Daming 1805

Chapter 184 The important abilities of princes
On the 34rd day of the twelfth lunar month in the 23th year of Taiping.

This year, the last transport ship sent from Daming mainland to the Great Food Kingdom, and also the last transport ship in the Taiping era arrived in Liusha City.

Two servants arranged by Zhu Jianyan and Liang Yunying, brothers Fuquan and Fuwang, came to Zhu Jingyuan's palace with Liang Yunying's letter.

After seeing the familiar Zhu Jingyuan, the two brothers fell to their knees directly:
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, Madam ordered the two of us to send a letter here, please have a look at it."

The two handed Liang Yunying's letter to the guards who followed them.

Zhu Jingyuan already knew through the telegram that his mother had written a reply letter to him, and now he is not much surprised.

Let the guards check the letters on the spot, took two [-]-silver banknotes, and rewarded them to the Fuquan brothers who came over during the Chinese New Year:

"You have been floating on the sea for more than half a month, go to the backyard to rest for two days, and I will call you when I have something to do..."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two brothers Fuquan bowed and agreed, and left the room very cautiously.

The two of them are servants of Zhu Jianyan's family, and they are already the second generation of servants.

Their parents were both Zhu Jianyan's servants when they were young, and they were "Henan" and "Henu" who were born in the Japanese archipelago.

But their mother was not a maid like Chunxiang who lived in the prince's and grandson's house, but an ordinary maid who worked in the courtyard.

In ordinary wealthy families, most of the maids doing chores in the yard are Burmese maidservants and orchids.

As the queen's second son, Zhu Jianyan, even the ordinary maids in the courtyard, would use Henv and North Korean maidservants, but their appearance was more ordinary.

The father of the Fuquan brothers was a male servant who did odd jobs. Zhu Jianyan married the two parents after they were in their 20s, and they gave birth to four children in Zhu Jianyan's house.

This family is very grateful to Zhu Jianyan. Being a servant can still have a relatively stable family, and life is much better than in his hometown.

In the generation of Fuquan's parents, when they became the servants of the prince, they had already received comprehensive training, and basically had no characteristics of their hometown.

In the generation of the Fuquan brothers, they are still slaves only in terms of status, and their ancestral home is still listed on the registration information.

The Fuquan brothers went to rest with the butler.

Zhu Jingyuan's guards checked the letter and handed it over to Zhu Jingyuan after confirming that there was no problem.

Zhu Jingyuan's eyes widened after reading a few words. What he saw a few days ago, those official rewards were not all!
I can actually ask my father for another reward in private!
Of course, there won't be more dividends from Huangzhuang, it's just that you can ask for land in several other places.

This is the credit of my mother. If she hadn't suggested it in front of her father, I might have only one copy.

There is even a certain possibility that they can only get the land of Crete.

Although those lands mean little to me, I still thank my beloved mother.

Regarding the land that he can directly ask for again, Zhu Jingyuan already had ideas in his heart.

It is a few small islands next to Nagasaki, and a few small islands opposite the Lion City (Singapore).

And the junction of Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania...

The development of Nagasaki and Lion City is already very high, and there is no way to directly allocate a large amount of land locally.

I want a few small islands in such a key area, and just build a few manors in the middle of the bustling area.

As for the final junction of the three countries in East Mozhou, it is actually Lake Victoria in the previous life.

With a total area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers, the largest freshwater lake in Africa and the second largest in the world, it has not yet been discovered by the Ming and Taixi people.

The surrounding area of ​​this lake is actually the place with the most comfortable climate in the eastern part of Mozhou.

The temperature throughout the year is 28 degrees to 36 degrees, the lowest in history is not less than ten degrees, and the lowest in history is not more than [-] degrees.

I have to find someone to investigate, record the situation and report it, and at the same time ask for it.

This kind of uninhabited place in the eyes of Ming and Taixi people can be obtained even if it is tens of thousands or even 10,000+ square kilometers.

Of course, the name of Victoria will be changed, and it will be called Daming Lake in the future.

But for Zhu Jingyuan, these lands are no longer the focus.

The focus is on other things mentioned in the letter.

His mother, Liang Yunying, is coming to the Great Food Kingdom!

And it's here to directly urge marriage and urge pregnancy!

Zhu Jingyuan lived with his mother for more than ten years in this life, and then recovered the memory of his previous life.

So the feelings for the parents in this life are still real.

It's just that the living habits and personality of the previous life are superimposed, which leads to a natural resistance to such things as urging marriage.

But now I have no way to refuse.

Emperor Shizu left a judgment that children before the age of 20 were not strong enough, and then it was verified by the research institute of Tai Hospital.

However, the Ming royal family still supports the prince and grandson to find a partner to have children as soon as possible after they are 16 years old.

The purpose is very simple, to determine as soon as possible that the prince and grandson can bear children.

Although the probability of infertility is very small, it is necessary to do several verifications to avoid those not too high possibilities.

For potential princes, fertility is very important, even extremely important ability.

Once it is confirmed that he is born without fertility, then the prince and grandson must have no chance of being a reserve.

In most cases, the potential prince should not only be able to have children, but also not have too low fertility.

This ability can't be too low. It doesn't mean that the prince can meet the physiological needs of women. The prince doesn't need to think about such things.

But the constitution is relatively easy to make one's wives and concubines pregnant. The actual internal logic should be that the germ cell activity is high.

Because the heirs of Ming Dynasty adopted a semi-competitive model, there were quite strict position reserve training and administrative training assessments.

Without a sufficient number of sons, without sons who can pass reserve training and practical training, there is no way to ensure the ability of future generations of emperors.

If a certain prince or grandson changed several concubines in a row, and it took several years to have a male and a half female, then he would have no chance of succeeding to the throne.

As for other arrangements, it is not a big deal to let officials and teachers with daughters come to Dashiguo, and let themselves pay for bursaries and hope schools.

Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, the direction and purpose of this decision-making are extremely corrupt.

But the current parties may not be against this kind of thing.

If these people knew that this was to create opportunities for their daughter to contact Zhu Jingyuan, they might even try to grab the spot.

After all, Zhu Jingyuan is the second richest person in the world.

After reading his mother's letter, Zhu Jingyuan sighed faintly.

With my own identity, I really have no way to shirk it, I can only accept this reality.

Fortunately, he is now the prince of Daming, and no woman can show him face.

I don't have any fear of marriage now.

Of course, don't worry too much about raising children.

I really don't want my eldest son to be born to Hu Ji.

So there is really no problem with mother's arrangement.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jingyuan returned a telegram to his mother.

Generally speaking, it means that I know the mother's plan and accept the mother's arrangement.

Sponsor poor students, invest in hope schools, and find girls you like by the way.

I can ask for two concubines of the prince in advance, and I can ask the clan mansion to arrange for me, but I don't want to find children of my own age.

It is too dangerous to be a mother at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Of course, it is impossible to follow the so-called optimal childbearing age of about 30 years old in modern times.

First of all, although I don't mind if the child's mother is more mature, but I really can't accept an aunt who is ten years older than me...

Secondly, the best childbearing age around 30 years old is the standard of modern society.

It is a conclusion based on factors such as the mother's learning and growth, ability and income, psychological maturity, ability to take care of children, and social medical conditions.

Zhu Jingyuan, in this era when modern science has just started, the older the mother's childbearing age after adulthood, the more dangerous it is.

As a mother who is pregnant with the prince's child, she does not need to consider external factors such as the economy, environment, and family at all, nor does she need to consider her own ability to take care of the child.

Simply considering the mother's own physical condition, the most suitable age is 20 years old.

Although the incidence of various diseases is not the lowest, they are in the best physical condition and the strongest recovery ability.

It is when the possibility of persevering in the face of danger is higher.

So Zhu Jingyuan directly asked his mother to introduce two girls around 20 years old to him.

He needs to be tall and long-legged, in good health, optimistic and cheerful, never sick, and easy to give birth to.

I can't directly raise my age to 20, so let the mother of the child be in the best condition.
