Chapter 541 Saint Zhang's Ambition
It was night, the old brothers were still drank and staggered, and Zhang Zhao asked his servants to help them back, but he himself couldn't sleep.

Originally developing westward, there is actually no shortage of money from old brothers like his subordinates, at least not currently, but Zhang Zhao still wants to tie them into the car.

Because of the armed colonization, the risk is not small, although Zhang Zhao tied up Hexi Buddhism and changed Hexi Buddhism into an alternative Tianfang religion with Confucianism as the core and direct grievances.

Zhang Zhao's Supreme Merciful Dharma King has become an existence similar to Allah and Yahweh, but he will still face a lot of counterattacks.

After all, no one is willing to lose their power and wealth. In the foreseeable future, the nobles in Hezhong, Tianzhu, Khorasan and other places will not be too small to resist.

If only Zhang Zhao's own descendants go to Xia Jun Yimin, relying on the will of the court or even the emperor alone to promote it, it is difficult for Zhang Zhao to predict the future situation.

After several failures, even he, the founder of the country, may not be able to move, let alone the successors.

In this world, good things are said to be done by people, and things that lose money at all will definitely not last long.

After all, the emperor of Zhou, Xia Jun, and Yimin were not far from each other, and the Yellow River can be used as a 'highway' to communicate.

But Hezhong and Tianzhu are separated by the Tianshan Mountains and the desert, with thousands of mountains and thousands of waters, different cultures and races, so it is not so easy to handle.

So it is necessary to bring in all the old brothers, everyone invested money, and worked together to come up with a few models.

Only with a bridgehead and a demonstration area can other people be attracted to participate, and maybe it will eventually lead to a wave of nationwide action.

If there are more investors, the whole policy will not be shaken if two or three failures or even one or two failures occur.

Moreover, Zhang Zhao has other ideas about Longtao Academy. In Zhang Zhao's mind, it is not only the cradle for expanding westward, but also the cradle for expanding eastward more than ten years later.

This East is not the Great Eastern Kingdom of North Korea, nor the arrogant Eastern Emperor of Japan, but the Americas further east.

According to the productivity conditions at this time, colonizing the Americas is completely a dream, and Zhang Zhao will not be so big as to have such an idea.

But it is still possible to reach America after ten, twenty failures, or ten or 20 years of trying, driven by the royal family.

Zhang Zhao thought about the specialties of the Americas, such as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, upland cotton, peppers, peanuts, tomatoes, kidney beans, and pumpkins.

Whatever it is, it is a godsend, especially the first three, which can change the course of human civilization.

Even if it costs 500,000 guan, 1 million guan or even two 3 million guan, it is worth it.

This money, he Zhang Zhao pays!

If corn and potatoes can be found on other lands in China for hundreds of years, even if they cannot be as high-yield as the corn and potatoes of later generations, it will be a great progress to increase the yield by one hundred catties per mu.

By then there will be sufficient food, and China will have a population of over [-] million or even [-] million by the eleventh century. Does that mean that?

Because in history, the population of the world in the eleventh century was only a little over 20 million, and after deducting the [-] million in the early Northern Song Dynasty, it would be less than [-] million.

At that time, China's population will account for half or even two-thirds of the world's population. What are you going to play with me?Relying on fertility can assimilate any alien race.

And once they have been to America, the news that there are more gold and silver in America will definitely spread like wildfire.

At this time, the fleet and routes that Zhang Zhao spent millions of dollars in the early stage will immediately be taken over by countless capitals from various places. At that time, the conservative atmosphere will definitely be wiped out!

Just the drive to pan for gold can send Zhang Zhou to the throne of ocean overlord!
Although the dynasty I established will certainly not last forever, maybe it will fall behind during the great geographical discovery, and then be overthrown by someone, but this nation has gained a new life!

The more Zhang Zhao thought about it, the more excited he became. The sense of superiority of a saint and the sense of dedication of a pioneer almost sent him to heaven.

The 17-year-old No. [-] loli Pan Taiya looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Zhao's sister Sefiye who was constantly eating preserved plums. Pan Taiya suddenly became very confident in her skills .

The sage was served by her with red face, blurred eyes, almost dying of immortality. Just ask, who in the harem can have such a means?

This. At least you can get the title of concubine, right?
In excitement, this princess of Saman Persia, whose skin is as white as milk, with a thin waist and plump buttocks, is completely unworthy of the title of Lolita, twisted her snow-white water snake waist, gently touched her bright red mouth, and then slammed Suck, almost sucked the soul of Zhang Dashengren (the following will be omitted...).

. . . .

In the early morning, the sage had worked all night and had to get out of bed with back pain. Cao Yanmian gave Zhang Zhao a distressed look, and then he was so jealous that he almost strangled the two Persian elves to death.

"Everyone, the wedding of eldest sister and brother Mei is coming soon, don't you have to give a title? We have agreed to use a princess gift to marry eldest sister."

The eldest sister is Zhang Qiwan, and the elder sister is Zhao Kuangzan.

At the beginning Zhao Kuangzan made up his mind to join him, and when he was in Khitan, he took the risk of passing on the news and took down the Hezhong Mansion himself. It was Zhang Zhao who agreed to marry Zhang Qiwan to him, and he married him as a princess.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stood up, opened his hands and asked Cao Yanmian to put on the robe for him.

"What does it mean to marry with a princess ceremony? The eldest sister is my daughter, and it should be my princess Da Zhou.

Um!Since the title of the princess has not yet been determined, my brother will help me win the first big victory in Hezhong. There is Baoding County in the county under the jurisdiction of Hezhong Prefecture. Let it be named after Baoding and be named Princess Baoding.

Give food to [-] households in Baoding County, order to build the Baoding Princess Mansion, distribute internal funds to buy dowry, and give gold, silver, brocade and silk worth [-] guan for the daily use of the princess and her son-in-law. "

The title of princess is also high and low, especially the title of princess in the Tang Dynasty, not many counties are used, and the county is generally used, which is called county princess.

Those who are named after the county are called the princess of the county. Note that this is not the same thing as the princess and the county master.

But when it comes to Zhang Zhao, he wants to engage in Xiajun and barbarians and armed colonization, so there is no need to strictly restrict son-in-law like Song and Ming. Tebi is in the Ming Dynasty, so paranoid that even the emperor's daughter is worried about marrying.

Therefore, the starting point for conferring the title of princess has to be a little lower. You are the princess of Wei State or Chu State. After that, how can you reward the son-in-law for his great achievements?
Cao Yanmian, who got the correct answer, went out with twists and turns. Zhang Zhao suddenly thought, hey!Qiwan's marriage specification has been determined long ago, and Cao Yanmian's questioning like this is probably reminding him that everyone in the harem has not yet been sealed.

Sure enough, when Zhang Zhao sent someone to call the Empress Cao Yanxi over, the pregnant Empress was pouting her mouth in displeasure. She never stopped talking when she saw Zhang Zhao.

"It's good to be a sage. He plays and sings with his brothers every night, but we women don't have anything. I want to hold a banquet and get together with my sisters. There is no chance to make the two mothers happy!"

Zhang Zhao understands a truth very well, a pregnant woman must not be stimulated, as long as it is not too much, she can do what she says, this is what Zhang Shengren concluded after having more than a dozen children.

Immediately, he took Cao Yanxi's hand and arranged him to sit down, and then promised again and again in the eyes of a group of court ladies trying to hold back their laughter.

"The seal will be sealed immediately, and according to the ancient etiquette, two noble concubines will be set up under the queen, and then there will be eight concubines: Xian, Shu, Zhuang, Jing, Shun, Hui, Kang, and Ning. Ann waits for nine concubines.

Guaranteed everyone!They all have famous names, and the 24 divisions of the six bureaus are also arranged together, so that you can hold a harem banquet in a splendid manner. "

Only then was Cao Yanxi satisfied, and stretched out his light white hand to hammer Zhang Zhao's back diligently, with a fawning appearance after receiving benefits, and he was still reminding him.

"The saint should arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise all the sisters will come to ask me."

Zhang Zhao repeatedly nodded in agreement, and suddenly felt that the hammering movement behind him stopped, and looked back cautiously.

Sure enough, Cao Yanxi, who had been drowsy since she was pregnant, had already fallen asleep with the brocade quilt on her back, and several palace servants who had long been accustomed to her habit were gently supporting the queen.

Zhang Zhao glanced dotingly, then stood up and ordered softly, "Let the queen sleep here for a while!"

. . . .

In the Chongzheng Palace, Zhang Liecheng hurried back and handed over the survey results of the Ministry of Industry.

"Sage, we have found a suitable location for firing bricks around Luoyang. We have also started planning for the construction of Luoyang's palace city and inner and outer cities, but the estimated time is at least five years."

Zhang Zhao nodded, "Five years is not a long time, so don't worry about the builders, but in terms of materials and corruption, Jinyi's personal guards should pay close attention to it."

Zhang Zhao is still planning to make Luoyang the capital. He is carrying the banner of Zhou and Tang. It is impossible to justify not going to Luoyang. Besides, Kaifeng is really not suitable to be the capital.

To be a city like Shanghai in later generations, Kaifeng is feasible at this time, but as the capital of the country, there are too many disadvantages.

Ma De, there is no danger to defend on the plains. In the future, the Yellow River will become a river hanging on the ground here. Just dig a big hole and it will be directly flooded. What do you use as the capital of the country!
However, Luoyang was dilapidated at this time, and there were no large trees to build the palace, so Zhang Zhao planned to reduce the use of wood and use more fired bricks for construction, and by the way, also promote the improvement of the brick-fired process.

And he didn't plan to set up only Luoyang as the capital, which obviously wouldn't work under the current traffic conditions.

The father and son talked for a while, Yu Hou Fanshun, who was in charge of guarding the Forbidden Palace, came to report, and Hu Guang asked to see him outside the palace, saying that he had something important to report.

Zhang Zhao got up abruptly, Hu Guang was sent by him to inquire about Nan Tang, and he came to report at this time, it must be that Du Chongwei from Songzhou had indeed hooked up with Nan Tang.
