Chapter 759: I'm Lucky to Have You
Of course, Ma Du will not tell Lao Zhu about his last place of refuge, there is no Oceania on this map, and he has not even drawn those South Ocean islands near Oceania, nor does he have the Antarctic continent.
He directed Lao Zhu's gaze to the North American continent and gave her a new name "Dongshengzhou".
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand and nodded, "This must be a treasure land, otherwise it won't be able to enter the eyes of Xuanzhong." Hehe......"
"It's really a treasure land, and the climate is similar to that of Daming. In the eastern and central parts of the continent, there are endless plains, rivers and lakes that are very suitable for planting, and the environment in the west is slightly worse, because the mountains block water vapor and cannot enter, and there is the Gobi Desert but also suitable for grazing. If there's anything bad about it, it's that there are hurricanes here, hurricanes that can blow down all the houses. ”
"The Yellow River in the Central Plains is still flooding often, a little wind is nothing, so it seems that it is indeed a treasure land." He measured it with his fingers, "It's much bigger than Daming, and there are wild people living here?" ”
"That's right, it's a savage. They are homeless and live in tribal groups, they are hospitable, and it should be very ...... to be neighbors with them Pleasant. ”
"Haha...... I went to the wild land to be neighbors with savages, and I also saw a few indigenous savages in Penghu, and I thought it was funny to think that the Xuanzhong family was wearing animal skins and feathers on their heads, and they were eating a wild thing by the campfire. ”
Belch...... Mado was speechless, because he had also thought about such a scene.
Lao Zhu rubbed his sore cheeks, "Okay! I won't make fun of you, tell me how far away it is from Daming, and it looks like it's thousands of miles! ”
"If there is a direct voyage to the past, I am afraid that it will be no less than 20,000 miles, but when the actual voyage is made, it may have to go along the ocean current, and the distance will only be farther. Even if you use a steamer, it will take two months. ”
"20,000 miles, two months by boat, even the Cave Heaven Blessed Land Immortal Mansion I can't afford it, I just made a wedding dress for someone."
The current Lao Zhu is much more greedy than in history, and he wants to take a bite when he sees the fat meat, but this piece of fat is too far away to control, and whoever he sends will inevitably have a heart of disobedience.
Ma Du immediately proposed: "Your Majesty is not afraid to send your own prince to divide the past, no matter what, the surname is Zhu." ”
Lao Zhu said disdainfully: "Although I have many sons, I can still afford to raise them, and I really can't do anything to keep them away from Huaxia and Fanbang barbarians." Otherwise, others will scold me for being unkind after scolding me, why don't you send your little gelding there. ”
It's just kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and when your children and grandchildren eat up the finances of the Ming Dynasty and can't even get the money to pass on the holy decree, don't lift the coffin board in the filial piety tomb.
"There is only a narrow land connection between Nanshengzhou and Dongshengzhou, and the situation is similar between the two, sweet potatoes and peppers are produced here, there is also a crop called corn that is also a very productive grain, and there is a cinchona tree that can extract a good medicine for malaria, with this medicine, the whole of Nanyang can be included in the territory."
"You didn't take it back when you went before, what's the use of saying it now? Besides, what do I want Nanyang to do, it's not that Meng Yuan hasn't conquered Nanyang, but can he keep it? Ruthless military will only make the country lose faster, Nanyang has advantages here, I will not hesitate to take a handful to strengthen the Ming Dynasty, let the court spend financial resources and energy to educate the savages, forget it. ”
Ma Du can understand Lao Zhu's mentality, after all, with Zhuyu in hand, who cares about fish eyes, it's not bad if others don't come to rob him. Lao Zhu is not interested, Ma Du can be used to share with more people and set off the Age of Discovery.
"It's getting late, I'm going back." Lao Zhu unceremoniously folded the map on the bed and clipped it under his armpit, "I took this thing, you can draw another one yourself." ”
The two went out of the bedroom, and Ma Du asked the maid to invite Ma Dajia, but the maid reported that Ma Dajia would not return to the navy yamen, and he would have a night talk with Song Shuang tonight. You don't have to guess to know that she's going to ask Madu to take her to Mahon tomorrow.
"That's it, the queen is also bored in the yamen, just leave her here, I will go back. By the way, I heard Yang Shuping say that she had a distress at your place yesterday, but she didn't have this problem before. ”
"At this age, it is inevitable that there will be some problems with the body, but I have cured my mother."
Lao Zhu smiled and nodded: "There is Xuanzhong, I can rest assured and go." ”
Madu returned to the hall and had dinner with his family, and did not disperse until the end of the day, and went to rest separately.
Ma Dajia wanted to sleep with Song Shuanglu'er, and Ma Du was naturally kicked out of the bedroom and arranged him next door to Changmao and Dayu'er.
Listening to the movement next door, Ma Du really admired Chang Mao, tossing for half a day during the day, and being able to toss for half a night with the strength of wine at night.
Waiting for the two of them to live in peace, Ma Du couldn't sleep, and a tent was set up on the thin blanket, and Song Shuang's hard work was not in vain, but unfortunately she was not by her side now.
Wu Zhina and Bi Lin slept together, as for Xu Xiaopei, she would not help Ma Du solve the problem, she would only take the opportunity to tease him, and Lu'er would go to serve the old master tonight.
Fortunately, this is not a problem for the surgeon, he has his own solution, after half a burnt of incense, he let out a sigh of relief, and said to the sticky right hand that was already a little sore, "Fortunately with you!" ”
After a sound night's sleep, he got up from the bed when the day was bright, and Lu'er came to serve him to wash, and heard her say that Ma Dajia had not slept all night, and had made a dress in the first half of the night, and got up before dawn to make pancakes.
Hearing her say this, Ma Du couldn't help but express deep sympathy for Ma Dajia. In order to let my father eat a bite of hometown food, I have made it three times, and it has not been delivered to my father's mouth.
As soon as I arrived in the hall, I heard the old loach beckoning, "Come on, come on, let's see what delicious food Niangniang has made for you." ”
"Of course it's a pancake, it was sent by my mother yesterday, but you all ate it, and no one can rob me today...... Chang Mao! Madu knocked off his hand that was reaching for the basket, wrapped it in a covercloth, and slipped it into his arms.
"Look at you stingy, the mother didn't say anything."
"Where is so much nonsense, give me the seat when you are full."
Chang Mao got up and said to the horse: "Weichen retreats, and then prepare the carriage and horse guards." ”
Ma Dajia nodded, "Don't make a big show, just let the guards go with you in casual clothes, don't disturb the business on the street." ”
Ma Du hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Song Shuang said: "Penghu's things are cheap and complete, Niangniang wants to go to the street with us to buy, Niangniang said that our guards are blind and blind on the street, so they will be accompanied by their own soldiers." ”
"Oh, I'll go back too, just to help you settle the score, don't give the profiteers a pit, hurry up and eat."
Ma Du immediately understood that this was Ma Dajia's plan to get out, where did Chang Mao's personal soldiers recognize Ma Dajia, and when they arrived on the street, a group of women and maids were in and out of the shops, and they were immediately dazzled.
Madu led Madazu out of the back door of a shop, and then walked down the uninhabited alley to Mahon's house.
Ma Dajia suddenly asked, "Have you negotiated with Your Majesty?" ”
"Well, it's been discussed, Your Majesty gave me the Penghu fiefdom, and gave me a thousand soldiers to open up a foothold in Nanyang, which can be regarded as giving my little brother a way back." Ma Du stopped and said, "Brother didn't say goodbye before, and asked Sister Ah to punish him." ”
Ma Dajia said: "Life is free, but life is full of shackles, you are a free person, what is wrong with yearning for freedom!" ”
Freedom is almost a derogatory term in this era, the country slacker is free, and the green skin on the street is free. On the contrary, the standard for measuring an excellent person is the rules and the system.
Ma Du picked his ears, he couldn't believe that this would be what Ma Dajia said when he opened and closed his mouth to talk about the rules? It seems to be the words of a modern European philosopher.
Suddenly seeing the doting look in Ma Dajia's eyes, Ma Du instantly understood, "Thank you Sister for your love." ”
Ma Dajia smiled and said: "Brother don't worry, as long as I live, Your Majesty will be healthy, and you will always be safe." ”
Ma Du was about to ask if this had anything to do with Lao Zhu's health, when he heard a footstep coming towards this side, the footsteps were symmetrical and fast, but the sound was very small, he was a practitioner!
Ma Du hurriedly made a silent movement on Ma Dajiao, pulled her to hide in the corner, and just pulled out the fire gun from his waist when he saw a figure around the corner and bumped into it!
