Many years later, when later generations were repairing history, they also made a strong note for Zhu Yunxi's speech in the Eighteen Squares of Jinling.

Modern scientific and technological civilization opened a new chapter on this day.

More than 100,000 craftsmen gathered in the eighteen squares of Jinling.

Among them, there are many talented people.

It's just that they haven't been given a stage to show and a space to perform.

The germ of countless ideas that could become major inventions was stifled at the very beginning.

And now, Zhu Yunxi has given them the soil for development and fertilized to grow.

As a result, countless scientific and technological inventions have been incubated.

The Eighteen Squares of Jinling also have a lot of names recorded in history and written into later textbooks.

Of course, all the names, all the records, all the legends, can't get around one person.

Zhu Yunxi.

At this time, he had left the Eighteen Fangs and took Ma He to another important place in Jinling - Longjiang Treasure Shipyard.

When Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops in the early days, he often relied on naval forces to fight.

It was the powerful naval army that laid the foundation for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Nanjing, the capital of Nanjing, is a very big reason, but also because it is close to the Yangtze River, which is convenient for water transportation and convenient transportation.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it attached great importance to the shipbuilding industry.

Throughout the country, shipyards were opened everywhere.

The Longjiang Bao Shipyard in Jinling is the largest shipyard in the Ming Dynasty.

With a well-established system, complete staffing and scientific management, it is also the largest and most advanced shipyard in the world in this era.

Leading the world for at least 100 years.

After Zhu Yunxi came here, the officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly came out to greet him.

Zhu Yunxi took Ma He to visit the largest shipyard in the world today.

Although he traveled from later generations and was accustomed to seeing large machinery and ships, he was still deeply shocked when he really saw the large treasure ships made by the Ming Dynasty up close.

It is forty or fifty zhang long, dozens of zhang wide, and at least seven or eight zhang high.

With the level of science and technology and productivity of this era, it is really unbelievable that such a huge treasure ship can be built.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry introduced the performance of the treasure ship and the various technologies of shipbuilding, and Zhu Yunxi nodded from time to time.

Ma He had been following him, and his eyes were wide at this time.

He had never seen such a large ship, and he was so attracted by it that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Zhu Yunxi noticed his excitement and abnormality, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

That's what he brought his horses and came here for.

It was only after the visit that Zhu Yunxi asked the officials to gather the craftsmen and express some of their opinions.

Improvement of shipbuilding technology, primarily sails.

He proposed a spinnaker and a diagonal truss sail, also a soft sail.

Although Daming's sail is also very good, when it is necessary to sail against the wind, the advantages of the spinnaker are reflected.

The jigsaw sail is simple and convenient to operate, and is suitable for changing wind direction and climate.

Of course, Zhu Yunxi also knows a little about this, but only a little bit about it.

After the idea was proposed, it was left to the craftsmen to think for themselves.

He didn't give any mandatory instructions on whether to use it or how to use it.

He is not very familiar with this aspect, and how to choose is still based on reality.

Nowadays, most of the sails used by the Ming Dynasty are hard sails.

There are pros and cons compared to having soft sails.

He's just coming up with a possible technical solution that might work, who knows?

Even so, it still shocked the officials and craftsmen present.

It is rumored that the emperor's grandson is a genius in the sky, and he is almost omniscient and omniscient.

When I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true.

They have built a ship all their lives, and they have not thought of it, His Royal Highness Taisun can come up with a new technical solution just by visiting it, and he has to be shocked by the gods.

Ma He next to him was also stunned.

Just now I have seen the gun design scheme and the invincible general cannon proposed by Zhu Yunxi, and now I have witnessed him improve the ship.

Ma and his people are about to go numb.

Is this a real genius?

Compared to a mortal like him, it was really a difference.

After doing all this, Zhu Yunxi took Ma He to the dock, where the new ship that had just been launched was parked.

He smiled and asked, "Sanbao, what do you think when you see these treasure ships?" ”

Ma He was stunned and sighed: "Driving such a treasure ship, sailing through the sea, conquering the ends of the world, exploring the infinite land, the husband is alive, it should be the same." ”

Zhu Yunxi laughed.

"Good! It's not in vain that I'm bringing you here today. ”

He smiled and said: "I have already started the emperor's grandfather, the Ming Dynasty will open a military academy to train new troops, including the navy that needs to sail to sea." ”

"Thousands of miles away, there is a new continent. There are hidden excellent seeds that can change the Ming Dynasty, endless wealth. ”

"If anyone can lead the fleet to get there, the Ming will start a new journey. The person who leads the team will also be famous in history. Although thousands of years later, it is still recited by future generations. ”

"It's just that the sea is dangerous, and once you go to sea, life and death are on the line. And far away from the family, can not be reunited, which is hard, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge. ”

"I see you as an extraordinary person, and I intend to entrust you with this important responsibility, are you willing?"

As soon as his words fell, Ma He pounced and knelt down.

"Ma Sanbao is just a eunuch, he has no family, so he doesn't need to worry about the pain of leaving home. Although his status is low, he also has great ambitions. If His Royal Highness Taisun does not give up, he is willing to lead the ship to sea, ride the wind and waves, and die without regret. ”

After speaking, he kowtowed heavily, and his expression was extremely serious.

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly.

The reason why he wants to use Ma He is that he is indeed a talent, and history has given the answer to this.

And Zhu Yunxi also believes that if he gives Ma He more room to play and a broader performance stage, he will definitely be able to do better.

The second is that it is actually very difficult to find people who are suitable for leading a boat to sea.

Officials have families, wives and children, and I am afraid that not many people are willing to let them be separated from their families for a long time and go overseas where their fate is unknown and their future is uncertain.

Moreover, leading the fleet to sea is a great task, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Ma He is capable, and he is a eunuch, and he has no worries, which is indeed the most suitable.

However, Ma He didn't expect that Zhu Yunxi would give him such a heavy responsibility.

After all, he was just a guy who had just come over.

A lowly slave.

How did the heavy task of leading a ship to sea fall on his head?

He was puzzled by this.

But he has more and more respect for Zhu Yunxi and is more and more grateful.

How important is it to promote him from a slave to a general who commands the army to go to sea?

How can he repay such a kindness?

Ma He is excited and entangled?

Can I still lurk around him, and can I still report his affairs to King Yan?

If you really do this, how can you be worthy of the trust and reuse of His Royal Highness Taisun?

But if not, what face will there be to face King Yan?

For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

"Good!" Zhu Yunxi said: "Ma He, I want to give you a surname, give you a surname Zheng." ”

"Zheng, be diligent and prudent."

"Sailing out to sea and exploring a new continent is no small matter, and it goes without saying that it is dangerous in all its aspects."

"You must be cautious in your actions, I give you this surname, I hope you keep it in mind."

Ma He's body froze again.

It is a great grace to give a surname.

The Son of Heaven gives surnames only to those who have made great contributions.

And his identity is just a slave.

But it has received such great praise.

Although Zhu Yunxi is not the Son of Heaven now, he is already the prince and the future Son of Heaven.

What does his surname mean, and how can he not know the wisdom of Imah?

At this moment, he was extremely moved and burst into tears.

"His Royal Highness Taisun knows the grace of the encounter, although Zheng He dies, it is difficult to repay it, and he will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and he is willing to wait for His Royal Highness Taisun again."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I won't let you be a cow or a horse." However, since you stayed in Jinling City, you still came to me. If you think Daoyan will not return to Beiping, I don't know if I can take Gu to see him. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng He suddenly stood on the spot, like a wooden chicken.
