Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 391 Indy Raiders
The reason why Zhang Qingfeng let Zhu Youxiao get in touch with some science was mainly to cultivate his attitude towards science, so that he would not be easily deceived by some people after he became emperor.

In history, although Zhu Youxiao fell into the water and fell ill, if he had a certain understanding of science, he would not easily believe that Shangshu Huo Weihua offered a "fairy medicine" called Lingluyin, and died unexpectedly.

His father's Hongwan case didn't wake him up, which also made Zhang Qingfeng very speechless.

After all, their understanding of the world is still too shallow.

If Zhu Houzhao knew about chemistry, he would be able to analyze that spirit dew drink in a chemical way, and let him know what kind of harmful thing it is.

"Palmprint, Mr. Matteo Ricci has passed away."

A subordinate came to report to Zhang Qingfeng.

"Hey! Let's go." Hearing the report from his subordinates, Zhang Qingfeng sighed.

The historical Matteo Ricci died in 1610, but in this time and space, after getting acquainted with Zhang Qingfeng, he also did not escape the end of illness and died, but lived one year longer than in history.

"Go, go and have a look." Zhang Qingfeng said to his subordinates.

Later, after Zhang Qingfeng arranged for Wang Feng to entertain Zhu Youxiao well, he went directly to Matteo Ricci's residence.

Matteo Ricci had been ill for several months. Although he was diagnosed and treated by imperial doctors, even Zhang Qingfeng had no way to do anything because he was terminally ill.

"Zhen Dongbo, my master is gone."

After Zhang Qingfeng came to Matteo Ricci's residence, he saw a tired Xu Guangqi.

"Hey! My condolences!" Zhang Qingfeng nodded, but didn't say too many words of comfort.

The death of Matteo Ricci caused a moderate commotion in the capital.

First of all, Matteo Ricci was the first European to come to the capital of Ming Dynasty, and many people have heard of his name.

In addition, Matteo Ricci was the head of the Department of Foreign History and the Department of World Geography at Daming University of Technology. He had tens of thousands of students. After his death, the University of Technology held a grand mourning ceremony for him.

Finally, Emperor Wanli also gifted Matteo Ricci to be buried in the Tenggong fence in Erligou outside Pingzemen, making him the first Western missionary to be buried in the capital.

The death of Matteo Ricci only caused a small disturbance in the capital, and soon calmed down.

Next, apart from giving Zhu Youxiao occasional lessons, Zhang Qingfeng was mainly busy with his own work.

Now, Zhang Qingfeng is in charge of many things. He not only wants to develop industry, manufacturing, textile industry, education, banking, shipbuilding, training of nautical personnel and so on.

Fortunately, in order to reduce his workload, he promoted and trained countless talents, and he handed over many things to them. He only needs to take care of the overall situation.

Because the stalls are too large, in order to prevent corruption, Zhang Qingfeng conducts a self-inspection almost every year, and finds out many people who are corrupt and inaction.

For such people, Zhang Qingfeng's methods are very strict, and those who do not act will be directly dismissed.

Corrupt people will be sentenced to death in light cases and in severe cases.

For this reason, he also specially trained a large number of inspectors. For the time being, these people only picketed the many industries under him. Once Zhang Qingfeng took control of the power of the entire Ming Dynasty, the pickets would probably consist of civil and military officials.

In December 1611 AD, the imperial court finally decided on the selection and appointment of officials sent to Japan to hold official positions.

Under Zhang Qingfeng's suggestion, the Ministry of Officials sent a large number of young and strong officials.

The reason why young people were sent was because Zhang Qingfeng said that older people would easily get sick during the long voyage to Japan.

The reason why Zhang Qingfeng suggested that the court send young officials was mainly because young officials were not affected by the corruption in Ming Dynasty officialdom.

In this way, when they arrived in Japan, they could easily be led on the right path by Zhang Qingfeng's people.

Moreover, officials from some family backgrounds are unwilling to go to Japan, and those who can go to Japan are officials from poor families.

As an official from a poor family, before being infected by the officialdom, they are more willing to display their ambitions.

The rule of Japan will be a long-term task, so Zhang Qingfeng can only continue to adjust and plan.

Just after the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty sailed to Japan, two months later, daimyo from various places in Japan and the family children sent by the big families to study in the Ming Dynasty also came to the Ming Dynasty.

There are as many as 300 Japanese young people who came to Daming to study this time.

Of course, this is only the first batch, and every year after that, more Japanese young people will come to Daming to study.

Zhang Qingfeng suggested to Emperor Wanli that these students should first study at Daming University of Technology for a few years, and then send them to Guozijian and Taixue to study after they have mastered the Chinese characters and language of Daming.

After hearing Zhang Qingfeng's suggestion, Emperor Wanli agreed.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to include Japan in its territory, it must give scholars in Japan the opportunity to serve as officials.

After that, these Japanese young people will study in Daming, then take the imperial examination, and finally be appointed to serve as officials in various places in Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations were divided into the southern list and the northern list. The main reason was that there were not as many scholars in the north as there were in the south. If the selection of scholars was unified, the scholars in the south would definitely account for more than [-] to [-] percent. This is not a good thing for the whole country. .

This is also the reason why later generations cannot take the national unified examination for the college entrance examination, because some coastal provinces have much better educational resources than inland provinces. If there is a unified examination, some famous universities will all be students with coastal identities, and the national education will be messed up. It will cause serious regional discrimination and internal conflicts, and even split thoughts in the worst case.

If Ming Dynasty wanted to bring Japan into its territory, it must consider continuing a certain quota of officials for scholars in the Japanese region in the future, otherwise it would never be possible for him to return his heart.

The time enters 1612 AD.

In March, the entire family of the Japanese king came to the capital of Ming Dynasty by boat.

Emperor Wanli ordered that the Japanese king be given the best treatment, not only a luxurious mansion, but also a million taels of silver as a family property.

The king of Japan, as long as he doesn't kill himself in the future, he will be able to get a good death.

Compared with the king of Japan, the king of Ryukyu was much more miserable. After Chen Guangping defeated Japan, the king of Ryukyu was executed in secret and had no chance to show his face.

In April 1612, Zhang Qingfeng launched an industrial promotion plan.

He invited wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the Ming Dynasty and held an industrial promotion meeting in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

He planned to announce various machine-making technologies, including steam engines.

As long as someone is willing to invest in the steam engine factory, Zhang Qingfeng can send someone to help build the steam engine factory.

If someone wants to invest in a machine manufacturing factory, Zhang Qingfeng is also willing to help build the machine factory.

There are also many factories. As long as foreign businessmen are willing to invest, Zhang Qingfeng can help build factories and ensure that the factories can produce products smoothly.

Zhang Qingfeng wants all parts of Daming to enter into industrialized production like the capital.

If all the factories in the country were invested by Zhang Qingfeng alone, even if it took decades or 100 years, there would be no way to develop the industrialization of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Only by involving most of the businessmen and landlords in the Ming Dynasty can the industries of the Ming Dynasty blossom everywhere in the country.

As long as Daming enters the industrial age, the mass production of goods will generate fierce competition, and cheap goods and unsalable goods will make many people spontaneously push Daming to find more markets overseas.

At that time, Ming can only be forced to take the road of grabbing colonies with Europe.

Therefore, after eliminating Japan, Zhang Qingfeng's next goal is to be known as the crown jewel of the Queen of England, the Indian Peninsula.
