I'm really not doing business

Chapter 430: If it’s not for swords, it’s for fish.
Generally speaking, the empire has passed the dangerous period of doubting the country, so the heroes who have maintained the stability of the country should retreat bravely. If they do not retreat, they will die. This has always been the case.

However, the pair of emperors and ministers Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng are different from previous emperors and ministers. The main reason is that the general situation is different. At present, the Ming Dynasty is transforming from a land power to a land and sea power. Zhu Yijun needs Zhang Juzheng to continue to assist, and the Ming Dynasty also needs Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun knew his goal very clearly. Before the Ming Dynasty became great again, Zhu Yijun would not allow anything to happen to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong. This guy has only done one thing for so many years, that is, whatever the emperor says, he even formed an obsession. When Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong to protect Zhang Juzheng, it meant that he was covering up the Ming Emperor. Baoxi's imperial edict will be invalid unless Zhu Yijun himself orders it.

Zhu Yijun talked about everyone, including himself.

Luo Sigong selected twenty Tiqi, and after arriving at the Quanchu Guild Hall, he immediately went to the capital camp. Qi Jiguang mobilized 180 sharp soldiers to form the Yicheng Bofu Tielin Army. These 180 sharp soldiers needed Going through the formalities, the transfer of more than a hundred people required the Ministry of War, the General Soldier of the Beijing Camp, and His Majesty's approval to complete the transfer. It only took half a day for these elite soldiers to arrive at the Quanchu Guild Hall.

Zhang Juzheng was working at Wenyuan Pavilion and had posted all the memorials delivered today on his own stamps. Before he returned home, he saw Luo Sigong waiting in front of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Greetings to Yuan Fu." Luo Sigong bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty sent me to protect your safety."

"Luo Qianhu is so polite." Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Sigong and was confused for a moment. Zhang Juzheng knew this person's character very well. He always thought that His Majesty trained Luo Sigong specifically to protect the emperor's own safety.

But now Luo Sigong stood in front of him.

"Husband, I had a chat with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li. In fact, their problems can be solved easily. Just having a child is enough. My mother said that she would choose two more concubines to come into the palace. How about waiting for Concubine Liu? How about getting pregnant with Concubine Li?" Wang Yaozhuo looked at the emperor's sneaky appearance and felt that it was funny. His Majesty is really an interesting person. He wanted to see it without paying him.

This memorial is very professional, with extremely extensive and detailed citations, clear arguments, and evidence supported by inscriptions and historical records. It is logically rigorous and reasonable. It systematically discusses the Ming Dynasty's decision-making process in the process of the Ming Dynasty losing Nuergandusi. Mistakes made and various mistakes in the process of becoming a king, simple military restraint cannot form effective rule and stable border security.

Wan Shihe's memorial was written in the name of the Minister of Rites. It was not the work of him alone. It was a common understanding among many officials in the Ministry of Rites who studied etiquette.

The descendants of the slaves Gandu Si, commanders, commanders, and officials recruited during the Yongle period were still hereditary. However, the captive chiefs recruited after the first year of Hongxi were all deprived of their hereditary rights.

Luo Sigong even found a few spies from his servants. These spies were mainly inquiring about information about the Quanchu Guild Hall, but at critical moments, they might become sharp blades for assassination.

"My lady, come and have a look too." Zhu Yijun motioned to Wang Yaozhuo to come and see the iron flowers, which is only once a year.

During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty wanted twenty sea greens every year, and the Nurgandu division had to capture at least fifty sea greens to prevent them from dying suddenly on the road and unable to complete the tribute. These sea greens were really difficult to catch. It is a fast-flying bird of prey and is known as the God of Eagles. Birds like Haidongqing are also symbols of divine birds in Liaodong and Nuergandusi, and are the messengers of the Mother of Gods.

Luo Sigong's protection is very professional, much better than that of the servants of the Quanchu Guild Hall, arranging travel, personnel screening, checking for hidden dangers, food inspections, etc. In the hands of the professional Luo Sigong, these are all arranged extremely properly, with the purpose of checking for hidden dangers. For example, the place where Zhang Juzheng spent the most time was Wenchang Pavilion, but there was no lightning protection in the study. Tiqi and his people had to arrange it, and some fire hazards in the house were eliminated one by one.

The dragon lanterns of the Dragon Lantern Festival are constantly shuttling under the iron flowers. This is called dragon wearing flowers, or dragon dance, which is extremely lively.

Gang: Blockage, Ganghua means that the Ming Dynasty gradually lost control of Nuer Gandusi.

Wan Shihe's editorial is of great significance, and the content is extremely detailed, but not many people can read it from beginning to end because his writing is too professional.

The sky is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and the sky is filled with molten iron and colorful smoke.

Luo Sigong said very stubbornly: "Your Majesty asked me to protect you. Your Majesty will do whatever you say."

"You should go back to protect His Majesty." Zhang Juzheng felt that this shadowy figure should stay by His Majesty's side, so that His Majesty would be safer. Even if he is gone, with His Majesty's presence, the Ming Dynasty's New Deal will still be there.

This was not Wan Shihe's unfounded target. Wan Shihe also mentioned the old story of the rise of the Jin Kingdom and the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Aguda gathered all the Jurchen tribes, captured the Liao Kingdom's shielding eagle officers, and launched an army to destroy the Liao Dynasty. He said: Liao and Jin quarreled. The east sea is green, the jade claws are famous as eagles, and the tribute has been suspended for a long time.

Zhu Yijun stared at the telescope and said: "My wife's arrangement is, good guy, this iron flower is amazing!"

In the tenth year of Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing issued an order. During the Yongle period, Wu La, Nurgan and other places issued orders and combined guns and arrows to upgrade official flags, and they were still allowed to attack. After the first year of Hongxi's reign, all military services were reduced.

"Your Majesty's summary can be said to be penetrating, penetrating, to the point, and to the point!" Feng Bao had read Wan Shihe's memorial. He felt dizzy reading it. There were too many words. He wrote five thousand words eloquently, and His Majesty only used eight. Summed it up in one word.

The labor of capturing Haidongqing was extremely hard. In the Qing Dynasty, the savage Jurchens still had to capture Haidongqing and send it to the palace, and even caused a rebellion.

If you don't want to be ripped off, you have to become a carnivore.

What exactly happened, due to the lack of sufficient historical materials, Wan Shihe could only infer from the "Yongning Temple Records", "The Stele Record of the Reconstruction of Yongning Temple", Taizong's Records, Xuanzong's Records, etc.

Zhang Juzheng knew Zhu Yijun too well. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was obvious that the emperor's usual respect was not the emperor's will. With Luo Sigong beside Zhang Juzheng, even the method of falsely passing on the imperial edict would become ineffective, because Luo Sigong did not recognize the imperial edict. Only recognize His Majesty.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Wanli, the day before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo secretly hid in the Zhaixing Tower to watch the Aoshan Lantern Festival. The Aoshan Lantern Festival performed various arts. If Zhu Yijun showed up, he would have to follow the instructions of his ancestors. It is a law to reward money.

As the Ming Dynasty continued to open up the sea, it also became more conservative. The Ming Dynasty had lost the little trust it had in the Fanyi. The tributary countries and vassal countries were just enemies with different names. To the Ming Dynasty's maritime and border areas, The security of the country does not play any practical role. The diplomatic ideas of cultivating Wende and Rouyuan are being abandoned. Only by truly eating the benefits in the stomach can the stomach be full.

Wan Shihe deduced that after the death of Chengzuwen Emperor Zhu Di, a certain scale of rebellion occurred in Liaodong, which caused the Ming Dynasty to lose control of Nuergandusi. The rebels even broke through Yongning Temple, and only then did they rebuild Yongning Temple. What caused the rebellion was: tributes like Haidongqing.

Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, was reading a memorial written by Wan Shihe, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites. The content of this memorial was about the transformation of Nuer Gandusi.

"You know how to flatter me." Zhu Yijun sneered and continued to review the memorial.

This memorial is quite professional, and Wan Shihe starts from the 10th year of Jiajing reign.

There is a flower shed at the performance site, so the Bagua is displayed. The artists bring a gourd and a gourd, put the upper stick into the iron furnace to fill the molten iron, run out of the flower shed, and hit the upper stick hard with the lower stick. , the red iron flowers burst suddenly in the hands of the artist. A total of twenty-four people participated in the performance, one stick after another, one person after another, going back and forth between the furnace and the flower shed. One stick of iron flowers soared into the sky, and another One stick after another, sticks connected to each other, in an endless stream.

Wang Yaozhuo and Zhu Yijun watched the entire Aoshan Lantern Festival, which was so exciting. Wang Yaozhuo wanted to help the sisters, but the only solution to this unsolvable problem was children. With children, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li might be able to solve the problem. Your Majesty treats me as a family member, so I can let go. At the moment, this is just to know the basics, but I'm afraid it's not enough.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing made such a decision was that since Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, Nuer Gandusi began to become a bastard.

When Zhu Di was still alive, he did not dare to act rashly due to Zhu Di's force. After the news of Zhu Di's death reached Nuergandusi, the local dissenters immediately took advantage of Haidongqing's belief and the labor pains of capturing Haidongqing to arbitrarily disturb the people and set off a rebellion.

Zhang Juzheng gave up the persuasion. This man accepted death and could not be deceived by his eloquent words.

Zhu Yijun quite agreed with this change. He thought about it and wrote eight words in this memorial: If it is not for the sword, it is for the fish.

The Ming Dynasty had completely lost interest in tributary states and vassal states, and even had very clear doubts about the function of the Simple Jisi Xuanweisi.

Luo Sigong's investigation method is very simple. His Majesty's method of reporting each other. There is no eye on the box these days to see who is snitching. Anyone who provides clues can get a reward. Under this kind of reporting, Tiqi knew who was interested in whom among the servant and the maid.

After Luo Sigong arrived at the Quanchu Guild Hall, the security of the Quanchu Guild Hall was raised to the same level as Tonghe Palace.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty accurately refined the content of Wan Shihe's lecture and made a concise and concise summary. This is the basic principle of international competition in the current great debate of the Ming Dynasty, which is the same as the traditional Confucian etiquette. All the views are completely contradictory, and more like promoting a kind of violence theory of 'the weak and the strong'.

Only counties and counties with solid soil, that is, where troops are stationed, taxes are collected, people are registered as households, and cars are on the same track and books are written in the same text, are the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of Wan Shihe's memorial is mainly to tell His Majesty that north of Liaodong, there has been a long history of dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty King Hua Jiu, who was in the first year of Hongxi 170 years ago, and the Haixi Jurchens , Jianzhou Jurchen, and Savage Jurchen are three parts that are savage and untamable, and the gentle policy is just to breed tigers. How the Ming Dynasty lost its slave Gandusi, it should be how to get it back with its own hands.

There is no use for the restraint!

The excitement of the Lantern Festival finally came to an end. Wang Yaozhuo followed Zhu Yijun on the car back to Tonghe Palace and went along the small railway. Wang Yaozhuo touched his belly and looked out the window. On such a lively day, he and Liu Concubine Li has nothing to do with them. They are waiting in the palace, worried.

In the closed space, Zhu Yijun's hands were somewhat dishonest. Wang Yaozhuo leaned on the emperor's arms, her face turned red, and she said with a slight breath: "Husband, I can't sleep with you today."

"What's wrong? Is it there again?" Zhu Yijun asked slightly surprised.

"Yeah." Wang Yaozhuo was also a little annoyed. She knows how to eat. Now that she's pregnant, she won't be able to sleep with her for at least a year and a half. It takes ten months to give birth, and another six months to recover after giving birth. It's such a long time. , it is the prime years, clinging to the boudoir, somewhat austere.

Zhu Yijun stopped messing around, hugged Wang Yaozhuo, and started chattering. The content of the chatter was relatively messy, mainly about the affairs of the previous dynasty. The Lanzhou Woolen Factory in Shaanxi Province finally produced worsted wool this year, and he also found the A white clay mine, but unfortunately the clay mine is a bit deep and not easy to dig; Yunnan's coinage has reached a bottleneck, and the output of Yunnan copper has been completely surpassed by Luzon. North Korea and China are discussing whether the scale of Yunnan copper can be smaller. Rest and recuperate; oil black gold has been discovered in Java Island, which is within the actual control range of the Ming Dynasty and can be vigorously exploited. The supply of light oil to the Ming Dynasty has been somewhat guaranteed;
Wang Yaozhuo has been with Zhu Yijun all these years, and he has his own opinions on these matters. For example, the Yunnan Copper matter cannot be stopped. This is the pillar of Yunnan. If it is stopped, where will the development of Yunnan be? For example, Java is very close to the Strait of Malacca. If the Strait of Malacca is in the hands of a red-haired man for a day, he will not be able to rest at ease. How can he sleep on the couch lying on his side?

The car stopped in front of the gate of Tonghe Palace. Zhu Yijun went to the bathroom to wash up, while Wang Yaozhuo came to the Huacalyx Tower, where Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were waiting.

"It has been three years since you two entered the palace together with me. Then Concubine Zhou and Concubine Ran who entered the palace later have children. You should be worried and uneasy. The more worried you are, the less likely you are to be favored by the holy family, and the more worried and cautious you will be. How can it be possible if this continues? Today, I will give you a clear path. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you." Wang Yaozhuo put away his weakness in front of the emperor and assumed the airs of the master of the harem, his tone Extremely bland.

"Thank you Queen for your advice!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li looked at each other, saluted, and left with the eunuch. Zhu Yijun was taking a bath in the Huaqing Pool in the bathroom. He was a little distracted, thinking about what was going on in the court. Suddenly, in the hazy smoke, he saw two figures. His hand was pressed on the knife hanging by the pool, and he slowly Pull out.

Unexpectedly, an assassin appeared in the bathroom of Tonghe Palace!
Knives are something Zhu Yijun always keeps at hand. Assassin King Jinglong had two knives, one long and one short. After slashing on the dragon bed, Zhu Yijun's knife never left his side.

"Who is it?" Zhu Yijun held the knife and remained alert. He even held the knife and walked out of Huaqing Pool step by step. He looked like a woman, and she was quite plump. She had two gourd-shaped figures. When they were fighting, they were too broad-minded. It's a burden, and the opponent has no weapons.

Not much of a threat.

Zhu Yijun frowned, even a little dissatisfied! I am the top master of the empire's youth group, so I sent two unarmed maids to assassinate him? ! This is humiliating! There were more than twenty palace maids who assassinated the Taoist master at the beginning. What does it mean to send two when it is my turn! Look who can't afford it! !

What Zhu Yijun was more worried about was that the security of Tonghe Palace had such a serious problem just after Luo Sigong was sent out.

"Concubine Liu Mengshu and Li Jin pay their respects to Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled. They had thought about His Majesty's reaction, but they never expected that His Majesty would actually pull out the knife!

"Ah?" Zhu Yijun heard the voice and fully understood that it was not an assassin.

Putting yourself in their shoes, the two people were able to walk in without any clues. They had already made great determination. In order to obtain the Holy Family and worries about the future, coupled with the shyness and shyness under the current conservative education, It's also common.

This was obviously put in intentionally by Feng Bao, the Flower and Bird Ambassador, otherwise he would have reported it in advance. Feng Bao, the Flower and Bird Ambassador, also had a somewhat clear idea of ​​what the emperor liked.

Liu Mengshu and Li Jin were more courageous. She risked her life and waited for the two concubines to enter the palace. His Majesty was afraid that he would never see them again. She said loudly: "I have two concubines here to take care of His Majesty's bathing."

"No gifts." Zhu Yijun nodded. He was a little too cautious. This is Tonghe Palace, his home base that he has been running for nine years.

Seeing that His Majesty did not scold them, Liu Mengshu and Li Jin gradually relaxed their posture. The sound of running water in Huaqing Pool was filled with laughter and laughter.

"Who asked you to come together?" Zhu Yijun felt a little weird. The two girls were not so courageous for such an outrageous thing.

"The two concubines went to ask the queen. The queen said that if you don't destroy it, you won't establish it. The more you bully the less! Now we are here." Li Jin gritted his silver teeth, tied his head rope, and got into the water, the scabbard slightly showing Unfamiliar, only the smooth and white back floated in the water.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment, it's warm and cold at first, be careful of getting cold, come back to the palace, hiss!" Zhu Yijun stopped him again and again, but the golden sword was finally put into the two scabbards.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun sat up, shook his head, took a deep breath, and looked at the two pale faces, then realized that yesterday's absurdity was really absurd, and it was obviously against etiquette.

"You two don't have to worry. The queen told me yesterday that the matter of accepting the concubine is not urgent and will wait for now." Zhu Yijun changed his clothes and planned to go to the Wenhua Palace after breakfast for a court meeting. Before leaving, It gave the two of them a reassurance.

Zhu Yijun moved his body and got on the jade chariot. Only then did he confirm that his judgment last night was correct. These two people were indeed assassins. They were even said to be more difficult to deal with than assassins! Use this to test the emperor. Which emperor can withstand this test? !
Either you can't let it go, or you've let it go too far.

During today's court meeting, a memorandum from Jiugang Secretary Yingyanghou Zhang Yuanxun was sent to the court. In this memorandum, the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense inspection captured an English fleet near Borneo in September last year. , the Ming Dynasty coastal defense inspection team released him after numerous interrogations and confirmed that the other party was indeed from England.

This English fleet wanted to avoid being pursued by the Governor-General of Goa, so it did not go through the Strait of Malacca into the Western Ocean. Instead, it went to the Banda Sea, bypassed the Strait of Malacca from the south of Java, and entered the Western Ocean (Indian Ocean). And the Ming Dynasty During the coastal defense inspection, we also explored the shipping route south of Java, which was a long detour, but it was indeed a shipping lane that could bypass the Strait of Malacca.

Wan Shihe sorted out the notes in his hand and said: "The captain's name was Francis Drake. In the fifth year of Wanli, on the order of the Queen of England, he led five ships from Plymouth, England, and began a voyage around the world, because Both the Star Map and the Needle Map were in the hands of Portugal and Spain, and they explored for longer. In the City of Liberty, Francis robbed a Portuguese galleon, so they became pirates and were hunted everywhere."

“It took Captain Francis two years to reach the Strait of Magellan, the southernmost point of the New World, and it took two weeks to pass through the Strait of Magellan. When crossing the Strait of Magellan, they lost two ships, and it took another seven It took months to reach Chile, and I was almost captured by the indigenous people.”

"In February of the eighth year of Wanli, Captain Francis finally obtained the needle map, star map and method of traveling from the New World to Luzon after robbing the treasure ship Cakafugo. In March they set out, and it took them four months to arrive in Yuan Dynasty. Xu Islands, when they were caught by our coastal defense patrol, they only had two boats left."

Starting in the fifth year of Wanli, it was not until September of the seventh year of Wanli that they detoured through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The large sailing ships from Taixi can travel to the Ming Dynasty from Taixi once a year. This is the advantage brought by information, and this kind of Exploration, very, very adventurous.

Zhu Yijun browsed through the navigation notes for a while. After Zhang Yuanxun seized the three English ships, he took the ships to Manila for some repairs and cleaning. By the way, he copied all their nautical charts, needle charts, and star charts. share.

Francis Drake's orders were to sail around the world.

After robbing the Kakafugo and obtaining the star and needle charts needed for navigation, he succeeded and will return successfully in April this year.

The four-party competition between England, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands (Netherlands) for overseas interests kicked off with Francis' smooth return voyage.

Zhu Yijun had a huge blue gem in his hand, which was one of the trophies that Francis grabbed. After being captured by the Ming Dynasty, Francis dedicated it to Ying Yanghou Zhang Yuanxun, and then delivered it to the emperor's hands.

"On December 14 last year, a total of twenty three-masted ships arrived in Manila, Luzon. This group returned via the equatorial ocean current after completing the transaction in Peru. Our exploration fleet is still heading towards Exploring the Atlantic Ocean, this return voyage completed the route to the Viceroyalty of Mexico and the Viceroyalty of Peru." Wan Shihe also talked about the results of Zhang Yuanxun's memorial to Shuli and the Ming Dynasty's exploration of the waterway.

Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty is also conducting a large-scale voyage, and judging from the information obtained, the Ming Dynasty's exploration fleet is the largest in the world. Whether it is Magellan's around-the-world voyage or Francis's around-the-world voyage, they are all composed of three or five ships. The adventure of the Lord, and the Ming Dynasty's exploration fleet was extremely arrogant. There were five five-masted ships, one stargazing ship, and seventy-two three-masted plywood ships, with more than 4,000 people.

This is due to size.

After Wan Shihe finished speaking, there was silence in the Wenhua Hall for a long time. England, the Netherlands, and France all discovered the huge benefits of navigation. The Ming Dynasty had a rich foundation in this area, but it seemed that it was not sensitive enough to the benefits. The scale was indeed the largest. Yes, but the Ming Dynasty’s layout for the great voyages was already somewhat behind.

The reason why the courtiers were silent was because they were thinking about a problem. Without His Majesty's insistence on opening the sea, with the support of huge profits from navigation, the center of the world and the Kingdom of Heaven would probably shift from the east to the west. This is something that Ming Dynasty cannot accept in any case. , in the land of the Central Plains, as long as it is a unified dynasty, it must be the center of the world.

They are all smart people, and they can make judgments about things like learning from the east to the west, as long as they have a little understanding of the things that have happened in the past two years.

The Longqing switch only opened the port for a month, but the Wanli opening of the sea started. When did it start?

In the sixth year of Longqing's reign, Luo Gongchen, the owner of the Dufu Museum and a fellow governor of coastal defense, went to the capital to lobby the ministers in support of dedicating points to foreign ships. Luo Gongchen did not get support, but Zhang Juzheng got to know Luo Gongchen. In the first year of Wanli, the big sailing ship Arriving in Hong Kong, two eunuchs, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jin, presided over the first foreign ship draw.

The stingy and greedy Ming Emperor and the impoverished Ming court embarked on the road of opening up the sea, and they have been out of control ever since.

"I like gems, emeralds and other things." Zhu Yijun turned the sapphire in his hand around and said to the courtiers: "I will collect more in the future. Feng Daban, cut this sapphire and make it into accessories. I want to give it to your love." Concubines."

"I obey." Feng Bao took the sapphire box.

The courtiers all know that Your Majesty is frugal and does not like extravagance and waste. His daily clothes are all in Tsing Yi. His Majesty said this with his own reputation. It is just one more reason to open the sea. The greedy and stingy emperor collects treasures from the East. Evil dragon.

Zhu Yijun does not cherish his reputation very much. He has developed a reputation for being frugal, so he naturally has to use it.

"Your Majesty, Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun is waiting outside the palace." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the personnel changes. After Wang Daokun returns to Beijing, Guo Chaobin, Minister of Industry, will leave his post.

"Xuan."

"Xuan Governor Songjiang Zuodu Yushi and Hubu Zuoshi Lang Wang Daokun are here to see you!" Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly.

Wang Daokun stepped onto the platform of the Wenhua Hall step by step, stood in front of the palace gate, looked back behind him, and walked from the scholar to the Wenhua Hall in the center of the empire. It took Wang Daokun almost a lifetime to finally become the Duke of Ming Dynasty. .

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty." Wang Daokun bowed five times and kowtowed three times in a grand salute.

"I love you, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you auspicious auspiciousness." Wang Daokun stood up and bowed his head and said, "The construction was supervised by Guo Chaobin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This boat has not yet been named, but it has been deduced from the Maritime Academy and the Royal Academy of Gakushu. If the construction is successful, it will be from Songjiang It only takes one and a half months to reach the Viceroyalty of Mexico from Fuxin Port, and only 13 days to cross the Atlantic. One ship can carry million kilograms of cargo."

Four small yellow gates carried a table covered with red silk cloth into the Wenhua Hall.

This was entirely a project hosted by Wang Daokun. He deliberately gave some of Xiangrui's credit to Guo Chaobin because Guo Chaobin was about to retire. He, Wang Daokun, gave this credit to Guo Chaobin so that he could take charge of the Ministry of Industry.

This court is not all about fighting and killing, it is also about people and worldliness.

Give Ming craftsmen a chance, and Ming craftsmen will give countless miracles to the Ming Emperor.
