In February of the fifth year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan's appointment for the next stage was officially issued.

"Johor Province Tongzhi, Governor of Tiannan, Nanyang Region Military and Political Affairs, Governor of Foreign Affairs."

The province of Johor encompasses what is later Singapore, and Johor, which is part of Malaysia.

Johor is governed in the Lion City, which is later known as Singapore.

The Tennan region included what would become Australia and New Zealand as well as the surrounding islands.

The Nanyang region is basically the Southeast Asia region of later generations.

All of these areas were located in the south-central part of the area under the rule of the present-day Ming Dynasty.

Military affairs, like the mainland, are all under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army.

After arriving in these areas, Zhu Jingyuan's work will be based on internal affairs.

However, it is still necessary to remain involved in foreign affairs.

Before the Spring Festival of Ankang five years, the affairs of Xintianfu were basically explained.

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Jingyuan's mind had already shifted.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Jingyuan did not participate in the wedding organization of Xia Er and Liu Muyu.

The relevant matters were directly handed over to Liu Muyu's family, and they were handled in full accordance with the private plan.

After receiving the notice, Zhu Jingyuan was ready to leave Xintianfu and go to Nanyang to take office.

Zhu Jingyuan's previous positions were all without predecessors and successors, and the handover work was with his former subordinates.

He summoned people from all walks of life, said goodbye to them, and told them to continue to do their jobs.

That night, Zhu Jingyuan went to Charlotte's room again to say goodbye to the American queen.

Charlotte had long known that this day was coming, and she knew that she couldn't be with Zhu Jingyuan all the time.

Now that the matter is approaching, Charlotte still can't help but be sad, grabbing Zhu Jingyuan's arm with both hands and asking:

"Honey, can we ever see each other again?"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and reassured:

"Of course we can meet, my next task has been determined, and I will be in the Lion City for the next two years.

"If you want to see me, just go to Tianzhu in the name of visiting Tianzhu, and then go to the Lion City as a private person.

"Besides, even if it's a completely private person, there's nothing wrong with it, right?"

Charlotte leaned on Zhu Jingyuan's chest:

"However, I want to stay with you forever......"

Zhu Jingyuan patted the girl's back:

"I understand your intentions, but the two of us are not ordinary people, and we can't be willful.

"You're the queen of America, and you're going to look after and lead your people.

"Moreover, we have been together, and sooner or later we will hate each other.

"Like now, we've been together for so many days, and there's nothing new about you, right?

"Most of the time we live separately, and then we meet each other from time to time, so that we can always maintain a fresh and intimate feeling,"

Charlotte was basically persuaded by Zhu Jingyuan, and at this time she raised her head to look at Zhu Jingyuan's face

"Then these days, you have to accompany me more......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

"Good good ......"

Zhu Jingyuan stayed here in Charlotte for three days, and then the two officially said goodbye.

Charlotte packed her things and returned to the United States.

Zhu Jingyuan went to find his grandfather Zhu Zhongliang.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't speak, Zhu Zhongliang knew what he was doing, and directly took the initiative to speak:

"You don't have to leave in a hurry, wait for me to pack up, let's go together......"

Zhu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted:

"Are you going back to Jingshi?"

Zhu Zhongliang bowed his head lightly:

"Yes, I've been out there for more than two years, and it's time to go back and have a look."

Zhu Jingyuan has nothing to say, the old man wants to go home to see, but he can't stop him.

Moreover, Zhu Zhongliang is seventy years old, although Zhu Jingyuan persuaded him to retire in Xintianfu at the beginning, he also felt that such an arrangement seemed very good.

But at that time, he decided to come to Xintianfu, largely because he wanted to be with his grandson.

I want to see that Zhu Jingyuan can toss new things, and I want to experience the garden planned and built by Zhu Jingyuan.

Now, he has basically understood Zhu Jingyuan's vision, and he has also experienced the amusement park planned and built by Zhu Jingyuan.

The key is that Zhu Jingyuan is also leaving the New Heavenly Mansion now, and it is no longer interesting for the old man to live here.

There is not a single child around, no matter how comfortable this new Tianfu is, it is not interesting to live.

Zhu Jingyuan could vaguely understand in his heart, so he directly agreed now and did not persuade him to stay.

When he returned, he asked his family to prepare to leave with Zhu Zhongliang's servants.

Ao Xue will also continue to follow Zhu Jingyuan to the Lion City this time.

Ao Xue came to Zhu Jingyuan to report to Zhu Jingyuan at the end of last year, and has not left again.

Because Aoxue is pregnant with a child.

Ao Xue is in her twenties, and she has personally begun to be anxious, worried that Zhu Jingyuan will lose interest in her.

Giving her a child is the best comfort.

Although Ao Xue has a special background and her current identity is also very strange, she is also Zhu Jingyuan's woman after all.

With Prince Daming's child in his belly, it is impossible to take the child to work in Taixi.

Now that the smuggling channels on the Tessie side have been fully established, they can continue to operate without Aoxue personally presiding over it.

So Ao Xue was also allowed to stay with Zhu Jingyuan.

At the very least, let's give birth to the baby.

Of course, Wang Ya and Li Shuangni also have to go along.

Wang Ya is not the oldest, but she has the most mature personality, and she is now the de facto director of Zhu Jingyuan's harem.

All aspects of things are handled in an orderly manner, and people from all walks of life have a good impression of her.

Zhu Jingyuan was actually already thinking in his heart that if he couldn't find a woman who made him feel special in the future, he would directly let Wang Ya be the queen of the food country and the princess of Daming.

Now the matter of moving, Wang Ya is also in charge and hosting, and Chunxiang assists from the side.

From Xintianfu to Nanyang and Tiannan, compared to from Dashi to Xintianfu, there are many fewer things to prepare.

The main thing is that you don't need to bring the industrial system over, you just need to bring your family to take office.

On March 20, the fifth year of Ankang, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang boarded a specially prepared passenger ship and officially set off for Nanyang.

After the fleet sailed from Xintianfu, it went all the way south, passing through the southernmost peninsula of Nanyinzhou and entering the Daming Ocean.

Then it crossed the Daming Ocean and arrived at the Baiyun Islands in the Tiannan region in early April.

The Baiyun Islands are the New Zealand of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

When the Ming exploration fleet came here, they found that the scenery of the blue sky and white clouds here was very pleasant.

So it was named Baiyun Islands, and later became Baiyun Huangzhuang.

The indigenous Maori people of the Baiyun Islands, in the world of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, they belonged to the Austronesian language family-Polynesians.

It is closely related to ethnic groups from Southeast Asia to Hawaii and most of the Pacific islands.

They arrived at the Baiyun Islands around the time of the Southern Song Dynasty and named the island "Otearova", which means the place where the white clouds flutter.

Therefore, the Baiyun Islands named by the Ming people coincide with the place names used by the local aborigines.

Because both sides got their names according to the local context.

It's a pity that the Ming people of this world don't know when these natives arrived in the Baiyun Islands.

Otherwise they would not be considered indigenous.

After all, in the habitual cognition of the Ming Dynasty, the events of the last years of the Song Dynasty were not ancient at all......

Now they are considered indigenous, but they are also fully understood.

The level of civilization of the Ming Dynasty is several eras ahead of the local aborigines.

Whether it is force, culture or system, the local natives have no room for resistance, and can only be completely assimilated.

The point is that the image difference between the Austronesians and the Ming people is far less obvious than that between them and the Taixi people.

As long as the indigenous people accept the culture and living habits of the Ming Dynasty, they will be able to integrate into it.

At least it doesn't look particularly abrupt at first glance.

At present, the total population of the Baiyun Islands is less than 500,000, of which 400,000 are pure-blooded Ming immigrants.

There are only about 100,000 indigenous people, and there are no traditional indigenous characteristics at all, except for the records in the household registration information.

Baiyun City, the capital of the Baiyun Islands, is located on the peninsula in the northwestern corner of the archipelago.

It was almost the site of Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand in later generations.

The entire Baiyun Islands are in the Great Ming Ocean Earthquake Zone, and only Baiyun City, in the far northwest, is relatively calm.

When the fleet was replenishing here, Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang met with the treasurer of Baiyun Huangzhuang.

This meeting was not just a pure reception, Zhu Jingyuan, as the trusted governor of Tiannan Prefecture, directly used the past few days to arrange the future tasks of Baiyun Huangzhuang on the spot.

Baiyun Huangzhuang was asked to learn from the plan of Xintianfu and start to implement the general education examination certificate system.

Subsequently, the general education examination certificate was used as a pass certificate, and the only remaining self-perception of the indigenous people here was gradually eradicated.

In addition, how Huangzhuang was operated before, how it will be operated in the future.

The total area of Baiyun Huangzhuang is 270,000 square kilometers, which is basically the same as the total area of the entire Nanzhili.

But there are only half a million people in total.

The environment of Baiyun Huangzhuang is very good, and the climate can also be said to be very good as far as it is suitable for human life.

But there is not enough heat here.

The maximum temperature of the year usually does not exceed 23 degrees, and only one season of grain can be grown every year, which is more suitable for pasture.

And the interior is mountainous and earthquake-like, the plain area is not particularly vast, and there is no internal market.

Therefore, although the environment here is good, it is not attractive enough to the Ming people.

Over the years, there have only been half a million immigrants.

Now, except for Baiyun City, which has a certain urban scale, the rest of the area is a vast field and forest.

Even farms and pastures are scarce.

In such a vast and sparsely populated place, there will be no major development in the future, and half of it will not have any major problems.

After replenishing Baiyun City, the fleet continued to set off, heading north along the southeast coast of the Tiannan Continent and entering the Nanyang Islands region.

Zhu Jingyuan did not go to the Tiannan Continent.

The origin of the name Tiannan is very simple, this land has reached the south of the sky, and the sun is in its north, so it is called Tiannan.

There are few things in Baiyun Huangzhuang, and even fewer things in Tiannan Continent.

Although the Tiannan Continent is adjacent to the Nanyang Islands, the aborigines of the Tiannan Continent and the indigenous people of the Daming Ocean are very far apart.

Including the Baiyun Islands, the indigenous people on the islands of the Daming Ocean were all hundreds to a few years ago who moved south from the southeast of the Shenzhou continent and gradually spread out.

However, the natives of the Tiannan Continent are people from the previous era, who came from 40,000 to 60,000 years ago.

The Ming people of this world, I don't know when they came, but I know by looking at the image that they are not my own people.

The natives of the Tiannan Continent are the Mo people.

The Ming Dynasty was able to assimilate the islanders of the South Seas, but there was no way to assimilate the Mo people, and the gap between the images of the two sides was too big.

According to the tradition left by Emperor Shizu, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to accept the Mo people.

According to Zhu Jingyuan's plan to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, there are less than one million indigenous Mo people in the Tiannan Continent, and they have been sent to the Mozhou Continent one after another in the past few years.

The current Tiannan Continent has a total area of more than 7 million square kilometers, and only more than 5 million Ming immigrants live.

Tiannan is closer to the Ming Dynasty and has such a vast area, but the scale of immigration is not large.

The reason is also because it is not suitable for farming......

As the smallest continent in the world, the pattern of Tiannan Continent is diametrically opposed to that of Nanyinzhou.

The highest mountain range in Nanyinzhou is located on the westernmost edge of the continent, which helps the entire continent to hold the water vapor from the eastern ocean, leaving the rain on the entire continent, making it the wettest continent in the world.

The main mountain range of the Tiannan Continent is located on the easternmost edge of the continent, and the mountain range blocks the water vapor at the edge of the continent, leaving only the topographic rain at the foot of the mountain, and most of the interior of the Tiannan Continent is a dry desert.

On the satellite cloud map, most of the southern Yinzhou is green, while the vast majority of the Tiannan continent is burnt yellow.

Without the continued growth and death of green plants, there is no sustainable accumulation of nutrients.

At the same time, the Tiannan continent itself is far from the edge of the plate, the geological environment is too stable, and the surface soil layer is unusually ancient.

This means that the soil on the surface of the land itself will be very poor.

Before the large-scale application of chemical fertilizers, it was difficult to develop cropping on a large scale, and it was only suitable for the development of limited animal husbandry.

Therefore, the Ming immigrants are not sensitive to this place.

Whether it is farming or grazing, North and South Yinzhou are the best choice.

Before the development and construction of Yinzhou reached a bottleneck, the interest of Ming immigrants in other regions was very limited.

Historically, the Tessie people also had a lack of interest in Australia.

It was the discovery of gold in Australia that accelerated the migration of the Tessie people, and by the time of World War II, they had accumulated a population of 7 million.

The Ming Dynasty in this world does not allow private individuals to open mines on their own.

The minerals found here can only be managed by the royal consortium, so there will be no large-scale promotion of private immigration.

If it weren't for the imperial court's early division of feudal kings here in order to control this continent and the continuous organization of official immigration, there would not be even five million people here.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are few things.

At the same time, although the Tiannan Continent is not suitable for farming, the area is really vast enough, and the immigrants here can get a lot of land, and the actual living standards of a small number of immigrants are actually not bad.

What's more, now that the indigenous people have been cleaned up, the people on the Tiannan Continent are all Ming people.

The vassal states have also been completely abolished, and only the political envoys are left in the political structure.

Except that the subordinate prefectures and counties are extremely large in area, but the population is extremely sparse, there is no difference from the mainland.

So there is nothing here that needs Zhu Jingyuan's special attention.

That's why Zhu Jianyan arranged Zhu Jingyuan to the Lion City.

The Lion City is the center of the Nanyang region, and the situation in the Nanyang region is much more complicated.

Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang's fleet sailed through the Nanyang Islands and arrived in the Lion City on April 10.
