Become a feudal king from today

"So that's what happened. Read М" Zhao Xu suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization.

Of course, this is pretending.

Since these royal families flocked to Yanzhou, he had no intention of paying them monthly salary or annual salary.

Currently, there are only three to four thousand members of the royal family in Yancheng.

He can do it.

But in the future, when he unifies Dasong, hundreds of thousands of royals all over Dasong will come to him and ask for money.

Besides, these royals will have children if they don't do anything.

When a child is born, he reports it to the clan government and asks for endless amounts of money per head.

In contemporary history, the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty is directly related to supporting the huge royal family.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to raise a group of royal children who do nothing all day long and are idle and romantic.

However, many royal families have poured into Yanzhou, and it is impossible not to solve the problems of this group of people.

We can't wait until they cause trouble and then kill them all.

It is indeed necessary to show them a way to survive.

However, this path will never allow them to dominate and dominate the people.

Now, since the clan leader Zhao Fan, who represents the royal clan, has raised this issue in front of him, he can no longer escape.

This matter will be completely resolved today.

So he said: "The imperial court is currently in financial difficulty. Spending such a huge sum of money to support the royal family members will be a heavy burden on Yanzhou's finances. Moreover, Yanzhou will face a war with the Yan Alliance. When the time comes, it will be needed The amount of money is even greater.”

Zhao Fan sighed.

In fact, most of the royal family members who can go to Yanzhou are relatively wealthy.

But even if they are rich, there will be a day when they are left with nothing, which inevitably makes them worry about the future.

Originally, he was unwilling to raise this issue to King Yan at this time.

However, these royal family members could not see King Yan, but they could go to his house every day to complain.

In desperation, he decided to report the matter to King Yan.

So he said: "I also know how uncomfortable His Highness is. I will try to find a way to avoid this matter when I go back later."

"Actually, it's not necessary." Zhao Xu smiled. This Zhao Fan was still sensible, so he allowed this Zhao Fan to participate in the court proceedings.

When Zhao Fan heard this, he looked expectant, "What do you mean by His Highness?"

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment. In fact, he had been thinking about this matter during this period, and now he had a mature idea.

He said: "Everyone is responsible for the country's crisis. As a member of the royal family, we should shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the country instead of relying on the few taels of silver allocated by the court to live in ignorance."

"So, I am planning to establish a royal pioneering group and build a royal estate. In this way, members of the royal family can receive a portion of the dividends from the income of the royal estate every year to support themselves."

"Royal Pioneer Corps?" Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Xu nodded, "In recent years, the Ningjin Dusi and Jinzhou have suffered from alien troubles. Ten houses have been empty, and large areas of land have been abandoned. Even though I have recruited refugees from all over the place to cultivate land, it is still not enough to restore the amount of fertile land in its heyday. These abandoned fertile fields It’s a pity to abandon it, it’s better to leave it to the royal family.”

Liu Fu nodded. At present, the land that King Yan has granted the most is land, especially Ningjin Dusi and Jinzhou, which are basically uninhabited.

If King Yan's plan is to capture Qinzhou and Yongzhou in the future, there will be even more idle land.

Rather than leaving these lands idle, it would be better to leave them to the royal family to develop.

It's just that this is not an easy job, and King Yan is indeed cruel to the royal family members.

This Royal Pioneer Corps sounds mighty, but it is actually equivalent to the agricultural camp formed when recruiting refugees.

Zhao Fan naturally realized it, and he was stunned for a moment.

How could these pampered royal children afford such suffering?

I'm just afraid that if this matter is revealed, they will cause trouble.

So he said: "Your Highness, this seems inappropriate."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xu's eyes turned around Zhao Fan's face. He knew what Zhao Fan was worried about.

So he said: "I would like to ask you, is it easy for me to come to this dangerous place in Yanzhou and establish the current foundation?"

"Of course it's not easy." Zhao Fan blushed and suddenly felt ashamed.

I can't even find any words to refute.

Among the royal family members, who suffered as much as King Yan? How many difficulties do you face?

Zhao Xu continued: "Furthermore, I did not let them farm in person. If they have the ability, they will go to Yahang to buy slaves, or go to Goryeo, Japan, or Beidi to capture people to farm for them."

He did this in order to force the royal family's children to plunder the population from outside.

Instead of scrolling inside the poem.

If this model succeeds, these royal families will be able to establish plantations in places like Ningjindusi and Jinzhou similar to those in the American South in the 19th century.

This will provide Yanzhou with a steady stream of agricultural products, such as cash crops such as cotton and potatoes.

With the development of the textile industry, Yanzhou's demand for cotton is now increasing.

Most need to be imported from elsewhere.

In this way, members of the royal family have a way to survive, and the supply of raw materials in Yanzhou has also been partially solved.

In the future, if he can capture Ningjin Dusi's territory further north, he will let the Royal Pioneer Corps take the lead and continue to develop northward.

It is not enough to simply conquer the territory; it must be occupied by immigrants.

The weapon of immigrant reproduction is more powerful than the atomic bomb.

Aren’t the royal family capable of giving birth? Then let the hundreds of thousands of Dasong's royal family immigrate and fight for their lives.

In the future, he will also introduce policies to encourage childbirth.

There is not much time left for Da Song. He must occupy and immigrate at the same time to control the territory he will conquer in the future.

Otherwise, a hundred years from now, this world will be like today, with the most important resource areas in the hands of the Westerners.

"This..." Zhao Fan was still hesitant.

When Zhao Xu saw this, his tone became stern: "Tell them, this is the king's final decision. If a member of the royal family does not fulfill his responsibilities, he should not think about his rights as a royal family."

"It's okay if they don't want to join the pioneering group. They can give up their royal status, but if they want to cause trouble, I don't mind dealing with them."

Zhao Fan trembled in his heart and lowered his head.

This King of Yan did not receive any help from any members of the royal family when he was in the capital, and he only fought his way through Yanzhou on his own.

He has nothing to do with them. If he offends him, he will definitely be the unlucky one.

After all, this was a ruthless character who beat the shit out of Beidi. He absolutely believed that King Yan would do what he said and would clean up the troubled royal family.

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Fan bowed and responded.

After deciding the matter, Zhao Xu ordered the ministers to disperse.

At this time, Yang He suddenly said with a smile, "Your Highness, I also have something to report."
