open sea

Chapter 1526
There is nothing wrong with Lu Wang, and he is quite likable in appearance, but he loves to laugh too much.

As if to show off, he would show his upper teeth and bite his lips when he saw people all day long, like a little rabbit.

"I didn't mean Wang An, why did you follow me here?"

King Lu shook his head and sighed as he walked with his sleeves swaying, turned his head and pointed at Wang An, who was following behind him, and said, "I can't do without you in Beijing, my vassal has arrived in Asia safely."

As he spoke, he flicked his big sleeves: "Go back, Second Uncle, find him a boat, send him back quickly, or he won't be able to catch up with Laba...Second Uncle, Second Uncle!"

Chen Mu in the distance turned his head, he was not used to being called by Lu Wang so suddenly, he left Juniper pushing the bicycle, came side by side with Ye Mengxiong and asked, "What's wrong with the king?"

"Find a boat and take it back to Wang An. Don't let him follow us to Chaotian Palace. He came here to spy on me."

Chen Mu knew what Wang An was doing here. The so-called surveillance was pure nonsense. It was the little rabbit who was suffering from persecution paranoia. He simply pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "It's almost here, why don't we wait until we go to the court?" Tiangong, after seeing the imperial clan university, let him go."

"It's all coming."

After finishing speaking, Chen Mu turned his head and got together with Ye Mengxiong again, discussing affairs while walking forward.

What they talked about was nothing else, the changes in the country and the current situation of foreign wars, he had learned something from the long talks between Chang Sheng and Ye Mengxiong, and now they mainly talked about iron horses and domestic steam engines.

This is also related to the positions of the two of them. This time, the two of them basically switched their official positions. Ye Mengxiong came over to serve as Minister of the East, and returned to Chen Mu to take over Beiyang.

The main business of the Eastern Military Government is not much, but it is very fragmented. Whether it is to prevent Euroyi and support the empire's war in the East, or internally digest and develop the vast land, it cannot be completed by the official position of the Minister of the East in one or two terms.

Even now, even standing on the shoulders of the Spaniards who have known the New World for decades, the Ming army still controls less than one-fifth of the land in Asia, and even the map is nearly half completed.

What Chen Mu can do is to draw the complete outline of Asia on the map, but inside the map, at least three oriental ministers are still needed to complete the details.

It is even possible that the three terms can only be said to be optimistic estimates.

However, there is no need to worry about this matter. As long as there are enough elite soldiers and two fleets that can be dispatched at any time from Changsheng to Daxigang, the three terms of the Minister of the East will not be a big problem for Ming.

For Yu Daming, this is nothing more than the difference between those who have more money than they can spend and those who have more money than they can spend.

The more important reason is that the arrival of Ming officials in Asia from the mainland is actually a kind of dimensionality reduction. It may be a little difficult to rule as a whole, but it is completely perfect for individual administrative units such as villages, towns, and towns. Downgrade.

Politics, economy, military, and even the way the common people understand the world are all far from the local, and it is too easy to manage.

It's hard to come up with a problem even if you put your heart and soul into it.

On the contrary, Chen Mu is about to take over Beiyang, and Ye Mengxiong has too many things to say.

The local changes in Ming Dynasty were too fast.

Ye Mengxiong was a little afraid that Chen Mu would not be able to accept it when he went back.

But he did not expect that the chief architect of the Ming Empire, the actual ruler of East Asia, the public enemy of Christianity appointed by Philip of Spain, the good friend of the Roman priest, the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Kingdom of Alan, the black hand who destroyed the country of Yilan, and Ferran Xibaishan The Duke's godfather can always focus on the subtleties and promote all progress.

"This iron horse is not bad, and the rubber wheels are quite strong. It would be better if they were hollow. There is still room for improvement in the material, and it won't make Lu Wang sweat profusely."

"Hollow tires are good. They can be installed on steam engines in the future, which is more portable. The railway must be repaired. The more repairs the better, even if there are more, they will be dismantled later."

"The steamship is already in use now? Well, it's much faster than I thought, but the empire's sailing warships can't stop building. The current steamship has an advantage in the middle. It has a small cargo capacity for short distances, and it has no place to replenish for long distances. .”

"This is all a trend, but for the time being, it can't really form a big change. In the future, steam engines will enter thousands of households. Your Majesty is amazing."

"As long as the empire controls coal and saltpeter, it can hold the country's fortune for 300 years."

Ye Mengxiong seemed to have seen a ghost.

He didn't forget that Chen Mu sent the design idea to Beiyang in a letter written by Chen Mu, and he didn't forget that Chen Mu first proposed the steam machine, but the problem was that Chen Mu had never seen it before.

Even before that, he had specifically asked that there are only railways in East Asia, which are the carriage rails used by Beiyang to transport goods in the early years, and there is no Huode Xingjun.

In front of him, Chen Mu spoke clearly and logically about what happened on the other side of the world and never seen before.

It was like telling him blatantly: All this is in my plan.

In fact, all of this is indeed in Chen Mu's plan. Of course, there are many things that are not planned, but the general direction is the same.

Use one advancement to advance the next, and win one to win the next.

They use completely different means from the past to obtain resources and wealth beyond people's imagination, control the direction of wealth, and let most of the resources and wealth go where they want it to go.

"Chen Shuai, tell the truth, is there anything in this world that you don't know?"

"Ye Shuai...you stopped me."

Chen Mu laughed in a joking tone, then slowly changed his expression and looked up at the Chaotian Palace and the Imperial Clan University complex built on the mountain, then shook his head and said: "I don't know much, I don’t know what will happen in a year or two.”

"It's just that if something happens, as long as it's good for the empire and it's right, I can accept it."

Iron Horse so.

Lord Huodexing is like this.

The same goes for steam powered warships.

On the other side, King Lu, with Wang An by his side, always felt a great uneasiness in his heart for no reason, and even saw the majestic Chaotian Palace without much joy.

"Wang An, tell me the truth. Brother Huang said that I will be able to go back to see Fan in just two years. Do you think I am fooling me and actually don't intend to let me go back?"

King Lu asked in a low voice, Wang An quickly shook his head, and said: "How is that possible? Your Majesty is a man of words. He promised to let His Majesty go back after two years. Did you forget when His Majesty went to sea? His Majesty was in Tianjin Port The feeling of parting, that's a smile with tears in it, you can't fake it."

"I know. I saw it. He didn't look at me. Brother Huang was so happy. After thinking about it for many years, he finally came out of Shuntian Mansion again. That's called weeping with joy."

King Lu muttered unhappily, but he also knew that Wanli couldn't bear him, so he curled his lips, looked at the tall tower next to Chaotian Palace, and said, "That's according to Zonglu, the second uncle built a tower to monitor the feudal clan, right?" ?”

"No, where are you going? Chaotian Palace is going up here. It's written on the mountain road. Why are they still going forward—"

There is a conspiracy!
Lu Wang saw that both Chen Mu and Ye Mengxiong turned around, with malicious smiles on their faces, and then he saw Chen Mu wave his hand at Wang An from a distance, and said, "Lord Lu, the Imperial Clan University is ahead, Wang An Eunuch, please declare the decree?"

Wang An's tense face along the way finally smiled, and he pulled out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, and said to King Lu, "King Lu accepts the order!"

King Lu was so scared that he bowed down on the spot.

"Feng, Tian Chengyun, the emperor, said: Zhu Yichun, I sent you to Asia, named Jiufan, in fact, to study, enter the imperial clan university, the study subjects are arranged by Chen Shuai, don't mess around, study hard, month by month Write me back, don't play around."

"Two years later, my husband will allow you to graduate, and I will send a boat to pick you up; if my husband does not allow you to graduate, I will, I will make you the lord of the Ma family."
