Chapter 120 The Ming Dynasty conducted maritime trade and colonial rule began!
After Ye Xuan presented the shuttle, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer showed off Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding technology and giant ships to Ye Xuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned directly to the palace.
royal palace.
The splendid palace, with golden glazed tiles and vermilion walls, is extremely majestic.
Zhu Yuanzhang is sitting on the golden nanmu dragon chair on the steps of the main hall, wearing a black Wing Shan crown with two dragons playing with beads, a yellow robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, and a jade belt around his waist [exuding the majesty of an emperor.
He looked down at the Ministry of Works officials kneeling on the blue bricks at the bottom of the steps.
Officials from the Ministry of Works looked panic-stricken.
As soon as the ship was built, the emperor asked them to enter the palace to have an audience.
Why so anxious?
Is there something wrong with the manufactured ship?
It shouldn't be.
These are all made by top shipwrights.
Moreover, the shipbuilding technology was obtained from the top shipwrights from Chen Youliang.
The boats produced should all be world-class.
There shouldn't be a problem. Officials from the "420" Ministry of Industry were panic-stricken.
Thinking about what went wrong.
What if there really is something wrong with the ship?
That would cost you your head.
Maybe the nine tribes will be implicated.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"I know I was wrong!"
"Give me another chance to change my ways!"
"I will definitely change my past mistakes!"
“Make the boat better!!”
Thinking that they would lose their heads, even implicate the nine tribes, and lose the lives of their own children, these officials from the Ministry of Industry shed tears and kowtowed, begging for mercy again and again.
I just hope that I will die alone.
Don't bring trouble to your wife, children, and children.
"Your Majesty, I have a sixty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child."
"I beg the Emperor to be kind and spare them."
"If you want to chop off, just chop off one of my heads!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he looked at the Ministry of Industry officials below who were crying and shouting for mercy.
Then a black line appeared on his forehead.
He hasn't said anything yet.
These guys just cried.
Is he so scary?
"shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.
"If you cry again and make us upset, I will kill you all!"
Loud shouts echoed in the hall.
There are endless twists and turns.
The officials from the Ministry of Industry closed their sobbing mouths one after another, with tears welling up in their eyes.
Want to cry.
But dare not cry.
Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples.
what happened?
This group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with it.
Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled heavily and tried to say in a gentle tone:
“We’re not going to chop off your heads.
"The ship you built is very good."
"We are very satisfied."
The mournful face of the official from the Ministry of Industry suddenly froze, and then turned to joy.
Is there any problem with the boat?
Not about the ship?
They peeked cautiously above.
"Your Majesty, it's not about the ship. Why are you summoning us to the palace in such a hurry?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, but said to the eunuch beside him:
"Bring up the shuttle loom."
"Here.
The eunuch went down and ordered the sergeant to carry the shuttle loom into the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the shuttle loom and said:
"Give us mass production of this shuttle loom."
“The more the merrier!”
"We want to promote the Ming Dynasty's weaving technology overseas, let the whole world know how powerful our Ming Dynasty weaving technology is, and sell the fabrics woven by the Ming Dynasty overseas."
"Do you understand?"
The officials from the Ministry of Industry were stunned again and again.
That's it?
Their hearts finally dropped.
Officials from the Ministry of Industry responded one after another:
"yes!"
“The Ministry of Industry will definitely go all out.
"Mass production of shuttle looms."
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied with the attitude of the officials from the Ministry of Industry and nodded.
His warship has been built.
The Armada is also built.
After that, the shuttle looms were built, and the shuttle looms produced cloth in large quantities. These cloths would be spread overseas with their Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet.
but.
Before the shuttle loom was built, they could also show their Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet.
Ye Xuan said it before.
Products from the Ming Dynasty, such as cotton, tea, porcelain, etc., can be transported by the Invincible Fleet and traded southward with those countries.
Shuttle looms only affect the efficiency of weaving.
The Ming Dynasty now has so much cotton, tea, porcelain and other items that it can form a fleet and sail at any time.
first.
Can conduct commercial trade with those countries.
Secondly.
You can secretly inquire about the national conditions of those countries.
Maybe we can find those underdeveloped countries.
Then let the vassal king raise his troops to attack.
Conquer all underdeveloped countries and make them colonies.
One stone kills many people.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked officials from the Ministry of Industry to go back and mass-produce shuttle looms, and then he ordered the formation of a fleet to carry out Ming porcelain, tea, cloth and other items on a long voyage.
A few days later.
Royal study room.
Zhu Yuanzhang was handling the memorial, and the officials below came to report it.
"emperor."
"The fleet for long-distance trade has been formed."
"Sailing soon."
"Do you want to go to the port in person to watch the fleet depart?"
Such an important thing.
It is related to the future of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not slack off……
"Call the prince."
"Let him go to the port with us.
The eunuch next to him responded, and then went to School Disciple to inform Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his party headed to the port in a mighty manner.
port.
blue sea, blue sky.
The ocean is boundless.
On the horizon, the blue sky seems to be connected with the ocean.
The salty sea breeze blows constantly.
Dozens of warships were parked in the port, with countless soldiers and people standing on them, densely packed.
They continued to transport boxes of Ming Dynasty specialties such as tea, porcelain, cotton cloth, etc. onto the warships.
"hurry up!"
"Don't dawdle!!"
shouted the sergeants.
urging.
When Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others arrived at the port, they saw a busy scene.
The port officials were shocked when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang.
"emperor!"
"The Emperor is here!"
Everyone in the port saluted in unison, and the shouts were like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, sweeping the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"Let's each do our own thing.
"Don't worry about us."
"Don't delay your voyage.
"yes!"
the port official responded.
Then continue to let the workers transport things onto the warship.
The port was busy.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the busy figures and ordered the generals next to him who were about to lead the fleet to trade with other countries.
"We'll let you do sea trade."
“On the one hand, there’s going to be commercial trade.”
"Bringing our Ming Dynasty's specialties, cotton cloth, porcelain, and tea, to the whole world."
"on the other hand."
"When you trade 1.3 with those small foreign countries, remember to inquire about their national conditions."
"A weak barbarian country."
"Write it all down on the map."
"These weak foreign barbarian countries will be included in our Ming Dynasty's territory in the future and become our Ming Dynasty's colonies."
"I tell you these things because I believe you."
"Don't let it out."
The leading general had a serious face and clasped his hands.
"yes!"
"The final general will definitely fulfill his mission and fulfill the emperor's entrustment!"
Then, dozens of warships set sail.
"Set sail!!"
"Set sail!!"
"Everyone get out of the way!!!"
“Stay away from the port area!!!”
Shouts rang out.
Dozens of warships gradually sailed away.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched.
There was great pride in my heart.
The Ming Dynasty's maritime empire and colonial rule are about to begin.
