Many traditions don't change overnight.

However, when the news of the draft of the "Daming Succession Law" came out, it still caused a lot of waves in the world. At this time, no one knew that a few months later, that is, the Xungui Federation established at the beginning of the fourth year of Xingqian and the "Xungui Succession Law" had an impact on the Ming Dynasty, but later generations will have the greatest impact on the Ming Dynasty.

The people of the four years of Xingqian did not know that although the "young sons" of those noble families were forced to live in exile and fend for themselves, which seemed to be embarrassing, in fact, they received far more than ordinary people's higher education since childhood, and after they had no inheritance rights, they cultivated the enterprising spirit and adventurous spirit in order to survive.

In the meantime, the eldest son will contribute capital, and the younger son will naturally form a division of labor system or technology, and it will no longer be like in the past, the eldest son will prevent the younger son from seeking to seize the family property, after all, the law has eliminated the possibility of the younger son's inheritance, and the younger son is only a close employee and is no longer a threat.

On the other hand, in the past dynasties of China since the Han Dynasty, the inheritance system of property inheritance extended by the Tui En Order has dragged its feet, and the large capital has been continuously divided into small capital, so the wealth is not more than three generations. Capital cannot be accumulated, and it is difficult for the economy to carry heavy burdens. Moreover, it is precisely because all the children except the eldest son can obtain a share of the property, which leads to many young sons who are uneducated, greedy for enjoyment, and lack of initiative, which is also the reason for the gap with Europe.

However, for the people who have been in the Xingqian period for three years, they do not know what kind of drastic changes the primogeniture system that began with the royal family, from the nobles to the honorable men to the soldiers, and finally to the officials and gentry, will bring to the country in the next few decades, but at least for some keen people, they still feel the changes in the world. Especially for those scholars who are the pillars of the country, they can always be the first to feel the changes in the world.

Chongzheng Academy, located in Qingliang Mountain, is also quite famous among the many academies in Nanjing, not only because the first champion in Nanjing was the champion in the examination here, but also because it is also one of the birthplaces of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zhen, a generation of grandmasters of the Taizhou School, has lectured with this, and has established the atmosphere of Chongzheng Academy.

Of course, when Li Zhen and some lectured in the year, he clearly put forward the concept of wealth of science and ethics in response to the concept of wealth of science and ethics in response to "Confucianism talks about life, discusses the subtleties of the subtlety, ignores the pain and itching of the people in the world, and instead talks about financial management as turbidity", and clearly puts forward that "those who do not talk about financial management must not rule the world peacefully".

"Financial management" is the foundation of governing the world, so it should encourage "governing the production industry" and "becoming rich through diligence and thrift", and the impact of this shameless words on Chongzheng Academy, perhaps in the period of the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Dynasty, did not bring much impact, but in the Xingqian period, Chongzheng Academy has faintly become the most well-known base camp of practical learning in the south of the Yangtze River, and all kinds of practical knowledge of the world are spread in the academy.

It is precisely because of this that it attracts students from all over the world to study here. Because of the Omi relationship, the academy opened up the navigation department last year, but because it was difficult to enter the navigation department, it was not liked by scholars, so this navigation department only attracted a few students.

The reason why Xu Yunxian chose the navigation department is very simple - there is no tuition fee, and the tuition fee of the navigation department is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce hopes to cultivate a group of captains who understand navigation through this sponsorship, so that they can get involved in maritime trade.

Not being ashamed of profit, and everyone pursuing profit, was the characteristic of the Xingqian period. Even Xu Yunxian chose the navigation department, in addition to the tuition fee, it was also because of the captain's generous salary.

Just as Xu Yunxian was looking at the Western navigation books that Tongwenguan had just translated this year, according to the decree of the Ming Dynasty, when the merchant ships of Western countries sailed into the port of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, they had to "pay tribute" to no less than 100 books, and if Western missionaries wanted to enter the Ming Dynasty, they needed to "pay tribute" to 200 books, and as for the church to be built, it would have to be multiplied tenfold. And there are also corresponding regulations for the types of these books.

Thanks to this, the Tongwenguan has now translated tens of thousands of Western books, and even some books are only a year later than Europe, and every time the Western books translated and published by the Tongwenguan will be donated to the academies and county libraries through the royal library, which also makes the spread of Western studies in the Ming Dynasty even faster than the spread of its works in Europe.

After all, after nearly two centuries of navigational exploration, the West has accumulated rich experience, and they have mastered the global monsoons, ocean currents, and a series of navigation techniques resulting from them. Because of this, Xu Yunxian, like his classmates, often uses textbooks that are translated from the West.

When Xu Yunxian was flipping through the books there, Yang Cheng, a classmate next to him, was reading the newspaper there, perhaps because the two had similar backgrounds, so the two could be regarded as acquaintances.

"The Westerners had already sailed around the world a hundred years ago and explored the route from the Americas to Luzon, and the Westerners said that the Americas had their own fertile land......

Yang Cheng casually opened the newspaper and saw one of the articles, and then read it softly.

"King Jing of Ningjing wants to open up a voyage to North America for my Ming Dynasty, and he has donated funds to fund this voyage ......"

Yang Cheng read and read, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Where is this sailing along the route of the Westerners, it is clearly looking for a new line!"

Then he continued to read softly.

"There are thousands of miles of fertile land in North America, and I only hear that there are barbarians scattered in the diaspora, but I don't hear about the country, which is the place where I opened up the territory of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Does King Ning Jing want to help me expand my territory?"

Yang Cheng said softly. Then he handed the newspaper to Seo Yoon-hyun.

"Zhijin, you look at this article/"

Xu Yunyu skipped the beginning of the article and didn't read it, then swept a few lines with his eyes and said.

"That's a good thing!"

"A good thing?"

Looking at Xu Yunxian, Yang Cheng said.

"What a good thing, open up a new route, but it's going to die, he recruits people like this, even if anyone is crazy, he won't necessarily agree to take this risk."

As a student of navigation, Yang Cheng knows very well what is behind every route, death, countless merchant ships sinking in the sea, countless sailors dying at sea, and it is precisely because of this that they are more willing to sail along the routes that Westerners have opened up.

"As you can see, this route is monopolized by the Spaniards, and if we want to enter the Americas, we have to clash with them, and the Spaniards, who monopolize this route, will not give up to them, so in order for us to want to enter, we must open a new route, at least this route needs to be different from the route of the Spaniards."

Xu Yunxian said as he drew a Pacific route on the table with his finger, and then analyzed the pros and cons of the current route there.

“…… In short, if it can't be different, when the time comes, we will go to Luzon when we return, and we will go to Mexico, which may be no problem in normal times, but once the two countries conflict, then, they can naturally wait for work nearby, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to predict the outcome or defeat, if King Ningjing can succeed in this prosperity, it is really a credit to the country! Advantage in the future! ”

After complimenting King Ning Jing like this, Xu Yunxian looked at the newspaper, his brows were tightly locked, and he sighed for a long time.

"However, I am afraid that it is difficult to find a captain who is willing to take this risk, who is willing to open up this route for the sake of a false name, tens of thousands of miles across the sea, and risk his life and death."

"False name...... Would you like to? ”

Suddenly, Yang Cheng looked at his friend and asked.

"I ......"

Seo Yun-hyun looked at his friend in surprise.

"You never thought about restoring the former scenery of the Xu family?"

Yang Cheng had a smile on his face, and Xu Yunxian, who was still a little puzzled, suddenly laughed when he heard him say this.

"Three years ago, His Majesty decreed that the title of Earl Zhangwu of your Yang family be restored, why did your father refuse to be crowned?"

Before his friend could answer, Xu Yunxian said with a straight face.

"The Yang family has received the grace of the country, and as a noble thief, he cannot be defeated, although he hangs himself, but the ministers have a loss, how dare they want His Majesty to reinstate? Ling Zunshang is like this, not to mention our Xu family? ”

With a wry smile, Xu Yunxian shook his head and sighed.

"There are thieves on the other side of Beijing, and there are prisoners on the Nanjing side, so the thieves come to the thieves, and the prisoners come to surrender, and it doesn't flow thousands of miles, it is already Your Majesty's grace."

Xu Yunxian was born in the Xu family of two dukes, but although the Xu family is said to be favored by the country, it is really embarrassing. And the Wei Guogong family on the Nanjing side, after the Qing Dynasty came to the Qing Dynasty, they also did not escape death.

In fact, how many of the noble descendants of the Ming Dynasty have escaped death?

What is to rest with the country, the existence of the country has existed, and the death of the country has been destroyed. Most of the nobles of that year died at the hands of Li Chuang, only a few in Nanjing died in the Qing Dynasty, and how many people died in the festival?

But the few who have done the best have finally been rewarded. Just like Uncle Zhangwu, his title was restored by His Majesty, but it was returned by him, perhaps because the Yang family experienced the chaos of the world and looked down on fame and fortune.

Compared with the Yang family, the Xu family, which is a two-country family, has lost all the face of the nobles. Xu Yunxian naturally didn't dare to say anything to restore the past scenery.

"The old days...... Hey, if the ancestors of the Xu family knew that both veins were like this, they might not ......"

While sighing, Xu Yunxian looked at the article in the newspaper and sighed.

"However, if this route can be opened, it can also be regarded as a contribution to the Ming Dynasty, so it may be able to make up for it."

It is naturally the sin of the Xu family to make up for it. Just when Xu Yunxian's mind was floating, there were some excited words from his classmates outside the door of the dormitory over there.

"It's decided, it's decided, the imperial court has promulgated the feudal holy decree."
