Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The reason why Zheng Kezang wanted to seal up the suzerain was, of course, not to hope that the suzerain could protect the center—in the past dynasties, most of the suzerains added more "chaos" and less escorted them—nor did they hope that the suzerains could balance the internal and external domains. The vassal state is really because of the sparse population in the country, which is not enough to support the simultaneous development of the Northeast, Fusang, and Fangzhang, so it has to be chosen.

Since the development of the Northeast is related to the safety of the local people, it cannot be used by others; and the Fusang mainland is too far away from the mainland, and it is a place where various countries compete for supremacy. The environment is too complicated, and it is really not a good place to house children; Under the control of the Huaxia Navy, the indigenous power is very weak, which is very suitable for enfeoffment.

What, it is said that there is not enough population, how can a thousand vassals colonize the abbot?

In the final analysis, China is not lacking in population, but the distribution of population is seriously unbalanced—including Liaoning, Liaoyang, Changchun, Jinghai, Andong, Songmo, Longjiangbei, Lingbei, and Jibei. The household registration population in Northeast China is less than one million; the provinces and prefectures north of the Yellow River, including Shangjing, Youzhou, Daibei, Hebei, Shanxi, Southern Hebei, and Shandong, have only 900 million people; Longxi, Shaanxi, Shuofang The population of the three northwestern provinces is only 400 million; the eight southwestern provinces including western Sichuan and Yidong have a population of only 700 million; the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Jianghuai, Haixi, and Xijing and Henan have a combined population of less than 600 million; Jinghu, Hunan and Jingzhou have a population of only 700 million. There are only more than 200 million people in the two provinces and one prefecture; the combined population of Dongning, Qiongzhou, Fujian, southern Jiangxi, and eastern Zhejiang is only [-] million; the combined population of Jinlan and Boni is only [-] million. That is to say, Wuchang, Jiangnan, West Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Chaozhou and other places in the central capital have a large population of more than [-] million, but these areas are also the most developed areas in China's industry and commerce. In order to ensure the growth of the domestic economy Zheng Kezang will not allow a large number of people to move out from these provinces and prefectures.

So where does the population needed for the clan to establish a feudal clan come from?Zheng Kezang was counting on the huge servants attached to the clan, just like the attached servants taken away by the inner feudal clan before.In addition, Zheng Kezang is also planning to carry out a long-term cleanup of gang members such as Daxing and Qingpi, local gangsters and beggars in various places. While cleaning up the domestic environment, it can also enrich the colony.

"Do you think that after going to the abbot Dadao, you will look forward to the throne in the future?" After signaling the servants to retreat and close the door of the palace, Zheng Kezang swept his sons with stern eyes. "No, this is the last question I will give you, how to build and maintain a country." Zheng Kezang looked up at the top of the hall and said quietly. "I know this may be counterproductive, but I promised the queen that I will accompany her to travel in the forest after the age of 60, so others don't need to go, you all have to experience it."

Zheng Kezang's words surprised all the princes, and only then did they know that Zheng Kezang had planned to retire, so Zheng Anyang, who came back to his senses, quickly responded: "I dare not violate the kindness of my father. "

Zheng Anze, the eleventh son of the emperor who knows himself as the heir, said: "Father, my son does not want to be the heir of a country, nor does he want to be in politics. You can’t escape this experience.”

Zheng Anze understood clearly, instead of showing his ambition to make other brothers afraid, it is better to express his attitude directly, and he will be a rich and stable prince. They are all occupied, and there is room for their own children and grandchildren to consider. [

Zheng Kezang took a deep look at this son: "I will go if I say so. Are you going against the order, Liu Guan?"

Zheng Kezang's words are harsh, and some people may ask again: if all the older princes are sent to the frontier, there will only be a few underage princes left in Wuchang. Isn't Zheng Kezang afraid of repeating the mistakes of the first emperor?

In fact, Zheng Kezang is really not afraid of similar situations, not to mention that he is still in good health, even if an accident happens, the Huaxia Dynasty with a check and balance mechanism is comparable to the Qin Dynasty, which was covered by Li Si and Zhao Gao at that time, not to mention After driving out Zheng Anyang and Zheng Anyu, the empress Chen Xianqiao also changed from a hidden danger affecting the court's "turmoil" to a helper for maintaining stability. After such additions and subtractions, Zheng Kezang has nothing to worry about.

What?Is it possible that Zheng Andi will not ascend the throne?Please, Zheng Kezang has not announced the successor to the outside world, how can you be sure that it must be Zheng Andi and not someone else?What's more, Zheng Kezang had made a promise to Chen Xianqiao, as long as Zheng Anyang's performance is not bad, Zheng Kezang may not be back on his word.

However, Zheng Anze was intimidated by what Zheng Kezang said.You know, from a certain point of view, Zheng Anze, whose mother is just an ordinary concubine, is not as popular with Zheng Kezang as older princes such as Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang who are qualified to inherit the throne.In addition, when Zheng Anze was living in the palace when he was young, Zheng Kezang happened to be busy fighting abroad, and the father and son did not meet much; after the Zheng family stabilized, he entered the Young Martial Arts Academy and the Naval Academy. , or only see Zheng Kezang once a year; therefore, he is not very close to Zheng Kezang's father.

Therefore, Zheng Anze, who respected Zheng Kezang less and feared more, only thought his father was really angry, and had to kneel down and explain: "I dare not disobey the order, but I am worried that once the abbot Da Dao is ordered to establish an inner feudal clan, Then, isn’t the identity of the minister there going to be disclosed to the public, how can he still gain a foothold in the army in the future.”

"You don't need to worry about this." Although Zheng Anze's words were reasonable, Zheng Kezang didn't take it seriously. "When you return to the country in the future, you can use your status as a prince to enter and leave the army openly. If someone pays too much attention to you because of your status as a prince, you can directly report to me. I want to see who dares to disregard the laws of the country."

This is the point of the talk, Zheng Anze is right, in the future, I can't just sue the other party just because someone takes care of me, so who else wants to get close to me, what can I do, Zheng Andi, who is next to me, speaks to Zheng Kezang Said: "Father, Liu Guan is still young and doesn't understand the court system. It is understandable. The court rewards and dismissals have always been fair, and it will never be extra merciful just because Liu Guan is a prince."

What Zheng Andi said was actually explaining to Zheng Anze, but Zheng Kezang was very satisfied, so he asked Zheng Anze to get up: "Guan Liu, did you hear what your elder brother said clearly? Alright, don't pretend to be wronged, get up."

Zheng Anze had no choice but to get up. At this moment, Zheng Antang secretly gave him a thumbs up, and Zheng Anze could only shake his head.

Perhaps in order to continue explaining to Zheng Anze, or to give other princes a chance to choose, Zheng Kezang continued: "If you want to be a Taiping clan in the future, that's fine. Just return it to the imperial court, but there is one thing, you can’t intentionally mess up the management of Abbot Island, if you mess up, I will let you continue to stay there.”

The tenth son of the emperor, Zheng Anxi, couldn't hold back, and grinned slightly, but Zheng Kezang saw it: "Minguan, what are you laughing at?"

"My son didn't smile." Zheng Anhui replied with a bitter face, but he also knew that this answer would definitely fail, so he added hesitantly. "I just think that if the feudal leader manages well, how can he be willing to return it to the court?"

Zheng Kezang thought about it carefully, and indeed found a logical omission, so he laughed: "Officer Min is right, but I was negligent. It is unlikely that those who have achieved effective management will be willing to hand over to the court, after all, they are all The foundation that has been worked hard with one hand and one foot. Forget it, it can be changed to those who are poorly managed or unable to endure hardships in the domain, and can return it to the court, but those who return it will be punished and their titles will be downgraded. If you seize the title, you will be a commoner."

"Okay, don't think too much," Zheng Kezang waved while looking at his thoughtful sons. "You are my son. Of course, I will not let you suffer. Several suitable areas have been circled on the map. Among them, there are plains that are suitable for reclamation, and there are also mines. How to choose, you can wait and see. Pick carefully." [

More than a dozen princes walked slowly to the screen and examined them carefully, especially those who thought they were qualified to win the championship. After all, Zheng Kezang said that this is the final test. It is very likely that they will be eliminated directly, and there will be no chance to replenish them. Therefore, it is very important to choose a geomantic treasure with twice the result with half the effort.

"You don't have to be so cautious." Zheng Kezang waited for a long time, but none of his sons spoke first, so he explained again. "This map has a lot of omissions, so it may not necessarily conform to the original appearance. Besides, the third-class principalities have a radius of more than a thousand miles (36000km2), how can you manage all of them in just a few years?" These words are very interesting. It makes sense that if you want to build a country out of thin air, no matter how big or small it is, it takes at least a dozen years or as many as more than a hundred years, and it is not bad to build a city in less than eight years. "Liu Guan, the one present is your youngest, so you should take the lead and choose one."

Zheng Anze pointed at a random place with a bitter face. The place he chose was close to the Portuguese Timor Island, roughly at the location of Darwin Port in a different time and space. It can be said that it is the closest area to China and the East Indian colonies.

For Zheng Anze's choice, Zheng Kezang did not make a judgment, but said: "The next thing is to be selected by Min Guan."

Zheng Anyu and his mother and younger brother Zheng Anhui casually found Nippon's seat near Cape York, west of the Great Dividing Range. Zheng Kezang still did not make any judgments, but continued to let the other sons choose.Because of poor management, it is not shameful to consign a prince, so even a few unambitious princes are very cautious when choosing, most of them choose the plains and swamps near the river's estuary, and there are even a few far-sighted princes. Choosing the area with iron mines in the west, but few people choose the large plain and grassland area in the southeast inland, Zheng Kezang secretly shook his head and nodded.

After making a choice, Zheng Anyang asked Zheng Kezang for instructions: "Only one minister, I'm afraid to build a country, and I also ask my father to give me help and assistant ministers."

Zheng Kezang was naturally prepared: "I have already ordered the department to prepare a list of those who failed the provincial examination and general examination. You brothers will share it, or send someone to apply for a job or write a letter to solicit. Maybe Neng and his family will take it to the abbot."

Of course, it is impossible to build a country just by relying on some people who have no practical experience. You can also take some of them away, and as for the guards, I will arrange a group of divine strategy troops for each of them."
