Daming Military Empire

Chapter 266

The successful development of Dilong not only solved the problem of difficult farming in the northwest, but also brought an unexpected joy. You must know that roadbeds must be dug when building roads, and the depth dug out by Dilong, Just right, the speed of road construction in Xicheng District has been significantly accelerated.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, uh, it seems a bit off topic, in fact, this is also the case in urban construction, usually roads are built first and then houses are built. If the roads are built faster, the houses on both sides of the road will naturally be built faster. The factories, residences, and workshops in Xicheng District sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and the onlookers were delighted to see them.

In fact, Zhu Cijiong also wanted to visit it often. Seeing a new city being born under his rule was quite fulfilling, but he didn't have time, because Ding Chouke's general examination and palace examination were about to be held.

This time, not only candidates from Daming will come to the capital to take the exam, but also candidates from North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu will also come to the capital of Daming to take the exam. Huang Daozhou originally proposed to issue an edict to all the vassal states to make them all obey the "Decree of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty" system" and sent candidates to the capital to take the exam, but Zhu Cijiong thought about it and decided to forget it.

First of all, the current situation in the capital does not allow it. Now the old city is overcrowded. Candidates from the Ming Dynasty have to ask their grandparents to tell their grandma to find a place to live. Candidates from North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu can only be wronged and squeezed into the newly built Daming College of Arts and Sciences I'm stuck, if there are more candidates, I really can't find a place for them to live. The mighty Ming Empire can't afford to lose this person.

More importantly, Zhu Cijiong knew the virtues of those vassal states of Ming Dynasty. North Korea was arguably the most obedient vassal state of Ming Dynasty. When accepting the "Daming vassal state order system", they were a little reluctant. The attitude of other vassal states It is conceivable that he does not want the envoys of Ming Dynasty to go to other vassal states to be stared at or even ridiculed.

Of course, you will have to go sooner or later, but you have to be ready before you go. The envoys of the Ming Dynasty brought the "Decrees of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty" to make those vassal states obey. This rollicking and ridicule is probably inevitable, but Zhu Cijiong wants them to I understand that there is a price to be paid for daring to wink at the envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Such things as disrespecting the envoys of the Ming Dynasty cannot be tolerated, and we must immediately send troops to show them some color!

Now Zhu Cijiong doesn't have the time, and he doesn't have the strength to deal with the issue of the vassal states, so let them be at ease for two years, and when they are free, gather the troops first, and then send people to promulgate the "Daming vassal state order system" ", if you dare to be disobedient, you will be beaten to death until you are obedient!

Huang Daozhou doesn't have time to think about this issue now. The candidates from North Korea, Dongying and Ryukyu alone are so busy that he is overwhelmed. You must know that there are thousands of candidates admitted for each subject in Ming Dynasty alone. North Korea and Dongying are not small countries. The civil service system is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, so the number of recruits is naturally not much less. The two countries together have thousands of people. As for the dozens of Ryukyu, it is nothing to add.

This time, in order to reflect the demeanor of a great country, Daming treated these candidates quite well. Not to mention that everyone arranged a single room, and all meals and drinks were included in Daming, not to mention anything else. Although the Mingwen Academy of Sciences is not smaller than the comprehensive universities of later generations, there are no dormitory buildings in the Ming Dynasty, they are all bungalows, and Zodiac Zhou is considered magnificent. Dozens of rows of dormitories are built in the garden-like campus, all of which are luxurious single rooms , but the problem is that there are only more than 500 rooms in total, which is twice the number.

In the end, it was Zhu Cijiong who gave him an idea. The whole calligraphy and painting screens were divided in the middle, and one room was divided into two rooms, so that those candidates could choose friends or acquaintances from their hometown to live together.

As for the problem of eating, it’s okay. The eating habits of these three vassal states and Ming Dynasty are similar, but these countries are relatively scarce in supplies, so the dishes are very small, and each dish is only a few mouthfuls. If it sounds good, it's delicate, but if it doesn't sound good, it's picky, extremely picky.

Daming doesn’t pick at all when it comes to food. You can eat as much as you want with just one dish. Once served, there is a large table, with an average of three or four dishes per person, until you can’t eat anymore!

In short, Huang Daozhou is willing to spend a lot of money in terms of food and accommodation. His thoughts are typical of the heavenly kingdom. He can be cruel and ruthless when dealing with disobedient vassal states. But it's so generous that it makes you feel nauseous.

How did the candidates from these countries feel after they came to Daming?This is really hard to describe. What they saw and heard along the way made them feel like they were dreaming. The prosperity of Daming had already surpassed their comprehension!
In fact, as the close neighbors of Ming Dynasty, they have heard about the prosperity of Ming Dynasty for a long time, but they never thought that a country can be so strong.

Candidates from North Korea and Ryukyu will not talk about him first. Candidates from Dongying have the deepest experience of this. They always think that Dongying is very powerful, because Dongying has four super large islands, and there are fifty or sixty vassal states. 50, how powerful this is!

However, their shogunate general Tianchuan Yuhuang suddenly paid tribute to Daming, and even agreed to cut down the army and hand over the command of the army to Daming!
To be honest, few Dongpu people can figure out this matter. What is all this for?Daming is strong, but Japan is equally strong. The famous Warring States general Toyotomi Hideyoshi once fought against Daming in North Korea. If he hadn’t passed away suddenly, the outcome would be hard to say. To a country whose strength is similar to his own No one can figure out how to become a minister and pay tribute!

However, from the moment these students set foot on the Ming battleship, they slowly began to figure out that the ships sent by Daming to pick them up were all super battleships, and the huge size alone shocked them. With such a big battleship, there are ten of them at once!
After boarding the battleship, the Ming army did not restrict their freedom, so they were lucky enough to see the configuration of this super battleship. Those who cared carefully counted, and there were hundreds of cannons on a battleship. The giant cannon on the head is even bigger than an adult. For Japan, where earthen cannons are rare, this is simply a magic weapon!
They were even more terrified when they arrived at Dongdaying. It turned out that there were hundreds of such super battleships in Ming Dynasty, and there were even three super giant ships bigger than this kind of warships quietly parked there. It was chilling to watch!

When they saw the huge Dong Daying, they were so shocked that they couldn't say anything, my god, is this still a city? There are not so many people in the largest vassal state in Dongying!
When they got on the train, their faces turned pale with fright, my god, what kind of monster is this steel monster!

When they saw the huge capital city, they were completely in admiration. There is not only one such super big city, but they can see two in a day. The power of Ming Dynasty has exceeded their imagination!
After they moved into the dormitory provided by Daming, they were already in a dream. Such a luxurious room was only a place for ordinary students to live in. The imperial palace in Dongying probably only looked like this. How rich is Daming!
