Chapter 136: Fighting for Men? The Age of Navigation? (6K) (Ch 136)

【I heard that the mother and daughter were safe. 】
【Chen Huaixin finally breathed a sigh of relief.】
【After getting permission. 】
【He enters the room.】
[I saw Ji Changxi lying on the bed, and the baby next to her. ]
【”Thanks for your hard work.”】
【Chen Huaixin stepped forward.】
【Ji Changxi shook his head.】
[She kept looking at the baby, with a rare hint of fondness in her eyes, an emotion she had never had before!]
[Ji Changluo, who was standing next to her, was even more excited. She reached out to pick up the child, but was afraid of making her niece cry, so a conflicted look appeared on her face.]
[But the maid next to him said at this time: “Your Highness Ji Changluo, you don’t have to worry. This child is very well behaved. Apart from crying a few times during the birth, he has never cried again.”]
【Hearing this.】
【Chen Huaixin even felt a hint of curiosity.】
This isn’t his first time being a parent.
[Not only Ji Changwei, but other concubines would also wait and visit outside when they gave birth.]
[The cries of those children usually last for a while, and then they probably get tired, close their eyes and fall asleep in their cradles.]
[Just now when he entered the room, he felt that something was a little strange. Now he suddenly realized that it was because Ji Changxi’s child was too quiet! ]
[“I didn’t even cry or scream.”]
[“Could it be that he has fallen asleep?”]
【Chen Huaixin looked over.】
[The child that Ji Changluo had carefully picked up was now looking around with his dark eyes, as if he was curious about everything around him! ]
[When she met his father’s gaze, she was not afraid at all and remained as quiet as ever – just like Ji Changxi on weekdays! ]
[“It seems that your daughter has the same personality as you.”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at Ji Changxi and said with a smile.】
【And Ji Changxi showed a hint of pride. 】
[“Because she will also follow my path in the future!”]
…
In the Golden Palace.
After seeing my daughter was born.
Ji Changxi’s eyes widened slightly.
It seemed as if he wanted to remember what the child looked like.
Ji Changluo, who was standing next to him, was no longer shy and whispered, “My niece is so well-behaved and cute. It will definitely be easy for me to take care of her in the future.”
“It seems that you also know that you will have to take care of my baby in the future,” Ji Changxi joked in a good mood, “but in addition to your niece, you also have to take care of your own children. Just thinking about it is very hard.”
The future Ji Changluo in the Jiantian Mirror had a slightly bigger belly. Needless to say, everyone knew who did it. It was naturally Chen Huaixin, the husband of Ji Changxi and her sixth sister Ji Changwei!
Ji Changxi didn’t think it was a big deal about two sisters marrying the same person, because she had long known that her sister’s personality was not suitable for independent living, and she even didn’t dare to stay too far away from her.
As her younger sister, she can either stay with her and spend the rest of her life together, or marry the same person so that she can help better.
“but.”
“If it’s in Chengguo.”
“Our two identities.”
“It’s impossible to marry the same person.”
“So I thought the future would be the former, but I never expected it would be the latter.”
Ji Changxi thought so in his heart.
But when Ji Changluo heard this, his face flushed with shyness.
She had mustered up the courage to speak, but then she hid behind her sister again.
However, the Sixth Princess Ji Changwei, who was standing next to them, pouted after hearing their conversation. Although Ji Changxi’s birth of a daughter had made her feel relieved, she now felt aggrieved for some reason.
“Obviously I’m the first one!”
Ji Changwei snorted softly.
While several princesses had their own thoughts.
Prime Minister Wang Qianhe, who was in the hall, saw Chen Huaixin’s arrangements for the army. The feeling that he had made a mistake for the first time became stronger and stronger!
“If he thought it was feasible, Chen Huaixin would not have picked one or two armies to try it out!”
“Because this is fundamentally different from things like business law and legal law!”
“The latter is to avoid certain hidden dangers by demonstrating first and then modifying them.”
“But if the former fails, it will be directly cancelled without any modification!”
Wang Qianhe thought so in his heart.
and.
Not just him.
Even many military generals.
It can be seen that compared with previous reforms, Chen Huaixin’s arrangement this time lacks…sufficient confidence!
“Even he can’t guarantee that this change will be effective?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen Chen Huaixin worried about his own transformation, right?”
“Sure enough, the military should be sent according to tradition, not reform!”
“Assigning a supervisor to the army, and a supervisor who lives with them in daily life, isn’t this just ridiculous!”
“But I can finally see Chen Huaixin’s first failure. I’m looking forward to it!”
“…”
These generals were discussing.
Even Ji Qingluo’s face showed a hint of regret.
Chen Huaixin, who has done nothing wrong and made no mistakes in his judgments, is his undefeated golden body finally going to be broken?
“but.”
“That’s fine.”
“At least it represents…”
“He is also a human being who can make mistakes!”
…
【March, the eleventh year of Jingping.】
[After recuperating for more than half a month. ]
[Ji Changxi returned directly to Dayu Research Institute. ]
[She handed the child over to her sister Ji Changluo to take care of, and threw herself on the improved steam engine.]
“During pregnancy.”
[“I didn’t just write about the study of things.”]
【“Thoughts on the steam engine.”】
[“Considerations on the steam engine.”]
[“I have never stopped!”]
[When Ji Changxi said this, he looked very proud. ]
【Then.】
【Her head.】
【He was slapped by Chen Huaixin. 】
[“No wonder you’re pregnant.”]
[“You didn’t even rest for four hours.”]
[“You’ve been thinking about the research institute all day long?”]
【Chen Huaixin really has nothing to say. 】
[He originally wanted to find something for Ji Changxi to do, so that she wouldn’t have to come to the research institute for pregnancy when she was pregnant.]
[But I didn’t expect that Ji Changxi not only compiled the Gewu when she was pregnant, but also conducted meditation training… No, meditation research. When she was able to go to the research institute, she immediately realized her idea? ]
[Then wouldn’t his arrangements and instructions to Ji Changxi increase her burden? ! ]
[“Aren’t you afraid that your work and rest habits will cause accidents to your child?”]
[“It turns out that my rest was fine, and my child is also very healthy.”]
[“You never mention that she is different from ordinary people, right?”]
[“Her mother has always had different ideas from ordinary people. So what if she is different from ordinary people!”]
【Ji Changxi said this with great confidence.】
【Although.】
【In theory. 】
[It is not time to leave the confinement period yet. 】
[However, due to the arguments presented by Ji Changxi, the female doctors were speechless and were forced to allow her to leave the confinement period early.]
[As for her daughter, she also followed her mother out of the ventilated house and was handed over to Ji Changluo, who had already prepared to be a wet nurse.]
[However, just as Ji Changxi said, her daughter is not only healthy, but also behaves differently from an ordinary child. She hardly cries or sleeps all day. Instead, she is full of curiosity about everything around her! ]
[“This kind of curiosity is the best talent that led me to this path!”]
【Ji Changxi is very proud. 】
[But Ji Changluo, who was in charge of taking care of her, was so exhausted that he felt numb. Every day he had to hold his niece in his arms, looking here and there, and talking non-stop.]
[Because if she doesn’t walk around and look around, the child will keep staring at her until she feels guilty! ]
【”but.”】
[“That’s good too.”]
[“My sister has always been shy and introverted, not good at communicating with others.”]
[“Now, for the sake of the child, she has to leave the yard for a long time every day to go around and have a look. Her personality has been changed by the doll!”]
【When it comes to this. 】
【Ji Changxi felt a little regretful.】
【I should have known this earlier.】
【It’s that simple.】
【You can change your sister’s personality. 】
[At least it will stop her from hiding all day. ]
[“I should have had a child with you right from the start, and then my sister’s personality would have changed earlier!”]
【Ji Changxi looked at Chen Huaixin. 】
【Chen Huaixin didn’t know what to say. 】
【When the topic turned to steam engines. 】
[Ji Changxi was even more talkative, expressing all the thoughts in her mind.]
[The most important thing is the use of the steam engine! ]
[“Wait until it’s stable enough.”]
“I’ll use it as motivation.”
[“Let’s make the first one!”]
[“Objects with steam engines as their core…will also be born in this world!”]
…
“turn out to be.”
“I just want to have a baby.”
“Can it change my sister’s personality?!”
Looking at the deduced future, Ji Changxi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She looked at her sister hiding behind her, and a bold idea came to her mind.
But after hearing this, Ji Changning frowned and said, “Fourth sister, if you want to get married, you must have the consent of His Majesty. You cannot act on your own.”
If a child is born before marriage, it will bring shame to the royal family!
Ji Changwei, who was standing next to her, said anxiously, “Fourth sister, Chen Huaixin is my future husband, you can’t snatch him from me!”
She no longer cared about being shy or not. If she didn’t say this in advance, based on her understanding, her own Fourth Princess might really snatch her away!
“after all.”
“Her brain circuits.”
“It’s different from ordinary people!”
Ji Changwei’s face was full of worry.
at the same time.
She also felt a little helpless.
She is only thirteen years old now. Even if she wants to snatch someone away, even if she appears in front of Chen Huaixin, he will never treat her as his future wife!
“Future Chen Huaixin changed the marriage age to eighteen!”
“Even if I tell him about the future, he won’t do anything to me!”
“At most… they’ll raise me as a child bride!”
“Although the Fourth Princess is sixteen years old now, her figure is much better than mine. Especially her biological sister, who has already grown up. What if she doesn’t offer herself to me but offers herself to the Third Princess…”
Ji Changwei didn’t dare to think any further.
She looked at Ji Changxi and her face turned red with anxiety.
Ji Changluo, who was hiding behind his sister, heard Ji Changxi’s words and said without fear, “Sister, you can’t do this. This… this is not in accordance with etiquette!”
“What’s against etiquette?”
“Can’t I just ask my aunt to arrange the marriage?”
Ji Changxi’s tone was very calm.
After seeing my sister change after having a baby, I felt really happy.
When he saw his daughter, he had an extraordinary curiosity.
She was thinking about whether she should get married to Chen Huaixin as soon as possible!
“As for the Sixth Princess?”
“It’s okay for a little girl like this to be cute.”
“How can you possibly compete with me and my sister?”
Ji Changxi thought in his heart.
Her attitude also caused subtle changes in the hearts of several princesses around her.
Especially Ji Changning, as the oldest imperial sister, although she did not have any thoughts in that regard about Chen Huaixin, but looking at her younger sisters around her, she always felt that the future development might not be very good.
“These sisters of mine…are they really going to fight over men in the future?!”
…
[Same month.]
[The admiral went to the Japanese island again.]
【This time.】
[He not only brought more ships, but also sent some equipment and professionals.]
【”after all.”】
[“Just transporting silver ore.”]
[“What we can carry is still too little.”]
[“We will first do some rough processing on the Japanese island.”]
[“This way we can load more silver!”]
[The Admiral thought to himself.]
[Your Majesty now needs a large amount of silver to reform the financial system. ]
[This will also be the main task of the navy he leads for the next decade or so.]
【“Or rather.”】
[“This is the achievement of my navy!”]
[“So even if this route is relatively stable, it can be handed over to others.”]
[“But for the first few times… I’ll go out to sea myself!”]
【The admiral knows very well.】
[Compared to the subsequent maintenance of the route, the achievement brought by the opening of the route is definitely the greatest. ]
[At the beginning, he only needs to work a little harder, and later he can just stay at the coast and wait for the silver to flow into Yu Country. ]
[“And my political achievements will continue to improve!”]
…
【April, the eleventh year of Jingping.】
【One year later. 】
[The Taoist who went to sea returned to Yuguo again. 】
【but.】
【Compared to the Japanese island discovered last time. 】
[The Taoist gains this time were not much. ]
【”at most.”】
[“Just get the sea map.”]
[“It has become more detailed.”]
【Chen Huaixin looked at the memorial and did not feel any regret.】
【after all.】
The ocean is too big.
[Even with some of his suggestions. ]
[Even if there are Taoists in some places, it is not necessarily possible to find them. ]
[This takes time, and what is consumed… is life! ]
“The risks on the ocean are too great.”
[“Even Taoism, which is familiar with the outer seas, will inevitably suffer losses.”]
[“Even if there are Taoists who are familiar with celestial phenomena, it is difficult to avoid all natural disasters!”]
[The Prime Minister knew the contents of the memorial and said helplessly.]
【actually.】
【This time.】
【Taoism has no intention of returning so soon.】
【The time they told me before. 】
[It is expected to take one to two years.]
【”but.”】
【“Because we encountered a huge typhoon.”】
[“If the Yu Kingdom’s ships were not strong enough, I’m afraid all these Taoists would have been buried at the bottom of the sea!”]
[The Prime Minister shook his head.]
【But even so. 】
[The Yu Kingdom’s ships were still damaged in the typhoon.]
[If the Taoists who had already hidden on the island had not happened to encounter a merchant ship, they would probably still be in that remote place, continuing to survive in the wilderness! ]
[“Wait until the next time we go out to sea.”]
[“Provide the Taoist with a treasure ship.”]
【”after all.”】
[“They are doing this for my country.”]
【“And explore this ocean.”】
[“We can’t let them feel disappointed.”]
【Chen Huaixin made a decision.】
[It’s not the beginning now, he already has a lot more trust in Taoism.]
[So naturally, we are willing to provide these Taoists with better ships and supplies. ]
【“Explore the ocean.”】
[“It’s a fight for life!”]
[“How can we make do with other aspects?”]
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
【After hearing this, the Prime Minister…】
【His eyes suddenly lit up.】
[“Your Majesty, the shipyard has built the treasure ship?!”]
[“No, but it won’t take long. We have to believe in Ji Changxi’s ability!”]
【Chen Huaixin smiled.】
【Since Ji Changxi returned to Dayu Research Institute.】
[The shipyard staff seemed to have seen their father return, and they would send people to the research institute from time to time, hoping that Ji Changxi would give them help and guidance.]
[At first, Ji Changxi wanted to refuse, but then he thought, a steam engine is so huge, if he wants to use it to make something, the thing he makes will definitely be very big! ]
【“Let’s talk about the big one.”】
[“This world.”]
[“What could be bigger than a treasure ship?”]
【Ji Changxi became interested.】
【so.】
【With her help. 】
[The treasure ship that had been under construction since June last year has made rapid progress.]
[Perhaps after a while, we can try to go into the water! ]
[After hearing these words, the Prime Minister couldn’t help but sigh. ]
[“She is truly worthy of being called Her Highness Ji Changxi. It seems that there is nothing in this world that she cannot do!”]
[“That’s not the case. I wanted her to help with arithmetic, but she refused.”]
【Chen Huaixin felt somewhat helpless.】
[In order to reform the financial system, we must have a group of people who are good at mathematics to assist and support us in order to achieve the desired results.]
[Otherwise, if we do it without thinking, it will only cause the crisis of Dachengbao notes to break out again in Yu Country.]
[“For Ji Changxi, her arithmetic is okay, but it’s just enough, not the best.”]
【”so.”】
[“You have to select the personnel yourself.”]
[“Let’s cultivate it slowly.”]
[“Fortunately… I still have enough time!”]
…
[Same month.]
【The forced return of Taoism.】
[Naturally, this was ridiculed by Buddhism.]
[The competition between these two sects in Chang’an City has entered a white-hot stage. Anything that can be brought up will naturally not be let go by the opponent. ]
[“Going overseas to search for immortal mountains? And almost getting wiped out?”]
[“If the ships provided by Your Majesty were not strong enough, I’m afraid these bull noses would have already gone to see Daozu.”]
[“If they hadn’t been lucky enough to encounter a merchant ship, they would probably still be eating raw meat and drinking blood on a deserted island!”]
[“I can only say that Taoism is inferior to Buddhism. We who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures have been reporting back our achievements until now!”]
【“If you don’t believe in Taoism, you might as well believe in Buddhism!”】
【“…”】
【Words like these.】
[With the monks’ deliberate spread, it gradually spread to most of Chang’an City.]
[The Taoists were so angry that their faces turned green, and they were about to go and cause trouble for these bald donkeys with their swords in hand.]
【at last.】
[It was the Taoist leader who stopped them.]
[“No need to get angry.”]
[“Now they are just trying to show off their verbal skills.”]
[“As long as we can find more immortal mountains overseas.”]
【“The future Yu Kingdom.”】
[“Taoism still holds the top position!”]
【The Taoist leader is very confident.】
【after all.】
【Does he know?】
[Your Majesty is going to provide the best ships of Yu Country to the Taoists to train the immortal mountains overseas! ]
[And the Japanese island that was found earlier was occupied by the Yuguo Navy! ]
[“If it weren’t for the inability to tell the people the specific details.”]
【“The matter of the Japanese island.”】
[“It’s enough to make my Taoism beat those bald donkeys!”]
[It’s a pity for the Taoist leader. 】
He feels.
[The impact of those bald donkeys in the Western Regions should not be as great as that of the Japanese islands. Judging from the reaction of the court, we can judge which one is more important. ]
【but.】
【This matter cannot be told to anyone.】
[Then we can only continue to search for the immortal mountains overseas, so that Taoism can at least have the confidence to refute the nonsense of the bald donkeys! ]
【”But.”】
[“My Taoist savings.”]
[“Most of it had already been consumed before.”]
[“If the imperial court is unwilling to provide a little support…”]
[Some Taoist priests sounded worried.]
[They originally thought that they would spend a year or two to bring back more results so that the imperial court could generously support Taoism. Now, due to the typhoon, they were forced to return, and the results… were almost zero! ]
[After hearing this, the Taoist leader also showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.]
【but.】
【Just as he was thinking. 】
【Report this difficulty to the court.】
【To ask for a little help. 】
[A wealthy businessman suddenly came to them. ]
【“We can contribute money and goods.”】
[“Help the Taoist priests to continue their search for immortal mountains overseas.”]
[The wealthy businessman was very polite.]
【But the Taoist leaders did not dare to make a decision on their own.】
【He informed the court of this matter.】
[The memorial soon arrived in front of Chen Huaixin.]
[“A Taoist priest who is familiar with the ocean, together with a wealthy merchant, goes overseas to search for the immortal mountain?”]
【See these two combinations. 】
【In Chen Huaixin’s mind.】
[A noun suddenly emerged.]
【“The Age of Navigation!”】
…
PS: I wrote yesterday about the new positions added to the military, and used such a convoluted description. Some of the content was still deleted due to review. I was speechless…
