neither do my descendants. It would be great if we could become a royal family of a small country and pass it on for two or three hundred years."

"Brother Dingguo, what do you think?" Helian Yue asked Li Dingguo again.

Li Dingguo said, "What I want to go to most is North America, but the court has established many development zones on the west coast of North America, so there are not many options."

"So, if there are no good options in North America, I might go to South America - although Westerners are powerful in South America, I am confident that I can deal with them."

"Hahaha," Helian Yue laughed, "Brother Dingguo and I have the same idea, but I think it's best to choose South America directly."

"We can find two more princes, go to that place together, and join hands to drive away the Westerners."

"The imperial court currently only has a few supply stations and some observation points on the west coast of South America, and there is only one development zone. If we go there, it will be a vast world with great potential!"

"···"

In the next three days, the nine handsome princes openly arranged to meet each other, have meals and communicate with each other.

As for private communication, there were more exchanges on this matter with the staff and personal relatives in the palace.

On the second day, someone even contacted famous businessmen in Nanjing to discuss cooperation.

As a result, the news that the imperial court wanted to enfeoff nine princes and two dukes to serve as fiefs overseas spread to the public and became a hot topic. Officials, students, and ordinary people all started discussing it.

"The imperial court is really generous in distributing fiefs to nine princes and two dukes at once, and these are real fiefs."

"It can't be considered a real fief, isn't it? Didn't it say that the princes and nobles can go overseas to expand their fiefdoms? They have to fight for their own territory." "With our current military strength, who can fight overseas? Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain were all defeated by us, and the natives were even more vulnerable. It's easy for the princes and nobles to go overseas to conquer territory."

"I'm so envious! I wish I were a prince, so I could establish a country overseas!"

"Tsk, you look like a coward, and you think you can compete with the prince? They are all founding generals, they are all stars from heaven who have come down to earth."

"Don't look down on me - these princes and nobles will definitely recruit people if they want to build a country overseas. I will sign up and definitely earn a place as a nobleman in a fallen country!"

"···"

Because the court has not officially announced the matter and it is a national event, it is currently only discussed by the people and the newspapers have not reported it casually.

Just like that, three days later, the nine princes and the two dukes came to Wuying Palace again.

This time, there were several more screens in the main hall of Wuying Palace, each with a map hanging on it.

Australia, North America, South America, and Africa are all on the list.

Liu Gaosheng sat on the dragon throne, looked at the princes and asked, "Three days have passed. My dear ministers, you should have decided whether to go overseas to serve as a vassal, and where to choose to serve as a vassal, right?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Liu Sheng then asked, "Is there any of you who would not want to be a vassal abroad?"

No one answered.

Liu Sheng smiled, "It seems that all of you want to develop overseas. Well, let's go straight to the stage of selecting a fiefdom."

"It's still the rules stated in the white book that day. You can only choose from the four continents of Australia, North America, South America, and Africa. In addition, the starting point of the fiefdom cannot be within a thousand miles of the imperial court development zone."

"Liu Wei, Liu Yu, you two should come up and choose first, and set an example for the uncles."

Hearing Liu Sheng letting Liu Wei and Liu Yu choose their fiefdoms first, Peng Youyi, Huang Gan and Helian Yue, three straightforward princes, opened their mouths to speak, but after thinking about it, they didn't say anything.

After all, Liu Sheng is also a human being, and as a human being, he has selfish desires.

Liu Sheng allowed them to establish a country overseas and gave them a lot of support, which was already generous. Now it is reasonable for him to show a little favoritism and let his two sons choose first.

Of course, this is also because Liu Sheng now has few sons who are qualified to be enfeoffed overseas. If there were several, or even more than a dozen, the good places might have been chosen first, and Peng Youyi and others would definitely protest.

After all, in terms of merit, they are much greater than Liu Wei and Liu Yu who came later.

Under the watchful eyes of the nine princes, Liu Wei and Liu Yu did not act pretentiously. They stood up one after another and did as they had said that day, choosing somewhere along the coast of northern Mexico or South Africa in later generations as the starting point of their fiefdom.

Seeing that the two were chosen so quickly, the princes from other families were not surprised.

Then I started to think about the advantages of the two people choosing two places.

Before they could think about it, Liu Sheng said, "All the princes have made great contributions to our Dalai. It's not easy to argue who has made greater contributions. So, the order of selecting fiefs this time will be decided by drawing lots. How about that?"

Although a few thought they had made the greatest contributions among all the kings, most people thought drawing lots was a good idea.

So they responded one after another, "We will follow your majesty's arrangements."

Afterwards, Liu Sheng asked a guard to bring the folded paper signs, put them in a box and shuffle them, then pour them into a tray and take them to the nine princes to choose from.

Since it was a draw, there was no need to follow any order, and the nine princes finished drawing their names quickly.

Liu Sheng asked with a smile, "Who drew number one?" (End of this chapter)
