Chapter 968 Book Fairy

However, the stubborn Ming government still rejects the activities of civil maritime trade and immigration, and the sea ban is still not open. All foreign trade and immigration activities must be carried out through the court, that is, under the guidance of the government. As the other end of the ocean, Zhang Fan's team is another organizer of the Ming government's ocean-going event.

Although this did not meet the expectations of Zhang Fan Aken and the book demon, China went to the world in an all-round way. But there is also an advantage that Zhang Fan's team comprehensively monopolized the foreign trade activities of the Ming Empire and became a veritable red-top merchant! With the support of the imperial court, Zhang Fan's team can set up offices in important ports in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang to carry out a series of activities such as trade, shipbuilding, soliciting sailors and immigrants under the official supervision of the Ming Empire.

Of course, the so-called supervision is just a game of political bribery. Zhang Fan's team, holding the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty, can do whatever they want under the protection of the local government that has benefited. Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Hu Zongxian, the inspector of Zhejiang. But now I would like to congratulate Lord Hu. He is already an official patrolman of the Eight Mansions, in charge of the coastal maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and directly connected with Zhang Fan's team! And he is also a court representative of the Ming government's organization of ocean-going undertakings.

In name, Zhang Fan is Jing Haihou, who is more beautiful than Hu Zongxian, but in fact, Hu Zongxian is the first person responsible for the outside world of the whole Ming Empire, and Zhang Fan's team is also under his jurisdiction.

Of course, such ocean activities cannot be achieved overnight. Even a large country like the Ming Empire needs to mobilize a lot of resources and strength. These resources are integrated by Hu Zongxian, who is well aware of the operation of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. The development of the Ming government's ocean-going activities has also benefited him a lot.

From now on, the sea boat manufacturing bases in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang have been launched again, but the sea boats manufactured this time are no longer the kind of sea boats of the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He's fleet. It is the book demon who provides the propeller design drawings and the more powerful sea boat with the strongest wooden sailing technology in modern times! Moreover, all the cannons on the sea ship are also the latest rear-mounted artillery that integrates the modern artillery manufacturing technology according to the manufacturing and casting technology mastered by the current era!

And the book demon also provides stronger steel and gunpowder casting technology. For example, the formula of high-carbon steel is the best refining ratio of modern artillery steel. There are also new gunpowder technologies such as yellow gunpowder, fire cotton (TNT), detoner, primer, etc. For a founding country of gunpowder invention, it is easy to digest and absorb such a technology! The award of these new technologies has improved Chinese casting technology, firearms technology and naval ship technology for several eras, surpassing Western countries for nearly 200 years!

These ideals were originally intended to be realized in their own hiding place in the Caribbean, but now they have become a reality in mainland China ahead of schedule! And the world's largest empire uses the power of the government to integrate the resources of a country. Of course, it is much easier than Zhang Fan's team relying on several pirates to play with new technologies.

What's more, although Hu Zongxian is a corrupt official. But he is a very avant-garde intellectual. If this guy is placed in Europe, he must be a figure like Drake and Hawkins! There is a gluttony passion for ocean wealth! Therefore, he has achieved the ultimate in the introduction, digestion and even re-innovation of these new technologies.

Hu Zongxian encouraged the opening of a new school to train talents who specialize in manufacturing sea boats and artillery. And these new technologies are directly applied to official docks along the coast. With the cooperation of a competent teacher, the book demon, and Hu Zongxian, a capable official, the promotion of these new technologies is very fast!

Book demons and Aken are also often invited to the palace by the Ming emperor to tell overseas anecdotes. Naturally, the two instilled a lot of the development history of the modern Western powers into the emperor, which made the Ming emperor a little embarrassed and encouraged and supported the empire's marine cause. Even in the later period, when the book demon and Aken talked about it, the Ming emperor no longer let his harem concubine listen to relieve boredom together, but let some important courtiers listen and learn. Several times, the book demon even lectured directly in the court!

Therefore, the book demon was canonized as the university scholar and prince Taifu by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is listed as the three princes! He was also awarded the responsibility for supervising the restructuring of domestic schools and encouraging the development of more courses in addition to Chinese studies such as Four Books and Five Classics. Emperor Jiajing also issued an imperial edict, accepted talents, founded the 'Qiqiao Pavilion', encouraged ingenuity and skills, and developed science and technology.

The book demon was awarded the nickname 'Book Fairy' by the Ming Emperor! This identity also allows the book demon to view the full set of Yongle Canon and all the ancient books in the royal library. This is really a feast of knowledge for book demons.

Aken is a regular Maoshan Taoist priest, and this Jiajing emperor worships Taoism. Not only did he believe, but even his courtiers were asked to respect the Tao. This also gave Aken a good courtesy. He was actually sealed as a 'Dinghai real person'. In the scene, he had a Taoist system and could spread his branches and leaves.

Therefore, his advice was easily adopted by Emperor Jiajing. Even this time, the Jiajing emperor agreed to establish an ocean-going fleet, and it was Aken who secretly fooled the emperor. There may be immortal immortals in the new continent and America, which moved the Jiajing emperor. In addition to swearing sovereignty and colonization in the Americas, the fleet also has a more important task, which is to find overseas immortals.

In a way, China's colonial plan is a by-product of the Ming emperor's search for overseas immortality. This kind of deception is almost a lark for the emperor of China. Because since the First Emperor of Qin, there have been too many Chinese emperors who want to live forever and seek overseas immortals.

This time, Emperor Jiajing was recommended by a Maoshan Taoist priest in the new world who traveled thousands of miles away from the ocean. He didn't grab a life-saving straw! Moreover, Emperor Jiajing is now also a late year, and he yearns for a long life. Aken sympathized with his intention and used this method to achieve the purpose of influencing the development of Chinese history, which can be said to have penetrated the temper of the Chinese emperor.

The Ming government's creation of the 'Smart Pavilion' was very unexpected by book demons and Aken, because the old-fashioned pedan of the Chinese feudal empire was famous in history. This is also the reason why Western technology far exceeds that of China in later generations. This time, I don't know what the reason made the Ming emperor suddenly enlightened to develop scientific and technological power, instead of abandoning these strange ideas and blindly encouraging Sinology brainwashing education. This is probably related to the advice of Akan, a Maoshan Taoist priest who likes ingenious mechanics and alchemy.
