There are too many things to discuss recently, so Zhu Di, Zhu Biao, Tang He and other old ministers spend almost every day in the inner study. Naturally, there are many opportunities to encounter the Heavenly Scroll.

After the last Tianjuan was finished, Zhu Di drafted an edict according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions. After Zhu Yuanzhang confirmed it, he sent it to all prefectures and counties, especially coastal areas such as Jiangnan and Fujian. He asked them to find talented people who could build ships and prepare to build treasure ships.

At the same time, relying on some large ships left by the Mongols, Zhu Di ordered the craftsmen of the shipyard to repair them. Now it has been reported that seven or eight Fu ships and Sha ships have been repaired and put to sea for trial again.

In addition, Zhu Di also sent people to hint to the major wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan and the maritime merchants along the coast, asking them to list their specific opinions on lifting the maritime ban and the trading countries they frequently dealt with and submit them to the court.
He also promised that once his opinion was adopted, his children would have the opportunity to enter the new science and engineering college that was about to open in Daming.

Everything he did was naturally written in a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang's approval. As orders were issued one by one, the time to open the sea drew closer.
Tang He was also ready to go to Fujian immediately to train the navy personally.

It is conceivable that if the Ming Dynasty opens the sea, the Japanese pirates will definitely move. The Ming Navy will have to take the responsibility of protecting them. Even if they cannot destroy the Japanese pirates for the time being, they will never let the Japanese pirates take advantage.

Moreover, any army will never grow in a practical sense without actual combat. Now that Zhu Di has accepted the post of governor of the International Trade Department, he has decided on the first battle strategy of using commerce to support the army.
In addition to the Ming Dynasty's caravans, Ming Dynasty merchants who wanted to go out to sea for business could also seek protection from the court.

Of course, since they are the imperial guards, they naturally have to bear certain expenses.

If nothing happened during the escort period, it would be fine, as it would allow the soldiers to get familiar with life at sea and practice formations. But if they encountered pirates or Japanese pirates, they were not afraid, as they could just treat it as a training exercise for the navy.
Therefore, unless there were Japanese pirates or pirates coming in full force, otherwise, basically any small force could be easily defeated by the Ming navy with overwhelming numbers and weapons.

In this way, the money earned from maritime trade and escort can not only support the navy, but also the cavalry, supporting the army to completely drive the Mongols out of China.

After the navy has been trained for a period of time, when the time is right, three years, five years, or ten years... by that time, the Mongols should have been wiped out. The Ming Dynasty can then try to destroy the Japanese pirates and eradicate the threat of Japanese pirates that may occur in the future.
And this is just the second step.

The third step is to immediately build the treasure ship mentioned in the Heavenly Scroll after the country has spare capacity, and order people to go overseas to find the so-called America, find those high-yield crops, and benefit the people.
Zhu Di carried out this third step ten years later.

Zhu Di wrote down these strategies in detail over several days and nights based on the records in the heavenly scroll by the clerks, and then presented them to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed up all night and summoned his old ministers to discuss this plan. The conclusion they reached was that it was completely feasible.

In this strategy, the most uncertain thing is whether sea trade can make money. As long as it can make money, this strategy can be fully realized.

Before this, Zhu Yuanzhang had never thought about sea trade because he thought it was not profitable at all. It was not until the Heavenly Scroll appeared and told them that sea trade was 100% profitable that they made up their minds to open the sea.
Moreover, as long as you have money, many things will be easy to handle.

Although this is just a simple plan, if you want to implement it, you will certainly face many difficulties and changes. But think about it, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion was just a snap decision, and in the end, it was successful.
As long as he takes the right approach, he doesn't believe he won't succeed.

Hearing his father's question, Zhu Di immediately replied: "In three days, I will lead the officials of the Ministry of International Trade to Fujian to take up my post. After preparing for the relevant matters of opening the Ministry and investigating the people's sentiments, the Ming Dynasty will be able to open the sea in one month at the earliest and three months at the latest."
"Very good!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, looking at his son who had once been the most restless, feeling very relieved.

Even though the heavenly scroll said that his son would usurp his nephew's throne, didn't it all happen?

Besides, even if he usurped the throne, so what? Just as his daughter said last time, his daughter didn't care, so why should he worry? Anyway, it was his Zhu family's world, so what was wrong with him becoming the emperor based on his ability?

And now, he has decided to move the fourth brother's fiefdom from the north to the south, and to change him from "General of the Northern Expedition" to "General of the Pacification of the Sea". He has done his best.
As for the rest of the matters, his children and grandchildren will have their own blessings and he can’t interfere much.

At this moment, Tianjuan sighed:
[In one's life, one must always strive for something for oneself, and the emperor is no exception.]
[If Song Renzong is in the up master's live broadcast room at this moment, the up master would like to ask you a question: Do you think that just being "benevolent" is enough for you? ]

[Mingming, you and Dasong can be even better! ]

Obviously, his Song Dynasty could be even better!
Song Renzong was struck by lightning and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing Song Renzong staring at the scroll in a daze without saying a word, Prime Minister Zhang became a little worried.
Song Renzong came back to his senses and looked at Prime Minister Zhang: "Prime Minister, can our Song Dynasty really be better?"

"Sir, of course, of course we can. Aren't we already changing it now?" Zhang Dexiang said hurriedly.

But Song Renzong shook his head and said, "Do you know why I want to promote the new policy?"
"The government naturally wants to revitalize our Song Dynasty."

Song Renzong shook his head: "Yes and no."
Zhang Dexiang looked puzzled.

"Go, find that Wang Anshi. I remember he was the one who passed the imperial examination two years ago. He should not be an official in Bianjing now!"

Wang Anshi?
Zhang Dexiang took a deep breath.

Is he the Wang Anshi who carried out reforms in later generations?
It is said that two years ago, this kid was demoted from the top scorer to the fourth place by the government because of a sentence "Ruzi his friend" on his test paper?
"The reason why I want to implement the new policy is because I know that Wang Anshi in later generations will make more drastic changes to the laws. The current new policy can only be regarded as an improvement. It does not change the laws of our ancestors much!"

"so……"
Song Renzong sighed deeply: "So, in the final analysis, I still don't want to make major changes to the laws left by my ancestors. I just thought that if I can change it earlier, I may not have to make major changes in the future."

only……

But Tian Juan's words were like thunder in his ears.
He can do his own thing first, but if he can do more, why not do it?

Since he wanted to be Yugong and set an example for future generations, why didn't he just become the two gods who moved the mountain?
Just as Tianjuan said, both he and his Song Dynasty could obviously be better!
After him, Wang Anshi's reform may have failed, but it might not fail with him.
Since you are going to change it, change it thoroughly!
[Okay everyone, this is the end of our review of "The Top Ten Young Emperors Who Are Too Soft-Hearted - Song Renzong (Part 2)". The Song Dynasty is actually a dynasty that the upmaster doesn't want to touch on. Because this dynasty is really too weak. So weak that it makes people angry! ]

[However, Song Renzong did have some commendable qualities, but it also made people feel very disappointed and made later generations sigh. ]

[Okay, Your Majesties. Now we are going to enter the much-anticipated message-taking stage.]

[However, before that, we still have one thing to do. Yes, the lucky draw for the fans who left messages last time has not yet taken place. ]

[Because our message answering stage is divided into two parts, our live broadcast steps will also change. From now on, our lucky draw will be at the end of each inventory, before the message. 】
[Okay, enough chit-chat, our lucky draw begins now. ]

As soon as Lei Xiaomeng finished speaking, the ID numbers of the ten fans who left messages last time started rolling in the scroll. After rolling for a long time, it finally stopped.
This time, all the emperors were surprised to see the ID that was drawn, even Lei Xiaomeng was the same. Because the ID that was drawn this time was @子控凶残老父.

After winning 100 points last time, @子控凶残老父 was drawn again, and for the second time in a row.

Such luck!
Zhu Yuanzhang was really speechless.

You know, since last time, the prize for the lucky draw has become 100 points, which is not bad, but what he wants more is the qualification of Wei user!
At this moment, Lei Xiaomeng in the Heavenly Scroll changed the subject:
[Congratulations to @子控凶残老父 for winning the prize again. However, our lottery mechanism has also changed this time. Our prize is no longer a single one, but one of three. ]

Choose one of three?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart again.

If so, then there must be rewards for Wei users. So, can he finally become a Wei user?

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he almost shouted out the word "Wei User".
But then, he felt a little disappointed.

[The three prizes are V user qualification, 100 points and 200 points. The up master will bring up the turntable again in a while. The drawee can click to start the draw, click to stop the draw, or wait for seconds for the turntable to stop automatically. ]
【Then, the drawer takes the prize that the wheel stops on.】

Still need to choose one of the three?
For some reason, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uneasy.

He has been lucky these few times, so he should be able to draw a Wei user!
Wait...what if all my luck has run out these few times?
Just as he was struggling, the lucky draw wheel appeared again in the Heavenly Scroll, but this time, there were only three items.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang said "start", and the turntable began to spin. After about ten seconds, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said "stop".

As the turntable slowly stopped and the prize was finally fixed, Lao Zhu's heart, which was originally full of hope, fell to the bottom again.
Because what finally remains on the heavenly scroll is still “100 points”.

Yes, Lao Zhu has learned it by himself and memorized the Arabic numeral “100” and knows that it means “one hundred”!
"Snapped!"

So Old Zhu smashed countless teacups and said angrily, "The Heavenly Scroll has been playing tricks on me like this. I will never indulge it again!"

The ministers and princes in the study all lowered their heads. Even Zhu Di, who had just been full of vigor and vitality, lowered his head and looked at his toes, pretending that he had not heard, seen, or existed.
Well, they just listen to it and then pretend they never heard it.

There is no need to speak any golden words at this moment. As long as the Heavenly Scroll appears again, the old man will have to bear this anger in the future!

[Okay, congratulations to @子控凶残老父 for getting 100 points. @子控凶残老父 has had good luck these two times. I hope it keeps up!] Zhu Yuanzhang: ...You mean really lucky? Wow!

[Then let's begin the message reply phase. Your Majesties, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them! ]

As soon as she finished speaking, a reminder sounded, and she immediately followed the rules set before and opened the first five messages. The first one was from "Li Erlang".

[V@鞠躬尽瘁李二郎: Where was Wu Zetian from, when was she born, when did she become my concubine, and when did she become the empress of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, please tell me. ]

Oh, this is asking about Emperor Wu's life. And if this person is role-playing Li Shimin. Listening to his murderous tone, Emperor Wu is in danger.

But answering every question is the tradition of her live broadcast room, so she quickly replied according to the information she found.

At the same time, in another dimension, Wu Zetian looked at the Heavenly Scroll with a hint of coldness on her lips... From the tone of her voice, it seemed that His Majesty Taizong was going to cause trouble for him at that time.

Thinking about her lonely days in the palace and the hard life after entering the nunnery, Wu Zetian herself was also very curious. She had escaped death more than once in the first half of her life. If Taizong really made trouble for her, how would she deal with it at that time?

[Reply 1@鞠躬尽瘁李二郎 Wu Zetian was from Shanxi. Her original name is unknown. After she became emperor, she was named Wu Zhao. Later generations called her Wu Zetian. She was the second daughter of Wu Shihuo, the governor of Jingzhou. ]

Emperor Taizong frowned: "Wu Shigui's second daughter? I remember. After entering the palace, she was made a talented person? She has been in the palace for many years!"
"Someone, summon Wu Cairen to the throne immediately!"

[Reply 2: Wu Zetian was the founding monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, the only empress of a unified dynasty in Chinese history. She was also a famous female politician.]

[Reply 3: When she was fourteen years old, Wu Zetian entered the harem and became a concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang. She was given the title "Wu Mei" by Emperor Taizong. Twelve years after she entered the palace, Emperor Taizong of Tang passed away and she was sent to Ganye Temple to become a nun.]

[Reply 4: After Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he brought her back to the palace and first named her Zhaoyi and then made her Empress. Later, Wu Zetian was given the title of Empress of Heaven and was called the Second Saint together with Emperor Gaozong.]

It turns out to be Wu Cairen!

Emperor Taizong of Tang's face darkened: "Wu Shigui is so brave, Wu Cairen is so brave!"

There was a murderous look on Emperor Taizong's face... He must get rid of this disaster for Cheng Qian.

[Reply 5: After Emperor Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian took power as the Empress Dowager, later changed the country's name to Zhou, established the Wu Zhou regime, proclaimed herself "Holy and Divine Emperor", and established Luoyang as the capital.]

[Reply 6: The Wu Zhou Dynasty founded by Wu Zetian, which was the successor to Emperor Taizong of Tang’s Zhenguan Reign, experienced Emperor Gaozong of Tang’s Yonghui Reign, and preceded Emperor Xuanzong of Tang’s Kaiyuan Reign, laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty to reach its peak.]

A continuation of the Zhenguan Reign? A precursor to the Kaiyuan Prosperity?
In other words, this woman has a lot of experience in governing a country. And in the end, the country returned to the hands of his Li family?

Emperor Taizong of Tang had a vague impression of this woman, he only remembered that she had a pair of extremely bright eyes.

At this moment, someone announced, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin is here."

Prince Jin is coming at this time?
Glancing at the scroll, Emperor Taizong said, "Let him in!"

After answering the first message, Lei Xiaomeng began to answer the second one.

[V@Super IQ, serious chuunibyou patient: I found the imported silver syringe from the West in the warehouse according to the picture you gave me. Are there any needles? Can I do a skin test and inject penicillin? In addition, the ship's log has not been found yet, please point it out! ]

Lei Xiaomeng saw this question and couldn't help but secretly admire the actor's professionalism. After all, in the Zhengde era, syringes had already been invented, and even if they were crude, they were better than nothing. So she pretended to be surprised and replied:

[Reply 1@Super IQ, Severe Chuunibyou Patient Your Majesty actually found the syringe, you are so lucky. But one thing is, pay attention to disinfection when using it, and the needle of the syringe cannot be used on two people consecutively. ]

[Reply 2: Before using, please boil the needle in boiling water for a stick of incense to sterilize it. Otherwise, the disease of the first person will be transmitted to the next person, resulting in cross infection.]

Looking at the small hollow needle on the syringe, Zhu Houzhao guessed that this should be the needle that the old lady mentioned. He also found a lot of these small needles in the warehouse, at least hundreds of them. They can be loaded and unloaded from the syringe at will.

It turns out that this thing needs to be cooked before it can be used.

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and muttered, "Fortunately I asked."

[Reply 3: You can use a needle to open the skin at the wrist, inject a small dose of penicillin under the skin, and then wait for a cup of tea. If there is no severe redness, swelling, or acne on the skin, it is safe to use.]

Open the skin and inject a small dose of penicillin into your majesty?
Zhu Houzhao tried the needle of the syringe on his wrist, which frightened the other old ministers present.

Today, Zhu Houzhao called these old ministers over, mainly to ask them about the preparations for the science and engineering examinations and the establishment of the Polytechnic Institute.
By the way, the Ministry of Industry also asked the candidates to submit the drawings of bicycle designs. Who would have thought that the heavenly scroll would be opened at this time?

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. When the Heavenly Scroll was first sent out, he had people draw the relevant bicycle drawings and sea charts. He even asked the painters to complete the pictures and drawings sent out by the Heavenly Scroll several times before.

However, even if they could use the entire time when the heavenly scroll appeared to draw it, because he wanted too many drawings and they were too detailed, the calligraphers and painters still raced against time and did not dare to delay for a moment.

Even he himself drew the pattern of the steam car in detail according to the animated picture during this period, so that he did not have the opportunity to post too many comments during the broadcast of the heavenly scroll.

But after drawing the blueprint, he realized that the technology of later generations was really sophisticated, especially the blueprint of the "bicycle", in which there was actually a thin iron chain at the small wheel in the lower middle.
To be precise, it is something that looks like an iron chain but doesn't look like an iron chain. It seems to be supporting in the middle.

Looking more closely, the way the chains are connected seems to be different from now, as if there is some mechanism.

He originally wanted to ask in detail, but changed his mind and did not ask this question in the question he had just asked. Instead, he decided to ask in detail when he got a reply, which was equivalent to asking one more question.

Wei users can reply to Apozhu's reply, and he has figured out this rule. However, judging from the reply to the message at the beginning, if Apozhu puts his question in the heavenly scroll and waits for the next time to answer it, he generally cannot reply.

So he has to figure out how to ask questions and answer them so that he can ask more questions and get more answers.

[Reply 4: After the skin test is passed, Your Majesty can inject the drug into the body through intravenous or intramuscular injection for treatment. Intravenous injection is mainly infusion, and intramuscular injection is mainly injected through a syringe. ]

Intravenous injection? Intramuscular injection?
What are veins? What are muscles?
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly took out several medical books imported from the West from the desk, but he did not get the answers he wanted.
So he decided to wait a while before replying and then add one more question.

Lei Xiaomeng had no idea that Zhu Houzhao had remembered his answer, so he continued to answer his question:
[Reply 5 continued: As for the ship log and treasure ship blueprints, I heard that they were in the home of a family surnamed Shen in Jiangnan. The ancestors of this family surnamed Shen had traveled overseas with Zheng He. They had seen a lot of the world and saved a lot of wealth.]

【Reply 6 continued But because of the ban on sea travel, his son did not inherit his legacy. Instead, his grandson was obsessed with shipbuilding and sailing. He spent the whole day studying the blueprints of the treasure ship, just waiting for the day when he could go to sea again.】

[Reply 7: It's a pity that throughout his life, he never made it beyond the Ming Dynasty. In the end, he could only build a model of a treasure ship before passing away.]

Already dead? What a pity!

Zhu Houzhao shook his head secretly... However, even if the person is dead, the things should still be there. Then he will have to look for the family surnamed Shen and his descendants. However, it would be even better if he knew the name of this person.

So he quickly replied to Lei Xiaomeng's answer: Is there a detailed drawing of the chain in the middle of the bicycle? What is the name of the Shen family who built the treasure ship model, and where do they live? Where are the veins and muscles located? In the human body? Is it written in Western medical books?
Zhu Houzhao left a lot of replies with questions, but Lei Xiaomeng didn’t see them for the time being, so she clicked on the next message.

[V@The Emperor of the Unified World, Long Live the Dragon: Why do my cannons always explode? Is there a solution? ]

This question stumped Lei Xiaomeng. How did she know how to solve the problem of artillery barrel explosion? She is a liberal arts student, okay?

Why are the questions from fans getting more specific and tricky? It's like they are really in the era of the characters they play. They are really the emperor that their ID names refer to!
