Chapter 34 The Development of the Great Song Dynasty
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the implementation of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly much simpler, and the total population of the Great Song Dynasty at the moment is only tens of thousands, and there are even fewer children.
It cost almost nothing, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie only opened five schools in Xinfeng and selected more than 100 tutors.
As for the food.
The main reason for staying here is that Da Song found that the port here is located, the number of marine fish is beyond imagination, and food is not a problem at all.
In addition, the Great Song Dynasty has also been cultivated, and the fertile land here is even comparable to the fertile land in the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be expected that there will be a bumper harvest next.
In this case, it is not a problem to provide food to the school.
It's just obvious that for Da Song, there is still an imminent problem.
That's the population.
That's right, it's the population, and now the total number of people who arrived in the Americas in the entire Great Song Dynasty is only 123,425.
In particular, tens of thousands of people are palace dependents, eunuchs, and palace maids.
It is clear that such a small number of people cannot support a system, let alone a country.
Even if Lu Xiufu has ordered the release of the palace maid and let the palace maid and the guards start to combine, if you want to develop, it will take more than ten years.
It was clearly too late.
"Lord Lu, why don't I take people back to the Great Song Dynasty directly and transport a group of people over!"
Zhang Shijie couldn't help but speak.
"I'm afraid this won't work, our sea ship is seriously damaged now, and it may be difficult to go back."
Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly.
Returning to bring people with them was undoubtedly the best outcome, but the problem was that although they had crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach the Americas, the ship was already extremely damaged.
If you continue to sail, I am afraid that the sea ship may not reach the Great Song Dynasty, and it will have to be sunk.
Although the rebuilding has already begun.
But shipbuilding is not an overnight thing, it can take years, even more than ten years, and the daylily will be cold by then.
"This!"
Hearing Lu Xiufu's words, Zhang Shijie opened his mouth and didn't know how to speak.
Without sea ships, it is obviously impossible to bring people back to the Great Song Dynasty.
If you don't go back to the Great Song Dynasty, where will they go to find the population.
"Let Your Majesty ask and see if that gentleman has a solution."
After a moment of silence, Lu Xiufu spoke softly, and at this moment he couldn't help but think of the magical existence in the mind of His Majesty the Emperor.
It was precisely because of that miraculous existence that they escaped death and had the possibility of starting again.
Stuck in a predicament at the moment, Lu Xiufu couldn't help but think about it again.
"The gentleman?"
Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded.
Soon Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie found Zhao Yu.
Hearing Lu Xiufu's words, Zhao Yu did not hesitate, and quickly began to ask in the group.
Emperor of the Late Song Dynasty
"@群主, sir, my Great Song Dynasty is sparsely populated, and I don't know how to solve it."
The message is out.
It's a pity that Jiang Chen was already asleep and didn't see it at all.
Instead, Zhu Di saw it.
It's just that when he saw the words of the late Song Emperor, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning.
But he quickly replied.
The two immediately entered into a conversation.
The night faded by.
XXI century.
Cape.
On the huge research ship, a famous archaeological expert and the salvage team couldn't help but fall into excitement.
In a few days, they had completely cleaned the surface of the ship, and the appearance of the huge ship undoubtedly made everyone excited.
Even if they already knew the size of this sea ship in the detection of the instrument, but the moment the sight appeared, it was the real shock.
The silence of a prehistoric beast at the bottom of the sea is almost unimaginable.
"Treasure ship, this is the treasure ship!"
"Ancient aircraft carrier!"
Some mumble, others are fanatical.
There are also people who can't help themselves.
And in this kind of emotion, the interruption is undoubtedly more rapid.
Soon, on the treasure ship, one by one the supplies were salvaged.
Most of them have decayed, but there are also some that have not decayed, such as porcelain.
There are more porcelain than expected, and it has been salvaged for a whole week, and the porcelain in the treasure ship has not been completely salvaged.
It's hard to imagine how much porcelain was shipped here.
In addition to porcelain, there are also weapons and armor, and the number of them is more than 3,000 pieces, even if they are corroded by the seawater, they can already feel the fighting spirit on them.
This made the excitement of the archaeologists and the salvage team even more intense.
And this excitement undoubtedly reached a peak when a treasure chest was found in one of the hatches of the treasure ship.
Because when the chest is opened, it's a map.
"This, this is?"
On the research ship, an old man held a map drawn by the fur of the unknown animal in front of him, and his whole body trembled.
The pupils were stunned, and there was disbelief.
Because at this moment, the map depicted on the fur of an unknown animal not only has a complete map of Zheng He's voyage to the West, but also Europe and even the Americas.
That's right, there is a picture of the Americas on this map.
Even if it's not very clear, it's just a rough copy.
However, even this gave everyone a huge shock.
Let's not talk about Europe.
Americas alone.
This is the Americas.
As we all know, the Americas were on August 3, 1492, Columbus was ordered by the Spanish rulers Isabra and Ferdinand, carrying the books of the Oriental monarchs, leading 3 ships and 90 sailors, sailing from the port of Barros, crossing the Atlantic, arriving in the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti and other places, and then sailing west three times to Jamaica, the Puerto Rico Islands and the coastal areas of the Central American and South American continents.
Only then did the great geographical discovery take place.
Even if subsequent historical records show that there were people who set foot in the Americas before the discovery of Europe, they were all Europeans.
And this time is definitely not likely to be the Yongle period.
But what they see now.
On top of the treasure ship, a map of the Americas was found, nay, perhaps more accurately, a map of the world.
A map of the world that simply cannot be seen on a treasure ship.
The impact of this sudden is enough to make the brain swing.
After the swing, countless flashes of spiritual light flashed in the old man's mind, and a blazing light flashed above his eyes at this moment.
A conjecture, a conjecture that he would never have appeared in his mind at this moment, involuntarily popped up at this moment.
And it was precisely because of this conjecture that his whole body trembled with excitement because of this.
"Zheng He!"
"Zheng He!"
"Western!"
Muttering to himself, the old man's expression was a little crazy.
(Historical trivia: The General Map of the World, a map that dates back to the early 15th century, even subverted the Europeans' perception of the discovery of the New World)
