PNB Chapter 951 The Senate became a nursing home.
Chapter 951 The Senate became a nursing home.
Xie Baochan also gave his son some advice and said with a smile:
"Dealing with those old men, isn't it easy? First, make relatives through marriage, marry their beautiful daughters and granddaughters as concubines; second, bribe them, give them some gold, silver, treasures, delicious food and drinks; third, intimidate them, kill a disobedient elder every two years, let them know that you can decide their life and death... Fourth, sow discord, let the elders fight each other, you are in a high position, and you can control them at any time. Fifth, make friends with those far away and attack those nearby; sixth, form alliances..."
Ye Kun couldn't help laughing: "Seventh, fish in troubled waters; Eighth, besiege Wei to save Zhao; Ninth, use Li as a substitute for Tao Jiang; Tenth, destroy Guo by a false route; Eleventh, kill someone with a borrowed knife... After playing all 36 strategies in turn, the Roman Senate has been turned into a nursing home!"
In fact, some of the points Xie Baochan made are really useful.
This is the wisdom left by our Chinese ancestors.
It is also a natural reaction formed by the Chinese people in their survival after experiencing hardships, wars and struggles.
Anytime and anywhere, I can think of the Thirty-Six Strategies and have a bunch of bad ideas.
Ye Shusheng smiled and said, "It's a pity that my mother is a woman. If she was a man, it would not have been so easy for my father to fight for the world."
Xie Baochan rolled his eyes: "I learned it from your father later."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Shusheng, your mother is right. You should follow your mother's instructions. The Chinese are not only good at fighting, but also smart. You need to combine civil and military skills, and use both kindness and power to manage such a large fiefdom."
Xie Baochan added: "Also, we need to allow Chinese immigrants to live and work. We can't keep fighting. If we keep fighting, the losses will be too great."
Ye Kun agreed: "Yes, Shusheng, your mother's advice is very important. Don't be too aggressive, take it slow."
Over the years, Ye Shusheng has been fighting almost non-stop.
There were constant small fights.
Although his fighting power crushed Rome, his own subordinates also suffered some losses.
The soldiers were busy fighting and had no time to have and raise children, so the population was difficult to develop.
Relying entirely on immigration is not realistic.
It costs a lot, and after immigrants arrive, they have to adapt to the environment and settle down...
Only when the second generation of immigrants grows up can we rest easy.
Ye Shusheng nodded and said, "But father, Huang Jingzu and Shangguan Lin are in the north, constantly expanding westward and southward, and have already connected with my border. If the territory cannot be clearly divided, I am afraid there will be conflicts in the future."
Europe is in chaos right now.
The coalition forces of Shangguan Lin and Huang Jingzu have swept across Northern Europe and their influence has begun to enter the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea.
Ye Shusheng's forces also entered the Black Sea at the same time.
If things develop further, there will be conflicts.
Ye Kun nodded: "I have also been thinking about this matter. I decided to divide the fiefdom for you clearly to avoid future troubles."
Ye Shusheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "How do you plan to divide it, father?"
Ye Kun asked back: "How do you plan to divide it?"
Ye Kun felt guilty towards his son Ye Shusheng.
He went out to conquer the world when he was just a teenager.
I fell ill several times and almost died.
He encountered danger several times during battles and marches and narrowly escaped death.
Relatively speaking, Ye Feng really took advantage!
Just because he is the boss, he can rule over vast territories, become the emperor of China, and have a large number of talented people at his disposal.
Therefore, when dividing the fiefdom this time, Ye Kun also planned to favor Ye Shusheng and take care of him more.
He is the lord of new territories. Only by giving him a larger fiefdom can he develop better.
Ye Shusheng looked at the map and pondered:
"In fact, the Roman Empire is a scattered country surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea provides convenience, but it also creates geographical barriers. My power is limited now, and it is difficult to control all of Rome. I can only concentrate my power to control the eastern and northern coasts of the Mediterranean Sea."
Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "I suggest you give up the Persian Gulf and the area south of the Mediterranean. I will give you the area north of the Mediterranean, all the way to the Black Sea. From now on, the Black Sea will be your inland sea.
But the Mediterranean, as an international sea.
Your fiefdom is in the Turkish peninsula, in the western European continent, and as far as Greenland. "
As he spoke, Ye Kun drew the approximate area on the map.
This area is also very large.
Including later generations of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the Turkish Peninsula and other small countries.
But Ye Shusheng wanted to give up the occupied territories in northern Africa, the northern part of the Oil Peninsula and the Persian Gulf.
Ye Shusheng looked at it and said with a smile: "But father, if this happens, my Great Qin will lose the passage to the Red Sea Canal and it will be difficult to enter the Tianzhu Ocean. Losing the Red Sea Strait is a huge loss for me.
If I want to do business with China in the future, I will have to go around the west coast of the African continent."
Ye Kun laughed and said to Xie Baochan: "You see, our son has vision and knows the importance of the Red Sea Strait."
Until later generations, the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal have been vital throats in world trade.
Xie Baochan smiled and said, "Then please have pity on my son, Your Majesty, and hand over the Red Sea Canal to him."
Ye Kun nodded and asked Ye Shusheng: "Can you manage it?"
"The kid can." Ye Shusheng said without hesitation.
With the Red Sea Canal, there will be endless money to spend.
In the future world trade, who dares not to pay tolls for ships passing through here?
Ye Shusheng knew that China's great development was inseparable from the Grand Canal.
Ye Kun nodded: "Very good, I will hand over the canal to you, and you will keep the fiefdoms on both sides of the canal. You will also keep the northern part of the Oil Peninsula, which can be connected to the Turkish Peninsula by land. However, you should give up Persia and the Caspian Sea. You can't chew too much."
Ye Shusheng was very straightforward and clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command. I will start immediately and withdraw the troops and immigrants from Persia."
"You make the arrangements first. When I return, I will go to the Black Sea, summon Shangguan Lin and Huang Jingzu, and divide the fiefdoms between you."
Ye Shusheng thanked him and said, "Father and mother, please enjoy yourself here. I am not in a hurry."
Xie Baochan smiled and said, "There's nothing to do here. You can go back first and deal with the government affairs of Daqin. We will leave in a few days when Yingtao gets better."
Ye Kun had the same idea and asked Ye Shusheng to go back first.
Ye Shusheng smiled and said, "Father, can you give me one of the planes in Zhuo County? I also want to develop technology and study airplanes."
Ye Shusheng's Great Qin is also developing science and technology in an all-round way.
However, its foundation is weak and its talent pool is limited, so it cannot be compared with Zhuo County.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "One plane is not useful to you. How about this, I will give you an aircraft research institute, dozens of experts, and bring two planes. From now on, you can slowly explore it yourself."
Ye Shusheng was overjoyed: "Father is the one who cares the most about me and will grant my every request!"
"If you need anything, you can tell me. I will try my best to meet your requirements and make you the overseas emperor!"
Ye Kun smiled.
Ye Shusheng was not polite and made a list.
It was obvious that Ye Shusheng came prepared.
