The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

As the scroll displays the national treasures looted by Westerners one by one, the simple descriptions behind these national treasures also mark their unearthed years, as well as the countries and collection locations where they were located after being looted.

The more they looked, the more depressed the three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong felt, because they saw many national treasures with labels such as "lost", "missing", "destroyed by fire" and so on.
In other words, these national treasures may no longer exist in this world.

Then the scene changed, the pictures disappeared, and the voice of the A-Po-Zhu sounded again in the Heavenly Scroll:
[Even though our Chinese nation has passed the most painful days, we cannot forget the national humiliation. We all sincerely hope that such a thing will never happen again! ]

【We should never forget the past, and learn from it. We will always remember these humiliations, and let this painful history be passed down from generation to generation.】

[We also hope that our descendants will learn from history and never fall into the precarious days of the late Qing Dynasty when the entire country was slaughtered and bullied by Western powers.]

[However, no matter what, we hope that China has never fallen into that dark period of history.]

As the national treasures were displayed one by one in the heavenly scroll, the emperors in the Imperial Garden also became active.

【@子控凶残老父: Chongzhen, right? You should have had a sea chart to the West at that time, right? Send it to me now, your ancestor. I will do everything I can to educate these Westerners first.】

【@群臣错我一棵松: My dear ancestor, yes, there is one, but I cannot send it to you. This sea chart is very complicated, and it is not easy to draw it just by oral description. 】

【@子控凶残老父: I am so angry, I am so angry. I thought the Mongols were already hated enough by the heavens and the people, but I didn’t expect the Qing Dynasty to be even more cowardly. It is so cowardly! 】

Seeing the ancestor in the heavenly scroll looking furious, Zhu Houzhao curled his lips.

He had thought of this method a long time ago, but as Chongzhen said, although text could be displayed in the Emperor's Garden, they had no idea how to send pictures such as sea charts to the Heavenly Scroll.
Otherwise, he would have asked his great-grandfather for it long ago. Why would he go through so much trouble to ask people to look for it among the people?

Fortunately, his efforts paid off. He had found the sea charts and the blueprints of the treasure ship. He had people start construction, and it would not be long before the treasure ship could go to sea again.

A few days ago, the second version of the bicycle was built. He even rode it. Although he wanted to fall at the beginning, he quickly mastered the balance and skills. It was really fun.

Although this bicycle is not as heroic as riding a horse, it is much faster than a sedan chair to travel in the Forbidden City. Moreover, according to the craftsmen, they created many new techniques in the process of making the bicycle.

For example, the so-called bearings on the blueprints, and the chains that were being made thinner and thinner. Another thing was the rubber mentioned in the blueprints. They had never even heard of this thing before, but now that they knew of its existence, they were sending people everywhere to look for it.

It was at this time that Zhu Houzhao finally understood why his grandmother asked him to build a bicycle first. A small bicycle actually has hundreds of parts. I really don't know how people in later generations thought of assembling these parts together. It is simply ingenious.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao now yearns for the steam locomotive more and more, and becomes more and more confident in building it.

Compared with the unrestrained Zhu Houzhao, the Yongle Emperor, his biological son, was relatively filial. Seeing his father angry, he immediately consoled him:
【@Anxious old uncle: Father, calm down. Next time Sanbao goes out to sea, I will make sure he finds America. And that Europa, it is said that it can be reached by land, I will also find a way to find them to show the power of our Ming Dynasty. 】

【@子控凶残老父: Good children. But I can't rely on you alone. I will let the fourth child start the training of the navy. No matter how difficult it is, I will never let the sea power fall into the hands of those bandit countries with wolfish ambitions. 】

【@Anxious old uncle: Fourth brother...Father Emperor, are you talking about...son emperor?】
【@子控凶残老父: It's not you, it has nothing to do with you. Just go to the West and build a bigger and stronger treasure ship. Have you seen those iron shells in later generations? Just build them like that.】

【@Anxious old uncle: ...Yes, Father! 】

After a brief pause, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a few messages again in the Imperial Garden.

【@子控凶残老父: Descendants of the Ming Dynasty in this garden, listen up! No matter what the ancestral precepts of our Ming Dynasty were in your time, from today on, the ancestral precepts of our Ming Dynasty have changed. 】

【@子控凶残老父: From today on, in addition to expelling the Tartars, the ancestral precepts of our Ming Dynasty have one more thing - expand our Ming Dynasty's sea areas and stop the bandits from overseas. 】

[@子控凶残老父: In my Ming Dynasty, the princes and grandchildren must not only guard the Nine Fortresses for my Ming Dynasty, but also expand the sea for my Ming Dynasty. I promise that as long as the princes of my Ming Dynasty can expand the sea territory of my Ming Dynasty, they can all split the land and become kings! ]

Zhu Yuanzhang racked his brains to figure out how to make his descendants enjoy royal treatment, because no matter how he treated his children and grandchildren, there would always be a time when there would not be enough land to go around after they passed it down from generation to generation.

Now, he knew that there were vast seas and territories overseas. And hundreds of years later, these barbarians that he had originally ignored could even invade Chinese land.
Why not take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty was far more powerful than overseas and take all the land and sea into their pockets? Since there would not be enough land in China for the descendants of the Zhu family to share in the future, wouldn't there be enough land overseas for the descendants of the Zhu family to share?

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang had a good plan.

The emperors before him were nothing, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang was their descendant. Even if they had the same idea as Zhu Yuanzhang, many dynasties were unable to achieve it.
When Li Shimin heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words and watched the people queuing behind him saying "Yes, sir" after Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, he suddenly felt as if something had suddenly dawned on him.

Although the maritime trade of the Tang Dynasty is not particularly developed, it is almost impossible to go to the West and find the so-called America. And now the countries that trade with the Tang Dynasty are almost all Persia, Dashi and other countries.
But according to the merchants who came and went, if they went further west, they would reach Europe, which should be the Western countries that invaded China in later generations. He could send envoys to continue to look west, and perhaps he would get something different.

As for maritime trade, he could also prepare in advance to see if he could build a large ship similar to the treasure ships of later generations. In addition, objects such as the compass and the compass during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song could also be built in advance.

Thinking of this, he also left a message in the Imperial Garden:
[V@鞠躬尽瘁李二郎: May I ask you and the old lady, can you teach me a little about the manufacturing methods of the compass and the compass? 】

[@爱换马甲的抗狼兄: Your Excellency Taizong, I have the relevant production method. I will have someone bring the book recording the relevant techniques and read it to you. Please have someone write it down and see if it can be reproduced using this method.]

【V@鞠躬尽瘁李二郎: Thank you for your support! 】

Hearing the words "Kanglang", Renzong's mouth twitched, and he thought... Thank you, but don't say these two words, it's too ugly. But until now, he didn't know why he was called this name in the Heavenly Scroll.

However, although he was depressed, he hurriedly asked someone to find the relevant books and sent them to Li Shimin separately without mentioning anything.

As the display of the lost national treasure in the heavenly scroll ended, Lei Xiaomeng's voice rang out again:
[But expectations are just expectations. No matter how great an emperor is, he will only maintain his rule to the maximum extent possible. Once something new threatens his rule, even if it is only a little bit, he will never let it continue to exist. Just like Emperor Kangxi.]

[Do you think he didn't see the role of technological development in promoting society? No, how could he not notice it. But what impact did the development of technology have on his rule in the end? The people became smarter and naturally not so easy to fool. ]

[Or, in other words, he didn't care what benefits the development of science and technology would bring to the people. Because it was far less effective than a war against Galdan in stabilizing their regime.]

The three emperors of the Qing Dynasty fell silent when Tianjuan counted these lost cultural relics, and now they didn't know what to say.
More importantly, they were all in self-reflection or shock.

Kangxi: I have never thought of popularizing Western mathematics, astronomy and geography in the Qing Dynasty. Even in the imperial examinations, they were about statecraft, not science and engineering. I hope Nan Huairen can live up to my expectations and make the science and engineering disciplines of the Qing Dynasty flourish.

Yongzheng: I have worked so hard, I will never let the Westerners rob me in the end. No, I have to find a way to deal with these Westerners. Even if the effect is minimal, I can't let them be so rampant in the future.

Qianlong: What flashed by just now seemed to be the golden hilt that I had just placed in the Old Summer Palace a while ago. This is from the Western Zhou Dynasty and is nearly three thousand years old. It was looted and lost by Westerners. This is intolerable!

At this moment, Qianlong saw an icon flashing in the lower right corner of the scroll. He opened it and found that it was his royal grandfather who sent him a private message.

【@All science masters live another 500 years: Hongli, what do you think? 】

Qianlong's expression became serious...his royal grandfather was testing him.

He was thinking about how to answer, but he heard Lei Xiaomeng's voice in the Heavenly Scroll sigh and then slowly said:

[This is true for Kangxi, the greatest emperor in history. Are other emperors also like this? 】

Lei Xiaomeng's words immediately made the emperors turn their attention back to the Heavenly Scroll.
