Chapter 34 The Development of the Song Dynasty

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly much simpler. The total population of the Song Dynasty is only tens of thousands at the moment, and there are even fewer children.

There was almost no need for any expenses. Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie only opened five schools in the new envelope and selected more than a hundred tutors, which was enough.

As for the food.

The main reason for stationing here is that Da Song found out where the port is, the amount of sea fish is beyond imagination, and food is not a problem at all.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty has also opened up wasteland, and the fertility level of the land here is even comparable to the top fertile land in the Great Song Dynasty. It can be expected that there will be a bumper harvest in the future.

In this case, providing food to the school is naturally not a problem.

It's just that for Da Song, there is still an imminent problem.

That is population.

That's right, the population. Now the total number of people who have arrived in the Americas in the Song Dynasty is only 12.

In particular, there are tens of thousands of them who are family members of the palace, eunuchs, and maids of honor.

Such a small number of people obviously cannot support a system, let alone a country.

Even if Lu Xiufu has ordered the release of the maids and the marriage of the maids and guards, it will take more than ten years to develop.

It was obviously still too late.

"Lord Lu, why don't I take people back to Song Dynasty directly and transport a group of people over!"

Zhang Shijie couldn't help but speak.

"I'm afraid this won't work. Our sea-going ship is now seriously damaged and it may be difficult to return."

Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly.

Going back to bring people is undoubtedly the best result, but the problem is that although they have crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived in the Americas, the damage to the ship has been extremely serious.

If the voyage continues, the sea-going ship may not even reach Da Song, and it will sink.

Although it has begun to rebuild the ship.

But shipbuilding is not something that happens overnight, it can take several years, or even more than ten years, by which time the day lily will be cold.

"This!"

Hearing Lu Xiufu's words, Zhang Shijie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Without sea ships, it is obviously impossible to bring people back to Dasong.

But if they don't go back to Song Dynasty, where will they go to find people.

"Let His Majesty ask to see if that gentleman can solve it."

After a moment of silence, Lu Xiufu spoke softly. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the magical existence in His Majesty's mind.

It was also because of that magical existence that they escaped death and had the possibility to start again.

Now that he was in trouble, Lu Xiufu couldn't help but think of it again.

"That gentleman?"

Zhang Shijie was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and nodded his head.

Soon Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie found Zhao Bing.

After hearing Lu Xiufu's words, Zhao Bing did not hesitate and quickly started asking questions in the group.

Emperor of Song Dynasty

"@集主, sir, I have a small population in Song Dynasty, so I don't know how to solve it."

The information is sent out.

It's a pity that Jiang Chen was already asleep and didn't see it at all.

Instead, Zhu Di saw it.

It's just that when he saw the words of Song Modi, Zhu Di couldn't help but frowned.

But still quickly replied.

The two immediately entered into a conversation.

The night gradually passed.

21st century.

Cape of Good Hope.

On the huge scientific research ship, there was a famous archaeological expert, and the salvage team could not help but fall into excitement.

In a few days, they had completely cleaned up the silt on the surface of the ship, and the appearance of the huge ship undoubtedly made everyone fall into excitement.

Even though they already knew the size of this ship during the detection of the instrument, the real shock came when the sight appeared.

Like a prehistoric beast, it is silent at the bottom of the sea, and the impact it gives people is almost unimaginable.

"Treasure ship, this is the treasure ship!"

"Ancient aircraft carrier!"

Some were muttering to themselves, while others were looking wildly.

There are also people who can't help themselves.

And in this kind of emotion, interruption is undoubtedly more rapid.

Soon, supplies were salvaged one by one on the treasure ship.

Most of them are rotten, but there are also some that are not rotten, such as porcelain.

There was an unimaginable amount of porcelain. It took a whole week to salvage the porcelain, but the porcelain in the treasure ship had not yet been completely salvaged.

It is hard to imagine how much porcelain was transported here.

In addition to porcelain, there are also weapons and armor, the number of which exceeds [-]. Even if it is corroded by sea water, you can already feel the fighting spirit on it.

This made the archaeologists and the salvage team more excited.

And this kind of excitement undoubtedly reached a peak when a treasure chest was discovered from a hatch of the treasure ship.

Because when the treasure chest was opened, there was a map in it.

"This, this is?"

On the scientific research ship, an old man held a map drawn on the fur of an unknown animal in front of him, his whole body trembling.

His pupils were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Because the map depicted on the fur of this unknown animal at this moment not only has a comprehensive map of Zheng He's voyages to the West, but also Europe and even America.

That's right, there is actually a picture of America on this map.

Even if it is not very clear, I just copied a general idea.

However, even so, it gave everyone a huge and incomparable shock.

Not to mention Europe.

America alone.

This is America.

As we all know, in America, on August 1492, 8, Columbus, on the orders of the Spanish rulers Isabella and Ferdinand, carried the books of the Eastern monarchs, led 3 ships and 3 sailors, and set sail from Port Barros to cross the Atlantic Ocean. , arrived in the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti and other places, and then sailed westward three times, arriving in Jamaica, Puerto Rico Islands and the coastal areas of Central and South America.

Only then did the great geographical discoveries come about.

Even if follow-up historical records found that there were people who had stepped into the Americas before Europe, they were all Europeans.

And this time is definitely not the Yongle period.

But what do they see now.

On the treasure ship, a map of the Americas was found, no, perhaps more accurately, it was a map of the world.

A world map that would never appear on a treasure ship.

The sudden impact on people is enough to make the brain shake.

After the flight, countless inspirations flashed through the old man's mind, and his eyes flashed with blazing light at this moment.

A conjecture, a conjecture that would never have appeared in his mind, came up involuntarily at this moment.

And because of this conjecture, his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Zheng He!"

"Zheng He!"

"Western Ocean!"

Mumbling to himself, the old man looked a little crazy.

(Historical knowledge: the general map of the whole world, this map can be traced back to the beginning of the 15th century, and even subverted Europeans' cognition of discovering the New World)
