Thinking about it this way, Zhu Yunying is indeed quite suitable. These things may not be perfectly suited to the current Ming Dynasty, but a slightly rudimentary version might even bring some benefits to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunying felt these matters were quite important. The next period of time would be dedicated to development, followed by a period of sorting out a series of contradictions and conflicts within the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been established for thirty years and seems to be thriving, there are indeed many conflicts and contradictions.

Emperor Zhu's iron-fisted rule and suppression of intellectuals made many scholars uncomfortable. Even Emperor Zhu Yunying's attitude towards scholars caused some unease among them.

Furthermore, although the Mongol Yuan dynasty was driven out, some of the customs and views left behind by the Mongol Yuan dynasty could not be changed overnight.

Although the Yuan Dynasty lasted only a century, its influence was indeed far-reaching. Furthermore, during the Song Dynasty, the Liao people occupied Yan and Yun, and the Jin people occupied the north for a long time, both of which had significant impacts.

Han civilization can assimilate many people and ethnic groups, but it can also be influenced by other things at times. Changing something fundamental is not something that can be done overnight with any immediate results.

Zhu Yunying knew very well that some things just needed time, and some things couldn't be rushed. He believed he had some patience, and he genuinely felt he could have a little more.

Zhu Yunying understood the principle that "haste makes waste," and that's exactly what he did.

In a good mood, Zhu Yunying sent over some reports from the Ministry of Works. He was quite optimistic about the Ministry's development and the future of its colleges. A considerable amount of manpower and resources had been invested in this area, and it certainly required Zhu Yunying's continued attention.

Even as the emperor, he could only consciously guide investment and development in this area to create an effective ecosystem.

"We should start preparing the large ships for our voyages to the Western Ocean," Zhu Yunying said, rubbing his temples with some frustration. "We need to start working on this now. We've made many trips to Japan and are familiar with Southeast Asia. Now it's time to expand further. We need to consider going to the Indian subcontinent and even further towards Africa."

Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean took place around this time, about ten years later.

Therefore, there was definitely no problem with the basics. In fact, due to the Maritime Trade Office, Japan, and other issues, and because of Zhu Yunying's emphasis on the navy over the years, the Ming Dynasty's navy was certainly much stronger than that of the same period in history.

Perhaps we should also contact our fourth uncle, who is preparing to open a new country in Japan. We can't just focus on heading to Africa; there are still many good things in the Americas, which Zhu Yunying is also interested in.

It may not seem very useful now, but it will definitely be of great help to the future of the Ming Dynasty.

These are things that Zhu Yunying could not do or did well, so it's unrealistic to expect his descendants to do them. Or rather, it's better to do them ourselves now, which can bring greater help to the Ming Dynasty and make it stronger and more prosperous.

Zhu Yunying, talking to himself, took out a small notebook from the hidden compartment and studied it carefully.

“We still need to give Yin’er special tutoring in the future. There are some things that others can’t know, but this kid needs to know.” Zhu Yunying chuckled and then sighed, “What we, as emperor, leave for future generations may not only be the Ming Dynasty’s empire, but also my ideals and knowledge.”

As for whether his descendants would amount to anything or value his knowledge, that was something Zhu Yunying couldn't control. These valuable things might very well be treated like trash by some unworthy descendants.

These things are hard to explain, but what needs to be done, Zhu Yunying will definitely have to do!
