After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 177 Many specialties from the American continent!

Chapter 177 Many specialties from the American continent!
In the Golden Palace.

Look at the luck of the small country in the Western Regions in the deduction.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on the faces of all the ministers present.

"Put your own destiny in the hands of other countries?"

"I hope that the railway built by Yuguo is just for better trade?"

"Any normal person knows that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

"Even if Yu Country values merchants very much, how could it spend so many resources just to build a trade railway for them!"

"..."

These ministers thought coldly in their hearts.

If it's just for better trade for merchants.

It would be good enough to maintain the existing Silk Road.

As for building railways, if they are only for trade, the profits they can bring are far less than the expenditure on the railways!

"but."

“There’s nothing they can do.”

"I can't beat you again and again."

"And I dare not stop it in the slightest."

"Besides pinning our hopes on others, what else can we do?!"

Wang Qianhe was just thinking this.

but.

soon.

He suddenly realized.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between the current Cheng Kingdom and that small country in the Western Regions.

Because they also placed their hopes of changing Chengguo on Chen Huaixin!
They are also handing over their future to others, so what qualifications do they have to mock the small countries in the Western Regions? !
Think of this.

There was a hint of bitterness on Wang Qianhe's face.

And among the princesses was Ji Changxi.

I didn't think that far ahead.

She looked at the deduction of the Jiantian Mirror and saw that the Taoist people had returned to the land of Yu Kingdom in this last month!
This suddenly made her eyes light up!
And the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

It attracted everyone's attention!

"Is this the high-yield crop that Chen Huaixin has been thinking about?"

"I didn't expect that Taoist person would actually bring it back!"

"Judging from Chen Huaixin's previous attitude."

"They seem to be even more miraculous than the high-yield crops grown in Yu Country!"

"Chen Huaixin is so damn lucky! He can even get this thing!"

"But this is inevitable. We have spent so much effort to support Taoism in finding the Immortal Mountain in the outer sea."

"Even if we can't find them now, as long as we keep waiting, they will be brought to the homeland of Yu Country sooner or later!"

"..."

All the ministers were suddenly enlightened.

Ji Changxi stared at the two high-yield crops!
She still remembers it.

The future Chen Huaixin will invent a steam engine, and the biggest driving force behind it is these two things!
Even though she found the high-yield crops native to Yu Country, her original goal still did not disappear!

"now."

"Finally found."

"That's not what it means."

"In the future of Yu Country... no one will starve to death anymore?!"

Ji Changxi showed a bright smile on his face.

The princesses around realized this belatedly and started to get excited.

Her eyes were already looking at the thing that the old Taoist brought back, something she had never seen before!

“Being able to bring so many things together.”

"Bring it back from overseas."

"Taoism's voyage this time."

"I guess... I've encountered a lot of things!"

……

【It was not easy for Taoism to go into the sea this time.】

【Even if.】

[With the help of the steam treasure ship. ]

[The sailing speed is faster than before. 】

【"but."】

[“On the sea.”]

[“Speed is not the most important thing.”]

【“Safety comes first!”】

【The old Taoist is very clear about this.】

【Especially.】

【Last time.】

【When exploring the new world. 】

【They were nearly caught in a storm at sea. 】

[Sent to an uninhabited seabed. ]

[This made them even more cautious and careful on this voyage than before, and they did not dare to come into contact with any natural forces! ]

【but. 】

【What the Taoist priests didn’t expect was. 】

【During this voyage. 】

[The biggest trouble they encountered was not the storm on the ocean, but... the fleet from another country! ]

[“I have never thought about it.”]

[“I can actually be in the vast ocean.”]

【“We encountered a ship from another country.”】

【"and."】

【“Compared to the seagoing vessels of small Southeast Asian countries.”】

[“These fleets of other countries are obviously much stronger!”]

[The old Taoist recounts his experience.]

He knows very well.

【Meet Your Majesty.】

[This is not something that can happen all the time. ]

[So, of course, he wanted to explain the matter of going to the sea in as much detail as possible.]

【"in this way."】

【"His Majesty."】

[“Only then will you look at Taoism with a new eye!”]

[The old Taoist thought so in his heart.]

【And Chen Huaixin heard this. 】

[A hint of astonishment also appeared on his face.]

[The eldest son next to him wanted to listen quietly, but these words made him unable to help but ask.]

[“A fleet from another country? Can you tell which country it is from?”]

[“Not sure. Judging from their appearance, they look a bit like people from Rome, but they are also a little different.”]

【The old Taoist shook his head.】

[At that time, he had thought about contacting the fleets of these small countries. ]

[It's a pity that the steam treasure ship is so huge and the black smoke emitted from the chimney. ]

[The first reaction of the people from the fleets of small countries when they see them is to turn around and run. ]

[“A ship much larger than theirs, yet capable of emitting strange smoke.”]

[“Who wouldn’t think it was a monster if they encountered something like this in the ocean?”]

[Chen Huaixin is very clear about the thoughts of those people in the fleets of small countries.]

【From what the old Taoist said. 】

[This should also be the sea warships sent by the countries in the European continent that were not conquered by Rome. 】

[After all, the road leading to Dayu has been occupied by the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire. ]

[If these small countries want to develop, they can only find ways to bypass them. ]

【“The ocean is the only choice!”】

【Chen Huaixin has a new understanding of the European continent. 】

[This also made him more alert. ]

【after all.】

【Whether it is land. 】

[Still in the ocean.]

[An opponent with decent strength has appeared. 】

[If he hadn't been constantly exploring and never stopped what others thought was going on. ]

【"I am afraid."】

[“Wait until the future.”]

[“It is very likely that our country knows nothing about it.”]

[“Let’s face the fleets of the Roman Empire and the small maritime nations!”]

【Chen Huaixin felt a little more fortunate.】

[Even though he has unparalleled confidence in Yuguo's current military strength. ]

[But if it weren't for the outward expansion, whether Yuguo could maintain such a strong position in the future might still be an unknown! ]

[“The way Yuguo is now opening its doors to Southeast Asia and Japan is by using giant ships.”]

[“Maybe it will reappear in the future Yuguo!”]

【Chen Huaixin doesn't want this to happen.】

【fine. 】

【The current Yuguo. 】

【Whether it is a land army. 】

[It's still a huge ship on the sea. ]

[Its strength continues to improve. ]

[And what he needs... is to get more information! ]

[He looked towards the old Taoist priest.]

[The old Taoist continued speaking tactfully.]

[“At the very beginning.”]

[“When these small countries’ fleets encountered us, they all chose to flee.”]

[“But later, I don’t know what they were thinking. They actually planned to fight us!”]

【When the Taoist priest was speechless. 】

【If they have artillery. 】

[When the enemy can only board the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat. ]

[I don’t know if these small country fleets are looking for information or something else, but they are like flies, causing them a lot of trouble.]

[Even if their ships just rushed forward, they could completely crush the small boat, but facing a large number of small boats, they were worried that the steam treasure ship would be damaged, so they could only stop sticking to the European continent and explore another unknown route.]

【And this. 】

[Also let them discover the new world again! ]

[“This new world is not small either.”]

【"but."】

【“Compared to the previous continent.”】

[“The biggest difference between this new world and that one is that there are people living on it!”]

[The old Taoist said in a very calm voice.]

【Chen Huaixin also understood that the people they found were probably the indigenous people of the American continent! 】

[This situation did not disappoint the old Taoists, but made them happy! ]

[Especially the merchant on the ship. The presence of people on the New World means that trade can be carried out! ]

[“There is no need to send people there to cultivate the land like in the previous continent!”]

[These businessmen thought to themselves.]

[Of course they know.]

[The Yu Kingdom sent many people from small countries to the continent called Yuzhou.]

[But by the time those people have finished cultivating the land, their descendants will probably have grown old and died.]

【so. 】

【They have great expectations for this new world! 】

[“We explored that continent and traded with the local indigenous people.”]

[“Not everyone is willing to trade, which has caused us a lot of trouble.”]

【“But fortunately.”】

[“We still managed to get quite a few… things that are unique to that continent!”]

[The old Taoist didn't give a long speech. He just knew to convey the key information.]

[And the things that were brought back and that he had never seen before also made the eldest son more curious. ]

[“Father, is this the high-yield crop you were expecting?”]

[“Not only these two things, but other things… are also what I hope to obtain!”]

【Chen Huaixin's face was full of smiles.】

[Next to the potatoes and sweet potatoes.]

[There is also quinoa from South America. ]

[This kind of food that can adapt to different soils is what Yuguo needs now! ! ]

[In addition, there are corn, peanuts, and sunflowers! ]

[The oils and fats from the latter two should allow Yu Country to no longer rely solely on animal oils! ]

【"and."】

[“I didn’t expect that.”]

[“Taoism actually brought back the rubber trees!”]

[“This time…”]

[“I’m afraid Ji Changxi must be extremely happy!”]

……

In the Jinluan Palace.

Listen to the old Taoist's explanation.

Wang Qianhe's expression was very solemn.

"A small overseas country with a fleet?"

"turn out to be."

"Except Yuguo."

"Other countries are also exploring the ocean?!"

Wang Qianhe took a deep breath.

He can only be thankful now.

this matter.

It happened twenty years later!

"otherwise."

"Then you can explore small countries overseas."

"If they find out that I am Chengguo."

"I am afraid……"

"The oceans of my country will be completely lost!"

Wang Qianhe knew it very well.

Take great risks and explore the unknown ocean.

This is enough to show how ferocious these small countries are!

If they knew about this, they would know that the country that produces tea, silk and ceramics is now in a state of external and internal troubles.

Then it is really possible that they will launch an offensive against Chengguo!
"There is no need to attack Chang'an."

“It only takes coastal interference.”

"This is enough to make Chengguo difficult to deal with!"

A hint of luck flashed across Wang Qianhe's eyes.

This also made him more determined that Chengguo must develop sea vessels in the future!

It is not only for transporting silver from Japan, but also for protecting the country's oceans!
"after all."

"On land."

"Our Cheng army can at least still engage in one or two battles."

"But if there are no ships, the ocean will be given to others!"

Wang Qianhe made a decision.

Among the princesses, Ji Changxi's gaze rested on the rubber tree that Chen Huaixin specially submitted!

“It looks like a very ordinary tree.”

"why."

"He will say that my future self will probably be overjoyed?"

Ji Changxi frowned.

According to her knowledge of trees.

This kind of thing.

In addition to being used to grow fruits and allow people to taste the rare sweetness, it can also be used to burn firewood to provide people with warmth during the cold winter, or to make furniture and ships.

"Anyway."

"With the help of that wood."

"Come and make all kinds of things!"

Ji Changxi thought so.

But besides that.

She just doesn't know.

What else can trees be used for!

"Could it be."

“Does this have anything to do with my future research?”

“At that time, I was studying cars.”

"it……"

"Is it for making wheels?"

Ji Changxi was thinking.

The wheels of a carriage are made of wood.

Does the future Chen Huaixin think that the quality of wheels made from this tree brought from a distant continent will be much better than that made from other trees?
"but."

"That's not enough to make my future self happy!"

“It works.”

“It must be more than that!”

A look of anticipation appeared on Ji Changxi's face.

She really wanted to know.

These trees that come from thousands of miles away are compared to the big trees native to Yu Country.

"And what kind of role can it play?!"

……

[After finishing the conversation with the old Taoist. ]

【Chen Huaixin followed the knowledge in his mind.】

【Those rare treasures from the American continent are preserved one by one. 】

【certainly. 】

[A reward for the experienced.]

【Rewards for Taoism.】

[He is naturally not stingy at all. ]

【“Or rather.”】

[“If it was at the beginning of Dayu’s founding.”]

[“Someone presented the potatoes and sweet potatoes.”]

[“It would not be excessive to grant him a title!”]

【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】

【And now. 】

【Yuguo for potatoes and sweet potatoes. 】

[Although it is still very necessary. ]

[But it is no longer as eager as it was at the beginning of the founding of the country. ]

【But the reward given. 】

[It still shocked many people. ]

[“Taoism is really going to soar to the sky this time!”]

[“This huge reward, as a personal reward to Lao Dao, can be regarded as the most generous gift from His Majesty in recent years!”]

[“It seems that the Taoists must have brought back something extraordinary during their trip to the ocean.”]

[“But it may not be so easy for Buddhism to compete with Taoism in the future!”]

【“…”】

[These people's hearts are full of envy. ]

【But Chen Huaixin concealed the information. 】

[They don’t know either.]

【What did Taoism do this time? 】

[As for Buddhism, which is also in Chang'an City, after learning about the rewards Taoism received, Master Xinkong was so envious that his eyes turned red! ]

[“Although.”]

【“Because of the information from the Western Regions.”】

【“Because of the Roman intelligence.”】

[“Our Buddhism has also received many rewards from His Majesty.”]

[“But all these combined are not even half of what Taoism has delivered this time!”]

[“What on earth did they bring back?”]

【Master Xinkong was so jealous that he was going crazy.】

【certainly. 】

【He is still very rational. 】

[I didn’t go to inquire about this matter.]

[Otherwise, the imperial court that oversees them will probably let them know what an iron fist is! ]

[Even His Majesty is deliberately hiding the news, how dare others inquire about it! ]

【After calming down. 】

【Master Xinkong is thinking. 】

[How can we change the situation where Taoism will overwhelm Buddhism in the future! ]

[“The Western Regions and Rome alone are not enough for my Buddhism to catch up.”]

【"so."】

“That’s what we can expect.”

[“That’s the monk who went to heaven!”]

【Master Xinkong looked towards the distant west.】

[He knew very well that going to the West and returning was not so easy to do, and it was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time!]

[But now seven or eight years have passed. Even if it takes longer, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it should be back in the next few years, right?! ]

【"Accident?"】

[“There will definitely be no accidents!”]

[“He can be followed by Dayu’s cavalry!”]

【Master Xinkong knew about this. 】

[He is full of confidence in the Yu Kingdom's cavalry! ]

【only.】

【Before the monk returns. 】

[Their Buddhism can only be temporarily overshadowed by Taoism! ]

[“It’s really… frustrating!”]

……

[Jingping seventeenth year, January.]

【The New Year is here again. 】
