Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 578 I still owe you a chief assistant (finale part one)
In order to protect the lungs of the earth, Zhu Youxiao decreed that Zhu Cijiong's development of the Americas could only extend to the Panama Canal.

And the whole of South America was divided by Zhu Youxiao as a land that could never be exploited forever, and the natives who were still living there were also expelled from the country, and this area was directly designated as a restricted area.

Not only South America, places such as the Antarctic and the Arctic Ocean have also been divided into restricted areas, and other human activities are prohibited except for scientific research activities.

Anyway, now that the Ming Dynasty enjoys the resources of the entire empire, there is no need to develop at the cost of destroying the earth's ecology.

In the second year after the construction of the Americas, Zhu Youxiao visited the Americas once, and had a long secret talk with his eldest son, Zhu Cijiong, in the Five Great Lakes Scenic Area. Since that secret talk, Zhu Cijiong has never participated in the meeting of the chief minister of the cabinet in his life. campaign.

In the blink of an eye, it has been the 51st year of Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Ming Empire has gone through [-] years, and its territory has expanded to the limit of human activities.

But the Ming Empire has not stopped exploring new worlds, and even the speed is getting faster and faster.

The number of academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Imperial Academy has exceeded [-], and thousands of branches have even been established across the continents. Various national-level scientific research awards for natural sciences and social sciences have reached thousands, and they are full-time engaged in research The number of staff has reached one million, and there are tens of millions of gardeners struggling in the field of education.

Just because of the increased strength and speed of developing knowledge and truth, the economy of the entire empire is developing rapidly. The gross national product has already exceeded five trillion silver dollars, and the annual revenue of the treasury is also calculated in trillions of silver dollars.

The railway mileage has exceeded ten thousand miles, the road network has almost spread across Europe and Asia, several bridges have been built on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and the first hydropower station has been successfully built along the Yangtze River in Yichang.

This already means that Daming's electricity production method has started to switch from firepower to hydraulic power.

Automobile technology has been improved again, the penetration rate has been further increased, and various brands have even appeared, and sedan chairs have begun to be phased out.

Large cruise ships have also begun to appear, and citizens of Ming Dynasty can even buy tickets to go directly to the Americas or to Europe.

With the improvement of photographic technology, movies also began to appear on the market, and because of the development of acoustics and optical electromagnetic waves, sound movies also came into being.

In terms of military affairs, smokeless gunpowder has already replaced black powder, high explosives such as anthracene have also been successfully manufactured, and various artillery and firearms are emerging in endlessly.

In addition, with the development of polymer materials, various materials that can withstand high temperatures have begun to emerge, which means that it is no longer a problem to manufacture aircraft or even spaceships in the future.

However, Zhu Youxiao prohibits the invention and promotion of plastics, and also prohibits nuclear weapons experiments on the earth.

Therefore, many military weapon experts and chemical experts in the Ming Dynasty could only focus on pharmaceutical preparations, chemical textile industry, and other civilian equipment, such as washing machines, refrigerators, etc., and began to focus on the convenience of human life as the main research direction. However, research that satisfies the struggle for human interests has become less popular.

But this does not mean that there is no research. Huaxia has been interested in understanding outer space since ancient times. Nowadays, Ming can only regard aliens as imaginary enemies in military research. After all, there are no opponents on the earth, so it can only increase foreign Research efforts in space.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand why his concubines were so interested in movies that only had black and white images. After watching it for a while, he directly fled the Palace Cinema and walked to the Imperial Garden for a walk.

However, at this time, the eunuch Chen Tingjing hurriedly found Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, people from Dongchang came to report that Mr. Li Ge is dying."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and ordered someone to send a telegram to the person in charge of the railway immediately, and he wanted to rush to Suzhou immediately.

It turned out that Zhu Youxiao set up two sanatoriums in Suzhou and Hangzhou in order to let himself and a group of old ministers who had worked hard for Ming Dynasty with him have a better life, so he set up two sanatoriums in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The pavilions are the main ones, while the West Lake is the main one in Hangzhou. Now Li Mingrui is living in the Humble Administrator's Garden.

Sitting in the luxurious emperor's box, Zhu Youxiao looked at the prosperity along the way and felt a lot of emotion. When he thought of Li Mingrui, he couldn't help feeling nostalgic. Ever since he crossed over to become emperor, the capable ministers and officials by his side had gone for a long time. Most of them, such as Wei Zhongxian, Xu Guangqi, Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, etc., and Li Mingrui, the veteran who has worked with him the longest and contributed the most, is about to die now, and Zhu Youxiao can't help but lament that life is short.

By the time he saw Li Mingrui in the Humble Administrator's Garden, Li Mingrui was already half dead, and looking at Zhu Youxiao, he could only mutter and call His Majesty.

Seeing him looking at him tearfully, Zhu Youxiao sobbed bitterly for a while: "Old Li, I still owe you a chief assistant, so don't just go like this, I promise you, as long as you If you can get up now, I will make an exception and directly use the emperor's order to make you the first assistant, and let Xiao Yang stand aside."

Li Mingrui shook his head and closed his eyes after saying "No".

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao could only sigh, and ordered Li Mingrui to be buried generously.

However, Li Mingrui can be regarded as the end of his life, after all, he lived for 86 years.

After Zhu Youxiao visited Li Mingrui, he also lived in Suzhou for a long time, and lived here for ten years.

And in these ten years, Ming Dynasty has started to manufacture the first aircraft, and flew across the Pacific Ocean in a very short time.

Not only that, the research of outer space has also begun to make significant progress, especially the computer system has entered the research stage, hundreds of years earlier than the original history.

During this period of time, the political competition in the empire also remained heated. Yang Tinglin retired in Tianqi 55 after being re-elected for one term.

Zhu Youxiao bestowed Yang Tinglin with the title of new capital, which can be regarded as a compliment for the development of America during his administration.

Zhang Dai went on to participate in the fourth general election for the chief minister of the cabinet, but in the end it was Gu Meisheng who had suddenly emerged as the winner.

Gu Meisheng was regarded as the first female chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, which aroused considerable public opinion in the society, but because of Zhu Youxiao's backing, Gu Meisheng still secured the position of chief assistant in the cabinet.

Gu Meisheng was also re-elected for one term, but just before the start of the Tianqi 63 election, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty suddenly issued an abdication edict, which caused an uproar for a while.

No one thought why the healthy Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty suddenly abdicated, but the emperor's order cannot be violated. People are more concerned about whether His Majesty really wants to abdicate to the crown prince Zhu Cirong, and who will be the new chief assistant At that time, the emperor and capital assistant at the highest level of Ming Dynasty will be newcomers, so what new look will the empire have.

There is no suspense that Zhu Youxiao did abdicate to Zhu Cirong, and an advisory committee was established. Yang Tinglin became the chairman of the Standing Committee. Its members are a group of veterans, including Shi Kefa who is over [-] years old.

Unexpectedly, this time the chief assistant was not Zhang Dai but Li Dingguo.

Zhu Cirong and Tianqi ascended the throne in 64, and the empire officially entered the era of Zhu Cirong and Li Dingguo.
