Chapter 234: There are differences between the East and the West

The sun shines high.

It's a new day, with the brilliant sunshine shining through the windows and shining in the room. Yang Jie found that his clothes have been getting less and less recently, and the weather has become warmer and warmer.

Yesterday, an old era passed, and today, a new era has arrived. The small-scale moves before Yang Jing's attempt to change history were small and ridiculous; now, for the first time, there is a powerful move that can truly leverage history.

From traveling through time to becoming an emperor for such a long time, Yang Jingwei felt so relaxed for the first time. The haze on his head finally disappeared a lot. He finally saw the possibility of changing history, and finally had a little confidence in the burden of changing history.

Although things were as complicated as before, Yang Jie felt very relaxed.

Wenhua Palace.

"Your Majesty, this memorial is from Zhengyi Zhenren and Zhang Xianyong. He wants to invite all Taoist sects in the world to gather in the capital to hold the World Taoist ritual meeting in the capital to demonstrate Your Majesty's merits and pray for the people of the world..." Wang Cheng'en selected a more important memorial and focused on reporting to the emperor.

It suddenly seemed that this guy was preparing to praise the emperor and flatter the emperor. In fact, the emperor and Zhang Xianyong knew about the matter.

"He? He is in the General Fa meeting...well, it's accurate." Yang Jing's handling memorial was quick, and the matter was settled immediately.

The eunuch Bingbi on the side immediately wrote something on this memorial based on the emperor's intention, and then used it to use it for sealing. Even if this matter is settled, it is very efficient.

"Your Majesty, this memorial was drafted by the Ministry of Personnel. Regarding the appointment of immigration officials, the above lists more than 200 Jinshi in His Majesty's enrollment section, including Cao Xun, Fang Gonggan, Wanhuhou,... Yingxi minister..." Wang Chengen picked another book and said it to the emperor first, and read it all the way according to the ranking in the memorial.

After listening to it for a while, Yang Jie felt that this was too complicated. There were more than 200 people, and he might not remember a few of them, and said, "Have you all gone to the top three?"

"...Your Majesty, your Majesty is talking about the top scorer of the 1st, the second scorer, Tanhua?" Wang Chengen was surprised. Are these three people going too? The court has always treated the top scorer well, especially the top scorer. Does Your Majesty plan to send these people to provide disaster relief?

"Well, indeed, aren't these people on the list?" Yang Jingang thought for a while and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is not... The court has always treated the first class differently, especially the top scholar, and generally will not release it..." Wang Chengen decided to remind the emperor.

"...No, this time is different. This immigration disaster relief is the top priority of our dynasty and is related to the peace of the world. Since it is the top scholar from my favor, we should shoulder the important task of immigration for me, and send it down and send it down..." Yang Jing planned to send all these people. Those who are officials do not contact the grassroots. Over time, he will be separated from the people. When he becomes an official, his body will float in the clouds. The ideas and things he does are all "high-end" ideas. This will form a trend in the future, that is, "talk", this is a disease, and it must be cured, so that they can contact the people more, so that they can know what the real situation in this world is. Being an official, doing things, and giving ideas is more reliable. Yang Jing has a huge psychological shadow on the actions of the Donglin Party in the future.

"...This...is, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen still followed the emperor's intention. The emperor's statement is reasonable. The top priority of the Chongzhen Dynasty is now immigrants and disaster relief, and sending the top scholar to serve as immigration officials. This just shows that the emperor values ​​these people, opponents, and Wang Chengen thinks the emperor is right.

After dealing with more important matters, those less important memorials were the same as before, and were thought of by the little eunuch. Yang Jing had a little impression of this matter and was sure of it, so he directly issued an order and expressed his opinion. On the other hand, the eunuch Bingbi would immediately write something according to the emperor's wishes and then send it to the seal. This matter was considered to be completed. For those who are not very important, or who have no impression of it or are not sure, they will pass it and throw it to the cabinet for handling.

This is how the handling method has greatly changed the impression of the emperor by the cabinet and officials of various departments. They have a very good impression of the emperor. They feel that the emperor's delegating power has given them a lot of space and a lot of trust. Therefore, they are not very concerned about the emperor in many things.

The memorial for the day was quickly processed.

Yang Jie stretched out and was very energetic today, so he would be quick to deal with things. He divided the two things into two, and a large stack of things were finished.

"Your Majesty,... the Inner Supervision Commission asked for advice, saying that he had prepared a blessing ship for His Majesty, and the warship model. Will His Majesty summon him? Also, the ship model made by Ando, ​​the missionary of the Folang Jiren, has also been prepared, and he will wait for His Majesty to summon him. Will His Majesty also want to see him?" Wang Chengen said.

"Ship-like? Battleship?... Summon." Yang Jing has been busy with disaster relief recently, and he threw this matter behind his head. If it weren't for Wang Cheng'en's reminder, Yang Jing would have forgotten what he told Zheng Huaizhong, and he would have decided on the model of the warship in about a month so that he could build the warship.

The eunuchs in the internal officials have now made great efforts and knowing that the emperor likes new things, they are all planning to become Zheng Huaizhong second and Zheng He third, and to glorify their ancestors in the future. The famous eunuch who is the eunuch will be passed down for generations, so they will be eunuchs once.

Qin Yaozu was a eunuch. To be more accurate, he was the eunuch in the internal official supervision. More precisely, he was the "top leader" of the internal official supervision. Since Zheng Huaizhong went to Nanjing to be a shipbuilding admiral, there has been no eunuch in the internal official supervision. He was just an agent. This position has never been mentioned, and he is still the title of prime minister eunuch in the internal official supervision.

Qin Yaozu has been supervising the craftsmen to make ships day and night, repeatedly verifying the size and appearance of the ships, and repeatedly modifying them in order to have a good performance in front of the emperor, so that the ships can be made more beautiful. Qin Yaozu also knew that the people who made ships for the emperor were not alone. It is said that there were still barbarians who made ships for the emperor, and felt that the pressure was very high... In order to be able to sit as the eunuch at the palm of the seal as soon as possible, he racked his brains. Perhaps one day, he could become Zheng He second, no, Zheng He third, and Zheng Huaizhong second. After all, there were not many eunuchs who could leave their names in history, let alone a good reputation.

"I am the eunuch of the Inner Supervision Officer Qin Yaozu, who is the eunuch of the Inner Supervision Officer, and I will be the one who is the one who is the second time." Qin Yaozu kowtowed to the emperor with a sincere face. Although he is now the top leader of the Inner Supervision Officer, it is not easy to meet the emperor again.

Yang Jing sprayed tea far away with a "pu" and said, "Prime Minister, you are not..., yes, this name is really unusable. I am a person from the 21st century and I am sensitive to this name.

"Big partner, in the future, don't call me Prime Minister and eunuch. I remember that the deputy was called the Young Master?" Yang Jing decided to change it. This ranking is a bit allergic to Chinese people in the 21st century.

"Report to Your Majesty, I used to be a junior supervisor, but later it was changed to other ones. This Prime Minister and Eunuch is one of them. It's been a while, but Your Majesty wants to change it back to its original form?" Wang Chengen didn't understand why the emperor was so excited and disliked the Prime Minister and Eunuch.

"Change, change, change to a minor supervision, it sounds better." Yang Jingai said immediately.

"I obey the order, and I will tell you to change it immediately." Wang Chengen agreed. Although he was not sure why, but the emperor always had some taboos such as this and that...

"I am the young supervisor of the inner official and the young supervisor of the Ministry of Justice Qin Yaozu, long live the young supervisor of Your Majesty..." Qin Yaozu was also a wink. Seeing that the emperor said he wanted to change the prime minister and eunuch to the junior supervisor, he immediately changed to a new official position. You must know that there is no eunuch in the inner official and the eunuch in charge of the seal, but there are several people with similar status as him. Now that the position of Young Superior in front of the emperor was confirmed, it further consolidated his position.

"Get up, I heard that your ship is ready?" Yang Jie asked. He was planning to put Zheng Huaizhong in charge before, but Zheng Huaizhong went to Nanjing to build a ship. This task fell on Qin Yaozu again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have indeed made a ship sample. Please check it out." Qin Yaozu agreed carefully.

"Well, then I'll send it to you for a look."

"Affect the order."

A series of eunuchs came in with these several ship samples.

Placed one by one in Wenhua Hall.

Qin Yaozu saw his masterpieces these days and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, these are all kinds of ships from my Ming Dynasty, from big to treasure ships, blessing ships, small to sand ships, and Cangshan ships..." Qin Yaozu and the shipbuilding matter were originally impossible to beat by eight poles, but in the past few days, he has recognized all these ships and can tell the source and characteristics of these ships, and can tell how big the ship is and how many people it can hold. He can be considered half an expert.

"Wait, wait, you will introduce it one by one." Yang Jingwei really wanted to know the detailed data, so as to decide what ship he wanted to build, how many, and what the ratio between various ships was.

"As for your order, Your Majesty..." Qin Yaozu was very happy. This time he did not suppress the wrong treasure. This time, he showed his face in front of the emperor.

"...Your Majesty, this largest ship is the treasure ship of our dynasty. It is said that the treasure ship is dozens of feet long and dozens of feet wide. It can carry a thousand people and a hundred cannons. It is actually the largest warship of our dynasty... However, due to the lack of copywriting, this is just created by me based on the memories of the old people. I dare not boast if it can be made..." Qin Yaozu got Zheng Huaizhong's explanation and instructions, and knew that the first thing to do to the emperor was to not lie and say whatever he had, so he was also to tell the truth.

Uh... Treasure Ship? This thing has not been understood in later generations. The data of various versions are very different. Now, even if Yang Jing can search online, he cannot find any real and reliable authoritative information. Now, this treasure ship can only rely on the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty themselves. It seems that he, a time traveler, will sometimes suffer a defeat!

"Let's not mention this treasure ship for now, let's talk about the things that are already numeric." Yang Jing decided to put this treasure ship aside and look at the ship that can determine various data first.

"Yes, Your Majesty,... Your Majesty, this one is a great blessing ship..." Qin Yao's ancestor agreed, then walked to the side of another ship model and began to explain.

"..., the bottom of this kind of big blessing ship is sharp round bottom, with a square head and tail, with a narrower head and wider tail, with both ends raised, with a high head and tail..., there are three masts, four zhang high, twenty zhang long, five floors of warehouse, and a tower as high as a city, which can accommodate 300 people, with eight red cannons and forty zhang 1,000 jin Folang machine... " Qin Yaozu said that this ship was very smooth, like a shipbuilding expert, but he scared the emperor Yang Jing, the novice, and he knew that this guy was a little whiter than Yang Jing, not long ago, and he had never seen anything like a sea boat.

"Your Majesty, this ship is based on the existing warships we are making, and it is definitely exactly the same as a real warship..."

Yang Jie was very interested in this medieval warship. He got off the dragon throne and walked straight to the side of the ship model. He watched it carefully. It has to be said that this ship was made very realistic and magnificent. Even modern people are used to watching aircraft carriers that are 100,000 tons on TV. When they see this wooden ancient warship, they are amazed.

However, Yang Jing only looked at the data, uses, and practical effects of this ship, and knew almost zero.

As he was speaking, Wang Chengen said again: "Your Majesty, the missionary of the Folangji, named Ando, ​​has arrived and brought his boat. Will Your Majesty meet?"

I don’t know if the two of them made an appointment or if they happened to have both shipbuilders, so let’s meet them all, just in time to compare who is better.

"See."

Soon, a Westerner came in with his own boat. As soon as he came in, he kowtowed to the emperor respectfully.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor, your servant Ando, ​​please you."

"Haha, get up, Ando, ​​I heard that your "Sea King" has also been ready for ship example? Let's introduce it." Yang Jing kowtowed to this foreigner so respectfully, and felt very comfortable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Anduo also saw that in this hall, not only his own ship, but also his Majesty the Emperor invited others to build a ship for him. The pressure on Anduo suddenly became enormous. Anduo felt that he should defeat his opponent and let His Majesty help him build his dream, the King of the Sea.

So, Qin Yaozu immediately became an enemy in Ando's eyes.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the ship model he made was made based on the largest and most powerful warships that could be built in the Kingdom of England. Such warships can definitely dominate the ocean. Look at its majestic figure and countless artillery are symbols of strength and strength..." When Ando talked about the warship model he made, he was very excited. In order to defeat his opponent, he began to praise his warships to death.

"Tell me about the data of the ship." Yang Jing did not have the energy to listen to others' bragging, and just thought that those kind of ships were more powerful, so he would build more of those kind of ships himself.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, this 'Sea King' has a dragon bone of more than 11 zhang and seven feet long, with a total length of more than 15 zhang and three inches long, with a depth of nearly seven zhang, a drought of two zhang, with four decks, and a total weight of more than three million jin..." Speaking of data, Anduo opened his mouth and said that when he was three million jin, he was quite confident. In order to defeat his opponent, Anduo deliberately claimed a unit of jin, which was more than three million jin. When he suddenly heard that the number was too many.

Qin Yaozu hated this barbarian very much. But why is the things he paid for are not as beautiful as this barbarian? Others say that he has three million pounds, so would he use an inch to report his strengths and weaknesses to the emperor?

"..., Your Majesty the Emperor, my warship has more than one hundred cannons, which can fire more than two thousand kilograms of shells at a time. With it, you will be invincible..." While talking about the ship's data, Anduo suddenly put a gild on his face. Seeing his opponent's face being defeated, Anduo felt very happy.

Qin Yaozu really couldn't stand this barbarian bragging his ship in front of him. What does it mean to be invincible? Wouldn't that mean my ship is useless? What I can't stand is that the barbarian was still despising himself. In order to fight for a breath, Qin Yaozu spoke regardless of the rules in the palace ban.

"Your Majesty, my maid's ship is also very powerful and invincible." Qin Yaozu also held his ship and challenged the barbarian Andu in a fierce manner.

Yang Jingwei found it interesting that these two people would meet up like this soon.

"No, my Majesty, my ship is the most powerful. You have also seen that my ship has more than 100 artillery positions, which are more than twice as many artillery positions than this person's ship. Of course, my ship is more powerful..." Anduo's sharp eyes immediately understood how many cannons there were on the ship that Qin Yaozu was holding, and immediately used this as an attack weapon.

"You, you, your ship is not as big as ours. Our ship is worse than your captain. Our ship can carry more than 300 people. When fighting, your ship will definitely not be as good as ours." Qin Yaozu also grabbed something and immediately fought back.

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, my ship is still powerful. Although my ship is not as big as his ship, my ship can carry 800 sailors, which is more than twice the number of others. In a war, my ship must have won." When Ando heard that there were only more than 300 people on his opponent's ship, he immediately laughed.

Qin Yaozu was stunned. He thought that 300 people were enough. You must know that there were only more than 100 people on the smaller lucky ship. In order to win the opponent, he deliberately said it was more than 300, just to scare the opponent. Where did he know that others did not have their own ship size, and they actually installed 800 people. Doesn’t these 800 people occupy space?

Qin Yaozu was stunned, looked at His Majesty anxiously, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This...", I don't know what to say.

Yang Jing compared the models of the two people. Judging from the model, the model made by Qin Yaozu is indeed much larger than the Ando's Sea King. I don't know if it's a matter of proportion or it's really bigger than Ando's Sea King. Think about it, Qin Yaozu's Chinese ship is twenty feet long, and Ando's Sea King is only sixteen feet long. It should be said that Qin Yaozu's Chinese ship is indeed larger than the Ando's Sea King, but the difference between these few people is too great. There are only more than 300 people on the Chinese ship, and the Sea King is directly stuffed into 800 people. This... It seems that there are indeed great differences between the East and the West in ancient times.

Looking at Qin Yaozu's pitiful appearance, Yang Jie didn't plan to say anything.

"Not bad, not bad..." Yang Jing nodded. Yang Jing was very clear about the history of the King of the Sea, and even more clear about his achievements. According to history, this kind of super warship can be served for sixty years and participated in countless naval battles. It can be regarded as a powerful weapon at sea, but the cost is a little higher. Last time Andu told himself that this cost would cost more than 100,000 taels of silver per ship, but the cost of building a ship lasted for sixty years is only 2,000 taels per year. In this way, this is a ship with a very good cost performance. Of course, I have to expect that the warship built by this guy is the same as the King of the Sea in history.

"The ship is good, but it's a little expensive. Last time you said it would cost more than 100,000 taels, right?" Yang Jing had a plan for shipbuilding. Western and Chinese each built a fleet to see who is better. So, although Anduo and Qin Yaozu were both saying that their ship was good, in fact, Yang Jing had a clear idea.

"Dear Emperor, yes, the calculation is indeed between tens and tens of thousands of taels. However, after repeated verification, I feel that the cost of the construction may not be that high, because the silver of the Ming Dynasty was quite valuable. I think that a hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough. Of course, if the cannon on the ship can be produced by itself in the Ming Dynasty, the cost will be even lower. About tens of thousands of taels of silver should be enough..." Anduo wanted to build such a super warship very much, and repeatedly calculated the cost, compared the actual purchasing power of his own country and the Ming Dynasty, and came to this conclusion, Anduo did not want to mess up this matter because the cost was too high.

"Haha, not bad, **10,000 taels? It's really cheaper, what about the others? What I need is a fleet, and just a warship cannot form a fleet!" Yang Jing had already made up his mind that the one who wanted to build such a warship was now just a formal model and a certain style, so he didn't plan to talk nonsense. After seeing it, he was ready to build a ship one day earlier, a navy one day earlier, a dominant ocean one day earlier, a day earlier...

"Dear Your Majesty, this is the other ships designed in the lower house. The models are much smaller. The naval guns range from several to dozens of times, all of which cooperate with this warship... The King of the Sea serves as the flagship, and the three smaller warships are also the main force of this fleet, each with fifty to sixty guns, and five smaller warships, serving support tasks. Each warship has about twenty to forty guns. The smallest one is the nearshore support ship, with only a few to one to twenty guns, responsible for some special areas of combat missions. In this way, a fleet with full functions and considerable numbers will have..." Anduo himself held the largest warship, and the other ships were handled by the little eunuchs, each holding one, standing in a row, looking a little, and it can be regarded as the prototype of a fleet.

Anduo was very happy. Seeing that he defeated his competitor in just a few words, he was very proud. Seeing his opponent's defeat, he felt happy.

Qin Yaozu could only stand aside in frustration.
Chapter completed!
