At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, due to the old ministry of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, a small number of Japanese robbers made rebellion in the coastal areas, and when the Ming Dynasty was just founded, the people's livelihood withered and was in ruins.

Zhu Yuanzhang not only relocated the people in the coastal areas, but also specially formulated a maritime ban policy with no going to the sea as the core.

Although this policy played a great role in restoring people's livelihood and cracking down on the rebellion of Zhang Shicheng and other old ministries in the coastal areas in the early Ming Dynasty, in the long run, it closed the possibility of the Ming Dynasty's outward development.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang's maritime ban policy, after the evolution of time, only forbade the imperial court to go to the sea, but did not prohibit coastal maritime merchants, wealthy merchants, and gentry from going to sea.

As a result, in the coastal areas, there are a large number of maritime merchants who are extremely wealthy.

In other words, the sea ban policy allowed the silver of overseas trade to go into private pockets, and the imperial court did not get half of the profits.

Originally, in Lan Bin's plan, he was going to wait for himself to have a say in the court and have a certain status, and he was trying to find a way to start from the sea ban policy. Guide the Ming Dynasty to enter the Age of Exploration in advance.

But this time Zhu Xiongying asked him for the idea of a birthday gift, and when he thought of the globe, he suddenly felt that through Zhu Xiongying's hand, on Zhu Yuanzhang's Halloween, the globe was offered.

can not only fulfill Zhu Xiongying's filial piety, but also allow Zhu Yuanzhang and others to see the outside world and come up with other ideas.

If Zhu Yuanzhang can see overseas profits, it will be even more perfect.

Of course, Lan Bin's idea is good, but whether he can make the globe before the Halloween, he still has no bottom in his heart. You also need to ask a professional carpenter to know the result.

After Lan Bin sketched out the globe, he asked all the carpenters in the house to gather in the small courtyard of his laboratory on Thursday.

Then he took the globe pattern paper that he sketched and seduced, came to the small courtyard of the laboratory, and after meeting the carpenters, he said, "I have gathered everyone together, there is a piece of wood that needs your help to make it!"

"Young Master, what do you want us to do, just give us orders!" The carpenters gossiped.

Lan Bin smiled, spread out the paper of the sketch globe, pointed it vertically at the carpenters, and asked, "Let's take a look, when will this thing be made?" Look at the book

The carpenters glanced at each other, and stepped forward to gather in front of Lan Bin, probing their brains to look at Lan Bin's sketch globe, and discussing with each other.

After a moment, a middle-aged carpenter said weakly, "Young Master, what did you use to draw this picture?!"

After being reminded by this person, the other carpenters suddenly woke up, only to find that the globe sketched by Lan Bin looked extremely realistic. Even if you don't know what is drawn on the drawing and what it is for, through the patterns on the drawing, it is easy to understand what Lan Bin wants.

Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I didn't let you see the picture, I asked you to see the items on the picture, can you make it?" How long will it take?"

"Young master, this can be made, as long as there are materials, it can be made in three or four days." The middle-aged carpenter was busy.

Three or four days?

So the globe can not only be made before Halloween, but also have plenty of time?

Lan Bin was overjoyed, but didn't show it, and looked at the other carpenters and asked, "What about you!"

"Wang Siwu is right, three or four days is enough!" The other carpenters chimed in.

Lan Bin saw that the carpenters were saying this, and finally couldn't help it, and said with joy: "Okay, then you go and prepare the materials immediately, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me!"

"In addition, if you can make the things on the map in advance, you will be rewarded with one tael of silver each!"

"Thank you, Young Master!" The carpenters were overjoyed.

Although their life in the Blue Mansion was much better than that of the carpenters outside, no one would be disgusted with less silver, especially since they had to support their families.

One tael of silver, for them, is equivalent to half a month's worth of silver.

"Let's get ready!"

After Lan Bin handed over the sketched globe drawings to the carpenters, he asked them to prepare the materials and make the globe.

And he himself continued to revise the articles he had written.
