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

Chapter 345 Dongzhou Fleet Returns to China
Tragic, so tragic... When Wu Songhai saw the three ships entering the port, he couldn't help but feel sad.

The hull was like a beggar, with countless patches, big and small, and holes that had not been repaired. The same was true for the sails. The masts of two of the ships were obviously broken, and it was really difficult for them to put them up again.

The boat in the front was the worst, with a big hole looming under the waterline, and the hull tilted so badly that it seemed that it would sink in the next moment.

"Come here, tell the military doctor, and guide the ship to prepare for it." Wu Songhai ordered.

The military doctor was already ready.

On the bow of the boat at the front, a one-armed man stood upright like a javelin holding the Emperor's Day.

It was Wang Shize.

"Going home~" Wang Shize murmured to himself, tears appearing in his eyes.

The people behind him either laughed or burst into tears, all excited and uncontrollable.

Under the tow of the guidance ship, the three ships came to a stop one after another. When the pedals were lowered, Wu Songhai shouted: "Fire the gun to welcome the return of the heroes!"

bang bang bang~
Gunfire rang out, and Wang Shize got off the boat holding the Emperor's Scepter.

Everyone else supported each other and followed tremblingly.

Wu Songhai stepped forward and saluted, saying: "The imperial court ordered Wu Songhai, the envoy of Wangbeigang, to pay homage to the emperor's envoy."

Wang Shize said: "Wang Shize, who holds the Emperor's Scepter, is the deputy director of the Privy Council's Maritime Patrol Department, and is the general manager of the Dongzhou Exploration Fleet, has returned from exploring Dongzhou under orders.

Order, all ships in Wangbei Port assemble to escort the exploration fleet's gains back to Beijing. "

"I obey the order of the angel." Wu Songhai stood up and ordered: "Send all the fast boats, call all the fishing boats and whalers back to the port, then send out the letter ships, and send a message to Sihan Road and Shandong Road to prepare for the response."

The orderly rushed away.

Wu Songhai stood up, hugged Wang Shize, patted him, and said, "Welcome home, brother!"

Wang Shize said: "But I didn't expect that the imperial dynasty had already occupied Guwei Island. It felt like a world away."

Wu Songhai said: "Please come to the stronghold to rest for a while, and then we can set off after the ship turns around."

"There's no rush." ​​Wang Shize said: "First move the seedlings off the ship. I want you to supervise them personally. You will never allow a seed or a seedling to fall, let alone any damage!

This is what we are exploring Dongzhou for.

Every seed, every seedling is sent by the name of the exploration fleet, and it is the guarantee that the kingdom will never be hungry! "

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, Wu Songhai did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered the soldiers to separate the idlers watching the fun, and then named a group of people, saying: "The things on the ship were brought back by the brothers of the Dongzhou Exploration Fleet. It is about the livelihood of all people.

In order to solve the people's hunger problem, His Majesty sent an exploratory fleet to sail more than [-] miles, which lasted for more than six years. Be careful and careful again! "

Hearing this, all the troops were in awe.

When getting on the boat, everyone is cautious and checks again and again before taking a step, for fear of stepping on Guo Zuo.

On the sea, the new ship quickly rushed to Sihan Road, and released carrier pigeons overland to the south of the peninsula. The message ship then sent the message to Shandong, and then the carrier pigeon relay carried the message to Chengtian Mansion.

This is the fastest speed, taking half a month.

When the emperor received the news, Long Yan was delighted and immediately summoned the cabinet to share the good news.

"Before the Dongzhou Exploration Fleet departs, I ordered four items that must be taken, namely corn, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rubber trees. Now that they are returning, they will definitely be fully loaded." The emperor said with longing.

"Your Majesty, the Sihanlu Marine Division has been dispatched. Just wait for Wang Shize and others to return to the court." Li Tingzhi couldn't help but advise.

We haven’t returned to the court yet, everything is uncertain, so be careful when extreme happiness leads to sadness.In fact, after Sihan Road received the news, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Qian Yi, immediately sent a fleet to greet him.

It was June, and the sea was still stormy and high. In order to complete the evacuation, the fleet first docked on Sihan Road, crossed the peninsula, and then took the Bohai Bay to Shandong, and then took the land route.

After three months, Wang Shize arrived in Yangzhou with the fleet.

Cabinet Assistant Zhao Jirui personally welcomed him, and when he landed at Qinhuai River Pier, the emperor personally welcomed him.

Wang Shize was flattered and hurried to the emperor to bow down and said: "I was ordered to explore Dongzhou. Now I am back. I am here with the scepter to ask for your majesty's holy decree."

Zhao Shi helped Wang Shize up, looked at him carefully and said, "I still remember that when you left Beijing, you and I were in high spirits. After six years, more than half of the heroes died overseas, and you also lost an arm. I am really filled with emotion."

Everyone replied: "For the sake of the country, for the people, and for Your Majesty, I will do my best and have no complaints."

Sailors, doctors, farmers, geologist... they are all industry elites. After all, they successfully completed mankind's first ocean voyage exploration.

On the fleet, various materials were carefully transported, and the emperor and ministers were watching.

The yellow corn has a jade-like color and is worthy of the name of corn. The red sweet potatoes are ordinary and no one would have thought they could produce three to four hundred kilograms. There are also sweet potatoes, rubber, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers, cigarettes, sunflowers and papayas.

The seeds brought back by the exploration fleet were not only in sufficient quantity, but also in many varieties, and there were also cultivation records during the voyage.

There are also route maps, geographical and topographic maps, and records of customs, people, and climate. Unfortunately, because seven ships were sunk, many important atlases were lost.

Even so, it is enough to support subsequent voyages.

"The edict is being drafted. The Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development will select agricultural officers and cooperate with the fleet agricultural officers for breeding. The yield and seed method will be determined and promoted throughout the world!" Zhao Shi couldn't wait to give the order, and then said: "The Dongzhou exploration fleet has been going up and down for six months. He sails hundreds of thousands of miles every year and brings back all kinds of fine seeds. His achievements are made now and will be established in the future.

The title of Prince Shi Ze is Duke of Dongzhou, the title of captain and above is marquis, the title of stargazer and above is Earl, and the rest are viscount. "

All of a sudden, more than 300 nobles appeared in the country, and there was no baron of the lowest rank.

Wang Shize and others knelt down on the spot.

Li Tingzhi opened his mouth and swallowed the words of admonishment.

New crops have yet to prove their yields, but thousands of miles of new soil are indeed real. For this discovery, everyone can be knighted.

There was no time to give a banquet to wash away the dust, so Zhao rushed to the Ministry of Household Affairs to cultivate the seeds immediately.

Already September?

In the past two years, the emperor has built more than 100 acres of glass greenhouses. Is it just to solve the vegetable basket problem for the people of Chengtian Mansion?

What, a lot of vegetables have been planted, and they are about to go on the market...Pull it!
Sweet potatoes and potatoes often sprout. If they are not planted quickly, they may rot.

Although you can harvest seeds that will multiply several times or ten times in one season, the more of these things, the better.

Moreover, the seeds of rubber trees need to be sent south, and planting trials need to be carried out from Guangdong to Ningguo. Time waits for nothing.

The emperor attached great importance to it, and the courtiers worked hard to cooperate, but the people didn't care.

Everyone saw only one fleet being knighted, and they were extremely envious, especially the naval divisions.

Dominating the ocean is certainly majestic, but being reduced to the captain of the transportation team is also unbearably lonely.

But the route has been opened, the geography has been determined, and the seeds have been pulled back. Envy, jealousy and hatred can only do so.
