Chapter 474: The Imperial Gift

Artisan...... It was indeed what Fang Jifan urgently needed.

At present, Daming is in urgent need of shipbuilding, but for more than 100 years, the craftsmen of Daming have been completely lost with the forbidden sea, and the shipbuilding technology of a hundred years has been hesitant. Even because the world is generally peaceful, the armament is also lax.

The art of forging firearms, artillery, and shipbuilding has long been unfamiliar, and it is imperative to introduce a group of fresh blood.

But in this era, it is not said that the introduction of fresh blood is the introduction of fresh blood.

Under the current conditions of productivity and transportation, Fang Jifan originally thought that it would be impossible to do it without decades of operation.

Who would have expected ...... Xu Jing is so ruthless.

Fang Jifan couldn't help admiring Xu Jing in his heart, his vision was still very good! Therefore, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Xu Jing.

"Yes, yes, since they are here, they naturally have to be hospitable, don't let them go."

Xu Jing heard Fang Jifan's praise, and suddenly felt beautiful in his heart, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, it was not easy, it was rare for a teacher to exaggerate himself so much.

He pursed his lips and smiled happily: "In addition, the fleet has also brought countless national specialties, as well as ...... Seed. ”

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Very good, very good, sure enough, the teacher didn't hurt you in vain." ”

While speaking, Fang Jifan smiled, but took out a large scroll of paintings from his sleeve.

This scroll of paintings, wanted to hide in Fang Jifan's sleeve, with a lot of hard work, Fang Jifan stuffed this painting in Xu Jing's hand, and looked at Xu Jing deeply: "Later, I will go to meet the saint." ”

"What?" Xu Jing was stunned: "Your Majesty is actually ......"

"Leave the details alone." Fang Jifan felt that this guy did not distinguish between priority and priority, but said solemnly: "When I face the saint later, the first thing to offer is this thing, so he said that this thing is after arriving at the wooden bone capital bundle, and it is derived from the local population, this is the treasure left by the three treasure eunuchs, after arriving at the wooden bone capital bundle a hundred years ago, because the return voyage is in a hurry, so it ...... Didn't have time to take it away. ”

"This is ......," Xu Jing looked confused.

More than a hundred years ago, Teacher, was this foolish past?

More than 100 years of antiquities, will be so new, teacher...... Isn't that too particular?

Of course, he didn't dare ask.

In fact, he still has a question.

The treasures left by the wooden bones are still my Ming paper, will it be better to use sheepskin?

But...... Xu Jing didn't dare to question it, but did not hesitate to put the painting away, he didn't even look at it, and nodded solemnly: "The student understands that when the student sees His Majesty, the first thing is to present this painting." ”

In the distance, there were already mighty eunuchs and janissaries coming towards them.

Fang Jifan was very satisfied, smiled at Xu Jing, and solemnly instructed: "If you are found out, don't be afraid, be calm and relaxed, just say that this is a threat from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lure you and let you do it." Of course, you improvise, and it is best to bite to death This is indeed the Three Treasures of the Three Treasures of the Eunuch found in the Wood and Bone Bundle, the treasure left by your life's work. ”

"Student...... Got it. ”

"Be good, I love you for the teacher."

Seeing that Xiao Jing came in person, Fang Jifan patted Xu Jing, as if to cover up something.

Xiao Jing glanced at Fang Jifan and Xu Jing meaningfully: "Xinjian Bo and Xu Bianxiu are really in deep master-apprentice love, but ...... Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, so it is better to hurry up and see the driver. ”

Fang Jifan nodded.

Xiao Jing looked at Xu Jing again, he had some impressions of Xu Jing in the past, but he was just ...... See you again today, but he almost didn't know him.

Even Xiao Jing, who was hard-hearted, couldn't help but be moved, Xu Jing must have suffered a lot in the past two years of going to sea, and he let out a long sigh: "Xu Jingxiu is really hard work." ”

………………

Emperor Hongzhi has been waiting for a long time.

He sat idly with his companions for a long time before he heard someone report outside: "Your Majesty, someone is here." ”

"Xuan!"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sit up straight, and his face became solemn.

A moment later, Fang Jifan took the lead and came in, and after that, it was Xu Jing.

After everyone saw Xu Jing, they were stunned.

They thought that what they should see at this moment was a proud Hanlin official, just like the general who returned triumphantly.

can look at this Xu Jing, but it is unkempt, black and not slippery, and the person is also thin, where is the appearance of Xu Jing before, the whole person is completely unrecognizable, many people were shocked, and the smile on their faces gradually disappeared.

Emperor Hongzhi also looked at Xu Jing, his brows furrowed slightly, in the depths of his memory, Xu Jing should be a fair-skinned person with elegant manners, but today......

Emperor Hongzhi's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Hurry up and sit down." ”

Someone immediately moved Jindun, asked Xu Jing to sit down, leaned over, and said first: "Your Majesty, the minister has something that I want to give to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was full of spirits, this person, after seeing me, did not complain, did not open his mouth to say how hard he was at sea, the first thing that came to mind was to have something to offer.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Zhi on the side, and then at Xu Jing, and suddenly found that these two people began to be indistinguishable.

These are all loyal ministers.

"What did the Qing family offer?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

Xu Jing took out the painting and slowly unfolded the painting, but he was too hasty to take a closer look at what was in the painting.

Therefore, Xu Jing was also very curious in his heart.

When the painting slowly unfolded, everyone held their breath, and then, one by one, the lines were displayed in front of people.

It is a map, and on the map, there are also big characters: "The map of all countries under heaven." ”

All the nations of the world......

This is a map of the world.

Fang Jifan drew this map by projection method based on his memory.

The mountains and rivers, as well as the land and sea, Fang Jifan did not dare to be 100% accurate, but fortunately, he was a liberal arts student, and he knew a little bit about history, geography, and geography.

Here, not only the five continents of the world are drawn, but also the general countries and national borders are outlined.

Fang Jifan has always hoped that Da Ming will have a more intuitive understanding of this world, at least, what this world is like can attract everyone's attention.

This is the original intention of Fang Jifan to concoct this map.

But if you take out this map directly, even if others believe in you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to attract people's attention.

Now, it is imminent to go to the West, and when it comes to going to the West, Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, is naturally the ancestor of the West.

Today's people worship the ancients and think that the things of their ancestors are the best.

In this case, I have no choice but to ......

Xu Jing took a closer look and found that it was Yutu, and he was very surprised how the teacher got it, but this is not the time to think about these things.

He said very seriously: "Your Majesty, when this minister was tied in the wooden bone capital, he knew from the local natives that a hundred years ago, the Three Treasure Eunuchs had left a relic in the wooden bone capital, and this thing was the treasure of the Three Treasure Eunuchs......

Xu Jing glanced at this new map, and sighed in his heart, a teacher is a teacher, two years, and his rough temperament has not changed, he continued: "Of course, the original map of all countries in the world was drawn on the sheepskin, but unfortunately, the sheepskin was badly damaged, and when it arrived in the hands of the minister, it was already broken. ”

"This thing was made by the eunuch of the Three Treasures with a lifetime of painstaking efforts, and he originally wanted to enter the imperial court, but when the wood and bones were tied, he was left behind because of a serious illness...... Now, the thing is returned to its original owner, Your Majesty...... The minister will return it to Zhao! ”

Everyone was shocked, and looked at the map in Xu Jing's hand in surprise.

The eunuch of the Three Treasures was still thousands of miles away, leaving a relic behind.

Although it is a little bizarre, but this Manchu monarch and minister, even a hundred miles away from the sea, has never been there, whether this thing is a relic of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, that is only God knows.

What's more, in terms of motivation, Xu Jing is completely unnecessary, talking nonsense here.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be moved, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with tears.

Eunuch ...... of the Three Treasures

To this day, he knows the hardships of the Three Treasures eunuch, especially after seeing Xu Jing, his heart is even more shocked, his eyes are red, and he said excitedly: "Take it, I will take a look." ”

Xiao Jing's heart sank.

Anyway, the Three Treasures Eunuch is not only the ancestor of the West, but also the ancestor of the eunuchs, when the Three Treasures Eunuch was proud, Xiao Jing was afraid that he had not been born yet, Xiao Jing looked in awe, bowed over, carefully took the map, and then held it to the front of the palace.

The map unfolded, and the five continents suddenly appeared in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at every line inside, he saw the location of the Ming Dynasty, saw the city of Beijing, according to his memory, at least the territory of the Ming Dynasty, is eight or nine inseparable ten, and then, along the Western Ocean, he saw Annam, Luzon, Siam, Java, Sumatra, Ceylon, Mugu are all bundled......

"The world is so vast that it is."

The light of the Ming Dynasty is enough to make the Hongzhi Emperor shine, but when this map is in front of the Hongzhi Emperor, the Hongzhi Emperor knows that the Ming Dynasty is just a corner.

What's even more amazing is that here, all the countries in the world, have marked their specialties, from the east, from the west, from the south, from the north, this country, at a glance.

Under this map, there is even a line of words.

In this line, there is a familiar sentence: "If you want the country to be rich and strong, you must not ignore the ocean." Wealth comes from the sea, and danger comes from the sea. …… Once the king of another country captures the South Seas, China is in danger. China's fleet is invincible, and it can be used to expand business, subdue foreign lands, and make it dare not covet the South Seas. ”

The painstaking efforts of the Three Treasure Eunuchs have long been forgotten, and now, when the Manchu Dynasty realizes the importance of the sea, and then look at what the Three Treasure Eunuchs said a hundred years ago, Emperor Hongzhi ...... The eyes were red again.
