Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...The changes in the Ming Dynasty frightened even the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom. After all, he had only been away for a short time, and the Ming Dynasty had already invented trains.
Moreover, this thing is far more than imagined, far more than almost everything before combined.
For a moment, even the prince of Zhu Zi Kingdom couldn't help but sigh and say:
"The Ming Dynasty is indeed terrifying. After not seeing it for a while, it has come up with this monster-like thing again."
If they don't come for a while longer, who knows what other strange and unusual things they might come up with?
In conclusion, I think I should visit the Ming Dynasty more often in the future to avoid missing out on some of its valuable resources.
The King of Zhu Zi nodded seriously upon hearing this, expressing his strong approval. He was also worried that if Zhu Zi missed out on cooperation with the Ming Dynasty in some areas, and other countries gained the upper hand, it would be a huge loss.
So they continued their journey in preparation for a deeper level of cooperation with the Ming Dynasty.
Especially the new king of Chechi Kingdom, after witnessing the train, realized how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, and that it was essential to befriend such a country rather than become its enemy.
Otherwise, things won't end well.
As for Zhu Yunwen, he was not too surprised when he received the news that Chechi Kingdom had a new king who had personally come to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, under these circumstances, it would be foolish not to think about building good relations with the Ming Dynasty.
If you're thinking of continuing to oppose the Ming Dynasty, then that would be utterly idiotic.
Clearly, the new king of Chechi Kingdom was not an idiot or a fool, and Zhu Yunwen also decided that if the new king's attitude was sincere, then the Ming Dynasty could cooperate with them.
After all, trade with another country brings extra income to the people, which is never a bad thing.
Moreover, cooperation with other countries is already in full swing, and the people are benefiting and making money from these transactions.
In this situation, having another country where people can earn money is always a good thing.
As for grudges and such things, to put it bluntly, it's just a conflict with the former king and prince of Chechi Kingdom.
As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen was also prepared to cooperate with Chechi Kingdom, which was, after all, a major country in the west.
If we can cooperate with Chechi Kingdom, and at the same time reduce Chechi Kingdom's profits due to its past actions, allowing Da Ming to earn more, then it would be very worthwhile for Da Ming and its people.
It is necessary to develop such a huge market.
Zhu Yunwen was busy with court affairs every day, and in his spare time he would make all sorts of strange and unusual inventions.
After all, time travelers have a lot of advanced ideas in their minds, and in an era like the Ming Dynasty, some basic industrial infrastructure had already been established.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen still wanted to see if he could use his professional knowledge and advanced knowledge reserves to create some better products.
That afternoon, Zhu Yunwen met Ma Sanbao, who had returned from overseas, at the Eastern Palace.
Ma Sanbao seems to have become addicted to going to sea; he comes back for a while and then immediately goes overseas again.
Zhu Yunwen has always supported this fanatical seafaring enthusiast.
After all, the overseas world is vast, with many places to visit, and there are also many wonderful things to discover.
Every time Ma Sanbao traveled overseas, he brought back many useful things that the people of the Ming Dynasty had never seen before.
Whether it's physical goods or various daily necessities, they can all be brought back to improve people's quality of life.
Therefore, such overseas investment is absolutely necessary. In addition, this kind of overseas behavior can also make countries around the world realize that there is a superpower in the far East.
This instilled in them a sense of awe and longing for the East.
This overseas diplomatic activity resulted in a situation where, every so often, a foreign country would travel thousands of miles across the ocean to pay homage to the Ming emperor and the crown prince.
This gave the Ming Dynasty a great reputation internationally, and Zhu Yunwen was also very interested in overseas affairs.
When he had some free time, he would have some officials from the Ministry of Works come over, and under Zhu Yunwen's guidance, they would create a round globe.
Zhu Yunwen marked the approximate locations and environments on the globe according to his memory.
Although it's just a rough estimate, the difference from the actual situation isn't too significant.
Before Zhu Yunwen traveled through time, he was very interested in geography when he was in school.
Especially for all countries and regions.
Therefore, such a globe can accurately mark 70-80% of geographical locations.
After finishing the globe, Zhao Qingzhu looked at the enormous sphere and said in confusion:
"What exactly is this thing?"
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile:
"This is a globe. Simply put, it's the shape of the earth beneath our feet."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:
"So that's how it is. So we're standing on a ball."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:
"good."
Then he looked at Zhao Qingzhu with a puzzled expression and said:
"What, aren't you even a little shocked? And you believed me when I said it was a ball? Didn't you have any doubts at all?"
