Jiao Fang stroked his beard, and Cheng Zhu smiled on his chest: "Enxiang may wish to implore Your Majesty to set up another factory in addition to the East Factory and the West Factory, and call it an expert factory, with the authority to supervise Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory, and be directly in charge of the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies......"

After listening to Jiao Fang's proposal, Liu Jin suddenly got up, his eyes flashed with essence, he giggled like an old hen, and clapped his hands while laughing: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!" Jin Dege is old, like a fish in water! ”

Liu Jin's mood at this time swept away the previous haze, not to mention how happy he was, since Gu Dayong tried to restore the West Factory, a piece of his heart disease could finally be eliminated.

That night, Liu Jin held a banquet and celebrated with Jiao Fang and other henchmen.

During this period, Shi Yiwen told Liu Jin what happened in the Fusi of Beizhen, and at the same time did not forget to report the matter of arranging someone to intercept and kill Wang Yangming.

Jiao Fang, who was drinking during the banquet, heard the wine glass that was sent to his lips and paused slightly, and then drank it all, not long after, Jiao Fang looked drunk, Liu Jin saw it and hurriedly sent someone to send Jiao Fang back to the house to rest.

On Jiao Fang's house, in the bedroom, Jiao Fang, who was full of alcohol, suddenly regained his shrewdness, walked to the study, knocked on the window three times, and in the blink of an eye, a figure appeared outside the window.

Jiao Fang handed over a secret letter to the other party and said, "Quickly submit it to the Overseer!" ”

East Plant

handed over Yang Yiqing to Cao Shaoqin for resettlement, and Chu Yi came to a slightly secluded courtyard in Dongchang.

In this courtyard, dozens of craftsmen were working hard between a pile of wood, and a foreman eunuch led by him was Wang Zheng, seeing Chu Yi's figure, he hurriedly greeted Chu Yi and said, "Meet the Overseer!" ”

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter, this Governor asked you to recruit skilled craftsmen, how did you do?" ”

Wang Zheng pointed to the dozens of craftsmen, and said confidently: "Don't worry, according to your instructions, I went to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ouchi, and carefully selected these dozens of skilled craftsmen, it can be said that as long as the Overseer can depict it, they will definitely be able to do it." ”

To be able to make Wang Zheng praise like this, although it is a bit exaggerated, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of these craftsmen must be extraordinary.

Chu Yi said: "Very good, you can go to the Imperial Palace with me." ”

Wang Zheng was a little curious: "Overseer, what are you doing in the Imperial Palace?" ”

Chu Yi's eyes flashed with a strange look and said, "This governor is mainly looking for something. ”

Wang Zheng saw Chu Yi's expression and reaction, and did not ask again, but followed Chu Yi and went straight to the Imperial Palace.

As always, not many people paid attention to Huang Shi Chen, but after Chu Yi took power, he promoted Chen Du to the eunuch in charge of Huang Shi Chen, and made Huang Shi Chen his own territory.

When Chu Yi and Wang Zheng appeared in the Imperial Palace, Chen Du couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly welcomed Chu Yi into the Imperial Palace.

In the living room, Chen Du said: "The overseer is here, I don't know what is going on?" ”

Chu Yi said to Chen Du: "Chen Zhangshi might as well sit down and talk." ”

The two sides have been in love for so many years, and in front of Chu Yi, Chen Du was not restrained and sat down.

I only heard Chu Yi's expression and said to Chen Du: "The person in charge has been in this palace for decades, have you ever heard the news of Zheng He's treasure ship?" ”

Chen Du was slightly stunned, and said with a little surprise on his face: "Zheng He's treasure ship? The Overseer wouldn't be looking for the data drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship! ”

As Chen Du deserved, Chu Yi only mentioned Zheng He's treasure ship, and he guessed Chu Yi's purpose.

He bowed his head slightly and said: "Yes, this governor is here for the data drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship, I don't know what to teach me?" ”

Chu Yi was indeed playing the idea of Zheng He's treasure ship data drawings, and immediately thought of Huang Shichen, even if he couldn't find it here, he could ask Chen Du and Han Chao about it.

Speaking of Zheng He's treasure ship, Chu Yi still knew a lot about it in his previous life, after all, there have always been various controversies and mysteries about Zheng He's treasure ship in later generations.

Zheng He's treasure ship is talking about the treasure ship that Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, was ordered by the Son of Yongle to go to the West seven times during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

There are many sayings about this fleet, but one thing that is recognized is that the fleet that went to the West seven times is absolutely unprecedented, and it can be called the peak of the Daming Sea fleet.

Louis, a later American scholar, once lamented: "Zheng He's fleet was a unique fleet in the history of China and the world, and there was no match for it until World War I."

Zheng He's fleet in the Western Ocean, the largest class is called a treasure ship, according to the "Ming History, Zheng He Biography" record, Zheng He sailed a total of 63 treasure ships, the largest is 44 zhang 4 feet long, 18 zhang wide, is the largest sea ship in the world at that time, equivalent to the length of 151.18 meters, 61.6 meters wide. The ship has four layers, the 9 masts on the ship can hang 12 sails, the anchor weight is several thousand catties, it takes 200 people to set sail, and a ship can accommodate 1,000 people.

Such a huge ship was already at the pinnacle in the history of the world's wooden shipbuilding, and at that time it was simply an aircraft carrier.

At that time, the reason why Chu Yi paid attention to Zheng He's treasure ship was precisely because later generations tried to replicate and reproduce the Zheng He treasure ship in the past, and it was a moment of uproar, and it was then that Chu Yi had a better understanding of Zheng He's treasure ship.

However, in the eyes of later generations, it was difficult to even query the information of Zheng He's treasure ship, and there are many legends about the loss of the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship in later generations.

One of the most famous is that during the Chenghua period of Shi Xianzong, Xianzong was instigated by an internal supervisor and wanted to go to the West to hunt for treasure, so he sent someone to the military department to ask for the drawings and materials of Zheng He's treasure ship in the West. However, Liu Daxia, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, and others secretly burned the drawings and materials of the treasure ship to cut off the idea of the Son of Heaven.

This is one of them, in addition, there are scholars who have verified that the information of Zheng He's treasure ship was not destroyed in the Ming Dynasty, but in the hands of Qianlong.

As we all know, Qianlong had emulated the Yongle Canon, repaired the four libraries, but the purpose of Qianlong's repair of the four libraries was to repair the history of the book, according to the Ming Dynasty alone nearly 10 million official documents and archives were burned, confiscated more than 3,000 kinds of banned books, more than 150,000 books, a total of more than one million books burned, even more than the four libraries of the books. Some scholars say that the Qing Dynasty repaired the whole book of the four libraries and the ancient books died!

Later generations once said that "Siku Quanshu" is actually a defective product or even a waste product of "four incomplete". What are the "four incomplete"? Because in the process of editing, an astonishing number of books have been burned, cut, altered, and misunderstood, all of which were deliberate.

Because of this, some people blame the loss of Zheng He's treasure ship information on Qianlong's Xiu Siku Quanshu and the wanton burning of various classics.

However, these are not important to Chu Yi, Emperor Chenghua has been returning to heaven for more than 30 years, but the old people in the former court are still there, not to mention the others, such as Chen Du and Han Chao in front of them, they are nearly sixty years old, and they can be said to be in the prime of life thirty years ago, and they may have some understanding of the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship.

Chen Du's eyes narrowed, looked at Chu Yi, and said in a low voice: "The overseer doesn't want to follow the example of the internal eunuch during the reign of Emperor Chenghua and persuade His Majesty to open the sea ban and make treasure ships to go down to the Western Ocean!" ”

Even Han Chao on the side also stared at Chu Yi, with a faint strange light flashing in his eyes, mentioning the Three Treasures Great Eunuch Zheng He, it is simply an idol admired and worshiped by many eunuchs, it can be said that this is the representative of their eunuchs, and he has truly made a name in history and passed on to all generations.

Thinking that Chu Yi might have to persuade the Son of Heaven to go to the West, whether it was Chen Du or Han Chao, he couldn't help but be excited, Zheng He went to the West seven times in the past, and his fame moved the world, and they couldn't help but follow the sages!

Chu Yi could guess what he was thinking just by looking at Chen Du's reactions, but the corners of Chu Yi's mouth were slightly upturned, he was looking for the drawings of Zheng He's treasure ship, not just to emulate Zheng He and go to the West!
