"I think that His Majesty wants to teach Tessie's science and technology in Xia. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The task that Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng received was to study firearms, while Song Yingxing was responsible for researching crops, and then thought that since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he had always relied on Taixi's science and technology to establish contact with scholars, so Tang Ruowang guessed.

"What Mr. Tang said is very true, my Huaxia has always been inclusive since ancient times." From the Tang and Song dynasties to the Ming Dynasty, the elites of China were extremely interested in the knowledge from abroad, in the past, Wang Xuance brought back sugar making technology after pacifying Tianzhu, and Huang Daopo also learned advanced textile technology from the Li people, and these technologies were also carried forward in the Central Plains, and now the science and technology of the Daimyo have begun to gradually lag behind the West, so Li You does not mind learning from these missionaries," In the past, Mr. Xu Guangqi and the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci translated the Western classic "Geometric Originals", so I hope that Mr. Tang can inherit Mr. Matteo Ricci's career and organize missionaries in the Ming Dynasty to translate all Western scientific works. ”

Li You's scientific knowledge in some fields has far exceeded the limits of this era, but it may be a bit unrealistic to let him reproduce and compile various teaching materials, so he pinned his hopes on these Taixi missionaries, of course, this matter cannot be left to them to do, "I will let Mr. Xu Guangqi preside over this matter, Mr. Tang, you will lead the missionaries in the Ming Dynasty to assist Mr. Xu in carrying out this work, I wonder if Mr. Tang is willing?" ”

Xu Guangqi had converted to Catholicism under the influence of Matteo Ricci, so John Tang was very satisfied with this candidate, and he also thought that he could cooperate well with Xu Guangqi, but the reason why he crossed the ocean to Daming was not to spread scientific knowledge, so he did not immediately agree, but asked Li You another question, "Your Majesty, are you only allowed to translate scientific works?" Or can something else be translated, like some doctrinal article? Spreading faith is John Tang's most fundamental wish, so he would rather risk angering Li You to ask a question.

"If the articles you translate can satisfy me and follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then I will not only allow you to translate such articles, but also build a church for you in the capital, allowing you to preach in certain specific areas." In order to gain this knowledge, Li You had to make some concessions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great willingness to do this work." Finally got the answer he wanted, and the excited Tang Ruowang immediately agreed, "In the next place, I will summon all the missionaries who are well-versed in scientific knowledge in the Ming Dynasty to come to the capital to engage in this great cause, and if it is not enough, I can also ask for help from Macao, Nanyang, and even Taixi, and ask them to send more missionaries who meet the requirements to do this work." ”

"Well, I also need you to gather craftsmen who are good at building ships to help Daming build new ships." By this time, it seemed that relying solely on the treasure ship and Zheng Chenggong's battleship drawings was no longer enough, so Li You once again thought of looking for more advanced warships from the Taixi Kingdoms.

Daming's coastal defense can not always rely on Zheng Zhilong, Daming needs to build its own navy after all, and to build a navy must have a ship, it is conceivable that this will be a long work, because rewarding the navy is much more difficult than training an army with a star, and fifteen years is probably only enough for Li You to plant a seed.

"I'm going to do my best to do this." Nowadays, the construction of warships is a secret that is strictly controlled by various nations, but in order to spread the glory of God to the East, John Tong is willing to take risks.

"Well, in that case, you go down first, and my appointment will be officially issued later." Tang Ruowang also solved, so the only person who came to visit today was Zheng Zhifeng, Li You gave an order, and Zheng Zhifeng, who had been waiting for a long time, approached the study under the leadership of Cao Huachun, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the mountain and shouted long live.

"Get up." This person is different from the previous few polite literati, with dark skin and a trace of cruelty and recklessness in his eyes, but Zheng Zhifeng's unruly nature was not worth mentioning in front of Li You before, he showed a little momentum and pressed Zheng Zhifeng to the point that he couldn't raise his head, and he only now realized that His Majesty the Emperor in front of him had just killed more than 30,000 murderous Jiannu, and when it came to the ability to kill, he was higher than they didn't know where it was.

"Zheng Zhifeng, why didn't Zheng Zhilong come?" There is no need to be so polite to deal with these rough people, Li You asked straight to the point.

"After receiving His Majesty's will, my brother was so moved that I couldn't wait to leave for the north to come to the capital to meet him, but unfortunately my brother was infected with the epidemic and couldn't move, and my brother was afraid of delaying His Majesty's major events, so he sent grass people to the capital first." Zheng Zhifeng said with an excuse that had been prepared for a long time.

This is also a reasonable excuse, and Li You didn't want to continue to entangle, so he asked directly, "Then your Zheng family brothers are willing to do things for me?" ”

"This is the honor of the grass people, Your Majesty has a will, and my brother will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." Deterred by Li You's momentum, Zheng Zhifeng didn't dare to refuse in the slightest, of course, promising now and doing it in the future are two different things.

"I want you to do two things, the first is that I know that your Zheng family now almost monopolizes the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, so I plan to supply you." Nowadays, the main products of foreign trade are silk, tea, porcelain and other things, and in Nanjing, there are also weaving eunuchs in Nanjing, and there are also internal servants in tea and porcelain, so that they can first share some benefits from the sea trade and use them to expand their own internal treasury, and secondly, to take away the benefits from the Jiangnan gentry and gradually weaken their strength.

"Well, I don't know how much cargo Your Majesty can provide?" If a stable supply channel for goods can be obtained, it will also be very beneficial to the Zheng family, and Zheng Zhifeng is tempted.

"You go to talk to Cao Huachun about this matter, and you need to say in advance that this sea trade is subject to taxes." Haimao has created countless rich people, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not get much benefit from it, "Of course, the specific amount also let Cao Huachun tell you, you can rest assured, it will not be too high at the beginning." ”

"The grass people obey the order, dare to ask Your Majesty what else is going on?" Zheng Zhifeng asked.
