At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 278

"Selling newspapers, your majesty is happy to have a daughter, who is named the eldest princess of Shu, and her mother, Chen, is named a noble concubine."

Early in the morning, the newsboy spread the news throughout Chengtian Mansion that the emperor had a daughter.

When Zhao Bing received the newspaper, he immediately put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "What a pity."

"Your Majesty, there are still nine. There must be princes, so there is no need to worry." Yu Chenghao advised.

He was the eldest grandson of Yu Rusi, who studied in the Imperial College, and was also Prince Ning's companion who studied with him and stayed with him forever.

"That's true." Zhao Bing thought for a moment and said, "My eldest brother must be very fond of me when I make her the eldest princess. The gift cannot be thin. I will take a handful of pearls as a gift to the eldest princess."

Yu Chenghao’s mouth twitched.

These pearls are not ordinary goods, but golden pearls. The smallest one is as big as a little finger.

As another flagship product of the Nanning Kingdom, a top-quality gold pearl is worth a ton of gold, while the top-grade gold pearls are priceless and unmarketable, and a handful is worth thousands of gold.

Uncle Zhao was very angry, but the people were disappointed.

Although the eldest princess is good, she is not as good as the prince.

To be honest, most people including the Chen family were very disappointed. Everyone wanted a crown prince, but considering that there were nine more, no one said anything strange.

Everyone was in an uproar because of the eldest princess, but no one noticed the short news in the corner of the newspaper - Global Exploration set sail today.

As the emperor who planned this matter, he did not forget it. He arrived at the dock early in the morning to see off the fleet.

Ten ships, 600 people, including sailors, soldiers, doctors, craftsmen, translators, etc., equipped with muskets and artillery.

Zhao Shi patted the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Wang Shize, on the shoulder and said, "It's unpredictable where we go, so we must be careful."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The 600 people in the team are all outstanding, and the ship is the best. We will reach Dongzhou smoothly." Wang Shize said.

He often went to sea, and had been as far away as Persia. He was extremely experienced. Because the emperor was recruiting people to explore the East, he was recommended by Qian Yi.

Although he knew nothing about the meteorology and hydrology going east, he thought there would be no problem with the map given by the emperor.

"Don't underestimate the enemy." Zhao Shi said: "The sea route is thousands of miles long, the waves are rough, and there may be a large number of enemies, and the map of Dongzhou I gave is not accurate."

"Your Majesty," Wang Shize said, "I and other people from the province will definitely go to Dongzhou and return with a full load!"

In today's era, there is no concept of "continent". In order to find North and South America, Zhao proposed this concept.

As the center of the world today, the Song and Yuan Dynasties must be where Central Continent is, while America is located in the east, called "Eastern Continent".

Do not accept to fight!

If you don't punch the shit out, it doesn't count as clean.

This is the right to speak, which is determined by strength. Regardless of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, once its fangs are exposed, other countries will either bow down or be chewed to pieces.

After the conversation, Wang Shize and others boarded the ship, the sailors untied the cables, and the ship sailed down the river.

Of course, going to America won't be by crossing the ocean. It's too far and too dangerous, and it's easy to be wiped out in a storm.

They will go north first, take a supplementary rest on the Sihan Road, and then arrive at Guwei Island. Although Guwei Island is under the control of Yuanting, there are not many troops stationed there.

Of course, the fleet carried a lot of gold and silver cargo, which could also be traded fairly, depending on the attitude of the local indigenous people.

Beyond Guwei Island is unfamiliar waters, whose climate and hydrology are completely unknown, so the fleet needs to explore by itself.

To inspire the fleet, the straits between Middle-earth and East-Earth, as well as newly discovered unknown lands, would be named by them.

Wang Shize and others were very excited.

This is a great opportunity to leave a mark in history, and no one wants to miss it.

Besides, fame and wealth, fame will be beneficial, provided they can come back alive.Storms, icebergs, disease, severe cold and heat...the dangers are too many.

The risks are high, and the rewards are equally high.

Why did the later Qing Dynasty support [-] million people, three times the combined population of the Song and Yuan Dynasties?Isn’t it just because of corn and sweet potatoes?

There is also rubber, which can be said to be an insurmountable threshold for industrialization. Today, our country is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from industrialization, but be prepared for a rainy day, and the sooner you have it, the better.

As for immigration, to be honest, it is better to go to South China (Oceania) than to East China.

Nanyang is dotted with large and small islands. It can be built into an immigration island chain, which is much safer than going to Dongzhou.

The current navigation technology is sufficient, and the restrictions on immigration are population and medical care.

About [-]% of the immigrant mortality rate can only be solved step by step by moving mice until the domestic population becomes unbearable.

After watching the fleet leave, Zhao turned around and returned to the palace.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, the Yang family sent someone to tell them: "The concubine Liu has given birth to a son, and the prince of the country has been born."

"So fast?" Zhao rushed to the palace with a little surprise.

Outside the palace gate, many civil and military officials saw the emperor coming back, and they all bowed down and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, there is a successor to the dynasty."

"Everyone is safe!" Zhao Shi, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Come on, you will be rewarded."

At this time, Zhao Xiaosan came out and said: "Your Majesty, please give the prince a name to record in the family tree."

"Hmm..." Zhao Shi thought for a while and said: "The revival of the country depends on the soldiers winning consecutive battles and winning famous places. The small characters will return to the north. After the crown is crowned, the canonization ceremony will be held and the name will be changed."

Zhao Jirui silently remembered Zhao Sheng in his heart and followed the emperor into the palace.

As for the nickname, it was called by the emperor and empress, it was no one else's turn to speak, and there was no need to pay attention.

When they arrived at the palace, Zhao Sheng had been taken out by Yang and was sleeping soundly, biting his fingers.

Crumpled and not very pretty.

Zhao Shi was in his arms, and the feeling of blood connection arose spontaneously, but there was no surprise and anxiety from last night.

"Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the Queen's canonization ceremony." Yang said.

Zhao Shi nodded and said: "Don't worry, mother, there will definitely be arrangements."

The queen can make arrangements, but the prince has to wait. After all, he is too young.

To be honest, Zhao Sheng becoming the prince is not necessarily a good thing.

There is no need to worry about being deposed. There is no precedent for deposing a prince in the Song Dynasty. Even though Huizong had been thinking about changing the prince, he finally gave in to Qinzong. There were quite a few people who were deposed, such as Qinzong.

Because Huizong didn't like it, he developed Qinzong's cowardly character. After defeating the Jin army for the first time, he couldn't completely eliminate Huizong's party, couldn't suppress upright ministers such as Li Gang, and couldn't control his own ears. This led to the Jingkang Disgrace.

Zhao doesn't have to worry about Zhao Sheng becoming the next Qin Zong.

When he abdicates, even if the world is not completely peaceful, it will be almost the same. A conservative king is enough. Even if it is not yet peaceful, once the cabinet is established, the more cowardly the emperor, the more stable it will be.

Besides, there are many princes who will not survive the emperor. It is too early to think about this at this time.

In the next month, children were born for the second time, and Zhao had enough of his old father's addiction.

With four sons and five daughters, the Qin family suffered from dystocia. In order to save both mother and son, they were given the title of noble concubine.

The five daughters all have titles, namely the eldest princess of Shu, the princess of Qin, Wei, Yan and Dian.

The emperor's thoughts are obvious: sons-in-law, work hard to kill the Tartars and make the princess's title worthy of her name.
