My Daming New Empire

Of course, the observation group of civil servants is also indispensable. This observation group began to follow the fleet on Zheng He's second voyage to the West in the fifth year of Yongle, and now it is getting bigger and bigger.

In the fifth year of Yongle, after returning from the first voyage to the Western Ocean, Zheng He's fleet quickly prepared for the second voyage to send the envoys of nineteen countries home.

At that time, it happened that Qiu Wei was on the list, and Zhu Zhanji, who was only ten years old, asked in a naive tone, why not send these civil servants who were admitted to Juren overseas to learn about Nanyang countries?

Juren is not yet a Jinshi, and strictly speaking, he is not an official, but he already has the qualifications to be an official.

Today's Ming Dynasty has just established, and officials are not yet flooded.However, after changing three emperors in a row, Enke has increased several times, and the number of candidates has also increased, and more officials are seeking officials.

At that time, Zhu Di was also worried about how to arrange these people, so he immediately issued an edict that those who were willing to patrol Nanyang with the fleet and who could write policies that satisfied him could be given priority.

The title of the gold list is once every three years, with hundreds of people at a time. For the literati of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops, and the official position is a drop in the bucket.

Most of the candidates are stuck in the last hurdle, wasting years.Now there is no need to take the Jinshi exam, you can directly confer an official position, which immediately attracted countless people to sign up.

Only 500 people were selected for the first time, and more than 200 people were awarded the ninth rank after returning.The second time, 1000 people were selected. Although 200 people were still appointed, the proportion was still very high.

During the third voyage, the number of people exceeded 500.This time, in addition to the 200 people selected by the local assistant officials, more than 200 people were also arranged when the bank was established.

Going to sea again this time, the number of people will not be less than 500.

Calculated in this way, even if the total number of people going to sea this time is less than [-], it is almost the same.

Thank you for what you want and what you have, Shangguansha, run with the pigs, see people with lights, I spit you, Shan Qingying for the reward, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"What? Are you going to sail to the west too?" Zhu Zhanji stared at Zhonghezi in front of him with wide eyes, shaking his head like a rattle. "This is absolutely impossible. Daoist Master, you are already 73, and you have been away for more than a year. What should you do if there are three problems?"

Zhonghezi still looked like a calm and breezy expert, stroked his beard and smiled: "Pindao knows his body well, although Pindao is not like His Royal Highness Taisun who has trained his body to refine Qi. In the realm of God, it can also refine and transform qi, prolong life, cure diseases and prevent diseases. Therefore, Your Highness, don't worry about me."

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment and asked, "Can you see my realm?"

Zhonghezi shook his head and smiled and said, "Taoist inner alchemy, the spirit is hidden inside. Pindao can only see that His Highness is extraordinary, but he doesn't know His Highness's realm. However, Pindao often talks with Daoist Yi Qingzi, so he knows something about it. Your Highness's situation."

Only then did Zhu Zhanji heave a sigh of relief. He was able to practice to the present state mainly because of his previous life experience.He had already crossed this threshold in his previous life, and now it is not difficult to cross the threshold again.

Like Yi Qingzi, although they have practiced for more than 40 years, they are not like him. Practicing Taoist inner strength since childhood has changed their internal organs. The whole body also has impact, endurance, and explosive power that ordinary people do not have.

Therefore, Yiqingzi is not his opponent now.

Just like an ordinary person, maybe because of the unbearable strength of the body, because of the surge of adrenaline, the gallbladder will be damaged, and then he will die.

Even in general, if you use too much force, blood vessels will burst and muscles will be damaged.

But Zhu Zhanji would not, because since he was six years old, the Taoist regimen he practiced has been slowly changing his body.His blood vessels are stronger, his muscle tissue is tighter and more resilient, and even his internal organs are different from ordinary people, all of which make his body a weapon that is not easily damaged.

Now he is almost not afraid of the cold and heat, although he has not tried whether he can withstand the current shotgun, but in his opinion, as long as he is prepared, the bullets may not be able to penetrate his skin.

Of course, this is just a guess, so he won't be bored to experiment and shoot himself.

Diverting the topic, he asked, "Why do you want to go to sea with the fleet? Don't you get along well with those imperial doctors in the research institute now. And based on the detection of germs, you have improved miasma repellents."

Zhonghezi nodded and said: "It is precisely because of this that the old Taoist wants to go with His Highness. The miasma needs to be observed on the spot. Now that there is a magic weapon... a microscope, the old Taoist can know that there are different germs in the miasma. He wants to solve these germs , of course I have to go there in person. The old Taoist also wants to ask His Highness to allow the old Taoist to bring the microscope that Lord Ma made last month."

Ma Zhide polished a few more qualified lenses last month, and newly assembled two microscopes. This time, the research institute and the Taiyuan Hospital finally no longer have to compete.

However, in fact, people in the Institute of Chemistry still don't understand the function of microscopes.With today's technology, the role of microscopes in color matching is actually greater than in medicine.

Because research on viruses and germs in medicine requires more relevant knowledge reserves to cooperate.The collection of various virus data, and then through systematic research, can find out the corresponding germ antibodies.

However, the molecular magnification of the microscope can be used for more in-depth research in printing and dyeing, ink, including explosives.

Zhu Zhanji still shook his head and said: "Prince Dao is more important than his body. He will pass through Guangdong or Jiaozhi at most. When he was in Nanyang, he stayed there to study. As for Xiyang, he still doesn't want to go."

Southeast Asia is the high-incidence area of ​​miasma. He wants to study it, so he just stays there and studies it.

As for Australia, Zhu Zhanji is not interested in developing the inland for the time being. The miasma is raging in central Africa, but it is not the primary development area, so there is no need for him to follow the fleet.

Zhonghezi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Your Highness. This microscope is like a magic tool. Pindao wants to completely solve the worry of miasma before returning to the dust."

Zhu Zhanji got up and cupped his fists and said, "I should be the one thanking the Taoist priest for relieving the worries of the common people in the world!"

No matter how selfish a person is, it is hard not to respect someone like Zhonghezi who has a compassion for the world.

Today is the world, Zhu Zhanji, as the heir, is right to thank Zhonghezi from such a standpoint.

But in the face of Zhu Zhanji, Zhonghezi didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly got up and paid a half-respect, and got up to leave.

When he came, he had already seen a large number of people waiting outside Zhu Zhanji's office. Now that Zhu Zhanji got up to see off the guests, he was not ignorant.

Zhu Zhanji didn't have time to send him off, so he asked Sun Lin to write down the arrangement for Zhonghezi, and said to Li Liang, "Who is next?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, they are representatives of the Jingdezhen Porcelain Guild, with a total of 17 people."

"Let them in."

Although it is almost the Chinese New Year, Zhu Zhanji will not be idle throughout the twelfth lunar month if he wants to arrange all the affairs of going to sea before the year.

Although the specific affairs have already been taken care of, Zhu Zhanji, as the person who controls the overall situation, must know it well.

Moreover, in today's era, the power of personnel and information channels must be in their own hands.

It's not that Zhu Zhanji, a cat and a dog, must be placed in place, but at least, he needs to know what kind of things and who he arranges for.This person, he must also meet with the previous one, otherwise, he will have concerns about information asymmetry.

Not to mention the lower-level people, and it is impossible for him to meet everyone, but at least the middle-level people, he needs to meet in person.

Secondly, the entire sea-going army is nearly 10 people, military combat arrangements, logistics arrangements, and navigation arrangements. He must also have a complete framework for these affairs, so as not to issue wrong commands.

Therefore, even if he is involved in specific affairs, he has to read a large number of meeting reports every day.

Then there are commercial arrangements.Porcelain from the mainland, silk from the south of the Yangtze River, cloth from all over the country, and a variety of green and black teas.

With so many goods, not all of them are directly cashed by the internal supervisor, and there are at least half of the goods, which are not paid by the internal supervisor at all.

And the merchants who provide these goods are willing to pay on credit, of course not because of the face of the inner prisoner, but because of the royal family behind the inner prisoner.

Therefore, when necessary, Zhu Zhanji also needs to meet with these businessmen to appease their hearts.

Like this group of Jingdezhen businessmen, most of them are private kiln owners. In order to get on the line of the internal prison, they are willing to only ask for half of the payment first, on the condition that they can see Zhu Zhanji.

Of course, the porcelain from private kilns is not as good as the porcelain from official kilns controlled by internal control, but because of their large quantity, their output is also large.

This time, the internal supervisor can ask them for half a year's production at once, and pay half of the payment first. Even if they lose, they don't lose much, but they can earn more.

And now that the banks in the capital have opened, banks in other regions will also open at the same time after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, the commercial banks will return the payment month by month.

Speaking of it, Zhu Zhanji's eating looks are also ugly.
