"Sage, the ship has been moored in Yin County. The guards have been tightly guarded around, so it is safe to do so. Zhou Xiaoqi, the general manager of the Mingzhou Development Department, Yang Aguo, the general manager of the Mingzhou Grand Priest, and Wu Yixuan, the general doctor of the Mingzhou Grand Priest, all of them are waiting on the dock. If the saint wants to summon him, I will ask them to board the boat..."

The person who spoke was Yang Po'er. Although Chen Dexing's chief supervisor and personal secretary was a little older, he had already gone to the 4th. However, he was becoming more and more meticulous in his work, which made Chen Dexing feel at ease and easy to use. Because she was a female sermon, she could not have been sent out to be a county magistrate like the male secretary in the Secretariat. Therefore, the secretariat manager asked her to serve as a part-time position.

Of course, this woman can have such status and power, which is related to Chen Dexing's eunuchs without using eunuchs. Throughout the dynasties, eunuchs were the emperor's personal personalities, and they were all trustworthy. Chen Dexing actually had no way to use it without using it. Chen Li stipulated that Han people should not be slaves, so naturally they could not be eunuchs. So the only ones who replace eunuchs in Chen Ming's palace were a noble female official like Yang Po'er.

It is now the autumn of the first year of the Tiandao in Daming, and Chen Dexing is on his way back to Yanjing. The route back is to arrive at Qingyuan Prefecture through the canal, and then return to the north by boat. In addition, Chen Dexing has another purpose to arrive at Qingyuan Prefecture, which is to see him off for the Mingzhou pioneer team.

Chen Dexing's Jiangnan campaign has now ended successfully. Just half a month ago, the Supreme Master Zhao Yun of Song State and Queen Zhao Liner returned to Lin'an City together. At the same time, good news came from Guangdong and Guangxi. Jiang Wanli's troops had already invaded Dali. There was no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty. There was no hurry to take Dali. Anyway, Jiang Wanli brought the Han people, so it would be better to let them educate there for a few years. After finishing the big business in the Han area, they could go and clean up slowly.

Conquering the Southern Fan, colonizing the New World and spying on the Indian Zhu are the top priority. Chen Ming’s current way of playing is also considered to be "transferring domestic conflicts", which is to enfeoff domestic warlord forces abroad, and at the same time use the gold and silver of the New World to solve domestic financial problems. It is basically the Western Zhou Dynasty and Spain model.

Therefore, Dali Kingdom was not busy fighting, Hetao, Hexi was not busy collecting. Uszang even threw it aside first. Nanfan, New World and Tianzhu had to hurry up to start. This method was a bit strange in each dynasty after the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it was just right for Chen Ming.

After all, Chen Ming is the only maritime power country in China’s history!

The rise of Chen Ming was inseparable from the wealth of the maritime trade in the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be said that the money of the maritime merchants in the Southern Song Dynasty allowed the Chen Ming regime to grow. After successfully seizing the so-called world, Chen Ming's finances still had to rely on the gold and silver of the New World, the trade between China and India, and the Southern Federation, and the contribution of major industrial and commercial cities in the north and south.

The traditional land tax and land tax have made extremely limited contributions to finance. This situation is of course related to the military system and local autonomy realized by the Ming Dynasty.

On the one hand, almost all the Ming army are linked to land. After pacifying Jiangnan, the Ming army's military system will continue to be reformed and will be simplified into two types of Eight Banners soldiers who have the obligation to serve for generations and military households with only one generation of people who have the obligation to serve will be classified as military households and are only recruited from non-Han people. In addition, military households can be promoted to sirens as long as they make contributions. In order to support the increasingly large number of military households, military households and a large amount of land will be distributed, and a powerful military aristocratic landlord class is also gradually formed. Due to their existence and growth, the Chen Ming court could only adopt a low-agricultural tax policy.

On the other hand, local lords and gentry autonomy also determines that local governments must have a certain financial foundation, otherwise autonomy will be impossible. Therefore, land taxes and some municipal taxes have become the pillars of local finances. They will be used for local government expenses, local education and construction expenses.

In this way, Chen Ming's finances (referring to the central finance) could only be based on maritime trade and industry and commerce.

Without industry and commerce and taxes on maritime trade, the Chen Ming Empire would collapse immediately. This is actually a kind of forced force. Without money, there would be no empire. Without empire, no lord, gentry or emperor, the interests would not be guaranteed. This forced force has become a huge driving force for the country to promote industry and commerce and develop overseas trade.

And this driving force is now reflected in the three major events of Mingzhou development, building Jiangdu and pioneering Nanfan.

That's why Chen Dexing came to Mingzhou to see off for Mingzhou Development Team.

Compared with the scale of the previous two Mingzhou expeditions, the first Mingzhou pioneer fleet that will voyage this time is a huge momentum! The flagship of the pioneer fleet is the largest and fastest "New World" with the Ming Navy. There are four new "New World" class ships that have just entered service, named "Pacific", "Jinshan City", "Yinshan Port" and "Shenzhou City". These are all large ships with a standard loading stone of up to 5,000 stones. If thirty-four four-inch long cannons (only ten four-inch long cannons are retained) and most of the ammunition will be removed. The load tonnage can be increased by 50%. The unprecedented 7,500 stones is almost 450 tons.

Moreover, the speed of this "flying scissor" sailboat is much higher than any sailboat of the same period, and the time it takes to travel between the Pacific Ocean is greatly shortened. Therefore, these five fly-scissors will carry less supplies to cross the Pacific Ocean. In this way, they can carry more passengers and cargo.

The fleet named the Third Mingzhou Expedition Team will carry 2,000 passengers, 500 horses, 500 pigs, 500 sheep, 500 cattle and 6,000 stone cargo to Mingzhou. The goods are mainly used to build weapons, as well as rice seeds and wheat seeds for sowing. The horses, pigs, sheep and cattle are prepared to be raised and bred in Mingzhou.

In addition, the cattle, horse, pigs and sheep transported to Mingzhou have another function, which is to extract the acne pus from the cattle, horse, pigs and sheep and then inoculate it to people. This is the so-called vaccination technique.

The first time acne vaccination was in the Tang Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was impossible to say that it was very popular, but there were already some people who had experienced human acne. The family of Chen Dexing's mother Guo Fuer, who was a doctor for generations, would give people acne. However, the method used was very primitive, called the "acne-clothing method", which was to wear smallpox patients' close body to children who had not had acne for several days, and use this method to trigger a low-intensity smallpox infection to achieve the purpose of immunity. However, the success rate of this method is relatively low, because it is difficult to find the diseased child, and even if it is found, it is difficult to ensure that there must be a survival smallpox virus on the **.

Therefore, the "acne-clothing method" does not have much value in promotion, and is usually only used in the World Medical Home, which often comes into contact with smallpox patients. With the blessing of Guo Fuer, Chen Dexing successfully vaccinated human acne through the acne-clothing method.

However, Chen Dexing's children no longer used this inefficient method to vaccinate acne, but Guo Fuer himself took the initiative to vaccinate them with a safer and more effective vaccination. Of course, it came from Chen Dexing's golden finger.

After Chen Dexing's children and beauties in the harem had vaccinated cowpox, Chen Dexing taught cowpox vaccination to the Medical College of Tiandao Academy, asking them to study methods of widespread promotion. However, the doctors of the Medical College spent a long time to repeatedly test the reliability and safety of cowpox. It was not until the war in the Southern Expedition to the Song Dynasty that they had just begun to teach cowpox vaccination to Taoists of Tiandaoism, Army and Navy military doctors, and teachers of Tiandao Mengtong Academy.

Moreover, the doctors from these medical hospitals have not found an effective way to maintain cowpox for a long time. If you want to grow cowpox for people, it is best to find a cow, sheep, pig, and horse infected with acne disease in order to extract fresh scabs.

Therefore, it is probably impossible to fully promote the vaccination method in the entire Ming Dynasty without ten or eight years of efforts.

According to Chen Dexing's meaning, vaccination will be carried out based on several systems such as the Tiandaoism, the Ministry of Education, the Army and Navy, and will be carried out in the order of first growing, first military and then civilians. In addition, all military and civilians who go to areas with smallpox prone to overseas development, such as those in the Nanfan and Tianzhu, should also give priority to the completion of acne.

However, the pioneers who went to Mingzhou did not have priority vaccination because Mingzhou did not have smallpox!

"My minister Zhou Xiaoqi, pay homage to the saint."

"My minister, Yang Aguo, pay homage to the saint."

"My minister Wu Yixuan, pay homage to the saint."

The three members of the Mingzhou Development Team whom Chen Dexing had named him early in the morning were brought to Chen Dexing by Yang Po'er.

"Pa'er stayed, everyone else retreated."

Chen Dexing waved his hand and asked all the servants and guards in the cabin and at the cabin door to retreat.

"Sit." Then he ordered Zhou Xiaoqi, Yang Aguo and Wu Yixuan to sit down.

After seeing all three sitting firmly on the chairs in the cabin, Chen Dexing said again: "There will be a major epidemic in Mingzhou, which is acne!"

The three of them were stunned when they heard this. Wu Yixuan, a doctor who graduated from Tiandao Academy, blurted out: "Sage, I know that Mingzhou does not have smallpox!"

Chen Dexing nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because there is no such epidemic, which is an unprecedented epidemic!" He looked at the pretty young white-faced scholar-like doctor in front of him with bright eyes, "Wu Qing, don't question my predictions. You have to do that to protect our strength in Mingzhou when the epidemic comes! Keep the few Mingzhou natives who can make all of us."

"I understand." Wu Yixuan did not dare to question the saint anymore, so he hurriedly stood up to accept the order.
Chapter completed!
