Chapter 868:Intervening in Sea Trade

“In the next thought, your majesty wants to teach the science and technology of Tessie.”The task of Feng Yuanhua and Wang Wei was to study firearms, while Song Yingxing was responsible for studying crops, and it was recalled that he had always relied on Tesi's science and technology to establish contacts with the doctor after coming to Daming, so Tang Jowang was so speculative.

"What Mr. Tang said is that I have been very inclusive and inclusive since ancient times."From Tang and Song to Daming, the elites of Huaxia are extremely interested in the knowledge of foreign countries, the former Wang Xuanze brought back sugar technology after the tianzhu, the zodiac master also learned advanced textile technology from the Li people, these technologies were also learned from the Li people, these technologies were also in the Central Plains, and now the famous science and technology has begun to lag behind the West, so Li You also did not mind these missionaries.Dou together translated the original geometry of the classic Western works, so I hope that Mr. Tang will inherit the cause of Mr. Ricci, organize the missionaries in the Ming Dynasty, and translate all Western scientific works.”

Li You's scientific knowledge has been far beyond the limitations of this era in some areas, but it is probably unrealistic for him to reproduce and write various teaching materials, so he will put his hopes on these missionaries of Tesi, of course, this matter can not be all left to them to do, "I will let Mr. Xu Guangqi preside over this matter, Mr. Tang You led the missionaries in Daming to assist Mr. Xu to carry out this work, I don't know if Mr. Tang is willing?" 」

Xu Guangqi has converted to Catholicism under the influence of Ricci, so Tang Jowang is very satisfied with this candidate, and he also thinks that he can cooperate well with Xu Guangqi, but the reason why he came to Daming across the ocean is not to spread scientific knowledge, so he did not immediately agree, but asked Li You another question, "Your Majesty, please only allow translation of scientific works?"Or can other translations, such as some articles on doctrine?”Spreading faith is Tang John’s most fundamental desire, so he would rather risk angering Li You and ask a question.

“If you translate articles that satisfy me and act in accordance with the laws of the Ming, then I will not only allow you to translate such articles, but also build a church for you in Kyoto and allow you to preach in certain areas.”In order to gain this knowledge, Li Yu had to make some concessions.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great willingness to do this work.”At last he got the answer he wanted, and the excited Tang Johan immediately agreed, "in the next time, we will gather all the missionaries who know scientific knowledge in the territory of Daming to Beijing to carry out this great cause, if not enough, you can ask Macao, the South Ocean, and even Taixi for help, and ask them to send more missionaries who meet the requirements to do this work."

"Well, I also need you to assemble craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding to help Daming build new ships."At this time, the drawings of the battleships that relied on the treasure ship and Zheng's success seemed to be insufficient, so Li You once again thought of looking for more advanced warships from the Taisi countries.

Daming's coastal defense can not always rely on Zheng Zhilong, Daming eventually needs to build his own navy, and to establish the navy must have a boat, it is conceivable that this will be a long work, because the reward of the Navy can be more difficult than the 6th army of the preparation of a star, 15 years I am afraid that only enough to plant a seed.

“Do your best to do this.”Today, the construction of warships is not considered to be the secret of the strict control of all countries, but in order to spread the glory of God to the East, Tang John is willing to take risks.

"Well, then, go down first, and my appointment will be made later."Tang John also solved, then the people who came to see him today were only Zheng Zhifeng, and Li You gave orders, waiting for Zheng Zhifeng for a long time to come close to the study under the leadership of Cao Huaxuan, and hurriedly knelt down to worship the mountain.

“Get up.”This person is different from the previous literary people, the dark skin in the dark eyes of a hint of cruelty and thorny, but Zheng Zhifeng before this in front of Li You is not worth mentioning, he showed a little momentum to Zheng Zhifeng to raise his head, he did not know that in front of the emperor's majesty, but they have just killed more than 30,000 murderers.

“Zheng Zhifeng, why didn’t Zheng Zhilong come?”Dealing with these rough people does not need to be so kind, Li You asked.

"After receiving His Majesty's will, the family brother moved in an inexorable, but I would like to leave the north to come to Beijing to see, but unfortunately, unfortunately, my brother was infected with the epidemic, it was really impossible to move, and the brother was afraid of delaying His Majesty's major events, so he sent the grass people to Beijing first."Judith gave the excuse that was already ready.

This is also a good excuse, Li You does not want to continue to entanglement, so he asked directly, "Then your Zheng family brothers are willing to do my job?"

“This is the honor of the grass people, but there is a will, and my brother will not leave even if he goes through the fire.”Shocked by Li Yu's momentum, Zheng Zhifeng did not dare to refuse the slightest, of course, promising now and whether to do it in the future is two different things.

"I want you to do two things, the first of which, I know that your Zheng family now almost monopolizes Da Ming's trade with overseas, so I intend to supply you."Now the main products of foreign trade are silk, tea, porcelain and other things, and in Nanjing and Nanjing weaving eunuchs, in the tea and porcelain also have the insider involved, so that such means can first share some interests from the sea trade, used to expand their inner library, the second is to take away the interests from the hands of Jiangnan gentry, gradually weaken their strength.

“I don’t know how much money your majesty can offer.”If you can get a stable supply channel of goods, it is also extremely beneficial to Zhengjia, Zheng Zhifeng is excited.

"You and Cao Huaxun to talk about this matter, in addition, you need to say in advance, this sea trade is to pay taxes."Sea trade has created countless rich people, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not get much benefit from it, "of course, the specific amount also let Cao Huaxun and you say, you can rest assured that the beginning will not be too high."

“The grass people obeyed the instructions, dare to ask your majesty what is one more thing?”Zheng Zhifeng asked.
