Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

No one thinks I know too much, is it abnormal?

No one thinks that the ancestor's dream is too false and cliche?

No one wants to refute a few words, verify that what I said is true or false?

You are all so cooperative, I really want to think that I am very successful in Flicker!

This happened so that Cui Xie himself was a little uneasy. He bit his head and told the story of the gods’ map, and said to the map of the world: “This picture is different from the one drawn by the Taixi people. In the center of the world, it is easier to find the path of Ming to the countries by looking at this map."

The emperor smiled and asked: "The **** can teach you where to cross this sea to reach the other shore? It will take months of wind and rain for a boat to travel on the sea?"

This, the geography **** (old) immortal (teacher) really said it. But since he graduated from high school, he has returned all this knowledge to the teacher. What atmospheric circulation, ocean current, high pressure zone, low pressure zone...

Forget it all, I can't count it.

Fortunately, after a nuclear accident on a certain island, there were discussions everywhere on the Internet that nuclear waste water would be carried by the Pacific Ocean current to the west coast of the United States and then recycled back to China. He remembered a little bit.

That’s enough, it’s enough for him to confidently point to the direction of the Japanese archipelago and the modern United States, saying: "The only thing the minister had gotten was this picture. But according to this picture, if you go to the sea from Ming Dynasty and go straight to the new world, you can only For fear of drifting too far on the sea and lack of fresh water, it is better to stay in Japan to supplement fresh water."

He pointed his finger to the thin strait above Japan’s main island: "If you walk from here, you can see on the map. The distance between the two continents is narrower. If you follow the undercurrent in the sea, you can easily be pushed. New World. When you come back, you can follow these two ocean currents. The circle going south is too big. It is better to bring more furs, boots and hats and come back from the north along the island chain."

It should be possible to borrow from Japan.

In the past two years, Japan has been quite docile. In the twenty-two and twenty-four years of Hongji, the Japanese Assassin from Nishikaidō and Dr. Sakyo Ouchi sent tribute to China, seeking gold medals for long-term visits to Korea.

Twenty-four years of Hongji had not passed. Zhang Sheng remembered the ceremony of the Japanese envoy to the DPRK clearly, and said in response: "Japan has been quite obedient in recent years and has repeatedly sent envoys to the DPRK. It should be feasible to borrow the way."

If there is an idea of ​​the Japanese pirates daring to fight the Ming fleet, according to the old rule of the Yongle period, "the savages of the barbarian king will turn the disrespectful and capture them; the looters of the pirates will destroy them."

Naturally, Zhang Shangshu didn't say this, but during the previous trips to Europe, the fleet was dealt with by Shanghai bandits. Needless to say, everyone knew it well. He glanced at Cui Xie encouragingly, and said to the emperor: "The minister thinks that if he wants to borrow from Japan, he should also give him a reward for his country's lord. This matter can still be handled by Cui Xie."

Hongzhi nodded, and said with a smile: "Everything about the Ministry of Rites is what Qing said. If Cui Qing has something to do with the gods, you can also scribble."

Does the emperor's attitude believe him or not? Have you seen the true face of his traverser?

Cui Xie felt his face tightened, and the back of his head was sweating slightly, but since I have already said the least things that shouldn't be said, I should mention the others. He heard from Xie Ying that day that the Jinyi guards were afraid of catching the disease overseas, and they all sought medical officers to breed human pox. At that time, he wanted to give them the prescription for vaccinia. It's just that this person is too slow to pass it on. It is better to give it to the emperor directly, and the medical officer will give the foreign team a group inoculation.

Although human pox has existed since the Song Dynasty, smallpox acne paste is too contagious. The best doctors inoculate with cooked acne powder, and three to five out of a hundred people will get sick and die; if it catches up with no cooked acne , But use "time slurry", which is planted with the slurry in the patient's pox, which is a gambling on life and death. However, cowpox infected people, at most a few days of illness, mild acne, will not be life-threatening, and the preventive effect is good.

He closed his eyes and put up the suggestion, but this time he no longer said that it was from the gods, he only said that he often eats dairy products at home. He once saw that Huihui who came to sell milk had smallpox-like pimples on his arms, but he was healthy. . A few days ago, I heard from my neighbor Xie Zhenfu that many Jinyiwei were arguing for human acne. Thinking about it, he found that his family rarely had acne, so he suspected that this acne was related to other acne.

If the medical officer can confirm, the officials who go abroad will be safer to plant, lest the envoy will not die of national affairs and die of illness.

The emperor sighed: "If it is really useful, it is also a way to save thousands of people. The tall companion wrote down the matter, and when he turned around, he asked someone to find a cow with acne, and asked the emperor to try it out."

After the court meeting, Cui Xie’s immediate boss, Zhang Shangshu, came up with him and walked on the same road for a while, and asked in a low voice, “You really got the ancestor’s dream to give the chart a chart? When you weren’t a teenager, you worshipped the old god. As a teacher?"

No, Zhang Guozhang's statement is more difficult to withstand scrutiny than his entrusted dream, so how can you believe it?

Even if a **** is born, you have to find a magnificent mountain with a good view of the cave. You can't be willing to be the **** of the tomb circle outside Jiaxiangtun, Qian'an County, right?

He shook his head flatly: "There has never been such an encounter. If I could meet a god, I would have learned Taoism long ago. When the time comes, I will walk across the tiger and climb everywhere, and the three mountains and five sacred mountains will be free and happy. Wouldn't it be better than being an official?"

Well, if you say it's not, it's not it. The reward for the Lord of Japan is also left to you.

Zhang Shangshu smiled slightly and went away freely. After leaving the left gate of Chang'an, Teacher Li came to look for him, and also asked him what happened to his ancestor's dream, and whether he met any strange people in his hometown back then.

Cui Xie smiled bitterly: "My teacher watched me grow up, how can I not know if I have ever met a fairy? If I can really get a fairy, I must first ask the fairy to enlighten me to be better than Junior Brother Zhaoxian His poetic heart, he wrote thousands of eight hundred famous poems. This picture was born in my heart somehow, but I feel that it is not my mortal being able to have a fairy relationship, it must be the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, or the hope of the natives of the New World With the blessings of the heavens and inspiring the pity of the gods and people, I used my hand to present the Shanghai map."

He looked at Li Dongyang with bright eyes, trying to show his sincerity. Teacher Li thought of the poem he had given to himself and his two sons at home, and was silent for a while, feeling that he was making a lot of sense.

Maybe it was Daming who was in prosperity. God was the only one besides Wang Zhi, Wan Guifei, Liang Fang, Wei Xing, and the three papier-mache elders... He also descended the benevolent and benevolent emperor and the wise and filial prince. Now that the court is full of talents, who is not a talented person? A benevolent commander Xie came out from Jinyiwei to discipline them. Not only did he stop framing people with lofty ideals, but he also rescued a lot of gentlemen.

God has already sent down these many righteous officials to assist the son of Da Ming, and it is no wonder that another Cui Xie is sent.

He let go of his doubts and smiled and told his disciples: "If you remember the things about going to sea, you can go to the sea. If you don't remember, you can hand it over to the navy master for preparations. You can do your best and don’t have to force it. You don’t have to mention immortals. ——In the future, the history books will not record how you have been loyal to the country, but will only record some strange anecdotes such as Yuxianji, and the reputation will not be good."

Cui Xie is now afraid of people picking up his skin, and he is not afraid of it in the history books. However, he was still a good student to the teacher. After receiving the teaching, he went back to prepare the imperial book and the reward list.

It took more than a year to prepare for the sea trip, and it was not until the 25th year of Hongzhi that this major event had to be officially launched.

This trip was violent. The fleet itself already had more than 30 nine-foot-long ships, and dozens of small boats that were sent to Japan to prepare fresh water and food for the fleet. The pirate forces from the coast of China to Japan are clear. The governor dared not come out on the island, and occasionally tried to looting a handful of Japanese boats, which were small and fast, but they were smashed by a fixed copper cannon a few miles away.

The envoy of the Ming envoy came to Japan and first granted the Mutsu feudal guard-now the Japanese general of the shogunate is Ashikaga Yoshizumi, but he is neither the head of the country nor has he ever asked for tribute to Ming. The Ministry of Rites does not consider him serious Among the officials.

Right now, I was busy going to the New World and had no time to deal with them. When the fleet returned safely, the Emperor would send a dress and a book or something to ask the suzerain country for help. They were still waiting for the Japanese lord Qingjun.

The Japanese delegation built a wharf near the Tsugaru Strait, collected drinking water and food, and asked about the monsoons and ocean currents in the offshore seas for the envoys of the New World to refer to them. In May, more than 30 new ships, which have been transformed according to the advantages of Western cargo ships, passed through the Tsugaru Strait and sailed to the New World by the Pacific Rim Kuroshio.

==============

It took more than two years to return from this trip.

When I went, the literati were fair and weak, and the warriors were handsome and handsome, but when they came back, they were much darker than when they went. He brought back dozens of black-skinned natives in Da Ming robes, among them, and at first glance they couldn't tell that they were not from their own country.

Cui Xie took the officials from the Ministry of Rites to welcome them back outside the city. When they saw the chieftain envoys, they were a little surprised and asked them whether they were local natives or Chinese expatriates who had emigrated earlier.

Nie Xian, the head of the ceremony department who presided over the award, said with a smile: "It's not our Chinese. There are many children who are local chieftains, and a few older people are elderly people from a Fan country in the south."

He introduced the names of the envoys to the dynasty one by one, their clan, and then explained: "We first disembarked in the central part of the northern continent and headed south along the coast. The richer the native people I saw, did I know that the local natives also built the country and built the city. However, they only have corn instead of wheat and rice; there are no horses, and the poor tribes are born after bison, and the rich are raised like sheep. It's like the mouth of a donkey."

The locals also spun cotton and linen cloth, as well as pottery and copperware, but I have never seen iron. The ironware that Cui Xueshi gave is much more valuable than real gold and silver. Those natives used gold, silver, and bronze for ironware, and they didn’t feel distressed. The envoys of the country were also polite to them. Although the country was poor, they tried their best to take good utensils and eat good food.

There is only one kind of dark bitter water that is unbearable, but the natives love to drink that bitter water, which is said to be refreshing. The local natives also used leaves wrapped in a kind of dried grass to **** them. After they had sucked them, they would lie down on the ground in a daze, not looking like a good thing.

He paid attention to Liu Yusheng, the supervisory official, and watched people collected the seeds and young seedlings of many local plants, but they didn't want the seeds of the charming grass.

Choi Xie knew that it must be tobacco.

Smoking is harmful to health, this label must be put on now!

When the head of the hall led the envoy, Cui Xie quickly praised Nie Xian, and by the way put a label on Tobacco that was worse than Daji: "Master Nie did a great job. You are going to sea for the royal court to bring people from far away. After searching for good materials and alien species, how can they bring it if they see something that can poison people? I think the natives do not practice farming and are not good at smelting, and this is also related to the charm and defeat of the poison."

Comrades Xiao Nie and Xiao Liu were very enlightened and performed very well. When they turned back the two handed in the travel notes, the leader Cui personally designed a big picture of the travel notes in the new world for you!

Nie Xian was so excited that his liver trembled, and he almost rushed up to hug Shi Lang Cui-I was afraid that he would push him out and didn't dare to rush. He rolled his eyes, thinking of his few boxes of logs, and couldn't wait to talk about their gentle experience.

Needless to say, the hardships on the sea road are bound to be bitter for those who went to Europa. People can bear it, and they can also bear it.

He only picks up on farming and wars that are more in line with the style of "Daily Agricultural Economics" and "Jin Yiwei": For example, how do they help small Indians build decent houses, and raise bison, alpaca, and turkey in masonry enclosures; teach those There are cities and large toasts who are good at farming, planting rice and wheat, burning cement, and making bronze agricultural tools; they also gave them several military shovel distributed by the court—

Without iron tools, farming and logging are really laborious!

There are a lot of good wood in the mountain forest, and a few people can't hug it together. You can build as many sea boats and palaces as you want; sprinkle some grain in the ground and grow it casually, and the wild fruits are many and sweet; there is a similar Sweet potatoes with yellow skin and yellow flesh, not sweet in taste, can grow in high-cold places and are extremely productive.

They all put these things on the boat and brought them back, and they would give them to the emperor after the ceremony was registered.

There is also a very strange gum. The natives use it to apply it to the cloth. When it dries, it can prevent rain. It is light, soft and extremely elastic. Some natives use it to make a racket to play. He felt that the glue might be useful at the time, so he exchanged some glue and seeds for the porcelain with the locals, but he thought about it on the way back, and he was a little worried that this thing should not be taken back—

Oil cloth and oil paper can also be used to cover the rain. This kind of gum may not be used elsewhere when it is taken back, but the small play made the whole mission play ball. He was a little worried that this gum tribute was useless, but it attracted the limelight of the palace also interested in playing ball, and he became a sinner who corrupted the emperor Shengming.

No, that's not a silly thing, it's industrial rubber that is widely used!

Among other things, bicycle wheels and rubber belts can be made! The sole made of rubber is also light, soft and non-slip, which is much more comfortable than wearing clogs on rainy days!

History will remember you, and the people will remember you!

Cui Xie excitedly patted Lord Nie, and said with a smile: "This thing is so useful, how can you just look at it as a plaything? Master Fei will study its usefulness in the future, and write an article to commemorate your efforts to bring this thing back to China. This official should also accompany you with paintings and write a book for you with your own hands. Under a thousand years, you are still the first person to set foot on the New World in China, and you must have a place in the history of youth."

Master Nie was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He covered his eyes and took a few deep breaths before slowly asking: "My sire, we are not in a hurry for our sailing pictures. There are new comic strips and pictures in "Jinyiwei on the Storm". ?"

After two years of breaking books and dramas overseas, I have to maintain the majesty of angels after going ashore in Tianjin. I am embarrassed to ask local officials for it. I really want to see the new chapter quickly!

Cui Xie was urged by his subordinates for the first time, and his mood was very complicated.

However, since he is an envoy hero, he doesn't care about this little thing! He said tolerantly: "Did you write about the memorial? How to use these overseas items and how to raise the local people? I think you guys should go back and take a bath first and get ready for memorizing. Wait for your majesty I have asked you about your experience of going abroad, and the court will give the rewards as usual. I will prepare a banquet and invite you to watch the pictures at home."

The author has something to say: a more credible view is that human pox began in Taiping, Anhui during the Longqing period. For the plot, the argument used here is that the Song Dynasty began to vaccinate.
