Chapter 603: Developing the Americas (Part 2)
In the early spring of the 50th year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Cijiong, the eldest son of the emperor who had been appointed as the governor of the Americas, led a group of American development teams composed of officials, scholars, farmers and merchants, etc., to finally arrive at the eastern coast of the Americas Pacific Ocean after wandering on the sea for several months.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Cijiong has been dealing with the issue of assimilating local indigenous peoples in Africa and Asia Minor over the years. Recently, he has also focused on studying the Indians in the American resident. It can be said that he is a colonial rule expert who is relatively familiar with the customs and culture of the American people.
Looking at the endless green fields and moist air in front of him, Zhu Cijiong fell in love with this place just after landing ashore, and couldn't help but say to his subordinate Tang Zhen, who was beside him: "Mr. Tang, from now on, this vast virgin land is our own territory. Look at this scene, it is indeed much better than the deserts of the Western Regions, but there are no people or towns and villages."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Before coming, I have learned about the situation of this continent from the Ministry of War. Your Highness, I can guarantee that as long as we work hard, the prosperity here will not be inferior to Europa. Especially when crossing this section of mountains, there are five large lakes and boundless plains in the middle. It is much better than the mainland where there are many mountains and few lands in the Ming Dynasty. Now Your Majesty has spring and autumn. Although the crown prince has decided, no one can guarantee who the throne will belong in the future. Your Highness, you come to the eldest son of the emperor. You should try your best to develop this treasure land. You can get the value of Your Majesty and support the expectations of all officials and citizens."
The battle for the throne has always been an inevitable thing for the royal family. After all, in order to maximize interests, even if a prince does not have the will to fight for the throne, the group behind him wants to use the prince's tree to pursue greater interests. Now the group of the eldest son Zhu Cijiong is the same. Although Tang Zhen's words are implicit and tactful, Zhu Cijiong agreed after hearing this, saying:
"Now my third brother is the governor of England, the fourth brother is the governor of the Persian Gulf, the fifth brother is the governor of the Cape of Good Hope, the sixth brother is in Nanyang, the seventh brother has just replaced Mr. Yang as the governor of France, the eighth brother has gone to Siberia, and the ninth brother is in Australia, which are all rich or important places. They are either important officials and governors around them or fierce generals guarding the key passes. Only my elder brother has come to this barren land, separated from the mainland by a vast ocean, and the father's arrangements are also comprehensive."
Zhu Cijiong sighed and couldn't help but look back at the west side. Three years ago, his biological mother, Concubine Hui, died. He was obsessed with the largest coalfield in Siberia and did not have time to meet his mother for the last time. This became his biggest regret in his life.
"Your Highness don't have to sigh. Start everything over and build here as if nothing is better."
After Tang Zhen said this, Zhu Cijiong nodded: "Start from the beginning, start by finding a place to make a fire and sleep."
Zhu Cijiong and others, who were either wearing four bright yellow dragon robes or red robes, were stunned, because it was difficult to find a place to sleep and make a fire here.
Hundreds of elite Jinyiwei had to pull out the embroidered sword and cut down many shrubs around them to create a bonfire for Zhu Cijiong to keep warm, and other officials and scholars of the Governor's Office were busy setting up camps and cooking on the spot.
