Chapter 547 I really didn't expect the people of Dongzhou to love this emperor so much! Ask for a monthly ticket)
"The Emperor's Treasure Ship!"
“There are so many!”
“It is said that there are 1,000 items”
"That's great, finally here!"
"Long live!"
"Long live"
At the top of Zhaozhou city, several defenders suddenly pointed to a sail that appeared on the sea level in the distance and started shouting loudly.
Wei Sheng, who had returned to the New World and was promoted to the magistrate of Zhaozhou, was inspecting the city of Zhaozhou in person. Hearing this, he ran over from not far away, pushed a defender away, and looked up at the battlements. He could see a large white, gray, and yellow sail at a glance.
Those hundreds or thousands of large sailboats appeared at sea level at the same time, which made everyone who witnessed this magnificently feel a surging feeling, and couldn't help but shout long live.
Of course, they knew that Zhao Lun was sent to Dongzhou by his father Zhao Kai to be the emperor! And they didn’t come here empty-handedly, but they brought a total of 1,000 treasure ships and were full of treasures!
There are living treasures and dead treasures.
Huobao is mainly Chinese! If you don’t know that Chinese people are treasures, North and South East Continents have more than 40 million square kilometers, and most of them are “effective land”, that is, land with high development value.
Such a vast and rich land, now there are only more than 200,000 people in this country, which is the number of men, women, young and old!
In this case, how can Chinese people not be treasures?
Moreover, the Chinese people in Dongzhou have always been more men and fewer women. After all, there are definitely not as many women who are willing to travel across the ocean to Dongzhou!
The result of more men and fewer women is naturally that many men have been bachelors.
There should be many young ladies on these 1,000 treasure ships?
It's really exciting!
In addition to Chinese people, livestock and poultry are also treasures!
There are so many wild animals that can catch meat-eating in Dongzhou, and they are so stupid that they are easy to catch, so that the Frank savages and English savages here can hunt without even needing bows and arrows. As hunters, they didn’t know there were bows and arrows, and they didn’t starve to death. This was a great time!
Perhaps because life is so easy to get along, the Frank savages and English savages here have never thought of domesticating animals to raise, and there seems to be no horses on Dongzhou.
At the same time, the land here is too much and fertile, and it is impossible to grow it with manpower (the Han people are used to rolling in East Asia, so they are so nervous that they don’t farm and catch bison every day if they eat it!), so there is a huge demand for horses that can be used to cultivate the land in Dongzhou.
In addition, there are also very plump grasslands in the Jinzhou Basin southwest of Zhaozhou, which are just for grazing cattle and sheep. There were originally many Frank bisons and some hunting tribes living there. But now there are neither bison nor savages.
Of course, such a good grassland cannot be abandoned. Therefore, the Dongzhou Jiedushi established a Jinzhou there, recruited some grazing households from all over the place to settle there, and also brought some cattle, sheep and horses from the Song Dynasty to hand them over to the herdsmen of Jinzhou.
However, the transportation costs on both sides of the Great East Ocean are too high, and before the "thousand treasure ships" were put into the Great East Ocean, the number of ships running to the Great East Ocean was limited, so there were not many cattle, sheep and horses transported to Jinzhou. Because the number of cattle, sheep and horses was too small, it became slow to reproduce.
And this time, 1,000 treasure ships came!
There should be a lot of cattle, horse, pigs and sheep transported with ships, right?
The dead treasure is gunpowder, copper cannons, ironware, silk, cloth, porcelain, and various daily necessities.
The population in Dongzhou is too small, and there is no industry or commerce. In addition to the three types of "free people" who make money by gold hunters, silver hunters, and fur tourists (there are marten in Dongzhou), the rest are military households who have been granted land. These military households are not all military households or men who have moved from the Song Dynasty. Only the middle and upper class are military households or men who have been in charge of military households. The military households who live at the bottom are actually all exiled criminals. No matter what crimes these people committed in the Song Dynasty, even if they kill and set fire, they will immediately be granted land to serve as soldiers when they arrive in Dongzhou.
Of course, the officers pressing on them were not afraid of them making trouble anymore. These were all evil people in the local military households of the Song Dynasty. Many of them had committed crimes and were sent to Dongzhou after being rectified by military law. They were all evil people!
This group of evil men and evil people gathered together to bully the Frank savages and the English savages, but there is no need to think about the industrial and commercial production in Dongzhou.
Because industrial and commercial production is too poor, all kinds of handicraft products in Dongzhou have to be transported by sea.
However, the route between the Song Dynasty and Dongzhou is not easy to run. I don’t talk about it for a year when I go back and forth. Just talking about this route across the East Ocean is quite risky. It’s quite a bit like sailing in the vast ocean for several months!
The eastbound route can only follow the water in the southeast of Japan, and even an island can't be seen along the way! In an era when you can only rely on star-splitting boards and compass to navigate, it is very easy to get away from the coastline!
There are two routes to travel west, and the southern route also flows along the vast ocean. There are still no islands along the way, so it is easy to get lost.
The north line traveling westward must travel north along the coastline of the East Continent, enter the "cold sea", and then sail along the coastline. After passing through the south of a strait, it enters the easternmost end of the Shenzhou Continent
Although it is not easy to get lost when taking this route, and it also follows the water flow (Alaska warm current and Thousand Islands cold current), the weather is too cold and cannot leave in winter, and it often has strong winds.
So there are not many sailing boats that are willing to take such a big risk, and there are also such a skill to travel between the East and the Ocean.
Because there are not many ships, handicraft products on the Dongzhou continent have always been short of and the prices are extremely expensive.
And this time it is said that 1,000 treasure ships will come at a time! There must be a lot of good things carried on these treasure ships, right?
How can people in Dongzhou not be excited if such a good thing comes?
People in Dongzhou have money!
They would also go to collect gold and silver to catch marten during the slack farming season. They saved up some gold and silver marten fur, and were waiting to exchange things with sailboat passengers from the Song Dynasty!
So when countless sails appeared in the sky, the entire Zhaozhou City was already boiling and sensation!
No matter the merchants who had not dug up much gold and could only do some small business in Zhaozhou City, officials stationed in Zhaozhou City and soldiers serving in the previous service, or military households who lived near Zhaozhou City, after learning that the Emperor of Dongzhou led 1,000 treasure ships were about to arrive, they all put down their work and flocked to the Zhaozhou Port Wharf.
So when the treasure ship Zhao Lun was riding approached Zhaozhou Port, there were already crowds of people on the small harbor pier, and it looked like more than 10,000 people were seen!
The main mast of the sailboat Zhao Lun was riding, which symbolized the emperor, had already hung a yellow dragon flag on his face. The generals on the pier knew at a glance that the emperor of Dongzhou had arrived. The news that the people in Zhaozhou had long been brought to Zhaozhou by several sailboats that had arrived before. Of course, the Chinese people in Zhaozhou knew about it.
Knowing that the emperor was coming with the treasure ship, the people of Zhaozhou on the dock cheered!
"Long live! Long live! Long live"
The voice of longing for the mountain reached Zhao Lu's ears. The Emperor of Dongzhou, who was plotted by his father in the "national base selection exam", was immediately filled with tears. This time he was moved!
Zhao Lunxin said: I really didn’t expect that the Chinese people here in Dongzhou would love me so much!
"Dad, who are they shouting to?"
At this time, a young man who was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tiny head and a turtle and a purple robe, came to Zhao Lun and called him father.
Needless to say, this young man knew, of course he was Zhao Lun's son. As the King of Zhao of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Lun certainly would not be unable to get his wife. There were a lot of women, and of course there were many sons. Twenty-one of them were still alive! Ten of them stayed in the Song Dynasty with Zhao Lun's princess. The remaining eleven people plus Zhao Lun himself took six treasure ships (the son could not be placed on a boat). The other five ships, including the treasure ships that Zhao Lun himself and his eldest son Zhao Qiong, arrived in Dongzhou safely.
Now standing by Zhao Lu's side is his eldest son Zhao Qiong.
"Of course they are shouting long live to my mountain!" Zhao Lu stroked his beard, wiped his tears, and showed a proud expression, "Being a father is now the emperor of Dongzhou, they are all my people, and they are all here to welcome me!"
"Dad"
Zhao Lun interrupted his son, "Call him father!"
Father?
Zhao Qiong frowned, and it seemed a bit presumptuous!
"Dad, Grandpa Emperor only named you as the Eastern Emperor, but not you as the Eastern Emperor," said Zhao Qiong, "Why would the son call you the Emperor of Father?"
"Emperor Father?" Zhao Lun was displeased when he heard this, "No, I want to be the emperor!"
"But if Grandpa Emperor knows it?"
"So what if I know?" Zhao Lun said, "I have arrived in Dongzhou. Can he still send troops to attack me? Just call him Father!"
"Okay, Father" Zhao Qiong certainly dared not disobey the "Father" because he also wanted to be the father in the future!
"Father," Zhao Qiong said, "You have just come to Dongzhou. Why are the people here supporting you so much?"
Zhao Lun couldn't answer. He had just arrived here and didn't understand the situation. So he turned his head and looked at Sheng Xin, and Sheng Xin smiled and said, "Young Master, they are not the people, they are the people of the country, of course they are all loyal to the emperor and patriotism!
Moreover, they all hope that there will be an emperor in Dongzhou to lead it, and they also hope that their emperor can bring more Chinese people from the Song Dynasty. There are so many people that they can bring down the entire Dongzhou!"
This is Zhao Lun’s destiny, and it is also the destiny of the people of Dongzhou!
