However, the stubborn Ming government still rejected non-governmental maritime trade and immigration activities, and the sea ban was still not opened. All foreign trade and immigration activities had to be carried out through the imperial court, that is, under the direction of the government. As the other side of the ocean, Zhang Fan's team is the other organizer of the Ming government's ocean-going activities.

Although this did not meet the expectations of Zhang Fan Aken and the book demon, let China move towards shijie in an all-round way. But there is also an advantage, that is, Zhang Fan's team has completely monopolized the foreign trade activities of the Ming Empire and has become a veritable red-top merchant! With the support of the imperial court, Zhang Fan's team was able to set up offices in important ports in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang, and under the supervision of the Ming Empire, they carried out a series of activities such as trading, shipbuilding, recruiting sailors and immigrants.

Of course, the so-called supervision is nothing more than a game of political bribery. Zhang Fan's team, which holds the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, can do whatever they want under the protection of the local government that has received benefits. Among them, the biggest beneficiary is, of course, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang. But now I want to congratulate this Lord Hu, he is already the official residence of the first product of the eight mansions, in charge of the coastal maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and directly connected with Zhang Fan's team! He was also the representative of the Ming government to organize the ocean business.

Nominally, Zhang Fan is Jinghaihou, who is more beautiful than Hu Zongxian's first-class master, but in fact, Hu Zongxian is the first person responsible for the entire Ming Empire, and Zhang Fan's team is also under his control.

Of course, such ocean-going activities do not happen overnight. Even a large country like the Ming Empire needed to mobilize a lot of resources and liliang. These resources are all integrated by Hu Zongxian, who is well aware of the operation of the Ming officialdom, and the development of the Ming government's ocean-going activities has also allowed him to reap great benefits.

From now on, the major seagoing ship manufacturing bases in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang will be launched again, but this time the seagoing ships manufactured are no longer the kind of seagoing ships of the Sanbao eunuch Zheng He's fleet. Instead, the book demon provided the propeller blueprint, as well as a more powerful sea ship from the strongest wooden sailing ship in modern times, Jishu! Moreover, all the cannons on the sea ships are also the latest rear-loading guns of the modern artillery manufacturing jishu according to the manufacturing and casting processes mastered by the book demon in the current era!

And the book demon also provided a stronger steel and gunpowder casting jishu. For example, the formula of high-carbon steel is the optimal refining ratio of modern cannon steel. There are also new gunpowder jishu such as yellow powder, fire wool (TNT), detonators, primers, etc. For a founding country of gunpowder invention, it is easy to digest and absorb such jishu! The awarding of these new jishu has elevated the Chinese casting jishu, firearms jishu, and naval warfare ship jishu by several eras, surpassing Western countries by nearly two hundred years!

These ideals, which were originally intended to be realized in their own hiding places in the Caribbean, have now become a reality in mainland China ahead of schedule! And it is much easier for the largest empire on Shijie to use the government's liliang and integrate the resources of a country than Zhang Fan's team to rely on a few pirates to fiddle with the new jishu.

What's more, although Hu Zongxian is a corrupt official. But he is a very avant-garde capable man in terms of thinking, and if this guy is placed in Europe, he must be a figure like Drake and Hawkins! There is a gluttonous passion for ocean wealth! Therefore, he has achieved the ultimate in the introduction, digestion and even re-innovation of these new jishu.

Hu Zongxian encouraged the establishment of new-style schools to train talents who studied the manufacture of sea ships and artillery. And these new jishu, directly applied to the coastal government docks. With the competent teacher of the book demon and the cooperation of Hu Zongxian, a capable official, the promotion of these new jishu is very fast!

The Book Demon and Akon were also often invited to the palace by the Ming Emperor to tell about overseas anecdotes. The two naturally instilled a lot of the development history of modern Western powers in this emperor, which made the Ming emperor a little uncomfortable, and encouraged and supported the empire's maritime undertakings even more. Even in the later period, when the book demon and Akon were talking, the Ming Emperor no longer let his harem concubines listen to relieve boredom, but let some important courtiers listen to and learn. On several occasions, the book demon even lectured directly in the court!

Therefore, the book demon was canonized by the Ming Emperor as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and the prince of the prince, which is the third prince! He was also given the responsibility of overseeing the restructuring of domestic schools, encouraging the opening of more courses in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics. Emperor Jiajing also issued a holy decree to recruit talents and establish the 'Kit Kat Pavilion' to encourage ingenuity and ingenuity and develop science and technology.

The book demon was even given the nickname 'Book Fairy' by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! This identity also allowed the book demon to view the complete set of the Yongle Canon, as well as all the rare books in the royal library. This is really a feast of knowledge for the book demon.

Akon is a genuine Maoshan Taoist, and this Jiajing Emperor respects Taoism. Not only did he believe in the Word, but even his courtiers were called upon to honor the Word. This also made Akon very courteous. He was actually sealed as a 'Dinghai real person', and he can be regarded as having a Taoist system in the scene, and he can spread out.

Therefore, his advice was easily adopted by the Jiajing Emperor. Even this time Emperor Jiajing agreed to establish an ocean-going fleet, it was Akon who secretly fooled the emperor, and there may be immortal recipes for immortality in the New World America, which made this Jiajing Emperor moved. In addition to going to the Americas to swear sovereignty and immigrate to colonize, the fleet also has a more important task, which is to find overseas immortals.

In a way, China's colonial jihua was a by-product of the Ming Emperor's search for overseas immortality. This kind of flickering technique, for the emperor of China, is almost a hundred tried-and-done. Because since Qin Shi Huang, there have been too many Chinese emperors who want to live forever and seek overseas immortal prescriptions.

This time, Emperor Jiajing got the recommendation of a Maoshan Taoist priest who traveled thousands of miles away from the ocean and the New World, and he didn't grasp a life-saving straw! Moreover, Emperor Jiajing is also in his twilight years now, and he yearns for longevity. Akon was sympathetic to Shangyi, and used this method to achieve the purpose of influencing the development of Chinese history, which can be said to have penetrated the temper of the Chinese emperor.

The Ming government's move to create the 'Ingenuity Pavilion' was very unexpected by the book demon and Akon, because the old-fashioned pedantry of the Chinese feudal empire was notoriously known in history. This is also the reason why Western technology far surpassed China in later generations. This time, I don't know what the reason is, the Ming Emperor suddenly opened his mind, to develop science and technology, instead of abandoning these strange ingenuity, only to blindly encourage the brainwashing education of Chinese culture. This is probably related to the advice of Akon, a Maoshan Taoist priest who likes ingenious machinery and alchemy.
