After a year in Europe, Zhang Han realized that he was still lacking in theoretical knowledge.

He can give new ideas and concepts, but he cannot establish the unshakability of such theories from the foundation.

In other words, he knew that his theory was superior, but he could not defeat the other party in theory.

He returned to Daming this time to enrich himself.

Moreover, a Mongolian is good at dancing with long sleeves in Europe, which makes countless young people flock to him and worship him like a saint, which also makes him very disdainful.

In his opinion, he is the concubine of the Duke's Palace, and his foundation is much better than that cousin. Why he was so popular in Europe, while he himself was expelled everywhere.

He didn't think that his actions were wrong, he only thought that his methods were wrong.

So not only does he want to come back this time to enrich himself, but he also wants to enter the Daolu Division and learn from those mouth cannons.

In the first year of orthodoxy, His Majesty decided to take Shinrikyo as the state religion and implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.

Because Shinrikyo is a branch of Taoism, Taoism has been in the ascendant ever since.

However, Confucianism and Buddhism did not dare to retreat, and over the years, they have imitated the spirit of seeking truth from facts in the beginning, and now they have moved closer to the teachings of their own families.

At the spiritual level of philosophism, the boundaries between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are very blurred because of the integration of the three religions for nearly a hundred years.

Although Shinrikyo originated from Taoism, it borrowed from many other two schools in terms of ideology.

Taoism says that Shinrikyo is Taoism, and Confucianism and Buddhism are not followed.

Over the past 40 years, they have gone from getting closer to each other to integrating them, and have explained the educational foundation, ideological foundation, and even the experimental spirit of Shinrikyo with the scriptures and meanings of their own families.

Therefore, the three schools cooperated sincerely, the three religions were one, and the green religion and Christianity were suppressed.

If the three of them are still unclean, then the officials of the imperial court will destroy the enemy physically and physically.

In South Asia, against Hinduism and in Central Asia, against Green Christianity, the three schools acted in unison and never gave any chance to other sects.

They sincerely cooperate with the outside world, but behind closed doors, they are still inextricably linked.

The Sanglu Division, the Daolu Division, and the Guozijian Division, they hold debate competitions almost every ten years.

Through this kind of debate, a large number of mouth cannons have been trained in the three religions. They delved into the scriptures and meanings, apart from the logical relationship of Shinrikyo and the spirit of experimentation, and attacked each other, but no one could suppress the other.

Why put aside the spirit of logic and experimentation? Because this is the essence of Shinrikyo.

The reason why Shinrikyo is able to transcend the world is not because of the infallibility of scriptures, but because of its strict logical causality and experimentation-oriented actors.

Over the years, the disciplines of physics, nature, astronomy, geography, and chemistry have flourished, and their inventions, discoveries, and applications have changed the whole world.

In terms of pragmatism, the three religions are all willing to bow to the upper hand.

If the three religions can't catch up with the pragmatic pat horse, then they can only compete for the level in retreat.

Zhang Han used to look down on them, always thinking that they were just talking about them, talking about the way, and doing everything sparsely.

But after arriving in Europe this time, he realized that he still needed to learn the skills of quarrelling......

Zhang Hai, the son of Liang Guogong, was completely disappointed in this younger brother, and he tried to persuade this younger brother to do something serious, Liang Guogong's family fiefdom in Hengduanhai was now far surpassed by the Donghai Duke's mansion, but he didn't worry at all, he just wanted to go to Europe all day long to do those meaningless things.

Originally, he thought that the emperor's grandfather would stop his younger brother's meaningless behavior, but he didn't expect that the emperor's grandfather would even play a role in fueling the troubles.

This made Zhang Hai a little incomprehensible, and he simply didn't ask, and he didn't expect this younger brother to do anything for the family.

But this time when he came back, he not only warmly invited the King of France to live in the Duke of Liang's mansion, but also used his authority in the family to provide the King of France with a loan of more than 60,000 silver coins.

Sixty thousand silver coins was nothing to the Duke of Liang, and Zhang Hai was worried that his family was too close to the King of France, which would arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.

The three generations of their Zhang family are loyal, and if this incident causes the displeasure of the emperor's grandfather, it will be a big deal.

"The prince, the commander of the horse commander Li secretly came to the door......"

Zhang Hai's heart sank, and he quickly stood up and said, "Hurry up, please ......."

There are many captains of the Ming Dynasty, and there are also many commanders of Li, but when these two titles are connected, there is only Li Zifeng, the commander of Jinyiwei.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the most powerful group of people in the empire, still secretly came to the door today, and Zhang Hai did not dare to ignore it.

A moment later, Li Zifeng's strong figure entered the main hall. Because he came secretly, Zhang Hai didn't dare to go out of the door, but he didn't dare to wait in the main seat loudly, and stood inside the door to greet him.

"Zhang Hai has seen his uncle's ......"

Although Li Zifeng is not very old, he is married to the eldest princess of Daming, the sister of His Majesty today. Zhang Hai, the grandson of His Majesty, called his uncle to show his closeness.

Facing Zhang Hai, Li Zifeng didn't put on a stand, and held his arm to make him stand up. "Guangling doesn't need to be polite, just treat the old decay as a ...... who has come to visit relatives today."

Having said that, Li Zifeng, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is not ordered by His Majesty, and the door of this noble family will generally not enter.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, if you want to sit down safely, you must be a lonely minister. If you are in cahoots with officials and nobles, this knife will lose its effect.

Zhang Hai invited Li Zifeng to sit on the upper seat, accompanied him in the lower seat, and the housekeeper personally brought a pot of tea, and then took the initiative to prepare to leave.

Li Zifeng said at this time: "The old housekeeper doesn't have to avoid suspicion, today's matter is not confidential, but he doesn't want to make a big splash." ”

While speaking, Li Zifeng took out a golden ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Hai. "This is a golden ticket of 60,000 silver coins, which His Majesty asked me to bring here. Now this distinguished guest in the mansion, His Majesty is ready to see him tomorrow, as for his expenses in Daming, His Majesty does not want to let the Liang Guogong Mansion suffer. ”

Zhang Hai and the old housekeeper glanced at each other, but they didn't understand the meaning.

Jin Yiwei knew that this King of France had spent the silver of the Duke of Liang, which was not unusual.

The king of France has been in Yingtianfu these days, and when he came from France, he brought at least 100,000 silver coins worth of goods, all of which were spent, so he asked Zhang Han to borrow silver.

The king of France did not refuse to pay back the silver, and when he returned to France, a king would not rely on this money.

Zhang Hai was just worried that befriending him would affect the Liang State Mansion, and now Li Zifeng's actions have shown that His Majesty knows about this matter and still supports it.

But does the Duke of Liang dare to accept His Majesty's silver? Of course I don't dare...... So what is Li Zifeng bringing the golden ticket here for now?

Seeing that the old housekeeper shook his head gently, Zhang Hai immediately said: "Uncle, this silver, the grandson will never be able to accept it." The Duke of Liang Guo's Mansion is not short of this bit of silver, and he also asked his uncle to make it clear......"

Li Zifeng smiled: "You guys, you always think too much. In fact, Your Majesty has no other meaning, that is, I am afraid that you will be involved in the Liang State Mansion, and then you will not dare to support Zhang Han, which will ruin Your Majesty's major affairs. ”

"Big things ......, what is Guangbo doing now?"

The old housekeeper felt even more incomprehensible, in his opinion, the second young master was completely unprofessional, and he went to Europe to help them when he was full.

Zhang Hai asked again: "Uncle, the second brother came back this time, and his grandson didn't hold him back, last time he said that he wanted silver, and his grandson didn't say a word and gave him 60,000 silver coins." My grandson is still afraid of this......"

Li Zifeng didn't go around in circles, and said to him directly: "Your Majesty is just afraid of you, so I only took this trip today." Moreover, this matter cannot be known to the king of France and Guangbo, understand? ”

Zhang Hai pondered for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty knows what your second brother has done and is willing to support him, but your son doesn't know that Your Majesty is willing to support him, and Your Majesty doesn't want him to know?" ”

"That's what it means." Li Zifeng looked at Zhang Hai, then at the old housekeeper, his eyes wandered around, and then said: "Although this King of France is not the strongest in Europa, he is also a strong party. Especially now that he is willing to get close to my Daming, I Daming also wants to use him to make trouble in Europa.

He wants to buy something in Daming that he didn't sell before, and His Majesty is willing to sell him, he has no money, and His Majesty is willing to let him owe it first. So this matter, no matter how much trouble he has with Guangbo, you don't have to worry, if you ask for money, you will give it, and your Majesty will make up for it for you as much money as you spend in the Liang Guogong Mansion. ”

Zhang Hai wanted to ask again, but Li Zifeng said again: "As for some of the stakeholders here, you don't have to ask, let alone Guangbo, just do it." ”

Zhang Hai couldn't ask what he wanted to ask this time, so he nodded and said, "Grandson understands, thank you uncle for your advice." ”

Li Zifeng smiled and handed him the golden ticket and said: "You accept this silver first, if Guangbo asks you for silver again, you can continue to give it, just remember, let Guangbo ask him for an IOU." ”

And in the west courtyard of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Louis XI was lying on a large sofa, listening to the beautiful music coming from the radio.

This radio can listen to the programs broadcast by Yingtianfu Guangbo Radio every day, those words he can't understand, and he needs to have a general secretary to translate next to him, but music has no borders.

When he came to Daming, he really realized that he was a dirt bun. He originally thought that France was strong enough, but when he came to Daming, he felt this complete gap.

Da Ming only needs to use a little light power, don't say France, even the whole of Europa, can't resist it at all.

It has the most delicious food, the most gorgeous clothes, the most advanced technology, the most developed economy, the most powerful army, and the most perfect laws and discipline.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, they were a group of barbarians in Europe, fighting in a well for hundreds of years.

Now, when they surfaced out of the well, they realized that they were just frogs at the bottom of the well.

Because the gap is too big, even he himself doesn't know where to learn from Daming.

These days, in addition to participating in the etiquette classes arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Honglu Temple, the rest of the time, he took Zhang Han to run around the streets and alleys.

Many things that have been taken for granted in the eyes of the Ming people are full of magic in his eyes.

For example, electricity, such as megaphones, such as bicycles, and so on......

And the radio, which looks relatively strange to the Ming people, makes him feel that it is too amazing.

In the East, although there is no God, the Ming people themselves are more miraculous than God.

In fact, not only him, but all the representatives from Europa have been fascinated by the prosperous Yingtianfu.

After a beautiful tune was played, the sound of talking came from the radio again, and it was a short advertisement. Louis XI did not let Tong Shi continue to translate, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Han, who was sitting at his desk reading a book.

"Zhang, isn't your country's Ministry of Industry too conservative, and gun manufacturing does not export to Europa, I can understand it, but why don't shipbuilding, bicycles, and automobile craftsmanship be exported to Europa? My France is very sincere and willing to be an ally of the Ming Empire! ”

Zhang Han, who was in front of the desk, raised his head, glanced at Louis XI and said, "Because there is only one voice in this empire, anyone who wants to make any decision must go through His Majesty's consent." ”

"Then how can you guarantee that His Majesty's decision will always be correct?"

You have to remember not to say this again...... Your Majesty is always right, even if it is wrong. Zhang Han stared into his eyes and said, "The superiority of the political system of the Ming Empire is beyond your comprehension. Lords, ministers, they will all be subject to layers of constraints, and no one can control everything like the ministers of Europa. There can only be one person, and that is Your Majesty. And all the decisions of His Majesty are not made rashly, and they will be discussed by ministers at all levels before, and then a decision will be made in favor of the majority of the people.

Therefore, if Europa wants to learn from the Ming Dynasty, it is not necessary to buy a few machines to learn the Ming Dynasty, but must first learn from the political system.

However, you don't have our thousands of years of cultural precipitation, and you don't have an academic sect like Shinrikyo that can change the world, if you want to learn from the Ming Dynasty, in addition to sorting out your own political structure, the first thing you need to do is to overthrow the oppression and rule of the church. ”

Louis XI nodded and said, "I also think that the Church must be overthrown, but the first thing to do is to strengthen oneself in order to resist the Church's counterattack." ”

"Therefore, tomorrow you will go to see Your Majesty, it will be an important opportunity, if you can get his support, France can break free from the oppression of the Church and move closer to civilization."

……

……

Palace. Fengtian Temple.

After the construction of the parliament building in the 20th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and the establishment of the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of National Defense in the 6th year of Orthodoxy. The Ming Dynasty turned to the self-determination of the ministries, and the three major halls became the honorary council halls, mainly responsible for some ceremonial activities.

The Fengtian Hall is now open almost only for the annual Halloween Festival and the Four Major Festivals. Only the Jinshen Hall still bears the role of Zhu Zhanji's daily deliberations and guests.

But today, the gate of Fengtian Hall is opened, and the officials of the Jinyi Guard, Honglu Temple, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stand in gorgeous clothes.

In the middle of the Fengtian Temple Square, 1,300 people from Europa, led by their respective officials, formed a neat phalanx in the middle of the square.

In the Fengtian Palace, officials above the third rank stood on both sides of the second-tier platform, leaving a red carpet in the middle.

Over the years, although the Fengtian Temple has lost its role in deliberation, it has not been abandoned, and it will be strictly overhauled and painted every year.

Not only that, but there is also a set of amplification equipment and dozens of electric lights, which are illuminated when it is open.

A court band of more than 300 people was now playing majestic music, which also made the Europeans in the square feel extremely nervous.

Although 1,300 people could enter the temple in turn, only 201 of them could be summoned and interviewed by Zhu Zhanji.

At this time, these people were being explained by the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Honglu Temple for the etiquette of the audience.

This tense atmosphere is deliberate, in order to make people feel afraid when they first meet the Ming Emperor.

Among the dozens of loudspeakers, a voice suddenly came out, and those who are familiar with it know that this is the voice of Foreign Minister Ma Sui.

"Announcing the audience of the King of France, the King of Portugal, the Consul of Florence, the King of Hungary, the King of Norway ......"

There were not many kings who came to Daming in person this time, and many kings did not dare to leave their country at all.

Needless to say, France has always wanted to develop maritime trade, and this time it took the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhanji and wanted to meet him in person, so that he could persuade him.

The consuls of Florence were the Medici family, which was also the most loyal dogleg of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, and of course he would come in person.

The Hungarian king has always prided himself to be an Oriental, and this time he also wanted to take the opportunity to return to the East.

Norway was threatened by Sweden, a Nordic power, and had a hard time these years, so it wanted to take advantage of Daming.

Whether it is a king, an archduke, or an earl, as long as they come in person, they all have their own demands.

The kings were the first to enter the main hall, and they were faced with a solemn and majestic scene, and they walked cautiously along the red carpet, and the retinue was about to stop at the third floor, while they could go up to the second floor.

Coming to the second floor below the dragon chair, several kings knelt down and met Zhu Zhanji with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

Because they have to kneel on both knees, this is also the main reason why many kings are unwilling to come to Daming in person. Many kings have suggested that they can bow down on one knee, but they can't bow down on both knees, but at this time, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored them.

The leader who is willing to come over and bow down on his knees in person means that he has completely surrendered, and Daming will naturally look the other way and increase support.

As for other countries, there will be times when they regret it.

Because it is an independent kingdom, these kings of theirs also had the opportunity to talk to Zhu Zhanji alone after bowing, and then stood side by side on both sides of the main hall to watch the process behind.

After them, there were representatives of independent kingdoms, then grand duchies, city-states, and finally counties.

These forces basically represent the vast majority of the forces in Europe, even Poland, Lithuania and other countries that have been at war with the Ming Dynasty have also sent representatives.

In the morning, Zhu Zhanji met with everyone at once, and then read out Daming's foreign strategy.

What made everyone feel the door was that in this majestic hall, there was a group of people holding flashing machines and flashing lights at all of them.

Most people don't know what this thing is, and they are caught off guard and are stimulated to tears.

At noon, a banquet was held in the Wuying Palace, and everyone was arranged at different tables according to different levels and enjoyed a palace meal.

Then, most of the people will leave the palace, leaving only a few people that Zhu Zhanji will meet alone in the afternoon. In the next few days, Zhu Zhanji will take turns to meet with them.

And Louis XI of France was the first king specially arranged by Zhu Zhanji to receive him.

Before seeing him, Zhu Zhanji thought that this ruthless Louis XI was a mean-looking guy, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he found that at the age of 43 this year, he looked like a scholar, and he didn't see the tyranny of his personality at all.

Zhu Zhanji received him in the Jinshen Palace, and took the initiative to step down from the high platform and accept his submission.

And the people waiting next to him, of course, had to record this moment with their cameras.

Not only that, but the representatives of all the countries were photographed during the morning prostration.

These photos will become the most precious historical memories in the future.

After the ceremony, Zhu Zhanji returned to the dragon chair and started a conversation with Louis XI.

After some courtesy greetings, Louis XI proposed to Zhu Zhanji that he wanted France to learn the path of the Ming Dynasty in an all-round way.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji did not object, but he had the same opinion as Zhang Han, believing that France should learn from the Ming Dynasty not only from industry and agriculture, but also from the entire social system.

In France today, the great lords have absolute power in their fiefdoms, and even the king cannot interfere.

Moreover, in France, the nobility will always be the nobility, and the serfs will always be serfs. The passage of civilians upward is blocked, and a civilian, at most, can only be a knight in his life.

It is not possible to obtain a knighthood until the next generation of knights.

This rigid system simply does not allow talents to be utilized, so if France wants to learn from the Ming Dynasty, it must first solve the problem of domestic political structure.

Zhu Zhanji's words were much more effective than Zhang Han's, and his cabinet was cunning and cunning, and Louis XI, who used all kinds of means and tactics to fool him, believed that the most important issue in France was not development, but reform, but revolution.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji did not dampen Louis XI's determination to carry out industrial development, and even expressed his support.

After some meeting, Louis XI felt that the Ming Emperor really thought about France and was willing to help France.

He tried to buy some gunpowder from Daming, but Zhu Zhanji readily agreed to him.

There was no saltpeter in Europe, and the production of natural saltpeter was terrible, and they could only rely on manure to obtain saltpeter to make gunpowder.

Therefore, although there are many muskets in European countries, the strength depends on the amount of gunpowder.

Zhu Zhanji agreed to sell France a shipload of gunpowder, which made Louis XI overjoyed, with this gunpowder, the unification of France seems to be just around the corner!
