The delegation of the Taixi countries to the enthronement ceremony of the Ming Emperor first attended the coronation ceremony of the British king in London, England.

After replenishing and preparing again, they gathered into a large fleet and set off for Daming together.

They bypassed the Iberian Peninsula and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, which has become more and more customary to be called the Great Qin Sea.

In the waterway of the Daqin Sea, ships flying the Ming flag can often be seen.

Most of the ships that go to the west coast of Taixi and the west coast of Mozhou and the east coast of North Yinzhou will take the Daqin Sea channel.

Of course, there are also ships from the Tessie countries on this waterway.

However, as the fleet continued to move eastward, there would be fewer and fewer ships from the Taixi countries, and more and more ships from the Ming Dynasty.

When it came to the Xihai Canal, which connects the Great Qin Sea and the Little Western Ocean, there were basically only the ships of the Ming Dynasty left.

Because after crossing the West Sea Canal and entering the small Western Ocean, it can already be regarded as the "hinterland" of the Ming Dynasty.

After the British withdrew from Tianzhu, there was no power of the Taixi people in the entire Little West.

Even around the Ming Ocean, there is a Mexican colony of the Spaniards, which occupies a part of the coastline in the eastern part of the Ming Ocean.

But around the small western ocean, there is a coastline of the Ming people.

The frozen Antarctic continent in the south is now owned by the Ming Dynasty by default.

Because the places near the South Pole are all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Taixi countries promised in the League of Nations not to open up land outside of Mozhou and Yinzhou.

However, it was not without Taixi merchants who would go to the waters ruled by the Ming Dynasty to operate shipping business.

It's just that this type of ship will basically choose to register in Daming.

The small Western Ocean is managed by the Ming Navy and the Maritime Jinyi Guard.

When they manage and inspect the ships of the Ming Dynasty, although they may not be able to be completely honest and honest, they must at least make a posture of treating everyone equally.

But in the face of the ships of the Tessie countries, it is full of all kinds of randomness.

In addition, Daming's shipbuilding industry is indeed the world's leading, Daming's ships are indeed sturdy and durable, and the key is that they are not very expensive.

So even if it is a merchant from the Taixi countries, when he participates in the maritime shipping business.

In particular, shipowners who operate businesses involving Daming will basically choose to buy Daming's ships directly.

At the same time, it is directly registered with the management agency of Daming.

Then hire the boss of the Ming ship to deal with the Ming Navy and the Jinyi Guard at sea.

This kind of ship is theoretically the ship of the Ming Dynasty, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ming Navy and the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Sea, so of course it is necessary to fly the flag of the Ming Dynasty.

The kings and nobles of the Tessie kingdoms, well-known scholars and scientists, and merchants, they lived in a large fleet.

There are also a large number of professionals hired by the royal family, nobles, and wealthy businessmen to record the whole process of this event using film and recording equipment produced by the Ming Dynasty.

It includes all kinds of novel ships and sights they encountered along the way, the affairs of the kings and major nobles of various countries, and the various ideas discussed by scholars.

In the course of this voyage, the West Sea Canal was the first place that was able to attract everyone, attracting the attention of people of all levels and types.

When the fleet entered the West Sea Canal, everyone who had the opportunity to get on deck came to the deck.

Entering the West Sea Canal, the fleet officially entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the artificial canal itself can already be called an engineering marvel.

The West Sea Canal is a canal, not a natural strait, in which, according to the rules of the League of Nations, there is no public sea.

The internal waters are all within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The canal management office of Xihai Province of Daming is in accordance with the order of the Honglu Temple of Daming and signed by the emperor.

For this fleet of Tessie's elites, a relatively brief inspection process was carried out.

After all, they were invited by the emperor, guests to attend the emperor's enthronement ceremony, and not ordinary businessmen.

After checking the list of entourages provided by the imperial courts of various countries, and confirming that there were no obvious safety hazards in the fleet, they let their fleets enter the canal.

There was no toll charged, and special pilot boats were directly arranged to take them through the canal in a column.

The elites from all walks of life in Taixi observed the vast waters on both sides of the ship, and many people couldn't help but instinctively express their feelings.

Princess Charlotte, as the "Great Mingtong", took the initiative to introduce the situation of the canal itself to her father, the King of England, and the major British nobles and scholars who surrounded the King.

"The West Sea Canal is one of the most important canals and waterways in the world.

"It really connects China and Europa, and connects the waters of the Little West with the waters of the Atlantic.

"The point is, in addition to the fact that it is a man-made canal, its actual navigability has exceeded that of many natural straits.

"The width of the water surface is more than 500 meters, the depth of the water has reached 20 meters, and the key is to have a two-way independent channel.

"At present, all ships in the world are able to sail directly through the canal with a full load.

"As we have all seen, as long as His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty gives permission, there is no need to charge for the passage of ships, and the managers do not even need to check the draught of the ships.

"Because at present, ships from all over the world can't reach the bottom of the canal.

"The largest oil tanker currently under construction in Daming can barely use up the carrying capacity of this canal.

"In the future, the largest ships in the world will also be built according to the standards of this canal."

Charlotte's introduction caused a lot of admiration around her.

The aristocrats and bureaucrats mainly lamented the strength of the Ming court and the power of the Ming Emperor.

"The authority of His Majesty the Ming Emperor is unparalleled in the world, and this level of engineering can only be promoted by the Ming court."

"The operation of the whole project has always been stable and smooth, and I have not heard of any major problems in the construction process."

"For more than two years, whether we are the Tessians, the Ottomans or the Great Cannibals, we have all controlled the narrow isthmus of the West Sea."

"The point is, when we were in control of the West Sea Peninsula, we all thought about building a canal here."

"But the problem is that neither ancient Rome, nor the Great Food Empire, nor the Ottoman Empire really opened up the canal."

"After the Ming people took control of this place, they immediately built a navigable canal."

"More than a decade after the end of the World War, this canal has become like a strait."

"The Ming people are different from us, and the Ming court is not the same as us, and the gap between us is too big......"

The concerns of scholars are somewhat similar to those of the aristocracy and bureaucracy, but in a markedly different direction.

What they seem to be concerned with is not the correctness of the learning itself at all, but a perception or emotion based on the existing learning.

"This canal is really a miracle of human engineering, not the effect achieved by the project itself, but more importantly, the management of the whole construction."

"There were no large-scale worker casualties, and His Majesty the Ming Emperor was wealthy and benevolent, providing adequate protection for all workers."

"On the other hand, in our Europa countries, since the classical era, the royal family and the aristocracy have long been in debt to the bankers."

"They're not so much thinking about taxes as they're thinking about the interest on bonds."

"It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty only cherishes the Ming people and has no interest in foreign races."

"There were a lot of cannibals here, but they basically didn't have the opportunity to participate in the project, but they were all relocated to other places......

"His Majesty the Renwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that if you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will lose your land, and only the land that your own people have in your hands is the land that really belongs to your own country and ethnic group."

That's not how it is explained at all, is it? It was supposed to gain the trust of the local people, even if the land was temporarily lost, there was a chance to regain it, and Daming's operation overseas was to drive people away, and then as long as the land, ......"

So how exactly should this sentence be interpreted? Is it right to use it here? ”

"You have misunderstood, this sentence cannot be simply taken at the surface, but must be understood in combination with the situation at the time, the actual goal of His Majesty Emperor Shizu at that time was to ask the generals to pay attention to the destruction of the enemy's living force, and not to care too much about the competition for one city and one place."

"Yes, yes, as long as you completely destroy the enemy and let your people colonize this land, you can truly control this land."

"The Ming Dynasty moved the Great Cannibals in the Great Food Region, drove the Mo people deeper inland in the eastern region of Mozhou, and then let the Ming people immigrate over, the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty will not leave when they come, they will become people here!"

"That's what we did in North Yinzhou, we drove the Yin people inland to Yinzhou, and then used our people to take over the local land."

"I don't think what you said is right, how can the Ming people do the same thing as us British?"

Next to the scholars, there are some of the most famous businessmen.

They also looked at the wide and calm water, and their concerns were completely different from those of scholars and aristocrats.

They looked at the canal as if they saw piles of gold.

More than one businessman, more than once, looked at the canal and sighed:

"It's not seawater flowing here, it's all golden sand!"

"If I can contract this canal, I can at least double the income of the Ming Emperor!"

"It's more than double, the Ming Emperor is too extensive about the canal, too many people can pass through this canal for free."

"The most reasonable price should be close to the cost of going around to the cape of the Western Ocean."

"Yes, the cost of fuel consumption is close to that of simply calculating the cost, but if it can shorten the delivery time, it will allow merchants to choose to take the Xihai Canal instead of going to the Western Cape!"

But in this harmony, there are also people who have put forward different opinions, and this disagreement also directly fired the map cannon:

"If you had contracted this canal from the beginning, would you have built it to the scale it is today?

"Even if you have the same amount of money?

"Do you think you are wiser than His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and more wise than His Majesty the Emperor's scholars and ministers?

"His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers are interested in the long-term future, the connection and promotion of human civilization, and the benefit to all mankind.

"Rather than the simple business interests that have taken over your minds."

Such an open and direct fire of the map cannon should be angry under normal circumstances.

But the surrounding businessmen looked at this person's appearance, and basically didn't have the idea of spraying with him.

The main thing is that this person is an alternative in the first place.

Robert Owen, a British factory owner and famous "shopkeeper".

He took the initiative to emulate the management system of large food manufacturers.

Workers were given more time to rest, and the working hours were reduced from 13 or 4 hours to 10 hours of the standard of the big food system.

Following the factory management method of the big food department, a higher standard dormitory was built for the workers, and environmental greening facilities were designed in the dormitory area only for the wealthy.

Ming-style radio was installed in the dormitory area to play Ming music and radio programs for workers.

Schools and kindergartens were built on the site to provide basic education for the children of workers as well as those legally working in the UK.

In the eyes of traditional British businessmen, this is an outrageous operation.

He didn't have the ability of the Great Food Prince, but he got the disease of the Great Food Country.

Many people thought that Owen was bound to fail, that he would lose his family's property, and that he would eventually have nothing.

But outrageously, Owen succeeded in this way.

The workers at Owen's factory are very efficient and the quality of the goods produced is among the best in their peers.

Therefore, the sales of his products are also very good, and he can be recognized by the middle class, and is considered the "conscience of British industry".

Finally, and most importantly, he has entered the supply chain of the big food system, and can undertake the outsourcing business of some big food companies and factories.

On this basis, his maverick and success have won the attention of the British royal family.

This time I was going to Daming to visit and fulfill, and Owen, a special businessman who had a relationship with the big food industry, was naturally selected.

Owen feels very honored, of course, very lucky, and at the same time very excited.

Owen has been fascinated by the former Prince of Great Food, who is now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Owen recently heard that the Ming Emperor had decided to gradually promote the management system of the Great Food System throughout the Ming Dynasty.

and increase the workers' monthly rest to six days.

Owen believes that the management philosophy of the Ming Emperor coincides with himself in many places.

In the eyes of others, Owen is imitating the management system of the big food system.

But Owen himself didn't think so, and Owen felt that according to his own thinking, he should also adopt a similar management method to the big food system.

So Owen regarded the Ming Emperor as a confidant.

However, Owen felt that there were still differences in the details of the two's thoughts.

Owen believes that with the energy of the Ming Emperor, it is completely possible to do more and more in-depth reforms and attempts.

For example, Daming should already have the ability to gradually implement compulsory education for all.

For example, Owen argues that a kind of collectively-owned manufacturer could be added to the existing system of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Owen also agrees with the current approach of the Ming Emperor.

On the basis of the existing traditional order, it is a reasonable and prudent choice to gradually promote the humanized management system of factories and commercial banks.

The ultimate goal is to enable workers to demonstrate their abilities and passions as human beings.

Owen also prepared a petition, hoping that the Ming Emperor could support him in making some new attempts.
