Chapter 430: If you don’t fight for the sword, you will fight for the fish
Generally speaking, the empire has passed the dangerous period of doubting the country, so the heroes who have maintained the stability of the country and the country should retreat bravely. If they don’t retreat, they will Death has always been like this.
But the pair of emperors and ministers Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng are different from the emperors and ministers of previous dynasties. The main reason is that the general trend is different. At present, the Ming Dynasty is transforming from a land power to a land and sea power. Zhu Yijun needs Zhang Juzheng to continue to assist, and the Ming Dynasty also needs Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun knew his goal very clearly. Before the Ming Dynasty became great again, Zhu Yijun would not allow anything to happen to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong. This guy has only done one thing for so many years, that is, whatever the emperor says, he has even formed an obsession. When Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong to protect Zhang Juzheng, This means that the imperial edicts covered with the Ming Emperor's seal will be invalid unless Zhu Yijun himself orders it.
Zhu Yijun said it to everyone, including himself.
Luo Sigong selected twenty Tiqi, and after arriving at the Quanchu Guild Hall, he immediately went to the capital camp. Qi Jiguang mobilized 180 sharp soldiers to form the Yicheng Bofu Tielin Army. One hundred and eighty elite soldiers needed to go through the formalities. The transfer of more than a hundred people required the Ministry of War, the General Soldier of the Beijing Camp, and His Majesty's approval to complete the transfer. It only took half a day for these elite soldiers to arrive at the Quanchu Guild Hall.
Zhang Juzheng was working at Wenyuan Pavilion and had posted all the memorials delivered today on his own stamps. Before he returned home, he saw Luo Sigong waiting in front of Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Meet Yuan Fu." Luo Sigong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty sent me to protect your safety."
"Luo Qianhu is so polite." Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Sigong and was confused for a moment. Zhang Juzheng knew this man's character very well. He always thought that His Majesty trained Luo Sigong specifically to protect the emperor's own safety.
But now Luo Sigong stood in front of him.
Zhang Juzheng knew Zhu Yijun too well. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. Obviously, the emperor’s usual respect was not the emperor’s intention. When Luo Sigong was around Zhang Juzheng, even the method of falsely transmitting imperial edicts would become ineffective. Because Luo Sigong did not recognize the imperial edict, he only recognized His Majesty.
"You should go back to protect His Majesty." Zhang Juzheng felt that this shadowy figure should stay by His Majesty's side, so that His Majesty would be safer. Even if he is gone, with His Majesty's presence, the Ming Dynasty's New Deal will still be there.
Luo Sigong said very stubbornly: "Your Majesty asked me to protect you, and whatever your Majesty says will be whatever you say."
Zhang Juzheng gave up persuading, this man accepts death, not his eloquent tongue It can be deceived.
Luo Sigong's protection is very professional, much better than that of the servants of the Quanchu Guild Hall. He arranges travel, personnel screening, hidden dangers, food inspections, etc. In the hands of the professional Luo Sigong, these are all arranged extremely well. Well, take the troubleshooting of hidden dangers as an example. The place where Zhang Juzheng spent the most time was Wenchang Pavilion. However, there was no lightning protection in the study. Tiqi and his people had to arrange it, and some fire hazards in the house had been eliminated one by one. exclude.
Luo Sigong even found a few spies from his servants. These spies were mainly inquiring about information about the Quanchu Guild Hall, but at critical moments, they might become a sharp knife for assassination.
Luo Sigong's investigation method is very simple. His Majesty's method of reporting each other. There is no eye on the box these days to see who is informing. Anyone who provides clues can get rewards. Here After this kind of report was revealed, Tiqi knew who was interested in whom among the servant and the maid.
After Luo Sigong arrived at the Quanchu Guild Hall, the security of the Quanchu Guild Hall was raised to the same level as Tonghe Palace.
Zhu Yijun was reading a memorial written by Wan Shihe, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites. The content of this memorial was about the transformation of Nuer Gandusi.
Gang: Blockage, Ganghua means that the Ming Dynasty gradually lost control of Nuer Gandusi.
This memorial is quite professional, and Wan Shihe starts from the 10th year of Jiajing.
In the tenth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing decreed that during the Yongle period, Wu La, Nur Gan and other places issued orders and combined guns, arrows and upgraded official flags to still attack. After the first year of Hongxi's reign, all military services were reduced.
The commanders, commanders, and official flag descendants of the Nuergandusi who were recruited during the Yongle period are still hereditary, but the captive chiefs who were recruited after the first year of Hongxi are all deprived of their hereditary rights.
The reason why Emperor Jiajing made such a decision is that since Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, Nuer Gandusi began to change.
What exactly happened? Due to the lack of sufficient historical materials, Wan Shihe could only infer from the "Yongning Temple Records", "Reconstruction of Yongning Temple Stele", Taizong Records, Xuanzong Records and other contents.
Wan Shihe deduced that after the death of Emperor Chengzuwen Zhu Di, a rebellion of a certain scale occurred in Liaodong, which caused the Ming Dynasty to lose control of Nuergandusi. The rebels even broke through Yongning Temple, and then there was The thing that triggered the rebellion during the reconstruction of Yongning Temple was tribute tributes like Haidongqing.
During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty asked for twenty sea greens every year, and the Nuergandu division had to capture at least fifty sea greens to prevent them from dying suddenly on the road and unable to complete the tribute. This sea greens It is really difficult to catch. It is a fast-flying bird of prey and is known as the God of Eagles. Birds like Haidongqing are also symbols of divine birds in Liaodong and Nuergandusi, and are the messengers of the Mother of Gods.
When Zhu Di was still alive, he did not dare to act rashly due to Zhu Di's force. After the news of Zhu Di's death reached Nuergandusi, the local dissenters immediately took advantage of Haidongqing's belief and the labor pains of capturing Haidongqing to arbitrarily stir up the people and set off a rebellion.
This is not Wan Shihe’s unfounded intention. Wan Shihe also cited the past events of the rise of the Jin Kingdom and the destruction of the Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Aguda gathered all the Jurchen tribes, captured the Liao Kingdom’s shielding eagle officers, and raised troops to destroy the Liao Kingdom. It is said: The Liao and Jin Dynasties provoked Haidongqing, and the jade claws were named Eagle and the tribute stopped for a long time.
The labor of capturing Haidongqing was extremely hard. In the Qing Dynasty, the savage Jurchens still had to capture Haidongqing and send them to the palace, and even caused a rebellion.
The purpose of this memorial written by Wan Shihe is mainly for one thing, that is to tell His Majesty that the people north of Liaodong did not obey the Ming Dynasty until the first year of Hongxi 170 years ago. For a long time, the Haixi Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the Savage Jurchens have been barbaric and untamable, and their gentle policies are just feeding tigers. How the Ming Dynasty lost its slave Gandusi, it should be how to get it back with its own hands.
This memorial is very professional, with extremely extensive and detailed citations, clear arguments, and evidence supported by inscriptions and historical records. It is logically rigorous and reasonable. It systematically discusses the phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty losing its slave Gandusi. In the process of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty made mistakes in decision-making and made various mistakes in the process of becoming a king. Simple military restraint could not form effective rule and stable border security.
Wan Shihe's memorial was written in the name of the Minister of Rites. It was not the work of him alone. It was a common understanding among many officials in the Ministry of Rites who studied etiquette.
The Ming Dynasty had completely lost interest in tributary states and vassal states, and even had very clear doubts about the function of the simple Ji Xuanweisi.
Jisui has no use!
Only counties and counties with solid soil, that is, garrisoning, collecting taxes, arranging people to register households, and rolling cars on the same track and writing the same text, are the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As the Ming Dynasty continued to open up the sea, it also became more conservative. The Ming Dynasty had lost the little trust it had in the Fanyi. The tributary countries and vassal countries were just enemies with different names. It has no practical effect on the security of the Ming Dynasty's maritime borders and borders. The diplomatic ideas of cultivating Wende and Rouyuan are being abandoned. Only by truly reaping the benefits can we be full.
Wan Shihe's editorial is of great significance and the content is extremely detailed, but not many people can read it from beginning to end because his writing is too professional.
Zhu Yijun quite agreed with this change. He thought about it and wrote eight words in this memorial: If it is not a sword, it is a fish.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty accurately refined the content of Wan Shihe's lecture and made a concise and concise summary. This is the basic principle of international competition in the current great debate of the Ming Dynasty, which is the same as the traditional Confucian etiquette. All views are completely contradictory, and more like promoting a kind of "violence of the weak" theory.
“Your Majesty’s summary can be said to be penetrating, penetrating, to the point, and to the point!” Feng Bao had read Wan Shihe’s memorial. He felt dizzy after reading it. There were too many words, and he wrote five thousand words eloquently. , His Majesty summed it up in just eight words.
If you want to avoid being ripped off, you have to become a carnivore.
"You know how to flatter me." Zhu Yijun sneered and continued to review the memorial.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month of the ninth year of Wanli, the day before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo secretly hid in the Zhaixing Tower to watch the Aoshan Lantern Festival and the Aoshan Lantern Festival. If Zhu Yijun showed up, If so, you need to reward money according to the ancestral law.
"Husband, I had a chat with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li. Their heart problems are actually easy to solve. Having a child is enough. My mother said that she would choose two more concubines to enter the palace. Why don't we wait until Concubine Liu and Concubine Li are pregnant?" Wang Yaozhuo looked at the emperor's sneaky appearance and found it funny. His Majesty is really an interesting person. He wanted to see it without paying.
Zhu Yijun stared at the telescope and said: "My wife's arrangement is, good guy, this ironworker is amazing!"
There is a flower shed at the performance site, so the gossip is displayed, and the artist They brought a gourd and ladle, put the upper rod into the iron furnace to pour out the molten iron, ran out of the flower shed, and hit the upper rod hard with the lower rod. The red iron flowers burst suddenly in the hands of the artists and participated in the performance. A total of twenty-four people, one stick after another, one person after another, went back and forth between the furnace and the flower shed. One stick of iron rose into the sky, and another followed one after another, and the sticks were connected in an endless stream.
The dragon lanterns of the Dragon Lantern Festival keep shuttling under the iron flowers. This is called dragon wearing flowers, or dragon dance, and it is extremely lively.
Fire trees and silver flowers never leave the sky, and the sky is filled with molten iron and colorful smoke.
"My lady, come and have a look too." Zhu Yijun motioned to Wang Yaozhuo to come and see the iron flowers, which is only once a year.
Wang Yaozhuo and Zhu Yijun watched the entire Aoshan Lantern Festival, which was very exciting. Wang Yaozhuo wanted to help his sisters, but the only solution to this unsolvable problem was children. With children, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li may treat His Majesty as a family member, and then she can be more relaxed. At the moment, this is just to know the basics, but I'm afraid it's not enough.
The excitement of the Lantern Festival finally came to an end. Wang Yaozhuo followed Zhu Yijun on the car back to Tonghe Palace and went along the small railway. Wang Yaozhuo touched his belly and looked out the window, so The lively days had nothing to do with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li. The two of them were waiting in the palace, worried.
In the closed space, Zhu Yijun's hands were somewhat dishonest. Wang Yaozhuo leaned on the emperor's arms, her face turned red, and she said with a slight breath: "Husband, I am concubine today. I can’t sleep with you anymore.”
“What’s wrong? Are you there again?” Zhu Yijun asked slightly surprised.
"Yes." Wang Yaozhuo was also a little annoyed. She knows how to taste food. Now that she is pregnant, she will not be able to sleep for at least a year and a half. It will take ten months to give birth and another six months to recover after delivery. Months, such a long time, are the prime years of life. Staying in the boudoir seems somewhat miserable.
Zhu Yijun stopped messing around, hugged Wang Yaozhuo, and started chattering. The content of the chatter was relatively messy, mainly about the affairs of the previous dynasty. The Lanzhou Woolen Factory in Shaanxi Province finally produced worsted wool this year. , and also found a white clay mine. Unfortunately, the white clay mine is a bit deep and difficult to dig; Yunnan's coinage has fallen into a bottleneck, and the output of Yunnan copper has been completely surpassed by Luzon. North Korea and China are discussing the scale of Yunnan copper Can it be smaller and recuperate? Petroleum black gold has been discovered in Java Island, which is within the actual control range of the Ming Dynasty and can be vigorously exploited. The supply of light oil in the Ming Dynasty has been somewhat guaranteed;
Wang Yaozhuo has been following these years Everyone around Zhu Yijun has their own opinions on these matters. For example, the Yunnan Copper matter cannot be stopped. This is the pillar of Yunnan. If it is stopped, where will the development of Yunnan be? For example, this Java is very close to the Strait of Malacca. If the Strait of Malacca is in the hands of a red-haired man for a day, he will not be able to rest at ease. How can he sleep on the couch lying on his side?
The car stopped in front of the gate of Tonghe Palace. Zhu Yijun went to the bathroom to wash up, while Wang Yaozhuo came to the Calyx Building, where Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were waiting.
"It has been three years since you two entered the palace together with me. Then Concubine Zhou and Concubine Ran who entered the palace later have children. You should be worried and uneasy. The more worried you are, the less likely you are to be favored by the Holy Family. , I became more and more worried and cautious, how can I succeed in this way? Today, I will give you a clear path, it is up to you whether you can grasp it." Wang Yaozhuo put away his weakness in front of the emperor and took care of the harem. The master's airs and tone were extremely calm.
"Thank you Queen for your advice!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li looked at each other, saluted, and left with the eunuch. Zhu Yijun was taking a bath in the Huaqing Pool in the bathroom. He was a little distracted, thinking about what was going on in the court. Suddenly, in the hazy smoke, he saw two figures. His hand was pressed on the knife hanging by the pool, and he slowly Pull out.
Unexpectedly, an assassin appeared in the bathroom of Tonghe Palace!
Knives are something Zhu Yijun always keeps at hand. Assassin King and King Jinglong used two knives, one long and one short. After slashing on the dragon bed, Zhu Yijun's knife never left him.
"Who is it?" Zhu Yijun held the knife, kept alert, and even held the knife as he walked out of Huaqing Pool step by step. He looked like a woman, and she was quite plump. She had two gourd-shaped figures. During the fight, , being too broad-minded is a burden, and the opponent has no weapons.
The threat is not big.
Zhu Yijun frowned, even a little dissatisfied! I am the top master of the empire's youth group, so I sent two unarmed maids to assassinate him? ! This is humiliating! There were more than twenty palace maids who assassinated the Taoist master at the beginning. What does it mean to send two when it is my turn! Look who can't afford it! !
What Zhu Yijun was more worried about was that the security of Tonghe Palace had such a serious problem just after Luo Sigong was sent out.
"Concubine Liu Mengshu and Li Jin pay their respects to Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were frightened and knelt on the ground trembling. They had thought about His Majesty's reaction, but they never expected that His Majesty would actually pull out the sword. Come out!
“Huh?” Zhu Yijun heard the voice and fully understood that it was not an assassin.
Putting yourself in their shoes, the two people were able to walk in without any trace of clothing. They had already made great determination. In order to obtain the Holy Family's determination and worries about the future, coupled with the shyness and shyness under the current conservative education, It's also common.
This was obviously put in intentionally by Feng Bao, the Flower and Bird Ambassador, otherwise he would have reported it in advance. Feng Bao, the Flower and Bird Ambassador, also had a somewhat clear idea of what the emperor liked.
Liu Mengshu and Li Jin were braver. She risked her life and waited for the two concubines to enter the palace. His Majesty was afraid that he would never see them again. She said loudly: "I am here to serve you." Your Majesty is taking a bath."
"No need to do so." Zhu Yijun nodded. He was a little too cautious. This is Tonghe Palace, which he has been running for nine years.
Seeing that His Majesty did not reprimand him, Liu Mengshu and Li Jin gradually relaxed their bodies. The sound of running water in Huaqing Pool added to the laughter.
"Who asked you to come together?" Zhu Yijun felt a little strange. The two girls were not so courageous for such an outrageous thing.
"I went to ask the Queen, and the Queen Chitose said that if you don't break it, you won't stand it, and you will bully the few with more! Now we are here." Li Jin gritted his silver teeth, tied his head rope, and got into the water. Inside, the scabbard was slightly rusty, and only the smooth and white back was floating in the water.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment, it will turn cold after a while, be careful of catching wind and cold, come back to the palace, hiss!" Zhu Yijun stopped him again and again, but the golden sword was finally put into the two scabbards. .
......
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun sat up, shook his head, took a deep breath, and looked at the two snowy faces, then he realized that yesterday's absurdity was true. It's ridiculous, it's obviously against etiquette.
"You two don't have to worry. The queen told me yesterday that the matter of accepting the concubine is not urgent and will wait for now." Zhu Yijun changed his clothes and planned to go to the Wenhua Palace after breakfast for a court meeting. Before leaving, It gave the two of them a reassurance.
Zhu Yijun moved his body and got on the jade chariot, and then he was sure that his judgment last night was not wrong. These two people were indeed assassins. He even said that they were more difficult to deal with than assassins! Use this to test the emperor. Which emperor can withstand this test? !
Either you can't let it go, or you can let it go too far.
Today's court meeting, a memorandum from Jiugang Secretary Yingyanghou Zhang Yuanxun was sent to the court. In this memorandum, the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense inspections arrested people near Borneo in September last year. Arriving at an English fleet, the Ming Dynasty coastal defense patrol conducted numerous interrogations and released him after confirming that he was indeed from England.
This English fleet wanted to avoid being pursued by the Governor-General of Goa, so it did not go through the Strait of Malacca to enter the Western Ocean. Instead, it went to the Banda Sea, bypassed the Strait of Malacca from the south of Java, and entered the Western Ocean. (Indian Ocean), and the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense inspection also explored the shipping route south of Java, which took a long way, but it was indeed a shipping lane that could bypass the Strait of Malacca.
Wan Shihe sorted out the notes in his hand and said: "The captain's name was Francis Drake. In the fifth year of Wanli, on the order of the Queen of England, he led five ships to set out from the English port of Plymouth. They started sailing around the world. Because the star map and the needle map were in the hands of Portugal and Spain, they explored for a longer time. In the Free City, Francis robbed a Portuguese galleon, so they became pirates and were traveled around. Capture. "
"It took Captain Francis two years to reach the southernmost tip of the New World, the Strait of Magellan, and two weeks to pass through the Strait of Magellan. When crossing the Strait of Magellan, they lost their lives. It took two ships another seven months to arrive in Chile, and they were almost captured by the natives."
"In February of the eighth year of Wanli, Captain Francis robbed the treasure ship Cakafugo. Finally getting the needle map, star map and method to get to Luzon from the New World, they set off in March. It took them four months to reach the Yuanxu Islands. When they were caught by our coastal defense inspection, they only had two people left. "
It started in the fifth year of Wanli, and in September of the seventh year of Wanli, it took a detour through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Atlantic Ocean. The large sailing ships from the West can travel from the West to the Ming Dynasty once a year. It is the advantage that information brings, and this kind of exploration is very, very risky.
Zhu Yijun browsed through the navigation notes for a while. After Zhang Yuanxun seized the three English ships, he took the ships to Manila for some repairs and cleaning. At the same time, he took all their nautical charts, needle charts, Star chart, a copy.
Francis Drake's orders were to sail around the world.
After robbing the Kakafugo and obtaining the star and needle charts needed for navigation, he succeeded and will return successfully in April this year.
The struggle between England, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands (Netherlands) for overseas interests kicked off with Francis' smooth return voyage.
Zhu Yijun had a huge blue gem in his hand, which was one of the trophies that Francis grabbed. After being captured by the Ming Dynasty, Francis dedicated it to Ying Yanghou Zhang Yuanxun, and then sent it to the emperor's hands. inside.
“On December 14 last year, a total of twenty three-masted ships arrived in Manila, Luzon. This batch of ships returned via the equatorial ocean current after completing the transaction in Peru. Our exploration The fleet is still exploring the Atlantic Ocean. This return voyage has completed the route to the Viceroyalty of Mexico and the Viceroyalty of Peru." Wan Shihe also talked about the results of Zhang Yuanxun's memorial to Shuli and the Ming Dynasty's exploration of the waterway.
Generally speaking, the Ming Dynasty is also conducting great voyages, and judging from the information obtained, the Ming Dynasty’s exploration fleet is the best in the world, whether it is Magellan’s circumnavigation or Francis’s circumnavigation. The adventure was mainly based on three or five ships, and the Ming Dynasty's exploration fleet was extremely arrogant. There were five five-masted ships, one stargazing ship, and seventy-two three-masted plywood ships, with more than 4,000 people.
This is caused by the size.
After Wan Shihe finished speaking, there was silence in the Wenhua Hall for a long time. England, the Netherlands, and France all discovered the huge benefits of navigation. The Ming Dynasty had a rich foundation in this aspect, but it seemed that the benefits were not enough. Keen, the scale is indeed the largest, but the Ming Dynasty's layout of large-scale navigation is already somewhat behind.
The reason why the courtiers were silent was because they were thinking about a problem. If His Majesty had not insisted on opening the sea, with the support of huge profits from navigation, the center of the world and the country of heaven would probably have shifted from the east to the west. This is the Ming Dynasty. It is unacceptable in any case. In the land of the Central Plains, as long as it is a unified dynasty, it must be the center of the world.
They are all smart people, and they can make judgments about things like learning from the east to the west, as long as they have a little understanding of everything that has happened in the past two years.
The Longqing switch only opened the port for a month, but the Wanli opening of the sea started. When did it start?
In the sixth year of Longqing's reign, Luo Gongchen, the owner of the Imperial House and a fellow governor of coastal defense, went to the capital to lobby the ministers in support of dedicating points to foreign ships. Luo Gongchen did not get support, but Zhang Juzheng got to know Luo Gongchen. In the first year of Wanli, the large ship arrived at the port, and two eunuchs, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jin, presided over the first foreign ship lottery.
The stingy and greedy Ming Emperor and the impoverished Ming court embarked on the road of opening up the sea, and they have been out of control ever since.
"I like gems, jade and other things." Zhu Yijun turned the sapphire in his hand around and said to the courtiers: "I will collect more in the future, Feng Daban, cut this sapphire and make it into accessories. , I want to give it to my beloved concubines.”
“I obey.” Feng Bao took the sapphire box.
The courtiers all know that Your Majesty is frugal and does not like extravagance and waste. His daily clothes are all Tsing Yi. His Majesty said this because of his own reputation. It is just one more reason to open the sea. He is greedy and stingy. The Emperor, the Eastern Dragon who collects treasures.
Zhu Yijun does not cherish his reputation very much. He has developed a reputation for being frugal and naturally has to use it.
"Your Majesty, Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun is waiting outside the palace." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the personnel changes. After Wang Daokun returned to Beijing, Guo Chaobin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was about to leave.
"Xuan."
"Xuan Governor Songjiang Zuodu Yushi and Hubu Zuoshi Lang Wang Daokun are here to see you!" Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly.
Wang Daokun stepped onto the platform of the Wenhua Hall step by step, stood in front of the palace gate, looked back behind him, and walked from the scholar to the Wenhua Hall in the center of the empire. It took Wang Daokun almost a lifetime to finally become the Duke of Ming Dynasty. .
"I pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Wang Daokun bowed five times and kowtowed three times in a grand salute.
"I love you, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you auspicious auspiciousness." Wang Daokun stood up and bowed his head and said: "The construction was supervised by Guo Chaobin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This boat has not yet been named, but it has been deduced by the Maritime Academy and the Royal Academy of Gemology. If built successfully, it will only take one and a half months to reach the Viceroyalty of Mexico from Songjiang Prefecture New Port, and only 13 days to cross the Atlantic. One ship can carry 3.4 million kilograms of cargo. "
Four hours. Huang Men carried a table covered with red silk cloth into the Wenhua Hall.
This is entirely a project hosted by Wang Daokun. He deliberately gave some of Xiangrui's credit to Guo Chaobin because Guo Chaobin was about to retire. He, Wang Daokun, gave this credit to Guo Chaobin so that he could take charge of the Ministry of Industry.
This court is not all about fighting and killing, it is also about people and worldliness.
Give the Ming craftsmen a chance, and the Ming craftsmen will give countless miracles to the Ming Emperor.
