The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

After a while, Liu Sheng finished reading the telegram.

In fact, it is the report of the southbound detachment on this exploration.

He looked uncertain.

In order to improve the exploration efficiency and safety of the two detachments, Liu Sheng gave them partial copies of later American topographic maps.

Based on the maps in their hands, the two detachments could probably determine where they sailed.

However, the southbound detachment reported that they had almost reached the west coast directly opposite Mexico City marked on the map.

However, I didn't see any Western Yi ports or strongholds along the way, not even the shadow of a Western Yi ship.

In several natural harbors and places where it is easy to land, the southbound detachment also sent personnel to go ashore and explore the land in depth.

I have met a lot of indigenous people, but I still haven't seen any Xiyi people.

There are no traces of buildings suspected to be left by the Westerners on this land.

It's as if... the Western Yi haven't set foot on this land yet!
Although this is not written in the report, this is the answer closest to Liu Sheng's analysis.

'If Europeans really haven't set foot in America yet, then the time and space on the other side of the door must be different from here. '

'And the difference is not as simple as a few days, the time difference is likely to be hundreds, or even hundreds of years! '

As far as Liu Sheng knows.

As early as the beginning of the sixteenth century, the Spanish destroyed the Aztec Empire, occupied the city of Trochititlan, and renamed it "Mexico City".

More than one hundred and twenty years have passed!
Perhaps the Spaniards mainly operated in the Gulf of Mexico, but they did not leave even a trace on the west coast, which is not too far away.

In fact, Europeans mostly explored the west coast of America from south to north, and almost all of them had explored San Francisco at this time!
These things further support the answer that the America on the other side of the time and space gate is not the same time and space as this one.

Immediately, Liu Sheng thought of more questions.

First, what year is it there? Is it even the earth?

Secondly, since the time and space on the other side of the door is different from that on this side, will there also be a time and space door in the Central Valley of North America in the time and space where the Ming Dynasty and Damei were located?

And in another time and space, in Tianmu Mountain in Henan, China, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, is there a time and space door hidden?

If so, where will these two space-time doors lead to?

As for what kind of result Liu Sheng expected, he didn't know.

Perhaps the world of the space-time door doll is more exciting, but it also means huge dangers that are beyond control.

If he had to choose, Liu Sheng still hoped that the gate of time and space was the only one he had control over.

But no matter what, he should try to explore the Central Valley of North America in this time and space, and the Tianmu Mountains in Henan, China, in another time and space.

To achieve this goal.

First of all, the Da'ei fleet must have the strength to attack the sea area near home.

Secondly, you must have the ability and experience to cross the Pacific.

As far as Liu Sheng knew, in the age of sailing, there were generally two routes across the Pacific.

That is, the South Pacific route, and the North Pacific route.

And Europeans basically take the South Pacific route.

He didn't know whether the North Pacific route was currently open.

As for crossing the Pacific Ocean directly from the middle, sailing ships may be able to do it, but whether they can reach it safely depends entirely on luck.

The true opening of the Central Pacific route had to wait until the steamship era to be realized.

Of course, he had some information on this in his computer hard drive, and he had European experience to draw from. If the Da'ei fleet wanted to open up a new route, it didn't have to start from scratch.

'No matter what, we must speed up the construction of the navy. '

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng put away the telegram and gave it to Secretary Lang to sort and collect.

Then he said, "It is proposed that the Ministry of Finance will provide additional funding to Longjiang Shipyard and increase the construction budget for three more ironclad ships."

Whether it is to allow the Damai Navy to attack the sea area in front of home, or to form an ocean-going fleet in the future, only three ironclad ships will definitely not be enough, and at least three more will be needed.

As for financial issues, Liu Sheng has never really worried about them.

Not to mention that Da'ei's treasury will have hundreds of millions more silver dollars in revenue this year. If the finances really can't support it, they can just send an army overseas to rob it.

He may feel a little guilty about robbing other countries, but he has no guilt at all about robbing Japan - Japan was originally in his strategy plan to dominate the world.

······
In the step-by-step reform of major industries such as salt industry, tea industry, and mining, the summer of the fourth year of Qianyuan Period passed quickly.

The golden autumn of October has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Liu Sheng added two more sons.

First, Li Lingfei gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor at the end of August. He was named Hongbao (from the Songs of Chu) as a baby, and Liu Jing as his eldest name.

Then Bai Taiwei gave birth to the emperor's fifth son in mid-September. He named his baby Jingmo (also the name of a medicinal material) and his nickname Liu Chen.

As a result, Liu Sheng had five sons, and none of them have died in infancy.

Even as an emperor, he does not have a small number of heirs.

In the words of some veterans from the early Ming Dynasty, the foundation of Da'ei's country has become more stable.

What makes these former Ming Dynasty veterans slightly criticized is that Liu Sheng has not established a prince so far.

It stands to reason that Liu Rui, the daughter of the Red Lady, is the best candidate for the crown prince since she is a legitimate and eldest son. Liu Sheng should have established the crown prince as early as possible.

But Liu Sheng didn't want to completely inherit the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he was only in his early thirties, in his prime, and Liu Rui was only four or five years old, so no minister would be open-minded and give advice on this matter.

As for the few criticisms that Liu Sheng knew about, they were just private discussions that he learned about through Xiu Yiwei.

In addition to the double happiness for Liu Sheng's harem, this year is also a good year for the country of Damei.

Because, since the founding of Damei, this year has been the year with the fewest natural disasters so far.

All over the world, there is almost no major disaster.

As for other major and minor disasters, thanks to the response of the Da'ei imperial court and local officials, they did not bring much suffering to the local people.

This can be seen from the number of victims in the immigration town at the foot of Tianmu Mountain this year.

According to the latest report from the immigrant town in October, the total number of victims was only over 20,000, and they came from several provinces.

Although not all disaster victims were willing to accept the relocation organized by the Da'ei imperial court, the victims in the immigration towns were only a small part of the people affected by the disaster in Da'ei.

But even if this number is expanded to ten times, it is still not a large number compared to Da'ei's current population of more than 100 million.

Moreover, those victims who stayed in the local area and refused to move also showed that the local government had made proper arrangements. If the government had not made arrangements, the victims would have accepted the move in order to survive, no matter how reluctant they were.

Although there were only more than 20,000 victims, Liu Sheng decided to go to Tianmu Mountain.

One is to send these victims to North America to avoid the backlog.

If a major disaster occurs next year, there will be a backlog of victims this year, which will increase the pressure on immigration suppression.

Secondly, the railway from Hefei to Shouzhou to Ruyang and then to Minggang has been built. Liu Sheng has not ridden on it yet and plans to experience it once.

In other words, he does not need to go up the Huaihe River this time and can take the train almost the entire journey.

Third, because he deduced that the North American side and this side were most likely not in the same time and space, he still wanted to go there and have a look before he felt relieved.

This time, in addition to the relatively regular entourage in the past, Liu Sheng chose to bring two concubines with him.

Shufei Li Xiangyun.

An Fei Zheng Haizhu.

In addition, there is Liu Yao, the eldest daughter of the emperor.

In fact, Liu Sheng originally wanted to take the emperor's eldest son Liu Rui.

The reason why he had to bring a child there was because Liu Sheng was going to test whether his child could inherit the characteristics of passing through the time and space gate.

No one knows what the results of the experiment will be, and they may even be dangerous.

The matchmaker advised him, saying that Liu Rui was related to the country and it was best not to take him to risk.

Considering that Liu Rui was already in kindergarten at the Royal School, the two finally chose Liu Yao.

The reason why they were chosen from Liu Rui and Liu Yao was because only this child and the couple could fully make the decision.

As for the other princes and princesses, no matter whether they let the Red Lady make the decision or let their mother and concubine make the decision, there will always be problems in the end.

Of course, the choices made by Liu Sheng and the Red Lady were also unfair—unfair to Liu Yao.

But the two of them had no other better choice.

Liu Sheng now has more and more children, and he spends most of his time dealing with state affairs, so he spends less time with his children.

There is even less time allocated to a certain child.

Liu Yao was born on February 1643, the second year of Qianyuan (), and is only three years old now.

But she is very healthy and very smart.

Now he can not only run very steadily, but his speaking and understanding abilities are almost the same as those of a four- or five-year-old child.

Liu Yao was very happy to be able to leave the palace with Liu Sheng and see the outside world. She was curious about many things along the way.

Liu Sheng felt quite guilty for Liu Yao.

Therefore, I spent many times on the road holding Liu Yao and answering her various naive and simple questions.

"Father, father, is this a ship? Are we on the sea now?"

"This is not the sea, this is the Yangtze River. However, if Yao'er wants to see the sea, wait until you get to North America and my father will take you to see it."

"Okay, okay."

"Train! Father, this must be a train, my brother told me!"

"Yao'er is so smart, yes, this is a train."

"That's great. Brother Huang and several younger brothers and sisters have never taken a train. I am the first one!"

"···"

along the way.

The more interactions between father and daughter, the more Liu Sheng thinks Liu Yao is cute and smart, and the more guilty he feels.

Even the original idea was shaken, and he didn't want Liu Yao to carry out the experiment with unpredictable results.

Maybe it doesn't matter whether his children can pass through the time and space gate.

It's good to just have him control the space-time gate.

If he passes away one day, let the time and space gate disappear into this world with him. (End of chapter)
