Accompanied by Liu Jin and Fu Han, he visited many places in the Beijing-Tianjin area, such as Miyun Iron Works, Caiyun Textile Factory, Tianjin Shipyard, Tianjin Port, Daming Royal Military Academy, Daming Medical College, etc.
Seeing with his own eyes the powerful productivity and advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty made him see the huge gap like a chasm between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, I only saw the military gap and believed that as long as the Ottoman Empire armed a strong enough army, it would still be possible for the Ottoman Empire to avenge its previous humiliation with the Ming Empire.
But now, having truly seen the powerful side of the Ming Empire, Ali Pasha knew very well that the Ottoman Empire was no match for the Ming Empire.
If you provoke the Ming Empire again, you will only bring humiliation to yourself and be beaten even worse.
Sitting on the train from Tianjin back to Beijing, looking at the scenery outside the window.
What we see in the Beijing-Tianjin area is different from that in the Western Region and Hezhong area. Here, there are many villages and they are very lively. There are many people in each village and the houses are all beautifully built.
As for the vast plains, it is rare to see wheat growing there. Basically, vegetables, fruits, corn and sweet potatoes are grown, and huge farms can be seen everywhere.
It can be seen that the people here are obviously richer than those in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. The best fertile fields are no longer used to grow food. It is said that the two big cities in the Beijing-Tianjin area have a population of more than 10 million, and all the food they need is Transported from Liaodong, Jiangnan, and Nanyang.
In the land around the Beijing-Tianjin area, it is not profitable to grow food. On the contrary, it is more profitable to grow vegetables, fruits, and engage in breeding, because the huge urban population is a bottomless pit, and no matter how much vegetables and fruits are digested, it can be digested.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, seems to have a lot of things on his mind!"
Liu Jin looked at Ali Pasha, and he could actually understand Ali Pasha's mood, just like what Li Hongzhang saw when he went to the beautiful country in later generations.
When you see the huge gap between the two countries, the despairing gap, you can imagine how you feel in your heart.
The Ali Pasha in front of me is probably similar.
The people of the Ottoman Empire have always been very proud and confident. As a large empire spanning three continents, they punched Europeans, stepped on Persians, hugged Caucasian beauties, and sat on their butts with Arabian camels. How could they not be confident? ? Not proud?
But now, the Ming Empire has beaten them to a pulp militarily, ceded territory to pay compensation, and signed a contract that humiliated the country and lost power. After visiting the Ming Dynasty in person, I can see the huge gap, and the pride and confidence in my heart have disappeared. The child was torn to pieces, and naturally he became very worried.
"Before I came to the Ming Empire, I had already heard about you, Liu Shangshu. You are a descendant of an elite and talented. You have formulated many effective policies for the development of the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty the most powerful in the world. nation."
"This time, I have the honor to meet Liu Shangshu and have the opportunity to ask you for some advice on how to govern the country. It is really a blessing for me."
Ali Pasha came back to his senses, with a smile on his face, and looked at Liu Jin carefully again.
¡°If you hadn¡¯t seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult for anyone to imagine that the young man in front of you was the one who led the great changes in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years.
A careful study of the history of the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years reveals that Liu Jin was involved in almost all major events. It was only with Liu Jin's participation that the Ming Dynasty continued to reform and become stronger.
Ali Pasha wanted to ask Liu Jin how to govern the country and see if he had any suggestions for the Ottoman Empire.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has given you the award. All of this is due to the sage, talent and strategy of our great emperor, the emperor of the ages. As a minister, I am only playing a supporting role."
Liu Jin heard this and replied humbly.
"Master Shangshu, you are humble."
¡°When I came to Daming, I was deeply moved by what I saw and heard along the way.¡±
"Our Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire have many things in common. They are both large empires with vast territories, huge populations, and wise monarchs."
"Historically, our two countries also had good exchanges. It was just a few years ago that some conflicts arose due to a small misunderstanding, but now the hostility has turned into friendship."
¡°I am also deeply happy to see the strength and prosperity of the Ming Empire today, and I hope to learn something from the strength and prosperity of the Ming Empire.¡±
"My lord, Shangshu, is a son of an eminent person and a famous minister who is famous all over the world. He has a lot of ambitions. I wonder if he can give us the Ottoman Empire.""There is the Black Sea on the back, and only the west, that is, the European side, is the fertile land."
"The Ottoman Empire has always focused on the east and has not expanded to the west. I think this is the biggest strategic mistake. The Ottoman Empire should expand to the west and occupy fertile land so that it can have more people and more fields. , instead of developing towards the east and south, it is hard to say, the key is that most of the areas are still desert areas, even if it is obtained, it will not have much effect."
"To the west, the land is fertile, the climate is humid, there are many great plains, and the population is large. The people you catch and sell as slaves can make your Ottoman Empire a lot of money. The only thing you need to consider is how to defeat Europe. people."
Liu Jin desperately deceived the Ottoman Empire to expand westward, adding fuel to the fire to the Europeans and finding a powerful opponent. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
