In recent years, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places have prospered, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity that has not been seen for many years shows the importance of various commodities to the sea.

Of course, I know that the ministers of the court and the central government have said that I am not acting right, and blindly seeking speed in a biased and strange way, but I am the head of the Ming Dynasty, if I don't make a decision, who else can I count on?

However, the person who visited me was very important, so it was difficult for me to make a decision for a while, and after thinking about it, it had to be the people around me who could best understand my intentions. ”

In the Qianqing Palace, Jing Yang listened to the emperor's words and gradually understood the meaning of the words.

Although he was a little surprised, there was nothing he could do when it came to the end.

What Zhu Houzhao said is also the truth in his heart, this person must be a close person next to the emperor, just like Emperor Yongle also chose the Three Treasures eunuch back then.

But in this current situation, he does not have a suitable eunuch available, Zhang Yong is loyal, but after all, his mind is not delicate enough, in case of any situation, he has no ink in his stomach, which is really worrying.

Then you have to choose from among the attendants.

But Xie Pi took on a lot of affairs after Jin Gui left, and he was already very busy, Yang Shen couldn't leave with a heavy responsibility, and Fan Yuchang, who had just entered the attendant room in the New Year, was still young and inexperienced.

So compared to each other, there is only one Jingyang left.

This also has something to do with his daughter, anyway, as a father in this era, he can allow his daughter to do this, in fact, it is already very enlightened.

Normal people will be like Concubine Shu, beating and scolding, and they are not allowed to touch it at all, how can they have the conditions to consult a large number of materials and write a book by themselves after they are finished?

Therefore, considering multiple factors, Jing Yang is suitable.

Of course......

Zhu Houzhao also understands, "When you go thousands of miles, you not only have to say goodbye to your parents, wife and children, but also worry about the storms and waves at sea, and you will inevitably face many difficulties and obstacles." I know you probably don't want to. ”

The emperor could say this,

Jing Yang can also think like this,

But he must not say that.

If the emperor sends a task, and the courtiers don't want to do it, then many things can't be done.

Jing Yang naturally understood the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, he kowtowed and thanked him, "Your Majesty has an order, and the ministers dare to disobey?" Don't say that across the ocean, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and the minister will not frown! ”

Whether it's sincere or not,

When he said this, of course Zhu Houzhao wanted to praise, "Good! With Aiqing's words, I know that I also have Bo Wanghou!! ”

Zhang Qian made two envoys to the Western Regions, so he was awarded the title of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and listed as the Marquis of Bowang.

If today's son takes this as an analogy, he suddenly planted a seed of desire in Jing Yang's heart: the envoy of the Han Dynasty can be a marquis, but the envoy of the Ming Dynasty can't be a marquis?

The vitality of desire is very tenacious, and once planted, it will hardly disappear, especially Jing Yang himself is also a competitive person.

"Jing Yang, tell me, what do you need for your envoy, as long as Da Ming has it, I will find it."

"The minister has nothing else to ask for, but May His Majesty give him ten days of rest, so that he can tell his family about parting."

Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned, he was actually a little unbearable, but as the Son of Heaven, at this time, he didn't want to let the woman's benevolence bother his mind, he immediately adjusted, "This thing is easy to do, you will go home now." Remember, explain well. Also, didn't I say that Princess Xiuyu likes your daughter very much? Back to me, I asked someone to make a special token for your daughter, allowing her to enter and leave the palace and always be with Xiuyu! ”

This is an extra gift, Jing Yang finally put his mind at ease, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Always be with the princess, this is a great resource, at least after he leaves, the family will not suffer in the capital, after all, with Princess Xiuyu as the backing, who would dare to make a mistake?

Zhu Hou looked at his back and thought of Zhang Qian's detain by the Huns on his way out.

This way, through the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca to India, India, as well as the Portuguese and Dutch, these white pigs have no moral concept at all, and they are basically the same as pirates, in other words, they are all pirates all the way.

In order to prevent Jing Yang from having an accident, and to prevent people from being detained, they will waste time waiting here.

Zhu Houzhao still felt that there should be a fleet to follow him.

Originally, it was not particularly difficult to assemble a fleet of 20,000 people about the same size as Zheng He, but Japan and Manchuria were using troops at the same time, and they could not be exchanged at once.

In addition, it is crucial that the current Ming merchant ships are all over the southeast coast, maintaining a certain naval size and presence to deter pirates. If all the dispatches are made, the rich southeast coast is like a beautiful woman who has taken off her clothes and is displayed in front of others, and if there is an accident, it will be the shaking of the mountains and rivers.

"At most, we can only send him 3,000 men."

Zhu Houzhao muttered, there should be no one to attack inexplicably, as long as it is enough to protect himself, it should be fine.

After arranging this time, Zhu Houzhao was concerned about Zhang Tianrui and the various colleges that Jingli was preparing.

He has now used the right people, think about the people he put in various places, Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren, Zhang Cong, Yan Song...... These fierce men are in charge of their own affairs, and they only need to report on everything, as for saying that the development of things is beyond their control, it is impossible, and there is no need for the emperor to worry too much.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is now concerned about science, industry, diplomacy and other directional affairs.

And to be honest, his ability is bound to be inferior to Yang Yiqing's, let him carefully manage Xinjiang's military training and city building at this time, it is equivalent to Chairman Jiang doing command, and it is better not to do it if he does it.

On the other hand, science and industry, he can also make some suggestions with some experience of later generations.

Although scientific development requires a complete policy system as a guarantee, whether there is progress or not is sometimes a matter of flash of inspiration, and now Zhu Houzhao's head has a lot of 'flash of inspiration'.

So after about a month, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhang Tianrui to gather the elders he was looking for and enter the palace together.

There were only six people in total, and the Son of Heaven set up a very simple banquet and entertained them.

Among the six, Zhu Houzhao recognized four, Zhang Tianrui, Tan Yunxian, Wu Hailei and Zuo Zonglu.

The remaining two, one is the salt maker found by Zhang Tianrui, surnamed Shen, named Youyun, the name is a bit strange, in fact, he is a man, and he is a man with very uneven facial features and a slightly ugly appearance.

The other person is the person in charge of the artillery design of the Ordnance Bureau, named Tao Zhongdao, he is relatively normal, with a long face and a long beard, nothing special.

Zhang Tianrui and Tan Yunxian don't mention, one of them is in charge of administration, the other is studying traditional Chinese medicine, and the main ones are the four behind.

Zhu Houzhao made some preparations, he said during the banquet: "The reason why I attach importance to scientific research, in the final analysis, I also understand a little, I believe that the so-called magic trick of time must contain laws. And there are many things in life that are worth studying as long as you observe them carefully, such as ice melting when it heats up, turning into water, and then heating up and turning into water vapor. And what about oil? Will it be the same as water? For example, if sugar falls into the water, it disappears immediately, but you should have seen that some leaves do not dissolve in water, why? What's behind this?

As far as I can see, the ever-changing nature of the world can be carefully studied from three aspects: arithmetic, physics, and chemistry. The first two are all understood by you, and the third chemistry is in this word, I don't know if you have noticed that some substances in this world can be transformed into each other, and some substances are combined to produce magical changes. For example, refining silver from silver ore is a kind of law, and our ancestors have actually been using this law, but they have not summarized it much. ”

The four people in the back, Zhu Houzhao, have more expectations for them, "I have first mentioned the matter of refining coarse salt and turning it into fine salt. You should study this carefully, the so-called coarse salt, according to what I can see, is just dirty in it, just find a way to get rid of it. ”

The group pondered and asked, "How can we get rid of those things that are so inseparable from the salt itself that they are so inseparable?" ”

Zhu Houzhao asked: "If a piece of wood is completely wrapped in an iron sheet, what method do you need to take out the iron sheet now?" ”

Tao Zhongdao could immediately answer, "Just burn it with fire." ”

"Not bad. The reason is the same, since some of the ingredients in salt are different from salt, since they belong to different substances, they will inevitably have different characteristics, just like fire can burn wood, not iron, the key is to find this method. Once you've found a way, we'll look into why. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned and asked You Ji to bring the things over, "These are some things that I have written with my heart, which can be regarded as a framework and foundation for you. I have defined some concepts in it, and you can further study them accordingly, and you will surely achieve something in the future. ”

These three books are, of course, the basic content of some mathematics, physics and chemistry that he wrote from memory.

At this point in time, it should be more logical to take it out, after all, Daming has also begun to have some people who have just touched some doorways.

"Gaseous, liquid, solid...... ...... evaporation, gasification, sublimation? These weirdos are also really weird, and after reading them, they asked frantically: "Your Majesty, water can also be gas?" How is the gas seen? ”

To be honest, he is not very good at these things, but in the end, he is compulsory, and it can still be done by building the framework content of each course. After all, no one doesn't know how to explain evaporation, right?

The same is true in mathematics, such as basic graph research, area finding, number line definition and application, and so on.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Don't worry, you can enter the palace from time to time in the near future, let's discuss them one by one." I have said that everything in the world is infinitely mysterious, and even if you spend your whole life, you can only get a glimpse of the door. ”
