Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2195, the scolding King Ning
Inside the royal palace of Anning City, Tianzhu Ning Kingdom.

King Ning is enjoying the singing and dancing performance leisurely. King Ning, who is over 50 years old, is living a very comfortable life now. The Tianzhu continent has been divided up, and his Ning country has nowhere to expand. With the land of Ningguo on the African side, it can continue to expand into the interior of Africa.

But the land in Africa is simply a land of plagues, especially in the inland areas, where various diseases are plentiful, and the Ming people are not willing to immigrate there. Even if the land is expanded, it will be difficult to develop it for a while.

Therefore, King Ning's enthusiasm for expanding the country is not as good as before. In addition, everything in Ning country is now well-governed. People on the Tianzhu continent are very easy to rule.

They believe in fate and the caste system, and feel that the suffering in this life is for better enjoyment in the next life, so they are willing to suffer and suffer, which is completely different from the Ming people.

The people of Ming believed that the princes and generals Xiangning had kindness, and if they couldn't make it through, they picked up a hoe and rebelled. They didn't care about you, and they dared to drag the emperor off his horse.

The rule of the whole Ningguo is very stable. In addition, the natural conditions here in Tianzhu are very good. Food, cotton, spices, sugar cane, tea, etc. are all easy to grow. Ningguo has also become the most important agricultural production place overseas. An important exporter of grain, cotton, sugar, spices, and tea, the economy is developing very rapidly.

Although Ning Kingdom's annual tax revenue is far inferior to that of the Ming Empire, due to its huge land and rapidly developing agriculture, Ning Kingdom's annual tax revenue has already exceeded hundreds of millions of taels of silver.

Under such a good form, King Ning's little life is naturally extremely comfortable.

Compared with the prince who was under surveillance at that moment in Nanchang City, this Ningguo is still comfortable, living a free life, doing whatever he wants, and going wherever he wants.

"My lord!"

"Da Mingzi is calling."

At this time, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng came to Wang Kilometer in a hurry, holding a telegram from the Ming Empire in their hands.

"Da Mingzi is calling?"

Hearing this, King Ning waved his hand, and the dancers quickly retreated.

This day, Da Mingzi calls all of a sudden, there must be something wrong, generally speaking, if there is nothing wrong, Da Mingzi will not call.

"What are you talking about?"

Ning Wang hurriedly asked.

"My lord, the Son of Heaven wants our Ning Kingdom to give the land of five states to the Ming Empire!"

Liu Yangzheng said hastily.

"what?"

"Divide the land of five states to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Why?"

"The land of Ningguo was obtained by this king with real swords and guns. This mouth wants the land of five states. If you don't give it, you will definitely not give it!"

King Ning is going to scold his mother, he has worked so hard to conquer the country, it is good for the Ming emperor, he just opened his mouth and asked for the land of his five states.

Although the land of these five states is not too large, it is still five states. Even if there are 10 counties in a state on average, this is the land of 50 counties.

The land here in Tianzhu is fertile, with a lot of heat and precipitation. It is all good arable land. The land in the five states can bring a lot of tax revenue for itself every year.

"My lord, the thing is like this. Da Mingzi intends to seal off all his adult princes and establish a feudal kingdom, but now the overseas lands have been divided up in sevens and eighties, so he also found a few relatively large feudal states. countries and colonies.”

"It's not just our country of Ning, Western United Commercial Bank, Chu, the Burmese colony, the South African colony, etc., have almost all received the same imperial decree."

Liu Yangzheng also quickly explained.

"He divided up his son and divided up his own land. It's not that the Ming Empire has no land. Australia and the Golden Isle have plenty of land. Why do you want to grab my land?"

"Don't give it, resolutely don't give it, even the emperor's edict is useless."

King Ning became even angrier after hearing this, and shook his head again and again.

In terms of land area, who can compare with the Ming Empire? How vast is the land of the Ming Empire, and the Eurasian continent alone is almost completely occupied by the Ming Empire.

There is also the vast Golden Continent and Australia, both of which belonged exclusively to the Ming Empire, and now they even came to ask for the land of five states. Isn't this showing the generosity of others.

"My lord, there are more than 200 sons in this big Ming Dynasty, and this division really requires a lot of land."

"In addition, it is estimated that the Ming Empire also wants to take this opportunity to weaken the powerful vassal states and colonies overseas, so as not to threaten the status of the Ming Empire."

Li Shishi thought about it and said.

"What does his son care about me?"

"This king still has dozens of sons, and I want them all to establish a vassal state with my dozens of sons."

"This king still thinks that his country is too small."

King Ning is extremely displeased. The son of Da Mingzi is more concerned about my hammer. If he wants to divide the land, he can use his own land to divide it. What kind of thing is it to use my land to divide it?

Dozens of King Ning's own sons are now having a headache about the future, whether to divide his Ning country into smaller ones, or to maintain a unified way.

King Ning hasn't decided what to do until now, and now it's all right, Daming will directly open his mouth to ask for the land of his five states.

"My lord, this matter should not be acted upon by will. It still needs to be dealt with carefully. After all, this is an imperial decree from the emperor of the Ming Empire."

Liu Yangzheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes, my lord, the land in five states is nothing, the key is whether there will be such a thing in the future."

"I think we should have a good discussion with the South African colony, the governor of Ceylon, the governor of Burma, and the king of Chu first, and see everyone's opinions before we discuss it."

"Don't jump out and oppose the imperial decree of the Great Ming Dynasty. After all, Daming is the suzerain of our vassal states and colonies, and if he angers the Great Ming Dynasty, there must be no good fruit to eat."

Li Shishi also spoke.

"Our people from Ningguo in the Daming capital also called and said that the Son of Heaven is also very troubled by this matter. He has more than 200 sons. It is not only as simple as dividing the land, but also dividing the family property. , It is said that the Supreme Emperor has spoken, and each prince will be divided into several million taels of silver."

"If this is calculated, the silver that will be distributed by Da Tianzi alone will exceed one billion taels of silver. There are too many sons."

Liu Yangzheng thought about it and added.

In fact, the meaning is already very simple, it doesn’t matter what you say here, but don’t say openly that you won’t give it, otherwise, the Son of Heaven, who is having a headache right now, might come down with an imperial decree that doesn’t need the army of the Ming Empire, just It is the troops of these surrounding colonies and vassal states that can clean up you, King Ning.

"Want to distribute one billion taels of silver?"

When King Ning heard this, he couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes.

This Da Mingzi is really rich.

Here in Ningguo, even if you pawn all your family assets, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise one billion taels of silver, but the Son of Heaven can afford it. These more than 200 sons can still be so extravagantly distributed. family property.

How rich is this big tomorrow?

I'm afraid that apart from himself, outsiders don't even know how much wealth and property Da Tian Zi has.

"Why did he have so many sons?"

"Now I know I have a headache."

King Ning slowly regained his composure, and couldn't help complaining again.

I have long heard that the Son of Heaven is very capable of giving birth. I am afraid that he is an emperor who has never been seen before or since. A person has more than 200 sons, and the key is that they can all be raised to adulthood.

"Let's see what other people say. The land in the five states can't be given, but they won't give it."

After thinking about it, King Ning also said.

"Yes, my lord!"

Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng replied quickly, and then contacted other feudal states and colonies.

Because of the telegram, the contact and communication between various places are very fast, and there will be news soon.

"My lord, the Governor of Ceylon, the King of Chu, the Governor of South Africa, and the Governor of Burma have all expressed their willingness to abide by the emperor's imperial decree."

After Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi contacted all parties, they also rushed to report.

"They are really generous. They will give this land as they say."

"The land of the five states, this king has worked so hard to lay it down."

After hearing this, King Ning immediately sat down on the chair weakly.

Even though he is now the king of Ning Kingdom, he is high above Ning Kingdom, but when faced with the imperial decree from the Ming Empire, he still appears very powerless.

There is no way, the will of the emperor of the Ming Empire must be followed and cannot be violated. The prince is the prince, the emperor is the emperor, the emperor is the king, and the prince is the minister.

What's wrong with the Son of Heaven wanting some land from his courtiers?
If you don't give it, you have to give it.

"Damn Xipi's~"

"The stocks of the Egyptian Canal cheated me once, and now they directly want my land in five states. This is playing me desperately."

King Ning couldn't help cursing at the thought of these, feeling very upset in his heart.

The same is true for the opening of the Egyptian canal back then. It was obviously Liu Yangzheng on his side who first proposed it. As a result, when he came to dig the canal, he had nothing to do with himself.

He only gave himself 100 million shares of the Egyptian Canal stock, which was too little, and he decisively chose not to, which caused King Ning to suddenly tens of millions of taels of silver.

Now the stock of the Egyptian Canal has risen to more than 300 taels a share, and sitting and collecting dividends every year, don't mention how cool it was in those days.

But now it has nothing to do with me at all, I can only be jealous, the key is that I still open my mouth to ask for the land of my five states.

King Ning was very upset.

But it’s okay to be unhappy, Ningguo also quickly called back to Daming, expressing that he was very willing to use the land of five states to give Damingzi a prince.
