I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Li Run'er asked curiously.

Compared with Li Run'er, who has been working as a counselor in Hunan University, her husband has traveled all over the world and has a very rich experience.

Tan Sitong was the number one scholar in the imperial examination in the 19th year of Dewu.

However, he was not the number one scholar in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, but the number one scholar in the imperial examinations of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Although Tan Sitong's ancestral home was in Changsha, Hunan, his father Tan Jixun followed Lord Li across the sea to South Africa in the early years.

The Tan family is not really a local tyrant or evil gentry, not even a big landlord.

Like Zhang Zhidong, who was taken to Central Asia by Lord Zuo in a daze, Tan Jixun had just obtained his fame at that time.

He is not as powerful as Zhang Xiangshuai, but he was born with Jinshi.

After that, he worked in the Ida Section of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and went south to Yangzhou and Suzhou Huaijun many times on business.

Then for the last business trip, he never returned to Beijing.

Today, Tan Jixun has his own pasture on the banks of the Great Lakes in Northwest South Africa and has become a successful farmer.

However, Tan Sitong was not willing to inherit such a family business.

Tan Jixun also hoped that his son could pass the imperial examination and return to Daming.

As a result, Tan Sitong, the king of scroll kings who was convoluted all the way in the Southern Tang Dynasty, finally succeeded in being admitted to the Daming Guozijian, and became a teacher of Professor Sha Jingfang.

Over the years, Tan Sitong has traveled extensively with Professor Sha Jingfang's team and made a lot of contributions to the construction of water conservancy projects in Daming and its vassal states.

However, the more places he traveled, the more Tan Sitong felt that what he really loved was not water control, but the management of people's livelihood in a place.

And through water control, Tan Sitong also learned many principles of local governance.

Coincidentally, Daming advocated the rule of the country by engineers, and engineers with backgrounds in water conservancy engineering, electromechanical, etc. were widely acclaimed.

So Tan Sitong decided to sign up for a try.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed after the end of my marriage leave.

Moreover, Tan Sitong on Professor Sha's side hadn't passed his anger yet, so Professor Sha must have been depressed for a long time after knowing his decision.

Therefore, for Tan Sitong, the wedding trip is not so much a honeymoon, but rather a relaxation, a change of mood, and mental preparation for a showdown with his mentor.

After bidding farewell to Paris, Tan Sitong and his wife followed the footsteps of His Majesty Zhu Fugui and Concubine Zhu Li's honeymoon trip to many places.

For example, they traveled to the ancient Georgian town of Gori.

Back then, His Majesty Zhu Fugui and his concubine lived in this small town for three days, and this hotel has become a star hotel in Georgia.

Obviously, the environment and facilities of this hotel are not worthy of its price of 10 Ming Yuan per night, and I don’t know what Long Live God would value here.

However, Li Run'er was very satisfied with Ivanovic's shoemaker's shop, another scenic spot in the ancient city of Gori.

Vessarion Ivanovich Djugashvili was a not-so-famous leather shoemaker in the ancient city of Gori.

Legend has it that when His Majesty Zhu Fugui and Princess Zhu Li were walking on the streets of the ancient city, the heel of Princess Zhu Li suddenly broke in the cracks in the stone road.

Just at this time, there was a loud cry of a baby from a shop not far away.

And the shop happened to be Ivanovic's shoemaker's shop.

Princess Jolie repaired her high heels here and was full of praise for the old Ivanovic's craftsmanship.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui happily hugged the newborn baby.

According to rumors, His Majesty Zhu Fugui played the baby's sparrow with great interest!

When Tan Sitong and his wife came to this shoemaker's shop, the small shoemaker's shop had turned into a large luxury store.

In the eyes of the neighbors, the old Ivanovic simply picked up shit, and his shop was favored by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Not only the Lord of Gori showed his favor to him, but even His Majesty the Tsar greeted him, asking the local officials to take care of old Ivanovic's shop and avoid the harassment of tax officials and hooligans.

Even Tang Yun, the world's most famous luxury brand a few years ago, recognized old Ivanovic's craftsmanship and allowed him to join as an OEM.

Of course, products must be regularly verified.

This is Tang Yun's approval!

Old Ivanovic Georgia, and even Lucia's status as the number one shoemaker is solid.

Li Run'er wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes made by the old Ivanovic himself.

It's just a pity that this kind of leather shoes requires an appointment.

She did, however, buy new women's leather shoes made by Joseph Jr.

Little Joseph is the son of old Ivanovic, that is, the boy who was played by His Majesty Zhu Fugui back then.

Now he is 15 years old and has become an excellent little shoemaker.

Joseph is very satisfied with his work, and has been working hard to improve his technical level, striving to succeed his father's work one day and become the best leather shoemaker in Georgia.

That was his father's wish too.

And although his mother Ekaterina once imagined that her son would become an Orthodox priest instead of mending leather shoes like her husband, she has changed her mind a long time ago.

After all, repairing leather shoes to the present level is no longer an ordinary shoemaker.

"Joseph, you must study hard and inherit your father's work!" Ekaterina told her son more than once...

In fact, the honeymoon trip between His Majesty Zhu Fugui and Princess Julie 15 years ago was far more than a small town in Georgia.

Zhu Fugui also took Julie to Vienna to appreciate art, but was disappointed.

Zhu Fugui believes that the Vienna Academy of Arts is not worthy of its name, and cannot discover and cultivate real artistic talents.

At that time, Ming Du had not yet broken his face, and Zhu Fugui's evaluation of Vienna could only accept his nose.

In fact, Zhu Fugui knew nothing about art.

But with a good relationship at this time, presumably the future student of the Vienna Academy of Arts who failed in the fine arts will not be so disappointed.

After all, in the wind and rain, Fengdu Art Institute is waiting for you.

Instead of being angry in Vienna, which has no eyes and no eyes, it is better to go to Fengdu, the highest holy land of modern art in the world, to try your luck.

This must be the instinctive thought of young artists in the future.

Confined by the Iron Curtain, it is inconvenient for Tan Sitong and his wife to travel to Vienna now.

After they left Georgia, they passed through the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, crossed the Suez Canal jointly managed by the three countries, entered the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and finally arrived in South Africa.

Li Run'er met her parents-in-law there and helped take care of the heifers on the farm.

Tan Jixun and his wife are considering buying some black slaves from the Boers in the north.

Those who came to South Africa with Grandpa Li back then, in fact, there were many father-in-laws who ran out of the city.

Although these people were rich, they were unable to have children, and the Ming Dynasty did not allow the inner domain to use eunuchs. These guys were originally useless people.

But somehow, those father-in-laws got in touch with the Boers.

As a result, castrated Kunlun slaves appeared on the underground black market in South Africa for sale.

Zulu son-in-law-Buer wholesaler-South Tang slave owner, a brand-new sinful triangle trade was born.

This situation belongs to a legal vacuum, and the court doesn't care about it, so Tan Jixun also moved his mind.

Tan Sitong was noncommittal, and this kind of thing would be banned sooner or later.

Although the black slaves were bought by the Boers from the Zulu son-in-law and the Zulu princess, they are not humane after all.

But this should be decades later, and Tan Sitong has no interest in disobeying his father.

After staying in South Africa for a few days, Tan Sitong and his wife embarked on a journey again.

This time they went to the Australian Consolation Department.

In Australia's desolate wilderness, animal conservationists are grieving over an infestation of wild rabbits.

They planned to introduce dogs and cats to eliminate rabbits, but His Majesty Zhu Fugui firmly opposed it.

Therefore, every tourist who comes to Australia will be enthusiastically invited by the locals to hunt rabbits, and they will count as their own.

Tan Sitong and Li Run'er rode horses and hunted rabbits for three full days, and gained a lot.

Then, I watched the performance of the Fujian Cowboys.

After eating rabbit meat for three days in a row, the two finally couldn't take it anymore.

So, they spent 200 Ming Yuan to participate in the Tasmania flight experience project.

200 Ming Yuan is equivalent to 50000 RMB.

If Tan Sitong hadn't earned a lot of money as a water conservancy engineer, and hadn't been bewitched by a bad mentor to spend all the money in places like Seattle, he wouldn't be willing to spend this money, which is money given away for nothing.

Set sail from the southern tip of Australia by airship, tourists can airdrop supplies to various primitive tribes on Tasmania.

This is a new method for good men and women of Ming Dynasty to accumulate merit.

Although there is a bit of false compassion, it is much better than throwing bastards in the release pool and poisonous snakes on the next mountain.

Tan Sitong and Li Run'er also bought a lot of food for distribution.

Before the family bought a few castrated Kunlun slaves, Tan Sitong was somewhat condemned by his conscience.

After the airdrop, the energy and blood were relieved, and I really felt much better.

No wonder foreigners do all kinds of evil, but they still eat well and sleep well. Things like confessional rooms are really useful.

only……

Tan Sitong looked at the fat and fat natives on the island who were lazily lying on the beach waiting for the airdrop, and always felt that the luncheon meat in their hands was extraordinarily heavy...

……

After leaving Australia, Tan Sitong and his wife will take a cruise across the Pacific Ocean to Fengdu.

His tutor, Professor Sha Jingfang, was there, and the civil service examinations for the imperial court would also be held there.

In the Pacific Ocean, there are many fiefdoms of the princes of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial system of Ming Dynasty had limitations, and Zhu Fugui was reluctant to part with the throne of the emperor, so he would naturally pay the corresponding price.

That is, the Fourth Empire of Ming Dynasty still needed to compromise with the traditional system in many cases.

For example, this is the case with Fenghou.

After conquering London and Paris, it was time for the Fourth Ming Empire to reward its achievements.

Since ancient times, the founding fathers of the feudal empire and the ministers of the dragon must be rewarded.

For example, veterans like Qi Wenchang, Zhang Changgui, and Yang Liu, and generals like Mo Bai and Morishita.

It is definitely not acceptable to randomly distribute the feudal titles like the Sanshun King of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not even necessary to control Yunnan like Mu Jiayong.

History has proved that Zhu Hongwu's ancestor, as well as Zhu Di's canonized princes in the two capitals of the north and the south, did more harm than good.

However, it would also be inappropriate to have a title that is vain and cannot be passed down from generation to generation.

Daming's title is naturally worth tens of thousands of gold, so he will retire with the country.

This is quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, Daming is rich all over the world, and it is not just a matter of talking about its vast land and abundant resources.

Zhu Fugui had already planned how to entrust these meritorious ministers.

So when the war ended, Daming's meritorious deeds and rewards session would soon begin.

Specifically, all islands with an area of ​​less than 6000 square meters in the territorial waters of the Ming Dynasty were used for enfeoffment.

Among them, Qi Wenchang, Duke of the Kingdom of Gui, named the North Solomon Island, the Grand Duke of Solomon. [Note: The Solomon Islands is an archipelago, and Qi Wenchang’s fiefdom is the North Island close to Papua New Asia, the same below]

Yin Weasel, Duke of the State of Yin, enfeoffed South Fiji Island, that is, Grand Duke of Fiji.

British Duke Mo Baifeng Vanuatu, that is, the Grand Duke of Vanuatu.

Zhang Changgui, the Duke of Chiguo, granted Samoa the Grand Duke of Samoa.

These are the only four Dukes of the Ming Dynasty.

Beside this there is:

Hou Senxia of Kiribati, Hou Xia Zhixin of Tonga, Yangliu Hou of Micronesia, Wang Pinren of Palau, Jiang Biao of Niue, Zhao Xizhu of Kuke, Xiya Hou of Tuvalu, Jin Shinan of Marshall, and Hou of Nauru (Guano returned to the state) Wei Dong and so on...

Zhu Fugui ordered all the meritorious ministers of Ming Dynasty, and even one-tenth of the small islands in the Pacific Ocean have not been sealed off. As for the small islands in the Caribbean, they are even useless.
