"Ma Aiqing, why are you asking for healers and craftsmen?" After seeing the excerpts on Marin, Zhengde summoned Marin in the leopard room in the northwest of the imperial city. Also attending the meeting were three cabinet ministers, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu.

After Liu Jin's henchman Cao Yuan stepped down, the courtiers strongly recommended Liu Zhong to join the cabinet in order to obtain a vice-state treatment for him to retire. But Zhengde hated Liu Zhong for leading the palace to knock on the palace, so he resolutely refused to promote Liu Zhong to the cabinet, but chose Liang Chu, who had more less seniority, to enter the cabinet. The ministers wanted to collectively write a letter to force Zhengde to comply, but Zhengde was furious and burned all the folds of the day, no matter how big or small. Moreover, Zhengde claimed that as long as there was an excerpt recommending Liu Zhong to enter the cabinet, all the folds would be burned out that day. Seeing that Zhengde was so resolute, Liu Zhong didn't want the monarch and the minister to completely break up, so he took the initiative to withdraw, so he didn't let things get out of control.

Seeing Liu Zhong's acquaintance, Zhengde didn't pursue it anymore, and also added a literary rank and a salary to Liu Zhong. Of course, there is no need to talk about it when you enter the cabinet, which is Zhengde's warning to the ministers.

Seeing Zhengde asking like this, and the three cabinet bigwigs on the side also looked at it, Marin immediately cried:

"Your Majesty, you don't know anything! In Europe, the backwardness of medical skills is outrageous! For example, when people are sick, should they take medicine? ”

Zhengde nodded with the three elders, and Marin's next words made the tea in their mouths squirt......

"But in our place, people don't take medicine when they're sick, and those quacks who are like witch doctors directly bleed...... Your Majesty, the three elders, do you think, how weak are people when they are sick? As a result, the quacks had to stab and bleed...... Isn't that the same as murder? ”

The four bigwigs wiped off the tea and nodded in agreement with Marin's words. And Zhengde looked at Marin with a distressed face:

"Ma Aiqing, you have suffered, since you were a child, how many times have you been let go?"

This time it was Marin's turn to spray tea, but he thought about it seriously and said:

"It seems that there is only one ......" According to the memory of the predecessor of this body, it seems that when he was 13 years old, he was seriously ill, and the Hoffmann family specially invited the doctor from Bochum City to bleed Marin...... As for other times...... Mainly because Hoffman Manor is located in the countryside, and you can't find a terrible "witch doctor" who can heal bloodletting......

It is also thanks to the remote location of Hoffman Manor, and there are not many "witch doctors" who know the "advanced medical skills" of "bloodletting treatment", otherwise, with the strength of Marin's body, it is estimated that he will not be able to wait for Marin's soul to penetrate, and he will have been bloodletting a long time ago......

When Ma Lin said the reason that "the countryside is poor, and even quacks who can be treated with bloodletting can't be found", Zhengde and Sange Lao both had an expression of "you are so lucky".

"Ma Aiqing, I didn't expect you to live so miserably...... Master Li, how many doctors do you think is appropriate for him? Master Li is Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang once served as the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi, and also served as the teacher of Zhengde, Zhengde also respected him very much, and called him "master". It should be pointed out that the master here is different from the master, and the emperor cannot call people his father casually. In addition, the three dukes and the three orphans have the official positions of "Taishi", "Taibao", "Taifu" and "Shaoshi", "Shaobao" and "Shaofu", so the emperor and the prince often call the emperor or the prince "master", or "Shibao" and "Baofu". Of course, it is sometimes used to refer to monks. After liberation, the master was used to refer to the craftsman.

Li Dongyang stroked his goat's beard, thought for a while, and said:

"It's okay to give it to the chief doctor in Equestria, but the doctor in the Tai Hospital can't give it......"

"Why?" Zhengde was puzzled.

"Ahem...... Li Dongyang pretended to cough, and said in his heart - why are you so stupid? Give the Imperial Doctor to Marin, what should we do ourselves?

Speaking of which, Li Dongyang is also unlucky. His own sons all died, and as a last resort, he succeeded a nephew as a son. He is an elder of the pavilion, and some nephews are willing to pass over, but after all, he was not born by himself. Therefore, Ma Lin did not dare to mention the topic of pediatricians and untimely death, so as not to sting Li Dongyang's heart.

Zhengde saw that Li Dongyang couldn't help but give himself a look, and he also reacted - yes, the imperial doctor is treating the royal family and ministers, how can he give people away at will. So, he changed his tune and said:

"Ma Aiqing, you see, the imperial doctors are all people with official positions, I can't give away Ming officials at will......"

Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, and Liang Chu immediately praised in private, shouting "666" in their hearts, applauding the reason Zhengde found......

Li Dongyang answered at this time:

"Then let's do it, the old man will order that people choose a doctor with excellent medical skills among the folk doctors who have no official status......

"Wait......" Marlin stood up and asked:

"What does Your Majesty and the three pavilion elders mean that a imperial doctor with an official body can't give it, but anyone who doesn't have an official body can give it?"

Li Dongyang thought for a while and said:

"That's true, but we can't force the doctors who don't want to go too harshly......"

"What if it's a criminal?"

"What do you mean?" Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted:

"You mean, those eunuch imperial doctors who cling to Liu Jin?"

Marin clapped his hands and said:

"That's them! Anyway, they are guilty of sin, and they have no official body. Wouldn't it be beautiful to give it to the ministers and take it to the North Sea Kingdom? Anyway, in Daming, because they are eunuchs, they don't even have a share in the amnesty, and they have no hope in the future! ”

Li Dongyang thought about it, discussed it with Zhengde, Yang Tinghe, and Liang Chu, and agreed to Ma Lin's request. As for the thoughts of those former imperial doctors? As a guilty person, where to go is only based on the words of the court......

In this way, Ma Lin easily obtained 200 doctors from various departments, including 5 former imperial doctors, from the Ming Court, which made Ma Lin's heart bloom.

……

Then, it's a matter of craftsmen. In fact, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, especially the shipbuilders, were not as strong as European craftsmen. But the problem is that European craftsmen are all masters, not to mention the high salaries, and they often make revolutions...... The most revolutionary burgher class in Europe is dominated by artisans......

Although Marin is also training craftsmen, it is a pity that there is no time for it. For example, shipbuilders cannot train highly skilled craftsmen in a few years, and at most they can train barely qualified craftsmen.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were different, these craftsmen were born craftsmen, and they had to learn the craft from an early age. Generally, a middle-aged craftsman has more than ten years of craftsmanship.

Even if the Eastern shipbuilding technology is different from that of Europe, the craftsmanship level of those Ming craftsmen is there, as long as they learn the ideas of European shipbuilding, shipbuilding is still very simple.

Therefore, Marin directly opened his mouth and wanted many, many Ming shipbuilders......

……

However, Emperor Zhengde hesitated......

Because of Marin, the young Zhengde suddenly became interested in sailing. After taking Marin away in the name of "we need to discuss", Zhengde expressed to Li Dongyang and others the signs that he was also interested in engaging in navigation......

Ma Lin didn't know that because of the actions of the shipbuilders he wanted, he almost let Zhengde also intervene in the great voyage......

……

God bless Marin, though. At this critical juncture, an important person came out to save Marin, and also destroyed the hope of the Ming Dynasty to develop the Great Voyage......

This old man is the legendary Comrade Liu Daxia who burned Zheng He's navigation chart......

……

Liu Daxia's origin, needless to say. Speaking of the Great Voyage, we can't avoid this "great loyal minister" who burned the hope of the Ming Dynasty......

Although later historians have mixed reviews of his actions, at present, Liu Daxia is an outstanding representative of the great loyal ministers and a leading figure of Qingliu......

Coincidentally, Liu Daxia had retired and returned to his hometown. However, because he offended Liu Jin, he was punished to go to Suzhou (later Ganyisu Jiuquan) to serve as an army.

When Yang Yiqing was in charge of going to Qingyang in Ganyisu to appease the public opinion after the rebellion of King Anhua, he quietly brought Liu Daxia back to Beijing by the way, and hid in Yang Yiqing's mansion.

After Liu Jin fell, Liu Daxia appeared in public. But because Liu Jin's false accusation has not been rehabilitated, he still stayed in the capital and continued to live in Yang Yiqing's mansion.

It should be pointed out that Liu Daxia, Yang Yiqing and Li Dongyang studied together under the great Confucian Li Chun when they were young. Therefore, the three of them are close brothers and sisters. Moreover, Liu Daxia is also the "elder brother" among the three.

Because he didn't reply to Ma Lin immediately, after returning in the evening, Li Dongyang happened to be a guest at Yang Yiqing's mansion and talked about it. Obviously, Zhengde didn't want to give many shipbuilders to Marin, and planned to make a big voyage himself......

……

"Bang-" Listening to Li Dongyang's words, Liu Daxia slammed the table and roared:

"Binzhi, you must not let Your Majesty have the idea of a great voyage! Da Ming, I can't afford to toss the navigation! ”

If it were in the future, it is estimated that someone would stand up and spray Liu Daxia. However, this is the Ming Dynasty, and the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty all agree with Liu Daxia's words......

Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing listened to Liu Daxia's words and nodded together. Then, Li Dongyang asked:

"Senior brother, how do you think you can stop Your Majesty from sailing?"

Liu Daxia thought for a while and said:

"The shipbuilding drawings left by Zheng He, the eunuch of Quan, have been burned by me, but those shipbuilders are estimated to have passed down the shipbuilding skills from generation to generation. And the descendants of those craftsmen who can build treasure ships are probably concentrated in the Jiangnan area. The treasure ship is mainly produced in Nanjing's Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, two junior brothers, you go to check the files, see where the descendants of those craftsmen who know how to make treasure ships are distributed. Then, give them all to the lord of Equestria......"

"All for the Equestrian Lord? Senior brother, how many craftsmen built treasure ships back then? It has been handed down to an estimated number of tens of thousands. Including family members, it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 or 30,000 people...... Do you want to give it to the horse lord? Li Dongyang said in surprise.

Liu Daxia said with a ruthless face:

"Binzhi, only in this way can you extinguish Your Majesty's mind to go to the West again! Think about the reign of Taizong (Emperor Yongle), in order to go to the West, he almost exhausted the treasury. Even, in order to maintain expenses, Taizong had to issue treasure money indiscriminately. But Binzhi (Li Dongyang), Ying Ning (Yang Yiqing), you see, now almost no one recognizes the treasure banknotes, and no one buys them if they want to send them indiscriminately. Are you willing to watch the Ming treasury be depleted again? ”

"Therefore, we want to give all the descendants of all the craftsmen who know how to make treasure ships to the lord of Equestria, so as to extinguish His Majesty's mind to reopen the West!" Liu Daxia said impassionedly.

If Ma Lin was there, he would probably pounce excitedly and kiss Liu Daxia's old face - you are really my lucky star!

Of course, for Marin, Liu Daxia is a lucky star. But for Da Ming, Liu Daxia is a standard sailing terminator...... The design of the treasure ship is not counted once, but this time it is necessary to pack all the craftsmen who can make the treasure ship and give it away......
