Chapter 161 The big boss rushes down the question
But Li Dan didn't care at all, and just one sentence left Yan Siqi speechless.
"Long live to kill us, would it be necessary to summon us to the capital, which would defile the holy name and dirty the golden hand?"
The old guy is more sophisticated than a monkey. I have been thinking about this principle for a long time, and I only understood it after the persuasion and explanation of my good brother Yang Tiansheng.
Ginger is still so spicy!
Yan Siqi had to admire him. He saw through the essence at a glance and resolutely went to Beijing without delaying it. No wonder he became a giant evil person on the sea. This is really not a lucky person.
But we also have advantages. You are young. How long can you be so long?
Yan Siqi comforted herself, and shed a lot of hostility along the way. It’s useless to argue now, so I’ll talk about it when I see it.
Looking at Beijing City, Li Dan was also in a state of excitement. It was a situation that he never dreamed of!
I am old, old. What I want to go to most is my hometown. Perhaps there are still several relatives alive, and maybe I can still see my childhood playmates...
His eyes were a little wet, and Li Dan shrank into the car and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
But Yan Siqi saw this little move and was embarrassed to hurt him in public, but he curled his lips and said to himself: Hey, I still cry, I'm not promising.
Wu Zheng, the envoy who was on the Japanese mission, was also very moved when he saw the capital again.
As the son of a businessman in Tongzhou, who would have thought that he would become a national envoy, take a boat to travel thousands of miles away to Japan?
Moreover, I am already an official, so I am considered to be a glorious ancestor for the Wu family. This mission was also done smoothly, and I believe I will be praised by the emperor. It is very possible to take another step!
When everyone entered the capital, Yan Siqi's eyes were not enough. He looked around and saw novelty everywhere.
The same is true for Li Dan. He witnessed the appearance of the capital for the first time, and it was not comparable to his hometown Quanzhou.
"You two are here to rest in the inn." Wu Zheng took them to the inn and after they were settled, he bowed and said goodbye: "When I hand over the official to the commission, I will tell you when I will meet. Or lead you to visit the capital and appreciate the scenery here."
"Please give me a gift, Lord Wu." Li Dan and Yan Siqi bowed and returned the gift, saw Wu Zheng away, and waited honestly at the inn.

Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao read the question book of Fujian Governor Nan Juyi and let out a long breath.
The garrison of Penghu has been completed. In order to show his talents, Nan Juyi also asked the garrison to build houses and farm farms on the island and develop fisheries, which is a resource for long-term stability.
With Penghu as a springboard (45 kilometers east of Taiwan's island), it is no longer too difficult to get to the East. According to the secret order, Nan Juyi has completed the task of landing on the island.
Although Dongfan, after the "Longqing Switch", has increasingly close contact with the mainland, it is still a barren land.
At that time, there were about a hundred ships coming to trade and fishing every year.
In "Chicken Cage" (north Taiwan), mainlanders often live here, but most of them are fishermen and business travelers who have settled in temporarily, and there is almost no permanent population.
According to the title book, the officers and soldiers landed in "Beigang" (commonly known as the coast of western Taiwan) and did not conflict with the local indigenous people.
Although two boats hit the reef and sank during the landing, they were very close to the shore and most of the people who fell into the water were rescued. After landing, the officers and soldiers had already begun to build houses and reclaim wasteland.
Overall, Zhu Youxiao's arrangement was smooth during execution.
But this is just the beginning. It takes about half a year to produce a harvest after farming. During this period, the grain and grass supplies must be supplied by Fujian, and the logistics pressure is not small.
No matter how much it costs now or how much it costs, it will be priceless in the future.
Zhu Youxiao wrote a commentary for Nan Juyi, one was to continue exploring the waterway and familiarizing itself with the wind direction; the other was to build large ships, which ensured that the future immigration to Taiwan was as safe as possible.
Secondly, Zhu Youxiao also told Nan Juyi that maritime merchants could be hired to transport in the future. After all, maritime merchants had larger ships and more experience in sailing far seas.
As for the funds, there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left in Nanjuyi. In addition, the interception of Xiamen Customs should be able to support the past this year.
After approving Nan Juyi's memorial, Zhu Youxiao took the memorial of Hu Yingtai, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and began to approve it bit by bit.
Hu Yingtai reported: The artillery ordered at the Macau artillery factory has been shipped and transported to Chongming according to Zhu Youjiao's will; the shipyard, the artillery factory has started construction and Portuguese technicians have been hired, and the expenses required are intercepted by customs taxes.
In addition to the approval, Zhu Youxiao ordered Hu Yingtai to send people to develop Qiongzhou Prefecture, or to move people from Fujian, Guangxi, Guangdong and other places.
If you say that the Ming Dynasty already showed signs of the "Malthus trap", Zhu Youxiao cannot be completely sure.
At least, Taiwan and Hainan have not yet developed well, and can still carry millions of people. By the time the Jiannu, the black soil, and the Great Northern Wilderness can even support tens of millions of people.
Therefore, there is still potential, but it still needs to be explored in depth.
After commenting on the memorial, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his slightly sore eyes, got up and moved his arms and legs in the hall.
Zhang Yuer also finished practicing calligraphy. Seeing that the cats were sleeping, she went to serve tea and pour water, and then sorted out the question book on the table.
Zhu Youxiao wandered around and came to the big globe at the corner of the hall, stretched out his hand and looked at the miniature world.
"The Emperor--" Zhang Yuer came over with a desire for knowledge.
Well! Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, pointed his fingers, and stopped the rotating globe.
"That-" Zhang Yuer pointed to the globe, blinked her big eyes, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty means we all live on this big ball?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "We live in a dozens or millions of times larger than this one, this is just a reduced model."
Zhang Yuer's fingers unconsciously stroked the air and continued to ask: "The emperor also said that the big ball is rotating. Because it is rotating, there are day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter."
"Yes!" Zhu Youxiao pulled out the globe and said, "This is called rotation, it is still revolving around the sun!"
Zhang Yuer's expression became even more confusing. She suddenly slapped her long eyelashes, looking at the rotating globe, and after a while, she said, "Emperor, if we turn around, we all turn to our heads and rush down, wouldn't we fall down?"
Well, oh, the girl's eyes were rolling, as if she was imagining the scene of a person standing upside down, or the terrifying thing of a big ball falling out. Jade said stutteringly, "Where will that fall? Can't figure it out?"
Zhu Youxiao laughed. It is not easy to explain this question clearly. Newton has not figured out what rotation and gravity are!
Zhang Yuer looked at the laughing emperor and felt that she was too stupid or thinking too much.
Zhu Youxiao was about to say a few words to send this curious girl when the palace maid came in to report that Wu Zheng, who was on a mission to Japan, had reported to the Ministry of Rites and was waiting to be summoned.
I'm back, it's pretty fast, it seems that things are going well.
"This big head rushes down and falls down. I will explain it in detail to you if I have time." Zhu Youxiao smiled and reached out and pinched Zhang Yuer's face, and ordered the palace servant to go to Xuan Wuzheng.
Chapter completed!
