Borrow the day to change the day

After listening to Yan Yingyuan's detailed narration, everyone in the Wenhua Hall couldn't help but secretly lamented the cruelty of Xiyi.Fortunately, Daming was strong enough and did not let Xiyi come to harm Daming.

Thinking of this, many people in the hall couldn't help but look at Xing Guogong.When the western barbarians were in chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it was Duke Xing Guo who hurried back from the Liaodong battlefield to turn the tide.Otherwise, even if Xiyi was defeated by numbers, the people in the Jiangnan region would suffer greatly.

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall didn't speak for a while, and finally Zhong Jinwei played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Western barbarians are doing beastly things in North and South America, and they don't treat Indians as human beings. This just gave me a chance to be a Ming Dynasty." Now that King Tang has gained a foothold in North America, and the route has passed the test of the fleet, I suggest speeding up the feudal process of the feudal king in North America."

When Zhong Jinwei said this, everyone's thoughts were brought back to the present.Emperor Chongzhen nodded and expressed his opinion to the high-ranking Ming officials in the palace: "I really have this intention, what do you ministers think?"

"I also agree. The more I have in North America, the more powerful I will be. Only in this way can I expand my territory in North America." Chief Assistant Wen Tiren agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen and the two most influential courtiers had the same opinion, and the others naturally had no other opinions, and they all expressed their agreement.As long as the transport capacity is sufficient, as many feudal princes can be passed at one time, as many feudal princes can pass.

Among them, Zhong Jinwei also said another opinion: "Your Majesty, Spain must not be reconciled to the Americas being invaded by me. Even if the strength in America is not enough to compete with the army of our Daming King, they will definitely send messengers back to China for help. In the future, in the Americas There must be several battles, which is one of the reasons why I suggested speeding up the process of feudalism in North America."

When he said that, naturally no one would have any objections.In fact, it did not exceed Zhong Jinwei's expectations. Spain counterattacked with all its strength, but was not strong enough, so it compromised with other countries, and joined forces with Portugal, Britain, the Netherlands and other countries that had long coveted the Americas to resist the vassal of the Ming Dynasty.In the end, the two sides temporarily formed a stalemate in the Latin American region, and no one could completely drive the other party out of the Americas.

After Yan Yingyuan returned to Daming, the imperial court made full preparations for the next year's vassal king to vassalize North America.

Under the propaganda of newspapers and public opinion, North America was advertised as a paradise.There is enough land there, and there are enough resources for the people of Ming Dynasty to own.The feudal lords of all walks of life made jaw-dropping promises in an effort to attract the people of Ming Dynasty to North America.

In addition, the major shipyards in Ming Dynasty have been building sea-going ships for the past year, making the number of feudal lords who went to North America in the second year reach as many as four.It was really like 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 were still waiting to set sail in Tianjin Wei.

Previously, under the supervision of Zhong Jinwei, the research institute made every effort to promote various crops in various parts of Daming, and had a preliminary harvest.The food available to the people of the Ming Dynasty increased a lot, making up for the reduction in food production brought about by the Little Ice Age.

Zhong Jinwei also instructed the Agricultural Research Institute to carry out crossbreeding research on various crops cultivated in the Ming Dynasty with various crops tributed by the North American Indians, in an effort to breed high-yield and durable crops.

And the grain from Southeast Asia has been flowing into Daming continuously, as a powerful supplement to the crops grown by the people of Daming.

Even so, the food crisis in Ming Dynasty has not really passed.Because with the improvement of the living conditions of the people of Ming Dynasty and the popularization of health and epidemic prevention knowledge, the population of Ming Dynasty is also growing explosively.

While continuing to exchange arms for food, the imperial court began to build water conservancy projects across the country. Due to the sharp increase in steel production, the imperial court had enough capital to promote iron tools for agriculture.

With the gradual popularization of steam engines, the GDP of Daming also began to show explosive growth, all of which strongly supported the demand brought about by the population growth of Daming.

Zhong Jinwei, as a person from later generations, is in charge of the technological development of Ming Dynasty.As a result, Daming Technology has basically not gone astray, and has made rapid progress all the way, leading the world by far.

He also spared time to compose textbooks of various subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry in a reminiscence style, and then called people who are good at different subjects in Daming to discuss. Several sets of graded teaching materials have been promoted and used.

Therefore, although Zhong Jinwei no longer led the army to fight, nor did he hold any official position in the court.But his reputation is getting louder and wider.

Among the scholars of Ming Dynasty, more and more people considered themselves to be students of Duke Xingguo, and felt sincere admiration for Duke Xingguo's erudition.Even many people who don't believe in gods and Buddhas, after more and more people say that Xing Guogong is the gods and Buddhas descended from the sky, they will become suspicious.

In June of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, which took more than two years, was completed.Its strong transportation capacity made the officials of various provinces in frontiers write letters asking for the construction of railways in their provinces.

As time goes by, a new generation replaces the old.Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness in Chongzhen in 15 years. Before he died, he regretfully said to Zhong Jinwei who went to visit him: "Duke, I hate that I can't last a few more years, or I can be as old as you. In this way , and won’t just see the electroluminescence you mentioned!”

Zhong Jinwei had already produced electric lights at this time, but it was not the kind of later generations.This kind of electric lamp is still very primitive and very expensive to use.In the 15 years of Chongzhen, only a few palaces and cabinets in the palace used electric lights.

Before Zhong Jinwei could respond, Wen Tiren held onto Zhong Jinwei's hand tightly and continued: "Da Ming is able to have today, I can see it all, all of this is due to you!"

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren, who was exhausted and dying, and couldn't help but burst into tears, unable to speak for a long time.If it wasn't for Wen Tiren's support, he wouldn't have been able to transform Daming so smoothly.

After Wen Tiren finished speaking, he lay down on the bed and rested for a while.Looking up at the top of the bed, he said with a little satisfaction: "The steamship test is successful, and the deadlock between North America and Western Yi will soon be broken. The Jiaozhi Li family has submitted to the imperial court and asked for surrender. Southeast Asian countries are also under Ming's control. Among them, as long as I am willing, I can send the Southern Fleet to accept it at any time..."

Wen Tiren babbled about Daming's current achievements, and behind these achievements, there was a share of his credit.And Zhong Jinwei listened quietly, not wanting to disturb his talk.

In Zhong Jinwei's heart, there is another thing, which he vowed to develop in his lifetime.It is yellow gunpowder, commonly known as TNT.

A few years later, at Kings Royal High School in England, a teenager stood up and asked the teacher, "This Chinese is too difficult to learn. Can you not learn it?"

Upon hearing this, the teacher reprimanded: "If you want to be in line with international standards and go to Daming to learn more advanced knowledge, you must master this Chinese language! Isaac, do you understand?"

Isaac Newton sat down helplessly with a bitter face.

The teacher continued the class and said to his students: "Next, let's learn the meaning of each 'meaning' below. Those who understand it raise their hands."

When Dui gave the leader a red envelope, the conversation between the two was quite interesting.

Leader: "What do you mean?"

Dumb: "It's not interesting, it's interesting."

Leader: "You are not interesting enough."

Ah'Dai: "Small meaning, small meaning."

Leader: "You are really interesting."

Ah'Dai: "Actually, there is no other meaning."

Leader: "Then I'm embarrassed."

Dumb: "I'm sorry."
