"Brother Zicheng doesn't ask the younger brother to tell you, I really didn't run in vain when I went back to Nanjing, I invited a shipbuilding master, his ancestors had supervised the construction of Zheng He's treasure ship, and there were several large boxes of drawings and materials hidden at home, I wore out my mouth, and promised to build the treasure ship again, and he was in charge, so I brought the box back to Beijing together."

Zhang Yunxiu said as if he was meritorious, and Zhang You was overjoyed to hear it: "What about people? Hurry up and call me to see it. ”

"Yun Qian is going to take a trip and ask Mr. Chu to come over."

Zhang Yunxiu commanded, and Yun Qian hurriedly trotted out of the courtyard.

Zhang You smiled: "Hasn't the second child always opposed you going to sea?" You brought Mr. Nachu into the door, didn't you tell him? ”

Zhang Yunxiu glanced at Zhang You: "Brother Zicheng didn't ask knowingly, the second brother was going to pick up Mr. Chu, but fortunately, Ruoxuan invited his father to ......" Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked curiously: "By the way, Brother Zicheng, how did you convince your father?" I went to Pinggu to look for him for going to sea, but he scolded him for being bloody......"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan, how to convince you to leave it alone, anyway, he has no objection to you going to sea now."

Zhang You sold it, Zhang Yunxiu still had to ask again, Yun Qian had already led a middle-aged man in his 40s to walk in, so he stopped talking, stepped forward and pulled his sleeve, and dragged him in front of Zhang You.

"Come on, let me introduce you, Mr. Chu, this is Master Zhang Youzhang, the head of the Gewu Institute, Brother Zicheng, he is the Mr. Chu I told you."

"The fifth young master is exalted, the villain is just a carpenter, but he can't afford the word 'sir', call me Quanfu is, the villain has seen Lord Zhang, I heard that the hot air balloon that can bring people to the sky is made by Lord Zhang, the little old man has been admiring it for a long time, and he has long wanted to see you."

As he spoke, Chu Quanfu was about to kneel down and salute. Zhang You hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him: "What I admire most in my life is a skilled craftsman, my grandfather is a carpenter, your age is more than enough for my father, such a big gift, don't you want to kill me?" ”

"Mr. Chu doesn't have to insist, Brother Zicheng never puts on a show, and he is too rigid to make him uncomfortable."

Hearing Zhang Yunxiu say this, Chu Quanfu stopped insisting, and was dragged to the stone table by Zhang You, and sat on the stone bench diagonally.

Seeing Zhang You go to get the teapot, Zhang Ruoxuan hurriedly snatched it from his hand, poured a cup for Chu Quanfu first, and saw that there was no empty cup on the table, so he picked up the teacup he had used, poured out the residual tea, poured some tea and soaked it, and pushed it in front of Zhang You.

Zhang You was really a little thirsty, so he didn't think much about it, so he took it up and took a sip.

Seeing that he didn't dislike him at all, Zhang Ruoxuan's heart relaxed, and she was faintly happy. Shen Wan'er looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but smile slightly, she could see that it was in Zhang Ruoxuan's heart. Zhang You, the half-born illegitimate brother, is probably heavier than Zhang Yunxiu and Zhang Jingxiu's brothers.

Zhang Ruoxuan and Shen Wan'er did not shy away, they were young and beautiful, and they were beautiful, and the two pretty maids next to them were also first-class. Chu Quanfu is just an ordinary carpenter, where has he seen such a situation, he looks more and more cramped and uneasy, his head is lowered, and he doesn't know where to put his hands.

"Mr. Chu drinks tea, don't be embarrassed, these two are famous talented women in Beijing, and they are also the deputy editor-in-chief of my newspaper.

Chu Quanfu glanced at Zhang Ruoxuan and Shen Wan'er with some surprise, and was surprised, but the feeling of crampedness was reduced a lot, and he said in his heart Since people don't care, I'm almost fifty people, what else is there to be afraid of?

"Listen to the fifth young master, what do you mean by rebuilding the treasure ship? Didn't the imperial court stop it a long time ago? The official family also came to my house to raid it, if it weren't for the strict hiding of those materials, it would have been burned a long time ago, and now the adults want to rebuild the treasure ship, aren't they afraid of the court to investigate? ”

This is Chu Quanfu's biggest concern, when Zhang Yunxiu went to invite him, the reason why he didn't agree at the beginning was that he was afraid of getting into trouble.

The sea ban has only been open for a few years, and the shipyard of that year has long been gone, grandpa Tai was even imprisoned because he supervised the construction of treasure ships, and he is just an ordinary little carpenter, in case the court investigates, the fifth young master is the son of Xiangye, don't be afraid, isn't it himself who is unlucky?

After Zheng He, the reasons for the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty were very complicated, and later historians were quite controversial, but it was summed up as nothing more than a few points, one of them, the people and the money, although Zheng He went to sea, the economic benefits were very rich, but all the benefits were obtained by the royal family, and the scholars and doctors looked greedy and couldn't interject, so they tried their best to advocate that it was useless to go to sea.

Second, the essence of Zheng He's voyage to the West was not to trade at sea, but to find Emperor Jianwen. At that time, Zhu Di once sent two groups of men and horses to find Emperor Jianwen, one was Hu Hu (Ying), and the other was Zheng He's fleet.

It is inconclusive whether the historian of Emperor Jianwen has been found, but after the death of Zhu Dixue, who was the most supportive of navigational activities, everyone was busy fighting for power, and no one had the heart to pay attention to the gray-haired old Zheng He, who was almost old at that time, and his seemingly unrealistic sailing feats.

Then, the southeastern family controlled the maritime trade, and they had a huge influence in the DPRK and China, and they fully advocated the sea ban, naturally out of their own interests.

The gentry class of the Ming Dynasty had the best welfare, and they did not have to pay taxes for farming, so many good people had to attach their fields to their names, which was also one of the reasons for the crushing of the Ming Dynasty in the later period. They have the mouthpiece, the state wants to open mines, and they all scold the state for competing with the people for profit. These people do their best, but they don't do their jobs, they just pull their backs, anyway, for them, it's the same if they change to be the boss, they have to use scholars.

To be honest, Zhang You didn't have a good impression of these people, when the Manchu Tartars went south, the prostitutes knew how to jump into the river and die in the Ming Dynasty, and they would also write some poems like "Although the breeze is fine and difficult to shine on me, why doesn't the bright moon shine on people". In the Ming Dynasty, the gentry class had all kinds of noble bones, and they changed their bosses, and the name of "slave slave" was also very smooth.

It is also a heavy emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, the scholars of the Song Dynasty are much more backbone than those of the Ming Dynasty, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, although there are many faint monarchs, but in terms of national integrity, there is no one of them.

After a moment of silence, Zhang You retracted his thoughts, smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, the Mu Zong Dynasty has opened the sea ban, and the emperor will definitely not trouble us, as for those foreign ministers, with Lord Taifu in charge, it is estimated that they will not be able to turn up much wind and waves, the only thing to worry about is that in addition to those clans in the southeast, there are only those forces on the sea." ”

"It turns out that you have thought of it a long time ago, and the old man still wants to remind you." With the words, Zhang Juzheng walked into the courtyard wearing a light lake gauze purple robe.
