Cabinet Prime Minister's Residence.
It is rare to have a group of people sitting today, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang, Cen Wenwen, Xu Jingzong, etc. are on the left, but the group of people sitting on the right are also from a lot of backgrounds and extraordinary identities.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshiji, Wei Ting, Du Yan, Dai Guan, Liu Hongji and others sat on the right side.
"America, Australia, Africa, any of the three places, Your Majesty can retain the Lord of the Tang Dynasty after the concession.
In fact, in the clan, the emperor's brother can be awarded the title of county duke, and the emperor's son can be awarded the title of county duke, and it is still one of the three places to change the title.
It was Chu Suiliang who spoke.
Today, so many people are sitting here together, discussing the placement of the emperor after Chan Rang, and of course, the placement of these royalists who have already confessed to it, such as the eldest grandson Wuji.
As for Cheng Qian, Zhang Chao's opinion is to treat him with respect and courtesy.
However, in order to avoid the impact on the situation, he still could not be placed in the Central Plains, the United States and Australia could not choose any place, and then the imperial court would send him over, and he could give him a population of 20,000 or 30,000, like Emperor Taishang and Li Zhi, so that they could settle down and take root in the local area.
Such conditions are actually very good.
At least, in the past, no emperor of the new dynasty would treat the emperor and the clan of the previous dynasty so kindly, Yang Jian and Li Yuan, they all poisoned the emperor of the previous dynasty after receiving Zen, and even wiped out the Yuwen family and the Yang family.
Zhang Chao thinks that it is not necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, send them far enough, and there is no need to worry about any comeback.
Treating them well is also very useful for the transfer of power and the stability of the situation.
This is not a woman's kindness, but purely from the cost of controlling the situation.
Eldest Sun Wuji sat there with a cold face, and when he came to this point, he actually had no right to speak at all, and today this was not so much a discussion, but to listen to Zhang Chao's announcement.
"Wen Yuan, where do you think Your Majesty is better?"
Zhang Chao said, "If you ask my opinion, then I suggest going to Africa." ” "Why" the eldest grandson asked, the emperor is in the Americas, Li Zhi is in Australia, the emperor goes to these two places, at least there is a place of his own.
"Over the years, I have been trading with Taixi in the Central Plains, and the volume of trade has been increasing.
Nowadays, from the Central Plains to the Mediterranean, thousands of ships are running on this route every year, from the coast of the Central Plains to the coast of Central and South China, then to the Golden Peninsula, and then to the coast of the Indian Ocean, and then to the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean, and there are more and more Tang colonies on this route. ” "Now that we have several colonies in the northeast of Africa in the southern part of the Red Sea, if Your Majesty goes to Africa, it will be very convenient to sail there, and it will also be convenient to exchange trade with our Central Plains in the future."
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, it was indeed the case.
When the Emperor Taishang went to the Americas, he went alone, and Li Zhi went to Australia the same.
Now there is no trade between the Central Plains and there, and there will be some trade with the Yin people in Central and South America, but there are very few ships on this route, one round trip a year, and few ships pass.
On the contrary, there are indeed thousands of ships running the Mediterranean.
"Where is that place in Africa?"
The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to settle in the Horn of Africa in the south of the Gulf of Aden, but Zhang Chao would not settle their property here, although this Horn of Africa is actually very barren, but it is close to the trade route, so let them settle here for development, but it is a little reassuring.
Zhang Chao's plan was to resettle Cheng Qian in the southernmost tip of Africa and arrange it to the Cape of Good Hope.
Far from trade routes, it is much more difficult for them to develop quickly.
As for the eldest grandson Wuji, Madagascar and other islands on the east coast of Africa are enough to house them.
Although Africa is big, Zhang Chao doesn't plan to give them a direct share generously.
"You can take all their people and possessions."
Compared with the imperial court will give a group of people to Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji does not have such good conditions for them to change their seals and relocate.
They can sell their property, then take their slaves, take their own people, but the court will not give them additional population, and ships and weapons will also be restricted from being sold to them.
Succeed in the king, in the final analysis, the eldest grandson Wuji is a loser.
Yang Gongren and Yu Wenshi looked ugly.
"That's not what we said before, you promised us that our titles, fiefs, etc. can remain unchanged."
Cen Wenwen said for Zhang Chao, "This is true, but on the one hand, you have already negotiated an agreement with us, but on the other hand, you are still secretly making various actions, do we really know nothing about this Since you broke the agreement first, then we have no choice but to do so." ” "It's all a misunderstanding" Zhang Chao shook his head, "There is no misunderstanding, there is no misunderstanding, if you dare to do it, you must dare to do it."
There's nothing wrong with going to Africa, where the natives are still very backward, and when you get there, it's easy to colonize and explore.
There are still a lot of minerals over there, and when the time comes, you will have a very chic life. ” Ma Zhou took out a map.
The eldest grandson Wuji and others saw that there were the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, Aksum and Egypt, and on both sides of the Red Sea, there were ten overseas colonies of the empire.
Among them, the eldest grandson's family also has two, and the Yang family and Yuwen's family also have one each.
These overseas territories, they also had to hand them over and exchange them for the islands of the sea on the east coast further south.
The emperor's fief was at the southernmost point, and then the huge island on the east coast, at least as large as Zhejiang Province and Fujian Province combined, accounted for most of their fiefdoms.
Many of the remaining islands along the coast were also assigned to each family.
The titles of these exiled families remained unchanged, but they were exchanged for those in the far East China Sea.
Looking at these large and small islands assigned to them by Zhang Chao, the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to speak and stopped, only the emperor was sealed on the mainland, and they were all at sea.

It's so far from the trade line.
"Don't pick on the fat and the thin, don't take the regent's mercy as a bully."
Xu Jingzong sneered a few times.
Yang Gongren and the others all shut their mouths.
Zhang Chao grasps the overall situation, if you really want to say that it is impossible to destroy a few families, it is really not something that cannot be done, now give them the title and let them leave the Central Plains, but at least their property is still retained, giving their families a chance to continue in the sea and mountains and even rise again in the future, why not be satisfied.
Throughout history, when dynasties change, many people must die and some families must be destroyed.
Even if the Guanlong aristocracy is in the same vein from the Western Wei to the Northern Zhou, the Northern Zhou to the Sui, and the Sui to the Tang, how can they be as lenient as Zhang Chao.
Regardless of whether Zhang Chao wants to buy people's hearts or have scruples, in short, this ending is indeed good for them.
At the beginning of the restoration of the Emperor Taishang, those prime ministers who stood on the wrong line, such as Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Pei Lone, Feng Deyi, and them, not only were their heads gone, but even the three generations of their family's direct line were exterminated.
"Within three generations, don't go back to the Central Plains" Zhang Chao said to his eldest grandson.
This time, they were nominally changed to overseas to develop colonies, but in fact, everyone should understand that they were sent into exile, but Zhang Chao gave them better conditions, allowing them to take their clansmen, property, and slaves with them.
But Zhang Chao demanded that they should not return to the Central Plains for at least three generations, and they were not even allowed to return to the Central Plains to do business.
To do business, you can trade with the merchants of the Empire, or trade with the Empire's overseas colonies, but these people are not allowed to re-set foot on the Central Plains for three generations.
Even if they still retain their titles, they are not eligible to become members of the imperial council within three generations.
However, their fiefdom was still a dependency of the imperial court, and they still had to adopt the laws of the imperial court, and they also had to pay one-third of the annual tax to the imperial court.
In the end, Ma Zhou took out some documents and handed them to the eldest grandson Wuji.
These are the documents that need to be signed by them.
The eldest grandson Wuji was quite happy, once he had made up his mind, he would no longer be entangled repeatedly, and he picked up the pen and wrote down his name.
Yang Gongren and others hesitated again and again, and finally had no choice but to sign their names.
One by one, like a defeated rooster, he left dejectedly.
Xu Jingzong saw that they had already gone away, and said very politely, "Why should the regent be so merciful to them, and give them a chance to make a comeback, I want me to directly kill the eldest grandson Wuji and other people, and confiscate their family's fiefs and properties, and then they will never be able to turn over." ” Zhang Chao, who is in his forties, has black hair, bright eyes, and a strong body, and he looks like he is in his early thirties.
Xu Jingzong's words were said to him by many people, but in the end Zhang Chao still didn't accept it.
The situation is stable, and a smooth handover is the most important thing.
"It's cheaper for these people, and they can leave with their possessions."
Zhang Chao smiled and didn't care about these subsections.
It is not so easy to leave with the family property, and for a while, it is necessary to sell all the properties in the Central Plains, which will inevitably attract many people to fall into the well and deliberately suppress the price.
And even if these properties are sold, they can't take the money with them, and the money is useless when it goes outside.
However, gold, silver, and copper were forbidden to leave the country, so they could only sell those fields, houses, shops, and even all kinds of furniture into money, and then use them to buy ships, as well as all kinds of grain, cloth, and other materials.
If you sell it, you will be bitten by a wave, and if you buy it, you will be bitten by a wave, and the loss will never be less, as for the Yili Gold Mine, it will be directly taken over as an official property, and there is no chance to sell it cheaply.
The fiefdoms of the eldest grandson Wuji and other families that were taken back, how to deal with them, no one spoke.
Although there are thousands of miles of fertile soil in the Yili River Valley, there are huge gold mines that can produce 100,000 taels of gold per year, although everyone's eyes are hot, no one will think anything wrong.
The fiefs recovered by the Yili River Valley and other ones naturally belonged to the imperial court.
