Li Hu sat in the chair feeling uneasy. It looked like there were nails under his buttocks, and his whole body was twisted like maggots.

Li Xiu and Li Hao stood aside, and Li Xiao didn't let them come. But after the two of them got wind of the news, they sneaked in shamelessly and stayed there. No one dared to chase these two brothers out, so they just did it.

Come down.

Li Xiao walked into the room and took a glance.

Li Hu saw his elder brother coming in and immediately stood up: "Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have talked back to you!"

"You're good! You still know that you're wrong. Sit down! You two, the fourth child, all sit down. Today we brothers will talk about the third child." Li Xiao gestured to Li Xiu and Li Hao, motioning for them to sit down.

Down.

Li Hu was stunned for a moment. The three brothers looked at each other and all sat on the chairs. Li Hao swallowed nervously, wondering what the eldest brother would do to the third brother.

"Third brother! I understand that you want to do something. Everyone wants to do something, but this is not your way. Since you want to do something, then I will give you something to do.

There is a large island sailing northwest from Singapore City, called Sri Lanka. Now the court wants to attack there, but the two old foxes don't want to spend military funds. We can only do things ourselves. Of course, the court has no input and output.

Naturally, there is nothing to do with the imperial court.

I've thought about it, so I'll give you the island." Li Xiao took out a cigarette from his pocket, struck a match and lit it.

"Brother, that island is in the hands of Wu Sangui. And Sri Lanka is very close to India. Brother...!" Li Xiu was surprised when he heard Li Xiao's plan.

Sri Lanka is so close to India that you can reach the nearest place by paddling a small wooden boat. There has always been a fort built by Wu Sangui here. There are heavy troops stationed on the island, which is not easy to capture.

The imperial court said that if there was no military spending, it would be impossible to use the imperial army. One of its marines was to defend Singapore Port, and the other had already penetrated deep into Australia to wipe out the British and restless natives there. It did not have any

He spared no effort to help Li Hu complete the feat of capturing Sri Lanka.

"I have already discussed with Mouri Hidemoto and Tokugawa Katsuyori. They will provide 10,000 people. In addition, Jiaozhi can also recruit 10,000 people. The King of Korea, Li Zhu, is willing to provide 5,000 people! In total, you have 20,000 people.

An army of five thousand men.

These people need to be trained by yourself, and I will equip you with weapons and equipment. Except for Maxims and howitzers, I will allocate them to you. However, these weapons are considered as credit, and you need to use Sri Lanka's output in the future to repay them.

After all, the arsenal belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the accounts outside the home must be settled clearly." Li Xiao said while smoking.

Li Hu was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. Li Xiu finally understood that this was equivalent to dividing the family and giving Li Hu a share of the industry to start his own business. The court would not provide the money, so Li Hu could only

Organize it yourself.

There is nothing incomprehensible about this. Even if the emperor wants to use money, he can only use Ouchi money. It is very difficult to transfer money from the Ministry of Accounts.

"I want Maxim!" Li Hu bargained angrily.

"Maxin can't give it to you, and neither can the howitzer. I can give you at most 800 Aka 47 rifles, the latest model, which can fire continuously." Li Xiao drew his bottom line without reservation.

Li Hu's eyes were chattering and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"As for the attack on Sri Lanka, I need the help of your second brother. He has ships in his hands, and the warships are also under his control. But we have agreed that Sri Lanka will be conquered. The profits will belong to our Li family, so I will not interfere. You need every year

Give dividends to the second and fourth children. If Xiaoyu gets married in the future, you will need to buy a large dowry."

"I haven't mentioned it yet. The output of this island will definitely go to the second brother and the fourth brother. When Xiaoyu gets married, I will definitely give a large dowry." Li Hu immediately agreed, patting his chest.

"That island has not yet been developed. There are various minerals there. Titanium, zircon, mica, and graphite are all of the highest quality. In addition, it produces top-quality rubies and sapphires. Boy, that island is very rich.

"Foolish people have foolish luck. Sri Lanka has not yet been developed in these days. Many people step on some gems sporadically, but they don't know that there are rich gemstone deposits on the island.

With this island, Li Hu will definitely not worry about money in the future.

Of course, such a big industry must have a share of brothers Li Xiu and Li Hao. This is not because Li Xiao is harsh, because his industry also has a share of Li Xiu, Li Hao and Li Hu. The Li family's business belongs to the Li family

, although Li Xiao wanted to give Xiaoyu a share, but the strong feudal ethics and ethics were not something Li Xiao could break through. Girls are girls, they can give dowries but they absolutely cannot inherit family property.

The inertia of more than two thousand years has strong power, and Li Xiao did not dare to overthrow it rashly.

"What about the ammunition?" Li Hu suddenly remembered another important issue. In Egypt, he had suffered enough from the lack of ammunition. He did not want to worry about ammunition when he defended Sri Lanka in the future.

"On credit!" Li Xiao was also helpless. When he was fighting the world naked, he didn't have so much help.

When he fled in Liaoyang, Li Xiao didn't even know if he would see the sun tomorrow. Who would have thought that today he would have more than 20,000 troops to help Li Hu start his business. The weapons were automatic firearms, and there were even

The blessing of rocket launchers and mortars. Compared with Li Xiao's time, it is really like heaven and earth.

Sometimes Li Xiao himself wonders how he got rich all these years. It seems that after running away from Liaoyang City, the only thing he had left was this piece of clothing.

Li Humei walked away with a smile on his face, looking for his subordinates who were going to take over the Japanese soldiers, Jiaozhi soldiers, Korean soldiers, and even a place for military training. Li Xiao helped him find a place for training.

Hainan Island!

There, Li Xiao could train these soldiers on how to seize the beach and land on the beach, and how to fight with the weapons in their hands. Fighting is a science, and it cannot be fooled by lightly talking about it.

Sending untrained soldiers to the battlefield is actually a waste of human life. No matter whether these people are Japanese, Koreans, or Cochins.

Unknowingly, Li Xiao discovered that he already had 100,000 Japanese soldiers under his command, and they were all elite Japanese soldiers. There was nothing to say about fighting, and these Japanese soldiers were quite disciplined. What were they supposed to do?

What do you do? You don’t pay the common people a penny when you buy groceries on weekdays. You are a mess about obeying the law, which makes Li Xiao a little confused.

In memory, dirty, obscene, despicable, shameless, greedy, too... almost all negative words can be put on the heads of the Japanese soldiers. As the ancestors of the Japanese, they are qualified to enjoy this treatment.

But what happened in front of him was seriously inconsistent with Li Xiao's memory.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao could only think of one reason.

powerful!

The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the East, and even in the world. The country is booming, and the army is invincible. In the Far East, no country dares to twist the beard of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the mountain-like Ming Dynasty makes all the surrounding countries breathless.

It is precisely because of the Ming Dynasty that the Japanese country is divided. The Tokugawa family and the Mori family dislike each other, but no one dares to do anything. Because as long as one party takes action, it will break the peace agreement and will definitely be beaten severely by the Ming Dynasty.

!

Jiaozhi is also divided. The two sons of King Ruan of Jiaozhi carried out selfless killings in the Indochina Peninsula. In order to buy ammunition from the Ming Dynasty, Jiaozhi, where rice is harvested three times a year, actually suffered an appalling famine. These two princes,

All the rice was sold to the chicken farmers of the Ming Dynasty. All the money obtained was used to buy long guns and short cannons, and they continued to shoot in the tropical jungle.

As for Tibet, Gesar has gained confidence with the support of the Ming Dynasty. He is constantly fighting the lamas in the Potala Palace, with casualties on both sides. It is said that after every battle, the sky is filled with vultures eating corpses.

.

The only place where people can live a very nourishing life, and live freely and peacefully, is Korea on the peninsula.

Li Xiao, the king of Goryeo, sent gifts to Li Xiao every three days. A young guy insisted on treating himself as a junior. The letter he wrote to Li Xiao was so humble. Why do you want to listen to the commander's instructions often?

He promptly asked the commander-in-chief for instructions, and even said that Ming Dynasty was the mother state of North Korea, so Li Xiao was the mother-in-law of all North Korean people.

Faced with such disgusting words, Li Xiao simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I am a big old man, but I made you write like a big old woman.

Not only did he send things to Li Xiao, but he was also unambiguous about trade with the Ming Dynasty. The exported products included iron ore, wood, copper ore, rice, Korean red ginseng, beautiful Korean beauties...and so on...!

The nobles of North Korea spare no effort in selling their country's resources. Because they like the exquisite handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty and various industrial products. In North Korea, if you can get a bicycle as a dowry when you get married, that is quite a big deal.

It's a matter of honor. When you go to your husband's house, you will be looked down upon.

When North Korean nobles get married, three mirrors and one mirror have become standard equipment. The three mirrors are bicycles, sewing machines, and large clocks, and the first mirror is a large dressing mirror. Anyone who does not have these supplies when getting married is embarrassed to tell others that he is a noble.

Relatives and friends will also dislike this family in every possible way. In order to buy these things, countless wealthy North Koreans have emptied their wealth. These things are not something ordinary families can afford in the Ming Dynasty.

Koreans admire the Ming Dynasty very much and think that the things of the Ming Dynasty are good things.

Anyway, everything that comes from the Ming Dynasty represents advancement and trend. No one will doubt the high-end nature of the Ming Dynasty products. Even the erotic pictures produced by the Ming Dynasty are better sold than those drawn by North Korea.

This kind of North Korea is what Li Xiao likes to see. It has turned into a lapdog, and it is nothing to reward him with a bite of food. Anyway, North Korea does not have an army.

The last time Li Yongfang reported the number of North Korean troops, it shocked Li Xiao's jaw. There were only three thousand regular troops in such a huge North Korea. Of these three thousand, two thousand were the bodyguards of King Li Zhu of North Korea.

The remaining one thousand dismantled the large cities garrisoned in North Korea.

After asking three times, Li Yongfang said there was no mistake. Li Zhu was not worried about foreign aggression. He was only worried about the rebellion of the North Korean nobles. So he spared no effort in disarmament. Basically, he disbanded all the troops.

The Guard has become the largest armed group in North Korea.

Li Xiao was still tolerant towards North Korea, which was not threatening at all. Among the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea was the only country without territorial disputes, and the atmosphere in the entire country was harmonious.

Before you know it, time flies by.

Li Xiu and Li Hu left together. Tens of thousands of people were stationed in Hainan for training, which required a lot of things. The navy had a base in Hainan, and Li Xiu could provide the necessary help.

Li Hao did not return to the Western Regions, but went straight to Guanzhong. He wanted to build a railway into and out of Shu!

Since ancient times, the road to Shu has been difficult to reach the sky. Bashu is rich in grain and various materials, but they cannot be effectively transported out for effective exchange with other places in the Ming Dynasty. Without exchange, there will be no economic development, and the central government's control over the land of Bashu will also weaken.

.

Now that Ming Dynasty has railways and trains, Sichuan cannot be allowed to continue like this. Only with full circulation of people and materials can Sichuan and Ming Dynasty be more closely integrated.

With his mission and rights, Li Hao went to Bashu.

Sun Chengzong admired Li Hao very much and thought that the child would have a future. He forced Li Xiao to marry his most beloved granddaughter to Li Hao.

For this kind of thing, Li Xiao is happy to see it come to fruition. As long as two people are optimistic about each other, Li Xiao will not have any objection. Just before Li Hao left, the two had a long-distance blind date under the arrangement of Tokugawa Chiki

.

It is said that Li Hao was dressed very badly that day, and the whole process was very elegant. He even read a few poems to the girl from a distance. I don’t know which scholar he stole them from!

Chitose Tokugawa said that the girl was also very satisfied with Li Hao.

When Li Xiao asked Li Hao for his opinion, it was rare for this boy to blush. He had the posture of digging his head into his crotch, with a smile on his face, but he still wanted to hold it in. The result was that he looked like he was having trouble defecating!

If his men in Shu hadn't reported that an oil field seemed to have been discovered in a certain area, Li Hao would have had to wait until he got engaged before he could make the trip.

Li Xiao feels very relieved that his younger brothers have a sheltered home. In his previous life, he was an only child and never had such a feeling. Now that he has become the eldest brother, he realizes that it is really not easy to be the boss.

Li Xiao felt a headache when he saw Xiaoyu pulling Li Lin and running around the yard all day long.

After Xiaoyu's incident, Xiaoyu stopped talking to Li Xiao for a while. It wasn't until Li Xiao was seriously ill and almost died that she put aside her past grudges and came to the capital to see Li Xiao.

Now Xiaoyu lives in Li Xiao's back house, and plays with Li Lin all day long. Tokugawa Chiki has secretly and openly arranged for a young young man with an innocent family background to come to his house several times, and even said that he was the husband invited by Li Lin.

Xiaoyu didn't pay any attention to these gentlemen, as if these beautiful men walking in front of her were all transparent. There was a guy with no eyes who just looked at Xiaoyu for a while, and Xiaoyu rushed over and slapped him twice in the mouth.
