"It was said that I talked too much. After the defeat of Yongle City, Your Majesty had not cured. So Taibao asked about Your Majesty's condition many times, and then asked many doctors to make judgments based on what I said, so that this recipe was found," Huang He said: "Especially when drinking, several doctors said that if Your Majesty wants to live for a long time, you must not get drunk. Taibao is worried. After all, whether it is to launch a bank department, trade taxes, or destroy Xixia, you must get your Majesty's support. But I don't think that the problem is that your Majesty is not a person who is addicted to alcohol, but..."

If Wang Ju had not appeared, most of the wine in the Song Dynasty was low-alcohol wine, so some women and children often drank alcohol.

Although Zhao Xu was not addicted to alcohol, he also had to have a few cups with his ministers during some major ceremonies or palace banquets.

But it's not accurate now, is this appropriate?

Huang He's tone changed: "But I think this is Taibao's concern for His Majesty."

How did Zhao Xu die? It is recorded in "Xu Zizhi Tongjian Changbian" that Zhao Xu was in the Dayan ministers of Jiying Hall, "the five elements of wine were eliminated, and the above was taken medicine."

Later, Li Tao also made an addition: "Old news about Fang Weng's family: Yuanfeng Qiuyan, the ancestor of the gods raised wine, his hands were slow, the cups were overturned, and the wine was touched by the imperial robe. At that time, the music of the marigolds was rumored, and some officials thought it was auspicious, so they banned it."

Another record in "Lao Xue'an Notes": "In the autumn banquet in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the temple raised an imperial cup to show the Prime Minister Wang Qigong below. Suddenly, the wind was shaking. His hand was weak and the cup was on his side, and the rest of the imperial robe was scattered..."

Well, the cause of death has come out, wind and stroke.

The causes of stroke are worries, anger, poor diet, and indulging indulgence in alcohol and desire.

Although Zhao Xu was suspicious by nature and was not as calm as Song Renzong, he was a restrained person in life and could not indulge in desires.

Then it can only be the first two reasons. If you want to be dictatorial and take back all rights, then more government affairs will be handled, and it is possible to improper diet.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng died young because of this.

Two crushing defeats, worrying and angering are inevitable.

Wang Ju didn't know much about the specific one, he only knew that he died of a stroke, and then he ate too much wine at a palace banquet where the ministers were about to entertain the ministers. The stroke broke out, and this time was approaching.

That's why this recipe came out and Zhao Xu was forcibly forbidden from eating wine.

This thing is the most tragic thing when you touch this thing. In history, the time Zhao Xu had a serious stroke, and wine was the main reason.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu would have lived for a few more years. When Song Zhezong grew up and Gao Taotao was unable to rule, then there would be no Yuanyou party struggles. Moreover, Zhao Xu was seriously ill, and Song Zhezong would not dare to treat the doctor in the palace, and would not tolerate Xiao Cheng's abuse of Song Zhezong in the palace, causing Song Zhezong to be in poor health.

Later, why did Emperor Shenzong of Ming torture and kill Zhang Juzheng's whole family after Zhang Juzheng's death? The principle is the same, this is not allowed to be made and that is not allowed to be eaten. This makes the life of Emperor Shenzong of Ming worse than that of a civilian. But what about Zhang Juzheng himself? He lives a life of extravagance and extreme desire in secret. Can Emperor Shenzong of Ming be happy?

When he was a child, he fell into the root of his illness. When he was developing, he was because of Xiao Cheng's desire to destroy humans and maintain the laws of nature. With Gao Taotao and under Xiao Cheng's supervision, Zhao Xu could only get a pitiful diet, and his nutrition could not keep up, and he could not even play and laugh during his youth. Therefore, Song Zhezong lived so shortly.

That is, if Zhao Xu lived for five years, the entire history of the Song Dynasty would be rewritten...

After understanding these things, you will know why Wang Ju hated the Cheng brothers. They were not Neo-Confucianists of the Song Dynasty. But the two most vicious Yue Buqun in the Song Dynasty!

"Transfer to the Imperial Doctor!"

After a while, more than a dozen imperial doctors brought them over.

Zhao Xu asked, "I got sick last year, so I was not allowed to drink alcohol?"

The leader of the imperial doctor was about to speak when he suddenly saw Zhang Shangying and the other two. Zhang Shangying secretly shook his eyes. He immediately woke up and realized: "Your Majesty, it's best not to drink wine."

"Why don't you say it?"

"I am afraid that Your Majesty will be unhappy."

"I am not happy, don't you tell me?"

Zhang Shangying immediately smoothed out the situation for these imperial doctors: "Your Majesty is solemn, they are just timid. However, the Taibao said that whether Your Majesty agrees or not. But this time he will offer you six great gifts to Your Majesty."

"Six great gifts?"

"I don't know much. It may be some high-yield grain seeds brought back from the other side."

"On the other side?"

"Well, it's very far from the Song Dynasty, nearly 40,000 miles away. There are also some mechanical and technical weapons. But Taibao said again that it was not because he did not obey the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, and went to Mizhou first, waiting for the silver transfer from Japan."

…………

"This is too arrogant." An Tao thought with dissatisfaction.

He didn't know the three "unreasonable demands" that Wang Ju made.

But even though he knew, he dared not say anything.

So many people were cleansed because of this son, and he even thought that Lu Gongzhu and Feng Jing were cleansed because of Wang Ju.

The group came to the bank of Wuzhang River outside the city, a relatively desolate salt water area.

Wang Ju greeted him and bowed, "I have met Your Majesty, and I have met you all."

Everyone doesn't know what to say.

"Your Majesty, please send guards to expel all the pedestrians and people within three miles of the surrounding area and let them come back later."

"Why?" Cai Que asked.

"It has to be done with the same weapon, to keep it confidential."

Then what else? Zhao Xu immediately asked the guards to expel the people.

Wang Ju said, "Please accept the first gift from your master."

He said, waved his hand and the servants carried a few boxes up.

Wang Ju opened the box and said, "These are three types of grain crops. They are drought-resistant and very high-yield, and the yield per mu can reach a few stones or dozens of stones. In order to get them, more than 2,000 heroes were sacrificed. However, with them, we can immediately increase our grain output and even alleviate the pressure on population growth."

These three crops are potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

By the Ming Dynasty, they also appeared in China, but because the rulers did not pay attention, they promoted it very slowly in China. This also shows that these emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were not as good as Emperor Zhenzong of Song, who was rated as a fool.

In fact, there are many good things on the other side, such as tomatoes, pumpkins, peanuts, peppers, and sunflowers... But Wang Ju sent people mainly to find rubber in addition to these three kinds of grains. Not only did they find rubber trees, this thing can be moved, but it took a long time to get the gum. So in addition to finding the saplings to transfer, they also had to cut a large amount of gum tape there. Time was urgent, and the local strong natives harassed from time to time. Therefore, they did not look for it again.

However, when he came back, three thousand people were left behind and three settlements were opened up as bridgeheads for the future.

But I have not yet touched the core of civilization on the other side.

In short, I want to completely conquer the other side. With the current advantages of weapons, it is still relatively difficult.

But this is not in a hurry.

Therefore, once the people go up on a large scale and officially cultivate them, these vegetables, fruits and grains can be found sooner or later.

"Your Majesty. This is their cultivation method." Wang Ju handed over a memorial.

This is the yield of dozens of stones per mu.

Zhao Xu was very cautious and said to Kumamoto, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, "Xiong Qing, you are responsible and send experienced old farmers to plant. After the planting is successful, count the yield and then promote it."

People think that food is the best, and they are indeed a great gift.

Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, everyone, please get on the boat."

Three strange small and medium-sized escort ships, powered by steam engines, entered Huangou from the Bian River, anchored in Liangshan, and then joined Wang Ju to the capital.

Wang Ju took everyone to one of them, and there were a ship full of sealed boxes in the cabin.

The people opened the boxes one by one.

Most of them are gold bars and silver bars, one weighs eight taels, which is half a pound, which is equivalent to 291 grams.

Originally, Wang Ju wanted to cast one or two pieces of money, but the density of gold and silver was too high. The casting was too small and the cost was a bit high. Anyway, it was used as principal, not circulating currency. So it was cast into half a pound of weight.

In addition to casting into long strips, there is also a large character engraved on it: Song.

There are also a few silver ingots of seven large and eight small, which have just been transported from Japan.

Wang Ju said, "Your Majesty, there are a total of 1.4 million taels of gold and 8.674 million taels of silver here. In the next six years, some gold and silver will be transferred from the other side. We are preparing to make up three million taels of gold and 20 million taels of silver. With these gold and silver, it is enough to launch the banking department."

"Enough, enough." Zhao Xu said happily.

This is scary gold and silver. If it is replaced with copper coins, it will be equivalent to 100 billion civic and more than 120 million civic.

"Your Majesty, the merchants on the other side have a lot of opinions about this, but after being suppressed by me, they finally agreed. However, Your Majesty wants to promise that this is the advance payment of the merchants on the other side, not an additional donation."

That is, donations have been paid in advance for more than 30 years.

"Accurate it, correct it."

Wang Ju swept the remaining ministers, who were also blinded by so much gold and silver, and said, "Because of donating so much silver, everyone on the other side will have to wait for a long time. Although they may have been wandering on the sea for a long time and have a rebellious personality, how many scholars and officials can do it in terms of patriotism?"

Wang Ju caught a lot of gold bars and said, "And you have not calculated that if you set up a bank department in the future and use one cent of interest, the gold and silver will be more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times more than three times

"So I think they are the second great gift given to His Majesty by all the seamen and the people on the other side."

With this sentence, if someone uses a seaman to talk about things in the future, it will be called ignorant of the situation.

In fact, it is really squeezed out.

If you rely on profit, you will not be able to hand over so much gold and silver, although trade reverse production and violent mining have obtained a large amount of gold and silver.

In addition to trade, many income from pit mine workshops were auctioned. Except for some of them left in case, the remaining income was brought over.

An Tao was in a heavy mood.

These are just two of the six great gifts, and there are four.

With these six great gifts, this kid even made a serious mistake and could also go to the court openly!

Wang Ju took everyone back to the ashore.

Zhao Xu looked at the strange chimney and asked curiously: "I heard from Zhang Qing that a huge sea ship has recently emerged on the other side. Is it this kind of ship?"

"Your Majesty, these are all test ships. They are loaded with a new type of machine. I have entrusted my students to develop on the other side a long time ago, but it has never been very successful. After I went to the other side, I personally presided over it, and sent someone from the other side to bring back a kind of gum and used it to make a sealing ring. This was why I barely succeeded. But what exactly depends on how it practiced. As a matter of fact, some problems arise one after another, but as long as I find the problem, I can solve it."

Steam ships are not only the steam engine itself, but also involve the casting technology of propellers.

In short, when the ship came, there were no major problems and minor problems. Fortunately, the sails were not cancelled, so repairs along the way did not hinder navigation.

Moreover, Wang Ju also intends to ride this kind of ship. Although he is not an expert, the rest are not an expert, at least he does not have his vision.

Therefore, after a long-distance voyage, some problems arose one after another. Wang Ju gradually found out the causes of these problems and then could make further improvements.

In other words, these ships are just temporary steam engines. After a significant improvement next year, they can basically be used formally with sails.

As for those super-large ships, they were completely declared a failure after this voyage.

Although thick steel was used as keels, the bottom of the ship was wet, and the waves in the Shanghai area were bumpy, and the large area of ​​keels began to rust. In other words, if you want to officially launch this new large ship, you must develop real anti-rust paint and planing technology.

But it is not a failure. Although several huge ships spent a lot of money, the construction of these ships was equivalent to accumulating a lot of experience.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he and everyone understood that new technology is good. If you want to study new technology, it will cost a lot of money. Even several super ships with a load capacity of 40,000 to 50,000 stones, and a very expensive super ship will also be burned... (~^~)
