My Daming New Empire

Page 854

Monte was trembling with excitement, looked at Mengzheng and said: "This time when you return to Daming, you have to work hard and serve Daming. If you can really get the title of His Majesty, I will leave [-]% for you every time you make a profit from trade. For your expenses in Europe."

The official title of Ming Dynasty can only be obtained by military merit.Other than that, there are only titles of honor.Like those civil servants, even if they were granted the title of duke because of their hard work, it was only a title for life, and their descendants could not inherit it, let alone a fief.

Previously, for this title, even if he had to sacrifice his family property, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.

And Huang Ting promised a low title, which can be passed on to the Mongolian side.If Mengzheng can also obtain an official title, it means that their Meng family has broken away from their immigration status and become a real Daming person.

Chapter 15 The prince died again

February thirteenth.It is suitable for burial.

Zhu Zhanji's 66-year-old Longevity Day has passed four days, and the funeral of Fu Guogong Huang Yuan was held in Yingtianfu.

This time Zhu Zhanji presided over the funeral in person, and was crowned King of Fujun, buried in Zhongshan with the ceremony of the king of the county, and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao.

This can be said to be the top of a courtier, and there is no other glory that can be compared.

When Huang Ting held his father's tablet and enshrined it in the main hall of the Taimiao in the imperial city, it attracted the envy of countless civil and military officials.

The Ming Dynasty was founded 95 years ago, and now it is the "third generation" of emperors. There are less than 30 ministers who can share the Taimiao, and only 11 people who can share the main hall, and Huang Yuan is No. 12.

The Taimiao is a special place for worshiping directly by the emperor's family, so generally only the ancestors of the emperor can enjoy this honor.

Ordinary imperial relatives are not eligible, they must be close relatives or imperial relatives who have made great contributions to the country, and even ministers who have made great contributions to the country can enjoy the treatment of the Taimiao after death with the emperor's permission.

Since then, these ministers can also enjoy the emperor's personal sacrifice, as long as the younger generations do not commit the crime of treason, they can basically guarantee wealth and glory.

Even Huang Yuan's wife, Yun Niang, did not expect the emperor to be so kind to her. She, who was always indifferent, couldn't control her emotions and cried bitterly.

The next day, at noon.Zhu Zhanji summoned other members of the Huang clan who had returned from Nanzhou, each with a reward.In the end, Huang Ting successfully inherited the title of Duke of Fuguo, and descended three generations later.

However, today's Daming's title and function have been intentionally separated. Although Huang Ting has now become the Duke of Fu, his position is still the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Zhu Zhanji, Huang Xuan's grandson, did not forget either. After consulting the Huang family's opinion, he was transferred to the Xiamaqiao Institute of Chemistry.

For the Huang family, Huang Yuan's death was like the sky falling and lost a pillar, but for Daming, this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Life still goes on, and the brothels along the Qinhuai River are still full of feasting and feasting.

For the entire Ming Dynasty, the mainland is flourishing, Nanzhou is peaceful, and Dongzhou is peaceful.Although there were some wars in Xizhou, it was just that Ming's army was bullying people.

The clean government has relieved Zhu Zhanji a lot recently. What he is most concerned about now is the confrontation between the Western Regions and the white people.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji didn't take the white people in Europe seriously. Without Dongzhou's resources, they were confined to Europe, so they couldn't develop in this time and space.

Zhu Zhanji deliberately kept them, not because of mercy, but just to leave Daming with a foreign enemy.

No one is more aware of the Huaxia people's ability to fight internally than him. If Daming had no foreign enemies, his own people would definitely fight their brains out.

Leaving a Europe without much threat not only provides an opportunity for military training, but also makes everyone feel prepared for danger in times of peace.

Therefore, he will not go out of his way to destroy European countries, no matter it is tactical or strategic, it is not worthwhile.

And there is another very important point, that is, civilization needs competition and needs to continue to develop.

Without foreign enemies, Zhu Zhanji has no doubt that Daming will lie on the credit book and wait to die.There have been too many such things in history.

In such an environment, no matter politics, law, civilization, or economy, technology will stagnate.

The outbreak of war often promotes the development of society in an all-round way.

From the First World War to the Second World War, the development of the world was that kind of leap-forward development.

Like later generations, the world's industry, electricity, technology, medicine, etc., are all based on the foundation laid during the Second World War.

The world's aircraft, automobiles, guns, including the foundation of industrial technology, were all established at that time.

After World War II, it was not until the computer age that there was another significant improvement.

Did later scientists become stupid?

No, just because there is no pressure of competition, the pressure of survival.

Now because of the suppression of the West by the East, Zhu Zhanji has no doubt that the Europeans will actively learn the advanced technology of Ming Dynasty and strengthen their own strength.

Zhu Zhanji expected them to do this. Only in this way would the scientists of Ming Dynasty be nervous.

Although today's Daming has developed rapidly in some applied technologies and applied industries, this is based on Zhu Zhanji's deliberate overthrow of seedlings.

The development of industry and science and technology in Daming is still very uneven. It can manufacture cars because of Zhu Zhanji's request, and it can manufacture steam tractors and diesel engines because there are too many lands in Daming that no one cultivates.

But with such a technical reserve, no one could think of building tanks.

Daming's current musket reserves have changed from repeating guns to AK47-style semi-automatic rifles. This was only developed to this point under Zhu Zhanji's strict requirements.

However, because there was no request from Zhu Zhanji, the Ming army did not have high expectations for artillery. Therefore, today's Daming gun manufacturing technology has reached the late World War II, but the artillery manufacturing technology has not even reached World War I.

This is only what Zhu Zhanji is concerned about, and in the entire industrial field, the problem of unbalanced development is even more serious.

For example, the high temperature resistance of automobile engine cylinder alloys is a high-tech issue in later generations, because Zhu Zhanji understands the application of aluminum alloys, and has been able to ensure stability in the manufacture of cylinders, pistons, and piston rings.

But in terms of a small rubber oil seal, Daming couldn't guarantee the quality.

Because of a small oil seal problem, the quality of Daming's cars and aircraft cannot be guaranteed, and aircraft often have problems.

Fortunately, this is the era of propeller planes. Even if the plane has some problems, it can make an emergency landing. Otherwise, I don’t know how many accidents will happen.

It's not that those technicians don't study hard, but because of the imperfection of the entire industrial system, there are many shortcomings.

People simply don't have the basis for this kind of knowledge reserve. If you talk about TV to an ancient man, can he understand what it is?

But generally speaking, because of this uneven development, all walks of life in Daming have a clear purpose, so the filling of the entire industrial system is still very fast.

But there is another serious problem, that is, all of this is now being carried out under the active promotion of Zhu Zhanji.

The entire social needs of the Ming Dynasty today are not up to the development needs of future generations, and the cultural knowledge reserve and people's ideology still need to be strengthened.

It's more important than anything!

However, although Zhu Zhanji knows that he should develop in this direction and combine the needs of society with people's pursuits, there is no better way.

To improve the national quality of the entire country, all he can know is to strengthen education and publicity.

To improve the needs of the society and the pursuit of the people, he only knows that he should expand domestic demand and lead the social trend.

When it comes to deeper plans, he is actually just half a bottle of water.

Therefore, he wants to keep the white people in Europe and turn them into catfish, so as not to turn the world into a pool of stagnant water.
