Chapter 959 The Reward Prepared For You
Seeing Zhou Yao take the order, Xiao Ruxun looked at Wang Xijue and Li Tingji with a pleasing expression.

"Don't worry, Prince and Li. I will arrange everything for you. As long as Ergong works hard, Daqin will never treat Ergong badly."

Wang Xijue and Li Tingji swallowed together, and then quickly thanked Xiao Ruxun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Saying that he was going to kneel again, Xiao Ruxun quickly helped them up.

Then Xiao Ruxun announced to the rest of the civil servants and generals that he would personally choose a good residence for them in the inner city, so that they don't have to worry.

Then he announced the adjournment of the meeting. Civil servants and military generals left in groups of twos and threes. Everyone thought it was all right and they could sleep peacefully tonight. Indeed, most people were like this, but the main generals of each army were not like this. After they arrived at the temporary residence, someone suddenly came and told them to go back.

They were called into the palace again.

This time, all the people who came back were Xiao Ruxun's real confidantes of generals, and they were all trusted generals who fought with the world together.

Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong were also called in, and they were a little anxious, not knowing why Xiao Ruxun did this.

"I can promise all kinds of benefits to them, because they need me to use benefits to win over, but you are self-made people who followed me. To you, I don't treat you as ordinary courtiers, but as My colleagues look at it.

Zimao, Qingxiao, I have fought side by side with you, and I know your character, so I don't treat you as generals, I treat you with sincerity, and I hope you will treat me with sincerity. "

Xiao Ruxun's first words moved the hearts of Zhao Hu and other generals.

And the second sentence was specifically for Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong.

For a moment, Chai Guozhu and Li Rusong didn't know what they were feeling, but felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Xiao Ruxun continued: "So, I told them big things, but I told you the truth. I'm telling the truth. As for the rewards I give you, I don't want to give you land from the bottom of my heart."

The generals were stunned and looked at each other.

Don't want to give land?
Why?Isn't giving land the most common and affordable way to reward heroes?Why don't you give it?
"What did I kill so many gentry and tyrants for? I don't want to repeat the examples of the establishment, prosperity, decline and collapse of the past dynasties. There are things that have happened in the past. No one can solve them in the past. I know, you must They all like money and land, and they must also expect me to give you tens of thousands of acres of land."

Xiao Ruxun looked around at his confidant generals, and saw that they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"The emperors of all dynasties have rewarded meritorious officials in this way, giving official positions, titles, women, money, and land. Of course, the most fundamental thing is the land. We Han people have been living on the land for thousands of years. No one is better than us. Pay more attention to land.

However, I want to make some changes. The land in the land of China is limited. If you share a little, I will share a little, and it will be over soon. The officials have money, but the land does not pay taxes. It will not take 100 years, but the poor will have no place to stand , and then another round of turmoil.

You are the founding fathers now, but before that, weren't you also refugees who lost their land and couldn't survive?I believe that no one knows better than you how painful it is for people to lose their land. I hope you will never forget your origins.

The land of the high-ranking people is often tens of thousands of acres, but the poor can't even keep their own few tens of acres of land, and can only be reduced to refugees. You have all tasted this pain deeply, so I don't want you to become The group of people you used to hate the most. "

Xiao Ruxun looked at the generals while talking.

The generals reacted differently.

Xiao Ruxun's heart sank slightly.

Then he spoke again.

"I know what you are thinking. Now everyone is focusing on the land, but no one has ever looked at the whole world, but no one has ever paid attention to the land in the whole world. They only pay attention to the limited land of the land of China. The other lands know nothing!"

The generals looked at each other, and looked at Xiao Ruxun together, their eyes were full of doubts.

Xiao Ruxun directly took out a map and placed it in front of everyone.

"This is the map presented to me by Matteo Ricci from Europa. It is a map of the whole world we live in. The world I refer to does not refer to the land of China alone, but the whole land including the land of China."

Xiao Ruxun pointed to the location of China.

"This is our land of China, and besides this, there are more lands, here, here, here, here, here, all of them are lands, most of them are unclaimed lands, just separated from us by a piece of land. It's just the sea!"

Xiao Ruxun pointed to Siberia, to North and South America, to Australia, and to the South Pacific.

Then he noticed that something was wrong with the eyes of his confidants.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that these lands exist, and they are lands without owners? Are the words of those Xiyi really credible? Is the world... really that big? Our Daqin is just such a small place? "

Zhao Hu had seen Matteo Ricci more than once in Myanmar, and he didn't have a good sense of Matteo Ricci, thinking that he was talking like a magic stick.

"I believe that Chen Long is going to Europa Continent under the leadership of Matteo Ricci. This can at least show that the Franji people are not in Nanyang, but in Europa Continent. What's more, the Europa people like Seafaring and fond of running around, they've found so much no-man's-land and claimed it!"

Xiao Ruxun's tone became more serious, and the generals suddenly realized something was wrong.

"They...take land?"

Jiang Dahai's face was full of doubts.

"Yes, otherwise, why would I send you to lead the navy to a decisive battle with the Francoids in Luzon? Where did the Francoids come from? The continent of Europa, which takes about a year to come and go, the Francophones People came here and occupied Luzon.

Thousands of miles away, they can occupy it, what does that mean?These Xiyi people have bad intentions, and there is one thing I haven't told you yet, that is what the businessmen from France and Genoa told me when Chen Long was bringing them back from France and Genoa.

They said that the Frangji people had already occupied Luzon decades ago, almost in the Jiajing year, and just over 20 years ago, the Frangji people entrenched in Luzon even planned to attack the Central Plains. They said that the whole of China could be conquered with [-] soldiers. "

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked and inexplicable.

"You all only know that I attacked Luzon to avenge the murdered local expatriates, but more importantly, I did not allow Luzon to become a base for Francoids to attack the Central Plains, so I ordered Jiang Dahai to take Luzon down, Bring it under the rule, and strengthen the navy in case of emergency.

Xiyi is not weak. On the contrary, they have excellent firearms and powerful ships. We do not have an advantage in the navy. What we defeated was their partial division. In their own country, they have a stronger main force. Many countries in the continent of Europa have powerful navies raging all over the world, occupying land everywhere!
If we ignore it, sooner or later they will have the idea of ​​attacking us like the Francois. From what Chen Longzheng went to Europa, I know that they all know the existence of our China, but we know little about them. They came here, not us, the world is so big, is it going to take advantage of those Xiyi?
They told me that there are countless spices on the islands in the South Seas, and there are countless golds on this continent across the sea. The locals are even willing to exchange the same weight of gold for their goods. They still have people, and there are many, many more. The savage is the best slave! "

Xiao Ruxun looked at his generals: "Don't you all want to gallop across this wider land? Let me tell you now, these unclaimed lands, these lands full of spices and gold, are what I have prepared for you reward."
