My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 349 Extra Story: We Have No Shortage of Princesses
"Constantinople! Still a princess!"

Xu Jingchang was shocked, this is the famous princess in purple!

As we all know, in Europe, the title of emperor has something to do with Rome.

For example, the first Rome, the second Rome, and the Eastern Rome... It seems that after a few decades, Constantinople fell, and the princess married the Grand Duchy of Moscow. It's the so-called Third Rome.

Then there is that thing that is neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire... The king is also called the emperor.

As for Nahuang, he also forced Habsburg to give up Emperor Shinra, and he himself was crowned emperor.

The only exception is Daiying... In order not to suffer losses in dealing with other countries, they looked around a lot, and they couldn't get any of the European crowns, so they simply crowned the emperor of India.

The Roman Empire had an inner lake in the Mediterranean Sea, and we have an even bigger inner lake in Daiying...the Indian Ocean!

That’s why the sun never sets with India’s talents, and without India it is a kingdom, and no one but the Weeping Country can’t live forever.

If the princess in purple was brought to Daming decades before the fall of Constantinople, then Daming would also have a strong claim.

The laurel crown of the emperor of the Roman Empire can also be kept in Daming.

The value of this thing is immeasurable!

Although this bastard in my family is unreliable, he always does not forget to bring back some good things, and he is quite promising.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingchang couldn't help but said: "Since you are a princess, you have to take good care of her, especially to remind your mother that it is not easy for her to come from afar. You have to take food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily life into consideration. No matter what requirements you have, do your best." satisfy."

Hearing what his father said, Xu Xianzhong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he looked at his father vigilantly, "Are you always thinking of something?"

Xu Jingchang looked at him and frowned, "What the hell idea? A friend came from afar, and you didn't even talk about hospitality?"

Xu Xianzhong shook his head even more, "That's not right, didn't you say that a friend came from afar, whipped dozens of times, and drove him away?" The boy leaned close to Xu Jingchang's ear, and said in a low voice, "You tell me the truth, don't you? I covet her, and want to fill me in as an aunt!"

"You fart!"

Xu Jingchang gave Xu Xianzhong a ruthless kick as soon as he lifted his foot.

This bastard is really neither big nor small. Although your father has a lot of hobbies, he has never had a reputation for being lecherous, and it is obvious that this little princess is not as old as your kid.

Even if you have a crooked mind, you are the one who hit it, after all, you got it back.

How can you press it on my head?
You disobedient, unfilial son!

Xu Jingchang was furious, but Xu Xianzhong was eloquent, "Father, let me ask you something, how many princesses do we have?"

"How much? On the side of the clan, there are only a few left by the Emperor Taizu, and there are not many princesses of the Emperor Taizu. Your Majesty is quite capable of giving birth, there are about a dozen of them."

Xu Xianzhong said: "I'm talking about foreign countries."

"Foreign? How do I know!"

Xu Xianzhong stretched out his palm and shook it at Xu Jingchang.

"Five?" Xu Jingchang said casually.

"It's five hundred!"

"So many?" Xu Jingchang was also taken aback.At present, there are quite a lot of foreign guests from all kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty, but Xu Jingchang is not clear about the specific situation.

But no matter what, it is impossible to have hundreds of princesses, aren't you talking nonsense?

"Father, let me do the math for you...the Ryukyu royal family has moved here, and there are 17 children studying in Beijing alone, including five women, 20 from the Annan clan, eight women, and more than a dozen from North Korea. Let alone the country of Wa, they are full of princes, if you count the women of these princes, there are hundreds of them in the country of Wa alone!"

Hearing what his son said, Xu Jingchang seemed to remember it too.

This was still one of his national policies at the beginning.

Because with the continuous use of troops by the Ming Dynasty, many tribes in small countries surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, there is a need to express...someone said that according to the rules of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, it is necessary to send a proton to express surrender.If you break your promise, you will kill your precious son first.

Before Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne, he was a proton, which is very sad.

Some people also suggested the opposite. In the Tang Dynasty, there were also cases of princesses marrying out, turning the leader of the other party into the son-in-law of Daming. With this level of in-law relationship, peace can also be guaranteed.

When Xu Jingchang was the envoy, he severely criticized these two views.

Proton said that it turned the Ming Dynasty into a water park and Liangshan, which was too unstructured.

As for the princess marrying abroad, she still regards the state affairs as a family matter, which is totally unreliable,

The plan Xu Jingchang came up with was to ask for surrender to the tribal country, and to send the descendants of the clan nobles to study and study in Daming. It specifically stipulated that women must come over.

This point has really caused quite a bit of controversy. Boys are useful, but women can also be hostages, influencing national policy?

It's too whimsical, right?

Xu Jingchang sneered at this, his short-sightedness allowed him to see this distance.

Recruiting women to study is no easy task.

In the current Ming Dynasty, due to the development of industries such as textiles and garments, there are many female migrant workers... Women's schools have also emerged as the times require, and the number of students enrolled is increasing every year.

This formed a completely different atmosphere. In Daming, women could study, do business, and even be officials.Every holiday, the streets are full of beautiful girls.

This made it impossible for many barbarian countries to even think about it.

Although the status of women in various Mongolian tribes is also quite high, in the final analysis, it is due to the lack of labor force, women are used as men, and men are used as livestock...

People like Daming, that's not even a dream.

Therefore, those women who came to Daming to study have completely opened their horizons and increased their knowledge.

Most of them depended on Daming and were reluctant to go back.

And those who went back were equivalent to bringing back the elegance of Daming.

Any princess or noble daughter is the best fashion vane. When they wear Daming costumes and treasures from Daming, speak with a Ming accent when they go back, and are proficient in tea ceremony, temperament, and can sing ditties, they are immediately received by the local people. sought after.

If you can read the Analects of Confucius, know the Records of the Historian, and tell the history of China, you will be like a living god.

Even those courtiers who looked at Xu Jingchang had to admit that Ding Guogong was too clever.

The trade volume between a place and Daming is directly proportional to the number of students returning to study abroad... Basically, the more you go back, the more thorough your studies, the more eager you are for Ming's goods, and the smoother the trade between the two sides will be.

Conversely, for these princes and noble daughters who returned from studying in Daming, their connections in Daming also became their capital.

With this, after going back, his status skyrocketed and his status rose rapidly.

Wealth, status, and even authority are rapidly improving.

Even Zhu Di could see the benefits in this.

So he got a Liuming preparatory course in Tianzhu.

Specially recruit overseas students from Tianzhu.

And Zhu Di is very caring, leaving [-]% quota for low castes,

This [-]% quota is not that low castes only account for [-]%... but that after deducting [-]%, the remaining [-]% are fair exams, and low castes can also participate.

Although it is difficult for poor people of low caste to compete with the upper class... But there are enough of them, and history also tells us that as long as the number reaches a certain level, there will always be a few gods against the sky.

Therefore, in Tianzhu, the entrance examination for the Ming Dynasty Study Abroad Preparatory Program has become the craziest exam. Everyone has racked their brains and tried their best to compete for less than one-thousandth of the places.

Smokey roll!

This is the reason why the Eastern Roman princess wanted to find a tutor.

You can't do it without hard work!

After Xu Jingchang figured out these things, he couldn't help but sigh, the current Daming really looks like a world coming to court.

"Listen up, kid. Teach them carefully and be more caring. It's best to let this foreign princess like you!" Xu Jingchang taught his son earnestly.

Xu Xianzhong rolled his eyelids, and said helplessly, "Your old man doesn't have any tricks, does he?"

Xu Jingchang's face sank, "Give me some respect. As a father, this is for your own good. If we can really get married, the descendants of our Xu family will have the right to inherit the Roman Empire. One day, we will reappear It is also a good thing that Rome is glorious and the king is in the west.”

Xu Xianzhong thought about it seriously, "I understand, you don't want to take over the old Zhu's world, and you plan to find another way, right?"

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, "Anyway, I don't care, it mainly depends on what you think."
