When it came to enclosure, those important party members who had just been following Zhao Lun's ship for several months and then fainted in the New World, especially those Zhao family members, all became excited.
They are a clan that is close to Emperor Zhou. With their loyalty to follow Emperor Zhou and sail thousands of miles, how can they be able to encircle a country of a hundred miles? No, it is a big country with a radius of thousands of miles, right?
Although the Qianli Kingdom in Dongzhou is not as rich and prosperous as a small county in the Song Dynasty, didn't King Zhao "fail the exam"? We are all the best friends of King Zhao. If we don't follow him and run away, when King Qin ascends the throne in the future, he won't kill everyone? After all, King Zhao who "failed the exam" did not die or be imprisoned. Instead, he went to Dongzhou to become the emperor... Under this situation, it would be difficult for the people of King Zhao's party to change their family. of. So everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow them to Dongzhou. Being able to gain a feudal country now is better than nothing, right?
Therefore, these important figures in King Zhao's party were all looking at Zhao Lun eagerly, waiting for his order so that they could go racing and staking the land.
Well, I brought all the horses, and they are all very good horses!
And those representatives from the thirteen states who have been in the New World for some years have no interest in horse racing and enclosure... and they should not race horses in the East continent enclosure, but sail boats!
Because Dongzhou is so big, the horses will be exhausted if they really race around the land...it's better to keep these horses to give birth to calves!
"Wei Qing," Zhao Lun, who had finished explaining the general direction, smiled at the top local snake in Dongzhou and knew that Zhaozhou was about Wei Sheng, "You have been in Dongzhou for many years and are familiar with the situation in the thirteen states. Please tell me, this place How should it be circled?”
After hearing this, a group of Zhao Wang Party bosses all turned their attention to Wei Sheng.
Wei Sheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Dongzhou is boundless and vast, from north to south, from west to east, I don't know how many miles there are. Dongzhou Jiedushi once sent an expedition ship to go south along the west coast of Dongzhou. I haven't seen the end of the earth for months, and I haven't seen the ports and cities of the savages..."
It's so big!
Is 1,000 miles too short?
The big bosses of King Zhao’s party’s eyes widened!
Zhao Lun was also quite satisfied, nodded, and looked at Wei Sheng again.
Wei Sheng continued: "As for how many miles there are in the Dongzhou continent, it is even more unknown... because the land route is more difficult to travel than the sea route, and the Dongzhou side is too wild, and the savages here are also I don’t know how to build roads and bridges, so it’s quite difficult for cars and horses to move!”
That’s right!
The savages here don’t even know what a cart or a horse is? What kind of roads are still being built?
Wei Sheng smiled and said: "So the thirteen states' cities on Dongzhou are all built on the seaside or riverside. If your majesty wants to imitate the Western Zhou Dynasty and feudal princes, then I suggest that you send a fleet along Dongzhou. The west sea of the earth travels southward, and every thousand miles, a river mouth or bay is found, where castles and ports are built, and then granted to the heroes of the clan, making them the foundation of the kingdom.
With the vastness of Dongzhou and the long coastline, it may be enough to seal 100 countries. "
The length of the coastline of Dongzhou Continent is about 60,000 kilometers, which is almost 120,000 miles. If a country is separated by 1,000 miles, it is 100,000 miles to seal 100 countries. But whoever wants to seal the territory in the north of Dongzhou Continent near the Arctic Ocean will be in trouble...
But if we really seal a circle around the north and south Dongzhou, we will really encircle the Dongzhou continent! In the future, it may not be so easy for the real English and real Franks to colonize.
"Okay!" Zhao Liandian nodded, "This is a way!" He paused, "Now Dongzhou already has Zhao, Qin, Wei, Chu, Yan, Han, Zheng, Qi, Lu, Wu, Yue, Jin, etc. The Thirteen States...are all mine! I plan to raise the Thirteen States to the Thirteen Kingdoms, and distribute the 100,000 people who followed me evenly among the Thirteen Kingdoms. We will first build the Thirteen States. The country was founded on the original site of the three states, and then slowly followed the sea route to the south.
I, the emperor of this continent, can also personally lead a country... Let's personally lead the Zhao Kingdom! All twelve countries except Zhao will move south in batches. Don't be in a hurry when it comes to moving to the country. Let's explore the road first, then build a stronghold and open up a route, and finally move there slowly. Even if it takes 20 years to complete slowly, there is nothing wrong with it. "
After all, Emperor Zhao has done a lot of practical things, and he is also a navy boss and has also presided over local government affairs. Of course, we know that relocating more than 200,000 people and establishing twelve feudal states cannot be hasty.
He is in his early 40s this year. If he can complete this matter by his 60th birthday, it will be considered a great success.
Maybe he can only accomplish this one big thing in his life.
Zhao Lun paused and then said: "And the territory vacated by the twelve countries moving south will be under the jurisdiction of Zhao State. I wonder what you think?"
"Your Majesty," Sheng Xin said with a slight frown, "among the thirteen states in Dongzhou, Wei and Chu are the richest. Because the land occupied by these two states is rich in gold..."
The two states of Wei and Chu happened to occupy the part of California that would later become California... and gold was discovered a few years ago!
Therefore, among the thirteen states in Dongzhou, the most valuable currently is not Zhaozhou, which has relatively developed agriculture, let alone Jinzhou, where animal husbandry is growing, but Wei and Chu, which are often flooded.
The emperor cannot have this gold-mining oil and water all to himself!
When Sheng Xin said this, the loyal ministers of King Zhao's party all looked at Zhao Lun... Everyone is so loyal, so digging for some gold or something is not too much, right?
"How about using the gold from these two states to finance the migration of other countries to the south?" Zhao Lun had already thought about this matter, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry about the shortage but the inequality... In the future, in Wei, The gold mined in the two states of Chu will be divided 50-50 between the Dongzhou court and the gold diggers. The court will take 50% and the gold diggers will take 50%. The 40% of the gold obtained by the court will be divided equally between the countries that migrated south. I don’t want even one tael. Everyone feels that How about it?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
In the main hall, there was immediately a sound of praise.
The reputation of Dongzhou Gold comes from Wei Chu, everyone has heard of it on the other side of the ocean!
There is so much gold there!
If the big guys can take profits and share the accounts, they will be rich... Although they are trapped in Dongzhou Continent and cannot return to the Song Dynasty, and they have no place to spend the gold in their hands, but it is still very happy to see !
Seeing that everyone was very happy, Zhao Lun smiled again and said: "In the feudal period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was more than just the king. I remember that below the emperor is the king, below the king are the ministers, and below the ministers are the scholars. Those who are inferior to scholars are the people of the country.
And we must treat our people well, and we don’t have to copy everything from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but we still need to have monarchs and ministers. Under the emperor is the king, and each king has his own family and country.
Under the king are the princes, who have their own cities.
Below the princes are the officials, who are the heads of one or two hundred households.
Below the officials are the scholars, who are the heads of ten and twenty households.
Below the scholars are the people of the country, and the people of the country also have fields, houses and property. As for the savages..."
The feudalism of the New World was a typical "conqueror's feudalism", with feudalism divided into layers, and contracts handed down level by level.
The advantage of doing this is low-cost expansion... There is plenty of land!
You must occupy it as soon as possible, otherwise the night will be long and you will have many dreams!
Therefore, we must reduce the cost of governance as much as possible, even if it is more extensive, it does not matter.
Anyway, let’s circle it first. As long as the territory is obtained, there will be plenty of opportunities to sort it out slowly in the future.
Of course, because the territory of Dongzhou is so large... it would be difficult for Zhao Lun to occupy it all for the rest of his life, and it would take generations of descendants to work hard!
"Your Majesty," Wei Sheng heard Zhao Lun mentioning the savages, so he reminded him, "most of the savages in Dongzhou are ferocious and difficult to control, and they don't give birth, and it is difficult to teach them to give birth. In addition, they are not used to living with us. , he will get sick and die within a short period of time."
In fact, not all the savages in Dongzhou are so ferocious, but the ones Wei Sheng and the others encountered were all hunting people, and they were certainly more ferocious.
Moreover, the nomadic people do not need to produce - the prey in Dongzhou are relatively stupid and can be caught as soon as they are caught. Therefore, the nomadic people in Dongzhou are not "curious" at all. Let alone 996, they have hunted for thousands of years. Hunting, you don’t even have a bow and arrow...
In addition, there are relatively few infectious diseases in Dongzhou... It's not that there is no such thing as bird flu! However, the savages of Dongzhou cannot tolerate many viruses and bacteria in the Old World, so after they are caught, they often get sick and die quickly.
Over time, when the people of Dongzhou discovered that the savages they captured were sick, they would immediately let them go to avoid trouble.
Sometimes (many times), savages who contracted a certain disease from the Dongzhou people would cause a catastrophe after being released back to the tribe...
In short, there are basically no savages in the Thirteen Continents of Dongzhou.
In the "Middle East Continent" area south of the Thirteen States of Dongzhou, there are actually many relatively backward countries or city-states, and various grassroots management systems exist.
The "savages" there would be engaged in farming and handicraft production, and were also used to being enslaved by the upper class... This is also the reason why the Spanish did not eliminate them in history, but enslaved them!
Although the Chinese in Dongzhou had conflicts with them and robbed them of their gold, they did not establish colonies there, so they did not know that the savages in that area were easier to rule. Of course, the savages in "Middle East Asia" cannot withstand the bacteria and viruses of the Old World... In recent years, there have been many major epidemics in "Middle East Asia", and the number of people has been much reduced!
Zhao Dian nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if there are no savages, we still have Chinese people... But we must cherish the Chinese people in Dongzhou even more! Dongzhou is extremely vast, with endless land, and there is no way to dig it. Perfect gold. This is something that the people of the Song Dynasty dare not think of. As long as we can treat our people well and let them live a good life, we can attract the people of the Song Dynasty to come over one after another. There are more people in Dongzhou. , our descendants can occupy more land and be the masters of a country and a city forever!"
If there are no "savages", then the "Chinese people" don't need to be so involved, because the "Chinese people" cannot be replaced, and their number is small now, so they have to be set as an example to fool more people!
