"Brother, please leave the Western Region to me, and I will do a good job for you." As a brother, Li Hu felt that he should have greater rights, not just dominate the broken island of Ceylon.

Make blessings.

This is the duality of technology. Since the advent of radio, many secrets are no longer secrets. In the past, it would have taken at least a month and a half for the news of Zu Dashou's accident to reach places as far away as Ceylon.

Compared with the Chongzhen era, this is an efficiency that is unimaginable.

But radio waves only took one day to spread the news to the Middle East.

Li Hu thought this was an opportunity and immediately took the fastest airship and flew back to the capital regardless of the danger.

"Don't worry about the affairs of the Fourth Division. Take care of your Ceylon Island. By the way, there is a place called Diego Garcia in the south of Ceylon Island for you to occupy. Have you occupied it?" Li Xiao said softly,

Let Li Hu's sins these days be wiped out.

"Diego Garcia? I asked around, it's a small island with only a few natives, no...!"

"You haven't sent anyone to occupy it yet? The geographical location of that island is very important. Your second brother wants to build a military port there. You can go back now and the labor will be paid on your island of Ceylon. As for the cost, the court will pay half of it and you will pay the other half.

Ask your second brother to raise funds.

Agricultural taxes are being abolished in China, and finances are somewhat tight."

"How difficult is it to get a few savages to work as laborers? As long as they have enough food to eat, they will follow and work obediently. Brother, let me talk about the things in the Western Regions...!"

"I said, don't worry about the affairs of the Western Regions. The Ming Dynasty needs long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions, not for you to cause harm. You have managed an island like Ceylon and starved people all over the place. Thousands of miles of the Western Regions need to be managed. How can you manage it?

Is it like this? What a wonderful island of Ceylon, such a prosperous place, but you actually caused famine."

"Brother, what I am...!"

"What is that! After all, the Island of Ceylon has a population of one million, and it is also a transit point for Indian Ocean trade. How many cargo ships need to add water to the Island of Ceylon.

In a good place with three crops a year, you can actually prevent famine. What will you do if you go to the Western Regions? How much food will the imperial court have to fill it with?

Forget it! Zu Dashou is a hundred times more capable than you, and he died in the Western Regions. I don’t want Hu Niu to come to me and ask for her father.” Li Xiao really hates Li Hu when he hates iron.

Of the three younger brothers and one younger sister, the least promising one is actually Li Hu.

When I was young, I was quite honest and honest, but now I can't do anything well. I still want to do everything all day long, and I don't have enough people to worry about money.

"Brother, we are blood brothers. I have followed you in the army since I was a child. I led the troops to North Korea to fight against the Tatar soldiers. I led the troops into the capital and was almost killed by Shuntian Prefecture.

In Gansu, I was almost blown to pieces by Mongolian artillery shells. Look, look, this scar is definitely not fake.

The second child is very capable, and I can’t compete with him, so I won’t compete. But the fourth child, who is one year younger than me, actually entered the cabinet. What’s wrong with me just wanting a barren Western Region?

Liu Bang became the emperor and made kings for his brothers. I want a barren Western Region. What's wrong? Why can't I just say it all?

Brother, we can't be so obvious about favoring one over another. We are all princes who dominate one side, but I am such a broken island? Why? Why?

Ever since I was discharged from the hospital after my injury, you have disliked me."

Li Hu roared and threw the fruit plate on the coffee table far away.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly knocked open, and Shunzi rushed in with several guards carrying guns.

"Come on! Fight here, fight here." Li Hu tore open his shirt and faced the guards with his scar-covered chest.

Shunzi stood awkwardly at the door, refusing to go in or go out. But at least he got the guards to put down their guns!

"Get out! Get out!" Li Xiao waved his hand impatiently.

"Lao San! The Western Region is different from Ceylon."

"What's different? You couldn't hold it back and killed all the Mongols and Uyghurs. People who are not from my race must have different intentions. You said it." Li Hu really roared like a tiger.

"Shut up! What do you know? Who told you to talk to me like this? Get out!" Li Xiao was so angry that his veins jumped.

"What are you doing! You want those people from the Overwatch Council to arrest me! Arrest! Arrest! Let them arrest your biological brother. Let people see how you treat your biological brother."

"Come here!" Li Xiao shouted loudly, and more than a dozen guards appeared at the door again, but this time they did not hold guns.

"Catch me! Catch me!"

"Put it down!"

"No need to hold me, I'll go by myself. Brother, I'm waiting for you to kill me." The furious Li Hu looked at Li Xiao fiercely.

"Put it down!"

"promise!"

Several guards dragged Li Hu down, and Li Xiao was so angry that his chest heaved.

I sat behind my desk and panted for a long time before I calmed down. A pair of white hands brought me a cup of tea.

"Dad, don't be angry with Third Uncle, let's drink tea!" Li Lin held the teacup in both hands, blinking his big eyes.

"Hey...!" Li Xiao stroked his son's head and sighed deeply.

Among the brothers since childhood, Li Hu had the most violent temper. When he was studying with Mao Wenlong, this boy was also the one who was lazy the most.

Without learning or skills, he could be considered tailor-made for Li Hu. Unfortunately, he didn't learn anything else quickly, but he learned very quickly in eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking.

He still had the nerve to talk about what happened in Shuntian Mansion back then. If he hadn't caused trouble in Shuntian Mansion, would I have led his troops to rob the Shuntian Mansion prison?

"Be good! Daddy is not angry with your third uncle." Li Xiao touched Li Lin's head.

I don’t know why, but as long as the father touches his son’s head, the son will usually raise his head, look at his father sideways at a 45-degree angle, and smile like an idiot.

"Dad lied, I'm not a three-year-old child. I'm eleven years old!" Li Lin gave his father a big look as punishment for fooling him.

Only then did Li Xiao realize that his son seemed to have grown up unknowingly, but the problem was... his son didn't grow much.

I don’t know what’s wrong, but Li Lin is not very tall.

Although he is not a big man from the Northeast, he is still 1.7 meters tall. But at present, Li Lin seems not to be as tall as his father.

"Okay! Your third uncle didn't learn well and many people starved to death on Ceylon Island. Now your third uncle wants to go to the Western Regions again, and dad is angry with him!"

"Uncle San should not do this. The Island of Ceylon is located at an important sea route. Although the people there are not descendants of our Han family, they are located on a transportation thoroughfare and are an important place for our Ming Dynasty to control the Indian Ocean. Therefore, we Ming people must

Only by practicing benevolent government and winning people's favor can one do it.

The Western Region is different. It is remote and has vast landforms. The Ming Dynasty occupied the Western Region in order to expand the border of our Ming Dynasty to five thousand miles. If there is a strong enemy in the north, we can obtain a buffer zone of five thousand miles for our Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, stability is the main priority here, so dad will go on a killing spree in the Western Region for the long-term peace and stability of the Western Region."

"Huh!" Li Xiao looked at his son in surprise. It was obvious that this little guy had not grown much in the past two years, but he was also very thoughtful.

"Who taught you this?" Li Xiao felt that an eleven-year-old child did not have such a far-reaching political vision.

"My mother taught me this. She said that as long as you say this, you will temporarily forget about your third uncle."

"...!" It seems that the silly son's mind still needs to be enriched.

"Okay! Let's go play. Daddy won't be angry with Third Uncle anymore." Li Xiao reluctantly patted his son on the shoulder and motioned for him to go out.

After Li Lin left for a while, Zhang Huangyan came. He came to Li Xiao to talk about Jiangnan! But when he entered, Shunzi told him about Li Hu.

After hesitation, Zhang Huangyan came in anyway.

"Commander!"

"Master Chief Assistant is here, sit down! I want to talk about Jiangnan!" Li Xiao spoke a little weakly.

"You can put the Jiangnan matter aside for a while, and I can come back another time."

"That's what you want to say about Hu Zi?"

"Uh...!" Zhang Huangyan hesitated.

"If it weren't for Hu Zi's matter, you would turn around and leave without even stepping into this office. At this moment, even Master Ao is not willing to come to this muddy pond." Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.

, I am very troubled by Li Hu’s matter.

Just in time, the old fox came and asked him if he had any good ideas.

"Will the commander let Huzi return to Ceylon Island?" Zhang Huangyan looked at Li Xiao and asked.

"Forget it, Ceylon Island needs to be managed well. That place serves as a base to contain India and also serves as a sea route. If there is starvation everywhere, the local people will hate us.

Over time, it will be very detrimental to our rule of the Indian Ocean. It is better to select a reliable official and go to Ceylon Island. The tiger will not go to harm people!

In fact, if the Western Regions were not so dangerous, I really wanted him to go to the Western Regions to experience it. But it's a pity that he can't! His personality is too impulsive, and sending him there would cause a lot of casualties to the troops.

If that's the case, I will feel sorry for the Liao Army brothers!" Li Xiao reluctantly took out a cigar and handed one to Zhang Huangyan, but Zhang Huangyan refused. This old guy is a loyal fan of Huazi and still likes to smoke Huazi.

.

"It's great if the commander thinks so, but how are you going to arrange this Tiger Lord? You can't just lock him up like this!" Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard and looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

I just hate these old guys who have become sperms. They seem to be dead if they don't show off their demeanor as an outsider.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Nothing else, Mr. Tiger cannot stay in the country. Marshal, you know that there are so many bad policies in the country now. It is the process that needs to be cleaned up slowly!

Brother Hao did a good job in Jiangnan. He did all the things that Yang Sichang did not want to do and did not have the courage to do. The demobilized officers and young students you sent redistributed the land to households.

This allows every household to have land and no longer need to be exploited by big landowners. This year, the agricultural tax has been cancelled, and the entire Jiangnan is showing off your benevolent government.

Although during this process, the methods were a little cruel, and some people were arrested and some wrong people were killed. However, the flaws did not hide the flaws, and Brother Hao did a good job indeed.
