The son-in-law of Wei Guogong's sister is the king of Qiongya County, who is in power and opposition, and is currently holding a heavy army and has his own system overseas.

Now he is married to the world-famous white pole soldiers, and it is just around the corner to get involved in Sichuan.

Xu Hongji has been in the officialdom for decades, and weighing the pros and cons has formed a conditioned reflex.

What does his nephew and son-in-law want to do like this? The Duke of Wei has been able to live for more than 200 years, and of course he understands that betting at both ends is beneficial to the family, and he will of course do his landlord's friendship in Nanjing when he gets the opportunity to befriend the king of Qiongya.

Wu Xiang is really talented, and things are done beautifully, Huang Sheng is very satisfied, and gave a lot of gifts to the two matchmakers.

At the banquet to thank the two matchmakers, Huang Sheng met Xu Youkuan, the chief butler of the Wei Mansion, who followed Wu Xiang and Zhou Kui to "Nanhua Island" again.

He introduced more than a dozen Nanzhili talents introduced by the little grandfather like a treasure, and Huang Sheng immediately rewarded Xu Youkuan with a gold pocket watch to affirm what he did.

Huang Sheng, a dozen talents who drank and feasted together, was not very good, and only one person, Huang Sheng, admired his name for a long time, of course, not in the Ming Dynasty but in later generations.

He is Xu Hongzu, that is, Xu Xiake.

Huang Sheng not only had a good conversation with several talents, but also deliberately stepped down from the main seat to toast Xu Youkuan.

Xu Youkuan is just a slave of the Duke of Wei, and the King of Qiongya County was so excited that he was at a loss, and he said that there are so many talents in Nanzhili, and the prince is so polite and virtuous, the Duke of Wei will definitely spare no effort to find it for the prince.

Xu Hongzu, who loves to travel the world, was criticized by the king of Qiongya County, and he was convinced.

Because he already knew that he couldn't talk about the world, the world was big, and there were too many places he hadn't been to overseas.

This time across the ocean made Xu Xiake appreciate the size of the world and how small he is.

At the banquet, Huang Sheng offered to buy the notes he wrote during his travels for 1,000 silver coins, and asked him to take these silver coins to settle down in the family, and then set off again to really swim all over the world, and the Huang family will buy the notes in the future.

Xu Xiake was thrilled to learn that the king of Qiongya was preparing to publish his travel notes.

Huang Sheng struck while the iron was hot and told Xu Hongzu that he was about to publish a revised book based on his notes called "Xu Xiake's Travels", and how many copies would be published in the end depended on how many notes he could write.

Writing a book is the dream of all readers, the raunchy Xu Hongzu cried, he couldn't imagine that he finally met his bosom friend after half a life, he reverently knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng hurriedly helped up this talent, told him that he was not happy to kneel in the system, and also told all the newcomers that the men in the Huang family system did not have weak legs, they did not kneel when they saw officials, and women were not allowed to bind their feet.

Words are speculative, and the king of Qiongya County does not take a shelf, and a group of talents speak freely.

Later, when they heard that the fleet of the "Huaxia Development" planned to start a round-the-world tour in the first month of next year, several of them immediately said that they would spend silver coins to buy tickets to participate in this trip.

Huang Sheng not only didn't want them to spend money, but also told Hexiang to arrange for 20 students to work part-time bodyguards and health doctors to accompany Xu Hongzu and others on a trip around the world.

Chu'er is very happy to add another son, she is not from a famous family, she is not only virtuous but also knows how to weigh them.

Knowing that the master was about to marry the white pole soldiers, Chu'er did not complain, she also started Zhang Luo as the hostess, and decided to take Ling'er to Nanjing to arrange first, and took a passenger ship north to her uncle Wei Guogong's house in early July.

Ling'er was a little sullen, because she gave birth to a daughter, in this era, mothers are more expensive than children, and no matter how many daughters are born, it is useless.

Fortunately, the old man is not partial, and his son and daughter are equally pampered, and the gifts they give are not divided between each other.

In the next few months, there were countless talents from Daming, and the number of people who were ready to participate in the world tour together was as high as more than 200.

The merchant ships and warships that went to Europe ran two round-trips, and the fleet that went to South America returned home.

Hu Jianya and Wu Youxing were full of red faces, they did not fail in their mission, found a large number of cinchona trees, they were not polite at all, collected all the tree species that could be found, dug up the trees they saw by roots and cultivated them with soil, and tried to transplant and survive.

The Han people have cinchona, and malaria, a stubborn disease, is just around the corner.

Historically, Kang Mazi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was almost killed by a pendulum, and later, due to the luck of this colonist, two Xiyi missionaries knew that cinchona cream could cure malaria. It just so happened that some of the missionaries carried the medicine in large quantities.

The final result is known to everyone, Kang Mazi did not die, and the Han people were colonized by Jiannu for more than 200 years.

Kang Mazi knew that taking Xiyi's medicine would save his life, why didn't he know to buy other people's sharp firearms and buy other people's strong ships and guns to strengthen national defense? Why don't you learn from other people's advanced knowledge?

Such a fool not only didn't learn the leading technology of Xiyi, but also burned the technology tree of the Han people, this Tunguska savage is also an emperor through the ages, it's really fucking shameless!

It was not a problem to find rubber trees and rubber tapping, but I found them on the day I came to South America, because there were colonies in the whole of South America, and the Spaniards and Portuguese controlled South America at this time.

Of course, it is easy to know the language, there is no need to find a guide, and the Spaniards have volunteered to lead the way after being paid.

The trade agreement signed by the declining Spain and Huang Sheng was the first order of the country's overseas colonization, of course, the order of the great power became the first in European countries purely pediatrics, and the declining Ming Dynasty also belonged to the ranks of the world's advanced countries in this era.

The Chinese civilization has probably maintained the first place in the world for no less than 2,000 years, but it has only become the sick man of China and East Asia that everyone despises after it has become a slave colony in modern times.

Even the little Japanese who looked up to the Chinese civilization for thousands of years dared to bully the braided country, thinking that the Japanese state was the orthodoxy of China, and the Manchu Qing was nothing more than an ignorant barbarian with a pig's tail.

There were hundreds of missionaries in Spain working in the Huang family's territory, and there was no animosity between them and the Ming Dynasty.

The Spaniards, coveted by too many rising powers, were particularly looking for powerful allies, and the Ming were undoubtedly the thighs they were willing to cling to.

They helped the Daming Voyage fleet as partners, so Huang Mingdao's trip was quite smooth, but it took too long, it took eight months.

By the time the fleet returned, a large number of rubber trees, 3,000 mature rubber trees and 10,000 saplings had been loaded.

This new species will cross the ocean to "Nanhua Island" and Hainan Island to take root, and this will certainly be successful, because this is how the rubber plantations in Southeast Asia started in history.

Trade certainly did not go unnoticed, as Huang Mingdao loaded hundreds of merchant ships with the output of the Spaniards in the South American copper mines, and more than 300 unarmed merchant ships from the Spaniards and other small countries were also hired to carry goods.

Nowadays, the sea is turbulent, and the success rate of unarmed merchant ships is getting lower and lower.
