Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1144, King Ning's helplessness
"Since the prince has said so, then I have no choice but to reply to my teacher like this."

Seeing King Ning's firm attitude, Tong Yuan had no choice.

5% of the shares is already quite a lot, Liu Jin is not bad at only 10%, and even the Son of Heaven only accounts for 20%. This King Ning's appetite is really not ordinary, and he can't wait to eat one bite to become a big fat man.

"Well, I will not interfere with the big business of the Egyptian canal."

"But I wonder if your teacher is interested in attacking the Lodi Dynasty in the north of Tianzhu?"

King Ning nodded slightly. To be honest, he really felt that 5% of the shares was too little. He had recruited people to calculate the income of this share and the one-year income after the opening of the Egyptian Canal, which was a matter of several million taels. , if it is only 5% of the shares, it is also a few silver.

It's better to catch more slaves on the Tianzhu continent, and a slave can be worth dozens of taels of silver.

Originally, he thought that he and Liu Jin would work together to do it together. It would be perfect to call a few capable people, and each person would take a few achievements. It would be best if he could work with Liu Jin to find a way to occupy Egypt. You don't need to look at the faces of the Egyptians at all, and swallow the entire canal by yourself.

Who knows what kind of shareholding system Liu Jin has come up with, and it is going to be listed. Liu Jin, who has always been a cannibal, didn't think about occupying Egypt, but planned to cooperate with Kansu II.

What kind of bird is Kansu II, and what is Egypt, regardless of what ancient civilization it claims to be, but in King Ning's opinion, it is not difficult to occupy Egypt, and [-] troops are enough.

King Ning can't afford [-] troops, but if Liu Jin wants to, there is still a way to get [-] troops. He can easily take Egypt and turn Egypt into a colony.

Forget it, don't join this Egyptian canal.

Now King Ning's main energy is still on Tianzhu Continent, because the competition on Tianzhu Continent is too fierce.

There are dozens of vassal kingdoms established by large and small vassal kings, and dozens of large and small colonies, such as the Western United Commercial Bank, one family may be able to swallow the entire Tianzhu.

Therefore, the pressure of competition is high, and King Ning's main energy is also on Tianzhu's side.

Tianzhu is a good place. The climate is humid, the land is fertile, and there is a lot of arable land. At the same time, various resources are also extremely rich. Someone has discovered large gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines on the Tianzhu continent. It is a valuable thing.

If you don't seize the time to fight for it now, you won't have your share when the time comes.

One must know that the surroundings are all vassal states and colonies, and these vassal states were established by the descendants of the old Zhu family, so it is not possible to say that the brothers meet each other in battle, right?

As for the colonies, each of the masters behind them is a big shot with hands and eyes, and it is not easy to offend.

So everyone's goal is very clear, that is to occupy as much territory as possible, and if you occupy it first, it will be your own.

As for East Africa, although the competitiveness is equally fierce, there are also many vassal states and colonies, but Africa is considered a civilized desert, and the Kunlun slaves here are still in a very primitive tribal stage, very lazy, and It's worthless, and I don't understand anything, and I can't even teach it.

Therefore, the development of many vassal states and colonies in East Africa is relatively slow, and they can only continue to attract Ming people to immigrate there, and at the same time buy a large number of white slaves.

In contrast, Tianzhu is still more valuable and has higher development potential.

However, the southern plateau of Tianzhu is almost divided up now, but the most fertile, richest, and most populous northern Tianzhu is still out of reach.

North Tianzhu under the notification of the Lodi Dynasty is powerful, and it is not easy for them to take down these vassal states and colonies.

So King Ning thought of Liu Jin. If Liu Jin was willing to make a move, Bei Tianzhu would be nothing.

With Liu Jin's strong strength, it is not difficult to conquer Bei Tianzhu if he wants money and people.

"I'm afraid my teacher has no interest in Beitianzhu."

Tong Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said.

Liu Jin is very busy, so there is no time to pay attention to the affairs of North Tianzhu, not to mention that there are many overseas colonies where Liu Jin has shares. The largest South African colony, Liu Jin is a major shareholder.

Moreover, there are many eyes staring at Liu Jin now, there are many people who are popular, and Liu Jin is also keeping a low profile a lot, so it is better not to participate in such a big event.

"That would be a real pity."

"In Tianzhu, the richest, most fertile, and most populous is Bei Tianzhu. If you can take Bei Tianzhu, let alone this slave. In the future, Tianzhu alone will capture millions of slaves a year." There's nothing wrong with that."

When King Ning heard this, he immediately looked very disappointed.

"My lord can actually unite with the Western United Trading Company and other vassal states and colonies. Let's send troops together to attack the Lodi Dynasty. Then we can discuss how to divide it up?"

Tong Yuan thought for a while and said.

"That being said, who can know the thoughts of other vassal states and colonies?"

King Ning thought for a while and shook his head.

He actually had the same idea, but quickly rejected it.

Because King Ning knew that not every vassal king was as ambitious as himself, and some vassal states were actually very content with the status quo. For example, the Shu Kingdom next to Ning State, and the Shu King who occupied the rich Goa area had no ambitions.

The area of ​​the Kingdom of Shu is not large, it is only equivalent to the size of a province, and the King of Shu is very satisfied. He lives a dreamy life in his vassal state, and it is said that he bought hundreds of beauties and sings every night.

Several times, King Ning wanted to attack the surrounding areas and expand the territory together with the King of Shu, but the Kingdom of Shu refused, and also said that as a vassal state, it is enough to have its own sky overseas, so don't think about it. If it is too big and too strong, it will make the emperor suspicious.

Upon receiving such an answer, King Ning was completely speechless.

The emperor has allowed them to come here overseas to establish a vassal state, so why do you care how much land you occupy, no matter how big it is, can it be as big as the Ming Dynasty?

If you don't think about making progress, you don't think about making progress, and you make such an excuse for yourself, King Ning is also speechless.

Many scopes are similar to the king of Shu. When you go overseas, you can occupy a piece of land and establish your own vassal state. Just live a carefree life, and your ambitions are not very big.

Only a few vassal kings such as King Ning, King Chu, and King Zheng are relatively ambitious and want to establish a large vassal state.

On the contrary, those colonies have great ambitions and are constantly expanding. Like the Western Union, they expand every year, and the colonies they occupy are getting bigger and bigger.

Every time they occupy a piece of land, they will build a large number of plantations and use a large number of slaves to work. The economic benefits are very high, and the shareholders behind them are very satisfied, and the support they give is getting bigger and bigger, making their expansion faster. come faster.

This made Ning Wang see it in his eyes, and he was also anxious in his heart. At the same time, he was annoyed by those ineffective brothers of his old Zhu family.

"Then I don't know what to do."

Tong Yuan smiled and said.

"Can I trouble Master Tong to write a letter to your teacher, hoping that he can write a letter to the emperor of Ming Dynasty, saying that our vassal kings are not having a good time overseas, and hope that we can allow our vassal kings to expand the number of their troops. The number of the army was increased to fifty thousand."

"As long as your teacher is willing to write a letter to the emperor, no matter whether the matter is completed or not, there will be a big thank you."

King Ning pondered for a while, thought for a while and said again.

King Ning has great ambitions, he is not satisfied with everything he has now, he wants to expand and fight for more colonies, but because of the Daming King's Regulations, there are extremely strong restrictions on the vassal state.

The most important one is to limit the number of troops of the vassal state, and limit the arms and weapons of the vassal state army. The vassal state is not allowed to manufacture arms and weapons privately, and must purchase them all from Daming.

This is tantamount to firmly blocking the development of the vassal state.

It doesn't matter to the unambitious vassal kings, but to those who are ambitious, like King Ning, they feel very uncomfortable.

Although King Ning has formed an army beyond the regulations behind his back, he is also producing weapons behind his back. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In his own vassal state, no matter how he comes.

But for this matter, it is best to get the permission of the Great Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to be justified, especially if he wants to attack the Lodi Dynasty in the north and take the most fertile area.

Once the army he owns is exposed at that time, the Emperor of the Great Ming and the court of the Ming Dynasty will definitely know that an impeachment memorial has been sent to the Son of Heaven by someone with a heart.

The ghost knows what the Son of Heaven will think and do at that time, maybe an imperial decree will come down, and he will be in trouble for King Ning.

"I'll write to the teacher about it."

Tong Yuan thought for a while and expressed his willingness to help write a letter to Liu Jin.

"Thank you so much, Master Tong~"

King Ning immediately became happy when he heard it, and then clapped his hands. Soon, several beauties came in with several plates. On the plate are pearls, agate, emerald, jade.

"Master Tong, this is my king's wish, please accept it."

King Ning smiled and said.

"My lord, I absolutely dare not take these things. My benefactor has repeatedly told me to wait. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way and spends it with restraint. This kind of meritorious service will not be rewarded. I really dare not accept it."

Tong Yuan looked at it and said firmly.

He himself came from a big landlord's family. Following a teacher like Liu Jin, he also had his own business firm, plantation, etc. In fact, he was not short of money at all, so naturally he would not accept these things from King Ning.

"Haha, it really is a famous teacher who gave birth to an excellent student. This king is being rude. You shouldn't use these filthy things to humiliate Mr. Tong."

When King Ning saw Tong Yuan's attitude, he immediately smiled and waved his hand to signal those people to go down.

Then he looked at a huge map of Tianzhu and said: "Tianzhu is a good place, but at present, there are really too few Han people here. This is what this king is very worried about."

"My lord, this matter will be handled easily."

"I heard from Li Xiang that there are [-] Daming people in Ningguo, and the prince has several million slaves. From my point of view, the prince just needs to buy more women and distribute these women to the Ming people."

"As long as there are enough women, a man can give birth to many children. With dozens or hundreds of women, after a few decades, are you afraid that there will not be enough Han people?"

　Give you a hundred, can you do it?
