In the Lion City, Java, the Old Port, and the Dian Kun, several key ports in the western part of the South Seas, a large number of ships that were parked and set sail again after the replenishment was completed.

After passing through the island of Golden State (Sumatra), the flotilla converged behind the Little Western Ocean.

A total of more than 600 ships of various types, including passenger ships, troop carriers, oil tankers, bulk carriers, and some warships escorting the ship, form a huge fleet that cannot be seen at a glance.

They were the first batch of immigrants, officials, army, navy, and supply and trade fleets from the Ming mainland to the Mozhou and Dashiguo regions from the Ming Dynasty.

The fleet sailed straight westward on the small western ocean, passed through the Tianzhu Peninsula, and entered the Great Food Sea (Arabian Sea) and was divided into three parts.

Some of them turned slightly southward, approaching the coastline of East Mozhou and then following the coastline southward, heading to what would become Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Part of it went north into the Red Sea, entered the Great Qin Sea through the Xihai Canal, and dispersed to several mansions of the political envoys in North Mozhou.

The last part turned north, into the Persian Gulf, and sailed to the city of quicksand, the capital of the Great Food Country.

The location of Quicksand City is almost the port of Dammam, the oil port in eastern Saudi Arabia, in a small bay on the Dashi Peninsula on the west side of Qatar and Bahrain.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the first year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan brought the palace officials, as well as his staff, guards, and maidservants to the dock to greet him.

Because my mother is here.

The largest ship in the fleet was the same type of ship as the Zhoushan Island, which Zhu Jingyuan had ridden on the Western Cape, and the Yangzhong Island, which was fully loaded with 35,000 tons.

The independent room that Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Jianfeng used at the beginning was combined into one on Yangzhong Island, as a room for the imperial concubine Liang Yunying to use alone.

Liang Yunying, as the imperial concubine, the key is as a concubine, and leaving the palace is an absolute event.

Before the Renwu Dynasty, it was also a very sensitive matter, and most of the concubines had no chance in their lives.

After arriving in the Renwu Dynasty, the control of the harem was relaxed a lot.

In addition to accompanying the emperor to travel, the concubine can also apply to go back to her parents' home alone to save her relatives, or go to other places to see her son and daughter.

Of course, they still have the approval of the emperor, and they all have special escort troops, honor guards and entourage.

These people are both protectors and supervisors, and in fact they are the same as large households.

It is impossible to allow a female dependant to run around alone.

A group of guards, officials, and entourage disembarked first, contacted the officials preparing the ceremony for the Great Food Country, and checked to confirm that the honor guards prepared on the spot met the standards.

Then Liang Yunying slowly walked down with a group of maidservants.

Chunxiang and Qiuyue in Zhu Jingyuan's room were also in the crowd behind Liang Yunying.

Zhu Jingyuan is used to living alone, but when he sees his mother, he feels a little troublesome.

According to the advance notice of the etiquette officer, bow down honestly and salute and greet.

Liang Yunying saw her son in the distance, and her eyes suddenly turned a little red.

But after all, it is in public, and now she is the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty.

Liang Yunying tried her best to correct her posture, and after watching Zhu Jingyuan salute, she followed her son to board the frame prepared by the Great Food Country and returned to Zhu Jingyuan's palace.

The other clans and officials were led by Shi Liu Zhixin, the head of the Great Food Country, and went to the pre-prepared housing to rest.

The ceremony of their formal meeting with Zhu Jingyuan will not wait until the next day.

Today is the time of the imperial concubine Liang Yunying and the other clans.

Liang Yunying entered the Great Food King's Mansion and entered the room that Zhu Jingyuan had prepared for himself.

It was only after the departure of the irrelevant personnel that they let go of their emotions a little.

Grabbing Zhu Jingyuan's hand, he said with slightly red eyes:

"It's been a whole year...... Let my mother take a good look...... I've grown a little taller......

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and stood there honestly for his mother to observe.

Hearing this question, I subconsciously replied:

"Even if you are sixteen years old during the Chinese New Year, although you still have a chance to grow up, but

I'm worried that I won't be able to grow more than 1.8 meters......

Liang Yunying was immediately amused:

"You really like tall people, you're going to be a Han general? Looking for a daughter-in-law who also needs to be tall?

"Now there are no outsiders, you tell your mother, do you like older people, or do you like tall people?"

Zhu Jingyuan and his mother did not shy away from anything, and even said with some complaints:

"The conditions I gave to my father and mother are not my personal preference for finding a wife.

"It's just because I, as a prince, have the responsibility to reproduce as soon as possible.

"Women are in their early twenties, not too thin, not too short, and have a wide pelvis.

"This is all purely from the perspective of fertility.

"As for finding a daughter-in-law, I myself follow fate, and I can only look at it when it is pleasing to the eye."

At this moment, Liang Yunying was a little stunned, and when she saw Zhu Jingyuan's request, she was a little suspicious.

Zhu Jingyuan's criterion for choosing the prince's concubine is to be able to give birth rather than his personal preference.

If he personally likes to be older, this really worries Liang Yunying.

Now that she has verified it herself, Liang Yunying is even more shocked while she is relieved.

As a prince, an eldest child who has just turned sixteen, his thinking in choosing a woman is like that of an old peasant and an old woman.

In Liang Yunying's view, this is really too sensible and mature.

However, considering Zhu Jingyuan's consistent performance, Liang Yunying was also relieved.

This baby is really different.

So Liang Yunying continued to hold her son's hand, and said secretly:

"My mother brought ten girls over, and when I see the courtiers tomorrow, I will let you see each other when the business is over."

Zhu Jingyuan's eyes widened, a little nervous and a little incomprehensible, and a little embarrassed to remind:

"Ten ...... Didn't I ask for two? The prince had a total of ten concubines......

"Besides, before the age of twenty...... I can't run out of ......."

Liang Yunying said as a matter of course:

"I know you can't run out, and you still have to take care of yourself at the age of twenty.

"I didn't say I'd let you stay, what if I brought two of them over and you couldn't look down on them?

"I'll bring ten girls and let you choose two to take over the room.

"Others can go back, or stay in the Great Food Country and become officials.

"Girls in their twenties, the smartest ones have already graduated from college, or have reached the age of practical training, so they don't need to go back to school."

Zhu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's still my mother who thinks about it, by the way, Chunxiang and Qiuyue, how did you learn at the craftsman school?"

Liang Yunying looked behind her, and the two girls, Chunxiang and Qiuyue, were standing there, looking at Zhu Jingyuan with a yearning on their faces.

When they were by Zhu Jingyuan's side, the two of them were the most relaxed.

Although Liang Yunying doesn't know how to treat them, he is much stricter than Zhu Jingyuan in terms of management.

At the same time, as the prince's personal servants, they have lost the opportunity to follow them, which makes them feel a potentially huge pressure in their hearts.

The main thing is that I am confused and apprehensive about my future.

Even if there is no one to manage them, it is difficult for them to relax.

So after a year's absence, the two girls miss Zhu Jingyuan very much.

When I saw it again, I was very excited and yearning.

But when Liang Yunying talked to Zhu Jingyuan just now, both of them honestly didn't dare to speak out.

Liang Yunying said with a smile:

"Haruka is very smart, and it took her one year to complete the content of the county-level craftsman school for two years.

"Now I have obtained the certificate of craftsman from Jiupin.

"Qiuyue, this girl is a little worse, she should still have to finish the two-year school system.

"Among the personnel arranged by the imperial court this time, there is a team of teachers from the county-level craftsman school.

"The old gentlemen of the court said, for the ordinary shift

Citizens, for their part, prefer to send their children to artisan schools rather than formal secondary schools.

"Because after graduating from the craftsman school in two years, you can get a very good salary, and it is very easy to find a job, and the primary and secondary schools are obviously much worse.

"Therefore, craftsmen's schools should also be built, even more important than ordinary primary and secondary schools.

"Autumn Moon can continue to go to school here......

Zhu Jingyuan was also very satisfied after listening to it:

"Haruka did a good job, now that I've graduated, stay with me as a full-fledged secretary."

Chunxiang's tireless efforts in the past year are to know that she can graduate early after studying early, and she can return to Zhu Jingyuan early if she graduates early.

Now that my wish has finally been fulfilled, I tried to hold back my excitement and solemnly made another blessing:

"The slave must do her best......

The autumn moon next to it was a little uncomfortable.

Although I saw Zhu Jingyuan, I still had to go to school, so Chunxiang didn't have to go.

Qiu Yue was suddenly extremely annoyed that her brain was too stupid.

Zhu Jingyuan glanced at Qiu Yue, and continued to say with a smile:

"Qiuyue, you, just like when you were in Jingshi, continue to go to school during the day and continue to serve me at night, I am still used to using the two of you, and when I graduate, I will be the same as Haruka......

Qiu Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could stay by Zhu Jingyuan's side, she would also salute immediately:

"Your Highness Xie......
