"Constantinople! Still a princess! ”

Xu Jingchang was shocked, this is the famous princess in purple!

As we all know, in that part of Europe, the title of emperor has something to do with Rome.

For example, the first Rome, the second Rome, the Eastern Rome...... It seems that decades later, after the fall of Constantinople, the princess married the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and then there was a tsar, and the original meaning of the tsar was also the emperor of the Romans, the so-called Third Rome.

And then there's the thing that is neither sacred, nor Roman, nor imperial...... The monarch is also called the emperor.

As for the emperor, it also forced Habsburg to abandon the HRE emperor, and he himself was crowned emperor.

The only exception is the ...... In order not to suffer losses in dealing with other countries, they looked at a large circle, and they could not catch any of the crowns of Europe, so they were simply crowned emperors of India.

The Roman Empire had an inland lake in the Mediterranean, and we also had a larger inner lake in the United Kingdom...... Indian Ocean!

Therefore, the sun never sets on the belt of India, and without India it is a kingdom, except for the country of weeping, no one can live anymore.

If a few decades before the loss of Constantinople, the princess in purple was brought to Daming in advance, in this way, Daming also had a strong claim.

The crown of the Roman Emperor can also remain in the Ming Dynasty.

The value of this thing is immeasurable!

Although this bastard boy is unreliable, he always doesn't forget to come back with some good things, and he is quite promising.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingchang couldn't help but say: "Since you are a princess, you have to take good care of it, especially to remind your mother, it is not easy for people to come from afar, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily life must be taken into account." Whatever the request, we will do our best to meet it. ”

Hearing what his father said, Xu Xianzhong's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at his father vigilantly, "Do you always have any ghost ideas?" ”

Xu Jingchang looked at him and frowned, "What the hell is the idea?" There are friends from afar, and you don't even talk about hospitality? ”

Xu Xianzhong shook his head even more, "No, didn't you say that there are friends who come from afar, whip dozens of them, and drive them to other courtyards?" This kid leaned into Xu Jingchang's ear and said in a low voice: "You tell me the truth, are you coveting others and want to fill me in an aunt!" ”

"Fart!"

Xu Jingchang raised his foot and gave Xu Xianzhong a ruthless one.

This rabbit cub is really not big or small, although your father has a lot of hobbies, but he has never had a reputation for being lustful, and obviously this little princess is not as big as your boy.

Even if you have crooked thoughts, you hit it, after all, you got it back.

How can I press it on my head?

You disobedient son, unfilial son!

Xu Jingchang was furious, but Xu Xianzhong was full of words, "Dad, let me ask you something, let's Yingtian, how many princesses are there?" ”

"How much? On the side of the clan, there are only a few left by Emperor Taizu, and there are not many princesses of Emperor Taishang, but His Majesty is quite capable of giving birth, there are more than a dozen. ”

Xu Xianzhong said: "I'm talking about foreign countries. ”

"Foreign? I don't know! ”

Xu Xianzhong stretched out his slap and shook it at Xu Jingchang.

"Five?" Xu Jingchang said casually.

"It's five hundred!"

"So much?" Xu Jingchang was also taken aback. At present, there are quite a lot of foreign guests from all over the world, but Xu Jingchang is not clear about the specific extent.

But in any case, there can't be hundreds of princesses, aren't you?

"Dad, listen to me do the math for you...... The Ryukyu royal family has moved over, and there are 17 children studying in Beijing alone, including 5 women, 20 members of the Annam clan, 8 women, and more than a dozen on the Korean side...... Speaking of the Wa Kingdom, they are all over the princes, if you count the women of these princes, there are hundreds of Wa Kingdom alone! ”

Hearing his son say this, Xu Jingchang seemed to remember.

This matter was still one of his original national policies.

Because with the continuous use of troops by the Ming Dynasty, many small countries and tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

That's where a representation comes in...... Someone said that according to the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is necessary to send protons to show surrender. If you break your promise, you will slaughter your precious son first.

Qin Shi Huang used to be a proton before he succeeded to the throne, which is very sad.

Some people also put forward the opposite suggestion, in the Tang Dynasty, there were also cases of princesses marrying outside, turning the leader of the other party into the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, with this layer of in-law relationship, it can also ensure peace.

When Xu Jingchang was a political envoy, he severely criticized these two views.

Proton said, that is to turn the Ming Dynasty into Shuibo Liangshan, which is too patternless.

As for the princess's marriage, she still treats national affairs as a family trivial, which is completely unreliable.

Xu Jingchang came up with a plan that asked to submit to the tribal state and send the descendants of the nobles of the clan to come to Daming to study and study, which specifically stipulated that women must be allowed to come.

This point has really caused a lot of controversy, boys are useful, and women can also be hostages to influence national policy?

Isn't that whimsical?

Xu Jingchang scoffed at this, and he could see this distance with a little bit of a mouse's eyes.

Recruiting women to study is not easy.

At present, due to the development of textile, garment and other industries, there are many female workers...... Women's schools have also emerged, and the number of students enrolled is increasing every year.

This has formed a completely different atmosphere, in the Ming Dynasty, women can study, business, and even become officials. Every holiday, the street is full of girls with flowers.

This makes many barbarian countries unthinkable.

Although the status of women in the Mongolian tribes is also quite high, in the final analysis, it is the lack of labor, women are used as men, and men are used as livestock......

Like Da Ming, he didn't dare to dream of it.

Therefore, those women who came to Daming to study completely opened their horizons and increased their knowledge.

Most of them relied on Daming and were reluctant to go back.

And those who go back are equivalent to bringing back the elegance of the Ming Dynasty.

Any princess and lady is the best fashion vane, when they wear the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, wear treasures from the Ming Dynasty, go back to speak a Ming dialect, but also proficient in the tea ceremony, rhythm, can sing small songs, immediately received the local sought after.

If you can read the Analects, know the historical records, and be able to tell the history of China, then you are simply a living immortal.

Even those courtiers who looked at Xu Jingchang uncomfortable had to admit that Dingguo Gong's hand was too clever.

The trade volume between a place and Daming is directly proportional to the number of returned students...... Basically, the more you go back and the more thoroughly you study, the more you are eager for the commercial goods of the Ming Dynasty, and the smoother the trade between the two sides.

In turn, these princes and nobles who returned from studying in Daming, their connections in Daming have also become their capital.

With this, after going back, his status soared and his status improved rapidly.

Wealth, status, and even authority, are rising rapidly.

Even Zhu Di can see the benefits in this.

Therefore, he got a preparatory department for Liuming in Tianzhu.

Specially recruit Tianzhu international students.

And Zhu Di is also very caring, leaving a 30% quota for the low castes,

This 30% quota is not only 30% for the lower castes...... Instead, after deducting 30 percent, the remaining 70 percent is a fair test, and the lower castes can also participate.

Although it is difficult for the poor people of the lower castes to keep up with the upper class...... But there are enough of them, and history also tells us that as long as the number reaches a certain level, there will always be a few god-men who rebel against the sky.

Therefore, in Tianzhu, the entrance examination for the preparatory department of Daming study abroad has become the craziest exam, and everyone has tried their best to compete for less than one thousandth of the place.

Roll up and smoke!

This is also the reason why the princess of Eastern Rome wants to find a tutor.

If you don't work hard, you can't do it!

After Xu Jingchang figured out these things, he had to sigh, the current Ming Dynasty really has a bit of the atmosphere of all countries coming to court.

"You kid listen well, teach people carefully, care more about it, it's best to let this foreign princess take a fancy to you!" Xu Jingchang taught his son earnestly.

Xu Xianzhong rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Your old man won't have any ghost ideas, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang's face sank, "You give me some respect, for your father, this is for your good." If we can really get married, the descendants of our Xu family will be able to inherit the Roman Empire. One day, it would be a good thing for us to regain the glory of Rome and reign in the West. ”

Xu Xianzhong thought about it seriously, "I understand, you don't want to rob the old Zhu family's world, and you plan to find another way, right?" ”

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, "Anyway, I don't care, it mainly depends on what you think." ”
