Forced marriage, a privilege that only parents have, has spread to subordinates to their superiors in the evil feudal society, and whether the boss has children or not is very important to a political system.

Ordinary people, whether you get married or not, whether you have children or not is your personal freedom, but in a regime, this is a big deal, and this involves the issue of heirs.

Without an heir, the polity can easily collapse.

Take Lantian as an example, the reason why Lantian is thriving now is because of the existence of Li Chaosheng, if Li Chaosheng is born and dies and has not left an heir, then who can take up the responsibility of Lantian, you let Li Chaolong inherit, and there are not a few Wenchen generals under his command who are not convinced, maybe it will cause turmoil in Lantian.

And after Li Chaolong comes up, will he resolutely implement some of Li Chaosheng's policies?

Not necessarily, for example, the matter of universal education, this matter is a thankless thing in the eyes of many ministers, although Li Chaosheng said it very clearly, but many people think that if they do not open the wisdom of the people, they will rule more easily.

Yuan Shikai was also restored, sometimes the power will make a person lost, and even make a person make a wrong decision, so he will give Qianlong a reason that he is unwilling to let foreign advanced technology enter China.

But it's different if there is an heir, if Li Chaosheng has an accident, these old Li Chaosheng teams will also support the young master on Li Chaosheng's benevolent face, so that Li Chaosheng's political system will not have too many accidents, and the officials can check and balance each other, then the situation will be much better.

Therefore, an heir is an important indicator of whether a regime can be sustained.

"County Zun, we can't delay any longer, our Lantian already has such a scale, it should be an heir."

"Yes, county honor, if our Lantian is just a county land, but now that we have occupied nearly half of the guanzhong, how can the county lord have no heirs!"

"The county can't be delayed."

A group of people persuaded Li Chaosheng, and finally Li Chaolong came over and said, "Chaosheng." ”

As soon as Li Chaolong said this, everyone immediately shut up and looked at Li Chaolong, Li Chaosheng also looked at Li Chaolong, Li Chaolong looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "Chaosheng, I will talk to you now as the elder brother of the old Li family, your wedding must be put on the agenda, if you still don't listen, I can only go back and let my father come to tell you in person." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the coercive and seductive people in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Aren't you going to get married?" As for it? Okay, you can arrange it. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then followed Qi Qi and bowed his hand to Li Chaosheng: "Then the county respect, we have taken our leave." ”

Guo Bao and a group of people turned to leave, and when they got out of the house, several people looked at each other, Guo Bao smiled: "I thought that the county respected it and refused, but fortunately not." ”

Li Chaolong said: "Now our heart has settled down, but Guo Bao, the wife of our county lord can't be a lake, we must choose carefully, and it must be in line with our county honor's mind." ”

"Don't worry, as long as the news that our county is going to choose a wife, there is no one in the world who will not be moved."

Hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "Then you should also pay attention, don't get mixed into spies." ”

Hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Don't worry, I will check out the eight generations of the ancestors of all the selected people." ”

Hearing this, everyone was relieved, and turned their heads to study what kind of daughter-in-law to find for the county honor.

In the office, Li Chaosheng looked at the Lantian ministers who walked away, and said with a wry smile: "What is this called?" ”

As soon as Li Chaosheng finished saying this, Gu Zi's expression on the side was a little strange and said, "County Zun." ”

"Huh?"

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi hesitated and said, "It's okay." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "What are you still hiding with me?" Say. ”

"Yes, the county still remembers Song Sanniang."

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the woman who used to be, Song Ying and Song Sanniang.

"Remember, how do you know about her?"

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi said: "I don't know, but I think the county zun once had a relationship with her, do you also notify her about the county zun's wedding?" ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "No one can find it, tell her the news there, alas~"

"That county has been unmarried for so many years, but it's because you're waiting for her?"

Gu Zi asked tentatively, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi strangely and said, "Why haven't you been married for so many years, don't you know?" The Tiantian County Office is with you big men, and there are still piles of official business to deal with, does Lao Tzu have time to fall in love? ”

Li Chaosheng shook his head and covered his face, Gu Zi looked aggrieved, blame me, I didn't marry a relative, okay.

The reason why Li Chaosheng is not married is that the first aspect is indeed that he is too busy with official business, and he has a lot of things waiting to be dealt with every day, how can he waste his effort on falling in love.

The second is that Li Chaosheng forgot that he still had rights in his hands, and he could also 'abuse his private rights' to find a partner for himself, I have to say that the feudal society is very good.

In addition, Li Chaosheng was affected by modern thought, thinking that he was only in his twenties, so he was in a hurry to get married, and he would talk about it at the age of thirty, so he didn't care too much.

In this way, Li Chaosheng has been delayed until now.

In addition, the right thing is indeed more charming than women, and people in power have far less love for women than ordinary people, which is the experience that Li Chaosheng has summed up over the years.

"By the way, Guzi, has Li Chaoshui set sail?"

Li Chaosheng put down his preparations for the wedding first, and now there are a bunch of things waiting for him, Gu Zi heard this and said: "Yesterday's voyage from Guangdong Port, taking a large modified warship of 800 materials, the original form of the ship modification is Zheng He's ship when he went to the West, 24 zhang long, 9 zhang and 10 feet wide, its ship carries 24 artillery pieces made by Lantian, carries 300 people of Lantian training precision navy, a total of two warships of the same type are launched, the target is the Nanyang area, open up maritime trade routes for Lantian. “

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi when he heard this: "It's still too small to take the boat, have you found the blueprint of the treasure ship that Zheng He used back then?" ”

Gu Zi said: "No, the Fujian Quanzhou Ship Division Jiajing, which stored Zheng He's battleship drawings that year, suffered a fire in the 20th year, and the treasure ship drawings stored there were burned. ”

"However, I heard that the Fujian Quanzhou Shipbuilding Division still retains the manufacturing drawings and manufacturing technology of the horse boat, but it is Zheng Zhilong's territory, and our people can't penetrate it."

"Zheng Zhilong."

Li Chaosheng narrowed his eyes and muttered, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean with a total of five types of ships, from the largest two-thousand-material giant ship treasure ship to the smallest five-hundred-material small boat warship.

The largest of them is the treasure ship, 44 zhang 4 feet long, 18 zhang wide, converted into the current size is 151 meters long, 61 meters wide, more than 20 meters high, the whole ship has four layers, there are nine masts on the ship, 12 sails can be hung, the anchor weighs several thousand catties, if you want to start this ship, you need more than 200 people to operate at the same time, to start, a ship can accommodate thousands of people.

The second is the horse boat, which is said to be used to transport war horses, the horse is 37 zhang long and 15 zhang wide, the third is called the grain ship, which is used to transport grain, the grain ship is 28 zhang long and 12 zhang wide, and the fourth is to take a boat, that is, Li Chaoshui's warship modified during this voyage, the length of the ship is 24 zhang, and the width is 9 zhang and 4 feet.

The smallest was a small warship, eighteen feet long and six feet eight feet wide.

At present, Lantian buys through the Guangzhou Xinhui Dongguan Shipbuilding Division, this shipbuilding division is about to go out of business, when Lantian found out, there are more than a dozen old shipwrights left, when they learn that Lantian is going to come to shipbuilding, these old shipwrights are happy, and they will do it for Lantian as long as they are full.

In this way, with the support of Lantian, this ship division was reluctantly opened, and Lantian remodeled it, and sent a regiment of troops to protect it, and it took more than a year to build two qualified small warships that could go to sea and go to sea.

In fact, Li Chaosheng was originally going to build ships in the shipyards in Fujian or Shandong, but in the end he denied this idea, mainly because the shipbuilding industry in these two places was monopolized, and the Shandong Shipbuilding Division was managed by the Dengzhou Naval Division.

Li Chaosheng is building a ship here, and the risk of being detained is very great, so Li Chaosheng didn't want to work hard for a long time to make a wedding dress.

So the Shandong Shipbuilding Division directly skipped it, and then the Fujian Shipbuilding Division, not to mention it, Fujian is Zheng Zhilong's territory, and the warships are built on the territory of this big pirate, so don't you wait to be cleaned up?

So looking around, Lantian found the Guangzhou Xinhui Dongguan Shipbuilding Division, as for why it is so miserable here, the reason is also very simple, the sea ban.

Shandong Shipbuilding Division can support it, that is because Shandong has Dengzhou Naval Division, why can Fujian Shipbuilding Division support it, because there is a big pirate Zheng Zhilong. Of course, now Zheng Zhilong is the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and he is a member of the imperial court of two or eight hundred, but he is not a pirate.

The Guangdong Shipbuilding Division, first, has no backstage, and second, there is no support from maritime businessmen, and the reason why there are still a few cats and dogs left depends on receiving some orders for fishing boats, and it is precisely because of this decay that Li Chaosheng can pick up a big bargain.

Li Chaosheng looked at the relevant information found by Gu Zi, turned his head to Gu Zi and said, "How much do we invest in this shipyard?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said with a bitter face: "Not less than one million taels." ”

Li Chaosheng twitched the corners of his mouth, sure enough, the voyage is a gold-swallowing beast, if he doesn't have enough financial resources, he won't dare to test it, Zhu Di used the money he snatched back from Mongolia and threw it into Zheng He's fleet, so there was such a magnificent grand occasion of Zheng He going to the West.

The seven trips to the West also hollowed out the Ming Dynasty's family foundation, and as soon as Zhu Di died, the West was put on hold, and in the end, there was even a rule like a sea ban.

However, for the sea ban, Li Chaosheng thought at first that the Ming Dynasty wanted to block the sea to prevent the flooding of the Japanese and invade the mainland, but when he came to this world, after understanding some real conditions, Li Chaosheng found that it didn't seem to be the case.

The ban on the sea was for the common people, but the wealthy merchants along the coast colluded with the government to monopolize the trade of shipping and make a fortune.

Monopoly is profiteering, not to mention monopolizing the sea.

Sugar, spices, deerskins, all kinds of commodities are all astronomical trade volumes, and this money has nothing to do with the state, all of them go to the pockets of individuals, you think about it, what a terrible thing.

The Ming Dynasty is also at the time of destruction, all kinds of national interests are greedy by officials and wealthy businessmen, and the court can only ask for money from Kuhaha.

Is this not a dead country?

Wealthy businessmen colluded with the government to conduct maritime trade, and there were no tariffs and all kinds of constraints, so the money earned was terrible.

You must know that the Eight-Nation Alliance opened the door of the Qing Dynasty with cannons for trade, if the Qing Dynasty was honestly willing to accept the trade of the Eight-Nation Alliance, maybe people would not beat you, of course, they would definitely be squeezed by them in the end.

You must know that if you really do trade, let the goods produced by the industrial revolution flow into China, and China's local goods will be wiped out.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's sea ban prohibits ordinary people and small businessmen, but it has never banned big businessmen, and the sea ban is actually a tool for Ming officials and businessmen to grab benefits.

And today Li Chaosheng is ready to come over and intervene and get a piece of the pie.

The end of the Ming Dynasty was the beginning of the great powers to carve up the world, and it was also the most important period of time, in fact, the Ming Dynasty had fallen behind, and the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and other armed merchant ships had been on the sea.

Not to mention, the current Ryukyus, that is, the island of Taiwan, is still under the control of the Dutch red-haired ghosts, as for the Strait of Malacca, many routes in the South Seas, and now they are still under the control of the British, Arabs, and Portuguese, and now the maritime hegemony has begun, but the Ming Dynasty can't be behind this time, at least Li Chaosheng can't let his Lantian fall behind.

Li Chaosheng thought about it and approved it on the slip handed over by Gu Zi, this one, one million taels of silver was gone, and the wealth looted back from Zhangjiakou was easily spent, and Li Chaosheng didn't even cover the heat.

But every one of these money must be spent, and not a single one can be saved, Li Chaosheng looked at his empty silver treasury, and couldn't help sighing: "This silver is not enough to spend, I have to find a way to make money." ”

Li Chaosheng sat at the desk and said, "Go and call Ma Tengyun, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Finance to me, I want to have a meeting." ”

Li Chaosheng immediately held a business meeting, which lasted for two hours, and after the meeting, all the participants looked at Li Chaosheng with respect and admiration.

Because Li Chaosheng has to do a big thing, that is, to remint currency.

Li Chaosheng put forward a concept at the conference, that is, the definition of money, money, silver, is his value because he is a precious metal?

No, money is the embodiment of the people's productivity, and without the people's productivity, money has no value, so does money have to be silver?

In ancient times, shells could be used as money, the Song Dynasty had Jiaozi, Jiaozi could also be used as money, and the money of later generations was paper money, and silver was not used, so it can be concluded that silver can be replaced, and silver can be replaced, will Lantian still lack silver?
