Chapter 246: The Emperor Draws Big Cakes (2)(1/2)
"Does the emperor mean what he said?" The old queen mother looked obviously excited. She didn't expect Guo Tianyi to be so easy to talk to.
Who makes Guo Tianyi's prestige at its peak now?
The former queen had begged her many times just to get a fief for King Wei.
The same is true for King Qin.
Although King Qin gave up the struggle for imperial power, his sons came of age one after another and also needed fiefdoms.
These things have almost become a worry for the old lady.
If Guo Tianyi had just registered, that would be the time.
The old queen mother would never talk to Guo Tianyi in a negotiation manner.
But now, she also has to look at Guo Tianyi's face.
Moreover, ancient people were very obsessed with land.
If the grandson born to her youngest son was crowned king and had some territory, she would be relieved.
"Royal Grandmother, you have nothing to say!" Guo Tianyi said with a smile, "My Imperial Uncle's two sons are my cousins, and I am going to give each of them a territory several times larger than Hebei Province."
"Really?" the old queen mother said excitedly, "Which territory is the emperor going to entrust to them?"
The other concubines all looked at Guo Tianyi, wondering what kind of medicine Guo Tianyi was selling in his gourd.
It wasn’t long after the feudal feud was resolved?
Could it be that Guo Tianyi wants to ennoble several vassal kings again?
"Royal Grandmother."
"I will give them a large amount of territory, but not now."
"I am now vigorously developing the economy and internal affairs for the future."
"I promised my father that all the places where the sun and moon shine will be worshiped as soil."
"Therefore, there is a vast land outside the southern Yi kingdoms, its area is no less than that of Dafeng, and there is also a vast land in the Western Regions outside the Wu Kingdom in the north."
"There is also vast land beyond our eastern land in Dafeng."
"These places are backward in civilization and require a large number of people to manage them."
"When the time comes, I will naturally hand over these important responsibilities to my brothers..."
The Cow Dung Kingdom, Goguryeo outside the northeast, Wu Kingdom outside the northwest, and the countries in the Western Regions, these territories combined are several times the size of the current Dafeng.
And none of these places are prosperous.
Work such as land reclamation will be unavoidable by then.
It would be most appropriate to send your brothers there.
As for whether they will rebel, Guo Tianyi has already made many preparations.
Just talking about the current military, in addition to daily training, they also need to take cultural classes.
What do you learn in culture classes?
Naturally, they are loyal to the imperial power and loyal to the emperor and serve the country.
This kind of brainwashing was passed down from generation to generation, and with the honor of being a soldier, Guo Tianyi didn't worry about mutiny in the army at all.
One more thing.
Even if you divide your territory, your power will be divided.
If you want to rebel, do you have to meet these conditions?
Either work honestly for yourself, or stop thinking about it.
Hearing this, the old lady beamed with joy, nodded and said, "The Ai family has always been a little chicken. Yi'er, you are worthy of being the emperor of the ages!"
How did the old lady know that Guo Tianyi had so many thoughts in her heart? For a moment, she was moved and moved.
The pie painted by Guo Tianyi is too big.
The blueprint described is too broad.
A hot pot feast ended perfectly.
Guo Tianyi suddenly felt trembling in his heart as he looked at his concubines who were making love to each other.
I have to find time to visit Yan Xiliang and learn the health-preserving methods taught by Huang Lao.
Now that I have only ten wives, I feel like my body has been hollowed out.
Did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty make suggestions to expand their harem from time to time?
If only I had more wives.
I am really going to become a short-lived ghost emperor.
Just imagine, the three thousand beauties in the harem are just a general term.
But it is by no means an exaggeration.
If you have 365 wives.
So basically it's one every day, without repetition for a year...
As a man, it’s scary to think about it.
Royal study room.
Guo Tianyi changed into brand new regular clothes and was thinking about some questions.
Hot pot is a good project to make money.
There are enough chili peppers now. Maybe you can try opening a hot pot restaurant in the capital?
You only need to send an imperial chef to be the head chef, and the hot pot base can be reused.
You want to say gutter oil?
Just kidding, which of the Chinese children in later generations didn’t grow up eating gutter fried spicy strips?
Besides, in this era, all ingredients are purely natural.
There is nothing wrong with reusing the butter base in hot pot base.
The current two carts of chili peppers are naturally enough.
But who should be responsible?
Suddenly, a beautiful image flashed in Guo Tianyi's mind.
Liu Yuanyuan.
One of the three major fireworks places in Beijing, Hua Dan at the Hall of Fame.
This woman is extremely smart and can talk to me better, so isn't she a suitable candidate?
"Cao Dechun, Biography of Fan Xiong."
"promise!"
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Fan Xiong was on duty in the vestibule. When he heard Guo Tianyi summoning him, he rushed to the imperial study room and knelt down on one knee.
"I remember that among the many shops that were sealed before, there is a three-story shop in Bei City that has not yet been sold, right?" Guo Tianyi rubbed his brows and looked at Fan Xiong.
"It seems there is." Fan Xiong responded awkwardly, "Your Majesty, there were many shops sealed at the beginning, and there are still several with seals on them..."
Before the rebellion of the princes, Guo Tianyi dealt with several nobles.
These nobles all have their hearts set on the King of Qin.
Therefore, their properties are still under seal.
"Very good." Guo Tianyi said, "Cao Dechun, go and send someone to clean up. I'll be there later."
"No! I will do it now."
"Fan Xiong, how many people can you bring?"
"Go to the Red Man's Hall and bring Liu Yuanyuan out."
"Bring it to the shop."
"I have arrangements."
"promise!"
Fan Xiong nodded in response, but he didn't know what medicine Guo Tianyi was selling in his gourd.
Does the emperor want to...
That's right.
How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers?
