His eldest daughter is called Taiping, but the eldest daughter was born to Princess Ninth.
"Yes, let's call it Taiping!"
Guan Xiaorou said: "Just like the name you gave to the girl, the master, has the same meaning. I hope the armored ship can bring back good seeds, make the world peaceful, and stop killing people."
"Okay! Then call it Taiping!" Jin Feng said: "The ocean that Taiping will sail this time will be called the Pacific Ocean from now on!"
People in this world don't know the existence of America, and they have no concept of the four oceans, let alone names. All oceans are collectively called the sea.
Now, the world's largest ocean has a name.
Although it is also called Pacific Ocean like Jin Feng's previous life, the meaning is different.
This ocean is named after Jin Feng’s first child, and the ironclad Taiping will be the first ship in the world to attempt to cross the Pacific!
"Taiping, Pacific Ocean..." Tang Xiaobei curled his lips: "You two are really good at saving trouble."
Guan Xiaorou blushed and lowered her head.
Jin Feng started reading and literacy only after she took a literacy class.
After studying for more than a year, I have no problem reading and writing letters, but when it comes to knowledge, I don’t have much.
They are not a family, and they do not belong to the same family. Jin Feng named them from a poor family, and so did Guan Xiaorou. Otherwise, they would not have named their two children Da Niu and Er Niu.
Tang Xiaobei often teased her about this incident, saying that he would have a child in the future, and he didn't know how many girls it would be.
Guan Xiaorou was shy, but Jin Feng was not. She reached out and slapped Tang Xiaobei on the head: "Don't worry about whether it is easy or not, just tell me whether the meaning is good or not!"
"Good, good! Very good!"
While Tang Xiaobei was dealing with it, he straightened his bun that was knocked crooked by Jin Feng.
Princess Lu Jie looked at Tang Xiaobei with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
She has some knowledge of the Central Plains culture and knows that the status of women in Dakang is very low.
In the eyes of many powerful gentry, women are just tools to reproduce and play with.
Although she had read Jin Feng's information and knew that Jin Feng had been advocating equality between men and women, Princess Lu Jie always believed that this was a way for Jin Feng to win over women.
Now she suddenly felt that her view might be wrong.
From Guan Xiaorou's tone of voice to Tang Xiaobei's words, as well as her interactions with Jin Feng, it shows that they usually get along so harmoniously.
The longer she stayed in Yuxi Town and the more she heard about Jin Feng, the more Princess Lu Jie could not understand Jin Feng.
Jin Feng and Guan Xiaorou chatted, and the armored ship was ready. Jin Peng came to the trestle in person again and welcomed Jin Feng onto the Taiping.
Seeing that both Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan looked agitated, Jin Feng asked them to get on the boat together.
When Tang Xiaobei saw that Jin Feng asked Hong Taoping and Zheng Chiyuan to board the boat, he also made a fuss about going.
Anyway, the space on the Taiping was big enough, so Jin Feng simply asked the sailors to build a wooden ladder on the trestle, and then shouted to a group of Donghai senior officials: "If you want to go, all of you can go up!"

"Mr. Jin, can we go up?" Princess Lu Jie asked expectantly.
"Okay," Jin Feng nodded: "But you can only stay on the deck and cannot enter the cabin."
Princess Lu Jie felt a little regretful about Jin Feng's decision, but she still saluted Jin Feng seriously: "Thank you, sir!"
A group of people, led by Jin Peng, boarded the deck of the Taiping. Then, the Taiping sailed into the sea as before, and then slowly accelerated towards the north.
Jin Feng did not stay on the deck, but took Hong Taoping into the cabin to check the status of various equipment with the steam engine running at full speed.
This steam engine was manufactured at the Jinchuan Iron and Steel Works, and during the early stages of manufacturing, it was watched over by Mancang.
Later Jin Feng transferred Mancang to Donghai, and Mancang handed over this task to Wan Heming and Zuo Zhiyuan.
The two of them also knew the importance of this steam engine, so even the playful Wan Heming did not dare to be careless. He and Zuo Zhiyuan worked on the day shift and the other on the night shift, watching the whole process.
If the officials are so serious, the workers will be even more serious.
Coupled with increasingly rich experience and mature technology, this steam engine can indeed be regarded as the most advanced and best-quality one at present.
Jin Feng braved the high temperature and stuffy heat and checked the cabin twice, but found no problems.
Just as the two were about to leave the cabin, they suddenly found that the roar of the steam engine had weakened a bit.
Hong Taoping was about to go to the power cabin to take a look, but was stopped by Jin Feng: "No need to look, it should be turning around."
The U-turn of a big ship is different from that of a car. The Taiping drew a large circle on the sea for several miles before completing the U-turn.
Jin Feng and Hong Taoping checked some of the equipment outside the cabin. After confirming that there were no problems, they sent the Taiping to Maolang Island and circled around it.
Jin Feng didn't come to the deck until all the inspection items were completed.
At this time, Guan Xiaorou and others were gathering behind the guardrail at the bow of the ship, pointing towards Maolang Island not far away.
Princess Lu Jie stood on the left side of Guan Xiaorou. She didn't know what she said, which made Guan Xiaorou giggle.
Tang Xiaobei stood on the right side of Guan Xiaorou, with a helpless expression on his face. When he saw Jin Feng coming up, he quickly went to greet him.
"My husband, please go and take care of your sister. If you let her chat with this princess for a while longer, she may have to go to Dongman with gifts to betrothal!"
"Is it so exaggerated?" Jin Feng joked with a smile: "Then why didn't you stop me?"
"Sister Xiaorou is the head wife, can I stop this kind of thing? I will be known as a jealous woman later..."
Tang Xiaobei said angrily: "Ms. sir, it's not that I'm petty. My sister just wants to find someone else for you. But at first glance, this Dongman princess is not an economical lamp. Marrying such a person back is not inviting the wolf into the house?"
"Okay, stop complaining, I'll go over and take a look."
Jin Feng gave Tang Xiaobei a reassuring look, stepped forward and forced his way between Guan Xiaorou and Princess Lu Jie, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about, are you so happy?"
"Of course I am talking about you, the master," Guan Xiaorou said: "Princess Lu Jie was praising you just now, saying that you are so awesome and the iron ship you built is so powerful. The waves that were so big just now rushed over without slowing down.
And there is almost no rocking in the hull!”
The reason why Maolang Island is called Maolang Island is because there is an undercurrent passing through here. When the seawater hits the mountain, it will pass between the peaks of Maolang Island. From a distance, it looks like there are waves.
It seems to emerge from the valley.
Normally, ships of all sizes transporting kelp would drive carefully when encountering these waves, but the Taiping did not slow down and rushed directly through the waves.
In fact, Jin Peng wanted to slow down just now, but was stopped by Jin Feng.
Waves like those here on Maolang Island can be seen everywhere in the deep sea. If you can't break through such waves, then there is no need for the Taiping to go on a long voyage.
