Chapter 1,499 War

Fast Chinese. One-click direct access to Chinese domain names

Wen Rensheng also saw the shortcomings of the Eastern court.

Queen Mother Lu made such a big deal, and nearly a hundred years later, the dynasty has become much more prosperous, and there is never a shortage of money financially.

The wealth of the people has also greatly increased. As long as they are willing to work hard, as long as they do not encounter diseases, accidents, man-made disasters, or natural disasters, ordinary people can finally become slaves.

Even if you lose your land, you can still survive by selling hard work.

Navigation, treasure hunting, and various major industries of the imperial court... are all absorbing a large amount of cheap labor.

If the court has money, it can provide disaster relief and suppress rebellions.

Even if 70% of the silver is lost to others, the 70% of the silver will eventually return to the court.

The officials deceived the Queen Mother and the Emperor, the Queen Mother used poison to deceive the officials and the rich man, a good cycle...

The maritime trade was also booming, and countless people wanted to find the Fountain of Youth and break the royal monopoly.

Don't think that the royal family has much majesty. Just saying it cannot compete with the people can prevent many emperors from intervening in many industries.

It's a pity that they can't find something that doesn't exist.

However, these are not what Wen Rensheng wants to see most.

The scientific foundation and rational atmosphere he most wanted to see have still not developed.

When people study Western learning, it is still the same as in the late Ming Dynasty. They pick up what is most practical and easiest to apply in real life.

The real foundations of the West, such as universities, libraries, rational thinking, and a comfortable discussion atmosphere, all do not exist.

Queen Mother Lu had no intention of introducing this. She created the Fountain of Agelessness, engaged in reincarnation, engaged in trade, and introduced Western learning in order to solve the cycle of chaos in the feudal dynasty and permanently secure her position as Queen Mother, rather than to help the progress of civilization.

The one who really has this ultimate need and self-realization is the fat monk.

In fact, he did the same in previous and modern times, dividing science and technology into two parts: applied technology and basic theory.

Those who study basic theories in college, such as physics and mathematics, have become Tiankeng majors.

There are also the so-called biochemical environmental materials and the four major sinkholes.

The 21st century is about biological technology. As a result, those who study biology have switched careers to study computers and finance...

At least in the previous life, there was an overall guidance, and there were public departments studying these things.

At this time, the Eastern court had learned four different things.

A little bit of everything, nothing organized.

…………

During the first civilization deduction, Wen Rensheng found that he was on the verge of failure.

He also let go, letting Xiao Huan mess around, and the family could play as much as they wanted.

His heart was broken because of the wonderful evolution of civilization that turned it into this state.

Not to mention fishing, you can’t even catch shrimps.

As for solving the mystery of civilization and solving the ambition of game simulators, there is no trace of it.

Doesn't it require him to take action himself?

That would leave too many traces and not attract big fish.

He had to admit that without the blow of blood and fire, the Eastern Court would always lie in the comfort zone created by nature.

Occasionally, some fringe areas become more civilized, but overall they are still living in a feudal society.

Dongzhou was able to break this curse because he relied on the forcible improvement of the aliens.

And in the civilization he evolved, the only mysterious factors were the Queen Mother Lu, the fat monk, Nile, and the astrologer.

There are only four people here, and it is already very impressive to be able to change into this state.

But they cannot change the minds of the public.

Materials determine consciousness, and geographical environment determines the development route of civilization. If you want to change, you must start with changes in the geographical environment.

The great voyage connected the original isolated islands and abruptly changed the geographical environment.

…………

The war started out of nowhere.

Of course, this is for the princes in the court, and for the Western navigators, merchants, pirates and colonists, the war should have started long ago.

The Eastern court was too rich, they made too much money.

Also, they actually have a fountain of youth, but it’s hard to buy.

Western merchants imported many kinds of commodities, but the self-sufficiency brought about by the farm economy caused them to be indifferent to foreign commodities.

In the previous life, Western merchants used crows for trade, but this life is similar. They introduced the same deceptive stuff.

The difference is that in the previous life the Qing Dynasty was passively beaten, but in this life the court is still very powerful.

Just like the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it still had the ability to drive away Western colonists.

In this generation, the court had more money, and Western colonists came from far away.

The slight advantages in technology and ships cannot resist the money and people of the imperial court.

What's more, since the imperial court has money, it can bribe Western mercenaries and armed merchant ships.

Western colonists were not monolithic and were quickly divided.

Some Western countries are relatively wealthy and are willing to engage in trade honestly. They just go to supermarkets and buy whatever they have. They become second-hand dealers.

Some Western countries were too poor to bear this kind of trade deficit, so they started fighting and became pirates, specializing in robbing Eastern merchant ships.

This kind of bloodletting seemed to be harmless to the Eastern court.

The imperial court continues to lie in its comfort zone.

Anyway, those pirates couldn't get ashore, and they couldn't get to the capital.

The capital has real troops and real wages, so it is not afraid of pirates.

The Ming Dynasty was so afraid of Japanese pirates that it was caused by financial bankruptcy. There were no more soldiers that one guard could fight, and a dozen Japanese pirates could roam a province.

The Qi family army relied on real troops and adequate pay, coupled with Zhang Juzheng's reforms, to defeat the Japanese pirates.

The court in this world is much richer than the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers were well fed, but the officers were not afraid of death, because they had given themselves the medicine to prepare for reincarnation...

This was something Empress Dowager Lu did not expect.

On the battlefield, the bravest people are not the soldiers, but the middle and lower generals, who can still make it with three thousand taels.

In order to encourage these generals and make them work harder, the imperial court issued a special decree that after the generals who died in battle were reincarnated, they could inherit 10% to 50% of the merits of their previous lives, depending on the nature of the merits.

If you die in battle and achieve great achievements, you will have a higher starting point in the next life.

If a general is brave and is not afraid of death, he will be able to lead the army easily.

Civil servants loved money even more, but military generals were not afraid of death and succeeded in deceiving the Fountain of Youth.

Time continues to flow slowly.

More than two hundred years have passed again.

At this time, everyone in the imperial court was celebrating with lights and colorful decorations.

"Celebrating the 500th anniversary of our dynasty!"

"There has never been a prosperous dynasty for five hundred years in ancient times."

"Long live the Queen Mother."

The capital was full of people celebrating.

People were well dressed, with less than half wearing silk clothes. Others were neatly dressed, well-nourished and in good spirits.

Several foreign businessmen were watching and discussing on the second floor.

"It's incredible that such a huge Eastern court can last for five hundred years. Our kingdom will change to another king within a hundred years at most."

"Their tricks are pretty good at deceiving people. Besides, if they have the Fountain of Youth, the court will have money. If they have money to maintain it, the court will not fail."

"Yes, everything is basically money. If you have money, you can continue to circulate. The business will not fail, and neither will the court."

Several foreign businessmen nodded.

"I heard that the Great Su Country has developed a steam engine, which is used in weaving and ships. It is very fast."

"The Great Su Kingdom seems to be starting to rise. I heard that they defeated the Daya Kingdom at sea a few days ago."

"It seems they are going to start intervening in the Eastern Channel. I wonder if it will be convenient for crossing the sea in the future."
