I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 35 Europe, from Ming Dynasty banknotes 600 years ago

The appearance of the map shocked the entire archaeological team. No one expected to find a world map on Zheng He's treasure ship.

That's right, a world map.

This will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the entire archaeological community.

This made everyone unable to calm down.

A world map from hundreds of years ago can almost rewrite the entire modern history.

A guess inevitably appeared in everyone's mind.

Zheng He's voyages to the West may not only be the West. If this world map is true, it means that Zheng He must have reached Europe and even the Americas.

The discovery of the New World is no longer Europe, but China and Ming Dynasty.

The impact of such a result can be imagined.

This made the archaeological fleet even more excited.

The progress of the interruption has undoubtedly accelerated further.

Along with salvage.

More information was found in the treasure ship.

What shocked the archaeological fleet even more was that this ship seemed to be a trading ship, and its goal seemed to be Europe.

"Europa!"

"Europe!"

"They're heading to Europe!"

The old man murmured to himself, looking at the pieces of silk in front of him with an expression of shock and disbelief.

As the interruption continued, they undoubtedly discovered new words again.

This is also a piece of silk hidden in a wooden box.

Its owner seems to be just a record, and it seems that the material is not only silk, but also has a good seal in order to avoid being eroded by sea water for a long time at sea.

Because of this, the archaeological team used this piece of silk to vaguely see the scene of Zheng He's voyages to the West hundreds of years ago.

In the silk, this is the record of a loyal and brave captain.

It records in detail the scenes of their journey westward.

Among them, the customs and culture, there are also scenes of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

"Exchange department stores for food from the South Seas, and talents from the West!"

The old man murmured to himself, his eyes fixed on the words on the silk, and he felt his breathing become heavier.

You must know that among all historians, it is well known that Zheng He's voyages to the West were just to promote the country's prestige, and at most one more person was added to find Emperor Jianwen.

But this piece of silk made him see another purpose of Zheng He's voyages.

Get goods.

That's right, to get the goods.

The Ming Dynasty's fleet would bring Ming Dynasty's commodities to the Southeast Asia in exchange for enough food, and to the West in exchange for enough gold and silver.

"I see!"

The old man muttered to himself, at this moment he finally had a clear understanding in his heart.

He finally understood why during the Yongle period, even though Zhu Di fought every year, Daming's finances still did not have any problems. On the contrary, during the reign of Prince Zhu Gaochi, Zheng He's voyages to the West were stopped and financial problems occurred. reboot.

But later Zheng He's voyages to the West were stopped again, and Ming Dynasty's finances ran into problems again.

If Zheng He's voyages really brought back a lot of wealth from Nanyang and the West, Yongle would naturally be able to form a prosperous age, and even Yuwei could give birth to the rule of benevolence and propaganda.

It all seemed to make sense.

At this moment, the old man seemed to feel that he had discovered a new continent, and one after another conjectures appeared in his mind, which made his whole body filled with excitement and excitement.

And soon more archaeological discoveries will undoubtedly prove his point.

In addition to the treasure ship, a large amount of supplies were found in several small boats.

There are even a lot of gold and silver jewelry among them.

Obviously, these were traded all the way from the West.

This made the old man and the archaeological fleet more excited and moved faster.

And at the same time that the Cape of Good Hope had a major historical discovery.

Continental Europe.

An archaeological site has also been discovered.

This is located in the port of Naples.

As a port that has appeared since the Middle Ages, the port of Naples is undoubtedly extremely prosperous.

Originally, this time it was the demolition and renovation of an old building.

However, during this kind of demolition and reconstruction, a site hundreds of years ago was accidentally discovered.

This immediately alarmed the official archaeological team.

Soon archaeologists came in to conduct excavations and surveys.

As for this survey, the archaeological team on the European side soon fell into surprise.

Because this turned out to be an auction house.

"My God, this is 600 years ago!"

"This, this is?"

"Hey, there is actually silk here!"

There were exclamations of exclamation among the archaeological team, and everyone couldn't help being excited.

The auction held 600 years ago may contain something of great value.

At this moment, the expression of the European archaeological team is almost the same as that of Huaxia in the Cape of Good Hope.

until.

A piece of damaged white paper appeared, and the entire archaeological fleet couldn't help being stunned.

"This is Chinese characters?"

A white man looked at the white paper in front of him that had been corroded by mud and 600 years of time, with a dazed expression.

As he has been to China several times for exchanges, he is no stranger to Chinese characters. Even though this piece of white paper has been corroded with many holes and the handwriting is extremely blurred, he can still clearly see that it is Chinese characters.

And this can't help but make him stunned, and he can't react for a while.

This is a site 600 years ago, how could Chinese characters appear.

But after being dazed, he quickly began to conduct tests.

Soon after the carbon fourteen test, this piece of white paper was impressively 600 years ago.

And the text on it has also been translated.

"consistent!"

The white man chewed the word involuntarily, and looked at the information in front of him involuntarily.

"A rope wears money, and every thousand coins is consistent!"

Looking at the text, the white people at this moment can't calm down at all.

Because this turned out to be a banknote from China 600 years ago.

Such information made it hard for him to imagine, but it seemed to be the truth.

Whether it is the detection of carbon fourteen, or the follow-up archaeological discoveries, it seems to prove this point.

But how is this possible.

How did the currency of Ming Dynasty appear in Europe 600 years ago? It appeared here.

The Cape of Good Hope and European archeology are in shock.

It's just that the news still needs to be fermented and spread. At this moment, no one knows about it. At this moment, Jiang Chen is content to sleep through the night.

It wasn't until the afternoon sun shone that he slowly woke up from the bed.

"It was really comfortable to sleep!"

"If only it could always be like this!"

Jiang Chen sighed and shook his head involuntarily.

He also knew that he was decadent for the period of time, and then he still had to find a job.

Of course, that's something that will happen later. During this period of time, he doesn't plan to continue looking for a job. He will rest for a few months before talking about it.

After stretching for a while, he got up to wash up, made himself a noodle, and started to eat his breakfast in the afternoon.
