The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 662 Xu Xiake

The son-in-law of Wei Guogong's younger sister is the king of Qiongya County, who has great power in the government and the public. He currently holds a large army and forms his own system overseas.

Now he is married to the world-famous Baiganbing, and his involvement in Sichuan is just around the corner.

Xu Hongji has been in the officialdom for decades, and weighing the pros and cons has formed a conditioned reflex.

What does the nephew and son-in-law intend to do in the future?Duke Wei's family has been able to survive for more than 200 years. Of course he understands that betting on both ends is beneficial to the family.

Wu Xiang was really talented, and he did a good job. Huang Sheng was very satisfied and sent many gifts to the two matchmakers.

At the banquet to thank the two matchmakers, Huang Sheng met Xu Youkuan, the chief steward of Wei Guogong's mansion who followed Wu Xiang and Zhou Kui to "Nanhua Island" again.

He introduced more than a dozen Nanzhili talents recommended by the young master like a treasure, and Huang Sheng immediately rewarded Xu Youkuan with a gold pocket watch to affirm his deeds.

Huang Sheng, a dozen or so talents who had a banquet together, is not very well known. Only one person, Huang Sheng, has long admired his name. Of course, he was not in the Ming Dynasty but in later generations.

He is Xu Hongzu or Xu Xiake.

Not only did Huang Sheng have a good chat with several talented people, but he also stepped down from the main seat to toast Xu Youkuan.

Xu Youkuan is nothing more than a servant of the Duke of Wei, and he was so excited when the king of Qiongya County toasted him. He said that there are so many talents in Southern Zhili.

Xu Hongzu, who likes to travel around the world, was criticized by the king of Qiongya County, and he was convinced.

Because he has long known that he can't talk about traveling the world, the world is big, and there are too many places overseas that he has never been to.

Crossing the ocean this time made Xu Xiake realize how big the world is and how small he is.

At the banquet, Huang Sheng offered to buy the notes he wrote during his travels with 1000 silver coins, and asked him to take these silver coins to settle down at home, and then set off again to try to really travel all over the world. will buy.

Xu Xiake was very excited when he learned that King Qiongya was going to publish his travel notes.

Huang Sheng strikes while the iron is hot and tells that it is Xu Hongzu in his dream that he is about to publish a revised book based on his notes called "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes". How many volumes will be published in the end depends on how many notes he can write.

It is the dream of all scholars to write a book. The slovenly Xu Hongzu cried. Unexpectedly, after spending half his life, he finally met a bosom friend. He knelt down reverently and kowtowed to Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng quickly helped the great talent up, told him that his own system is not good at kneeling, and also told all the newcomers that no man in the Huang family system has weak legs, and they do not kneel when they meet officials, and women are not allowed to bind their feet.

The words were speculative, and the king of Qiongya County did not put on airs, so all the talents spoke freely.

Later they heard that the fleet of "Huaxia Development" planned to start a round-the-world tour in the first month of next year, and they immediately expressed their willingness to spend silver coins to buy tickets to participate in this trip.

Not only did Huang Sheng not want them to spend money, but he also told He Xiang to arrange twenty part-time student bodyguards and health doctors to accompany Xu Hongzu and others on a round-the-world tour.

Chu'er was overjoyed to have another son. She was born in a famous family, not only virtuous but also know how to balance.

Knowing that the master is about to marry Bai Ganbing, Chu'er didn't complain, and she started to make troubles as the hostess, and decided to take Ling'er to Nanjing to make arrangements, and then took a passenger ship northward to uncle Wei Guogong's house in early July.

Ling'er was a little unhappy, because she gave birth to a daughter. In this era, mothers are more expensive than children, and it is useless to have more daughters.

Fortunately, the master is not partial, he loves his son and daughter equally, and the gifts he gives are not different from each other.

In the next few months, there will be countless talents from Ming Dynasty in "Nanhua Island". In the end, there will be more than [-] people who are planning to take part in the global tour together.

The merchant ships and warships that went to Europe went back and forth twice, and the fleet that went to South America only returned home.

Hu Jianya and Wu Youxing blushed. They fulfilled their mission and found a large number of cinchona trees. They were not polite at all. They collected all the tree species they could find, dug up the roots of the trees they saw, and cultivated them with soil. Strive to survive the transplant.

The Han people have Cinchona Cream, and the chronic disease of malaria will be eradicated just around the corner.

In history, Kang Mazi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was almost beaten to death. Later, because of the luck of the colonist, two Xiyi missionaries knew that cinchona cream could cure malaria.It happened that some of the missionaries carried this medicine in large quantities.

Everyone knows the final result, Kang Mazi did not die, and the Han people were colonized by slaves for more than 200 years.

Kang Mazi knew that Xiyi's medicine could save lives, why didn't he know how to buy other people's sharp firearms, buy other people's strong ships and guns to strengthen national defense?Why not learn other people's advanced knowledge?

Such an idiot not only did not learn the leading technology of Xiyi, but also burned the technology tree of the Han people. This Tunguska savage is still an emperor through the ages, what a fucking shame!

Finding rubber trees and tapping rubber is not a problem. I found them on the day I came to South America, because there are Western colonies throughout South America. At this time, the Spaniards and Portuguese almost controlled South America.

Speaking the language is of course easy to do, and there is no need to find a guide. The Spaniards volunteered to lead the way after getting paid.

The trade agreement signed by the declining Spain and Huang Sheng is the first order of this country's overseas colonization. Of course, it is purely pediatrics that the order of a great country becomes the first of a European country. The declining Ming Dynasty also belongs to the ranks of the world's advanced countries in this era. .

The Chinese civilization has maintained the number one position in the world for no less than 2000 years. It was only after being reduced to a slave colony in modern times that it became the sick man of China and East Asia that everyone despises.

Even the little pirates who have looked up to the Chinese civilization for thousands of years dare to bully the braided country, thinking that the Japanese country is the orthodox Chinese, and the Manchus are just ignorant barbarians with pigtails.

There are hundreds of missionaries in Spain working in the Huang family's territory, and there is no hostility to Ming Dynasty.

The Spaniards, coveted by too many rising powers, especially want to find powerful allies, and Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly a thigh they are willing to hug tightly.

They provided assistance to the Daming Yuanhang fleet as partners, so Huang Mingdao's trip went smoothly, but it took too long, it took eight months.

When the fleet returned to the voyage, a large number of rubber tree species, [-] mature rubber trees and [-] saplings were loaded.

This new species will cross the ocean and come to "Nanhua Island" and Hainan Island to take root. This will definitely succeed, because this is how the rubber plantations in Southeast Asia started in history.

Of course, trade will not be ignored. Huang Mingdao loaded hundreds of merchant ships with the output of the Spanish copper mines in South America, and more than 300 unarmed merchant ships from the Spaniards and other small countries were also hired to participate in the transportation.

Nowadays, the sea is turbulent, and the success rate of unarmed merchant ships is getting lower and lower.
