I'm really not doing business

Chapter 314: The envoy from Taipei returned to Beijing with only a pile of books.

Of course Kong Wenyin knew the benefits of Yan Shenggong, but Kong Wenyin really didn't want to bear this name. The break between the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect dates back to nearly 300 years ago. Nan Kong gave up his title to the Northern Sect. Since then, , Nanzong doesn’t want to have anything to do with Beizong!
If you want a regular wooden statue, I can give it to you, but if you ask me to live with your family, Nankong will never be willing.

After Beizong surrendered to Hu Yuan and revised his surrender form, Nanzong had long since disowned Beizong as a relative.

Kong Wenyin rejected the title of Duke Yan, and Nanzong's reputation immediately reached its peak. The cheap Confucianists once again praised Nanzong, even though Kong Wenyin called them dogs outside the gate of Xi'an. It’s bloody, but as Kong Wenyin said, the humble Confucians need a phantom Saint Kong held high to endorse their evil deeds, just like in the Thai and Western world, those priests always like to sideline Praying while playing like a little boy.

Zhu Yijun came to the busy June. Every June, it is the day when Zhu Yijun meets with foreign envoys, because it is the period of frequent arrivals at Daming Sea Port.

Antonio's ship docked at Songjiang New Port at the end of May. It is very regrettable that a five-masted ocean crossing ship did not survive the terrible waves of the Atlantic Ocean and sank forever in the boundless sea. But Antonio is still under Songjiang. A large order was placed to purchase a new five-masted ocean liner.

Antonio is a very experienced captain. In such waves, if it were a Spanish galleon in the past, all the ships would have been destroyed and people would have died. How could only one sink?Daming's ships have withstood the test of huge waves in terms of safety.

Antonio docked at the new port again, and there were some special people on the ship. They were the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Fan, Xu Jie's traitor, and Gao Qiyu, Zhang Juzheng's traitor. These two people took a team of more than thirty people to participate in the Taixi The Grand Tour officially returned to its homeland in June of the sixth year of Wanli.

On the fifth day of May in the sixth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty received the alliance treaty with the seal of King Anda Khan and King Shunyi. Zhu Yijun took advantage of the harsh conditions proposed by Qi Jiguang and was accepted by Anda Khan in full, lest the Ming Dynasty would seize on him for sending troops to Yingchang. , Zhu Yijun did not see Anda Khan's envoy, because it was not Mrs. Zhongshun who came to Beijing this time.

According to the information from Duntai Yuanhou, Anda Khan had fallen out with Sanniangzi due to the death of his eldest son Sengge. Although they were still friendly on the surface, they had almost reached the point where the enemies would become extremely jealous when they met. Everyone was jealous. Knowing that Sengge's death was not an accident, everyone knew that Sengge's death was inextricably related to Sanniangzi. Anda Khan also knew it, but Andahan could not break up with Sanniangzi.

The Ming Dynasty's position is very clear. The Ming court is more inclined to the reconciliation plan proposed by Sanniangzi, and is more inclined to support Sanniangzi, rather than Anda Khan, the king of Shunyi. Anda Khan is old and confused and has become unstable.

All the iron pots, salt, and tea for Anda Khan's right-wing tribes were supplied by Sanniangzi, and Sanniangzi's people were responsible for communicating with the Ming Dynasty for all the wool business on the right wing, including pricing.In order to do this, Sanniangzi even gave her sister to Chen Xuexue, the minister of Honglu Temple, so that she could open the channel for dialogue and go to Beijing to see her.

Anda Khan holds most of the military power, while Sanniangzi holds the financial power. Because of the financial power, she has obtained part of the military power and most of the political power. Mrs. Zhongshun has almost eclipsed Anda Khan. If Anda Khan Khan knew that today, he would definitely regret his lustful intentions when he conquered the Oara tribe.

Anda Khan's right wing is now in a fierce top-level conflict, like sitting on a powder keg, waiting for the day it is ignited. At this time, no one dares to move without permission. At this time, the Tuman will suffer. sweat.

The Tatar clan leader is sweating profusely, the Tumen are sweating, and the bo'er is only a pound of Tumen. Recently, he has been feeling really miserable.

In the spring, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Yingchang and built a military stronghold. Then there were signs of mobilization. Tuman Khan could only make preparations. If he continued to advance westward, he would have to fight with Qi Jiguang again. The Ming army still had to march. The news spread to everyone. After all, Tan Lun, the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, also arrived at Yingchang Mansion. As a result, the news spread all spring, and Qi Jiguang also stayed in Yingchang without moving.

The Tuman Khan had to prepare for Qi Jiguang's conquest, which naturally delayed production and life. The left wing was already fleeing famine, and life became even more miserable. In addition, in the battle of Yingchang, the number of troops and generals was lost. For a time, more and more people from the left wing were fleeing. Some fled to Ada Khan, and some fled to Datong Xuanfu. After all, Hu and Han people lived together in Datong Xuanfu. They ran in and waited for the Ming Emperor to grant amnesty to the world and become a Ming citizen.

The most outrageous thing is that he fled to Yingchang Mansion!

Yingchang Mansion was the place where Qi Jiguang was stationed in person. Did he go there and die?But nearly 2 people fled to Yingchang. Qi Jiguang and others were also a little confused. Tigers hunted on the grassland. After their prey escaped for a while, they suddenly turned around and wanted to take refuge. The tiger also had to hesitate for a while, and finally figured out the reason. It's all Hou Yu Zhao's fault.

When Hou Yuzhao was stationed in Zhangwu, the land suitable for farming was reclaimed, and the land unsuitable for farming was used for sheep herding, but sheepherders were needed. These Hu people were good at herding sheep, so Hou Yuzhao organized these Hu people into the people. Households, that is to say, by participating in reclamation, you can avoid detours and directly obtain Ming status without waiting for the Ming Emperor's pardon!

Qi Jiguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he found out the whole story, so he could only accept these people in batches.

Qi Jiguang's switch allowed people to enter the border, and Tuman Khan's life became even more miserable! !
Because more people ran to Yingchang to seek refuge, Tuman Khan suddenly lost more than [-] people. This one was guarded by the right wing and Qi Jiguang was sharpening his sword. Man Khan, with a heartbeat and a stamp of his feet, directly sent his eldest son Buyan to the capital to pay an audience. It was not so much a peace negotiation as a surrender.

Tuman Khan planned to surrender. He planned to see the surrender conditions given by Ming Dynasty. If he was not allowed to die, he would surrender directly.

On June [-], the sixth year of Wanli, Xu Fan, Gao Qiyu, Antonio and others arrived at Tianjin Wei in a hydrofoil sailboat. Taixi special envoy Legas went to Tianjin Wei to pick up Antonio and came to Beijing. On June [-], Zhu Yijun arrived in Wenzhou. In the Hua Palace, Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were announced.

The changes in the Ming Dynasty were really very big. Xu Fan returned to Songjiang Mansion and wanted to go home, but he was told that his home was gone. This frightened Xu Fan so much that he didn't know until he learned the details that he had moved. Rich families enter Beijing.

After entering Beijing, Xu Fan saw the houses stretching from Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou as far as the eye can see. The official road from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen also had its ground hardened. This bustling area The words immediately jumped into Xu Fan's mind.

Compared with the city-states we have seen in the past few years during our travels to the West, the cities of the Ming Dynasty are completely behemoths. A large city with a million people will inevitably have various problems. In order to face these new problems, the Ming Dynasty each The high-level yamen can be said to be dizzyingly busy.

Zhu Yijun only allowed Xuan to meet Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu at the first time.

"I pay homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty." Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu led a delegation of more than [-] people to the palace to pay homage.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face: "No courtesy, stay flat."

"I have returned from the West and I have some voyage notes to present, and I would like to ask your Majesty to read them." Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu each took out a heavy voyage note from their sleeves. Zhu Yijun got two notes and smelled the fragrance of ink. They are all in small regular script, in palace style, and the size of each character is almost the same. They were obviously copied later.

"Where's the original?" Zhu Yijun closed the two notebooks and wanted to see the original.

The travel notes and navigation notes of Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were sent to the capital via large sailing ships every year, so these had been copied long ago.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu looked at each other before Xu Fan bowed his head and said: "At Huitongguanyi."

"Feng Daban, go get it." Zhu Yijun wanted to see the original, so Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu had to let His Majesty see it.

When Feng Bao went to get the original, Zhu Yijun told Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu about Taixi's experiences, which included both laughter and tragedy.

A total of 30 people came back from the 30-person mission, but some came back with clothes and clothes. They encountered robbers on the way. Even the bones of those who had been cut off could not be found, and some came back with ashes. In some conflicts, , these Tiqi faithfully performed their duty of protection, but they also died in a foreign country.

Only 12 people from the entire mission returned to the Ming Dynasty alive.

"The resistance in the Netherlands was successful. Spain, known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, failed to suppress the endless resistance in the Netherlands. After a great defeat, it could only retreat to the big city and wait for reinforcements from Spain. But it is a pity that they may not be able to wait for reinforcements, because the Spanish mainland is facing threats from the Ottomans, whether at sea or on land." Xu Fan focused on the resistance movement in the Lower Netherlands.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu both stayed in the Netherlands for less than a month and immediately transferred to England. The riots in the Netherlands were really too violent and dangerous.

Large-scale iconoclastic activities broke out in Antwerp, The Hague, Utrecht and other cities. Citizens rushed into churches and monasteries, smashed all icons in sight, confiscated church property and burned churches. When they left, more than [-] churches, monasteries and inquisitions were destroyed throughout the Netherlands.

Spain's high-pressure rule in the Netherlands was achieved through the church. The church would lend a large amount of debts. These debts were the tools of annexation by the meat-eaters, and the bloody edict was also one of the sources of resistance.

The Bloody Edict refers to the belief in Calvinism in the Netherlands, which is regarded as heresy by the Holy See. All Calvinists are heretics and will be thrown into the Inquisition and executed.

Heresy is a basket, and anything can be put into it. In order to make money, these tribunals arrested few real heretics at all. Hundreds of thousands of Dutch people died for this crime.

The resistance is widespread and violent. The war in the Netherlands has been ongoing for more than ten years, but it is still not over.

"I heard on the road that His Majesty arrested Duke Yansheng and his minions and brought them to the capital. I thought that the Netherlands had learned from the past and should be dealt with decisively." Xu Fan talked specifically about the Netherlands. It was an attitude. He had just returned, My political stance was not clear, so I expressed my attitude directly after telling what I had experienced.

The Confucius Mansion in Yanzhou should be killed.

"In Aiqing's opinion, there is no difference between the Confucian Mansion in Yanzhou and the tribunal in Taixi?" Zhu Yijun asked after thinking for a moment.

Xu Fan was silent for a moment, bowed his head and said, "I am stupid and can't see any difference between them. They are all dressed like animals."

Clothing is a symbol of etiquette and power. The quality of the clothes can tell one's class at a glance. The original intention of the beast is not to curse people. It means that the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty have talents, such as the super-grade Qilin Baize, etc. The chest of a civil servant is a bird, and the chest of a military officer is a beast.

The beauty of the word "dressed like an animal" is that it criticizes the social phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty. Civil servants love money, military officers are afraid of death, bully the people, and do all kinds of evil. The people regard officials who dress like animals as "animals dressed like animals".

This word appears in "The Golden Lotus", a legendary storybook written in the sixth year of Wanli, with a total of 36 chapters.

This word is very precise.

Feng Bao returned to the Wenhua Palace with the manuscripts. These manuscripts were very messy, and even the handwriting on them was messy. Some of the inks were made of blood, because the red color was very abnormal. It was not known whether it was human blood or animal blood. Obviously, Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu didn't have a smooth life in Taixi. Even Mo couldn't guarantee it, so they had to think of their own solutions.There are still some differences between the original and the manuscript. For example, some of Xu Fan's thoughts on the Western system were not included in the manuscript. Apparently the official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the copy thought that these contents were not suitable for appearing in the Ming Dynasty.

"I brought back many, many books from Thailand, including "The Structure of the Human Body" on anatomy, "On Venous Valve" on blood circulation, "On the Movement of Heart and Blood", and "On the Development of Academics" on the study of things. There are "On Metals" and "On Mineral Smelting" about mining and metallurgy, etc." Gao Qiyu bowed his head and said.

Returning to the Ming Dynasty this time, Gao Qiyu brought nearly three thousand volumes of books, all of which he bought in Naples. These books were extremely expensive even in the local market. He sold his only official robe made of silk. Obtained later.

Anatomy of the Human Body by Vesalius.

Vesalius was born in Brussels (the headquarters of the European Union) on the banks of the Seine. He had been a court pharmacist for generations. Vesalius became very interested in the structure of the human body. For dissection, he often went to some unclaimed cemeteries in the suburbs. Stealing corpses for autopsy; and risking being caught and killed to steal the bodies of criminals from the gallows.

Finally, "The Structure of the Human Body" came out, but the Vatican did not allow this deviant book to exist because it seriously conflicted with doctrine.

For example, in mythology, men have one less rib than women, because in mythology, women are men's ribs, and "The Structure of the Human Body" clearly shows that men and women have exactly the same number of ribs;
For example, in mythology, it is said that people have a resurrection bone that is not afraid of fire and will not rot. This resurrection bone is the support of the human skeleton and is also the key to the resurrection of God after three days. "Human Structure" states that Anatomy does not support the existence of resurrection bones;

For example, both East and West believe that the heart is the place where life, emotion and thought activities occur, but anatomy has found that the brain and nervous system are the places where these advanced activities occur.

"Human Body Structure" introduces in detail the human skeletal system, muscular system, blood system, nervous system, digestive system, heart, blood circulation, brain, etc.

This book was brutally banned by the Holy See as soon as it came out, and Vesalius was sentenced to death by the Inquisition. After the Spanish royal family intervened, Vesalius was exiled and finally died on the island of Zante.

Vesalius died, but The Structure of the Human Body survived.

Gao Qiyu said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, I have always heard a legend in the West, that is, there is an ancient civilization in the vast ocean. His name is Daxi Kingdom, Daxizhou, or Atlantis. This ancient civilization The earliest civilization was destroyed in the great prehistoric flood, and there is a place called Solomon's Palace in the Great Western Country."

"And this Solomon's Palace is the Academy of Science. Under the leadership of Solomon's Palace, technology has developed rapidly, production speed has increased rapidly, people have no worries about food and clothing, and material abundance has reached the extreme. Everyone is humble and loving to each other."

"I returned to the Ming Dynasty. I heard that your Majesty had organized a place called the Royal Gwuyuan, which specializes in the infinite principles of all things. I was horrified by it."

In the West, Solomon's Palace is an illusory myth and legend, but in the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Palace of Architecture really existed, and was actually improving technology, such as water lifting, coal mining, textiles, cars and boats, etc.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I have heard of this story. Legas once peddled such a story, but it was just to secretly preach to me. I found it interesting and thought it was not a bad idea, so I did it. In fact, the Ming Dynasty There are indeed so many talents and the ability to recruit outstanding talents from all over the world to promote the research on the infinite principles of all things."

When Zhu Zaiyu first came to Beijing, Zhu Yijun had already been tempted to build a place specifically for Zhu Zaiyu to cultivate scientific talents for the Ming Dynasty. Later, in the communication between Legasi and Chen Xuehui, he said When it comes to this story, Zhu Yijun just took advantage of this excuse and willfully took advantage of the emperor's privileges to complete the construction of the Ming Dynasty Royal Palace Museum.

Now, these are all myths in Thailand and the West, but Zhu Yijun has the ability to make myths become reality.

In the eyes of a devout believer like Legaz, there is not much difference between the Ming Emperor and the Trinity. The only difference is that the Ming Emperor will not be resurrected after three days.

"I will set up a special department for you two in the Gewu Academy to translate imported works from Europe and the West. There is no need for those religious contents. I will just select some useful ones and translate them. By the way, I will confirm them with the Jieju Academy and the Gurwu Academy to ensure that Accurate." Zhu Yijun handed the pile of books in his hand to Zhang Hong.

Back then, Tang Sanzang went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he translated Buddhist teachings at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Today, Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu went to Thailand and the West for exchanges and studies, and brought back a large number of books. Many of these books were written by Antonio. There were no books brought to Ming Dynasty.

If what Antonio brought to the Ming Dynasty was Hinayana Buddhism, then what Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu brought to the Ming Dynasty was Mahayana Buddhism.

Spain and Portugal were isolated from the Grand Tour due to religious issues, which caused problems in cultural exchanges. Many books appeared in heretical places, not in Spain and Portugal where inquisitions were everywhere. .

As Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were envoys of the Ming Dynasty, they were not excluded. For example, when Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were in London, an old scholar in London was selling it, but no one was interested in it. , Gao Qiyu, based on the idea of ​​​​playing three poles if there are no dates, bought the 72-page theory of cardiovascular exercise, and the more he read, the more frightened he became!
This blood actually contains so much knowledge!

Zhu Yijun promised to give Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu a place to concentrate on translating imported works. This was to give them an identity, doctors of Gwuyuan.

Once you enter the Institute of Physics and become a doctor, you are a person who has jumped out of the Five Elements, is not in the Three Realms, and has no cause or effect.

Xu Fan is Xu Jie's eldest son, and the evil that Xu Jie committed has no causal relationship with Xu Fan. Gao Qiyu's "Shun Yi Ming Yu" in the Yingtianfu Provincial Examination, even if it is mentioned again, has nothing to do with Gao Qiyu. .

The price of joining the Gewuyuan is: from now on, it will have nothing to do with the official career. The president of the Gewuyuan is the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu. As the emperor's uncle, Zhu Zaiyu, if he has any interest in politics, Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, will definitely There is no room for Zhu Zaiyu. If the emperor's uncle of the Ming Dynasty is interested in politics, then he has the potential to rebel.

After all, as the emperor's uncle, King Zhu Di of Yan successfully rebelled.

It is also an excellent result for Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu to obtain the status of Ph.D. from the Gewün Academy. They are no longer a combination of scholars and bureaucrats, but pure scholars.

The decline of the Ming Dynasty and the collapse of rituals and music are closely related to this aspect. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not pure. They were usually highly bound and overlapped with the bureaucracy. This resulted in a terrible fact, that is, the academics of the Ming Dynasty fell into a state of decline. Stop, the bureaucracy itself is very busy. Unless you can climb to the level of a political affairs officer, the affairs officer will be busy with mundane things, how can you have time to study academics?
The place of Gewuyuan is not among the five elements, so it distinguishes the dual identities.

In fact, there was such a place before the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy. They were also responsible for the academic progress of the Ming Dynasty and the virtues of saints. However, the Doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy were unable to fulfill this function. Zhang Juzheng said that virtue comes from practicing the Tao. Yes, if you have doubts about something, you are really doing it and thinking about it. This is virtuous.

If you want to develop the virtues of a saint, you must practice. However, if the doctors of the Five Classics are very knowledgeable and have zero practice, then the virtues of a saint will stagnate.

Gewuyuan has cut off the bureaucratic attributes from the beginning. Cutting off the bureaucratic attributes does not mean complete de-administration. The doctor of Gewuyuan is a serious fifth-rank official, while the director of Gewuyuan is a serious second-rank official. The real owner is the Ming Emperor.

This means that Dr. Gewuyuan was an aide to the Ming Emperor.

The official selection system of the Ming Dynasty not only included the imperial examination system, but also the favor system, the hereditary military honors system, the inspection system, and even the appointment system. For example, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were appointed by the emperor, and they were granted the title of marquis and minister. , it is also etiquette for the elders to enter the cabinet, and the emperor must also greet them politely.

The hereditary military honors and the specially hired cabinet ministers are actually the emperor's own staff. Under the imperial system, staff are greater than officials than officials.

"I thank you for your grace." Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan once again bowed to express their gratitude. This means that as long as they do not participate in the government affairs, they will not be easily affected by the court's strife. Of course, the emperor himself has changed his gender and is not willing to continue ZTE. If the Ming Dynasty slacks off and wants to surrender, the earth-shaking strife will still affect Gewuyuan, and even Gewuyuan itself will be razed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun began to announce to Antonio, the captain of Tessie, that this time he had a huge appetite, and he seemed to be planning to set up his own business.

"Your Majesty, Antonio, pay homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty, long live your majesty." What Antonio performed at the entrance was the Ming Dynasty's ritual of five bows and three kowtows.

"Special Envoy of Taixi, Legas, pays homage to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Li Ya also performed a kneeling ceremony. He did not profess his vassalship, but dealt with it in a vague manner, and there was no grand ceremony of five bows and three kowtows.

Legas is a subject of the Spanish royal family, a believer in the supreme power of the Ming Emperor, and a renegade who broke his promise to serve the Lord without marrying for life. Without protection after his death, he will be nailed to the wall of unfaithfulness.

"I sincerely ask the wise and great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to give me a total of twelve five-masted ships to cross the ocean. I swear that these twelve five-masted ships will not aim their guns at the Ming Dynasty at any time. , I still need 6000 strong naval troops, and I beg your kind and great Majesty to agree to my humble request." Antonio knelt on the ground and said obediently.

Antonio wants so many ships and so many people for only one purpose, rebellion. He wants to be the king of Portugal. He has the support of the common people, but not the support of the nobles. The nobles control the army, and Antonio needs the support of the Ming Emperor.

"The defeat of Felipe II in the Netherlands has made your ambitions impatient." Zhu Yijun said very calmly: "I hope you can calm down. As a regicide, your ambitions have become impatient." The reign will be extremely short. Enrique the Pure is still alive, so don’t be so anxious."

"Enrique the Pure is already very old. Your Majesty, I have no time." Antonio knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The Ming Navy is very brave, but it takes time to become familiar with the battlefield in order to fight."

Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and shook his head and said: "I have already felt your anxiety. I can promise you twelve five-masted ships to cross the ocean. I can also lend you money, but I cannot promise you and give you six thousand naval troops." Soldiers."

"You said it yourself, it takes time to get familiar with combat. I don't want the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to take risks in the West. The navy is my army, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It is also the son of their parents and the father of their children. I No matter what, I can’t promise you, so the soldiers will go to Taixi to take risks.”

Antonio looked at His Majesty in silence. This greedy tyrannosaurus, in the face of huge interests, still worried about the Ming army first. He thought carefully for a long time and said: "This...please ask the Ming Dynasty to send a naval inspection. My fans are all civilians.”

"Of course it's ok, instructors are ok." Zhu Yijun agreed and sent a small number of instructors for training. Zhu Yijun could still afford the subsidy for leaving home thousands of miles away. Zhu Yijun smiled and asked: "Then, what can I get? What’s the benefit?”

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
