Chapter 868 Chinese is so Difficult to Learn Finale
After listening to Yan Yingyuan's detailed account, everyone in the Wenhua Hall couldn't help but secretly lament the cruelty of the Western Barbarians. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was strong enough and did not allow the Western Barbarians to harm the Ming Dynasty.
Many people in the palace couldn't help but look at Duke Xingguo when they thought of this. When the Western Yi invaded Jiangnan, it was Duke Xing who hurried back from the battlefield in Liaodong to turn the tide. Otherwise, even if they defeated the Western Yi with their numbers, they would not be afraid of the people in the Jiangnan area.
They will also suffer greatly from it.
After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, no one in the hall spoke for a while. Finally, it was Zhong Jinwei who reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Western barbarians are behaving like animals in North and South America and do not treat the Indians as human beings. This just gave me the opportunity to Ming Dynasty.
.Now that the King of Tang has established a foothold in North America, and the route has been tested by the fleet, I suggest that we speed up the process of feudal feudalism in North America."
When Zhong Jinwei said this, everyone's thoughts were brought back to the present. Emperor Chongzhen nodded and expressed his position to the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty in the palace: "I have this intention. What do you think?"
"I also agree. The more Ming vassal kings we have in North America, the stronger our power will be. Only in this way can we expand our territory in North America." Wen Tiren, the first assistant, seconded the opinion.
Emperor Chongzhen and the two most influential ministers all had the same opinion. Naturally, others had no other opinions and expressed their agreement. As long as the transportation capacity is sufficient, as many vassal kings can be passed at one time as many vassal kings can pass by.
Among them, Zhong Jinwei also expressed another opinion: "Your Majesty, Spain will definitely not be willing to let the Ming Dynasty meddle with the Americas. Even if the power in America is not enough to compete with the army of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely send messengers back to the country to ask for help. In the future, in the Americas
There will inevitably be some battles, which is one of the reasons why I suggest accelerating the feudal feudal process in North America."
When he said this, no one would naturally have objections. In fact, it did not go beyond Zhong Jinwei's expectations. Spain counterattacked with all its strength, but when it was not strong enough, it compromised with other countries, Portugal, Britain, and the Netherlands, which had coveted America for a long time.
The other countries united to resist the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the two sides formed a temporary stalemate in Latin America, and neither could completely drive the other away from the Americas.
After Yan Yingyuan returned to the Ming Dynasty, the court made every effort to prepare for the vassal in North America in the coming year.
Under the propaganda of newspapers and public opinion, North America was promoted as a paradise. There was enough land and resources there for the people of the Ming Dynasty to possess. Various vassal kings made jaw-dropping promises in an effort to attract the people of the Ming Dynasty to come to North America.
.
In addition, the major shipyards of the Ming Dynasty have been building sea-going ships over the past year, so that the number of vassal kings heading to North America in the second year reached four. Just as someone exaggerated for the first time, the ships in front of the fleet had already arrived in Liaodong, and
The last ships of the fleet are still at Tianjin Wei waiting to set sail.
Under the supervision of Zhong Jinwei, the institute had made every effort to promote various crops in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and had achieved preliminary results. The food available to the people of the Ming Dynasty increased a lot, making up for the reduction in food production caused by the Little Ice Age.
.
Zhong Jinwei also instructed the Agricultural Research Institute to conduct hybrid research on various crops cultivated in the Ming Dynasty and various crops tributed by North American Indians, in an effort to cultivate crops with high yield and durability.
Food from Southeast Asia has been flowing into the Ming Dynasty continuously, serving as a powerful supplement to the crops grown by the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Despite this, the food crisis in the Ming Dynasty has not really passed. Because with the improvement of the living conditions of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the popularization of health and epidemic prevention knowledge, the population of the Ming Dynasty is also experiencing explosive growth.
While the imperial court continued to exchange arms for food, it also began to build water conservancy projects across the country. Due to the rapid increase in steel production, the imperial court had enough capital to promote iron tools for agricultural use.
The GDP of the Ming Dynasty also began to show explosive growth with the gradual popularization of steam engines. All this strongly supported the demand brought about by the population growth of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhong Jinwei, as a person from later generations, controlled the development of science and technology in Ming Dynasty. As a result, Ming Dynasty technology basically did not go astray, and progressed by leaps and bounds, far ahead of the world.
He also took time to compile textbooks on various subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry in a recall manner, and then convened people who were good at different subjects in the Ming Dynasty for discussions. He also referred to some books brought back from Europe to write a textbook that was in line with the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.
Several sets of hierarchical teaching materials have begun to be promoted and used.
Therefore, although Zhong Jinwei no longer leads the army in wars and does not hold any official position in the government, his reputation becomes more and more famous and widespread.
Among scholars in the Ming Dynasty, more and more people consider themselves to be students of Duke Xingguo, and they sincerely admire Duke Xingguo's erudition. Even if there are many people who do not believe in gods and Buddhas, more and more people say that Duke Xingguo is a deity from heaven who descended to earth.
After hearing the rumors, I became skeptical.
In June of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway took more than two years to be completed. Its strong transportation capacity caused the feudal officials in various provinces to write letters requesting the construction of railways in their provinces.
As time goes by, a new generation replaces the old. Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Before his death, he regretfully said to Zhong Jinwei who came to visit: "My lord, I regret that I can't survive a few more years, or I have to
I'm about the same age as you. In this case, I won't just see the electric glow you mentioned!"
Zhong Jinwei had already invented the electric light at this time, but it was not the kind of later generations. This kind of electric light was still very primitive and very expensive to use. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, only a few palaces and cabinets in the imperial palace had it.
Just used electric lights.
Before Zhong Jinwei could respond, Wen Tiren held Zhong Jinwei's hand tightly and continued: "I can see that Ming Dynasty is what it is today, and it's all due to you!"
Zhong Jinwei could not help but have tears in his eyes as he looked at the dying Wen Tiren, whose oil was exhausted and the lamp was drying up. He was speechless for a long time. If it were not for Wen Tiren's support, he would not have been able to transform the Ming Dynasty so smoothly.
After Wen Tiren said this, he lay on the bed and rested for a while. He looked up at the top of the bed and said with a hint of satisfaction: "The steamship test was successful, and the deadlock between North America and Western Yi will soon be broken. The Cochin clan has arrived.
Represent the imperial court and request surrender. The countries in Southeast Asia are also under the control of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty is willing, I can send the Southern Fleet to accept it at any time..."
Wen Tiren kept talking about Ming Dynasty's current achievements, and behind these achievements was his contribution. Zhong Jinwei listened quietly, unwilling to disturb his story.
In Zhong Jinwei's heart, there was something else that he vowed to develop within his lifetime. It was yellow gunpowder, commonly known as tnt.
Several years later, at King's Royal School in England, a young man stood up and asked his teacher: "This Chinese language is too difficult to learn. Why don't you learn it?"
Upon hearing this, the teacher scolded: "If you want to be in line with international standards and go to Ming Dynasty to learn more advanced knowledge, you must master Chinese! Isaac, do you understand?"
Isaac Newton grimaced and sat down helplessly.
The teacher then continued the class and said to his students: "Next, let's learn the meaning of each 'meaning' below. Raise your hands if you understand."
When Ah-Dai gave the leader a red envelope, the conversation between the two was quite interesting.
Leader: "What do you mean?"
Dumb: "It doesn't mean anything, it means nothing."
