Chapter 155 Yun Zhao wants to drink coffee

Zhang Liang is right.

As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, the highest priority is new science.

On the old road of people's livelihood, after thousands of years of continuous development, it has developed to the extreme.

Whether it is industry and commerce, or agriculture and animal husbandry, or the primitive service industry, the Chinese nation has indeed reached its peak, in fact, in the Song Dynasty, these things have basically reached the peak, and later because of the existence of Mengyuan, it has been reclocked for many years.

If the old barriers are not broken, the new world will not come.

Therefore, Yun Zhao wanted to take advantage of the new discipline to take advantage of the rise of the new discipline to give Daming a head start.

Any technical thing, as long as it is one step ahead, in the future, it will be the first step by step, this is related to the great cause of the future, and anyone who wants to hinder Yun Zhao's plan can be eradicated.

Just like Alexander VII!

It's just a little pope, if you kill it, you will kill it, Yun Zhao won't have such a useless emotion as guilt.

In his eyes, one Descartes was worth killing ten popes.

Obviously, Mr. Descartes did not have this self-consciousness, and he vaguely felt that the death of the pope would not be so simple, and that it could not even be done by Ottoman the Magnificent, which is very illogical.

The act of assassination is actually tacit among high-ranking nobles...... Because, today, the Pope was assassinated, then, in a short time, there will be various assassinations against Ottoman the Magnificent.

Moreover, over the years, the Ottomans have stabilized a lot, and the current Ottoman Emperor is not a hero, and he can't even be called a king, basically, he is a mediocre talent.

Killing the Pope at this time could easily cause the European vassal states to launch a new crusade.

This was definitely not something that Ottoman the Great could afford.

The death of the pope seems to have been of great benefit to the Roman princely states, as well as to France, England, Spain, etc., which were able to stop considering religious factors as political constraints for a short time until a new pope was elected.

Therefore, Mr. Descartes thought that there were many people who wanted to kill the pope, but Ottoman the Great was the one who did not want to kill the pope.

Actually, Mr. Descartes was right, but he only missed the value of himself and the leaders of this new discipline.

He thought that his group was not as valuable as the Pope.

What he didn't know was that if he didn't go to Daming again this time, it would be impossible for this kind of killing to stop.

The battleship Huashan waited in the port of Marseille for another ten days, and then another one hundred and nineteen men came to this ship, so that the ship was overcrowded, and the captain gave an order, and all the sailors and soldiers vacated their cabins for these distinguished guests.

They themselves moved into the dreary, damp bilge.

When the ship was full, the Huashan left the port of Marseille.

On the third day after the Huashan left the port of Marseille, the chief inquisition of the Spanish Inquisition ruled that Monsieur Descartes was a heretic......

The officials of the Ming Dynasty spared no effort in promoting Mr. Descartes' defection to the Ming Dynasty, and there was a beginning and an end, and the strength of the team was brought into full play, at this moment, even if Mr. Descartes regretted it, he had no way out.

The huge battleship Huashan cleaving the waves on the surface of the sea gave little Descartes a new feeling, and he pointed to the seagulls flying on the sea surface and asked Zhang Liang.

"Teacher, can I fantasize about the life of Daming now?"

Zhang Liang smiled: "Naturally, I can guarantee that your life in Daming is more than ten times better than your fantasy life." ”

"Can I go on a trip?"

"Of course you can, but if you are a student of Yushan Academy, you must first be assessed, as long as the assessment is over, you will have to leave the academy and go wherever you want, and you don't have to spend your own money."

"I heard that the city of Chang'an is a city that never sleeps, where can people have fun all night?"

"That's right, where there are countless delicacies, there are can't see enough singing and dancing, every time it comes to the moment when the lights come on, Chang'an City is a city that never sleeps."

"Can I go?"

"Of course, but you have to be careful not to overdo it, don't miss the last train back to the academy."

"Teacher, you said that you need to grab a meal in the academy? Why don't they cook more? ”

"The food is plentiful, everyone can eat a lot, but I don't know when everyone likes to be the first to get food, and it eventually becomes a tradition.

However, you think, the bell rings for dinner, and the sight of thousands of people rushing towards the cafeteria with lunch boxes is still very spectacular. ”

"Oh, well, looks like I need to get in too."

"Yes, the one who eats first will snatch the essence of the food."

"Teacher, I want to compete for the national character qualification."

"There's no need to be shy, this is a good thing, if you think you have good knowledge, you can participate, of course, in addition to the knowledge of the competition, martial arts is also an important factor, you need to defeat a group of people by yourself, I said that there are at least forty-nine people in a group!"

"Teacher, you are also very knowledgeable, why didn't you win the honor of the national character?"

Zhang Liang gasped like a toothache and said: "This is a tragic story where those who see it are sad and those who hear it cry......"

"I must get the honor of the national character."

"Hahaha, you have a chance, Descartes, I would love to call you Descartes in the future!"

The same conversation, Zhang Liang has said many times these days.

I have also explained it countless times.

After spending a long time with the Ming soldiers, you will find that they are a group of very polite people, and the emotions of the people who were originally worried finally eased down.

However, Zhang Liang still hated it, because, until now, only Mr. Descartes had not asked about the treatment after arriving in Daming.

Along the way, the warship Huashan defeated many pirates, including Blackbeard, Yellowbeard, and Redbeard.

Captain Lai Dingcheng's hands were very dark.

Along the way, close the cannon windows to lure those crazy pirates to rob, kill robbers along the way, and from time to time drop the boat and send out a small team to clean up the pirate ship, collecting goods and supplies at the same time.

This method works well, and when the pirates see a huge merchant ship alone on the sea, many pirates want to try their luck, and after a chase, the pirates disappear forever.

After doing so, Lai Dingcheng originally commanded a ship, but after crossing the Devil's Sea at the Cape of Good Hope, one of his ships had become a small fleet of six schooners.

Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, the fleet slowly headed north along the African coastline.

Descartes, who had not left the cabin for a long time, came to the deck with his cane.

He first looked at the blue sea, and saw that Lai Dingcheng was studying a drawing with Zhang Liang, so he came over curiously, because he found that these two people were studying a map of Africa.

Mr. Descartes looked at the map of Africa in their hands and whispered, "Are you also going to capture black slaves?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Mr. Descartes, the Ming Dynasty never captures black slaves, nor does it sell black slaves. ”

Mr. Descartes looked at Zhang Liang and said: "As far as I know, Portugal and Spain have embarked on the road of colonial expansion, and just last year, Britain, France, and the Netherlands have also begun to capture black slaves, which they think is a profitable business.

Why, wasn't the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom interested in this kind of business? “

Lai Dingcheng said: "Your Excellency, if you let the Ming Navy fleet do such a thing, I think it will be a humiliation to us soldiers." ”

Mr. Descartes looked at Lai Dingcheng appreciatively and said, "You are an upright man. ”

Lai Dingcheng said: "When Your Excellency arrives in Daming, you will know that His Majesty the Emperor is an upright person. ”

Descartes said, "I'm looking forward to it, but what are you doing on the map of Africa?" ”

Lai Dingcheng said: "We all agree that the division of the world by Europeans is unscientific. ”

"Oh? Why, as far as I know, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, North America are quite realistic. ”

Descartes hated the slave traders, but he still valued the right to name geographically.

Lai Dingcheng said: "The main thing is that this division is very unfair to my Ming Dynasty, we are the center of this world, since ancient times we are China, the country of the center, a country of the center of the country, but we are arranged in Asia, this is a humiliation to our Majesty and the Ming Dynasty."

They ought to consult our Majesty when formulating such a term. ”

Descartes didn't get angry, but just smiled and said, "What do you think should be changed?" ”

Lai Dingcheng said: "It's very convenient, it's good to change Asia to Zhongzhou, and then add Yaozhou and Antarctica, so that the map will be very complete, and when you arrive in Daming, you should be able to see such a world map." ”

Mr. Descartes nodded and left the deck, looking a little gloomy.

Zhang Liang watched Mr. Descartes leave, and nodded secretly, he felt that Lai Dingcheng slowly told Mr. Descartes a real Ming in this way, there are only benefits, no harm.

Mr. Descartes, who returned to the cabin, stood behind Descartes Jr. and watched him do the problem, and when Descartes Jr. finally solved the problem, Mr. Descartes handed Descartes a cup of tea and said: "The people of the Ming Kingdom have the determination to change the world. ”

Little Descartes said, "How do you know?" ”

Mr. Descartes told his grandson what had just happened.

Little Descartes smiled: "They discovered Yaozhou, discovered Antarctica, and in order to make the world map look more symmetrical, they used Asia as the center of the world map, I thought it was nothing." ”

Mr. Descartes frowned slightly, and said to little Descartes: "You can follow that Mr. Zhang Liang to do your studies, but I will not allow you to participate in the slave trade, which is a very dishonorable act, and no one with a conscience should participate." ”

Descartes Jr. said: "As far as I know, the Ming people have never been involved in such a thing as the slave trade. ”

Mr. Descartes sighed, "They were working on a map of Africa, and I saw that they had drawn a circle in Ethiopia, and it seemed that this time, their target was Ethiopia." ”

Little Descartes couldn't help but laugh when he heard his grandfather say this, he took his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandfather, this time they are going to Ethiopia, but not to trade slaves, but to do a business with the emperor of Ethiopia." ”

"What kind of business? I don't think there's anything in those poor people that deserve to be traded for something. ”

"Coffee, grandfather, the teacher has already told me, and he wants me to participate in this transaction."
