Chapter 1453 Divide the family? It's right to divide the American continent!
Wu Haogu opened his eyes and glanced at Ouoye who was leaning against him and taking a bath with him.
This woman is very sensible and vicious, so it would be perfect to describe her as a femme fatale. She betrayed her mother, killed her brother, and broke up the Dongliao Kingdom in order to let herself share it!
Her rule in Linhuang Mansion has been brutal in recent years. She used conspiracies and tricks to provoke the struggle between the Mongols and the Jurchens (Wanyan Zonghan and other groups), causing them to fight for years, and she reaped profits.
In addition, she did not let Xiao Sesse go to Da Xi Kingdom, and she kept doing things openly and secretly, which made Xiao Sesse refuse to recognize her daughter!
But such a fairy who causes trouble is as obedient as a kitten in front of Wu Haogu. He always tries every means to make Wu Haogu happy. As long as he is with Wu Haogu, he will coax the head of Dawu to be comfortable. He also tries his best to curry favor with Juanye, who has been serving Wu Haogu for many years.
Moreover, Okuno never breaks through Wu Haogu's "red line". She and Xiao Sesse can fight to the death, but they must not touch the children born by Wu Haogu and Xiao Sesse.
So even though Wu Haogu saw through Ouoye's character, he still spoiled her. He even admired her such a powerful woman, but she almost had nothing to do with her!
How could Wu Haogu not appreciate such a woman? Moreover, he is not an emperor now, and he doesn't even make an elder. He is mainly a businessman! No matter how vicious a femme fatale is, he cannot pose any threat to him.
"The New World is not full of gold," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "but it is a chosen country!"
"The chosen country?" Oo Okuno's eyes lit up, "Is it the chosen country by the sons of God for the officials?"
"Hahaha..." Wu Haogu laughed loudly, "Oo Okuno, what do you think?"
"It must be!" Ooye smiled, "Official, I have raised three sons for the official, and the territory of Linhuang Mansion is not enough."
"What's good about the territory of Linhuang Mansion?" Wu Haogu stroked Da'aoye's smooth and tender skin, "I'm cold and poor, and I don't earn 100,000 silver coins a year. I can just make ten times the income in the New World."
It turned out that Wu Haogu didn't want Oono's son to inherit the territory of Linhuang Mansion.
Where is Linhuang Mansion? It is just the east side of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in later generations.
If you only compare resources and land, don’t compare with the American plains, even Mexico is not as good as Mexico! Venezuela and Brazil are also better than Inner Mongolia! Venezuela has a lot of oil, what is in eastern Inner Mongolia?
Now all North and South America are empty! There are 50 states in one America alone. How many territories does South America add to North America? How many sons are Wu Haogu? One person and one state can’t occupy at all. Even if the sons of Wu Yiyong, Wu Yixin and Wu Yijiu are added, there is no one America... What else can you seal the country? Let’s keep them all to build a republic.
"Everyone goes to the New World?" Ouono turned his head and looked at Wu Haogu, "How to go?"
"Of course I went by boat!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "It's just a cost. Without gold, it's impossible to go. With gold, that's all. At least the boat ticket is not a problem!"
It is not easy to go to the New World. The easiest one is the route to Wujiazhuang, the Arctic Ocean, Yinzhou, Japan. The one-way trip is more than 20,000 miles!
It takes about a year to go back and forth!
It is almost time to scrap a 20 round trip on an ocean-going sailing ship, just a round trip is amortization of shipbuilding funds, and a round trip is several thousand. In addition, there are ship maintenance, crew salary, port entry and exit costs and supply costs, plus reasonable profits. You will get more than 10,000 silver coins when you travel to the new continent!
It is considered very successful to transport 200 living immigrants to the New World at a time.
200 people will bear tens of thousands of silver coins, and one person will have dozens of silver coins.
This is the lowest cost of immigrating to the New World!
If you want the colony to be truly successful, you have to transport a large amount of production. Fortunately, Wu Yiyong has conquered most of the Japanese country. The immigration cause of the New World can rely on Japan to provide logistics supplies, which is much lower.
Otherwise, if an immigrant does not have 200 silver coins, he will not be able to take root in the New World. Even with the Japan transit station and logistics base, the cost of an immigrant successfully taking root in the New World will not be less than 100 silver coins.
If there is no gold, silver, and Wu Haogu's wealth in the New World, he will not be able to bring too many people over.
But now it’s easy to deal with, 100 silver coins are 8 taels or 9 taels of gold.
As long as an immigrant can find this amount of gold in the New World, the travel fee will be released.
Historically, when gold was discovered in California, USA, gold diggers flocked from all over the world. The local population increased tenfold in a short period of time!
This gold rush lasted for decades. During this period, the western United States produced billions of dollars worth of gold, about 100 million taels! It was enough to pay for tens of millions of people to move to the New World...
Of course, in the 12th century, it is impossible to dig out so much gold in a few decades if the technology of digging gold is not up to standard.
However, as long as one tenth of it is not the output of more than 10 million taels in the western United States, the entire North and South America can have this output and pay millions of immigrants' travel expenses, it is enough to turn the New World into the home of the Chinese nation forever.
In the original history, during the peak of the Spanish Empire, 5,500 kilograms of gold and 246,000 kilograms of silver could be transported back from the New World every year, that is, 180,000 taels of gold and more than 8 million taels of silver.
It is enough to pay the travel expenses of 100,000 people!
Therefore, as long as the gold and silver of the New World are developed, and at the same time, Japan becomes part of the Great Zhou Republic, it will be possible to colonize the New World on a large scale.
"Okuno," Wu Haogu asked his little wife with a smile, "Do you know how to turn the territory of the New World into the territory of children?"
"This..." Ooyuno nodded for a moment, "Of course, he was the ban on the tribe. A son sealed 3,000 households and sent these 3,000 households to the New World."
This is the method of enfeoffment and colonization! The nobles on the grassland are so familiar with them.
The so-called exile outside is not a fiefdom, but a seal of households and populations.
The fiefdom is useless. If there is no one, why should you take up the territory?
Therefore, the real feudal expansion was "Genghis Khan-style", which divided the Mongolians into 95 thousand households, and then granted them to their younger brothers and sons. Then they allowed some of them to leave their hometowns and expand to the east and west.
"There are more than 3,000 households," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "1,000 households are almost the same, and there are 1,000 households, which is enough to support a large piece of fiefdom in the New World."
He paused, "Okuno, you take 4,000 households out, and I will turn around and let Sesse cut out 4,000 households. In this way, Okuno's son will have tribes. With these 8,000 households, the indigenous countries in southern North America will be over!"
Wu Haogu reserved territories for his 8 Khitan/Xi sons. Although it was not as good as the eastern and central United States, it was a good place in the early American colonial era in history.
Moreover, the central and eastern United States is too far from the Pacific Ocean, so Wu Haogu's sons can't go there at once.
"Southern? Who are the north?" asked Ouono.
Wuhao Ancient Road: "There must be directly under the government's jurisdiction near Wujiazhuang!"
The land in the New World cannot be sealed out, and the key areas must be directly controlled by the government.
"A few more chambers of commerce territories are set up south of Wujiazhuang to divide the territory for Yiyong, Yijiu and Yixin. Give them the territory, and give them some startup capital, so that they can raise funds and recruit immigrants by themselves.
As for other sons, the territory of Yiyong, Yijiu and Yixin has begun to take shape and will be sealed eastward. In the future, they can be sealed to the South American continent, and they can always occupy it!"
The grassland-style method of enfeoffment of Thousand Houses is certainly not the only method, and the model of the franchised chamber of commerce is now very mature. So Wu Haogu was planning to hand over the easier territory to the franchised chamber of commerce controlled by Yiyong, Yijiu and Yixin. As for whether they would establish a republic or a kingdom in the Chamber of Commerce territory in the future, Wu Haogu would not ask.
...
"Mei Niang, I just received a report from Mingzhou that a Shen A exploration ship has returned..."
At the same time, Zhao Kai was reporting the news he had just received to Wu Meiniang, who was erecting a big belly and was waiting for childbirth.
He was still as afraid of his wife as usual. Even if his wife was unable to attend court because of childbirth, he still couldn't control the real power.
Wu Meiniang has been working hard to produce children in recent years! She also has a mainland that can be divided into bans, so she needs to have a few more sons.
I have to give birth by myself, and I can't let Zhao Kai take concubine to give birth... It's really hard!
"Only one ship is back?" Wu Meiniang frowned, "The other three ships..."
Zhao Kai shook his head, "I encountered a storm!
But there are still some gains! My previous calculations seem to be wrong. Antarctica is not in the scorching sea south of the Sanfoqi Strait... but in the extremely cold place further south!
The circumference of the earth is estimated to be more than 80,000 miles!
In addition, the Americas we discovered in the south and the Americas that the Zhou Kingdom discovered east of the Eastern Ocean should be two continents."
"Two continents?" Wu Meiniang blinked her eyes, "Then let's change the name of the continent south of South China Sea, and it's Xinsong."
"Xin Song?" Zhao Kai nodded, "Okay... Madam, how should this Xin Song be granted?"
"Transfer the New Song?" Wu Meiniang thought for a while, "Let's not divide the New Song Dynasty for the time being... We don't have many descendants, there are only three in total. Let's first gather the New Song Dynasty together, and then expand it in the Hekou (Chia Nan River) Mansion in the South Ocean, and become a country. In addition, the Great Song Dynasty (referring to the Eastern Song Dynasty) will have three family businesses. If we can have more descendants in the future, consider expanding to the Small Western Ocean (referring to the Indian Ocean).
Zhao Kai nodded, "Okay, it's all based on what my wife said."
