When Emperor Kangxi I and his queen "Obai" were singing and dancing (in later Bollywood movies, Emperor Kangxi and Queen Aobai would even dance by themselves), they ascended to the supreme position and headed towards the highlight of their lives.

At that time, they... were also the enemies of the entire Western world. The Grand Duke and Emperor Zhu Heji of the Ming Dynasty had returned to Guangzhou, the "Haijing" of the Ming Dynasty that was most loyal to him.

In the past few years, Emperor Zhu had been stranded in Beijing and even moved the entire Ming Dynasty to Beijing. With Ge Erdan's escape, the three brothers Yeerqiang and Cewang Alabutan controlled Ili, Junggar and Koh

On the Budo Grassland, Zhu Heji's work in Beijing came to an end. So when winter came in the sixth year of the Grand Duke's reign, Emperor Zhu led his court all the way south to Guangzhou. He and his small court spent several

During the month, I visited the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty while traveling.

Well, there are good mountains and rivers everywhere, beautiful scenery, and almost no pollution. After the equalization of land system was fully implemented, the people's life was pretty good... There are fewer people and more land, which is good for China.

As far as farmers are concerned, the era of great rule is nothing more than this.

In the countryside of Beizhili, Henan, Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong that Zhu He passed on his way south, the number of children also began to increase dramatically! Outside every village community and every gated building that Emperor Zhu passed by,

You can see groups of children playing and playing in groups... Whether they are children or old people, they all look like they are well fed and clothed.

Moreover, these village communities and the farmland outside the gate buildings are also well managed. There are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides now. They are all "pollution-free, purely natural" agricultural products. Naturally, their growth cannot be compared with those unusually strong agricultural products of later generations. But

Fortunately, the land is very abundant, so outside every village community building, you can see large tracts of unsightly agricultural products.

In addition, due to the relatively small population, grassland rotation has naturally become the most economical agricultural production method. Therefore, the village communities and buildings that Zhu Heji saw on his way south all raised a lot of livestock...see

Now the people living there can eat meat and drink milk from time to time.

Although this kind of life is not very wealthy, it is comfortable enough. For the Chinese people who have suffered many disasters in history, now is almost the best time.

As the saying goes, if you have a stable warehouse, you will know the etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace. Now that the farmers can finally eat well and fill their warehouses with grain, of course they will also pay attention to education.

Therefore, most village communities and gated buildings have started elementary schools. The textbooks for these elementary schools are all provided free of charge by the Ming Dynasty. There are not many subjects, including Confucianism (equivalent to Chinese plus moral education), arithmetic, martial arts, handicrafts, etc.

Among the subjects of gardening, Confucianism, Arithmetic, and Martial Arts are required courses for entering county or township (town) primary schools.

Of course, there are also some private primary schools and middle schools that are not fully covered by this system. However, the Ming Dynasty spent money to establish a system that is close to the so-called "modern new education", which can still ensure that most "Tianniu"

(Tian Niu Wa) all entered university step by step. Although there are not many universities in the Ming Dynasty at present, there are only Beijing Daofu Academy, Qingbei University, Jinling University, Ming University, Lingnan University, and Haizhu University.

There are also two military universities, the Ming Dynasty Public Medical College and the Army Academy and the Naval Academy, for a total of nine universities.

The level of mathematics, natural magic, natural Taoism and philosophy taught in these universities is not too high in Zhu Heji's opinion, but it can be regarded as a fusion of Eastern and Western natural philosophy, mathematics, Taoism (physics,

Chemistry) at the highest level.

In addition, these universities also offer engineering, navigation, medicine, law, business, education and many other professional subjects that are easier to find a job.

All in all, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Zhu Heji, a wise king, is on a pretty good upward path!

And Guangzhou, as the earliest capital of the Celestial Empire whose national destiny was on the rise, already had some of the meaning of an international metropolis in the spring of the seventh year of the Grand Duke’s reign!

The streets that had become depressed and empty due to the wars between the Ming and Qing Dynasties have now returned to a bustling scene. People from the Ming Dynasty, as well as various merchants from the West, Southeast Asia, East Asia and other places, are all crowded on the streets.

On several spacious streets leading to Tianzi Pier outside the city, the carriages coming and going are all filled with goods. These are goods from overseas or about to be shipped overseas... This is also the case in Guangzhou.

The charm of this great oriental trade port!

Occasionally, a horse team passes by on the street, and the knights on the horse team are all capable Shunfeng riders - in order to command the Ming Dynasty, an increasingly larger country, and to facilitate the Ming government and the people to deliver letters. Zhu Heji is here

After Beijing was recaptured, the postal system of the Ming Dynasty began to be fully restored, but it was no longer called a post... The rebellion of Li Zicheng, a "laid-off postman", made Emperor Zhu feel that the title of "postman" was inappropriate.

Geely changed the name to "Shunfeng Division"!

Several horses from the Shunfeng Division galloped along the horse track around the city of Guangzhou, and soon detoured to the Yuexiu Palace in the north of the city - where the original Yuexiu Mountain Sifang Fort was. Because the economy in Guangzhou was developing rapidly.

, the area around Zhu Heji’s original Taisun Palace and King Zhu Tianwang’s Third Taisun Palace has long since become a busy city.

So Zhu Heji simply ordered the razing of Shang Kexi. The two palaces built by Geng Jimao used the land for development and built dozens of enclosed buildings that were only for rent but not for sale... At the same time, he

He also ordered people to purchase land in the Yuexiu Mountain area and spent several years building a "Mountain Palace". The palace was built according to the mountain, and the palace walls framed the scenery of Yuexiu.

Around Yuexiu Mountain, the Ming court also spent money to build a left-behind city, which could house the Haijing left-behind department and the yamen residences reserved for some imperial officials who followed Zhu Heji in Guangzhou.

Go in.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent from Honglu Temple and the Military Advisor's Office!"

Nalan Xingde, the minister of bodyguard, stood outside a pavilion on Yuexiu Mountain and respectfully handed over the two memorial boxes.

Hearing Nalan Xingde's words, the father and son Zhu Heji and Zhu Tianwang, who were playing chess, put down their chess pieces at the same time. The two father and son had probably stayed in Beijing or Nanjing for a long time, and they were a little unaccustomed to the hot climate of Guangzhou.

Now they are all wearing sweatshirts and shaking big cattail fans.

Zhu Heji used a cattail leaf fan to beckon Nalan Xingde and asked him to bring up two memorial boxes. One of the two memorial boxes was opened and the other was sealed. Zhu Heji opened the first one.

After opening the sealed box, he found two title books inside. He took them out and took a look. One was from Wu Guogui, and the other was from Tu Hai.

So he opened Tu Hai's question book and started reading it. After reading for a while, he let out a contemptuous laugh.

King Zhu Tian, ​​who was sitting opposite him, was holding a bowl of herbal tea and drinking it. When he heard his son's voice, he smiled and asked, "Sai Zai, who are you laughing at?"

"Father," Zhu Heji said with a smile, "I am laughing at Mongolia, England, France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands and the Papal States."

"What are you laughing at them for?"

"They formed an eight-nation coalition to deal with our Ming Dynasty!"

When King Zhu Tian heard this, he frowned and said, "The Eight-Nation Alliance, it sounds very powerful... Shai Zai, should we join forces with the Ottomans and Tianzhu to formulate a Three-Nation Agreement?"

Zhu Heji shook his head and said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty does not need allies, the Ming Dynasty can be gloriously isolated!"

"Glorious isolation?" King Zhu Tian asked, "Doesn't that mean one versus eight?"
