However, if you stand on a higher point of view, it is definitely a good thing that there is a country in the Americas with the same system as the Ming Dynasty and all Han people.

But that goal is too far away, and the climate of North America is really not something that can survive stably in feudal society.

The cold snap every winter can definitely freeze people to death, and only the power of industrial machinery can slowly transform that land.

As for the current Ming Dynasty, it is already a great achievement to be able to occupy Southeast Asia and expand to India in South Asia at most.

He Qiu hasn't told anyone about these plans yet, after all, it's too long-term, so long-term that people can't believe it.

He Qiu shifted his focus to writing books again, in addition to "The Wealth of Nations", He Qiu made persistent efforts and wrote "Theory of Sea Power", "Anatomy" and other works.

Not all of these works have caused great repercussions in the world, but they have broadened the horizons of many people.

It turned out that there were many books on the market in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, poems and songs, but now, earlier because of He Qiu's "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Golden Vase Plum" and other works, a trend of creating novels has been triggered.

Now that He Qiu has used these three books to baptize his spirit, the book market of Daming has become extremely chaotic.

The threshold for publishing books is also getting lower and lower, and even some people saw that He Qiu wrote such an obscure and esoteric book, which could be sought after in the world, so they collected a lot of recipes and came up with a cooking guide, which was also sold well in the market.

This incident can be regarded as completely igniting the already undercurrent of the book market, and the confinement of the original science can no longer stop the development of the publishing industry.

All kinds of knowledge have appeared in the book market of the Ming Dynasty.

The Four Books and Five Classics are not unusual, and the works of the hundreds of schools of thought have been taken out and reprinted by booksellers, and the slogan is that "The Wealth of Nations" is from Xunzi's "Wealth of the Nation" chapter.

used such a confusing method to seduce the scholars' interest in buying books.

There are recipes, agricultural books, handicraft tips, etc., not to mention He Qiu, who is there to help the trouble, and from time to time throws a new knowledge on the market.

Although he only left a few words, his disciples were not covered, and they took out the teaching materials that He Qiu taught them at the beginning to develop their own new knowledge.

And because they all learned from He Qiu, they also used some vernacular, which was more liked by the people, and they were sold more widely.

In this way, it can be regarded as forcing some people to devote themselves to the creation of vernacular literature.

Maybe the people of the Ming Dynasty who are in it are not deeply touched, they are the waves in the tide of the times.

But He Qiu, a person who has stayed in the lower reaches of history, can't see that this is the time for the Central Plains version of the "Renaissance".

With this in mind, He Qiu is even more looking forward to the future of this new Daming.

……

The first year of Yongle is about to pass, and it is also in this year that Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes with a smile.

Zhu Di was greatly grieved and personally helped the coffin to send Zhu Yuanzhang to the filial piety mausoleum, where Queen Ma had been waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang for almost ten years.

And He Qiu took some people to Luoyang, Luoyang City was already about to be delivered, on the whole, this Luoyang City was much more generous than the previous Jinling.

A lot of new technologies have been used in the whole Luoyang City, including cement, steel bars and so on.

At least the ministers who received the project were dumbfounded, obviously there were some things in it that were beyond their imagination, not to mention that such a majestic city did not cost much.

As for the current He Qiu, he took Zhu Gaochi to the original Luoyang West Garden.

With the Imperial City, how can there be no royal gardens?

Jinling is not good at this, there is almost no place for the royal family to relax, but Luoyang is different.

You must know that Luoyang was the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Luoyang Xiyuan was an extremely vast area.

Thinking of the original Luoyang West Garden, north of the mountain, south to Yishui, the mighty more than 200 miles, although today's West Garden has long been because of the war, disappeared.

Although Xiyuan has gradually declined since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, when He Qiu took Zhu Gaochi to see it, there were still some dazzling scenery, which made people sigh at the beauty of nature.

During the Song Dynasty, although Luoyang was no longer the national capital, Xiyuan had also been investing money in maintenance and repair, and it was well maintained.

In the Yuan Dynasty, those Yuan Dynasty nobles regarded Luoyang Xiyuan as a pasture and hunting ground, and it was strictly forbidden for ordinary people to cultivate in it.

When it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, although he had been encouraging the people to open up the wasteland, there was no shortage of ripe land in Henan, and few people went to the land of Xiyuan to open up the wasteland, after all, the land here was raw land, and it took too much effort to reclaim it.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Luoyang Xiyuan has not completely disappeared from history, and some parts are still well preserved.

He Qiu led Zhu Gaochi and rode on horseback on this land, followed by a hundred vigilant forbidden soldiers.

At this time, the winter has not yet been completely over, and the entire West Garden is covered with heavy snow and sparsely populated, and the already quiet West Garden is even more secluded.

Such a scene is in stark contrast to Luoyang City, which is constantly moving people to the city.

Zhu Gaochi looked at such a beautiful Xiyuan, and couldn't help but say to He Qiu.

"Brother-in-law, do you think this West Garden can be restored? Lone always feels that without the beautiful scenery of this West Garden, Luoyang will lose a lot of color. ”

He Qiu looked at the nearby Xiyuan, where artificial and natural scenery were mixed, and his expression was happy, which was much stronger than any garden in later generations.

Even Beiping, the imperial capital of three generations, can't compare to the slightest in Xiyuan, after all, the land in Beiping has no mountains and rivers, let alone such beautiful scenery.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's question, He Qiu smiled and said.

"This matter is very simple, the minister has such a mind when he came this time."

Zhu Gaochi asked with some unease.

"Really? Is Xiyuan so easy to recover? ”

He Qiu smiled dumbly.

"This West Garden can be described as unique, the scenery is very good, now although hundreds of years have passed, but the foundation is still there, just the Sixteen Gardens Palace and Garden Towers above, the manpower and material resources required to restore are not too much, and it may not be as expensive as rebuilding Luoyang City."

He Qiu didn't tell a lie, the reason why he couldn't wait to go to Luoyang this time, in addition to the acceptance project, was also because he learned the good news that Luoyang Xiyuan was generally intact.

With such a foundation, He Qiu is very confident that he can restore Xiyuan to its original state in the second year of Yongle.

To put it bluntly, it was because Emperor Yang of Sui was too loser.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty used a lot of manpower and material resources to build the West Garden, and spent a total of 30 million yuan!

Thirty million yuan, for the Ming Dynasty, whose population and wealth were above the Sui Dynasty, this is not a small amount of money.

This 30 million yuan is enough for the Ming Dynasty to start two water conservancy projects to control the Huai River.

Moreover, the original Sui Dynasty did not have a large population of the Ming Dynasty, let alone an expert in making money like He Qiu, which was definitely a consumption that was enough to shake the country.
