Five days later, after contemplation on the sickbed, coupled with the persuasion of his confidant Manuel and his beloved queen, and his own understanding of Ferdinand's temper, Carlos IV, who had always been soft-eared, made the wisest decision with great difficulty to amend the law of succession. The eldest daughter, that is, Liang Pengfei's mother-in-law, the eldest princess of Spain, Carlotta. Joakina became the first in line to the throne.

In addition, the exchange of the colonies of North America in the New World, which had no development value, but which had been invaded and occupied by the United States of America, and the Isthmus of Panama, which was part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada, for a large amount of land, swaying gold and silver, and a share of trade with the East, was definitely a bargain for the Spanish government.

Spain agreed that San Diego, Black West Gali, El Paso, San Antonio, and New Orleans were Spanish colonies to the south, while the northern colonies that originally belonged to Spain and the Isthmus of Panama were all sold to Liang Pengfei.

Even those colonies that had been forcibly occupied by the United States of America, Liang Pengfei did not accidentally pay money to buy them, not for the sake of farewell, but in order to be able to justifiably attack and stifle the expansion of the United States of America.

In addition to paying a staggering amount of gold and silver, and increasing Spain's share of trade in the East, the two countries also needed to sign an offensive and defensive alliance, and in the New World, if either colony was invaded by a third power, the other side had the responsibility and obligation to help the invaded party fight against the invader, which was actually aimed at the United States of America, which was full of expansion ambitions.

In addition, Liang Pengfei also spent a lot of gold to buy battleships from Spain, recruit shipbuilders and designers, and other people. For Spain, which had lost its glory as the first colonial power, these staggering amounts of wealth not only brought them wealth and luxury, but also allowed Spain to expand its armaments.

Therefore, the Madrid Treaty was signed with little difficulty, but Liang Pengfei purchased five of the ten third-class battleships that Liang Pengfei requested, but in addition to these four third-class battleships, about thirty-five large sailing ships were also purchased from countries such as Spain and Portugal, and about fifteen large sailing ships were purchased from France and Venice in Italy.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Add to this the fifteen large galleons extorted from the British, which were purchased at cost price, and twenty-one large galleons and two third-class battleships from the Dutch, enough to form an outrageously exaggerated fleet.

However, for the sake of safety, these ships will only pay the balance after they arrive at their destination, that is, the east coast of India.

In order to be able to smoothly carry out the Chinese migration plan, Liang Pengfei had already spent a lot of money in the East to loot almost all the large and giant three-masted galleons from the hands of those Western merchants. Otherwise, with those ships in Liang Pengfei's hands, it would be too difficult to maintain the ocean-going colonial routes.

And the large amount of gold mined by Liang Pengfei on those islands in the South China Sea was used to pay for the trade between these colonies and ships, and the vault that had existed for several years almost had to give away the last copper plate.

However, Liang Pengfei is not afraid, because a large amount of gold and silver will still be dug out of the mine every day, and if this gold is accumulated and not circulated, it is just a pile of precious metals.

At this stage, we can spend gold and silver to buy these colonies needed by Liang Pengfei and the Chinese nation, as well as the ships needed to open up ocean routes, as well as the science and technology, inventions, and mechanical improvements developed by the West through hundreds of years of precipitation, as well as a large number of scholars, all of which are urgently needed by the Chinese nation, which has completely lagged behind in these aspects, to catch up with the West.

Even if all the gold in the entire South Seas is dug up and exchanged for those, Liang Pengfei feels that it is worth it. As long as through these, the Chinese nation has enough time and space and enough resources to develop and cultivate the next generation, then the hundreds of years of suffering of the Chinese nation in another time and space where Liang Pengfei once lived will no longer appear.

"Poverty cannot be poor education, and suffering cannot be difficult for children." Liang Pengfei said to Wu Bingjian in front of him. "Remember, no matter how much money you spend, you have to implement it, don't be afraid of no money, I'm afraid that our descendants are like their parents, they have no culture, no opinions, and even no thoughts, no matter how those officials and bad servants oppress them, as long as there is a way to live, they don't even know how to resist."

Wu Bingjian nodded: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, in the Chinese gathering areas of Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula, as well as the Ryukyus, Kyushu Peninsula and the Kingdom of Korea, we are already fully implementing the semi-compulsory education program. All school-age children and teenagers are required to enter school to read and write, and all children who enter school are covered by the school, whether it is their clothing, textbooks, pencils, or even their food. ”

"In these places, this semi-compulsory education program has some obstacles, but it has won the support and gratitude of the vast majority of the people."

"This is not enough, senior students, in addition to the normal curriculum, every time we issue a new decree related to people's livelihood, we have to let teachers communicate with students, let students understand, and they inform their parents, which is not only to train them to understand the essence of participating in politics, but also to give them a sense of national ownership." Liang Pengfei's words made everyone present listen attentively, and the personal secretary Xiao Si Dangdong was there to record Liang Pengfei's every word quickly.

During this time, Liang Pengfei, who had been staying in Guangzhou, was very bored, and it would be strange for a person who liked to kick and jump around the world alive in his previous life or in this life if he was quiet, but Liang Pengfei, who had sent his family away, had to stay temporarily.

Liang Pengfei's parents have left Guangzhou and went to live in Hong Kong, and Shi Xianggu, who was pregnant for the second time, also left Guangzhou under Liang Pengfei's persuasion, and Maria had to reluctantly leave Liang Pengfei's side because she had to take care of the two children.

From the outside, the Liang Mansion is still no different from the past, every few days, Pan Bingjie will take that Wang Shuxiang out for a while, go to the Thirteen Hang Street, or go to the women's academy outside the city to stroll.

Of course, by their side, there are at least thirty or so Liang Pengfei's personal soldiers to protect them. Anyway, it's his wife, and he can send as many people as he likes to protect him.

Pan Bingjie's appearance is to announce to some people with ulterior motives that Liang Pengfei's family has been in Guangzhou. And the figure of Wang Shuxiang also made the Guangzhou general Fuchang unable to find an excuse to provoke.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

However, it is not a matter of being idle in Guangzhou all day long to tease his wife, so during this period of time, Liang Pengfei also took advantage of this time to think about the shortcomings of the road he has been taking and think about the future of the country.

But at this time, Liang Pengfei always feels that letting people like him think about the future of a country is indeed a kind of ironic feeling, although he is a traverser, compared to everyone at this time, there is more cognition of the historical development situation, it can be said that he is in this era, is the most far-sighted, the most far-sighted great man, but Liang Pengfei has to admit that in many aspects of affairs handling, his own traverser, even does not do as much as the elite of this era.

"What I am good at should be what Liu Bang is good at." Liang Pengfei, a hooligan, has made a very pertinent position for himself, but since he is a traverser, he is naturally stronger than Liu Bang, at least, in terms of guiding the opinions of the surname, in terms of big decisions, Liang Pengfei can make his subordinates willingly and unconditionally obey his whimsical ideas one by one that day.

Because, after getting along for a long time, these capable people and wise men of this era already understand Liang Pengfei's inexplicable and even speechless decisions, but when the answers were revealed one by one, everyone saw Liang Pengfei's extraordinary vision.

If you look at the current Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, which had been very plain and stable since Natokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa Shogunate, is now just a few years old, and it is almost back to the Warring States period two hundred years ago.

Under the bewitchment of the Tang Dynasty monk, Emperor Guangge finally realized that if he continued to stay in Kyoto, he would only be able to live by the snort of the Tokugawa family for the rest of his life, and if he was slightly unsatisfactory, he would probably burp gloriously like the previous emperors who died suddenly.

The lords of the Wa Kingdom, for the appearance of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the incomparable combat effectiveness of the army of the Huaxia Celestial Empire, and their incomparably huge warships and cannons, not only gave them a deep shock, but also made them awe from the bottom of their hearts, and even bowed to them.

And the Satsuma Domain, the powerful feudal clan that Tokugawa Ieyasu was afraid of, was destroyed by the army of the Huaxia Celestial Empire in less than a day, and since then, the island of Kyushu, which was invaded and swallowed by the Chinese forces, was promoted by Liang Pengfei's black hand, and those feudal lords who were in the barren eastern part of Honshu Island were united by the Satsuma Domain, which had become a pawn in Liang Pengfei's hands, and with the help of those dark chess pieces left by Liang Pengfei, Emperor Guangge and his wife together with their children, Quietly left the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and fled to Osaka under the cover of a large number of soldiers and samurai disguised as ronins who were lying in ambush outside the castle of Kyoto.
