Chapter 1329: Xiao Peng is criticized

"You! You are robbery! I want to sue you!"
"Yes! Do you know what your behavior is?"
In the conference room in Guadal Harbor, a group of scholars was patted and criticized Xiao Peng with foam flying over the table.
The Port of Gwadel is very lively now. The scientific research ship ‘Explore 1’ carrying the ‘Deep Sea Warrior’ and the scientific research ship ‘Xiangyanghong 9’ carrying the ‘Jiaolong’ are gathered here. Except for the two large deep-sea scientific research ships of China, they can get together when they stop at the Qindao National Deep-sea Base. At other times, the two ships can hardly see anyone.
This'Explore 1'scientific research ship just returned to the base from the South China Sea after completing the scientific research, but suddenly received an order to welcome a group of archaeologists to board the ship and head to Guadal Port. I knew it would not return in the South China Sea. It's a big circle of injustice; as for the'Xiangyanghong 9', it is even more miserable. They are conducting seabed biological surveys and geological sampling experiments in the Northeast Pacific, and they are directly ordered to return to the base immediately and lead the relevant staff together. Go to Gwadel to meet up.
They only knew on the way that they had found the ship in Zheng He's fleet - otherwise, why did such a group of archaeologists come here? Their two submersible boats must cooperate with the salvage work.
When hearing the news about the ships in Zheng He's fleet, everyone was gearing up, especially those archaeologists who were holding their breath.
Originally, Zheng He's voyage to the West was something China was very proud of, but in the eyes of those traitors who were doing their best, this became a thing of no trace? What’s special is that today there is still a'Zheng He Village' in Somalia. Although they have been intermarried for a long time, they are now all black people living in it, but their ancestors are all Chinese from the Zheng He fleet left in Somalia. Now a group of black brothers can speak Chinese. Is this also made up?
Now I found Zheng He's boat, and it was hitting those in the face! Let me talk nonsense! So they are excited. I hurriedly took the boat to Guadal Port.
Speaking of these veteran scholars, they are all fighting, they can take a plane to Gwadel Port and change to a boat. As a result, they have to force themselves to adapt to life at sea, and all the people who vomit don't know their surnames. After finally arriving at Gwadel Harbor, I saw Xiao Peng, but as soon as they met, a basin of cold water was poured directly on their faces.
During this period of time, Xiao Peng and the others used the ship's spare motor to make a temporary winch on the ship, welded a metal frame, and desperately salvaged the sunken ship's wealth.
There are so many things on these two sunken ships! Needless to say, "Iris", the wealth missing on the "Awamaru" is basically here. Xiao Peng found about three tons of gold and seven tons of silver. There are also some jewellery items, all of which were on the Awamaru that year, and they were found on the Iris.
Of course, there is a big gap between this and the recorded cargo volume. That's because the ‘Warrior of Four Seas’ cannot enter the interior of the ‘Iris’ hull. Yang Meng could only find things scattered outside.
But as the saying goes, "The East is not bright, the West is bright," Xiao Peng found a lot of wealth on the Zheng He fleet!
In the eyes of many people, Zheng He's voyages to the West were meant to be a ‘dispersal boy’. . . . . .
Please! Didn't you see that the gold bullion that you picked up says ‘Silver for Driving’?
What is a silver bureau? That was one of the eight rounds led by the of the Ming Dynasty! Is responsible for the royal family's money supply!
Many people think that when an emperor was an emperor in ancient times, the amount of money in the country belonged to the emperor. In fact, this is not the case. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the royal family’s money and the national treasury have been separated. Royal money is called internal money. Pooh was taken care of by the for the emperor. It is basically impossible for the emperor to have no money and want to move the treasury. It is absolutely impossible to be an emperor if you have the ancestor's ancestors to watch! The treasury is really going to be moved. A group of ministers slammed a pillar to show you! Therefore, even the emperor who is mediocre will not consider taking money from the treasury, and many emperors will also lend money to the treasury from internal money!
What should the emperor do if he wants to enrich his domestic money? Then increase the new tax, and there is nothing to do to ransack the house. All these incomes go into the emperor's internal money.
Otherwise, I would learn from Qianlong, because I didn’t have the money, so I made a ‘criminal silver’, and the officials committed crimes? Just pay for the atonement, just like the current star tax evasion and tax evasion. This action resolved Qianlong’s personal financial crisis and, of course, also caused the corruption of the Qing Dynasty.
Does anyone use money from the treasury? There are too! In history, only one person dared to use the treasury money for his own use.
That is the famous Empress Dowager Cixi, who embezzled the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy for building the Summer Palace. Then everyone knew that the Qing Dynasty was dead.
The fleet of Zheng He's voyages to the West is the fleet built by Yongle Emperor Zhu Di at his own expense. They said it was a ‘gift boy’. What was it giving away? porcelain! silk! tea! Crafts! What are you bringing back? Spices, gold and silver jewelry, rare birds and animals (to make the emperor happy)! Whose "Send Money Boy" gives money like this? Send me a dozen!
If you don't bring back enough wealth, how could Zheng He's voyages to the West have been carried out seven times? That is the benefit of the emperor! Otherwise, he doesn't have the financial resources to support him in the other voyages! If you go out and get fat, you have to support it again!
However, because the emperor saw the benefits, the eunuch's power became more and more powerful. When the court officials looked at the eunuch's power, it would naturally not work! The two sides fought to the end, and the result was that Zheng He's fleet was gone, and his voyages to the West stopped. In the end, the emperor issued an order to seal the sea, demanding that ‘the sail shall not be allowed to go into the sea’. According to Xiao Peng’s estimation, the emperor was also angry and would not let Lao Tzu make any money? Don't make any money for that special!
The sunken ship under the sea is obviously one of the cargo ships when returning home, and there are really many good things on it. There are gold, jewelry, and silver.
Yang Meng found more than 3,200 and more than 3,000 silver ingots under the sea floor. According to the Ming Dynasty's unit of measurement, fifty taels is 1865 grams, which is more than six tons of gold and six tons of silver.
It is not surprising that there is more gold than silver. After all, the ship was supposed to go to the Middle East, where there was more gold than silver. When the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the Ming Dynasty owned half of the world's silver.
In 1985, people salvaged a Portuguese merchant ship from the Wanli period with 200,000 taels of silver on it. And directly on this ship 120,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. No wonder the emperor of the Ming Dynasty supported Zheng He's voyages to the West.
During the Yongle period, how much can one or two silver buy? 200 catties of rice! Or 120 pounds of pork! The family eats spicy food for one tael a month! So many things were found on this ship, not to mention Zheng He's huge fleet?
It is estimated that Zheng He also understood that the risks of sailing were high, and he could not put eggs in a basket, so every ship had some wealth, and the profits of ocean trade were enough for the emperor at that time to laugh from ear to ear.
There are still many cultural relics with Persian characteristics on the sunken ship. At that time, the Timur Empire was still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty (PS1:). Therefore, the two countries have always maintained trade exchanges. When the clan delegation comes to trade, it must be good. Everything must be delivered. After salvaging the gold, Yang Meng went to salvage those cultural relics again.
This time he salvaged Xiao Peng deliberately and did not intervene, just considering that so many shipwrecks Xiao Peng could not go personally every time, so he wanted to train his team, right? He just provided the coordinates, and left others to be responsible for the rest.
Seeing Xiao Peng not speaking, an old scholar slapped the table abruptly, pointed at Xiao Peng, and trembling with excitement, "Do you know how much damage your behavior will cause to those cultural relics?"
Just as Xiao Peng wanted to speak, someone suddenly pushed the door of the conference room open. Xiao Peng looked back and saw that Yang Meng came in and said excitedly as he walked, "Xiao Peng, guess who I am watching at the door stealing? Listen? Oh! You are here too!"
After all the experts on the scene saw Yang Meng's face clearly, they took a collective breath.
Why is this plague also?
Ps: The Timur Empire is an empire laid down by the Turkic Timur. He is also the servant of the Chagatai Khanate of Mongolia. In its heyday, Georgia was its territory all the way to India. However, Tamerlane always called himself a minister and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty at that time. In the official letters he left, he called himself a minister, and his A lifelong dream, that is, to terminate the relationship with Daming and not pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. And Timur was indeed a cruel man, conquering Khwarazim (now Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan); conquering the Chincha Khanate, including today’s Armenia and South Caucasus are his territory; and attacking the Delhi Sultanate of India , Occupied northern India; sent troops to occupy Syria. . . . . . Let's put it this way, the Eurasian continent north of the Persian Gulf, except for Daming, is mostly his territory.
When he defeated the Ottoman Empire, the whole person floated and began to refuse to claim to Daming. He also brought an army of 200,000 to march to Daming. This is also related to Timur's identity: there have always been non-golden clans in the Mongolian tribe that cannot do it. The tradition of profuse sweat. Although Tamerlane claimed to be a khan, he was only the "Emir" of the Chagatai Khanate and not from the Golden Family. At that time, the descendant of the Golden Clan Guilichi proclaimed himself a Khan, and Timur was fighting for the position of the Khan. Anxious to prove that he is more suitable for sweating, so he marched.
It turned out to be unlucky, and he didn't wait until Daming died of illness. Then this Eastern Campaign ended without a problem.
And after he died, his grandson and son fought for the throne. In the end, the son was even better. He became king of Timur, and then resumed his relationship with the Ming Dynasty in 1409, and continued to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, which was Zheng He's fourth voyage to the West. . If the territories of the vassal kingdoms can also be counted, almost the entire Asia is the land of Ming.
By the way, after the demise of the Timur Empire, his fifth grandson, Babur, failed to restore and entered India and created the greatest dynasty Mughal Empire in Indian history. If so, Indians can Are they descendants of Turks or Mongolians?
