In the territory of Rui Kingdom in the southwest of Tianzhu continent, Rui King Zhu Zaitan was riding a tall horse to inspect his vassal state.
"It's really rare that our country of Rui actually has an outlet to the sea."
Zhu Zaitan looked at the coastline in front of him, then looked at the map, and nodded with great satisfaction.
If there is an outlet to the sea, if a port is built in the future, it will be possible to do some port transfer trade, and transportation will be more convenient.
"Your Majesty, the general bought this seaport from Prince Ning at a great cost."
¡°It¡¯s just that if we build a port here, the cost may be relatively high. After all, it is not a natural and excellent harbor.¡±
Next to Zhu Zaitan, Liu Wenyuan, a Japanese man who was not tall, said.
Liu Wenyuan was born in the Harada clan of a famous family in the Japanese state. Later, after the Japanese state became a vassal state of the Ming Empire, it was fully Sinicized and Ming-oriented. These famous families in the Japanese state also changed their surnames to Chinese names, wore Han clothes, and spoke the Ming dialect in almost every aspect. They all learned from the Ming Empire.
The ancestors of the Harada family are descendants of Liu Azhi, a descendant of the Han Dynasty royal family who traveled east to the Japanese country, so they also changed their surname back to Liu.
This time Liu Wenyuan was also sent by the shogunate to assist Zuo Zhu Zaitan in establishing his own Rui Kingdom, and for this nephew, the shogunate also did a lot of things.
Not only did he make a deal with Prince Ning to give Rui an outlet to the sea, but he also exchanged part of his shogunate's colony in Tianzhu to Rui, which also gave Rui an area of ????large The size of a state capital was several times larger than that of an ordinary vassal state.
In addition, the shogunate also directly moved 50,000 people from the Japanese country to Ruiguo, which was a great effort for his own provincial vassal state.
If you want land, give it, if you want people, give it, and if you want money, you can give it.
¡°My uncle has really done too many things for me. I don¡¯t even know how to thank him.¡±
After Zhu Zaitan heard this, he also sighed.
Having a powerful uncle is a comfort. While other princes are still worried about the small population of their vassals, my uncle has already arranged many things properly.
¡¾To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple. ¡¿
You can easily come here and become a vassal king. There are not many things you need to worry about.
"This is what it should be."
"My lord, you have a noble status. The blood of the Emperor of Heaven flows through your body, as well as the blood of the Ashikaga family of the shogunate. With such a noble status, all this is already very aggrieved."
Liu Wenyuan said with a smile.
The King Rui in front of me has a good uncle. It is also close to the Japanese colony of Tianzhu, and there are many places where he can be taken care of. If it is too far away, even if he wants to take care of him, he will not be able to do anything.
In fact, what the shogun hopes most is that King Rui can sit on the throne of the Ming Dynasty, but this is obviously impossible. The Ming Empire will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Switzerland is still too backward. There is not even a factory. It is too difficult to develop."
Zhu Zaitan was riding on his horse, looking at the land under his feet. This was his vassal state.
Compared with the prosperity and development of Ming Dynasty, this place is very backward.
"Your Majesty, everything is difficult at the beginning. Take it step by step. I believe that as long as we manage it from generation to generation, this country of Switzerland will definitely become better and better."
"Yes, we will be here for generations to come, so of course we have to run it well."
¡°First we need to build a port, build a port at the exit sea in front of us, and then build a cement road.¡±
On the vast prairie of Southern Golden Continent, King Yan Zhu Zaimo was riding a horse to patrol his vassal state. He was accompanied by a group of Mongolian cavalry, each wearing a sheep jacket, carrying a scimitar at his waist, and carrying a bow and arrow on his back.
Although they are not tall, they have very broad shoulders. They are typical Mongolians.
Although there are only a few dozen cavalry, their momentum is amazing, giving people the feeling of thousands of troops.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s really desolate, not even a single person can be seen.¡±
King Yan stopped on a hillside and looked down at the grassland in front of him. He couldn't help but shake his head. His vassal country was really too remote.
This is the farthest place from the mainland of Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is the end of the sky and the corner of the sea. It has reached the end of the world.??The end.
The place is vast and sparsely populated, and there are very few people.
Even after many years of immigration, the Ming Dynasty moved a large number of herdsmen to the prairie of South Golden Continent, the total population here is still very sparse.
In addition, it is spread over the vast prairie. According to statistics, the total population of this vassal state is only a few thousand people.
¡°To put it nicely, he is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, but to put it worse, he is the leader of a small tribe, a small tribe with only a few thousand people.
Yanwang Zhu Zaimo is the 12th son of Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His mother is the daughter of the chief of the Horqin tribe, a large grassland tribe in the northern grasslands.
Yan Wang Zhu Zaimo also looks very similar to the Mongolians. He is not tall, but he is very strong and honest. However, his facial features are more similar to those of the Han people, and relatively more delicate.
This time when Zhu Zaimo chose his fiefdom, he also chose the prairie of South Golden Continent. It is a vast area with sparsely populated areas, so the area of ??the fiefdom is larger than that of other places.
Of course, the most important thing is that his grandfather is the chief of the Horqin tribe. Although the chiefs of these grassland tribes have less and less control over their own tribes, they still have huge influence.
With just one order, a large number of Horqin tribesmen still chose to immigrate to the grasslands of the Southern Golden Continent and to the Yan Kingdom of Yan King Zhu Zaimo.
"Your Majesty, the prairie of Southern Golden Continent can be said to be the best grassland in the world. It is full of water and grass and is the most suitable place for grazing."
¡°There are a few people there, but for grazing, it¡¯s definitely the best.¡±
Beside Zhu Zaimo, Ha Dan from the Horqin tribe said with a smile.
"Hadan, times have changed. It is no longer the past era."
"If we just herd cattle, my Yan Kingdom might still be what it is now for hundreds of years."
Hearing what Ha Dan said, Zhu Zaimo shook his head slightly. He grew up in the capital and has seen the prosperity and bustle of the capital. He also clearly knows that technology is the most powerful productivity.
"If you keep grazing cattle and sheep, don't expect too much development in your Yan country. Today's science and technology are changing with each passing day. It's no longer an era when a few thousand cavalry can dominate the world.
"But if we don't graze, what can we do here?"
Zhu Zaimo had a sad face. He had such a big vassal state, but he didn't know how to build it and develop it.
"My lord, in fact, if you think too much, people will only become troubled."
¡°Sometimes, if you don¡¯t think too much, your life will be simpler and more relaxed.¡±
"What's wrong with grazing? You can actually live a simple and relaxed life quite well."
Ha Dan said with a smile.
For the herdsmen on the grassland, it is enough to be able to graze on a grassland with rich water and grass. It is already the happiest and happiest thing.
As for how much money they must make and how well they must live, they don¡¯t really care.
Sometimes people on the grasslands can¡¯t figure out why the Han people are still struggling to make money and work despite being very rich.
What is the point of working so hard to make money?
It¡¯s not just about enjoying life. Grazing itself can lead to a good life, and there is no need to be so tired.
"may be."
Zhu Zaimo smiled and did not argue with Hasan about this matter, because there was no need at all.
He is just an ordinary herdsman on the grassland. He only sees, thinks and sees a little bit. How can he understand his thoughts and difficulties at this moment.
¡°If Yan country wants to develop, it will still have to attract more Han immigrants.¡±
"As for grassland herdsmen, they only like the free grazing life and lack the motivation to move forward."
In his heart, Zhu Zaimo was constantly thinking about the future development of his Yan Kingdom.
If this vassal state wants to develop, it first needs people. The people in this vassal state are really too few, too few. There are only a few thousand people, and they are basically grassland herdsmen. If such a vassal state wants to develop, It's so hard to get up.
It may be that decades or hundreds of years have passed, but there is still no development or change here.
"First of all, we need to build a city, with the city as the center, to develop animal husbandry-related processing industries, wool processing, beef and mutton processing."
"The next step is to do more exploration and exploration to see if there are any resources in Yanguo. Only with resources can there be a long-term stable source of income. It is best to be able to discover gold, silver, or oil mines."
¡°If we just rely on grazing cattle and sheep, then we will only be able to collect taxes from cattle and sheep, and we won¡¯t be able to see any money.¡±
Thinking of this, Zhu Zaimo couldn't help but get a headache.
??It is really not an easy task to build a vassal state. Fortunately, I still have 5 million taels of silver in my hand, otherwise it would be too difficult.
