Nanming: I can build wonders

Huang Baijia, a filial son next to him, turned to look at Zhu Kezang when he heard Zhu Kezang's cold snort: "Your Majesty, did that Lama Sangye write something stupid in the letter to make you angry?"

Zhu Kezang said coldly: "This lama relied on his status in the snowy plateau, and this time he helped Kang Mazi come to me as a lobbyist!"

Huang Baijia asked, "Your Majesty, Kang Mazi wants to make trouble again?"

"He wants me, and the so-called Frankish Emperor Louis to carve up the world!" Zhu Kezang snorted again, "They deserve it too!" Although he said so, Zhu Kezang did not look down on Kangxi.

He used to praise Kangxi for being able to make a comeback from the adversity of losing his country and exile, and create a great situation, which is regarded as a dragon and a phoenix among people.

Zhu Kezang still spoke very highly of his old enemy.

Kangxi not only has the tenacity to fight through defeat, but also has a strong learning ability.

Many of the new weapons produced by Daming were counterfeit.

Although he couldn't copy the real core technology, he still made a name for himself in Central Asia, West Asia and Tianzhu with the help of sugar gunpowder.

Although there is some light from Daming here, Kangxi's ability is indeed good.

So much so that Zhu Kezang didn't beat Kangxi to death with a stick in the end, and wanted to see what level Kang Mazi could do.

Unexpectedly, Kang Mazi and Louis wanted to carve up the world with him.

What Zhu Kezang is planning now is no longer his career in this life, but planning for the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world a hundred years later.

Three points and equal points have never been Zhu Kezang's pursuit. Zhu Kezang's goal has always been Ming's domination and domination of the entire world.

Huang Zongxi's good son Huang Baijia fell into thinking.

Huang Baijia said, "Your Majesty, this world is only so big. Moreover, the share in our hands cannot be expanded in tens of hundreds of years. No one wants to occupy the territory!"

"If we don't share with Kang Mazi, will the French share increase? These Europeans are very cunning, and they have a large population!"

"Weichen personally thinks that instead of allowing the Europas to occupy more territory, it is better to let Kang Mazi's Qing Mongols participate in the three-point world! If he gets more points, France will get a little less. Anyway, since the Qing Mongols are nothing to worry about."

The consensus of the Ming court was that once Kangxi died, the Qing and Mongolia would be absolutely torn apart.

But France is different, the unified Europe is the last hurdle on the way to dominate the world after tomorrow.

The potential for a unified European war is too great, and it would be too troublesome for Ming to fight in the past, otherwise it would not be possible to support Brandenburg to transform into Prussia.

After listening to Huang Baijia's analysis, Zhu Kezang nodded again and again, his face full of relief: "Okay, okay, Mr. Huang has a successor."

It's a pity that Huang Baijia wants Ding You to keep his filial piety, otherwise Zhu Kezang will take him to participate in the negotiations between France and Qing Dynasty and Mongolia.

This negotiation is still important, and it should be regarded as setting up a hegemony for Daming a hundred years later.

The rumbling rotation of the steam engine drove three transport ships to travel westward against the current, stirring up three long white waves on the Nanhe waterway between Suzhou and Zhenjiang.

Near these three transport ships, there are still some Ming's inland river warships defending.

Presumably there were important guests on the transport ship.

On the transport ship, there are the golden iris flag symbolizing the French Bourbon royal family, the yellow dragon flag symbolizing the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia, and the cross flag symbolizing the Holy See, fluttering in the autumn wind.

Guys with Europa faces and Manchurian faces looked at the new atmosphere of Ming with novelty.

On both sides of the canal, there is a thriving industrial age.

On both sides of the waterway, villages and towns are dotted with waterwheels and windmills.

In the distance, there are countless large chimneys emitting black smoke, as well as the roar of rumbling machines.

The air quality in Daming was really bad, and the people on board were coughing repeatedly.

On the waterway, merchant ships and passenger boats traveling from east to west are lined up in rows. In the busiest areas, there are even "boat jams"!

Most of the ships passing on the canal are vehicles and boats.

It's not the same as the steamship that these messengers are on.

Their power is not steam engine, but human power.

The boatmen pedal a special bicycle, and transmit their strength to the water wheel through gears, belts, and bearings, and then turn the water wheel to push the passenger boat forward.

This kind of water wheel-driven boat was already very popular in the Song Dynasty, when industry and commerce were very prosperous.

In the former Ming Dynasty, due to the huge damage caused by the Mongolian conquest war, the vehicles and boats almost disappeared, but the waterwheel and windmill were passed down.

However, after the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty and the changing wars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, windmills became relatively rare, and only waterwheels used for irrigation can still be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, Zhu Kezang's new Ming Dynasty was born, reviving China's industry and commerce.

All kinds of wind, water, manpower, animal power, and steam-driven machinery finally ushered in an era of great explosion.

Of course, none of the previous forces can compare to the power of a steam engine.

But the steam engine is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it, and only those big capitalists in Ming Dynasty can afford it.

Now power machinery is the most promising industry in Ming Dynasty.

Daming now has less people, more land, and a large territory. Naturally, there is a shortage of labor force. Of course, investing in machinery and equipment has become a very promising business.

Zhu Kezang worked hard to promote new-style education, and cultivated a large number of new-style talents who have mastered a lot of knowledge in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

Under their whimsical ideas, Daming's machinery industry has hit a storm, and it's hard to think about it.

Unless there is a god like "Qianlong" on the Daming booth.

Suoetusuo Zhongtang, the prime minister of the Mongolian Empire in the Qing Dynasty and the Minister of State Affairs, was sitting on the top platform of this westbound vehicle and boat, holding a teacup, and looking at the country that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

His old friend Ye Mingzhu (Nalan Mingzhu) was sitting beside him, just watching Suo'etu quietly.

The outfits of the two were separated by an era.

Ye Mingzhu was wearing a Daming Han costume, and Suo'etu was wearing a "zombie costume".

Comparing them now, Suo Zhongtang also had to admit that Daming's clothes looked better.

Ye Mingzhu has retired, and now lives in Yingtianfu with Ye Xingde, the great poet's son.

Ye Mingzhu's retirement life is good. When she is in a good mood, she goes to Goulan to listen to music. When she is in a bad mood, she goes to Daming Yanenhou "Kangxi" to show off her might.

So much so that Ye Mingzhu admired her vision. She surrendered at the beginning, and she was too right.

Zhu Kezang was indeed magnanimous, and for the sake of signing a contract to sell the Qing Dynasty, he did not feel sorry for his family at all.

His son Ye Xingde is now an official worshiper of Honglu Temple, and is responsible for receiving visiting missions from France, Qing Dynasty Mongolia, and the Holy See.

Ye Xingde saw that his father was flustered at home, and knew that his father and Suo'etu had an affair, so he sent a temporary dispatch to his father, asking him to meet the tripartite missions together.

In more fashionable words: labor dispatch.
