"The conditions of the Fusang people are really interesting." Zhang Xiaowu sat next to Wanqiu and put his right hand on her wrist. Although he didn't know medical skills, he had patients at home and was able to cure long-term illnesses. He felt that Wanqiu was strong and powerful.
Her pulse beats, knowing that her life is safe now,
His mood improved slightly at the moment. Looking at the two ladies, Yunyan and Ruoxi, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but joke: "What is this? Thousands of miles away - forcing - forcing someone to marry a wife?" Fortunately, he stopped in time, and there was no such thing.
Lots of swear words, otherwise this book will be 404.
"Master, you should agree to them, just to save your sister." Yunyan said first. She was a brothel singer, so she naturally knows how to watch people's words. "The slave family is not jealous of having two more sisters. As long as the sister can wake up, the slave family will be the best."
That’s enough. You should know that my sister spends most of her prime years lying in bed. If she is rescued and wakes up many years later, how miserable will her heart be if she wakes up and sees that her time has passed?"
Zhang Xiaowu sighed.
Ruoxi's thoughts were more pure, and she looked at Wanqiu's pale face and said distressedly: "Yes, so what if we risk our lives to save people? Brother Xiaowu, if you are allowed to bleed and get injured, it will be okay
Are you going to run away from rescuing your sister? Now it's just a matter of marrying two princesses from the small country of Fusang. We don't care about it, so why are you so jealous?"
The ladies were so open-minded, and Zhang Xiaowu felt relieved. Marrying two Fusang women was not a big deal, but there were too many women in the family, and it was easy for them to become jealous and cause trouble. Seeing that there was no grudge between the two, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but praise in his heart: "
This feudal society is too good for powerful men. It turns out that socialism protects ordinary people like us. No wonder the torrent of history tells us that socialism will eventually defeat all reactionaries."
Then, Zhang Xiaowu ordered Ruan Qingwen to immediately arrange the marriage of the two Fusang princesses. After hearing this, the Fusang envoys were so happy that they caroused all night long. However, some unpleasant things happened. Several Fusang people in the station drank too much and ran away.
When they went to the street, they actually robbed women from the street. As a result, these people were beaten up by the angry people and later filed a lawsuit.
Li Chuncheng immediately locked them in a dungeon for a few days to sober up, and reported to Zhang Xiaowu: "The small country and the few people were able to become relatives with the Lord, but they were so happy that they were so happy that they ruined the reputation of the Lord. My subordinates must punish them well."
Fan."
"It's light, but it can be punished severely." Zhang Xiaowu laughed loudly after hearing this. These little dwarfs really don't know how high the sky is and how hard they endure.
In early July, in Youzhou City, the prince of Hejian County married two princesses from the small country of Fusang as their concubines, which became the biggest happy event in Youzhou City for a while.
After marrying Princess Fusang, Zhang Xiaowu announced the complete lifting of sea restrictions in the four northern states.
The surrounding small countries and the many island countries in the East China Sea suddenly discovered that the Central Plains people, who had always discriminated against the Si Yi, began to gradually accept them, and were even willing to accept them into the Central Plains. Although the Han people still looked down on the barbaric people of the Si Yi, at least the four northern people
The state officials have accepted their existence and encouraged them to trade with the Han people and learn the advanced culture of the Central Plains. For the Siyi, there is nothing they are more proud of than learning advanced culture.
News of the opening of the sea ban on the northern coast quickly spread to all coasts and island countries. Zhang Xiaowu also took advantage of the trend to vigorously develop marine trade, marine fishing, marine transportation, and shipbuilding in seaside cities in the East China Sea. He ordered Guan Xiang to invest a large amount of manpower and material resources at the seaside.
The ten counties and cities in the country were encouraged to engage in maritime transportation, and the coastal defense battalions were upgraded to naval forces.
The Coast Guard Battalion has six battalions with 7,200 men and 200 ships to protect maritime trade. By encouraging maritime trade, Zhang Xiaowu's Northern Army gradually expanded its influence to all parts of the East China Sea.
There are not only more than 100 countries in the Fuso Islands at sea, but also many large and small island countries, collectively called the East China Sea Islands. Zhang Xiaowu ordered his men to survey and map the world, and found that this world seemed very different from the original world. Beyond the East China Sea are several
endless islands,
Instead of the vast Pacific Ocean, so far people have not fully detected the number and size of overseas islands outside the East China Sea. The Fuso Islands are the closest island group to the mainland, and the Eastern Islands seem to be unknown treasures waiting for people to discover.
and explore.
Zhang Xiaowu looked at the map and couldn't help but say: "Why does it feel like the Eastern Islands is more like a continent that was smashed into pieces and then drifted around..."
The islanders of the Eastern Islands were extremely eager to come to the Central Plains to learn advanced civilization, and they also exchanged treasures from various places. Books were especially popular. Paper was suddenly expensive in the north, and at least three books were bought by the foreigners every day.
There were four carriages, and a large number of students from all over the south came to live here.
The islanders are too eager to absorb the nutrients of the Central Plains culture. In the past, the Shenghan Empire regarded the islanders as wild animals and even laughed at them as monkeys that had just evolved on the island. Now Zhang Xiaowu attaches great importance to the cultural education of various island countries at sea and obtains gold from them.
Silver treasures flooded the Central Plains.
In June of the second year of Yongding, through the unremitting efforts of the Marshal's Mansion, the people's livelihood, economy, and military in the four northern states returned to the level before the earthquake, and the population even increased by 30%. According to Ruan Qingwen's preliminary statistics, the four northern states recovered to 1,000
Ten thousand households, the total population reaches about 40 million people.
Zhang Xiaowu was surprised because he felt that the Central Plains could not support such a large population. Ruan Qingwen explained that after Zhang Xiaowu entered the north in the third year of Dade, they vigorously developed the land and planted corn. After three full years of hard work, the plant corn
Extremely popular in the north.
Corn is very drought-resistant and easy to produce. In the past, in some barren lands, corn seeds only needed to be sown, and the harvest would still be full in autumn. Ruan Qingwen also said that the military guards once conducted experiments and ran with a bag of corn kernels.
Feel free to go to the deserted mountains
Digging a hole and burying the seeds will produce more or less corn cobs in the fall. Smart farmers also discovered that corn can be planted at a high density. After pinching the cobs, the corn seeds will be full and full. The corn kernels will be ground into powder and mixed with wheat flour.
Together, the taste becomes sweeter.
In addition to corn, people also discovered a plant called cassava from Siyi. This kind of cassava is more resistant to drought and barrenness, but the taste is slightly bad, so it is not very accepted by the people. Unless there is no food at home, few people are willing to eat it.
Cassava, on the other hand, is used by many people to make wine.
"Tapioca wine has replaced soju, after all, it is cheap." Nguyen Thanh Van said with a smile, "After last year's earthquake, the temperature was suitable and there were no more major disasters. This was one of the reasons for the surge in grain production."
