After the Nanzhong envoys withdrew, the civil and military officials discussed some matters, and then all waited for Liu Cong to give the order to withdraw.

Liu Cong, who was sitting on the throne, chuckled and said, "My lords, I still have something important to announce!"
After saying that, Liu Cong looked at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, you can tell me about this."
"I obey." Lu Xun stepped out of the queue and saluted Liu Cong, then turned to look at everyone, "Comrades, I have been ordered by the king to go to sea to search for Taiwan Island. After two years, I finally lived up to the king's trust and found the big island!"
"Your Majesty named this island Taiwan! The island of Taiwan is as big as my county of Chu. There is a big mountain on the island, enough to support 300,000 people. There are about 30,000 barbarians on the island, and they have been basically defeated by our army.
Destroy!"
"Boom!" As soon as Lu Xun finished speaking, the officials suddenly started making noises.
"An island in Dabi County?"
"Raise three hundred thousand people?"
"No wonder the king conferred a title on Lu Xun as soon as he came back."
Almost everyone knew that Lu Xun went to sea, but what he did when he went to sea, no one in the civil and military officials knew. Now, they finally understood why Liu Cong granted Lu Xun and Lu Ji the title. The expansion of territory was something that had never been discovered before.
For this new territory, they deserve to be awarded a title for this contribution.
Pang Tong glanced at Liu Cong, who was smiling on the throne, and sat in his position, thoughtfully. Lu Xun just said that he was serving the king's orders, which meant that the king had already known that there was such a big island overseas. Then what happened to the king?
How did you learn that there was such a big island overseas?

Think again about the talents that the king recruited, all of them are good talents and generals, as well as the systems he proposed, and the new things
"hiss!"
Pang Tong took a breath of air-conditioning, this was so terrifying to think about!
In the end, Pang Tong could only attribute this to the fact that Liu Cong was an unparalleled sage.
"God bless the great Chu State for finding this auspicious place. I congratulate you, Your Majesty!"
Amidst the congratulations of the ministers, Liu Cong slowly stood up and said, "My lords, China has its current territory only because generations of ancestors have worked hard to develop it."
"During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, how could they have imagined that one day China's territory would become as large as it is now. When the Zhou Dynasty divided the world, many places today did not belong to me, China."
"But now, those pioneering ancestors have passed away, but their enterprising spirit will be inherited by us!"
"My lords, Taiwan is just the beginning. In the future, Chu will open up more places. I, the son of the Han family, should take a longer view and have the ambition to span the four seas and conquer the universe!"
All the officials were moved by Liu Cong's words.
"Long live the king! Long live the Great Chu!"
Standing on the imperial steps, Liu Cong held the hilt of his sword in his hand, looked around at the ministers and said, "My lords, I intend to immigrate 200,000 people to Taiwan. From now on, Taiwan will be the indivisible territory of our great Chu!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Liu Cong looked at Ma Liang, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, "Ji Chang, 200,000 immigrants have been immigrated. Is there any problem with the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
Ma Liang came out of the queue and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, two hundred thousand is not a small amount. Although our country has a large population in Chu, it is probably not easy to immigrate two hundred thousand people."
The people of China have had a special nostalgia for their homeland since ancient times. Even those who left their hometowns to work hard in later generations, the first thing they did after getting rich was to go home and visit.
Not to mention the ancients of this era, homeland, fields, ancestral tombs, inheritance from dozens of generations...
All of this is in my hometown, my hometown. Where can it be so easy to leave?
Jingchu's New Deal has been in effect for many years. As the people's lives get better and better, they are even less likely to leave their homeland and go to an isolated island overseas.
The minister ordered Jiang Wan to come out and cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although Taiwan is big enough, it is still isolated overseas. If you want to come back after this trip, it will be really difficult."

Liu Cong frowned and said, "What if Gu Ming can get five times the land after going to Taiwan?"
Jiang Wan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it still won't work. The New Deal has been implemented for many years and the people's lives have been stable. How can they give up everything now and go to the misty overseas?"
Liu Cong really has never thought about this trouble. Jiang Wan is right. The people have already lived a stable life. No matter how much you promise, why should they go overseas?
"Is it difficult to abandon such a big island? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?" Zhong Zhou Buyi, the newly appointed minister of Zhongshu, said.
Jiang Wan glanced at him, "Then what's your plan?"
Zhou Buyi cupped his hands towards Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty! Taiwan is an auspicious land given to me by God. Although it is isolated overseas, it is also a rare treasure land. I think I cannot give up such a treasure land."
Liu Cong walked back and forth on the imperial steps, "Then do you have any good ideas?"
"People were forcibly recruited and sent to Taiwan, and they had to hold their noses to admit it!"
“Absolutely ridiculous!”
As soon as Zhou Buyi finished speaking, he was reprimanded by Ma Liang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, "Chu preaches benevolence, and the king is a sage king. If he forcibly recruits the people, how will he be different from the first emperor of the past? Chu State
Is it any different from Bao Qin?"

Qin Shihuang, the first emperor to unify the land of China, did not have a very good reputation in the feudal era, especially since the Han Dynasty was founded after the destruction of the Qin Dynasty. What is Qin's reputation in the Han Dynasty? Haha, who mentions Liu Bang?
Didn’t he say that the great ancestor killed the Qin Dynasty to establish the Han Dynasty?
Among the entire Chu State, Ma Liang was the only one who dared to compare Liu Cong to the Qin Emperor and the Chu State to the violent Qin.
Zhou Bujie said calmly, "Shang Shu, Ma Shangshu, forcibly conscripted the people, just to let them go to Taiwan, not to make them do hard labor?"
"Besides, didn't the King just say that after going to Taiwan, give the people five times the land they currently have? If they go to Taiwan, it will be a good thing for them."
Ma Liang glared and said to Zhou Buyi angrily, "Shizhong Zhou, are you willing to be the first person to go to Taiwan? I ask the king to give you five times the wealth. What do you think?"
"Ah?" Zhou Buyi was stunned. He really didn't expect that Ma Liang would say that. He was a minister of the Chu Kingdom, could this be the same?
Ma Liang did not continue to pay attention to Zhou Buyi, but cupped his hands towards Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, the people's livelihood has been stabilized. To forcibly recruit people and let them leave their homeland and go to isolated islands overseas is not benevolent government. I ask Your Majesty to think again!"
"
Liu Cong said nothing. Taiwan, it was not easy to find this big island in the late Han Dynasty. Now that we have found it, there is absolutely no reason to give up.
It is true that Liu Cong loves the people, but sometimes, as far as the country is concerned, the people cannot be cared for. If no one really wants to go, he can only order the people to be forcibly recruited.
"Your Majesty, I thought this matter was not that difficult." Just when Liu Cong was in trouble, Zhongshu ordered Pang Tong to come out and cup his hands.
Liu Cong's eyes lit up, "What's Shi Yuan's clever plan?"
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Shanyue people I suppressed in Jiangdong? These people have not been dealt with yet."
"There are many Han Chinese among the Shanyue people. Why doesn't the king send them to Taiwan?"
"That's right! Why did I forget this? Send an order to Deng Zhi, Li Yan and others to immediately select 200,000 Shanyue people and send them to Taiwan!"
