She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 431: Opportunity to Go Global

When Yu Yuanzheng heard what the foreigners were shouting in English, she already knew what was going on.

But she said nothing.

Instead, he walked to the iron fence with Shangguan Ziqi.

When those people saw so many people coming, they stopped shouting.

One of the blond men looked at Shangguan Ziqi with anger.

"We have no ill intentions, we were just blown here by the wind. Let us out, we can leave immediately." The man said in English, gesturing with his hands.

But Shangguan Ziqi didn't understand.

Yu Yuanzheng pulled his head down and translated it quietly to him.

"Husband, please ask the irrelevant people to leave. I will communicate with them."

Shangguan Ziqi understood immediately that the lady didn't want anyone to know that she understood the language of these people.

This is indeed unbelievable.

"County Magistrate Zhou, all of you step outside. This prince wants to communicate with them alone." Shangguan Ziqi ordered.

County Magistrate Zhou was stunned. He couldn't understand what was being said. How could he communicate?

But he still obediently took his people out.

Shangguan Ziqi asked several guards to retreat to the outside yard to guard it.

Yu Yuanzheng then stepped forward and asked in fluent English, "Where are you from?"

When the foreigners heard someone could speak their language, they immediately showed expressions of surprise and joy.

The blond man grabbed the iron bars and said anxiously, "We are explorers from Estria. Our ship encountered a storm at sea, lost its way, and was blown here. We have no ill intentions, we just want to ask for help."

"How far is Esteria from here?"

“We don’t know either, it’s been three years since we set out.

However, we did not sail all the time. Instead, we followed the coast, went ashore to replenish supplies every once in a while, played around in the local area, and then continued on our way.

We didn't plan to go ashore this time, but we encountered strong winds and our boat hit a reef and needed repairs.

Please help us, dear lady. We are willing to exchange something for your help."

Yu Yuanzheng nodded and turned to translate for Shangguan Ziqi.

"Estria? What place is that?" Shangguan Ziqi frowned after hearing this.

This was the first time he had heard of such a country with such a strange name.

"Estria should be a western country, very far away from our Great Wei. Their ship lost its way at sea and was blown here." Yu Yuanzheng explained.

"What are your thoughts, Madam? Although they claim to be explorers, their origins are unknown. It would be inappropriate to release them hastily.

Since they called themselves explorers, they must have traveled to many places, and their ship must have many things they collected along the way.

Why don't we first check what they have on board.

And since they've traveled so much, we can learn more about other places from them."

"Yeah, you're right, I thought so too."

Yu Yuanzheng knew clearly that the so-called explorers were actually a group of people with ambitions.

When she thought about the history she knew, wasn't it brought by explorers?

The information they collected during their expeditions would be brought back to their countries, which would arouse the greed of their rulers, leading them to build more ships and plunder abroad.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzheng had a bold idea in his mind.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name?" Yu Yuanzheng asked the blond man.

"Dear lady, please call me Edward Russell. What is your name, young lady?"

"The country you have come to is called Great Wei, and I am Yu Yuanzheng, the princess of Great Wei. This is Shangguan Ziqi, the great general of Great Wei."

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess. Nice to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Edward bowed and saluted.

“Mr. Edward, we need to inspect your ship to confirm your identity and cargo.

If everything is true, we will consider releasing you.

At the same time, on behalf of my emperor, I welcome you to visit our capital so that we can have further exchanges.

We can help you repair your ship."

Edward's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Excellent! Our ship is loaded with goods from Estria, including woolen products, leather goods, glassware, fine silverware, and more. We are willing to trade with you in exchange for food and supplies."

Yu Yuanzheng translated his words to Shangguan Ziqi.

"In that case, I will send someone to check their ship." Shangguan Ziqi became very interested.

"Okay, arrange it as soon as possible. Also, these people have been frightened in prison. We need to first arrange accommodation for them and treat them well. We don't want them to feel that we, the Great Wei, are neglecting our guests.

But we also need to find someone to keep an eye on them and not let them wander around.

We will bring them back to the capital so that the emperor can meet them and understand how big this world is."

Although Wei is relatively powerful at present, it is only because of the bomb that its power is limited to a few neighboring countries, and it knows very little about the outside world.

The arrival of these foreigners was an opportunity for the Wei Dynasty to begin to contact the outside world.

Let the people of Wei know that there are many countries that are much stronger than Wei.

Yu Yuanzheng had a strong idea at this time. The Great Wei could not wait for others to become powerful and attack the Great Wei, and then become a vassal state of the West under the foreign artillery.

Shangguan Ziqi noticed that Yu Yuanzheng seemed lost in thought and asked softly, "What are you thinking about, Madam?"

Yu Yuanzheng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I was thinking that the arrival of these people might be a great opportunity for our Great Wei.

We can learn about the outside world through them, and even engage in trade, exchanging what we have and what we don't have, selling our unique products to other countries, and making Dawei more money."

When Shangguan Ziqi heard this, his eyes lit up. Madam is really far-sighted.

"You're right. Although the Wei Kingdom is powerful, it cannot remain complacent.

If we can communicate with the outside world and make more money for Wei, it will be best for Wei.

After the previous war, and now facing a major disaster, the Wei Dynasty can't withstand any storm at all.

As the Rongwang Mansion of the Great Wei, we have the obligation to help the Great Wei overcome this difficulty.

Perhaps the arrival of these foreigners is an opportunity for the Wei Dynasty."

"Ah."

Yu Yuanzheng communicated with these foreigners for a while and decided to release them and bring them to Beijing.

Seeing Yu Yuanzheng's warm invitation, Edward agreed.

They traveled to many countries. When they first set out, the languages ​​of the countries they passed through were still intelligible, but later on, they relied entirely on gestures to communicate.

But I have never experienced being thrown into prison.

As long as they take out something in exchange, they can always leave smoothly.

If they hadn't encountered a typhoon this time, they would never have reached shore.

Even if they need supplies, they will communicate with others and exchange what they need.

Shangguan Ziqi asked someone to call in County Magistrate Zhou and asked him to settle the people down and ensure their livelihood.

Of course, County Magistrate Zhou did not dare to disobey Shangguan Ziqi's orders.

The next day, Yu Yuanzheng took Edward with her to check their ship.

When they saw the big ship, they were all surprised.
