Daming heir

When did the West start to cross the chasm of the times from the chaos of shit and urine to reach the pinnacle of the world?

Over the past countless years, Zhu Yunxi has been thinking about this issue.

now.

He roughly figured it out.

It was the Central Plains people who went west again and again, spreading the mysterious and rich Eastern mythology to the West.

Beginning in the Song Dynasty, nomads on the grasslands brought knowledge and books from the Central Plains to the West during their conquests.

In the previous hundred years, plus the current hundreds of years, the Central Plains has accumulated and inherited 5000 years of rich history, which has been continuously stolen to the West.

Knowledge is a very serious matter.

Taking the Central Plains as an example, every time a new dynasty was established and a new implementation was implemented, it was a new leap in society.

It can be inferred from this that when a society is in chaos and separation for a long time, the politics, economy, military and science of the entire society cannot have long-term development.

Then.

How could the West, which was far more chaotic and even weaker than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, develop a world hegemony that would dominate the world for hundreds of years in such a situation?

The distant and mysterious East is like a dragon falling from the sky, lying on the earth in pain, leaving those in the West who still live in chaos and disorder, with such a glimmer of hope. An opportunity to quietly nibble away.

But no one has ever dared to say outright that everything at that time was fake.

Because the establishment of a system cannot be broken without absolute power.

There are many external enemies and they are powerful.

At the same time, there are also many enemies inside.

But everything is traceable.

Zhu Yunxi also believes that one day the truth will be revealed.

but.

Those are no longer things he should consider now.

Now, as the emperor's grandson of the empire, Zhu Yunxi only needs to ensure that in this world, Dongfang will always stand on top of the world and suppress all ethnic groups outside the empire.

Then all disasters will be avoided.

"Da Ming does not have to occupy new lands, but Ming must figure out what this world is like."

Zhu Yunxi came to a decisive conclusion.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

Zhu Gaochi also nodded and said: "If you say so, we can let Brother Wen and Sun Cheng take people to take a trip to the strait."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but then shook his head: "Not only the strait, nor the land across the strait. I am going to issue an edict from Taisun to inform everyone in the world."

The Taisun's teaching order was promulgated to the world.

Zhu Gaochi became interested, with a curious look on his face.

Zhu An (Shunan King Abu) followed the two of them silently, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.

Fortunately, he surrendered to Ming Dynasty quickly.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have died in Hulun Lake by now.

In the future, he will enjoy all the glory brought by the empire as King Shun'an of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and explained: "Let the world know that anyone who goes to sea or passes customs and sees unknown places in the Central Plains should record their ethnic groups, population, features, resources, etc., and bring them back to the Ming Dynasty, and the court will reward them generously." "

Westerners could find the New World with only a few broken ships.

It makes no sense that the Ming Dynasty, which has a huge fleet and countless civilian-owned ships, cannot find those unknown lands.

What do those broken ships of the West count in today’s Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yunxi thought about it carefully.

Probably not even able to enter the logistics and supply camp sequence of the Ming Navy, let alone become the main combat ship of the Ming Navy.

As for comparing it with those private sea-going ships?

He thought about it seriously again.

Before he left Beijing and headed north, he had heard that the group of meritorious maritime operators, led by the Prince of Zhongshan, had increased the carrying capacity of the flagship to [-] tons.

There are even rumors that the Royal Palace of Zhongshan is discussing with the cabinet and the Ministry of Industry whether the court can liberalize the construction and ownership of seagoing ships with more than [-] pieces of materials.

It is not just the Ministry of Industry that has the best craftsmen in the world.

There are also countless skilled craftsmen under the names of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and others.

There are even rumors that as long as the imperial court can release the carrying capacity of private sea-going ships, they can build sea-going ships worth tens of thousands of materials.

Unprecedented cargo capacity.

Mingren has begun to show a very different style from the past.

Use the power of the country to explore today's world.

Zhu Yunxi even imagined that one day in the future, Ming Dynasty ships exploring new overseas lands would encounter Western ships on the ocean.

There is probably no need to launch an attack.

As long as the hull presses over.

The so-called warships of Westerners can only sink to the bottom of the sea.

Can the descendants of a group of pirates really build a whole new world on their own?

Zhu Yunxi spoke again and reminded: "Send a message to Jiang Wei and ask him to prepare manpower. Anyone who goes to sea or customs will strictly check what they bring with them."

Zhu Gaochi immediately took over the words: "All books and texts must not come out of the Ming Dynasty? If this is the case, do you need to remind Jiang Wei again that those who obey the orders of the emperor must have people with royal guards around them to follow them secretly?"

"can."

Zhu Yunxi replied calmly.

The three were silent for a while.

Behind them, in the direction of Daqing City, herdsmen and Ming people were building day and night.

Outside the city, there are also construction tasks.

It is impossible for a Daqing City to accommodate everyone.

As the political and military center of the Beikong Grassland in the future, Daqing City will inevitably station a large number of Ming troops, numerous government offices, and their extended subsidiary government agencies.

And now that Daqing City has a population of nearly 20 people, it is certainly impossible for everyone to be crowded into the city.

The road is straight, even the corners are made at right angles.

Villages everywhere are square and square without any deviation.

The area near the river has been reclaimed as paddy fields, and it still has a square shape.

Under Daqing Mountain, almost everything visible to the naked eye is straight and square.

Beyond the river is a vast pasture.

However, even here, it is considered that wooden fences are used to divide square pastures, which are used by herdsmen to drive cattle and sheep to rotate pastures to ensure that the grass in the pastures can grow stably.

A few people were walking on the flat road outside the city, and from time to time they would meet herdsmen and people who were busy doing work.

These people are often just a little surprised, then stand respectfully at a distance and salute, and then continue to do the work at hand.

Construction is always a joyful thing.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "I need to tell Zou Xueyu and ask him to find some experienced people in Yingtian Mansion to see if he can get some workshops in Daqing City.

If it doesn't work in Daqingcheng, then build a workshop in Datong or Xuanfu.In this way, the North can also have some foundation, and we will see if we can use this to pull it up in the future. "

What happens in Yingtian City is always distant and slow in Daqing City.Whether it is Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Gaochi, they still don't know that the Yingtian magistrate Zou Xueyu they talk about is about to take office as the powerful governor-general of Zhili.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and wrote down what Zhu Yunxi ordered.

Zhu Yunxi turned to Zhu An and said: "Tell the herdsmen that the imperial court will purchase the cattle and sheep they raise. But Daqing City needs to find a way to ensure the freshness of beef and mutton for a long time, so that Daqing City can The beef and mutton produced in Qingcheng and the grasslands are sent to Yingtian City.

The common people may not be able to eat meat every day, but the soldiers in the army must ensure it.The imperial court once again issued an order to build more local schools for the children of the common people to study. In places like these, more meat is still needed.

Only if our children in the Ming Dynasty grow stronger can we ensure that they will not be like the former Song Dynasty in the future.When the people are strong, the country is strong.When the people are knowledgeable, the country is knowledgeable. "

Zhu An seemed to have already responded to this.

I saw him speaking in a deep voice: "My ministers have also discussed with the herdsmen before, and are planning to build an ice cellar that can be pulled by a carriage. It may be improved by then, and the beef and mutton from the north can be transported to the south to keep it fresh."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi looked curious.

Zhu An smiled and said, "This is the method from His Highness. Your Majesty is going to use saltpeter to continuously make ice on the way to maintain the temperature in the ice cellar on the carriage.

As for the ice cellar, it is filled with cotton inside and outside.The ministers and others discovered that this cotton can not only keep warm, but also keep cold. It should be possible to use it here.

It's just that it's still being tested, and the distance can only be about a hundred miles, and it needs to continue to be improved. "

Isn't this the kind of summer mobile popsicle vending bucket I saw a long, long time ago?

Seems like a feasible way.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "If that doesn't work, you can dry it in the sun or pickle it."

After all, there are thousands of miles between Daqing City and Yingtian City.

It was impossible for Zhu Yunxi to force Zhu An and others to transport fresh beef and mutton to Yingtian City.

however.

Just at this time.

Zhu Gaochi on the side looked at the two of them as if they were fools.

"Why can't you rush the living cattle and sheep to slaughter outside Yingtian City? In this way, wouldn't it be the freshest beef and mutton?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi shook his head with confusion on his face.

A gust of wind blows.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu An looked at each other.

They would never admit that they had just acted like a fool debating how to keep beef and mutton fresh.

"It's so blue today!"

Zhu An looked up at the sky and sighed.

Zhu Yunxi nodded in agreement: "It would be great if my old man and father could come and take a look."

Zhu Gaochi sniffed, looked at these two fools, and said hesitantly: "But if you drive cattle and sheep to Yingtian, you have to pay attention to the road and make sure that the cattle and sheep don't lose weight while walking.

But after leaving the customs, there is little pasture in the south. This is not the best way, but it can only ensure the freshness of the meat. "

It's time to show that you are not a fool!
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "As long as you plant grass on both sides of the official road along the way, let the postmen choose places to plant grass! Choose places with many rivers and sufficient water sources. In this way, you can always try to ensure that the cattle and sheep going south will not starve and become thin. ”

Things that can be solved manually are unlikely to become difficulties and troubles.

In the Battle of Hulun Lake alone, the number of soldiers reported from the front line who could no longer serve in the army due to injuries exceeded 5000.

These are serious injuries.

Next, according to the rules of the past few years, they will naturally be arranged in batches to go to official inns or government offices in various places.

As for those soldiers who were injured but did not necessarily have to retire from the army, people from the tax office would come to screen them and then go to the tax office to become glorious tax soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and collect taxes for the country.

Building a southward official road full of pasture was just a matter of words for Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, but finally closed it silently.

After all, there is almost no fault with this method.

However, Zhu Yunxi sighed: "The best way is to have a direct railway from Daqing City to Yingtian City. As long as the train is loaded with forage, it only takes about ten days to pull the cattle and sheep there." Go to heaven."

Juan blinked, his face full of curiosity.

This was the first time he heard that it only takes about ten days to get from Daqing City to Yingtian City.

If we expedite [-] miles, we can still make it there.

But if you are driving thousands of cattle and sheep, then such a time can only be described as a miracle.

Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi suspiciously.

"Do you want to go to court and agree with Xie Jin's proposal?"

After finishing speaking, his eyes were locked on Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, noncommittal.

"The Ming Dynasty needs to find new land and grasp the true appearance of this world. But we must not forget that many of the inherent old lands are still lost."

Ming Dynasty needed the Western Regions.

Just like...

Yep.

Just like people need to eat and drink water.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's frown, Zhu Yunxi knew that the other party probably did not agree with the construction of the direct railway to Hamiwei now.

He explained softly: "Da Ming is now in need of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so it is temporarily relieved.

As long as Zhang Ergong and others are given some time, the people's houses will not collapse because of a rain.

Traveling, including cement roads, railways, etc., is very different from the past. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day.

But what about clothes?

I can’t say that everyone in the Ming Dynasty will be able to afford silk and satin in the future. "

This is really a fantasy.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

This is impossible.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Although the Western Region is bitterly cold and full of Gobi desert, it has unique and superior conditions. It will become the best cotton planting land.

As long as the imperial court can plant enough cotton in the Western Regions, it can produce more cotton clothes for the people all over the world. "

Little rain and plenty of sunshine.

The Western Regions are not just for growing cotton.

You can also grow many other things.

As long as those who go to sea and go out of customs can bring back all kinds of novel species.

Zhu Yunxi believed that the Western Regions would become a Western Region that the world had never seen before.

Zhu Gaochi was still a little hesitant.

He hummed twice.

"Let's wait until our class teacher returns to Beijing before we talk about this matter."
