Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 777, leave a way out for yourself
"Son, come here~"

Liu Jin was nursing a baby in his own home. Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen each gave birth to a son for Liu Jin, but counting, the time Liu Jin spends with the two little guys is very limited.

He is either busy with affairs in the court or with the affairs of his subordinate industries, and rarely has time to play with his children.

After finally having time today, Liu Jin also decided to play with the children at home.

"Stinky boy~stinky boy~"

However, Liu Jin had only just played for a while, and immediately a rough voice came over.

"Oh~ I can't play with you again."

Liu Jin knew who was coming as soon as he heard it, and immediately shook his head helplessly, and said to the little guy apologetically.

Soon, Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzuo, and Zhou Yu also walked over with smiles on their faces.

"You still have time to take care of your children. You really have time to live."

Zhang Mao was also impolite, so he sat down and looked at the child being taken down, Zhang Mao also sighed.

Now the entire capital is boiling. After the treasure offering from the Governor of Ceylon in the morning, all the young and old in the capital are discussing the overseas colonies.

People with a little bit of energy are walking around, discussing the establishment of a business firm to go overseas to colonize.

Without it, jealousy!

The total value of the treasures presented by the Governor of Ceylon to Emperor Hongzhi may exceed tens of millions of taels of silver. What a huge fortune this is.

The Western United Commercial Bank made a contribution when they said donations. On the one hand, it shows that they are really rich and powerful, but on the other hand, it also shows the wealth of Ceylon Island.

It is said that the value of the property seized by the Western United Commercial Bank on the island of Ceylon exceeded more than [-] million taels of silver, so it was able to easily take out tens of millions of taels of silver and donate it to Emperor Hongzhi.

With such a huge amount of wealth, the Western United Commercial Bank only dispatched [-] troops plus about [-] entourages to defeat it, and its own casualties were minimal.

Who would not be envious of such a huge wealth obtained at such a small price?
The significance of Ceylon Island is too great, and it is far from being measured by the little gems it produces. With Ceylon Island, the Western Union Company has walked on the wave of the private colonial era.

In the future, the area that the Western United Commercial Bank can occupy will be very vast. Among other things, Tianzhu in the north of Ceylon Island has almost become the meat in the mouth of the Western United Commercial Bank.

People with energy in the capital can't sit still.

The same is true for him Zhang Mao, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzuo, and Zhou Yu couldn't sit still anymore, so they came to find Liu Jin together.

"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"The eyes are red, do you have pink eye disease?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Mao, smiled and said.

"Stinky boy, you still make fun of me."

"Do you know, if we don't do it again, I'm afraid the whole world will not have our private colony in the future."

"The pair of idiots of the Zhang brothers are actually organizing a team now, preparing to go overseas to occupy a few colonies, and my vassal kings from various places in Ming Dynasty are now preparing their troops to occupy a colony in Haiwa. "

"In addition to large and small commercial firms, powerful clans, wealthy families, etc., there are too many people who are planning to go overseas to colonize, why are you in no hurry?"

Zhang Maohu glared at Liu Jin, this kid didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's the hurry?"

"Don't we have a Tianjin ocean trading company? Just on the Golden Continent, the Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire use gold and silver to build pyramids for us every year. Didn't you get the same gold and silver that was shipped back last time?"

Liu Jin replied with a smile.

"That's different. It was a partnership between us and His Majesty and the prince. After all, it is still His Majesty's. We still need to be the same as the Western Union Company. Our family partners together to build a colony overseas, so what will happen in the future? , our family at least has a way out, doesn’t it?”

Zhang Mao shook his head helplessly and said.

Even though he is already a prince of the country and has accumulated a huge amount of wealth with Liu Jin in the past few years, he still wants to leave a way out for his Zhang family.

An overseas private colony is a very good choice. Although a private colony is still Ming Dynasty in name, it is essentially no different from a small kingdom.

The big reason why everyone is very excited now is because they can have their own small kingdom overseas, and such a small kingdom can be passed on forever, just like laying down a country.

It doesn't need to be big, just a piece of land is enough, and it is finally leaving a piece of land for future generations.

Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzuo, and Zhou Yu next to him also nodded, Zhang Mao was right.

Since ancient times, dynasties have changed, and the ministers and nobles in the court have also changed very frequently. Once the emperor and the courtiers are now the emperor's favorites, but tomorrow may not be the case. It is also very important to leave a way out for yourself. There must be.

I had no choice before, but now that I have a choice, I naturally have to find a way to leave a way for myself and my children and grandchildren.

"Yeah, Liu Jin, our family is now sharing weal and woe. We have built a piece of land overseas together. If we manage it well, there will be another way out in the future."

Xu Guangzuo also nodded solemnly and said.

His words also made Liu Jin ponder. Speaking of it, the few families are indeed sharing weal and woe now, a bit like the big families in the Dream of Red Mansions.

Thinking about the fate of several big families in Dream of Red Mansions, Liu Jin also nodded solemnly.

Perhaps it is time to leave a way out for myself and my descendants. In Daming, everything is in the hands of the emperor, and it is better to control fate in one's own hands.

Although I am a big celebrity next to Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi has always been generous and kind, and Zhu Houzhao does not seem like a person who kills heroes, but who can say clearly about the future?

If Zhu Houzhao did not give birth to a child as in history, and the old Zhu family's country is in the hands of Zhu Houcong, what should he do?
Classmate Zhu Houcong is as intelligent as a fox, extremely suspicious, and very good at using tricks and tricks of the emperor. As an old minister, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a good life by then.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace and think more about the future.

After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin thought for a while and said, "Where do you want to fight?"

Hearing Liu Jin's words, several people immediately smiled.

Zhang Mao opened a world map, took out a pen and circled the southernmost tip of Africa on the map and said, "We want to occupy this place."

"First of all, like the Western Union, we first occupied this large island in the southeast of Africa, and then used this island as a springboard to occupy the entire southern tip of Africa."

"I heard you said that the southern tip of Africa is rich in gold, silver, and diamonds. The land here is fertile, the climate is humid, and the geographical location is quite good. It is at the transit point of important air routes. In addition, it is far enough away from Daming."

"Madagascar?"

"South Africa?"

When Liu Jin saw it, he was also slightly taken aback, but the figure of Uncle Hei appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help shaking his head immediately. Liu Jin didn't want his descendants to be mixed with these chimpanzees.

"These places are not very good, where is the place of Kunlun slaves."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, it’s better to go to South Golden Continent. South Golden Continent has a vast territory and fertile land. If nothing else, the Pampas grassland alone will be enough for his descendants to eat beef up.

"There's nothing wrong~"

"The condition of this place is very good. I have already chatted with Du Mingen. He almost arrived at these places last time, but he also knows some information about these places."

"He said those Kunlun slaves were very backward, still living in thatched huts, knew nothing, didn't understand anything, and were too lazy to die. Dealing with them was very simple and easy. A team of a thousand people was enough to conquer a large expanse of land. land."

Xu Guangzuo said indifferently, for this matter, he had already done enough homework and studied it carefully.

"Yes, yes, this place is a good place. In the future, when traveling between things, the tolls will be enough to live comfortably."

Zhang Mao stared at the map with his eyes shining. This is a good place, and he decided on it after studying for a long time.

"I heard that King Ning is also interested in Africa. If we act slowly, I'm afraid King Ning will take over."

Zhu Fu also nodded and said, is the place that King Ning likes worse?
"It's okay to occupy this place, but the native Africans must be cleaned up, and they must not be kept. Keeping these Kunlun slaves will cause endless disasters in the future."

Liu Jin thought for a while and nodded slightly. The place is indeed a good place. On a global scale, this land is a treasure.

Think about future generations. South Africa, which was ruled by white people, was the only developed country in Africa, and it also had its own mushroom bombs, which were famous all over the world in terms of agriculture and industry.

But if the problem of Kunlun slaves is not resolved, the best place is the White Pagoda, so if you really want to occupy this place, in Liu Jin's view, all the Kunlun slaves on this land must be solved.

It doesn't matter whether you drive them away or sell them to other places. In short, you can't keep them, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.

Thinking about South Africa, which has changed from a developed country to a developing country, and thinking about some things in later generations, Liu Jin suddenly felt that the land in the North Gold Continent is actually the best. The land is vast, flat, and It is very fertile and rich in resources. It is simply the place chosen by heaven. This is the most ideal private colony for me.

Well, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, so I quietly make a piece here.

　South Africa should be considered a good place, right?
