[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Although the building ships sent by Daming to Japan this time did not carry any cargo, the materials of the building ships themselves were placed there after all, and since the buildings on the deck were at the rear, in order to maintain the draft balance of the ships, even if it was transported empty A counterweight is a must, and today it weighs even more than a normal cargo ship.

Therefore, without the power of the wind and only relying on manpower, the big ship moved for a long time before reaching the port under the anxious eyes of everyone.

This is not possible. Zhigu Port is surrounded by the mainland and the Liaodong Peninsula. The Liaodong Peninsula protruding from the coastline can effectively block the east wind. Therefore, the current speed of the buildings and ships is still coming out of the situation with basically no wind and no resistance from ocean currents.

If manpower alone could only achieve this speed, then Da Ming's ships would never be able to reach Australia by normal means. This speed would simply not be able to outrun the ocean currents and headwinds.

Time to find a way to modify the ship, or find a way to take advantage of the headwind.

He remembered that in later generations, there was a kind of sailing that has become a sport and entertainment. By changing the windward side of the sail, it can go in a Z shape even when the wind is headed. He wondered whether this flexible sail could be installed on a large ship.

However, if this kind of unfixed sail is installed on a large ship, it also means that there is a higher requirement for the hardness of the raw material of the mast. Can we make a mast that can withstand strong winds with the current technology that mainly uses wood as raw material? ...

Well, this is not something he wants to consider.With the medical craftsman Zhuyu whose craftsmanship was abolished, most of the craftsmen in Daming are now working hard to make a career, and want to see if they can also ask for the grace of abolishing their craftsmanship.

Although most craftsmen are not as talented as doctors and craftsmen, and can barely meet the needs of the court with the increase in proficiency, but if it is possible, no one wants to have this kind of skill that practice makes perfect.

Just like everyone in modern times knows that their handwriting will definitely look better if they practice handwriting according to copybooks, but few people can persevere. The same is true for many artisans. They are harder than modern children. Forced to have no choice.

Facing a career that I don't love and have no talent, I still have to use 180 points of strength or something, it's really annoying.

Although they have come here and have no choice, but if possible, they don't want their children to suffer this again.

Therefore, under the temptation of the carrot of "abolishing craftsmen's registration", the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty have been amazed several times by their creativity over the years, so now, he has developed the habit of not thinking about whether they can do it , as long as you give money to support.

By the way, the medical craftsmen who have been abolished as craftsmen did not appear to be disconnected as many courtiers thought. On the contrary, after the "iron rice bowl" was gone, these medical craftsmen who are now working suddenly have a great enthusiasm for inheritance.

It may be that watching their own cubs rushing happily to the new world one by one, completely disregarding the family business, the medical craftsmen who were afraid that their unique learning would be lost anxiously started the great cause of inheritance.

However, the apprenticeship of doctors is the most complicated and lengthy among all professions. It takes three to five years just to observe people's character. Therefore, these doctors have to embark on the road of writing books and learning.

This is not an easy road, just like the old Mr. Luo who had repeatedly hit his head when he was seeking publication. Medicine is also an unpopular and niche subject. It has no advantage in sales, and of course there will be no Publishers like it.

But it just so happens that the current publishing house has just been rectified, and the superiors require them to draw their own lines and must assume certain social responsibilities... Although they don't quite understand what social responsibility means, everyone somehow understands what it means.

Publishing medical books is regarded as gaining official favorability. After all, everyone is waiting for big official orders. Although publishing a few medical books will definitely lose money, it is considered an investment beforehand. Having official favorability is more important than spending money.

Anyone with an untied mind can understand this truth, so in just one year, various medical books have sprung up in the market, but medicine depends on personal inheritance and understanding, so the quality of medical books is inevitable Good and bad.

Of course, these book publishers also read other people's books, so not long after the number of books increased, discussions among doctors increased, and even debates began. Can be contacted through the publisher.

After such a number of times, a publishing house that will come to the event simply arranges a small page for its author, which is dedicated to publishing this kind of discussion or debate back and forth. Unexpectedly, it is more popular than serious books. Readers welcome.

In this era of lack of entertainment, most of these melon-eating readers who don't know medical skills even spontaneously learn relevant knowledge in order to join in the fun. The sales of this small page gradually surpassed the medical book itself, and even gradually became a regular issue. .

Several bookstores even got inspiration from the official Dibao and tabloids that were once popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, and quietly stretched out their tentative paws.

Then they quickly received an official interview.

China's first newspaper was born in the Tang Dynasty, and its heyday was in the Song Dynasty, but no matter which era it was, the dissemination of non-governmental newspapers was strictly controlled. According to historical records, folk newspapers did not officially appear until the Song Dynasty, but it was also very difficult. It was soon under control.

For most ordinary people, the price of books is too expensive, and most of them are serious, too far away from life, while tabloids are much closer, the price is cheap, the content is down-to-earth, and the most important thing is to be interesting Full of gossip and gossip, it can become a topic of conversation in the future, which is quite affordable.

But tabloids are different from books. The purpose of books is to disseminate knowledge, not to sell sales. Tabloids are purely commercial activities. In the Song Dynasty, unscrupulous tabloids made up false news. The era of great fame has had rather bad consequences.

Forget it, the tabloid editors at the time even fabricated border military information for the sake of sales, which once caused all kinds of chaos and social problems. In the end, even Song Dynasty, which is famous for its loose management of the people, started a one-size-fits-all model, except for the official mansion newspaper. No privately printed newspaper distribution is permitted.

This is naturally the same in Ming Dynasty, but popularity is a reincarnation. Emperor Hongwu has promoted basic education for more than ten years, which has raised the literacy rate of the people to a new level. After literacy, the people have their own spiritual needs.

Although private tabloids have many shortcomings, they can indeed play a guiding role, provided that they are properly guided and supervised.

The entry point of these tabloids is medical care, which is a very good start, so under the guidance of the government, these tabloids gradually appear in these non-governmental tabloids that the state allows to disclose current affairs news.

It's hard to say how this form will look in the future, but at least there are signs of relaxing folk customs, which is a good thing.

For example, this is the case with the recall that was announced in advance. The tabloid published the relevant information half a year in advance under the official's instruction. I hope that if you have family members who have been kidnapped by Japanese pirates or know the relevant situation, you can contact the official office. This will also help these people go home. Victims find their families quickly.

Now, there are more than 130 families waiting in the port area. They are the family members of the victims who traveled thousands of miles from various parts of Daming to Zhigu Port.

In fact, the number of people who signed up before is far more than this number, but because the time span is too long, and after the war, many family witnesses have passed away. Although the juniors know that there was such a sad past in their family, they have already Don't remember what your loved ones look like or have never seen them at all.

There are also some family members who are still alive, but after so long, most of them have reached the octogenarian age and cannot withstand the long journey. In the end, these people were not selected.

But they have already left tracing information in the government, and when the returnees disembark and rest, they can immediately start information comparison and search.

The more than 100 lucky families who arrived at the scene had been waiting in the shade. They were not led to the scene until the ship docked. Many people showed worried expressions.

30 years of mountains and seas separated them, and their relatives left them in such a tragic situation. Even though these people had the greatest wishes, they knew that what they were waiting for might be the worst ending.

But the people who will come here naturally have a little hope in their hearts, and now the names that are being chanted by Yin and Yang seem to be a verdict.

"Dashi Village, Liaodong, Mrs. Liu, about 50 years old, returning home—"

Following this sentence, a middle-aged woman in the crowd immediately rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Mother!" The young man beside her, who had been looking around, quickly caught her mother, and after laying her flat, immediately stretched out her hand to grab her mother. These first aid methods were taught by medical craftsmen just now, just to prevent great sorrow and great joy. People can't stand it.

The young man pinched and yelled, and there was a bit of confusion in his tone: "Mother, what's wrong with you, we are not from Dashi Village! That may not be the lady."

"We, our village was called Dashi Village more than 30 years ago. Later, the big stone was removed by the imperial court, and the spring water under it was exposed, and it was renamed Xiaoquan Village." The woman woke up faintly, and tears fell as she spoke. , "Your aunt was snatched away to protect me. She was only 16 years old at that time, and she just got engaged. My sister, sister—"

"Mother..." The young man hurriedly gave her a sigh of relief, "Mother, don't cry, didn't we agree before that we are here to pick up the young lady and go home, as long as you can go home."

"Yeah, I finally took you home. Dad, mother, did you see? I finally took my sister home..." The woman took out two bags from the cloth bag behind her with trembling hands. The tablet was placed on the ground, "Father, mother, sister has gone to your place, you have to take good care of her, I will burn money and clothes for you tonight, sister hired the best paper craftsman, and made a big paper Let my sister live in the house..."

As she spoke, she covered her face with tears rolling down her face.

In fact, she was lucky enough that her family left a relatively clear message, which at least helped her family recognize her.

"Liujiawan, Ah Fang, female, a velvet flower hairpin, eight out of fifty."

Most of the lists in Yin Yangsheng's hands are like this girl named A Fang, leaving only extremely fragmented information, and even her information is considered too much, and more people only have a nickname, a surname, and even their age. Do not know at all.

This information made the anxiously waiting family members even more anxious. They vaguely felt that they were their own family members, and they had expectations. I hope to see my familiar figure on the ladder.

The first person to appear on the ladder is Ma He.

As the official envoy sent this time, he is naturally the person with the highest status on the ship, and there are several deputy envoys after him.It is not easy to find people. In order not to miss a single Han Chinese, the number of deputy envoys of the mission to Japan this time is a record 36, and there are countless government officials.

Ma He didn't stay on the stairs for too long. The many days of sailing life made him look a little tired, but his eyebrows and the temperament of his whole body were not tired at all, and there was a hint of sharpness.

He respectfully took out a bright yellow scroll, then lifted the corner of his robe, knelt down in front of Emperor Hongwu, and offered the scroll with both hands: "I visited various places in Japan, and found 510 four people who were lost, and 73 people who returned together. .”

"Very good." Emperor Hongwu stretched out his hand, took the scroll and unfolded it for a rough look. Seeing that there were only 17 people staying in Japan for various reasons, he was immediately burned by the number and closed his eyes forcefully.

73 people returned to China, and 17 people stayed, which means that at least more than 400 people died in foreign countries.

He took a breath, and handed the scroll to his eldest grandson, and then both grandparents and grandchildren looked at the old people who were slowly walking down the boat ladder.

These people are actually not very old, most of them are of the same generation as Emperor Hongwu, but because of the difficult living environment before, all of them seem old-fashioned.

Several people were in such a state that they couldn't even go down the stairs alone, and they were hung from the boat in baskets.

"I, I will die here." An old man barely crawled out of the basket and said stubbornly as he stood up with difficulty, "Even if I turn into mud or dirt, I will still be the dirt of our big man and raise me Don't let them use the flowers and plants of the big man."

"Brother, you don't look too old, so don't say such things," Emperor Hongwu personally helped him to sit on a soft stool, and comforted him, "The good days of our age are yet to come .Look at me, I grow vegetables to amuse chickens and ducks when I have nothing to do, and ask my son and grandson to help me when I have something to do. What a joyful life I am living.”

The old man glanced at Emperor Hongwu who was supporting him, and then at the young man who was supporting him with the other hand. Before that, he had not seen any movement from his lower body when he was sitting in his pocket. Seeing his gentle attitude, he regarded him as a Come pick up family members.

After shaking his beard, the old man said sadly: "Brother, you don't know, we are not as comfortable as you. My brother and I despise Japanese women, and have been single all our lives. Let's be honest with our old bones, just come back and wait Damn, I just don’t know if the money we saved there can be used here.”

"It can be used, of course it can be used. Don't worry, old brother. You don't have to worry about anything when you come back. The imperial court has made arrangements for you." Emperor Hongwu patted his shoulder gently and comforted him, "If you have a home, go home. The imperial court will give you subsidies, and if you can’t find them, they will give you houses and treat your illnesses, in short, you will live a good life when you come back.”

"As long as you live, all good days are ahead."
