Although emperors can be romantic, they cannot be the norm, everyone has their own mission and responsibility in their lives, and the same is true for emperors.

After a period of indulgence on the island of Java, Zhu Youxiao also had to set sail again, and the next stop was the newly established Tai 0 Wan Mansion.

Following the first phase of the Pearl River Delta, Liaodong and Mobei composed of Macao, Guangzhou and coastal areas as the key construction and development areas, the newly established Taiwan Province, Java Island and Siberia are the key construction and development areas in the second phase of the Daming steam industry era.

In fact, in the entire East China Sea, it is indeed an important stronghold connecting the mainland and the vast ocean.

In this stronghold, because of its fertile soil and many excellent ports, this place can carry a large number of troops and important maritime trade materials.

Even, in order to save transportation costs, many new steam industry workshops have successively opened factories in Taiwan 0 Bay Province, so as to achieve product production and processing in Taiwan 0 Bay Province, and then directly pack and ship to other countries.

In order to meet the needs of ocean transportation, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao has asked the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau to build a Fujian and Zhejiang Branch of the Ming Shipbuilding Administration Bureau in Mawei, Fujian Province, which mainly produces civilian steamships, so as to make the steam industry not only promote military progress, but also promote the development of economic activities and scale.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not allow royal capital to monopolize the transportation industry brought about by the prosperity of trade, but when he established the Royal Steamship Merchants Bureau to take the lead in leading the transportation industry, he also encouraged the private sector to set up shipping companies to meet the transportation tasks of inland rivers and offshore waters.

Naturally, Zhu Youxiao would not object to the purchase and possession of steam engine ships by private businessmen, or even to the purchase and possession of foreign ships, because the core technology is still in the hands of the Daming Shipbuilding Bureau, even if these people get this ship, it is difficult to copy it, and even if they can understand the principles inside, they cannot find suitable materials to meet the same process requirements.

Zhu Youxiao did not want to rely on the blockade of craft products to achieve the purpose of technological blockade, he wanted to make the progress of the whole world depend on the development of the Ming Dynasty through his advanced science and technology, and the Ming Dynasty continued to make profits.

From the very beginning, the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering were established, and education was popularized first, and the Confucian system of governance was broadened and extended to multidisciplinary development, rather than using the golden finger to make guns and cannons at the beginning, it was for the Ming Dynasty to truly obtain a continuous change and progress ability, and even one day without himself, His Majesty the Emperor can still enter the electrification and even the information age.

Daming has now been in the forefront of the times, whether it is liberal arts such as economics and capital operation or science such as physics, chemistry and biology and even various materials and new material research has its own set of system, which is now no country in the world can be compared, and no country or region has fully reached the level of Daming.

Even the current West has a big gap with the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao's explicit instructions said that there is no need to prohibit the sale of high-end products in any country, because the contradiction between the Ming Dynasty and the West is now in a relatively fierce stage, therefore, in the current Ming Dynasty, it is the Ming merchants who really increase the prosperity of the steam age.

Even in the steamship transportation industry, a large number of newly established shipping companies are mainly Ming merchants, and most of the customers of the Fujian and Zhejiang Branch of the Ming Shipbuilding Bureau are still Daming's own private businessmen.

By the time Zhu Youxiao arrived in Chichicheng, Taiwan, the area was already crowded with ships, soft and hard sails, and even masts and towering chimneys were crowded on the seashore like people of different colors.

Large and small ship repair workshops and all kinds of shops and places for clothing, food, housing, transportation and even entertainment are also lined up in and out of the city, which is more than ten times more prosperous than when the Ming Dynasty had just recaptured it from the Dutch.

Nowadays, in the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, inland trade and offshore trade are almost all operated by the private economy, while royal capital only controls the ocean-going trade related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the transportation of important materials such as grain and ore on inland rivers and offshore waters.

Among them, places such as Macao and Guangzhou were mainly to satisfy the concentration of large steamship merchants and foreign merchants controlled by royal capital, and several cities in Taiwan were to meet the trade of Ming private merchants.

Therefore, when Zhu Youxiao arrived here, he found that it was a little chaotic, but the fireworks in the world were thicker, which was also the reason why there were more people on the boat in this area.

Just as there were Cao gangs when Cao Yun was developed, there are also various large and small gangs in this area today, so the new prefect of Taiwan 0 Bay does not dare to change the status quo easily, because once it is changed at will, it will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

At this time, Taiwan Prefecture was not as prosperous as later generations, except for the coastal ports, other areas were basically agricultural societies or some primitive societies, so Zhu Youxiao did not stay here for too long, so he set off for Japan.

During the period of going to Japan, Zhu Youxiao and others basically spent their lives on ships, although it was very quiet, but it lacked the charm of Java Island and the bustle of Taiwan Province.

Looking at the starry sky and listening to the sound of the waves crashing outside, Zhu Youxiao's mood became very quiet at the moment.

Now in the entire Daming Sea, there are no pirates and foreign armed forces, so there is no danger in the entire sea area, warships such war-based ships began to become very slow, and the merchant ships that were busy making money were in a hurry and fast.

Zhu Youxiao sometimes can't help but think of the maid who had a lingering time with him in the sea in the resort area of Java Island.

He misses the rusty but sultry figure and soft skin.

All the maids who had been fortunate to be in the royal resort of Java were brought to the ship this time, in order to bring them directly into the palace, after all, no one was sure if any of them would be pregnant, and it would be better to keep a record when the time came.

But Zhu Youxiao never found out who was the maid he saw that day, and the maid who lingered with him in the sea that night was obviously still a chick, that is, it was impossible to be taken away by himself, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this.

And Liu Ru often looks at Zhu Youxiao sneakily, and sometimes unconsciously glances at a place, and even wants to touch it again, but reason tells her that it is shameful to do so.

So Liu Ru still restrained herself, but like Zhu Youxiao, she also missed the stealing act that night.

"Hey, where to pour it, do you want to burn me", Zhu Youxiao saw that Liu Ru poured the tea directly on his wrist, so he hurriedly pulled away his hand and asked.

And Liu Ru only noticed that he was distracted at this time, and with a sigh, he quickly denied it.
