"Jiang Xiaoyu is very good. He actually directly entered the high-level meeting of the island country. He is really impressive."
Zhuo Qun listened to Liao Yong's words and touched his nose.
Jiang Xiaoyu did so well, which made Xiang Yu a little excited, but when he saw Zhuo Qun touching his nose, he didn't say anything. He knew that Zhuo Qun remembered that he also wanted to play like this, But if he messed up, Zhuo Qun would lose face if he had to say good things about Jiang Xiaoyu.
"How are you doing with the information over there?"
Xiang Yu asked Liao Yong, let's get down to business now.
"We found out the situation very smoothly. Jiang Xiaoyu arranged identities for us, and he is still in the island country's government. This makes it very convenient for us to investigate things. We can enter and exit various libraries and archives very freely."
Liao Yong said.
"What about the language? Are you okay with it? Do you understand it?"
Xiang Yu asked.
"Yes, we have no problem communicating, reading and writing. After practicing that New Era Summoning, not only have our bodies become stronger, but our minds have also become much more flexible."
Liao Yong said that if he had had this brainpower, it would not have been a problem to get into college.
"Well, it's normal. As Li Changfu said in his report, after your body becomes strong, the blood can carry more nutrients to the brain, making the brain more fully nourished and making the brain cells more active. It only takes a few months to make people smarter and learn a new language. Just like Gu Hongming and others said that learning Japanese takes only half a month at the earliest. Although you are not as good as them, you are still better than ordinary people. Much more.”
Zhuo Qun said that in his opinion, the most useful physical training method in the Northern Song Dynasty was this physical training method. It was so powerful and it comprehensively strengthened the human body. It was great. The only problem was that the appetite doubled, but in Zhuo Qun thinks this is a good thing, as he can taste more delicious food.
"How is the technology in that world? How different is it from ours?"
Zhuo Qun wanted to see how the world of the Ming Dynasty was developing, and how far it would develop in three hundred years.
"The technology is about the same as ours, not much ahead."
Liao Yong didn't realize how advanced the technology was there.
"It's impossible. There was a world of time-travelers. How could the technology be similar to ours? How is it possible? Didn't that time-traveler develop technology? It's impossible. When I read the manuscript of the novel before, I clearly remembered it. It is the period of the first industrial revolution, and the steam engine has come out. How can it be that there has been no development for more than two hundred years after death? Have these two hundred years been spent on eating and flying? "
Zhuo Qun couldn't believe what Liao Yong said. If it was similar to what it is now, wouldn't it be just forty years ahead? How could this be possible? Didn't this erase the achievements of the time travellers? Didn't they keep records of their troubles? It was such a bummer coming down.
"This world has fought several wars between the kings of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, there has been no development and expansion for more than a hundred years. As a result, it was caught up by Europa."
Liao Yong introduced the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not develop.
In this world where the demons transformed the Ming Dynasty, after the most awesome time traveler, the fencing madman Emperor Chongzhen, took over, a war among the kings within the Ming Dynasty broke out.
When Chongzhen was still alive, he divided the Ming Dynasty kings into enfeoffments and enfeoffed them. Their territories were in the Middle East, Tianzhu, and Kangaroo Kingdom.
Zhu Yuanzhang's King of Sai system was reused, thinking that even if there was a civil war in the Ming Dynasty in the future, the flesh would rot in the pot.
The system of enfeoffment and entrustment of Sai kings indeed played a great role in the beginning. Those Sai kings cleaned up their territories in a short period of time, leaving only the immigrants from Zhuxia and the aborigines. All disappeared due to disease and tribal wars.
In this way, the territories of the King of Sai developed very quickly, and they were all sacred places and places rich in resources. In addition, they were all descendants of Chongzhen, and they also received Chongzhen's technical support. After Chongzhen's death, decades later It was almost the same as the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, and then for some reason, a new battle of Fengtian broke out, and it was very large-scale.
"Fengtian Jingnan? What's the reason? How did it break out?"
Zhuo Qun rubbed his head. He was really an early time traveler. He was trying to enfeoff and grant real awards. This time it was good, but the game collapsed. But now the Ming Dynasty is still over there, so the local victory should be.
"The Donglin Party appears again."
Zhuo Qun was stunned by what Liao Yong said.
"Didn't they deal with it? Even the academy was blown up. Why did they come out again?"
Zhuo Qun's mind immediately recalled the background of the Donglin Party.
On the surface, the Donglin Party is a bureaucratic class political group dominated by Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats. They demand honesty and integrity, revitalize officialdom, open up channels of speech, eliminate the accumulated abuses of the government and the public, and oppose the corruption and perversion of the law by the powerful.
But this is all superficial. In fact, they are official representatives introduced by businessmen from Jiangnan, just like Zhang Siwei introduced by merchants from Shanxi.
However, Zhang Siwei himself was a Shanxi merchant, so he was the one who ended up directly.
But Jiangnan merchants are different. They never end up doing it themselves. Instead, they continue to fund young scholars one after another to obtain fame and then reward them. This has been the case for hundreds of years.
The Donglin Party is the ultimate collection of these people.
"Yes, everything was dealt with at that time, but it was not dealt with completely until Chongzhen's great-grandson Qianlong ascended the throne."
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Chongzhen's great-grandson, Qianlong, how does this connect to Qianlong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhuo Qun didn't even know what his expression should be. Is this the revisionist nature of history?
He actually brought out Qianlong again. The history is so impressive, and he continues to hold the Zen position. It’s really an endless show.
"Yes, Qianlong still appeared at that time. After 60 years of Zen status, he had the same great achievements. Moreover, he also went to Jiangnan many times and brought out the Donglin Party again. It seems that he paid attention to Jiangnan's industry and commerce. The Donglin Party has risen again. In fact, I don’t know much about it, but I have brought back all the information. You can just read it when the time comes."
Liao Yong drank the tea and poured himself a bowl of water.
Zhuo Qun could imagine what was going on. The businessmen in Jiangnan took action again. It might not just be the businessmen in Jiangnan, but all businessmen and interest groups. It was conceivable that this was for the sake of business tax.
There were not just one or two emperors who died on commercial taxes. Those emperors in the Ming Dynasty who died inexplicably all died on this. Both father and son Hongzhi and Zhengde died on this. If it weren't for Jiajing's tricks, Gao will also die on this.
The emergence of the Donglin Party means that businessmen no longer want to pay taxes, want their own status, and are beginning to reach out for power.
