Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 385 The Giant Dragon in the East

Facts have proved that His Majesty the Emperor thought too much.Although he has the advantages of a 21st century traveler, he does not take exams and studies too seriously, and China has never lacked hardworking scholars since ancient times.

When the rankings were released, Bai Mingxiu took a look. Not to mention the number one prize, he didn't even get the first prize. His result was No. 9 in Shuntianfu, and he managed to stay within the top 10. It wasn't too shameful.

"This shit is a step backwards. In my previous life, I took the college entrance examination. I got in the top ten of tens of thousands of candidates in the city. Now I am still in the top ten of 300 candidates. This is a bit..." Bai Mingxiu just laughed at himself for a moment, and soon Don't take this seriously.

The difference in scores among the top 10 is not big, and because the self-selected subjects are different, the comparability is actually not high.

Although he only got ninth in the exam as an emperor, the students who read the list and the people who eat melons still think that the emperor is very powerful.After all, the emperor is a 16-year-old boy with a lot of things to do every day. It is very difficult to be able to march and fight, govern the country and get a No. 9 in the exam.

When applying for the school, Bai Mingxiu filled in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Minghua University's Engineering College as planned. This news was also disclosed by Da Ming Daily, but the candidates who should fill in their volunteers also completed their forms on this day.

The admission rate for the first college entrance examination in Ming Dynasty was actually very high. After all, the number of applicants nationwide did not reach 5. Fortunately, there were few universities, otherwise it would not have been enough.The overall admission rate is 78%, which means that most candidates with a high school diploma can go to college.Bai Mingxiu does not want to directly block the channels for many capable students to go to college at this stage. When the number of candidates increases in the future, he will naturally adjust the admission rate to ensure that only students with better academic qualifications are admitted to the university and graduate at the same time. It also releases relatively outstanding talents.

Bai Mingxiu is still very optimistic about the future of Ming Dynasty. After all, there is almost no nation on the entire planet that can compare with the Chinese nation in terms of the emphasis on education and the effort of the nation.Although the students are now exposed to a brand-new knowledge system, from the current point of view, it is very easy for them to catch up and make progress as long as they learn.

What Bai Mingxiu really cares about is that Ming people who have mastered science and new knowledge will carry out more original innovations in the future, instead of simply copying these things brought out by Bai Mingxiu from the system.

The chaos of the Jiashen Incident also broke the Ming Dynasty’s traditional understanding of the world in a sense. The Nan Ming Dynasty relied on strong ships, artillery, trade and technology. This example opened the eyes of some people. The people of Ming Dynasty realized that in order to make the country prosperous for a long time, it was necessary to found the country, study scientific knowledge and popularize industrialization.

Daming still has a long way to go, and Bai Mingxiu understands this very well.Ming people don't have much cognition, they still hold the consciousness that they lead the world and are supremely noble.The advancement of Ming Dynasty is actually recognized by many countries and nations, and they are deeply impressed and shocked by the invincible Ming Dynasty.

The embassy area in the outer city of Shuntianfu is an area reserved in the urban planning for embassies of various countries. There are some common people living in this area, and now there are some foreign embassies in succession.

British diplomat Daniel Harvey worked hard to straighten his back so that he did not appear to be shorter than the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.He himself is considered to be of medium height among British people, and Europeans at this time were basically not as tall as Akito.

Harvey felt that his dress was already very gorgeous, but the other party's suit looked more decent, which made Harvey very envious.Since coming to this country, Harvey has become a little lemon essence.

What a huge, magnificent and rich country this is. He passed through many cities. Although the architecture looks nothing like European countries, the stretch of towns made him realize how huge and how many people this country is.He sailed on the sea in a boat for more than a week, and all the coastlines he passed were the land of this country, and there were people living there, and there was no uninhabited place.

Before he set off from England, British Prime Minister Edward Hyde once told him to collect intelligence about this eastern country, find out the truth, and create conditions for England's expansion in the east.If given the chance, the British Royal Navy could send a powerful fleet of ten ships and hundreds of warriors to the east to capture their most fertile cities.

Harvey, who knew nothing about Daming at the time, agreed, but when Harvey came to the East, Harvey wanted to spit on Hyde's face.

damn it!Compared with this huge and powerful country, England is a small flea!

When his ship arrived in Singapore, the local officials said to Harvey very proudly: "Mr. From the East China Sea to the Yellow Sea, this sea area is under the protection of Ming Dynasty, and all the people are subjects of His Majesty the Guangfu Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

At that time, Harvey didn't have a deep understanding of this sentence. When he finally came to Shuntian Mansion, Harvey was so surprised that he couldn't speak. This huge empire was even bigger than Europe!His homeland, England, has only a few million people, and almost any province and comfort department here is of this size. There are dozens of provinces and comfort departments like England in Ming Dynasty, with a population of [-] million.This is still the situation after the Ming Dynasty experienced a war that lost a large number of people. Now this once depressed country has ushered in a wise monarch, who has regained its rightful world, and the entire empire will once again enter A thriving and prosperous period.

Invade this country?Just the dumbest and worst joke in the world!
Harvey didn't need to work hard to collect any materials at all, and he could get a lot of information only from public channels.Even in Suncheon, he had the honor of visiting Daemyung's barracks.What he saw were thousands of uniformed, well-disciplined modern troops lined up in formation, equipped with rifles and artillery far superior to any European army.The Ming Dynasty warships training in the Bohai Bay are steam-powered and can reach a speed of more than ten knots. Their artillery fire on a fully-rigged European warship is like a tiger training a sheep.

There are 60 standing troops with advanced weapons and equipment that European countries cannot even understand.With a population of [-] million and a huge reserve force, even Harvey couldn't figure out the scale of industrial capabilities.After Harvey learned all this, he immediately wrote a letter.

"Never consider launching a war with this Eastern Empire. This is an invincible dragon. When he is busy with his own affairs, weak creatures can still survive by his side, but if the weak creatures touch His majesty, then destruction will be inevitable.”
