Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 702

Li Zhiyun was a little disappointed to confirm that the place Bai Shark and others explored was the Australian mainland.Not the disappointment of not finding America, but the disappointment of not being able to occupy the Australian mainland.Because it doesn't work now, there are not enough people!
Wanting to immigrate there now is tantamount to nonsense.There are too many places where Datang can immigrate at present, such as the South, Northwest, Northeast, and even the Western Regions in the future.Compared with these places, emigrating overseas is undoubtedly the most ineffective.

what a pity!

He is like a pioneer who knows where the largest land is, but he just can't occupy it.

After regretting it, Li Zhiyun changed the name of the vaulting horse to Kangaroo, and asked the people in Taipu Temple to take good care of it, and must cultivate a group of people.

It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, it's just a kangaroo anyway.

In addition, he talked with Bai Sha and Shangguanyi for a long time.It is mainly about some knowledge at sea and some problems encountered when going to sea.

Of these, orientation was clearly the number one concern, followed by scurvy.As for scurvy, the crew members who went to sea this time did not get much infection, because Li Zhiyun reminded Zhang Zhenzhou before that when sailing at sea, he must eat fresh fruits and vegetables for a long time, otherwise he will get sick.

Bai Sha and the others are lucky this time, because there are many islands where they live, and they can find a place to replenish fruits and vegetables at any time.

Therefore, not many people get sick.However, there were still a few situations, and this also made Bai Sha admire the emperor's foresight even more.

Other than that, there is nothing to talk about.Because there is no decent civilization in Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. What you see is either a wild beast or a savage, which is meaningless.Even Li Zhiyun couldn't figure out what they were talking about.

If there were no charts to explain, Li Zhiyun would have suspected that they had been in the Australian mainland, rather than crossing the archipelago.

Moreover, White Shark and the others were on their way wholeheartedly, and when they came across an island, they took a boat to leave after making some supplies. Even if there was some civilization in the area, it was a pity that they never encountered it.

After that, Li Zhiyun rewarded the two of them and the crew members who came back with them a lot, and named Bai Shark the title of 'Open Sea Boy'.Shangguanyi was granted the title of 'Xunhainan'.

The two were overjoyed and quickly thanked the emperor.

In any case, they can be regarded as suffering.

Bai Sha and Shangguanyi left Tai Chi Hall and walked on the road.

"As for me, I always say what I say, and I will do what I say. In the sea, I promised you that I will take you to Pingkangfang. This time I am treating guests, and you go with me." Bai Sha said to Shangguanyi very grandly.

Shangguan Yi, who is still a novice at present, really thought that Pingkangfang was a good place, and immediately said gratefully: "If there is no suggestion from Brother Bai, bring back the chart, this time we can say that we have nothing to gain, and this time we let Brother Bai It’s really embarrassing for me to be the host.”

"Don't be a little girl, you and I came here together in a big storm, this little thing is nothing, let's go!"

"Brother Bai please."

After half a stick of incense, Drunken Dream Tower.

When Shangguanyi was next to Yingyingyanyanhuan Feilvshou, she finally understood what Pingkangfang was.

"Brother Bai, isn't it good for us to do this?" He avoided the fine wine that the little lady handed over in embarrassment, endured the aroma lingering at the tip of his nose, and turned his head to look at the white shark.

As a result, the white shark is no longer in place.

Shangguanyi: "."

At this time, a pretty young lady laughed and said: "Your companion is busy at the two ends."

Hearing this, Shangguanyi bowed her head silently.

So ashamed.

But why am I in such a hurry?

Whether Shangguanyi is in a hurry, Bai Sha doesn't know, anyway, Bai Sha knows that he is in a hurry, and he has been living overseas for nearly two years, he has made the little brother too wronged, this time he has to let the little brother drink to his heart's content before vomiting !
Good wine and beauties are the joys of life!
At the same time, Li Zhiyun was receiving Zhang Zhenzhou, the governor of Yangzhou, in the side hall of Taiji Hall.

"Zhang Qing, it has been a few years since you took office as governor of Yangzhou. I have seen all the achievements you have made in Yangzhou in these years. From this, I feel more and more that I have seen the right person!"

In the face of the emperor's praise, Zhang Zhenzhou said modestly that he was just Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, who did nothing but relied on the emperor's kindness.Finally, he sighed again: "The matter of going to sea has been ineffective for several years. I deeply blame myself and ask your majesty to punish me."

"It doesn't need to be like this." Li Zhiyun was still not confused about the facts, and comforted: "Overseas is very dangerous, and it is reasonable to not go well, but I have made you work a little bit in the local area."

"Don't dare." Zhang Zhenzhou said: "Since your majesty has ordered, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Zhiyun nodded, and continued: "I have seen the local government. Zhang Qing's assessment must be the top."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhenzhou's face was warm.

Immediately, Li Zhiyun chatted with Zhang Zhenzhou again, and finally said: "I hope Zhang Qing will continue to take care of the matter of Kaihai."

Seeing the speculative expression on Zhang Zhenzhou's face, Li Zhiyun said affirmatively: "Yes, I intend to let you continue to serve as the governor of Yangzhou and take charge of the opening of the sea. This time, there is no need to send a huge fleet, and it is also not necessary for you to stay away from Datang Oh, as long as you continue to send people to explore the route of the sea chart provided by the white shark, and clarify the locations of various places."

According to the system, Zhang Zhenzhou has served as the governor of Yangzhou for seven or eight years, and he should follow the rule of changing the governor every three to five years.

But for now, Li Zhiyun still needs Zhang Zhenzhou to continue exploring overseas.Therefore, he must be kept in charge of shipbuilding and training sailors in Yangzhou.

Datang's natural ports are naturally not only in Yangzhou, but also in other coastal areas, but at present the imperial court does not have so much capital to develop other ports.

Even Li Zhiyun's internal funds must be tight, making full preparations for Tuyuhun's death next year.

Therefore, he can only let Zhang Zhenzhou, a veteran minister with sea experience, continue to serve.As for whether to worry about Zhang Zhenzhou's gradual growth in the local area, there is no such concern, because now he can transfer Zhang Zhenzhou away with a single transfer order.

After two years of slowing down, with Zhang Zhenzhou's contribution, Li Zhiyun will definitely let him come to Chang'an to take a vain job and retire with honor.

Since the emperor said so, Zhang Zhenzhou naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.However, he still couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, if the fleet goes out to sea, once it encounters wind and waves, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. Do you want to think about it again?"

He originally planned to use the example of the entire fleet being wiped out throughout the year as an example, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

After all, it's not a glorious thing.

Li Zhiyun said: "I deeply agree with Zhang Qing's sincere words, so when I go to sea in the future, I don't need to rush, but I can plan it slowly."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhenzhou nodded, "So, I obey the order."

For his age, it doesn't matter where he works. Staying in Yangzhou to train sailors, build ships and expand the port is his specialty.

Immediately, Li Zhiyun encouraged him one or two times before letting him back down.

After this incident, Li Zhiyun also had a clear understanding. In terms of the current situation, long-distance voyages are unrealistic.It is not only a problem of ships, but also a problem of economic capacity.

If Datang is now in its heyday, he can naturally try to build a fleet like crazy, but no.

Datang still has many enemies, so we have to wait.

According to his own estimation, it may take about ten years before Datang can fully develop the plundering economy.

But now, Zhang Zhenzhou can only continue to train more sailors and slowly build the ship.

Most importantly, develop experienced sailors who have the stamina to sail.
