On the twenty-third day of the thirty-fourth year of Taiping.

This year, the last transport ship sent from the Ming mainland to the Great Food Country, and the last transport ship in the Taiping era, arrived in Quicksand City.

The two male servants arranged by Zhu Jianyan and Liang Yunying, the brothers Fuquan and Fuwang, took Liang Yunying's letter and came to Zhu Jingyuan's palace.

After seeing the familiar Zhu Jingyuan, the two brothers knelt directly on the ground:

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Madame ordered the two of us to send a letter to him, and ask His Highness to take a look."

The two handed Liang Yunying's letter to the guards who followed them.

Zhu Jingyuan already knew by telegram that his mother had written a reply letter to him, and he was not much surprised now.

Let the guards check the letters on the spot, and take two banknotes of one hundred silver bills by themselves, and reward them to the Fuquan brothers who came to run during the New Year:

"You've been floating on the sea for more than half a month, let's go to the backyard to rest for two days, and I'll call you again if you have something to ......do."

"Your Highness."

The two brothers bowed down and agreed, and left the room very carefully.

The two of them are slaves in Zhu Jianyan's family, and they are already second-generation slaves.

Their parents were both slaves of Zhu Jianyan when he was young, and they were "and men" and "and women" from the Japanese archipelago.

However, their mother is not a personal maid in the palace of the prince and grandson like Haruka, but an ordinary maid who works in the courtyard.

In general, in wealthy families, most of the maids who do chores in the yard are Burmese maids and orchids.

Zhu Jianyan, as the second son of the queen, even if he is an ordinary maid in the courtyard, he always uses a maid and a Korean maid, but the image is more ordinary.

The father of the Fuquan brothers was a manservant who did odd jobs, and the parents were assigned to marry by Zhu Jianyan after they were in their twenties, and gave birth to four children in Zhu Jianyan's family.

This family is quite grateful to Zhu Jianyan, and they can still have a relatively stable family when they become slaves, and their lives are much better than in their hometown.

In the generation of Fuquan's parents, when they became the prince's servants, they had already received comprehensive training, and basically had no hometown characteristics.

In the generation of the two Fuquan brothers, they are still slaves in terms of identity, and they still have their ancestral homes in their registration information.

The two brothers followed the housekeeper to rest.

Zhu Jingyuan's guards checked the letter and confirmed that there were no problems before handing it over to Zhu Jingyuan.

Zhu Jingyuan's eyes widened after reading a few words, what he saw a few days ago was that the rewards on those official faces were not all!

I can even ask my father for a reward in private!

Of course, Huangzhuang's dividends will not be more, but you can ask for land in a few other places.

This is the credit of his mother, if it weren't for her advice in front of her father, she might only have one share.

There is even a certain possibility that you will only be able to get the land of Crete.

Although the land does not mean much to me, I am still grateful to my beloved mother.

Regarding the land that he could directly ask for again, Zhu Jingyuan originally had an idea in his heart.

There are a few small islands next to Nagasaki and a few small islands opposite the Lion City (Singapore).

and the junction of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania......

Nagasaki and the Lion City are already very well developed, and there is no way to directly carve out a large amount of land in the region.

I want a few small islands in this kind of key area, and I can just build a few manors in the vicinity of the already prosperous area.

As for the junction of the last three countries in East Mozhou, it is actually Victoria Lake in the previous life.

With a total area of nearly 70,000 square kilometers, the largest lake in Africa and the second largest in the world, has not yet been discovered by the Ming and Taixi people.

The area around this lake is actually the most comfortable place in the eastern part of Mozhou.

The temperature is 178 degrees to 289 degrees all year round, with a historical minimum of not less than 10 degrees and a historical minimum of 36 degrees.

I'll have to find someone to investigate, record the situation, report it, and ask for it again.

This kind of uninhabited place in the eyes of the Ming and Taixi people can be obtained even if it is estimated to be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

Of course, the name of this Victoria will be changed, and it will be called Daming Lake in the future.

But these lands, for Zhu Jingyuan, are no longer the focus.

The focus is on the other things mentioned in the letter.

His mother Liang Yunying is coming to the big food country!

And it's to directly urge marriage and pregnancy!

Zhu Jingyuan has lived with his mother for more than ten years in his life, and then regained the memory of his previous life.

So the feelings for the parents in this life are still real.

It's just that the living habits and personalities of the previous life are superimposed, which leads to natural resistance to things like urging marriage.

But now I have no way to refuse.

Emperor Sejo left behind the judgment that children before the age of twenty were not strong enough, and then it was also verified by the research institute of the Tai Hospital.

However, the Ming royal family still supports the prince and grandson to find a partner to have children as soon as possible after the age of sixteen.

The purpose is very simple, to make sure that this prince and grandson can have children as soon as possible.

Although the probability of not being able to have children is very small, it is necessary to do several verifications to avoid those that are not too high.

For potential princes, fertility is very important, even extremely important.

Once it is confirmed that he was born with no fertility, then this prince and grandson will definitely have no chance to save the throne.

In most cases, a potential prince must not only be able to have children, but also not be too subfertile.

This ability can't be too low, it's not that the prince can meet the physiological needs of a woman, the prince doesn't need to think about this kind of thing.

Instead, it is relatively easy to get pregnant with one's wife and concubine, and the actual internal logic should be that the activity of germ cells is high.

Because the heir of the Ming Dynasty adopts a semi-competitive model, there is quite a strict storage training and governance training assessment.

Without a sufficient number of sons, without sons who can pass the training and training of the storage position, there is no way to ensure the ability of future generations of emperors.

If a certain prince or grandson changes several concubines in a row, and it takes several years to have a man and a woman, then there is no chance of succession.

As for the other arrangements, it is not a matter to let officials and teachers with daughters come to Dashiguo and let themselves pay for grants and hope schools.

Perhaps, in the eyes of later generations, the direction and purpose of this kind of decision-making are corrupted to the extreme.

But the current parties may not be resistant to such things.

If these personnel knew that this was to create an opportunity for their daughter to contact Zhu Jingyuan, they might even go to grab a place.

After all, Zhu Jingyuan is the second richest man in the world.

Zhu Jingyuan sighed faintly after reading his mother's letter.

I really can't shirk my identity, I can only accept this reality.

Fortunately, he is now the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and no woman can show her face.

I don't have a fear of marriage now.

Of course, you don't have to worry too much about taking care of children.

I really don't want my eldest son to be born to a orchid.

So there really is nothing wrong with the mother's arrangement.

After careful consideration, Zhu Jingyuan sent a telegram back to his mother.

In general, it means that he knows his mother's plan and accepts his mother's arrangement.

Sponsor poor students, invest in hope schools, and find your favorite girls by the way.

You can ask for two princes and concubines in advance, and you can ask the Zongren Mansion to arrange it for you, but don't look for a child of your age.

It's really dangerous to be a mother at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Of course, it is not possible to follow the so-called optimal childbearing age of around 30 years old.

First, although I don't mind that the child is a little more mature, I really can't accept an aunt who is more than ten years older than me......

Second, the best childbearing age of about 30 years old is the standard of modern society.

It is a conclusion based on the mother's learning and growth, ability and income, psychological maturity, ability to take care of children, social and medical conditions, and other factors.

Zhu Jingyuan: In this era when modern science was just beginning, the older the mother's reproductive age after adulthood, the more dangerous it became.

As a mother who is pregnant with a prince's child, she does not need to consider external factors such as economy, environment, family, etc., and does not need to consider her ability to take care of her child.

Purely considering the physical condition of the mother herself, the most suitable age is 20 years old.

Although the incidence of various diseases is not the lowest, they are in the best physical condition and have the strongest recovery ability.

It's a time when there's a higher chance of being able to persevere in the face of danger.

So Zhu Jingyuan directly asked his mother to introduce two girls around twenty years old to Zongrenfu.

You should be tall and long-legged, healthy, optimistic and cheerful, have never been sick, and be good at giving birth.

I can't raise my age directly to twenty years old, so let the child's mother be in the best condition.
