Seeing that Luo Zhang insisted on taking Yazhou as a fiefdom, Li Shimin did not persuade him. Although Yazhou belonged to the Tang Dynasty and was large enough, it was useless to the Tang Dynasty. The island had no output and often Accompanied by the strong wind, compared to what Luo Zhang gave him in exchange for Yazhou, to be honest, he made the money, and Luo Zhang just gave it to him.
"Since you insist on making Yazhou your fiefdom, then this place will be given to you!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said boldly.
Luo Zhang did not expose it and quickly thanked Li Shimin. Only their hearts knew who lost and who gained in this transaction.
Seeing His Majesty's anxious look, Luo Zhang did not stay here any longer, said goodbye to His Majesty and left the palace.
After returning home, Luo Zhang told his family about the Yazhou gift given to him by His Majesty.
When everyone in the family heard that Luo Zhang actually wanted Yazhou as a fiefdom, no one looked good on Luo Zhang.
From ancient times to the present, that place has not been a place for people to stay. Not to mention the scorching heat, it often rains heavily and there are strong winds. To say it is useless is to mention Yazhou. It is no wonder that prisoners are exiled to places like Yazhou. In order to torture the prisoners, they were not allowed to live comfortably.
"Zhang'er, why don't you discuss it with grandma if you want a fiefdom? Grandma knows that you are very capable and will be appreciated by His Majesty, but this fiefdom will be the foundation of the Luo family in the future. I won't say anything about the places you asked for before. But what's the use of coming to Yazhou?" Grandma said with a bitter face.
"Yes, Zhang'er, what's the use of Yazhou? It's a place where prisoners are exiled." The little aunt also didn't understand.
As for the others, although they didn't say anything, they all looked at Luo Zhang. They were almost as confused as grandma and others, and they were all confused about Luo Zhang's plan.
"Grandma, you said that since His Majesty granted you a fiefdom, how have I ever asked for a piece of useless land?"
"If nothing else, let's talk about Nanshan. At first, you all thought it was a barren land, but now? Nanshan City is almost built, and the coal there is making our Luo family a lot of money every day! I don't know how many people there are I am greedy and regretful, I regret why I didn’t want this land in Nanshan in the first place!” Luo Zhang explained patiently.
"Yes, the land of Nanshan is indeed good, but Yazhou has been there for many years and it has not been of any use. You are a little reckless this time!" Grandma still disagreed with what Luo Zhang said.
Of course, Luo Zhang also understands what grandma and the others think. After all, Nanshan is located in the southernmost part and is too far away from Chang'an. Even if he wants to go to Yazhou, it will take at least several months to travel long distances, not to mention the hardships involved. .
But that was in the past. Nowadays, there are ships on the high seas. As long as a port is established in Yazhou, it only takes half a month at most to travel between Yazhou and Chang'an. If you can travel between the two places in half a month, is the distance still a problem?
After hearing Luo Zhang's explanation, everyone nodded. They had forgotten about the ships on the far sea. With ships, it really wouldn't take too long to get there.
But even so, the place was too desolate!
"Grandma, don't worry about this. I will get 10,000 slaves to build there. I will definitely give you a different Yazhou. When the time comes, you will know what Yazhou is like when you go there!" Luo Zhang laughed. .
Although they still didn't understand Luo Zhang's plan, since Luo Zhang had said so, they couldn't say much. They had been given the land and couldn't change it even if they wanted to.
Seeing that everyone was finally appeased, Luo Zhang was relieved. He was not the kind of person who acted arbitrarily, but he cared about the opinions of his family, otherwise he wouldn't have explained so much.
After all, what did he do so much for? Not for the family!
In the land of South Vietnam, the war is in full swing. In Yangang, Sun Renshi has blocked the attack of the fleet of the Great Food Kingdom seven or eight times.
In the past few times, Master Sun Ren was not under any pressure. After all, the fleet of the Great Food Nation, which had been constantly crippled, was no threat to him at all. If they dared to get close, Master Sun Ren would not be lenient and would directly tell them how to behave.
But things were different the next time. Sun Renshi clearly discovered that there were a lot more ships in the fleet of the Great Food Country. It seemed that the Great Food Country had sent another ship.
Originally, it was nothing for Sun Renshi's fleet to resist the disabled Dashi Nation ships, but now there were so many enemy ships. Although he could withstand them, he wanted to beat up the Dashi Nation ships like before. But it’s not possible anymore.
