Zhu Yanxi shook his head.
He didn't like this kind of thing very much and always felt that it was not upright enough.
It’s just that the emperor has said so, and Wang Zheng’s mission has been completed, how can he object?
When Zhu Youxiao heard about Ukraine, his heart moved.
He actually does not know that Ukraine now belongs to Poland.
Poland now includes the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and Ukraine belongs to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
But he knows that Ukraine is a good place, rich in food and beautiful women.
If Poland really can't pay back the money, it might consider taking over this place.
Of course, if you can still afford the money, it would be best if you can take it away.
When he thought of this, he thought of Oceania again.
He naturally knows its location, and there should only be local natives there now.
If the Europeans accidentally discovered it, it would be a bit troublesome, so why not occupy it now?
He waved, Wang Tiqian trotted over, and Zhu Youxiao said: "It is said that Lu Xiangsheng is here to see you."
When the emperor delivered the message, all the ministers stopped talking.
After Wang Tiqian left, Wang Zheng continued to talk about the situation in Europe.
After hearing about the Queen of Sweden, Zhu Youxiao thought again, could he marry the Queen of Sweden to his son?
That would be a good thing then.
At least Sweden would definitely be tied to the Ming Dynasty's chariot and concentrate on dealing with Rakshasa. .
However, he does not understand the specific situation in Europe at all, and this is just an idea.
After Wang Zheng finished talking about the mission to Europe, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Qing Wang.
Your Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is still in charge.
I have an idea that you will now be in charge of Catholic affairs in the Ming Dynasty.
As the Pope’s personal cardinal, this matter should be your business.”
Wang Zheng was actually unwilling, but naturally he had no way to refuse.
The emperor then issued an edict, appointing Wang Zheng, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, as the imperial envoy to inspect various Catholic matters in the Ming Dynasty, and to be responsible for Catholic missionary matters across the country.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had also arrived, and the emperor listened to the government for a while.
Yes, he really listened to the government.
The cabinet reported the measures for handling the affairs of various ministries and bureaus, and he just said "accurate".
This has been the norm in the past two years.
The emperor generally does not express his own opinions, and the cabinet is the center for managing various matters.
After the big court meeting was over, the emperor took the cabinet and ministers of various ministries to start the small court meeting.
Wang Zheng was also retained, and together with Lu Xiangsheng, who rarely attended the small court meetings, there were only a dozen people in total.
The emperor smiled and said to Wang Zheng: "Wang Qing may not like to manage Catholic missionary matters, but in the past two years since you have been there, with my tacit approval, the Catholic Church has become more and more popular in missionary work, and more and more religious people have The more people there are, the more things will happen.
There have been several conflicts between believers and local people.
Although it did not cause any harm to people's lives, it did happen a few times.
Although we have religious management methods and the courts have convicted some people, this will cause the division of the ethnic group, which is not what I want to see.
You are a believer and now you are a red archbishop.
Please think of a way to solve this problem."
Wang Zheng said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although I now have the status of red archbishop, I am not good at these things.
I'm afraid I can't do it well and live up to Your Majesty's expectations.
It's better to select capable officials to do this." , I still want to translate Western books, which I am very good at, and I like it very much. " Xu Guangqi said: "You are really confused.
His Majesty asked you to take charge of this matter.
He will naturally assign some people who are good at management to take charge.
But your status in the Catholic Church is very important now, so you must be the leader.
The people below you can Make a difference.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If you like to translate books and study knowledge, go ahead and show up when your subordinates ask you to come out to help.”
Wang Zheng suddenly said: "I am too stupid, but I can do this."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "You just talked about comforting various places in America.
Did you see the place where the canal was built?
Chen Houfu wrote a report last time, but I think they are different from you after all.
He is good at exploration, knows mechanics, and is excellent at arithmetic.
Do you think it is feasible to build a canal there?"
Wang Zhengdao: "I was planning to report this to Your Majesty specifically, so I didn't mention it at the court meeting.
The Yongle City built by our army is on the side of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no problem for the city to resist the Spanish.
But I specially repaired it on that road.
After walking on the post road, it would take at least 100,000 people to build a canal that can carry 5,000 ships, and a lot of gunpowder will be used.”
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Five thousand materials won't work.
At least we have to consider the fifty thousand materials for a big ship.
Although we don't have such a big ship now, given time, who knows whether we can build such a ship?
It's like Building railways in one direction can actually meet the needs now, but in the future it is not as good as doing it in one step. " Wang Zhengdao: "If a ship with fifty thousand materials passes through, I can't guarantee whether it can be repaired in a hundred years."
Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "Is it so difficult?"
Wang Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, for a 50,000-ton ship, the required depth and width of the canal have increased more than ten times.
However, I still follow the same underground situation.
If there are soil above and rocks below, That would require more time and money.
I think if we build a railway there, we would achieve similar results."
Zhu Youxiao said: "I have never thought about building railways.
Let's talk about it."
Wang Zhengdao: "The sea on both sides is separated by more than a hundred miles, and most places are covered with large forests.
So if you want to build a railway, you only need to cut down the trees and clear a space dozens of paces wide, and what about sleepers?"
If you find the iron ore, everything will be ready, so it is not difficult to build a railway connecting both sides, with a dock on each side, and there will be no need for goods and people.
It only takes a little effort and money to transfer it, but it saves us from going thousands of miles away.
What a convenience.
Moreover, the dock and railway are built by us.
If other countries want to use it, they can always use it.
They have to pay some fees.
They will feel that they have made a profit after paying the freight for thousands of miles, because they save time, and this is really a huge profit. " Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Yes, I want to build the canal because of the convenience of transportation between the two oceans.
However, Wang Qing's suggestion is good.
If the canal is built too deep and too wide, it will indeed cost too much.
If there is machinery, it can Just help.
Mao Shangshu, your railway bureau will send some people to explore there.
Next time Chen Houfu and others return to Beijing, we will take them there to see if it is possible to build a railway there
