My Daming New Empire

In fact, this is not the first time the General Secretary has done this.Because of Zhu Zhanji's permission, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give the Secretary of the General Administration some trade shares every year.

These profits will become the overseas funds of the Secretary of General Administration for the development of downlines and the implementation of secret operations.

The General Administration Department is not without funds, but their funds are limited. The imperial court can only distribute salaries according to the list of registered officials, and it is impossible to reimburse all their funds.

Reimbursement of all funds will only make the amount of funds appear huge, which is not conducive to the balance of various departments of the court, and will also promote corruption.

Because no one knows how much money a certain action will cost and how effective it will be. There is no quantitative standard for all of this.

But espionage is a very money-consuming industry, and restricting funds is not conducive to development.

Therefore, the imperial court will give some trade shares, so that the money earned can be used as funds.

With this small treasury within the General Administration Department, they can freely arrange some actions, and because of mutual supervision internally, corruption is reduced, and outsiders don't know what they have done.

Naturally, his two sons, Meng Fang and Meng Zheng, set off with Monte.The Mongolian side has confirmed that it will inherit Monte's industry, and the focus of future development will also be on family development.

And Mengzheng will inherit the title of Monte in the future. As for his fate, it is no longer in Monte's hands.

Meng is just a very smart person. If he was not smart, he would not have received such attention from the Secretary of the General Administration, so he would support him wholeheartedly.

The plan for Europe is a long-term plan, and Mengzheng will bear heavy responsibilities in the next few decades.

But on the outside, Meng Zheng has become a real playboy.

When returning from Europa this time, apart from preparing for the wedding, he had to participate in the wedding. At other times, he was assigned heavy tasks by the Secretary of General Administration.

In the Qinglou brothel on the Qinhuai River, he played the role of an upstart who spends money like water.

But in fact, he has always been surrounded by experts from the Secretary of General Affairs, behind the scenes teaching him how to analyze intelligence, how to observe words and expressions, and how to pretend to be a deep and charming dude.

For his future development, he also learned poetry from literati, and learned how to build a profitable team and how to promote football from Nancheng Football Team, the most successful football club today.

The Nancheng football team is not the most successful team in Ming Dynasty, but it is the most successful civilian team in Ming Dynasty.They don't have the support of the nobles, and they don't have much financial support, but they have managed well from the beginning and are now among the top teams.

Mengzheng's European development plan has been strongly supported by the Secretary of General Administration. In the past, they have been taking pains to cultivate agents, but these agents cannot completely side with Daming.

Including the Medici family, they also have their own interests and positions in Europe, so even if the Secretary of General Administration has thousands of small insiders, they will not be of great use.

And Meng Zheng is completely different, he can be completely trusted and cultivated.

But Duan Renzhi was somewhat displeased with Meng Zheng's changes.He betrothed his granddaughter to Mengzheng because Mengzheng was safe and down-to-earth, and now he was working for the Secretary of the General Administration. A playboy, he was not an ideal candidate for a grandson-in-law.

But it's a done deal, and there's nothing he can do now.However, for the sake of his granddaughter's future, and to satisfy his desire to go out and see more before he died, he decided to go to Europa with Meng Zheng.

40 years ago, he had been to Europa, but at that time, he was still a general in the navy.

Now, he is on a journey to Europe again, and his identity has become a "football coach".

Because Duan Renzhi was also going to Europe, Xu Sheng, who was also the son-in-law of Zhu Zhanji and the son-in-law of the Institute of Technology, wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Institute of Technology and Europa, so he simply sent a group of 12 student representatives to study in Europe together.

After Zhu Zhanji knew about this plan, he asked Xu Sheng to remove the students with excellent grades, and only sent students who were not good at academics but had football skills to Europa.

And they also shouldered a task, that is to search for outstanding talents in various universities in Europe, and then report to them.

To be honest, the current level of science and technology in Europe is far behind that of Daming. Even students who are not doing well in Daming may be an era ahead of them when they arrive in Europe.

So Daming is at a disadvantage in communicating now.

But Zhu Zhanji also knows that today's Europe is in the stage of the Renaissance, and there are still some outstanding talents in this era.

It is still necessary to use better conditions to attract outstanding talents to Daming and strengthen Daming's cultural influence.

Now European countries are actively learning Ming dialect. In Crete, almost everyone can speak Ming dialect with a strange accent, but this is only for trade with Ming people.

At the cultural level, apart from Confucianism, in order to maintain scientific research capabilities, Daming has always been more repellent against foreigners.

Just like Guozijian, there are now more than [-] foreign students, but only students from the Ming Dynasty can enter the Institute of Science and Technology.

Zhu Zhanji wants to maintain communication and maintain cultural influence, but he is unwilling to let Europeans learn more knowledge.

So they simply sent a bunch of scumbags and sports talents to Europe.

Xu Sheng is the fourth generation of Xing'anbo. The first generation of Xing'anbo, Xu Xiang, had passed away in the second year of Yongle, so the influence of the Xu family in the court was not great.

When Xu Sheng's father, Xu Xian, broke his leg while riding a horse, he became a lame man. Since then, the family lost power in the army and turned to learning literature.

Although Xu Sheng was born in Xing'anbo Mansion, he studied literature since he was a child. In the 11th year of Zhengtong, he graduated from the Institute of Science and Engineering with the No.1 grade in the school, and has been teaching in the school since then.

Because of his handsome appearance and gentle manners, Yongning, the thirteenth princess who entered the Polytechnic Institute at that time, took a fancy to him at the first sight when she was only 16 years old.Facing the active pursuit of a princess, Xu Sheng surrendered without much resistance.

This is the first case of teacher-student love in Ming Dynasty, or free love. When Zhu Zhanji knew it, it had already caused a great sensation.

Of course Zhu Zhanji didn't bother to beat mandarin ducks with sticks, not to mention that Xu Sheng was outstanding, so he made them perfect and gave them marriages.

As a result, over the years, the two of them have instead become a typical example of Daming's free love. Dramas based on the stories of the two of them have always been very popular.

Thirty years have passed, and the relationship between the couple has always been very good. With the support of Zhu Zhanji, Xu Sheng became the sacrificial wine of the Institute of Technology for 30 years.

As Zhu Zhanji's son-in-law, his contact with Zhu Zhanji is not limited to official affairs. Zhu Zhanji can also tell his son-in-law without any scruples about many things that are difficult to say to ministers.

Xu Sheng is very clear about Zhu Zhanji's mentality, and has been unswervingly implementing Zhu Zhanji's wishes.

In recent years, under the leadership of Xu Sheng, the Institute of Science and Technology has been stubbornly not recruiting any students who have not registered in Ming Dynasty, even if they are princes.

After understanding what Zhu Zhanji meant, he immediately found Jin Yiwei and asked this professional organization to list the confidentiality regulations and list almost all items involving confidentiality for these students to remember.

Facing the old and cunning Jin Yiwei, these inexperienced students just effortlessly fooled them, and they were beaten like chicken blood one by one. With the glorious mission of serving the country, they boarded the merchant ship headed for Europa. .

Because of their followers, not only the Secretary of General Administration, but even Jin Yiwei sent two related households to travel at public expense on the grounds of teaching these students the confidentiality clause.

The Secretary of General Administration has no objection to this, and he is not afraid that Jin Yiwei will take the credit.When it comes to the secrecy system in all aspects, the Department of General Affairs does not have a major in Jinyiwei.

After the steam engine was invented, ships no longer had to go to sea according to the weather.Although the ships are still affected by the monsoon, it is only a matter of speed. Even if the wind is headwind, the current merchant ships can still have a speed of [-] miles per hour.

From the perspective of future generations, the speed of only fifteen kilometers per hour can be described as surprisingly slow.

But you must know that most of the ships in Europe are not only much smaller, but when the wind is headwind, a fast ship can run ten kilometers an hour.

Ten days later, the merchant ship arrived at Star City.

This is not only the administrative center of Ming Dynasty in the Nanyang region, but also a trade center.

The entire Indochina Peninsula region is now a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, including Borneo, Luzon, and Sumatra Island, all of which are sources of resources for the Ming Dynasty.

Because it is rich in oil and rubber, some basic industries have also been developed in the Nanyang area. The most famous ones here are tire factories and rubber product factories.

The ship stayed in Star City for two days, and Meng Zheng didn't buy anything else. He bought more than two thousand cheap local footballs and hundreds of pumps at once.
