Prince Ning was leisurely enjoying the song and dance performance. Prince Ning, who was already in his fifties, was living a very comfortable life now. The Tianzhu Continent had already been divided up, and his Ning Kingdom was no longer able to expand. Only the land of Ning on the African side can continue to expand into the interior of Africa.
But the land in Africa is simply a place of plague, especially in the inland areas, where there are so many diseases. People in the Ming Dynasty are not willing to immigrate there. Even if they expand the land, it will be difficult to develop it for a while.
Therefore, King Ning's enthusiasm for expanding the territory is not as good as before. In addition, everything in Ning State is now governed in an orderly manner. The people on this Tianzhu continent are very easy to rule.
They believe in fate and the caste system, and feel that the sufferings in this life are for better enjoyment in the next life, so they are willing to endure hardships and hardships. This is completely different from the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The people of the Ming Dynasty even believed that the princes and generals Xiang Ning had some kind of talent. If they couldn't survive, they would pick up a hoe and rebel. No matter what you do, they would be willing to cut themselves off and dare to pull the emperor off his horse.
The rule of the entire Ningguo is very stable. In addition, the natural conditions here in Tianzhu are very good. Grain, cotton, spices, sugar cane, tea, etc. are easy to grow. Ningguo has also become the most important agricultural production area overseas and is the world's most important agricultural production area. It is an important exporter of grain, cotton, cane sugar, spices and tea, and its economy is developing very rapidly.
Although Ningguo¡¯s annual tax revenue is far less than that of the Ming Empire, due to its huge territory and rapidly developing agriculture, Ningguo¡¯s annual tax revenue has already exceeded hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
Under such a good situation, Prince Ning's life was naturally extremely comfortable.
"Compared to the prince who was under surveillance all the time in Nanchang City, Ningguo is still comfortable here, living a free life, doing whatever he wants, and going wherever he wants.
"Your Majesty!"
"The emperor has called tomorrow."
At this time, Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng hurriedly came to the prince's house, holding a telegram from the Ming Empire in their hands.
"Is the emperor calling tomorrow?"
Hearing this, King Ning waved his hand, and the dancers quickly withdrew.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The great lord tomorrow calls me all of a sudden, there must be something going on. Generally speaking, if there is nothing wrong, the great lord tomorrow will not call.
"What are you talking about?"
King Ning asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants our Ning State to give the land of five states to the Ming Empire!"
Liu Yangzheng said quickly.
"What?"
"Give the land of five states to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Why?"
"This land in Ning State was created by me with my own swords and guns. With this mouth, I want the land of five states. I won't give it to you, I will never give it to you!"
Prince Ning is about to scold his mother. He has worked so hard to conquer the country. It is better for the Ming Emperor to open his mouth and ask 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 a state has an average of 10 counties, this is still the land of 50 counties.
The land in Tianzhu is fertile, has a lot of heat, and has a lot of precipitation. It is all good farmland. The land in the five states can bring a lot of tax revenue to itself every year.
"Your Majesty, the thing is like this. The Emperor of Heaven is planning to sequester all his adult princes to establish vassal states. However, the overseas lands have been divided up, so he has also found a few larger vassals. important national and colonial territory.¡±
"Not only our Ning Kingdom, but also the Western United Trading Company, Chu Kingdom, Burmese Colony, South African Colony, etc., have almost all received the same imperial edict."
Liu Yangzheng also quickly explained.
"He can enfeoff his son and use his own land to enfeoff. It's not like the Ming Empire has no land. Australia and Golden Continent have plenty of land. Why come here to grab my land?"
"I won't give it, I won't give it, even if it is the emperor's imperial edict, it will be useless."
King Ning became even more angry after hearing this and shook his head repeatedly.
In terms of land area, who can compare with the Ming Empire? The land of the Ming Empire is so vast. Almost all of the Eurasian continent has been occupied by the Ming Empire.
There are also the vast Golden Continent and Australia, which belong exclusively to the Ming Empire. Now they actually come to ask for the land of five states. Isn¡¯t this a clear sign of humiliation?
"Your Majesty, the emperor of tomorrow has more than 200 sons. This enfeoffment is indeed needed.Since the imperial edict of the Ming Empire, he still seemed very powerless.
There is no way, the emperor's will of the Ming Empire must still 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 emperor asking your subjects for some land?
This means you have to give it even if you don¡¯t give it.
"Mother Xipi's~"
"The Egyptian Canal stock cheated me once, and now it wants my land in five states directly. This is playing tricks on me."
King Ning couldn't help but cursed when he thought of this, feeling very unhappy in his heart.
The same was 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 it came to digging the canal, he had nothing to do.
I was only given 1 million shares of Egyptian Canal stock, which was too little. I decisively chose not to give it up, causing King Ning to suddenly acquire hundreds of millions of taels of silver.
Now the stock price of Egypt Canal has risen to more than 300 taels of silver per share. Sitting and collecting dividends every year is not to mention how exciting it is in those small days.
But now it has nothing to do with me at all. I can only be jealous. The key is that now I even open my mouth to ask for the land of my five states.
King Ning was very unhappy.
??????????????????? However, the displeasure came to an end, and Ning Guo quickly called back to Ming Dynasty, expressing its willingness to use the land of five states to give the emperor of Ming Dynasty a prince. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
