Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2191, the trouble of having too many sons

In the Shang Study Room, the other ministers had already left and went to their respective offices. Liu Jin was left alone by Zhu Houzhao, and ordered someone to open a huge map of the world.

Looking at the huge world region, the above places have been divided up in sevens and eighties, and Zhu Houzhao is also frowning.

"Your Majesty, what makes you so sad?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then at the huge world area in front of him. He also wondered in his heart whether there were no opponents in the world worthy of Zhu Houzhao's battle, and that's why he was so troubled.

The person this group has always admired the most is Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. He always thinks about marching and fighting. Now that he is the emperor, he might make something wrong again.

The purpose of supporting Spain's unification of Europe is to make Spain stronger, so that there will be an opponent that can be used to train troops in the future.

Are you speechless?
Looking at the world map now, it is estimated that he is thinking about this matter again.

But this time, Liu Jin obviously guessed wrong. Zhu Houzhao was not thinking about who to beat, but was worrying about his son.

"Hey, the whole world has been divided up in sevens and eighties, and the remaining land, that is, some colonies in West Africa, are still in the hands of the Spaniards."

"Where will my sons go to establish a feudal state in the future!"

Zhu Houzhao was annoyed when he thought of this matter.

Nothing else, because he has too many sons, there are more than 200 sons, and this is because he seems to be not doing very well in recent years, and he has very few sons, otherwise, his There are more sons.

If there are more children, the princess can say something better, just find someone to marry, but if there are more sons, this troublesome thing will come.

Especially now that Zhu Houzhao's sons have grown up one after another, some of them are already old enough to be crowned kings, but they have never been crowned.

Because if it’s just a vassal king, then it will be the same as before. It’s hard to get these vassal kings from Daming to go overseas. Now Zhu Houzhao has given birth to more than 200 sons at once. After that, the entire treasury of Daming will not be able to bear it, and it will eventually become what it was before.

However, if these sons of his are allowed to go overseas to establish vassal states, the land in the world will be divided up in sevens and eighties, and there is not much remaining land left.

All the good places in the world have been occupied by people, and there are very few places that can develop for Zhu Houzhao's sons. This is what Zhu Houzhao worries about.

"what?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin was slightly dumbfounded, and immediately understood Zhu Houzhao's troubles.

Immediately laughed, Zhu Houzhao gave birth to a son is very cool, from the age of 18 to 30 years old, Zhu Houzhao gave birth to more than 200 sons, more than 200 daughters, these daughters basically just marry when they grow up If you pay a dowry, it won't hurt Zhu Houzhao, after all, he is very rich.

But what about this son?
There are more than 200 sons, and there is only one throne, and since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the first son of Empress Xia has been established as the crown prince. According to the crown prince system of the Ming Empire, there is nothing to fight for the throne. The other princes had no chance at all.

It is indeed nerve-wracking for more than 200 sons to be divided into vassals.

"Old Liu, tell me what to do?"

Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin and asked.

Zhu Houzhao really can't think of any good solution. There are too many sons. To be honest, among the more than 200 sons, Zhu Houzhao himself can't match him. Many sons even meet in a hurry only during the reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year.

But no matter what, this is also his own son, and he still has to be responsible for the place that should be responsible.

"Your Majesty, you can first ask for some land from some vassal kings and colonies overseas. The reason why these vassal kings and colonies can gain a foothold and develop overseas is inseparable from the support of our Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has It's difficult, let them allocate part of the land for your majesty, your princes to establish a vassal state, this is what should be taken for granted."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

Overseas vassal states and colonies, some of which are really large in size, like Ningguo, Chu, Western Union, South African colonies, etc., are all huge in size, each of which is a giant, standing on a lot of land, and dividing a little land out It's nothing.

After all, there are many places that they won't be able to develop for a while now, and the land they occupy is barren, and they will be allocated to the new Lord Daming to find a way to develop them.

"Will they agree?"

"Even if they are willing to allocate some land, it must be some barren land."

Zhu Houzhao said immediately after hearing this.

"If you don't agree, you have to agree, but the allocated land doesn't need to be too big. One or two towns is enough for one prince, and the land the size of a state capital is enough to arrange dozens of princes. "

"There are a lot of fertile lands in Tianzhu. It is enough for King Ning and Xiyang United Commercial Bank to distribute some land to arrange hundreds of princes."

"In addition, there are many islands in Nanyang, some islands can also be allocated to the princes; some land in the border areas can also be allocated to the princes, so that the princes can defend the border for the country, such as the Black Earth Province in Europe. There is a lot of land, there are no people, and it is very fertile, which can also be used for enfeoffment."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

This Zhu Houzhao has too many sons, and the distribution of the entrustment can only be blamed on the small places after all. It is impossible to say that a prince can be divided into lands the size of a state capital or a county, and lands the size of one or two townships are almost the same.

Let them establish a vassal state by themselves, and then give you the same amount of money to settle down. It's better than keeping them like pigs in Daming.

After going out, he is still a vassal king, not to mention free and easy. Although his vassal state is small, he can still make his own decisions.

If you become a vassal king in Daming, you may not even be able to leave the city, and you will be watched everywhere, then you will really be raised like a pig in the age, and it will not be of any benefit to Daming or these vassal kings. .

"Is this land divided into one or two townships too small?"

"Will people bully you overseas?"

Zhu Houzhao heard it, thought for a while and said.

If it is divided overseas, it must be allocated overseas. It has basically become a rule now, but it is still my own son, so it is too shabby to divide one or two township-sized lands.

"Your Majesty, there is no way, you have too many sons."

"If you feel shabby, just give me some more silver at that time."

"As for whether they will be bullied, don't worry about that. With Your Majesty as your backer, who would dare to bully them."

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"That's true, it's just that the land that is divided into one or two towns is really too small. The world is so big, and the land allocated to my son can only be divided into one or two small towns."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and nodded, but still felt that the land was too little. Even Zhu Houzhao himself was not worthy of his son's name, but he was his own son after all, so he would always think more about arranging for them better. Some.

"Your Majesty, the population is large, and the places with good conditions are naturally only the size of one or two towns. If they are allocated to remote areas."

"For example, if it is allocated to Australia, there will be no people living for hundreds of miles. Even if it is given more land, it will be meaningless."

"This is divided into one or two towns, so it is naturally a place with a large population and a bustling scene."

Liu Jin said quickly.

Who told you, Zhu Houzhao, to give birth to children? There are too many children, and they can’t all be as big as before. Although the Ming Empire is big, if you let the children and grandchildren of the old Zhu family divide it like this The whole world is not enough.

It is almost enough to build a vassal state on land the size of one or two townships. It is a little small, but it is still a vassal state.

With the protection of the Ming Empire and no one daring to bully him, he can live a comfortable life in his own country, isn't that good?
If it is divided according to the size of the county level, these more than 200 sons are more than 200 counties. Although it seems that the problem is not very big, in essence, they are all the same.

"The land in one or two townships is still the same size, and the land in one or two counties is about the same."

"For a feudal country with one or two townships, this car will go out as soon as you step on the gas pedal. It's too small, too small."

"This must be at least on the scale of a county. You are responsible for this matter. You have made a detailed list of area divisions. However, you will send power to overseas big feudal states and large colonies, and ask them to set aside land. .”

"These sons of mine are already grown up. If they stay in the capital, they will always have some ideas that they shouldn't have. Go overseas to build their own vassal state earlier, so as to avoid any troubles."

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao still felt that the land in one or two villages and towns was too small, at least it was his son, not to mention that the world was so big that he couldn't get some land for his son to build a vassal state?
Zhu Houzhao didn't believe this anymore. Even if he wanted to rob himself, he would have to rob some land for his son. For a county-sized feudal kingdom, that was the minimum requirement.

There is no way, who would let him have more sons, and it was too late to come out. The good places overseas are divided up, and the smaller ones are smaller. After all, it is still a feudal kingdom.
