Ah Wei can jump around, but he can still ensure the strength of his headquarters, and he is by no means stupid.

Although the Dzungar tribe suffered heavy losses, the nomadic tribes to the north were also having a hard time, and he was able to absorb these scattered tribes and merge them into the Dzungar tribe, and the Dzungar Khanate was established.

Ah Shi stopped taking revenge on the Ming Dynasty and subdued the herdsmen to the north to strengthen himself.

The pressure on the northern front plummeted, and Wang Yue also focused on the Western Regions.

The man on the Western Front was also unwilling to fight with Fan Guang, but moved further westward to become the son-in-law of the Kazakh Ministry, and annexed the Kazakh Ministry.

Sayid took all the things from the cities near Kashgar, crossed the Pamirs, and went to rich Central Asia, with the main purpose of occupying the Ferghana Basin.

Before leaving, Sayide swept the cities along the desert, damaged the asphalt roads, and then burned the rich city of Kashgar, and then burned all the cities along the way before moving away.

Yang Xin took over a super mess.

But isn't that what Da Ming wants?

The prosperous Western Regions, is it really a good Western Regions?

A large number of large quantities of materials, under the auspices of the government, flowed to the Western Regions, and the Western Regions had to enter a period of heavy construction.

The central center transferred Liu Ji, Liu Jue, and Yin Zhi to jointly take charge of the Western Regions and be responsible for construction.

Fan Guang was stationed in Zhambyl, the road to the west was not closed, and the Ming still had the strength to go west, and even wanted to enter the Ferghana Basin to get a piece of the pie.

He wrote a letter to Yang Xin to the effect that he would take the fortress pass and march westward into the Ferghana Basin at any time.

The most elite place in Central Asia is the Fergana Basin, including the entire Western Regions and the Uszchen Essence Zone, which is the Ferghana Basin.

It is bigger and richer than the Sichuan Basin, and by mastering this basin, the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty can be completely sealed, and it is also the most useful place.

Fan Guang wanted to take this basin to get the Guogong World Certificate.

But the difficulty is huge, although the Timurid Empire is weak, there are still generals who can fight well, and there is a Sayid, Fan Guang and Man Suer are at war, and they know that Man Suer is powerful, and in the hands of Sayid, even Yang Xin suffers a small loss.

Besides, this incomparably rich basin is a battleground for soldiers, everyone wants to get it, how can you get it?

You have to run the Western Regions first, and only when you have a smooth road can you move westward.

During this period, Fan Guang did not intend to let Sayid easily capture the Ferghana Basin, and Daming also intervened, and the more chaotic the fight, the better.

Yang Xin also thought so, he wanted to use this merit to be crowned the prince of the country.

War raged in the west.

The interior was extremely peaceful, the center was methodically conscripted, the northerners moved to the northeast, and the southerners moved to the new seven provinces.

It is difficult to feed more than 10 million people in the Western Regions, and it is impossible to immigrate for the time being.

When Yu Qian returned, he visited Gansu and returned to Beijing on a boat in Ganzhou, which was once desolate and now very lively.

Gansu grows wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and medicinal herbs, and is a poor province that supports a population of 7 million.

The streets and alleys were filled with children's laughter.

They are all newborns, and they have eaten enough in the past few years, and the center has been encouraging childbirth, and this year the center has ordered that young couples have 20 children tax-free.

The population will also skyrocket, and Gansu has a vast territory, from Qinghai Lake in the west to Turpan in the north, which is the whole of Gansu.

In many cities in Gansu, a class of citizens was born, not by farming, but by doing business and working in factories.

Although it is common in the south, it is rare in the northwest, where the richest provinces are Shaanxi and Shanxi, and Gansu is considered poor.

After Yu Qian inquired, he learned that they had rented out the land and worked in the city by themselves.

As far as he knew, there were no big enterprises in Gansu, and the largest was the Ordnance Factory, which was built by Jingtai in 20 years to attack the Western Regions.

There are small factories, but they can't accommodate so many urban people, right?

He sent students out to visit and learned that Gansu has the largest woolen mill in the country, and Gansu people invented a mechanical woolen spinning machine, with the advantage of raw material distance, to make sweaters that supply 40% of the country.

Yu Qian rarely participated in court politics in recent years, and now he knows that he underestimated the wisdom of the Gansu people.

After returning to Beijing, he reported the situation to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback: "I don't know, according to you, Gansu is getting rich?" ”

"Life is a lot better, Lao Chen still remembers the first time I went to Gansu, the place was poor, and my clothes were torn, and I couldn't see it."

Yu Qian sighed: "After more than 20 years, the people of Gansu have finally lived a good life. ”

"The materials for the construction of the Western Regions in the central hub have to be transferred through Gansu, which fattens Gansu, and the local citizens are all going to take over these jobs."

"A few years after the construction of the Western Regions, Gansu will prosper for a few years."

After a few years of prosperity, the factory will stay in Gansu, laying an industrial foundation for Gansu, and Gansu's future is unlimited.

talked about the life of Gansu people.

Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face: "If the people are doing well, they will not rebel, haven't you seen that in the past few years, there have been fewer rebels in various parts of the world?" ”

"I can't just let the court be rich, the powerful and the powerful rich, but also let the people follow the rich, hide the wealth from the people, and hide the wealth from the world, which is what I want to do."

"King of the county, I plan to further untie the Ming Dynasty, encourage the development of handicrafts and small traders, and further tax exemption, these are the things that really benefit the people of Li."

Yu Qian shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's good now, the center is only responsible for correcting the general direction, and it's good not to meddle in the place casually." ”

"What the people are afraid of is not that they are going the wrong way, but that they are afraid of the blind command of the government."

"Central decision-making is good, but what are the qualities of local executors? Will they be able to implement good policies? ”

"The old minister can't see it."

"This winter, some people dare to stretch out their hands to supply the grain in the Western Regions, and I will look at this rule and rectify it."

Yu Qian was really angry.

After the beginning of spring, the grain transported to the Western Regions, and the rice with insects, showed that someone had done something.

This is life-saving food, and it is the food that supports the war on the front line.

Zhu Qiyu's face became gloomy: "I have said it 10,000 times, are the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department all eating?" ”

"Let Li Shi and Qian Pu get over!"

Yu Qian was still adding to the fire: "The Military Discipline Department is not bad, and the military rations in the Western Regions are not right, if it weren't for the old minister to see it, maybe he would be fooled by someone!" ”

Zhu Qiyu's face was fierce: "I haven't killed people for a few years, have you forgotten what kind of emperor I am?" ”

Soon, the gray-haired Li Shi and Qian Pu came in.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not worried, his heart chuckled, and he knelt on the ground: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Qiyu was silent.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "You still have me in your eyes?" ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Li Shi didn't understand, where did the emperor's evil fire come from?

Immediately saw Yu Qian sitting upright, and immediately understood that it was a problem with grain transfer.

"Your Majesty, it's really no wonder that the Imperial Procuratorate is here for this matter, there was a report from the Imperial History last year, when the Central Committee suppressed the Imperial History's advice in order to speed up the support for the Western Regions." Li Shi said that he was very innocent.

Qian Pu also immediately said: "The Supervision Department also has a report. ”

"Is that my fault?" Zhu Qiyu glanced at the door again: "Where is Chen Wen?" ”

Feng Xiao rolled his eyes, you didn't say Xuan Chenwen.

Send someone to announce it immediately.

Chen Wen came in and saw Li Shi and Qian Pu kneeling, and wondered in his heart.

"You're doing a very comfortable job as a celestial official, aren't you?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Wen knew that it was Chen Mi's problem with the transfer, and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, after the king of Xingjun was sparse, the officials sent people from the Qing Officials Division to investigate, and the people involved have been arrested." ”

"Peel!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly burst into tears: "The whole family peels!" ”

"Do you dare to delay the affairs of the front line? The Nine Clans deserve to die! ”

"How did Jingcha find out?"

"Isn't this court full of black sheep?"

"Who was in charge of the West Beijing Inspectorate last year? All dismissals! Those in charge of Gansu Jingcha will all be executed! ”

"The officials in charge of Jingcha in the center are all hung up and whipped ten lashes!"

"If you don't be a good official, get out of here! Don't occupy the magpie's nest and don't do anything in front of the official! If you want to make money and go into business, don't come to be an official! If you want to be lazy, you will die, Daming does not raise idlers! Don't raise waste! ”

"Restart Jingcha immediately and check again!"

"This year's Jingcha Zhen came to personally stare at it, and all the suspects, from a lowest-ranking local official to a central cabinet minister, found out that one was one!"

"Set the task! If you can't find out, the censoring officials will be arrested and whipped to death! ”

Zhu Qiyu was angry: "I want to see how many black sheep are there among the officials?" ”

Chen Wen trembled, he hadn't seen the emperor so angry in ten years.

The emperor who ruled the fear of the court is back.

"The old minister obeys." Chen Wen shuddered.

"Also, incompetent officials, who have mediocre performance in the evaluation for three consecutive years, will all be arrested and whipped to death!"

"The center doesn't raise idlers! Don't raise waste! ”

"When you are an official, you have the appearance of being an official, take out your real skills, work for Daming, if you don't have real skills, hurry up and get out, don't occupy the pit and don't shit."

"All provinces in the world, immediately investigate!"

"Check yourself first, and then check again at the center! Those who engage in fraud for personal gain are guilty of the same crime! Whoever it is, kill them all! ”

Zhu Qiyu's face was fierce: "Order the factory guard to send a fan to investigate, an official and an official to investigate!" ”

Yu Qian felt that the emperor had gone too far, and if he checked it like this, it was estimated that the group would be wiped out.

He left the stool at some point and fell to his knees.

"King Xingjun get up."

Zhu Qiyu put away the fire: "Get out and kneel, don't be in the way of me, you can't bear this burden, just hurry up!" If you can afford it, do it well! ”

Chen Wen wiped the sweat on the tip of his forehead and confirmed that the emperor was still the emperor.

As soon as I went out, the emperor's roar was heard: "Let the military officials and the head of the Beizhen Fu Division come over!" ”

"I'm kind to them, are they sick cats?"

Zhu Qiyu was very angry: "Use Chen rice to fool the front-line soldiers, they have a bad stomach, who will open up the territory?" What are the moths? ”

"Check it again! Where did that aged rice come from? ”

"All the people involved, all the Nine Clans! Peel! ”

"Qian Pu, get in!"

Qian Pu shuddered, immediately came in, and knelt in the main hall: "Your Majesty, Weichen is here." ”

"From now on, the Supervision Department will check the number of military rations in the world, as well as the ordnance factory, I want to see what moths dare to touch me!"

"Catch one and peel the other, hang it on the ground, and never take it off!"

Without moths, that's dreaming.

The main thing is the ordnance factory, if you check, it is estimated that more than a dozen ordnance factories in the world can be shut down.

It can pull out tens of thousands of rats.

Qian Pu knew that this was a good opportunity for civilian officials to intervene in the military.

This is also the reason why the emperor asked the civil officials to check the generals, they will bite the generals to death, if they don't bite, the emperor will change a batch of dogs.

"Wechen obeys." Qian Pu naturally agreed.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne angrily: "If I don't do it again, do I think I'm crippled?" Hmph, I want to see who is the rat! ”

Yu Qian thought of another layer, there was no money inside.

The money from the internal treasury has been supplied to the people for ten years, and it is estimated that a gold mountain has been spent, and the money has been made to the dead over the years.

Those big battles seem to be easy to fight, but in fact, the center has enough money and food.

It is estimated that the emperor has been delayed in accepting Duo Si Du Si because there is no money, the place is too poor, and it is estimated that hundreds of millions of dollars will have to be thrown in.

"Your Majesty is angry." Yu Qian found a staircase for the emperor to go down.

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and calmed down: "I didn't want to be so idle, but the place really didn't let me worry. ”

"Bring me the map."

Feng Xiao knows the emperor too well, and the emperor is short of money, so he wants to kill a batch of rats, and there is indeed not much money in the house.

The current source of domestic money is mainly from the gold mines of Borneo and Luzon, with 20% of the mining going into the domestic capital, 50% of the household money, and the rest from the money earned by the mining companies.

And the emperor spends money and spends lavishly.

The royal trading houses also had money, but the emperor would use the money to invest and encourage the people to make inventions, so the emperor really didn't have much money.

The treasury and the banks had money, but this money was not moved by the emperor's words.

Many projects, the court officials are reluctant to vote, the emperor insists on going his own way, he has to pay from the internal money, why the emperor has been tough these years, is that there is a lot of money in the internal money.

Now that it's less, we have to find a way to open it up.

"The king of the county, the Muscovy sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, do you know about this?" Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the huge map and pointed his sword at the place of Muscovy.

Muscovy was now in the period of development, and Ivan III was in the process of unifying the Rus' region after marrying Sophia Palaiorog, niece of the last Byzantine emperor.

"The old minister knows that the mission was welcomed in by Fan Guang." Yu Qian said.

"The king of his country, Ivan, wrote to me, inviting the Ming to divide the inheritance of the Golden Horde." Zhu Qiyu asked people to bring up the secret letter and let Yu Qian read it.

After reading it, Yu Qian frowned: "This Moscow principality is so ambitious?" ”

"The place where Fan Guang is the Kazakh Khanate under the Golden Horde."

"But Kazakhstan is too weak, bullied by Fan Guang, and now it is bullied by Full Speed, and the Dzungar Ministry also wants a piece of the pie."

"It can be said that the Golden Horde has declined to the extreme."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "If you talk about strength or weakness, it must be that the newly rising Muscovy is stronger, and the declining Golden Horde is the weakest. ”

"I want to trade with the Golden Horde, sell them all the firearms in stockpile, and let them go dog-eat-dog with the Kievan Rus' nations."

"If Muscovy invites the Ming again, the Ming will sell them firearms at a high price and let them fight."

"But in doing so, Daming needs to have a strong army, stationed here, and whoever is disobedient will be beaten."

Yu Qian stroked his white beard, smacked the emperor's words, and said slowly: "Do they have anything that Da Ming can look up to?" ”

"Money." Zhu Qiyu said.

"It's not worth it if it's just for the money."

Yu Qian shook his head: "If the old minister is in charge of the Muscovy, he will not bite the Golden Horde." ”

"You look at the map, the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, the Moscow Principality to the north, until the end, so that there is a sky and then a back, you can concentrate your forces to the west or east."

"The old minister guesses that this King Ivan should be testing the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, not really wanting to divide the Golden Horde."

"Moreover, with their small country, why should they carve up the huge Golden Horde!"

The Golden Horde, but the largest of the four Mongolian khanates, although it was called the Golden Horde, was actually split into four great khanates and countless small khanates.

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What do you mean, this is a temptation?" ”

"It's a temptation, this King Ivan is not simple, I'm afraid that Muscovy is about to rise." Yu Qian looks at people very accurately.

"The current Ming Dynasty, the Golden Horde can't eat it."

Zhu Qiyu said truthfully: "But this piece of fat, I don't eat it, my heart is itchy, and I can't sleep." ”

"Then let them mess up to death, mess up to a pot of porridge, and then I will directly take it into my pocket in a few years."

Yu Qian was speechless, the emperor was too greedy for land.

The temptation asked, "Do you want to become a hinterland, or do you want to go out separately?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhu Qiyu avoided talking about it.

Do you just want to become a mainland?

The territory is too vast, tens of thousands of miles from east to west, tens of thousands of miles from north to south, how to manage it? After all, it has to be sealed out.

"Your Majesty, why do you value this King of Moscow?" Yu Qian asked.

Over the years, there have been many countries that have come to the Ming Dynasty to send envoys, but very few can be particularly valued by the emperor, and even the Emperor of France has been laughed at by the emperor as a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Moscow is too close to Daming, so I attach great importance to it." This explanation is far-fetched.

Because this is the terrifying Soviet Russia, it's strange if you're not afraid.

Yu Qian smiled and said, "The old minister can make this principality disappear." ”

"Tell me." Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up.

"As you said, trade with the Golden Horde, sign a peace treaty with them, demarcate the land, set the national border, ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not go west, and then trade with them."

"And the only demand is to destroy this Muscovy, and to ask for the head of King Ivan before a peace treaty can be signed."

"On the other hand, let's send envoys to Kievan Rus' to show that we are willing to trade with them, but we need the two countries to border, let them fight to the east, and the Ming to fight to the west."

"If King Ivan is not deceived, he will decree by the Son of Heaven to destroy the kingdom; If King Ivan is willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty, let them eat dog with the Golden Horde. ”

Yu Qian is really bad.

It's useless to sign the contract, and when the Ming Dynasty wants to go west, nothing can stop it.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Zhu Qiyu thinks it's good, Da Ming is the overlord of the world, and if he wants to kill a small country, isn't it just a matter of raising his fingers.

But Kievan Rus' has more than one principality, there are many principalities, and after the destruction of Muscovy, there will be new principalities that will become the hegemon and unify Rus'.

It doesn't matter, what matters is that whoever the emperor wants to die, he has to die.

"Let Siyi Pavilion write back to Ivan and ask him to offer 10,000 beauties."

The emperor was extremely attentive to the introduction of women.

And in India.

Chen Jiayou, who has been in India for 12 years, finally decided to return to China after traveling all over India.

What they want to bring back to the country, there are 175 ships in total, and what has already been transported back to the country, up to 3000 ships.

It consists mainly of books, seeds, breeding animals, medicinal herbs, and Buddhist items, as well as a small amount of gold, as well as gifts from the leaders of various countries and natives.

Following Chen Jiayou back to China, there are many Indian monks, who are willing to go to the Ming Dynasty to debate the scriptures and worship the Buddha.

Chen Jiayou carried with him all precious books and many cultural relics, which were mixed with food and boarded on the ship.

Liang Xuan personally led the sailors and drove 19 treasure ships to pick up.

When Chen Jiayou boarded the treasure ship, he was extremely embarrassed in his heart, when he visited India, the Ming Dynasty was annexing Annam, and now, the Ming Dynasty is already the overlord of the Indian Ocean.

To and from the ship, you have to get the consent of the Ming Dynasty.

The Indian Ocean is not called the Indian Ocean, but the Tang Ocean.

Liang Xuan knew that the emperor attached great importance to Chen Jiayou's return to the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Jiayou brought back countless Indian treasures in India over the years.

The last ship is a cultural relic that can be called a national treasure, and it must be transported by treasure ship, and when necessary, it must be landed at any time to attack the Luodi Dynasty and bring back the envoys.

Over the years, Chen Jiayou's team has reached 17,000 people, including 7,000 Han soldiers, 2,000 Indian soldiers, and 8,000 scholars.

These Indians are all leaders in all walks of life, and Chen Jiayou attracted them to Daming, hoping that they would work for Daming.

The mission not only buys books and cultural relics from the people, but also robs tombs.

Of course, Chen Jiayou has never robbed a tomb, and the mission has never robbed it, but they will take what they take out and collect it at a high price.

In 12 years, Chen Jiayou has turned over the whole of India.

King Luo Di also felt that Da Ming had gone too far.

But Chen Jiayou taught him a lesson, and many small countries were also beaten by Chen Jiayou, and the news reached the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also sent people to sink the ships that sailed from India and trapped India on the mainland.

Although it is engaged in diplomacy, it is more about war.

Daming Energy continues to buy grain from India, and then dump commodities, this process is by no means negotiated, but fought.

The Ming people who died in India, there are more than 7,000 people, and the sailors have been sending people up in a steady stream over the years, and the Ming Dynasty can't eat the territory of India, but all the countries of India have been beaten by the Ming Dynasty.

So Chen Jiayou can do whatever he wants in India.

Indian books were swept away by Chen Jiayou, and people with outstanding abilities were recruited to go to the Ming Dynasty, especially Indian medicine, and many were recruited.

The treasure ship was sailing on the vast sea, Chen Jiayou looked at the magnificent scenery, and a heroic spirit rose in his chest: "This vast ocean is the territory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Hahaha, Daming's ocean, it's more than that!"

Liang Hao is very proud: "The Tang Ocean of the Ming Dynasty, from Madagascar in Africa in the west to the southeast of Yi in the east, is within the scope of the Tang Ocean. ”

"And to the east of the Wa Kingdom, the infinite ocean, that is the Ming Ocean, where the ships will never end, all of them are the maritime territory of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Ambassador Chen, please take a look."

"The past ships must hang the Ming dragon flag and pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and any ships that do not pay or pay less taxes will have the right to sink them!"

Liang Xuan's expression was heroic: "Your Majesty's words can cause a big tsunami in the main ocean, and you can sink the ships of all countries." ”

"What is the coming of all nations in the past!"

"Now, all nations will surrender to the feet of my Great Ming!"

Chen Jiayou twitched the corners of his mouth, I heard your name in India, you Liang Xuan is a robber in the ocean, you rob everything, and you don't make any sense.

Isn't it the whole ocean listening to you?

The ships of all nations have been sunk, and the strangest thing I have ever heard is that there was a ship, and when it passed by, you were urinating, and you scared the urine back, and you sent troops against the ships, and after plundering the goods, you killed all the people on board.

It is said that you are the devil of the sea.

Liang Xuan likes this title very much, I will call it Devil Hou, hahaha.

After passing through Malacca, you will enter the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty, and the east of Malacca is all the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty.

Passing through Borneo and entering the Yanhai (South China Sea), because many Indian scholars have never been on a boat, seasickness is really bad, so they can only get off the boat in Guangzhou and take a river boat back to Beijing.

The mission was divided into two groups, one group took a sea ship to Tianjin, and returned to Beijing from Tianjin with the treasures on board.

Chen Jiayou had to take the Indian scholars and disembark from Guangzhou, and they changed boats and took small boats across the Lingding Ocean.

In Lingdingyang, I experienced the prosperity of Hong Kong and Macao, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Dongguan, and anchored all the way in Guangzhou, and everyone got off the ship.

By this time it was already dark, and there were officials waiting at the pier for the mission to disembark.

"Oh my God, this is Da Ming?"

When the Indian scholars disembarked, they were greeted by a huge lighthouse, which was 150 meters high, and on top of it was a huge ignition platform, which stored a huge amount of kerosene, burning day and night, and this lighthouse could be seen from thousands of miles away.

The lighthouse is made of green bricks and concrete, and there is a temple of Mazu Niangniang on it, as well as a temple of Wen Tianxiang, and incense is constantly burning.

This lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in the Ming Dynasty.

The lighthouse plays an important guiding role in the navigation of the ship.

After the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty, lighthouses were built in all coastal cities and Daming islands and reefs to guide the ships to return to the sea.

According to the data of Jingtai at the end of 22 years of the Ministry of Industry, there are a total of 2,731 lighthouses in Daming, the highest of which is 150 meters and the shortest is 30 meters, which are scattered on Daming Island and reef.

It is estimated that in the 40th year of Jingtai, all the islands and reefs of Daming can be built into a lighthouse.

Chen Jiayou looked at the lighthouse and was stunned for a moment, and then said with pride on his face: "This is Da Ming!" The most powerful Ming in the world! Welcome to Daming! ”

The post officer in charge of the reception had already prepared the carriage.

"Why is it all fire in front of you? Is it on fire? An Indian scholar looked at the county town of Panyu not far away and was very surprised.

"Sir, that's not fire, it's a street lamp in our city."

"Do you speak Indian?" The Indian scholar was amazed that he didn't speak Chinese.

"Of course, many of our officials are proficient in many Chinese, you see, there are also many street lights on the dock, you can see it by paying attention."

Only then did the Indian scholar notice that his feet were bright, and when he looked up, he saw that the entire pier was hung with street lamps, illuminating this place.

It's amazing, Da Ming is really rich, and candles can be used casually?

When the official saw Chen Jiayou coming over in an official robe, he immediately trotted over and knelt down to salute: "Xiaguan Panyu County Chengyu Jing, see Ambassador Chen." ”

"No courtesy." Chen Jiayou was wearing a new official robe, which was brought over by Liang Heng and given by the emperor himself.

"So Young Master Yu Gong (Yu Shan), who are you?"

Chen Jiayou felt that this person looked like Yu Shan.

"It's the ancestor." Yu Jing replied.

"Why isn't it someone from the post station who came to pick it up?" Chen Jiayou frowned.

"Back to my lordship, when the political envoy heard that there were many Indian scholars entering Beijing, and this was a grand event, he sent an official to greet him personally."

Chen Jiayou knew that he was not speculating, so let him arrange it.

"Lord Chen, do you know what the city that never sleeps is?" The Indian scholar didn't understand what that dancing flame was.

Chen Jiayou doesn't know, it stands to reason that the sky should be full of stars at night, how can there be any fire, how expensive the fire is, the scholars are reluctant to use it.

But this lighthouse burns day and night, so it costs a lot of candles.

When entering Beijing, you must invite Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, but it can't be so extravagant and wasteful.

"This gentleman, I can't explain it in a few words, but when you enter Panyu, you will know." Yu Jing is used to seeing foreigners shocked, which is not unusual.

They all disembarked and got into the carriage.

"Why doesn't this carriage sway at all?" Don't say that Indian scholars are confused, he Chen Jiayou is also confused.

"Ambassador Chen, what we are doing is an asphalt road, and if it weren't for the light you borrowed to return to Beijing, the lower officials would not be able to walk on this asphalt road."

Yu Jing joked and told the reason for the asphalt road.

"I haven't returned to China for twelve years, and Daming has changed so quickly?" Chen Jiayou found that the carriage was also an iron carriage, with a glass window, and there were all kinds of tea sets inside, as well as a gong bucket.

"Can I sit in this carriage?" Chen Jiayou was worried about violating the system, he didn't want to travel for 12 years to return to China, and if he violated the system, he would be beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell.

"My lord, this carriage is not against the rules, and His Majesty's royal car is ten thousand times more luxurious than this."

Yu Jing said with a smile: "This carriage is very simple, even inferior to ordinary rich families." ”

"Really?" Chen Jiayou was confused.

"Naturally, because there are too many people coming, the carriage transferred by the lower officials from other counties can be said to be inadequate."

Isn't that a good reception?

"How expensive is glass? How do you use it for a carriage? Chen Jiayou didn't dare to touch it, worried that his hands would be dirty and he couldn't afford to pay for it.

"My lord, you have been away from Daming for too long, and Daming is very different now than before."

Yu Jing didn't dare to laugh at this.

There are a lot of good things that this person got back from India, and I am afraid that he can rely on this miraculous achievement to directly enter the cabinet as an important minister.

"Tell me, what's different about Da Ming?" Chen Jiayou was curious.

"My lord, the lower official can't say it, you better take your time, if the lower official says it, he won't be able to finish it in a month." Yu Jing seems to be saying, I want to see you laugh.

made Chen Jiayou laugh.

After Yu Jing joked, he began to talk about the changes in Daming, saying the same thing, Chen Jiayou's mouth never closed, is this my Daming?

When I got to the place where I was settled, it was a small three-story building.

This is a guest house belonging to the post house, also called a hotel, this hotel is privately owned, and the official placement here is to pay.

There is no need to entertain so many people in normal times, and there is no need to maintain such a large hotel fee, and a small guest house is enough to deal with it.

"Is this the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

The Indian scholars looked at the golden-decorated hotel, with sculptures and lights outside, and they were all dumbfounded.

There are still people who bow to Xiaolou and mumble to themselves, is this God's handiwork?

Yu Jing was a little speechless: "This is just a hotel in our county, you will stay here tonight, and you will leave for Guangzhou tomorrow." ”

"You didn't lie to me? This is not your capital? The scholar was entangled.

Chen Jiayou smiled and waved his hand: "Luo Shiyong, how can this be the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" This is just the county seat of Daming, like this county, there are tens of thousands of counties in Daming. ”

"Xiaguan to correct you, there are a total of 17,482 counties in Daming County." Yu Jing said with a smile.

Hiss!

All Indians were shocked, there are so many such counties in Daming, are they really fake?

More do not believe that such a city is not the capital of the Ming Dynasty?

Chen Jiayou smiled, and a sense of pride arose.

The next day, there were slaves who served them to wash, and the Indian scholars knew these slaves, all of whom were Indians, but they didn't understand the language.

True, there is no unified language in India.

"Ambassador Chen, do we want the capital of the Ming Dynasty?" Luo Shi never stopped asking.

"It's a long, far away place from Beijing, we have to go to Guangzhou first and do a good job of filing before we can enter Daming."

At noon, Luo Shiyong wanted to go to Panyu for a turn.

Indian scholars only knew about the Ming from the mouth of the mission, and this was the first time they had seen the Ming from the mouth of the mission.

"Xiaguan will arrange this." Yu Jingdao.

Yu Jing is Jingtai's twenty-year jinshi, and he has been promoted from a clerk to a county magistrate step by step, he didn't borrow his grandfather's power, he relied on himself step by step.

After yesterday's exchange, Chen Jiayou learned that Yu Jing's medical skills and calligraphy attainments are amazing.

After the two communicated, they found that Yu Jing was proficient in multinational medical skills, and Yu Jing's medical skills were learned in the Tai Hospital, when he was a guard in the palace, and he learned it at that time.

Yu Jing said that there were many officials in the Ming Dynasty who were proficient in medical skills.

Panyu is only a county seat, but it is extremely prosperous, and all kinds of commodities are dazzling, which makes these Indians look stupid.

There was only one thought in their hearts, this must be the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

After lunch, we set off for Guangzhou.

When I arrived in Guangzhou, it was not dark yet, and the first thing that caught my eye was a glazed pagoda, modeled after Nanjing Dabao'en Temple, a pagoda built in which many scriptures were hidden.

Indians look stupid, and many Buddhist monks bow down to the stupa and cry.

Chen Jiayou was also stunned, when he left Daming, there was no pagoda here!

"My lord, this pagoda was built by Jingtai in the nineteenth year, and it took three years to complete it, costing 3 million taels, mainly from donations from all walks of life."

"Donate?" Chen Jiayou didn't understand.

"Your Majesty strictly decrees that the court is not allowed to spend money on the construction of temples and other things, but donations from all walks of life are allowed, and the center encourages and supports this."

"So this tower is a donation? So rich? "Chen Jiayou didn't understand, spending so much money to build a tower will not be liquidated afterwards?

Yu Jing said with a smile: "What kind of money is this, even if it is an ordinary businessman in Guangzhou, not to mention that this is donated by many people, there are eunuchs in the palace, and there are officials in the court who have pooled their money." ”

Chen Jiayou wanted to ask, didn't the emperor think?

What kind of virtue does the emperor have, who doesn't know the old minister, he doesn't have wool?

When the asphalt road came to an end, Yu Jing personally went to settle the highway toll, and he was about to enter the city, and he couldn't use a horse-drawn carriage.

"This is the city of Guangzhou?" Chen Jiayou's mouth opened wide, when he left, it wasn't like this.

Guangzhou City is not small, but it is not so big!

There is no end in sight to this wall!

The Indians are stupid, they only have one thought left now, and that is that there are many people in the city!

There are many Indians, too, but there are many people who don't wear clothes, maybe it's hot.

And the Ming people, not to mention how gorgeous they are, at least they are neatly dressed, walk with their heads held high, and if they meet acquaintances, they will bow their hands and chat in a whisper.

The gates are huge.

Eight carriages can be allowed to pass at the same time.

Guangzhou is next to the land of Baiyue, there are building raw materials everywhere, it is easy to expand the city, and Guangzhou is located along the ocean, it must have a city wall.

There is an inscription at the gate of the city, and the city gate is also densely packed with words, on which the legal provisions of the Ming Dynasty are transcribed, and everyone is strictly ordered to abide by them.

The stone monument at the city gate is that after each law is implemented, a stone monument will be erected at the city gate for the people of the world to abide by.

Entering the city, the scenes inside and outside the city are completely different.

Inside the city, there are cries of selling everywhere, and along the city wall, there is a huge commercial street, blocked by a fence, and there are exits at both ends, and there are a variety of things sold in it, and there is everything.

There are also many women selling inside, and there is even a girl who took the initiative to come over to solicit customers, and said generously: "A few adults, my family has newly imported Indian black tea, do you want to come and taste it?" ”

Chen Jiayou looked at Yu Jing stupidly, how could this girl see people? Does she want to get married?

"We still have official business, so we won't go to taste black tea today, and we'll go another day." Yu Jing arched his hand.

The girl bowed lightly and went to invite the others.

An Indian saw the girl and secretly swallowed his saliva.

The girl suddenly looked over and said fiercely: "Look at my aunt again, pick out your dog's eyes!" ”

As soon as the girl shouted, there were officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city gate tower running down quickly: "Fourth Sister Chen, what's wrong?" ”

"He looks at me!" The girl Chen Simei said confidently.

Yu Jing immediately came over and explained: "This official is Panyu County Cheng, this person is an Indian, he just came to Daming, he doesn't understand the rules of Daming, these people are going to enter Beijing to meet His Majesty." ”

As soon as he heard that he was visiting the emperor, the officers and soldiers weakened.

Chen Simei didn't listen to those: "He can see Your Majesty, I can also see Your Majesty, or I won't do business, go to Beijing with you, go to meet Your Majesty, and see if Your Majesty is the master for me or for you!" ”

Yu Jing was speechless, asked the Indian to come over, knelt down and apologized to Chen Simei.

Indians are stunned, you women don't show up and don't let people see it? If we are in our part, it is not to see, but to ......

"Miss Chen, I blame me for this, I didn't let them read the legal provisions, and I brought them in, how can you raise your noble hand."

Yu Jing's posture was very low.

Chen Simei also accepted it when she saw it, and snorted: "If you dare to look blind in the future, you will pick out his eyeballs." ”

"If you don't do it, I'll do it." Yu Jing accompanied the smiling face.

Chen Jiayou was stunned.

Is this Daming?

Yu Jing is a jinshi, a county officer, how can he be so kind to a woman?

In the end, Yu Jing bought some black tea, and the matter was settled.

"My lord, you don't know, we are Ming, anyone can mess with you, but you can't mess with women!" Yu Jing was also very aggrieved, chatting with Chen Jiayou was so happy, he forgot important things, and he didn't expect Indians to be so rude.

Look at the Ming people, how can anyone stare at a woman.

Chen Jiayou's mission has not returned to China for 12 years, and when he saw that the girls were all bowing their heads, they didn't dare to look at other people's faces, which was a courtesy.

No one among the people stared at the girl's face, how rude.

On every gate of the Ming Dynasty, the legal provisions of the Ming Dynasty are written in detail, especially the laws that protect women, which are extremely harsh.

Two years ago, there were still people reading at the door, but now that everyone understands the Fa, they go to see it for themselves.

"Come out first, read the Ming legal provisions before entering the city." Yu Jing didn't want to play with the heartbeat, that Chen Simei really dared to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, and the emperor dared to kill them all!

Those Indians were even more confused, and their favorability towards Da Ming plummeted instantly.

Chen Jiayou read the law and opened his mouth wide: "Your Majesty is saying that men and women are equal?" ”

"So, that girl is doing business, we big men must not stare at her, this is a crime, she can look at us, we can't look at her."

Chen Jiayou does not refute this, Daming already has this etiquette, and even his daughter's adult father can't look at it like this.

"This woman protection law has been implemented for more than a year, and a lot of women have gone out recently, didn't they look at the officers and soldiers guarding the city, heard the woman's voice, and came down immediately? If this goes to the Black Ice Platform, it doesn't matter whether we are justified or not, we will be castrated directly. ”

The Indian was trembling, this Ming was too brutal.

Chen Jiayou's brain was buzzing.

"Have you read it all? We must do it in accordance with the requirements of the law, the Ming Dynasty is a country governed by law, and everything is based on the law. ”

After Yu was confirmed, he led the Indian delegation into the city.

There are many women walking back and forth on the streets, but no one deliberately looks at them, and even takes the initiative to make a space for them.

For the sake of his little baby, he is also crazy.

Fortunately, most of these people who come out to shop are married, and their husbands' families are also relatively enlightened.

"The law is not only at the gate of the city, the city of Guangzhou is too big, it is divided into different districts, and each district has an inscription area, and the law is still written there."

Chen Jiayou listened to Yu Jing's explanation, his eyes widened, is this still the Ming when I left Daming?

The city of Guangzhou is just too big.

Walking to the official residence, after walking for forty minutes, there was no shadow of the official residence.

"How many people are there in Guangzhou City?" Chen Jiayou asked.

"Jingtai has counted once in 20 years, when it was 4.7 million people, and now it is estimated that there are 6 million people."

Yu Jing smiled bitterly: "Guangzhou is not the most populous city in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What? So many people are not yet? When Chen Jiayou heard so many people, his first reaction was to rebel.

can look at the endless flow of people, the traffic, a peaceful and prosperous, how can there be half a rebellion.

The city of Guangzhou is visibly safe to the naked eye.

There is not a single city in the country where law and order is not good, and officials have immigration tasks, and they are eager to have petty theft.

Moreover, the court requisitioned half of the children, which is the age of war and brawl, and when they are gone, the law and order is better.

"Not to mention the whole country, the most populous in Guangdong is Hong Kong, not counting slaves, with a population of about 6.3 million, the second is Shenzhen, with a population of 6.2 million, and the third is Guangzhou."

Yu Jing said: "There is no way to count the floating population. ”

Chen Jiayou was dumbfounded: "Where is the most populous place in the country?" ”

"The first is Shanghai with a population of 8 million, the second is Nanjing with a population of 7.7 million, the third is Hangzhou with 7.5 million, the fourth is Suzhou with 7.2 million, the fifth is Changzhou with 7.1 million, and the sixth is Beijing with 7 million."

"So many people?" Chen Jiayou's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

Yu Jing smiled bitterly: "Now that the people are living a good life, they are not willing to work in the fields, they are willing to be city people." ”

"City people?" Chen Jiayou didn't have this concept.

"Yes, I just don't go back to the countryside to farm, I just eat in the city, buy food and vegetables."

"How is that possible? If there is no more food, will the land be barren? How can there be so much grain to sell to them? Is it all about imports from India? No, no, no, after I arrive in Beijing, I must report to Your Majesty! ”

Chen Jiayou thinks this is not a mess?

Gentlemen and gentry, there must be land, and then there are scholars, ploughing and reading heirlooms, ploughing in front of reading, how important is land, farming is a big thing, how can you not farm land?

"Don't get excited, sir." Yu Jing explained with a wry smile.

It's not that they don't farm, but that slaves farm and they enjoy in the city.

"Aren't they all powerful? Can Daming feed hundreds of millions of powerful people? ”

"I don't farm anymore, I have all gone to be powerful, so the world is not chaotic?"

"Don't those who farm the land rebel?"

Chen Jiayou reacted very much: "I must report this matter to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make a judgment." ”

Yu Jing twitched the corners of his mouth, this is what the emperor pushed.
