In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, 1502 AD.

In this year, the Portuguese voyage fleet, led by da Gama, went to India again.

It is said that when he first landed in India, Dagama said that he had come for spices, gold, and preaching.

Judging from his actions, Dagama's three trips to India, and even his final role as Viceroy of India, were all plundering, deception, and massacre.

He burned to death more than 300 people aboard the Egyptian merchant ship Miri, shelled port cities that India did not want to trade, and obtained large quantities of spices and gold through deception and seizure and extortion.

But it didn't matter, da Gama was regarded as a hero in Portugal, and countless Portuguese listened to his story of wealth and embarked on the road to the sea.

In the Americas, Spain at this time had not yet found a large silver mine, and sugar cane plantations were still being opened up on Cuba, Haiti, the Bahamas and other islands.

The indigenous people of these islands had died in large numbers, and the black slave trade began to appear sporadically.

The myth of the wealth of Columbus and others is also stimulating the Spaniards, whether they are hooligans or criminals, to prepare to raise money to go to the American continent in search of gold and silver.

Historically, this primitive greed and profit drive was the driving force behind colonization, and it also led to the transformation of history into world history. After that, the silver of the Americas will be like butterfly wings, blowing a storm around the world, and trade will officially enter the world trade.

At this time in the East, Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, after more than a month of consultation with the ministers, issued a holy decree.

The requirement of this holy decree was that the Qiantang Naval Division, the Dinghai Division, the Fuzhou Naval Division, the Guangzhou Naval Division, and the various coastal guard posts began to reorganize their armaments and build ships.

It's just that it is difficult for the imperial court to allocate military spending, so it adopts the method of tax interception, requiring the three provinces to provide 50,000 taels of silver every year to train the army.

As for whether this money can reach the hands of the guards and the sailors, Hongzhi and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces cannot guarantee it.

However, the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to spending this money was that the country was in a difficult situation, and there was really no extra silver.

Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to compromise and used such a compromise method.

In addition, he also ordered to imitate the breech guns, plate armor, and binoculars sent by Eastern Qin, and originally wanted to imitate a few four-wheeled carriages, but considering Wenchen's gossip, he also put the carriage into the warehouse to eat ashes.

And in Meaux, Yan Zheng, who was compiling the "Philosophy of Yan Zheng", also issued an order.

This directive is the first special decree of the monarch in the history of the Chinese Kingdom, and the content is also very simple, that is, all walks of life must overcome a series of achievements within two years.

Including animal-powered rice harvester, animal-powered rice transplanter, rifling machine, threaded gun latch, these are the first machinery factory, the first iron and steel plant, the first mold factory, the first gun factory need to ponder.

Although there are drawings, these instruments have involved a lot of knowledge, and the simple control of the gear involute and constant speed transmission of the rifling machine is enough for these people to calculate for a long time.

Bigger, better, and more suitable for steam transmission weaving machines, this is what textile mills need to ponder. Within three years, a cotton textile industry must also be established, so that the cloth production of Eastern Qin will be more diversified.

The construction of the porcelain factory was also put on the agenda, and the number of ceramic craftsmen from the Ming Kingdom had reached more than 30 people, enough to establish a porcelain industry in Meaux.

There are also glass factories that have also been asked to try to produce a gas lampshade, which can be combined with some iron parts to create lamps that are more suitable for lighting.

In addition, the animal husbandry station, the breeding station, the agricultural technology station, and almost all departments have received the overcoming plan requested by Yan Zheng, so that they can either increase production or learn and improve technology in three years.

The army has also begun to carry out the three-year expansion plan, and the various study groups have also given them a series of tasks.

Yan Zheng attaches so much importance to the past three years because he doesn't want to let go of the perfect opportunity for Hongzhi's death.

And the Ming Dynasty began to rectify the coastal guard posts and ordered the sailors to step up shipbuilding, also to deal with the possible threat of the Eastern Qin.

From this moment on, the contradiction between Dongqin and Daming began to urge changes between the two sides.

According to the identity of the contradictions, the more the contradictions between the two sides intensify in the future, the more likely they are to usher in tremendous changes, and the two sides will also absorb factors that are beneficial to themselves and continue to grow.

Yan Zheng was convinced of this theory, so he gave Da Ming a monkey version of the breech-75 gun, in order to let Da Ming copy it.

In this way, even if the Ming Dynasty was greatly injured in the southeast half of the wall, he still had a new weapon that could be used to deal with those alien races riding horses.

Anyway, the monkey version of the breech 75 cannon has always been the bulk of the arms trade in the Eastern Qin Dynasty.

Dagang Township, Sunset Village.

Yang Gui, a pig plower, has become an agricultural technician because of his steadfastness and willingness to learn.

Last year, his wife gave birth to a son for him, and the family had a very prosperous life.

His wife has changed her name to Yang Naima and can speak something new.

In order to learn new words, at the beginning, she used some food every day, attracting the neighbor's elementary school children to teach her slowly.

Over time, she also learned some words and could speak some new words.

Her enthusiasm for learning infected Yang Gui, and the husband and wife helped each other, and Yang Gui soon became illiterate.

The benefits of fast literacy were also reflected in him, and because of his excellent learning and his skill in plowing pigs, he was selected as an agricultural technician and sent to Meaux for systematic study.

Now in the village, he is also regarded as the number one person, and he is quite respected by the whole village.

"Namo, pack some bags for me, I'm going to be away for a few days." On this day, after going to the village for a meeting, Yang Gui said when he entered the door.

"Are you going to study in Meaux?" Namo Wada asked, carrying the child behind his back.

Yang Gui shook his head, teased his son and said, "It's for me to go back to Fujian."

"Back to Fujian?" Namo Wada panicked, "How long will it take?" ”

"It won't be long!" Yang Gui was also a little helpless: "The news above is that each village selects a few representatives, and the people from the same hometown who go back to live well talk about this side, see if they can't come."

Namo Wada was stunned and said, "Why did I choose you?"

"There's no way, it's said that the township decided, and it's hard to shirk! A few days ago, Jun Shang issued an order to let everyone make their own contributions to Huaxia Kingdom. ”

"Alas, the king is a good king," Namo Heda understood that this matter could not be changed, she looked at Yang Gui reluctantly and said: "The road is hard, you have to be careful."

Yang Gui smiled, pinched his son's face and said, "I'll be careful, you take care of the children at home, and when I go back, see if there are any novelties, and buy some for you to come back."

Namo Wada nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Then your hometown, do you still have relatives?"

"I don't know! Probably, a few years later, who knows! After finishing speaking, a wry smile appeared on Yang Gui's face.

"If only I could go back to my hometown!" Namo Wada said with some sadness.

"There will be a chance in the future!" Yang Gui glanced at her deeply.

Namo Wada was stunned for a while, turned sideways and asked Yang Gui to take his son down, and ran to pack his bags.

In Dongqin, he has married and had children, and his life is 10,000 times better than before, but in his heart, he still remembers his parents and relatives.

She knew in her heart that it would be difficult to return to her hometown and see her relatives again in this life.

The only possibility is that he got ahead in Dongqin and saved a lot of money in Dongqin, so that it is possible to go back to his hometown and go to his relatives, which is also the biggest regret in this life.

So she worked hard to learn Chinese and try to make herself literate, but the more she learned, the more she felt that there were too many people who were better than her.

Her status as a widow is also invisible, so that she can't make much money, and she can't even go to work in the factory.

While packing her luggage, her eyes were red, but she was still very happy that her husband could go back to his hometown.
