Chapter 623: Looking for a New World(1/2)
When did the West start to cross the chasm of the times from the chaos of shit and urine to reach the pinnacle of the world?
Over the past countless years, Zhu Yunxi has been thinking about this issue.
now.
He roughly figured it out.
It was the Central Plains people who went west again and again, spreading the mysterious and rich Eastern mythology to the West.
Beginning in the Song Dynasty, nomads on the grasslands brought knowledge and books from the Central Plains to the West during their conquests.
In the previous hundred years, plus the current hundreds of years, the Central Plains has accumulated and inherited five thousand years of history, which has been continuously stolen to the West.
Knowledge is a very serious matter.
Taking the Central Plains as an example, every time a new dynasty is established and a new implementation is implemented, it is a new leap in society.
It can be deduced from this that when a society is in chaos and separation for a long time, the politics, economy, military and science of the entire society cannot have long-term development.
So.
How could the West, which was far more chaotic and even weaker in overall national power than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, develop a world hegemony that would dominate the world for hundreds of years in such a situation?
The distant and mysterious East is like a divine dragon that has fallen from the sky, lying on the earth in pain, leaving those who still live in chaos and disorder in the West to have such a glimmer of hope that they can quietly
Opportunities to nibble.
But no one has ever dared to say outright that everything at that time was fake.
Because the establishment of a system cannot be broken without absolute power.
There are many external enemies and they are powerful.
At the same time, there are also many internal enemies.
But everything is traceable.
Zhu Yunxi also believes that one day the truth will be revealed.
but.
Those are no longer things he should consider now.
Now, as the emperor's grandson of the empire, Zhu Yunxi only needs to ensure that in this world, Dongfang will always stand on top of the world and suppress all ethnic groups outside the empire.
Then all disasters will be avoided.
"The Ming Dynasty does not have to occupy new lands, but the Ming Dynasty must figure out what this world is like."
Zhu Yunxi came to a decisive conclusion.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Zhu Gaochi also nodded and said: "If you say so, we can let Brother Wen and Sun Cheng take people to take a trip to the strait."
Zhu Yunxi nodded, but then shook his head: "It's not just the strait, nor the land across the strait. I'm going to issue an edict from Taisun to tell everyone in the world."
Taisun's teachings were spread throughout the world.
Zhu Gaochi became interested, with a curious look on his face.
Zhu An (Shun'an King Abu) followed the two of them silently, feeling a burst of joy in his heart.
Fortunately, I surrendered to Ming Dynasty quickly.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have died in Hulun Lake by now.
In the future, he will enjoy all the glory brought by the empire as King Shun'an of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and explained: "Let the world know that anyone who goes to sea or goes out of customs and sees unknown places in the Central Plains should write down the ethnic groups, population, style, resources, etc., and bring them back to the Ming Dynasty, and the court will reward him generously."
"
Westerners could find the New World with only a few broken ships.
It makes no sense that the Ming Dynasty, which has a huge fleet and countless civilian-owned ships, cannot find those unknown lands.
What do those broken ships in the West count in today's Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Yunxi thought about it carefully.
It probably means that it can’t even enter the logistics supply camp sequence of the Ming Navy, let alone become the main combat ship of the Ming Navy.
As for comparing it with those private sea-going ships?
He thought about it seriously again.
Before he left Beijing and headed north, he had heard that the group of meritorious maritime operators headed by the Prince of Zhongshan had increased the carrying capacity of the flagship to 3,000 tons.
There are even rumors that the Royal Palace of Zhongshan is discussing with the cabinet and the Ministry of Industry whether the imperial court can liberalize the construction and ownership of seagoing ships with more than 5,000 pieces of materials.
It is not just the Ministry of Industry that has the best craftsmen in the world.
There are also countless skilled craftsmen under the names of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and others.
There are even rumors that as long as the imperial court can release the carrying capacity of private sea-going ships, they can build sea-going ships worth tens of thousands of materials.
Unprecedented cargo capacity.
Ming people have begun to show a very different style from the past.
Use the power of the country to explore today's world.
Zhu Yunxi even imagined that one day in the future, Ming Dynasty ships exploring new overseas lands would encounter Western ships on the ocean.
There is probably no need to launch an attack.
As long as the hull of the ship pushes through.
The so-called warships of Westerners can only sink to the bottom of the sea.
Can the descendants of a group of pirates really build a whole new world on their own?
Zhu Yunxi spoke again and reminded: "Send a message to Jiang Yu and ask him to prepare manpower. Anyone who goes to sea or leaves customs will strictly check what they bring with them."
Zhu Gaochi immediately took over the words: "All books and texts must not come out of the Ming Dynasty? If this is the case, do you need to remind Jiang Wei again that those who obey the orders of the emperor must have people with royal guards around them to follow them secretly?"
"Can."
Zhu Yunxi calmly replied with one word.
The three of them were silent for a while.
Behind them in the direction of Daqing City, herdsmen and Ming people were building day and night.
Outside the city, there are also construction tasks.
A Daqing City cannot accommodate everyone.
As the political and military center of the Beikong Grassland in the future, Daqing City will inevitably station a large number of Ming troops, numerous government offices, and their extended subsidiary government agencies.
And now that Daqing City has a population of nearly 200,000 people, it is certainly impossible for everyone to be crowded into the city.
The road is straight and even the corners are made at right angles.
Villages everywhere are square and square without any deviation.
The area near the river has been reclaimed as paddy fields, and it still has a square shape.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under Daqing Mountain, almost everything visible to the naked eye is straight and square.
Beyond the river is a vast pasture.
However, even here, it is considered that wooden fences are used to divide square pastures, which are used by herdsmen to drive cattle and sheep to rotate pastures to ensure that the grass in the pastures can grow stably.
A few people were walking on the flat road outside the city, and from time to time they would meet herdsmen and people who were busy doing their work.
These people are often just a little surprised, then stand respectfully at a distance and salute, and then continue to do the work at hand.
Construction is always a joyful thing.
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "I need to tell Zou Xueyu and ask him to find some experienced people in Yingtian Mansion to see if he can set up some workshops in Daqing City.
If it doesn’t work in Daqingcheng, then build workshops in Datong or Xuanfu. In this way, the north can also have some foundation, and we will see if we can use this to pull up the north in the future."
What happens in Yingtian City is always distant and slow in Daqing City.
Whether it is Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Gaochi, they still don't know that the Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian whom they talk about, is about to take office as the powerful governor-general of Zhili.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and wrote down what Zhu Yunxi ordered.
Zhu Yunxi turned to Zhu An and said: "Tell the herdsmen that the imperial court will purchase the cattle and sheep they raise. But Daqing City needs to find a way to ensure the freshness of beef and mutton for a long time. Only in this way can Daqing City
The beef and mutton produced in Qingcheng and the grasslands are sent to Yingtian City.
The common people may not be able to eat meat every day, but the soldiers in the army must ensure it. The imperial court once again issued an order to build more local schools to provide for the children of the common people to study. In places like these, they still need to eat more meat.
Only if our children in the Ming Dynasty grow stronger can we ensure that the future will not be like that of the Song Dynasty. If the people are strong, the country is strong. If the people are knowledgeable, the country is knowledgeable."
Zhu An seems to have already dealt with this.
I saw him speak in a deep voice: "My ministers have also discussed with the herdsmen before, and are planning to build an icehouse that can be pulled by a carriage. By then, it may be improved a little or two, and the beef and mutton from the north can be transported to the south to keep it fresh."
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi looked curious.
