Let's put it this way, wherever the Jinghai Fleet of the Ming Dynasty went, the local Chinese and overseas Chinese enthusiastically presented local specialties, which made Lao Li a real feast.
Of course, the reason why the Chinese were so enthusiastic was that apart from being excited to see the big ship in Tangshan, it was also because the Jinghai medical team had brought them miraculous medicine.
Compared with going to Japan to fight against the epidemic back then, the fleet of the Ming Jinghai Fleet this time is larger and better prepared, and the medical team headed by Li Chunfa is also more professional.
Think about how much fame Zhang Jiao, a local doctor + quack master, can accumulate through curing diseases.
The Great Ming Jinghai Fleet is more than ten times stronger than this!
Since they would not accept the gold, silver, pearls, jade, and old Li, the Chinese who wanted to express their gratitude could only offer cheap local products and delicacies, just to show their heart.
So all the way in the Nanyang Islands, Lao Li also ate all the way.
He not only ate, but also recorded the food with his camera, and wrote down his experience of enjoying the food seriously, and compiled it into a booklet.
When Xuanzang visited Tianzhu, there was "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", and "Zheng He's Voyage Chart" was published when the Three Treasures went to the West.
And my father-in-law Li Chunfa of the Ming Dynasty cruised in Nanyang, and my Ming Dynasty also had "Food Records of Ten Thousand Cities in Southern Xinjiang in Shengming".
In the words of Lao Li, my Ming Dynasty is far better than the Qing Dynasty in all kinds of things, even if I eat it, I can't lose to Qianlong's grandson going to the south of the Yangtze River!
It's a pity that there is no Internet and mobile phones now, otherwise Lao Li will definitely become the top food blogger on the website.
It's not that no one has advised him to pay attention to his body.
Li Fuming always wanted to persuade Lao Li to lose weight.
Lao Li has indeed strengthened his exercise, doing aerobics on the deck and so on.
However, weight gain instead of weight loss has no effect.
"Niezi! All of you have bad intentions and want me to avoid it! Unlike Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord only loves this old slave!"
In the end, this matter can only be done.
……
After taking the medicine, Lao Li twisted his waist several times, then opened the door and went to the lecture hall.
Under the bright glazed chandelier, soft white light was projected into the lecture hall, and about a hundred Chinese teenagers were all sitting upright.
When they saw that mountain-like stalwart warrior coming, an indescribable sense of security and steadfastness came to their hearts.
They clapped their hands vigorously, they didn't feel pain even when they turned red, and shouted: "Long live the Son of Heaven! Long live the motherland! The admiral is safe!"
Lao Li smiled, and slightly pressed down his fat hands, and the venue suddenly fell silent.
"My compatriots, Mr. Xia will teach you personally today!"
"Everyone knows that this admiral is a servant of the emperor, and Mr. Xia is the deputy priest of my Daming Imperial College, and he can be regarded as the emperor's junior, so his knowledge is not comparable to that of this admiral or those before him. If everyone has Any confusion, you can ask Xia Jijiu to answer."
Although Lao Li is the admiral of the Jinghai Fleet in name, he is not responsible for navigation and military affairs, nor is he responsible for educating the people. His main role is as a mascot.
When dealing with the Governor-General of British Malaya, Lao Li was a fat eunuch with a naive attitude and harmless to humans and animals. When dealing with the Chinese, Lao Li was a mighty, majestic and oppressive successor of Zheng He.
One person with two sides, seamlessly switching for the benefit of Daming.
The other two deputy admirals, one is Liu Yifeng, a major of the Navy, and the other is Xia Zhixin, who is in charge of cultural propaganda and education.
However, for a week, Xia Zhixin did not teach in the Dongxue Hall, but his students, as well as the North Koreans like Moon Moo-hyun, took over the lectures.
Xia Zhixin is leading the Daming "Scientific Expedition Team" to investigate birds, vegetation, and fossils in various places in Penang!
Anyone who knows what the so-called "scientific expedition team" does.
Even in later generations, there are a lot of 50 people walking in small Japan, carrying out various illegal surveying and espionage activities in our country, and they all use high-sounding titles like bird researchers.
Although Daming does not have the strength to touch Nanyang in the short term, in the long run, even if it is only for rubber resources, Daming will seize Nanyang sooner or later.
This time, taking advantage of the post-disaster reconstruction and the weak strength of the various colonial governments, Daming naturally had to make preparations early.
And besides surveying, mapping and investigation, the Daming Scientific Expedition Team has achieved a lot!
Because when the Ming Fleet docked at Flores Island, Xia Zhixin’s scientific research team successfully found the world’s first ancient human fossil — Flores Human fossils!
Flores is a group of upright humans different from modern Homo sapiens. Adult males are only 1 meter tall, so they are also called hobbits.
Of course, in this dimension, he is named Tuxingsun.
Tuxingsun Man is a variant of the dwarfing of East Asian Homo erectus trapped on an island.
They survived until more than 1 years ago, after modern Homo sapiens had spread all over the world.
Even in the legends of the local aborigines, there were incidents of "dwarfs" stealing babies hundreds of years ago.
Due to their late survival, their fossils are easier to dig.
Xia Zhixin's team found these fossils easily.
In addition to bringing most of it back to the Royal Museum, he also sent a small finger bone of the Tuxingsun man to Oxford University, who was preparing to go out to collect evidence while arguing with the priests in accordance with Zhu Fugui's instructions. Charles Robert Darwin.
And tell him, want conclusive evidence for evolution?
Want to fill in all the missing links between monkeys and humans?
Let's go to Fengdu!
I put everything there!
There you will get all the answers!
Chapter 404 Which is better, Ming or Qing?
It's not that Zhu Fugui wants to help Darwin, or recruit the former founder of the theory of evolution.
After all, in this time and space, the founder of the theory of evolution is mere talent, because he is rich and valuable.
What bad thoughts could Zhu Fugui have?
Of course, it's still for cultural value.
"Da Ming Royal Journal" has been published for quite a long time, but it has not replaced "Science", "Nature", and "Cell" as imagined, and has become a science palace where scientists from all over the world rush to submit articles, attracting them to crave Subscribe and contribute.
In later generations, controlling the right to speak in the review of papers is equivalent to controlling the promotion channel for scientific and technological scholars in a country, which is an important part of technological hegemony.
And these foreign scientists are so ignorant of good and bad, and they don't take the initiative to offer their butts, which makes Zhu Fugui very distressed.
Of course, science and technology have national boundaries.
This is true in this era, and it will be true in the future.
In other words, publishing papers on confidential research is very sensitive.
For example, in order to deal with Ming’s ammonium nitrate gunpowder and France’s cellulose nitrate smokeless gunpowder, the British Empire, which is behind in this technology, is sending spies to steal it while researching its own compressed black powder black technology.
It is impossible to publish papers on the research and development of these three types of gunpowder.
But many basic theoretical sciences can publish papers.
For example, the famous mass-energy formula in Einstein's "Special Theory of Relativity" is closely related to the ultimate weapon such as the atomic bomb, but no one would ever think that "Special Theory of Relativity" is confidential and cannot be published.
Because an E=MC^2 is absolutely impossible for people to rub out an atomic bomb with a slap on the head.
Both "Science" and "Nature" in later generations are open source, but it is absolutely impossible for late-developing industrial countries to create industrial equipment and produce cutting-edge biological agents based on these papers.
This is all fantasy.
However, the chemical equation similar to nitrocellulose is very easy for people to deduce the preparation process.
In any case, "The Evolution of Species" is the best breakthrough for "Daming Royal Science Journal" to gain fame.
First of all, it is really harmless to humans and animals, and does not involve any areas that need to be kept secret.
Second, the theory that humans evolved from apes is very eye-catching, and biology, it seems, the threshold is relatively low, anyone can talk a few words, who hasn't seen cats and dogs yet?The whole people have a strong sense of participation, and there is a lot of room for civil science to play.
In recent years, the relationship between the evolution of orangutans has become a controversial topic that everyone from the clergy of the Vatican Church to the peddlers in the streets of London are familiar with and talk about. Once the Ming Dynasty conquers it with a final decision, Fengdu will become a holy place for biology.
In addition, Zhu Fugui felt that Darwin was seduced, and in front of him, he presented a far more perfect and cutting-edge research system than him, and it was supported by abundant fossils.
The goddess I have been pursuing all my life has long been a plaything that others are too familiar with. I don't know how wonderful his expression will be.
Pure Love God of War occasionally experiences the thrill of a tauren warrior, and Zhu Fugui thinks it will be very fun.
……
All in all, the rich research results of the Daming scientific expedition team successfully bluffed the British.
After all, it is not possible to find fossils overnight, and this group of wise people must have made arduous efforts.
And they give way too much.
Natural disasters + bribery + admirals who are harmless to humans and animals + serious scientific research, so that Ming was basically not under any surveillance in Nanyang.
Military survey drawings, spies and intelligence networks, and coconut milk cannery factories all appeared on the Nanyang Islands.
"Drinking from childhood to adulthood!"
This catchy slogan and the vulgar but popular packaging style were shamelessly copied by Zhu Fugui.
The Donghak Hall left over from various places will be transformed into a simple coconut milk canning factory, using glass bottles to make canned coconut meat and coconut milk.
This can not only cover the existence of the Donghak organization, but also provide work-for-relief to help Chinese workers who lost their jobs due to the disaster and organize them.
These canneries certainly don't aim to make a profit.
However, Daming's fleet would regularly come to buy canned food and distribute them to Shanghai, the Governor's Office of Washima Island, and all over North America, so it shouldn't lose money.
In fact, the rubber trade in Nanyang is the most profitable. However, Dai Ying has already imposed a rubber embargo on Daming along with France, the Netherlands, and Spain. scale smuggling.
Therefore, Daming mainly took root in Nanyang in the form of a cannery merchant, while spreading Dongxue, while waiting for the opportunity.
……
Brown's rubber estate was sold to a Portuguese, and Wu Peng was not included in the property list of the rubber estate.
He has already made up his mind that he will work in a canning factory in the future to repay the kindness of Lord Long Live and Admiral Li.
He and the younger sister beside him were all devoutly listening to Professor Xia Zhixin's lecture on the stage.
On the other side, Gu Hongming gradually frowned.
Because he found that the so-called Donghak does not seem to be a religion, but more like some kind of political propaganda.
According to this Mr. Xia, the West is actually a barbaric, rude, and disgusting world.
The Western colonists are a group of hypocritical and cruel executioners and villains.
This is completely different from the three views he has formed over the past ten years.
Gu Hongming felt that his godfather Brown was not the kind of person these Ming people said.
It was a civilized gentleman, taking great care of himself, with a noble character of pity and kindness.
And the Westerners who brought civilization and order to the East are not the so-called invaders.
In other words, even if it is aggression, it is replacing barbarism with civilization for the purpose of enlightening and benefiting everyone.
Gu Hongming didn't know why Wu Peng and Wu Xiaomei were fascinated by the ridiculous remarks.
And almost all the listeners in the auditorium, except myself, seemed to be taught to agree.
Finally, Mr. Xia on the stage closed the handout and said with a smile: "My compatriots, there is still some time. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands and ask. I will try my best to answer."
Gu Hongming was about to raise his hand, but he found that Wu Peng beside him raised his hand abruptly, completely different from the submissive temperament he used to be.
However, although he was very active in raising his hands, Wu Peng was still very nervous when he was really called on. He held back for a while, and finally summoned up the courage to ask: "That... Xia Jijiu... I want to ask... Daming and Daqing... who is bigger?"
"Which is greater, Ming or Qing?"
Xia Zhixin was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.
In his early years, Xia Zhixin taught the children in his hometown of Houguan in Fujian.
He still remembers that a child in the class asked him a similar question at that time——Which is greater, Qing or Ming?Which is bigger, Qing or Ying?What about the country of Rakshasa?
That child was named Yan Fu, and he was about the same size as the young man in front of him.
I don't know how he is now, is he still curious about the world?
Shaking his head, Xia Zhixin smiled and said, "Brother, I don't know if you mean big. Do you mean the population? Or the land? Or warships and chariots, soldiers armored with money and food, bachelors in agriculture and business?"
Wu Peng didn't understand this, but Xia Zhixin didn't make things difficult for him, but clapped his hands and directed the assistant to bring up the slide projector.
The assistant coach hadn't shown his face much before, but at this time, the town was full of exclamations.
Because she is a woman, and a foreign woman.
