Chapter 782: Only with merit can there be celebration and rewards, and with faults there must be punishment

The road to heaven is firmly controlled by the cheap scholars. Wang Qian's meaning is to open up a promotion route for official status through the science and engineering line, open up the promotion channel, and everyone can ascend.

This is one order opening the gate of heaven, and ten thousand paths shaking the universe.

If this promotion gate of heaven is not opened, don't blame the Great Ming scholars for not being willing to take off their long gowns to learn mathematics, astronomy, machinery, surveying, etc., and don't blame the students of the Imperial Institute of Technology for looking for higher labor rewards.

If you can't get power and you can't get silver, what's the use of learning this mathematics?

There are three thousand avenues, only the Confucian school is orthodox. Only by learning Confucianism thoroughly can one enter the official career. Others are side doors. If you can't enter the official career after learning, it is the study of the lower nine streams. Who would do it?

Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—this land in the Central Plains for five thousand years, only scholars have always stood in the high position of the ruling class. Even in the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, scholars were the ruling class.

Scholars must enter the official career to be scholars. If they can't enter the official career, they are not scholars.

This is a very shallow and self-evident truth.

Wang Qian's meaning is very clear: if you want the Great Ming to obtain continuous progress in productive forces and want to break the preferential treatment of the local gentry, you must break their monopoly on power or the imperial examination!

No need to think, as long as Wang Qian's statement spreads, he will be a sycophant and traitor who shakes the foundation of the country. He can't bear this crime; this sin is really too big.

Zhu Yijun can bear it, because he really has 100,000 capital camp elite troops, and they are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles.

Not convinced?! If not convinced, fight to the capital and kick his head as a ball!

As for after death, he couldn't manage the afterlife anyway. The founding Emperor couldn't manage the afterlife, and Zhu Yijun wouldn't waste his energy at all.

"This method of yours is very good. I will ask the Cabinet in a few days; do not worry. You can work at the Yanxing Tower with peace of mind." Zhu Yijun signaled to Wang Qian not to worry about so many irrelevant things. This kind of private summons and memorial response did not have a Central Secretariat official writing the daily records.

The only one who shakes the foundation of the country is Zhu Yijun, the emperor who does not do his proper job and deviates from the classics.

"Your servant thanks Your Majesty for your great grace." Wang Qian bowed again and chose to withdraw.

When he walked out of the Tonghe Palace Imperial Study, he looked back.

He knew clearly! His Majesty is an extremely brave person, standing in front of everyone like a high mountain. Before the Optimus Prime falls, those storms cannot fall on the heads of those of them who do things.

Wang Qian's eyeballs rolled, and he laughed. He suddenly could understand why his father and the Grand Minister and the others continued to push for the New Deal so boldly.

Because His Majesty is young and can live to exhaust those stubborn restorationists to death.

By that day, everyone who grew up in the Wanli Reform would naturally gather together to protect the New Deal, because they grew up in this environment and took the Wanli Reform for granted and as it should be.

"Censor Wang, please stay. His Majesty said that the Second Auxiliary Minister Wang is old. As the winter gets colder, please trouble Censor Wang to bring this pair of knee pads woven from Dodo bird fine down back to the Second Auxiliary Minister." Zhang Hong stopped Wang Qian and handed a pair of knee pads to Wang Qian.

Wang Qian hurriedly took it, bowed respectfully to the Imperial Study, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your vast imperial grace!"

Is this a knee pad?! This is holy favor!

This thing is more precious than any death-exemption gold medal.

Death-exemption gold medals really can't exempt death, but His Majesty's holy favor can always turn danger into safety.

Zhang Hong smiled and said: "These two Dodo birds are handed over to Censor Wang. His Majesty said: Dodo birds are easy to raise. They will tidy up their nests, comb their feathers, are not picky eaters, and are not aggressive."

"His Majesty also said: This national reform is a long way to go. I am alone, and I cannot avoid being exhausted. We must forge ahead."

"Your servant obeys the decree." Wang Qian bowed again to the Imperial Study, holding two young birds, and returned to his home happily.

As soon as Wang Qian entered the door, he said loudly: "Father! His Majesty asked me to bring you a pair of knee pads."

Wang Chonggu put down the letter in his hand, was stunned for a moment, then frowned, then his face changed greatly, and he stood up abruptly, reached out and took the knee pads, rubbed them simply, and then looked at Wang Qian with full suspicion: "When you left, you said His Majesty was going to hold you accountable. Why did you bring back a pair of knee pads when you came back?!"

"And two birds!"

Wang Qian handed the two birds to the steward. He didn't have to raise them himself, so he smiled and said: "Uh, Father, listen to me slowly."

Wang Qian picked some key points and told Wang Chonggu, only missing the part about the Nine Dragon Academy and the special imperial examination scholar, mainly talking about the various things in Yanxinglou Trading House.

"Wrong, His Majesty has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you didn't do anything else, His Majesty couldn't have rewarded a pair of knee pads! You honestly explain, what exactly did you do!" Wang Chonggu was old and refined. He knew the Emperor very well. In short, the Emperor was Zhang Juzheng's good student.

Only with merit can there be celebration and rewards, and with faults there must be punishment.

Obviously, Wang Qian did something he didn't know, and made a great achievement. You must know that except for the Emperor, only Zhang Juzheng's family had a jacket made of Dodo bird fine down.

"It's just a small suggestion that is insignificant regarding the talent retention of the Imperial Academy of Sciences." Wang Qian shook his head repeatedly, afraid of angering his father to death, so he carefully told his suggestion.

After Wang Chonggu heard it, he walked around the room twice and said: "This... your method is better than mine. I was indeed a bit wishful. Eh, His Majesty said not to tell outsiders?"

Wang Qian nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty said he would ask the cabinet himself."

"What a good scapegoat, His Majesty actually doesn't use it!" Wang Chonggu said with great emotion: "When this decree begins to be implemented, it will definitely be full of complaints. The longer it takes, the greater the resentment."

"At that time, push you to the outside of the Meridian Gate, cut off your head, and this decree will be implemented, and the resentment will be appeased."

"Father!" Wang Qian stood up abruptly and said: "I am your own son!"

"Anyway, you already have three sons and two daughters." Wang Chonggu said indifferently: "If you die, it can be considered as dying generously for the country. Dying in the right place, our old Wang family can also retreat bravely. Isn't it beautiful?"

"I'm not talking to you anymore!" Wang Qian trembled with anger, and finally flicked his sleeves and went to Yanxinglou to cut leeks.

On this day, Yanxinglou echoed with wailing and resentment. Originally, it was just a simple technical adjustment in the past few days, but it turned into a sharp blade that killed blood.

In fact, Wang Chonggu knew very well that the Emperor would not use Wang Qian as a scapegoat. The reason was the same as the Emperor's motivation for protecting Zhang Juzheng's reputation.

If Wang Qian was really chopped as a scapegoat, the hearts of the people would be scattered, and this vigorous Wanli Reform would end.

His Majesty needs more people to stand firmly behind the Emperor. The wind and waves cannot be carried by His Majesty alone, but if there are endless comrades behind His Majesty, they will block the monstrous waves.

Politics is complicated, with thousands of threads, but simple, it's just the hearts of the people.

Many things are like this. If you want to be decent, the result is a mess. Wang Qian's words and deeds cannot be called decent, but what he wants to do is to ensure that he won't be a mess.

His Majesty has been doing things for so many years, just one sentence: glory is never shared, and sin is never shirked!

Shen Shixing, the fifth-rank Ministry of Revenue clerk and Governor of Songjiang and Zhejiang, returned to Songjiang Prefecture from Hangzhou Prefecture.

Li Hongdao, the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, indulged the local gentry in forming a returning bandit group, bullying the good, suppressing tenant farmers, forcing the Nanchu Academy instructor Shen Shiqing to rebel, and the Sanjiang Camp soldiers guarding Taizhou Prefecture broke into the prefecture city.

Li Hongdao repelled the Sanjiang Camp soldiers. When he had a huge advantage, he provoked the Taizhou Prefecture Tax Inspection Office.

The tax inspection guards made the final decision, and the situation in Taizhou slowly stabilized. Zhejiang land return began to accelerate.

As soon as Shen Shixing landed, he encountered such a thing, and naturally ate the punishment of the imperial court, being demoted by three ranks again, and governing two places as a fifth-rank governor.

But no one regarded Shen Shixing as a joke in the Great Ming officialdom anymore.

A fifth-rank governor of two places, this is not funny at all. On the contrary, after several ups and downs, Shen Shixing is no longer the "master of balancing" who was "hello, hello" in the past.

If he becomes the Grand Minister in the future, I am afraid he will be more ruthless than Zhang Juzheng.

"Back to Songjiang Prefecture, don't make any moths." Shen Shixing looked at the approaching Songjiang Prefecture city and muttered to himself.

Outside the carriage, the sound of horse hooves was constant. Shen Shixing sat up with a start. He opened the carriage window and looked at the courier who came quickly.

"Whoa!" The courier reined in the horse and walked slowly, without dismounting, and said with a fist: "Governor, Yao Guangguang, the magistrate of Shanghai, is waiting for the Governor at the prefecture office."

"What's the matter with him?" Shen Shixing frowned and said: "Is it still the soul-calling matter? He has already bet his life on it. No one can curse him to death. Isn't this case already closed?"

"Magistrate Yao didn't say what it was." The courier didn't know what happened either. Anyway, when Yao Guangguang came, he was mysterious and avoided people. He entered the prefecture office directly from the back door. Obviously, there was something to discuss.

"I know." Shen Shixing knew very well that he was in this position now, it was not a blessing but a disaster, and if it was a disaster, he couldn't hide. He could only face it calmly.

He was already a fifth-rank clerk. If there was any more crime, there would only be one outcome: being dismissed from office and returning to his hometown.

Shen Shixing's carriage began to accelerate. The repaired imperial road was extremely flat. With the road-opening guards, it was smooth all the way.

Shen Shixing got out of the carriage and met Yao Guangguang. He waved his hand and said: "No need for courtesy, why is it so urgent?"

"There are evil spirits in the four counties of Songjiang Prefecture, the Jile Sect." Yao Guangguang said with a heavy expression: "Governor, this matter is of great importance. Please move to the Governor, and allow your subordinate to report in detail."

"Oh, it turns out to be evil spirits. I thought it was a civil rebellion." Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Just beat it down."

I thought it was some major event like a civil rebellion. As long as it wasn't a civil rebellion, a small evil spirit could just be beaten down.

Not to mention evil spirits, even if the Buddhist sect or the Hui people made trouble, they would be beaten if they should be. When these sects first arrived in the Central Plains, they were not in this harmless appearance.

The recent soul-calling case was not these big monks selling anxiety, so it wouldn't have reached the point of disturbing the holy hearing.

Songjiang Prefecture is still better. Shen Shixing is not in Songjiang Prefecture. If something goes wrong, it still won't affect his official career, unlike Zhejiang. Zhejiang is a bit evil and relatively gram-governor, plus a Yan Shixuan who grams his superiors. That place is trembling every time he goes.

"This time it's a bit different." Yao Guangguang said with some difficulty: "Foreign sect, from Japan."

"Doesn't Japan believe in Buddhism? How can there be something like the Jile Sect?" Shen Shixing was stunned, but thinking that Western missionaries were preaching in Japan before the Great Ming arrived, it was not strange to give birth to any strange evil spirits.

When people are lost, they will feel pain. When they are in pain, they will seek comfort. If they want to find that other shore, they will often resort to religion.

The Great Ming army entered Japan and interrupted the spread of Western sects in Japan. The Jile Sect replaced the ecological niche of Western sects and even backfired on the Great Ming. The Jile Sect spread to the Great Ming through Japanese women entering the Ming.

Yao Guangguang briefly introduced the birth and spread of the Jile Sect, and said with worry: "If it is transmitted from overseas, it is not overseas, and the roots are pulled out. Just banning it in the Great Ming is afraid of treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

Shen Shixing asked with some doubt: "Ask the Nagasaki Governor's Office to cooperate. Japanese women who believe in the Jile Sect are not allowed to be sent to the Great Ming, and they are all sent to Nanyang to be Nanyang sisters. Just split them up at the Nagasaki Governor's Office. What are the typical characteristics of this sect?"

Yao Guangguang leaned forward and said: "They have a baptism ceremony, which is to burn a 'Ming' character on their feet. In the doctrine of the Jile Sect, the Great Ming is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, not even the Tang character, but the Ming character."

Japan's name for the Great Ming is Tang, and it calls the invasion "entering Tang." This is a wolfish ambition that is obvious. That is to say, there is no China after Yashan. The Japanese don't recognize the Great Ming as the orthodox Central Plains at all. The Great Ming is a usurper, so the invasion is justified.

And this Jile Sect burns a Ming character on the ankle.

"The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is the Great Ming? This..." Shen Shixing finally knew why Yao Guangguang was facing a great enemy. This sect is not easy to eliminate.

Generally speaking, religions will fabricate a heavenly divine kingdom as the other shore. In this way, it is difficult to reach the other shore in a lifetime, and only after death is liberation. This is the basic narrative principle of most sects.

But the Jile Sect obviously doesn't take this path. It didn't fabricate, but truly constructed a divine kingdom on earth.

The most critical and troublesome thing is that this divine kingdom on earth is true, at least relative to Japan. The Great Ming has no war, social stability, grain production is rising steadily, productivity is much higher than Japan, and materials are very rich.

Yao Guangguang continued: "Religion is to guide people to liberation. The way of liberation of the Jile Sect is to enter the Ming. Baptism is to burn a Ming character on the ankle, representing that no matter what suffering they endure, they must enter the Great Ming."

"This..." Shen Shixing was rarely silent for a long time. He pondered for a long time before saying solemnly: "The reason why the divine kingdom is the divine kingdom is that it is out of reach."

"These evil spirits are unstable factors for the Great Ming. They have just landed in the Great Ming and may still be satisfied, but soon they will find that the Great Ming is not a divine kingdom on earth. The Great Ming has its own contradictions and is extremely complex."

"And they came to the Great Ming, separated from Japan's environment, and could not obtain liberation."

If you are not satisfied, you will not be humble; if you seek but cannot get, you will be resentful.

A group of Japanese people in the Great Ming who are full of resentment toward Japan and find that they have been deceived after arriving in the Great Ming and still live a hard life are unstable factors that need to be resolutely driven away.

The Great Ming is the Great Ming of the Great Ming people. These Japanese people are people without cultivation.

Shen Shixing and Yao Guangguang are both scholar-officials fed by Confucian classics. The Japanese have no cultivation. It is their growth environment and hardship that make them unable to cultivate their bodies, hearts, nature, and life, so there is no noble spirit.

Even if there is small etiquette, there is no noble spirit without great righteousness.

"Still the Governor thinks long-term." Yao Guangguang recognized Shen Shixing's judgment.

Yao Guangguang continued: "Actually, I think so too, but I'm not sure, afraid of delaying the country's great cause of destroying Japan. In the short term, there seem to be some benefits, but in the long term, I'm afraid it will become a major disaster. It's better to kill it while it hasn't sprouted."

Whether to crack down on the Jile Sect within the Great Ming and how to crack down on it requires the cooperation of the Nagasaki Governor's Office. These three questions need to be decided by Shen Shixing.

"Then I will do it." After repeatedly confirming with Shen Shixing, Yao Guangguang decided to do it.

The Jile Sect has about three hundred believers in the Great Ming, mainly Japanese women. The main sales direction of Japanese slaves is still Nanyang.

These believers spread secretly in the Great Ming. It was the Shipping Department that discovered the Ming characters on these Japanese women and noticed the abnormality. It is not difficult to beat them down.

These Japanese women are all on the register, and they have only poured into the Great Ming recently. They are still accepting Sinicization at the Songjiang Ocean-going Merchant Firm, mainly learning Sinicization and some needlework.

Yao Guangguang now has the halos of "Kelp King" and "Salt Drying King," as well as another extremely important identity, that is, the reputation accumulated in extinguishing soul-calling techniques, "Great Merit Scholar!"

Rumors in the streets say that Yao Guangguang has great merit to the people and is full of noble spirit, so he is not afraid of soul-calling techniques at all. In the light-fasting therapy, those who knew soul-calling techniques fought with Yao Guangguang for hundreds of rounds, and finally were defeated and died of backlash.

For many people, this is the truth. Someone saw it with their own eyes!

The Great Merit Scholar, on the day of the blockade, at the gate of the Shanghai County Office, fought with evil spirits for a whole day without eating or drinking, and swept away all the evil spirits in Songjiang Prefecture!

And the Great Merit Scholar is still guarding the people of Songjiang Prefecture, otherwise why would those evil spirits who know soul-calling techniques dare not make trouble again?

It must be that they are afraid of the Great Merit Scholar's supreme magic power.

This narrative, I can't say it's outrageous, I can only say it formed a logical closed loop, absurd.

Yao Guangguang posted a notice to explain that he is not a Great Merit Scholar, soul-calling technique is fake, it doesn't exist at all, and noble spirit refers to a person's cultivation, not a mouthful of noble spirit that extinguishes thousands of ghosts and evil spirits.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal. In this era without popular education, his explanation instead made people believe it was true.

Now, when the Great Merit Scholar announced that the Jile Sect was an evil spirit, the Jile Sect was an evil spirit. Since Yao Guangguang represented justice, what he opposed must represent evil.

The Jile Sect is a tool for the Japanese to seek comfort in extreme pain. This itself is a tragedy. Wherever evil spirits are rampant, tragedies happen constantly. People are powerless to change, and in order to escape reality, they resort to religion.

Yao Guangguang handled the case very smoothly and soon completed a comprehensive review of the Japanese women who had been naturalized and those who had not. After determining the list, he set off for Luzon Prefecture in a few days.

The Governor's Office is of course not a garbage dump, sending everything there, but these Jile Sects may be a disaster in the Great Ming, but there is no need to care in Luzon Prefecture. This Jile Sect overseas, on the contrary, helps to condense centripetal force and add bricks and tiles to the King's transformation.

"These captured Japanese women are all asking, what is the reason for being sent away." A master said with a puzzled expression.

Yao Guangguang thought for a while and said: "Because they are not pious enough."

The master was originally from the Yao family and left the Yao family with Yao Guangguang. The master heard the answer and was a bit silent. He felt that his young master was no longer the wanton young master he was at the beginning, and was becoming more and more like the high officials in the court. The reasons for doing things were so sufficient.

The young master at the beginning was very happy, but lived very twisted, somewhat muddling along, the days were mixed day by day, there was nothing special he wanted to do, somewhat muddled.

The current young master is very fulfilling every day. He wishes he could use a quarter of an hour as an hour. He walks in a hurry, acts in a hurry, and has endless things to do every day.

Was the young master happy at the beginning, or is he happy now? The master has no answer.

The master only knows that the young master can die for what he is doing now, whether it is planting kelp, facing the butcher knife of sea pirates, or not fearing the surging soul-calling techniques, he is all dying without turning back.

Afraid, but if he comes again, he will still make such a choice to die without turning back.

The master turned and left, telling the jailer to let them inform the Japanese women why they were sent away. With sufficient reasons, they wouldn't make trouble when they arrived in Luzon, but would be more pious and actively spread the doctrine of the Jile Sect, telling the Nanyang people that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is the Great Ming.

"When people are poor, they return to their roots, so when they are tired and exhausted, they never fail to call heaven; when they are sick and painful, they never fail to call their parents." Yao Guangguang put down his pen. He was writing a memorial. He stared blankly at this line of words.

This is a sentence selected from "Biography of Qu Yuan," meaning that when people are at the end of their rope, when they are tired and exhausted to the extreme, they will call heaven, and when they are extremely painful, they will call their parents.

County magistrate, prefect, administration commissioner, His Majesty, are all the heaven of the local people, and they are all the parents of the people.

When the common people have no way to go, they have to find heaven and parents to help, but this official, while being an official, forgets that he is the heaven of the people, forgets that he is the parents of the people, and is completely alienated by power.

Then who do the people look for?

How to be the heaven of the people and how to be the parents of the people is what Yao Guangguang wants to figure out.

For so many years, so many things, His Majesty's requirements for officials are actually very simple: it doesn't matter if you are greedy or take something, but you can't do nothing, you can't fail to do things, and you can't take bullying the people for granted.

"When Ling Bu Tang took me away from the capital, he told me that living and living, you will understand." Yao Guangguang said to himself, and continued to write the memorial, reporting the matter of the Jile Sect to the monarch in detail.

The master saw that Yao Guangguang finished the memorial and hurriedly reminded: "Zai Gong (an ancient respectful term for county magistrate), the Shanghai Bacteria Factory invites Zai Gong to go over, the Governor is almost there."

"Okay, prepare the carriage." Yao Guangguang checked the memorial again, handed it to the master to send it to the capital, and then headed to the bacteria factory.

Shen Shixing happened to arrive one step later than Yao Guangguang. Yao Guangguang led the Shanghai local officials to welcome Shen Shixing.

Shanghai Bacteria Factory, affiliated with the Shanghai County Office, is a large microbial factory built by the Shanghai County Office alone. This is also the reason why Shen Shixing rushed back from Zhejiang.

And providing technical guidance for this bacteria factory is the Shanghai Maritime Academy, now the Medical School of the Shanghai Institute of Technology.

The bacteria factory is specifically used for cultivating bacterial groups, such as penicillin provided to the Huimin Pharmacy, various wine starters provided to wineries, vinegar bacteria for brewing vinegar, yeast for making noodles, etc.

The bacteria factory distributes 30% of its profits to artisans every year, hands over 30% of its profits, keeps 30% for itself to expand production capacity, and the remaining 10% of profits provides financial support to the Shanghai Institute of Technology Medical School to cultivate various strange bacterial groups.

For example, recently the Shanghai Institute of Technology Medical School extracted a rod-shaped bacteria from kelp. This rod-shaped bacteria can ferment various products, and finally produce a fresh salt that only exists on kelp. Eating it with salt in a ratio of four to six can greatly increase the freshness of food.

Kelp is very delicious, to some extent it can be regarded as meat, because it contains this ferment.

Vinegar, wine, soy sauce, fresh salt, yogurt, tempeh, fermented bean curd, etc., are all fermented products, but the production of these fermented products often involves harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria fermenting together, which makes the flavor strange and may also be harmful.

The bacteria factory has very broad market prospects. The Shanghai National Cellar Winery wishes it could pack the production capacity of the Shanghai Bacteria Factory.

"Governor, this penicillin, three workshops can only produce eight hundred bottles of old brine a year." Yao Guangguang took Shen Shixing, walking and saying with some dissatisfaction.

The output is too low, the gap is really too big.

For example, the Shanghai Institute of Technology and Medicine recently extracted a type of bacteria from kelp. This bacteria can ferment various products and finally produce a type of fresh salt found only in kelp. When eaten in a four-to-six ratio with salt, it can greatly increase the umami of food.

Nearly ten years have passed, and the output is still sparse.

One bottle is a unit, the dosage required to treat a lung tuberculosis patient. To this day, the bacteria factory produced by Shanghai's large-scale production can only produce eight hundred bottles.

Not enough, far from enough.

"The medical school has all gone to scrape the soles of shoes, what else do you want? Be content, the output has increased eight hundred times from the initial annual production of one bottle!" Shen Shixing advised him not to be anxious. This matter cannot be rushed. If you rush, someone will cheat.

Scraping the soles of shoes is because the mud on the soles of the sailors' shoes contains various penicillin, and there are also various ballast stones, which are also objects looted by the medical school's big doctors. As long as the penicillin that increases production is found, His Majesty will not be stingy with rewards.

Since last year, Great Ming ocean-going merchant ships have brought back a large pile of mud from all over the world every year and handed it over to the Medical School of the Shanghai Maritime Academy.

Ten years have passed, and the output is still meager.

One bottle is a unit, the dosage needed to treat one tuberculosis patient. To this day, the large-scale production bacteria factory in Shanghai can only produce eight hundred bottles.

Not enough, far from enough.

"The medical school has all run off to scrape shoe soles; what else do you want? Be content; the output has increased eight hundred times from the initial annual production of one bottle!" Shen Shixing advised him not to be anxious; this matter could not be rushed. If one rushed, someone would engage in fraud.

Scraping shoe soles is because the soil on the soles of sailors' shoes contains all kinds of penicillin, and ballast stones are also objects looted by the great physicians of the medical school. As long as it increases the production of penicillin, His Majesty is never stingy with generous rewards.

Since last year, Great Ming ocean-going merchant ships have brought back a large pile of soil from various places every year and handed it over to the Shanghai Maritime Academy Medical School.
