"The prerequisite for earning overseas wealth is that we can ensure our own safety. If we are targeted by those big seafaring countries and invade us, war will still happen.
Therefore, the prerequisite for launching a sea ban is that we will eliminate the slaves and complete the reorganization of the navy. I believe that this day will come soon, and the Ming Dynasty will become the richest country in the world.
My dreams of living and working in peace and contentment, and being able to provide for myself when I am old will definitely come true. "
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Listening to the emperor's summary, everyone congratulated and their eyes were full of excitement. The prosperous age is coming.
At this point, the maritime ban has been initially settled.
"Also, let me inform you that from now on, before the Su Ma Li Qing glaze is regained, the blue and white porcelain of the official kiln will not be fired with Sum Li Qing, and will all be fired with Ping Ping Qing."
Suma Liqing was brought back from Persia by Zheng He. It is now extremely rare. In later generations, it was said that Suma Liqing had become extinct.
He didn't know whether it was the raw materials that had disappeared or the skill of mixing glazes that had disappeared.
But he knew that after Zheng He's voyages to the West, the blue and white porcelain from the official kilns was sold to Western countries. Hundreds of years later, they were all lying in museums in various countries and became precious cultural relics. Each piece was worth dozens of dollars. Millions, even hundreds of millions.
However, there is very little stock in the local area. The crystallization of this kind of culture and art must stay in the country.
Seeing that everyone wanted to ask why, Chongzhen didn't want to get too entangled in this matter and directly changed the topic.
"Xu Aiqing, it's already noon. If you don't mind a pair of bowls and chopsticks for me and a few Aiqings, let's see how the food here is like!"
"It is an honor for you, Your Majesty, to have dinner here. I will prepare it now!"
No one stopped the emperor's decision.
Although he is an emperor, he is not extravagant in food. From the northwest inspection to Longjing Pass and the southward inspection, the emperor has eaten dry food many times, and they are not surprised.
In just a quarter of an hour, Xu Guangqi led several people into the meeting hall carrying large plates, and the rich aroma wafted through.
"Your Majesty, I have attended your Majesty's potato banquet in the Huangji Palace, and I think the self-help method is very good, so the self-service method adopted by the Firearms Research Institute,
As long as there is no waste, you can eat as much as you like. Officials and craftsmen all eat together, no matter how big or small the stove is. "
Xu Guangqi opened the food box as he spoke. Braised pork, braised chicken with radish, roast duck... more than ten dishes, including both meat and vegetables, and the meat was all large pieces.
"Dean Xu, the food at your Firearms Research Institute is okay!"
"Although this treatment is not as good as the Warrior Camp, it is much better than our Tengxiang Four Guards!"
"Well, it's all about sex, dean Xu, you've spent a lot of money!"
"You guys are laughing. A lot of people here have to use their brains. Only when they eat well can they have the energy to work and be more efficient. As long as each person works a little bit, the value created will be far greater than the food cost. Much higher.
The loss caused by the mistake of a Hongyi cannon is higher than our food expenses for a month. It's not worth the loss!
In fact, we don’t eat so much every day. After all, if we eat these meats for a month, everyone will get tired of them! "
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, listen...is this human talk?
Looking at the dishes, Chongzhen called out in his heart, "Good guy." Such rich dishes and real ingredients will make future generations of capitalists cry.
But I have to say that the big pot dishes taste delicious.
After having lunch at the Firearms Research Institute and giving some instructions to Xu Guangqi and the other three, Chongzhen led his ministers to leave the Firearms Research Institute and return to Qianqing Palace.
Jinyiwei commander Li Ruolian was already waiting outside Qianqing Palace.
After entering Dongnuan Pavilion and saluting, Chongzhen looked at Li Ruolian: "Li Aiqing, there are three things you need to arrange.
First, send a message to Yang Qingyun and ask him to come back. I have important arrangements;
Second, notify the Jin Yiwei and the patrol envoys of the Jiangwu Hall to look for people with talents in mathematics, physics, mechanics, etc. in the Ming Dynasty. The age limit is between 18 and 30 years old. The family background must be clean and the character must be first. There were about thirty people, so this had to be done quickly;
Third, send a message to Nanjing Imperial College to offer wine to Cheng Tunxi, asking him to return to Beijing immediately after finishing his work! "
"I will make arrangements later!"
After Li Ruolian responded, he whispered: "Your Majesty, I have three things to report. First, this morning, Jin Yiwei received a letter from the loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu.
They have already joined the 6,000 white pole recruits led by Qin Zuoming in Guiyang. While they are repairing, they are also waiting for the Yulei Camp and are expected to arrive in Ami Prefecture in mid-October. "
"The second thing is that Luo Sigong from Guilin sent back news that he discovered that some people from the Yao tribe had entered the mountains. Although they were circling around in the mountains, they were heading southwest."
After Li Ruolian finished speaking, he walked to the side and marked some places on the map, and continued: "Master Luo deduced that the rebel group of Yao people most likely knew that they were exposed, so they began to move and look for allies.
Judging from the current direction of advance, there are two possibilities. First, they retreat to the Hekou area of Yunnan, because there is also a Yao tribe there with a population of about 100,000. It is extremely easy to cultivate and recuperate or recruit troops. ;
Secondly, it is very likely that the tribesmen from Hekou and the descendants of She'an who retreated to Ami Prefecture joined forces to stay warm and jointly resist the imperial encirclement and suppression, because Hekou was only a hundred miles away from Ami Prefecture. "
"You are really evil!"
Looking at the location marked on the map, Chongzhen instantly believed Luo Sigong's judgment.
At the same time, he also sighed that he was worthy of being the person who has been in charge of Jinyiwei for nearly twenty years. He has an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
After sighing, his face turned cold: "Send an order to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Wang Chongde, to mobilize a large army to feign pursuit, with a larger force, and force them to march towards Ami Prefecture.
At the same time, we also tried to deceive the Yao people and see if any of the Yao people or colluded officials around Guilin showed any signs of malpractice.
Luo Sigong was ordered to pay close attention to the dynamics of the Yao people. If any rebels are found, they will be arrested immediately. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!
He sent an order to Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the southwest, to let the army occupy several official roads in and out of Ami Prefecture, let the Yao people go to Ami Prefecture, let them join together, and wait for Qin Liangyu to arrive before taking action.
Once a fighter plane is captured, there is no need to ask for instructions, just act immediately to catch them all;
Send an order to Qin Liangyu, winter is about to begin. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. Don't attack too hastily. Just attack slowly and steadily! "
"I obey the decree!"
After Li Ruolian responded, Chongzhen continued: "What is the third thing?"
"Your Majesty, this is the military information that Jin Yiwei sent back from North Korea. Please take a look at it!"
PS: Friends, there is no problem in chasing updates, but the number of updates is nearly one-third lower. What’s going on...
