Chapter 423: As long as you live long, the sun will never set
To be honest, the emperor had a clear understanding of the view that Daming Technology has lagged behind the world a few years ago.
Casting guns, seafaring ships, and that's just the surface. It is in the natural sciences and basic theories that are the most critical issues.
Without a solid foundation, how can a high-rise building be built? Without a theoretical basis, it is natural that we are backward in practice.
In a few years, the emperor also knew that he was pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, the foundation was not solid, the vanity was not real, and without his guidance and suggestions, the future development lacked stamina.
However, the forcibly raised technology made the Ming army equipped with world-leading weapons and equipment, and its combat power was also improved to the extent that it was enough to compete with Xiyi.
At present, various basic disciplines have been set up in the Academy of Sciences, because of the intervention of the emperor, the knowledge structure is more reasonable and the level is more high-end.
After another twenty or thirty years at most, almost two generations of efforts, the scientific and technological level of the Ming Empire, whether it is the theoretical basis or practical application, will undoubtedly stand on top of the world.
You must know that although the West has made great progress in basic science, it is still still in the process of exploring and trying.
However, the scientific theories added by the emperor are the most correct, and the path he takes is also straightforward. How much time has been saved, how much controversy has been reduced, and it has been completely possible for the Ming Empire to achieve corner overtaking.
I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the ironclad warships of the Ming Dynasty spitting smoke, blocking the door of Xiyi's house, putting a few cannons, and then making Xiyi kneel down and sing about conquest.
Looking at Zhao Dabao's distant back, the emperor narrowed his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
Hope is good, and there is only one condition for it to be realized, and that is that the emperor lives long enough. In ancient times, it was an emperor again, as long as you maintain more and exercise more, it is not very difficult to live to the age of fifty or sixty, right?
The emperor stood up and did a few chest expansion exercises, feeling that for the future of the Ming Empire, he had to work hard and couldn't be lazy all the time.
………………
"Lao Li, you have to exercise regularly, don't stay still." Yan Siqi's face was full of red light, it was blown by the sea breeze and the sun, and as soon as he returned to Shanghai, he taught Li Dan earnestly in the Chamber of Commerce.
Li Dan rolled his eyes, snorted, and said, "You keep running out, but I have to guard the shop." There is no one in the Chamber of Commerce, what if something happens? ”
Yan Siqi smiled and arched his hand to Li Dan, "Brother Li works hard, and he will be in the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so he will share the burden for Brother Li." ”
"Do you still know how to lose?" Li Dan waved his hand helplessly and said, "I told you, Borneo has huge development prospects, why are you staring at Dongfan?" ”
Yan Siqi lowered his eyes, picked up the tea and drank it slowly, and only after a long time did he raise his head and said: "Because Fujian is close to Dongfan, because Dongfan can be protected by the Ming Navy, because Dongfan already has thousands of elite garrisons. ”
"It's also because there are your people who immigrated to Dongfan." Li Dan found another reason for Yan Siqi and said: "It's okay for you to think about them, but I still have to say that you have to take a long-term view." In the future, Borneo will be far better than Dongfan. ”
After a pause, Li Dan solemnly added: "The most important thing is that if Borneo develops well, the benefits to you and me are unimaginable. ”
Yan Siqi felt that he had developed well in Dongfan, not only immigrating from Fujian, but also the construction of ports and manors, and he was already satisfied as a place to retire.
He didn't care about Li Dan's words, but he also asked politely: "Please Brother Li make it clear, how much benefit can the barbarian land of Borneo bring?" ”
