My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 522 Reunion
The sun sets and the waves ripple.

Zhu Zhanhe stood on the pier of Laizhou Port. When he saw a fleet of ships heading for the Han Dynasty slowly sailing into the port, he suddenly became excited.

"Big brother!"

Before the boat even docked, a young man on the bow shouted excitedly to Zhu Zhanhe on the dock. It turned out to be Zhu Zhanqi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After Zhu Zhanqi stayed in Tianzhu for a while, he traveled overseas for a long time and did not come back until today.

In addition, beside Zhu Zhanqi stood Zhang Zhong. They also met by chance on the road and came back together.

When the ship docked, Zhang Zhong and Zhu Zhanqi disembarked together. Zhu Zhanhe also quickly stepped forward to greet them. The three of them were very happy to see each other.

Zhu Zhanhe had already prepared a reception banquet, so the three of them returned to Zhu Zhanhe's residence and sat down to eat and chat.

"Zhanhe, this should be the last batch of immigrants. Once the immigrants are sent to Tianzhu, I may not come back so frequently."

Zhang Zhong picked up the wine glass at this time and said with emotion.

During this period, for immigration matters, he and Tang Sai'er each led a fleet, taking turns coming back every six months, and often getting together with Zhu Zhanhe.

But after the last batch of immigrants went to Tianzhu, Zhang Zhong, as the naval commander under Zhu Gaoxu, would definitely be responsible for the naval affairs in Tianzhu, so he might not come back for a long time.

"Brother Zhang, don't leave in a hurry when you come back this time. Zhu Yong will also come back from Japan in the next few days. Then the three of us will get together!"

Zhu Zhanhe also raised his glass at this time and said, since Zhang Zhong went to sea, the three of them have never been together again. This time they finally have a chance to reunite. As for the next time, God knows when?
"Brother Zhu is coming back? That would be great. The three of us will definitely get drunk before we stop!"

Zhang Zhong almost jumped up with excitement when he heard the good news. This should be the best news he has heard in the past few years.

"Brother, I heard that you were the one who ordered the newspaper to be produced?"

At this time, Zhu Zhanqi suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe. He had read several newspapers on the way back and was quite interested in the contents.

"Yes, I asked Ma An to create the News, and then Xia Shangshu created the Confucian Journal. Finally, Grandpa Huang also decided to create a Yongle Daily."

Zhu Zhanhe replied with a smile.

"Then do you have any old newspapers in your hand? We have difficulty transmitting news overseas. Occasionally, a few newspapers are spread overseas, and they are regarded as treasures. Even if you have money, you can't buy them."

Zhu Zhanqi asked immediately.

"Don't worry, I've already had people prepare it. From the first issue to the latest issue of the News, as well as Confucian Daily and Yongle Daily, I have also prepared many sets. I will give you one set each! "

Zhu Zhanhe laughed.

From the beginning of the publication of newspapers, people began to collect these newspapers and bind them into volumes. This thing may seem worthless, but it is of great significance and can be given away.

"And me, I got a few newspapers on the way. When I was bored on the boat, I almost tore through the newspapers. This thing is simply better than any book!"

Zhang Zhong also asked Zhu Zhanhe for advice at this time. The days on the ship were really boring. If he had a pile of newspapers, it would help him kill a lot of time.

"No problem, I have prepared many sets. When the time comes, you can go back and give one set to my father and Yang Changshi, so as to understand the situation in Ming Dynasty." Zhu Zhanhe nodded immediately.

"By the way, how is my dad's side? Is Nan Tianzhu's side stable?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought of Tianzhu's situation again, so he asked Zhang Zhong again.

The last time Tang Sai'er led the fleet back, he told him that after Zhu Gaoxu unified Tianzhu, southern Tianzhu was not stable. The Tamil people in the south have been making trouble, so Zhu Zhanhe was also very concerned about this matter. .

"Don't worry, the prince sent Chang Wei to lead the troops to suppress it. The Tamil people who dared to cause trouble have been completely eliminated!"

Zhang Zhong said with a slight smile.

The area of ​​Tianzhu is almost flat. Especially when attacking from north to south, there are almost no natural dangers to defend, and the local Tianzhu people are very backward. Therefore, when the Ming army arrived there, it was like a magical force descending from the sky. There had never been any Fought and lost battles.

"That's good. Now that we have more immigrants in Tianzhu, we can encourage them to have more children. In addition, education must also keep up. Don't forget your identity as a Chinese descendant when you go overseas."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly, and then expressed his opinion.

When the Han people arrived in Tianzhu, they were at a demographic disadvantage. If they did not preserve their own national culture, they might be assimilated by the local natives after many years.

The culture of a place like Tianzhu is simply a mess. Zhu Zhanhe did not want his descendants to lose the cultural identity of the Han people and become like the natives of Tianzhu.

"You should have thought of it together with Yang Changshi. He has selected the literate immigrants among the immigrants, printed a large number of books, compiled them into teaching materials, and set up schools to let immigrant children read and write."

Zhang Zhong introduced again.

Most immigrants live in concentrated areas, so children can study together. Moreover, Yang Shiqi has ordered that children under 12 years old must be forced to attend school, and children over 12 years old are voluntary. After all, in this era, 12-year-old children are already half of the labor force. .

"Yang Changshi really has a long-term vision. We have few people. If we want to select talents among them, we must vigorously strengthen education. Only when more people study, can more talents emerge!"

Zhu Zhanhe praised that Yang Shiqi was worthy of being the first of the three Yangs in history. He really chose the right person.

Zhang Zhong introduced a lot about Tianzhu, and Zhu Zhanhe listened very carefully. Zhu Zhanqi also interrupted from time to time. After all, he had stayed in Tianzhu for a long time.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe asked Zhu Zhanqi: "Zhanqi, have you been overseas recently?"

"I have been to too many places. After leaving Tianzhu, I first went to the land of the great cannibals, and then to Africa. I saw the unicorn that Zheng Neigong gave to Grandpa Huang. Only then did I realize that it turned out that Kirin is very common in Africa and is even a relatively large deer..."

Zhu Zhanqi was very excited when he talked about what he had seen overseas. He originally wanted to bypass Africa and go to Europe, which Zhu Zhanqi had specially marked on the globe.

But he had no choice but to encounter a storm in Africa and had to return. After resting for a while in Tianzhu, he went to Nanyang for a long time, and finally met Zhang Zhongcai and came back together.

"By the way, there is news recently coming from Nanyang. Brother, you must be very interested!"

When Zhu Zhanqi mentioned Nanyang, he suddenly said again very excitedly.
