"Lao Liu, I'll discuss something with you~"

Zhu Houzhao played with the telescope for a while, liked it very much, and then came to Liu Jin's side, directly hooked Liu Jin's shoulder, looked very familiar with Liu Jin, and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, and thought in his mind that he seemed to be only meeting him for the second time, but since Comrade Xiao Zhu wanted to have a relationship with him, he was really desperate.

There is no way, who called him the only son of Emperor Hongzhi today, the future master of the Ming Dynasty.

"Give me both this magnifying glass and telescope~"

"It's always not okay to just let you give me something, so how about I exchange my jade pendant for these two things with you?"

Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile, then thought about it and felt embarrassed to ask Liu Jin for something, so he also took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to Liu Jin.

"Childe, this is not good, this is the Burmese tribute jade given to you by the master~"

Liu Jin hasn't said anything yet, but Liu Jin on the side is already in a hurry, how can the jade pendant worn by Zhu Houzhao be an ordinary thing, it is all royal tribute, either the treasure offered by all parts of the Ming Dynasty or the tribute paid by the Ming vassal state.

As far as the jade pendant in front of him, even Liu Jin, a layman, can see that this is definitely the top jade and carefully carved by the top craftsmen, this jade pendant is like a green spring, without a trace of flaws, and it is definitely the emperor species that later generations said.

"I said okay, can I change it?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't care at all, his cheap father, he was not afraid at all.

"You call me Lao Liu, this is to treat me as a brother, since you like this magnifying glass and telescope, brother, I will give it to you, and what else can you talk about."

Liu Jin naturally couldn't ask for the other party's jade pendant, and after thinking about it, he said with a smile.

"Okay, righteous enough~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately couldn't help but pat Liu Jin on the shoulder, he was very happy, then thought about it and said: "Your magnifying glass and telescope are all made of the best glass, and I can't just take advantage of my brother, otherwise I will definitely be laughed at." ”

"You should still take this jade pendant, otherwise I don't want this thing."

When Liu Jin heard this, he was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect this Zhu Houzhao to have such a side, think about it carefully, although this Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao has a very low evaluation in history, saying that he is greedy for cups, good SE, Shang soldiers, scoundrels, etc., acting very absurdly and mediocre.

But these are all later generations of mite Qing Xiushu deliberately blackened him, and because after the death of Ming Wuzong, he had no son, it is also very likely that Zhu Houxi, who inherited the great treasure, degraded the previous dynasty to highlight the sainthood of the successor to the Son of Heaven.

In fact, according to historical records, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is still a very accomplished monarch, during his reign he quelled the rebellion of King Ning, defeated the little Mongolian prince, and many times disaster relief and exemption are enough to show that he is actually still a monarch with achievements.

In particular, he personally led an army of 50,000 or 60,000 people to resist the invasion of the little Mongolian prince and won a huge victory, which alone is many times stronger than his ancestor Yingzong.

Maybe he is more casual in small things, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, he is still very clear.

"I said it all, since you treat me as a brother, I also treat you as a brother, this brother finally came to me for a trip, and likes some gadgets, how can I accept your precious jade pendant?"

"Take it, take it, Hugh has to mention the matter of the jade pendant again, otherwise I will be angry."

Liu Jin replied, thought about it and said: "Actually, this magnifying glass and telescope are made by me out of glass, which are not worth much at all, you can take them to play with casually, and next time I will make you a larger telescope, which can be used to see the moon at that time." ”

"Then you're welcome~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he didn't continue to be polite to Liu Jin, smiled and put the things away, and then said: "This telescope can still see things on the moon clearly?" ”

"Lao Liu, do you think there is a fairy Chang'e on this moon?"

"Of course, this telescope can see things on the moon clearly, but the multiplier in your hand is too low, you have to make a larger telescope."

"As for whether there is a Chang'e on the moon, I don't know, because I haven't been there either."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, "What is the matter with you coming to me today?" ”

"Oh, that's right, my father asked me to take charge of the fleet's trip to the Golden Continent, and I know very little, so I came over to discuss and discuss with Lao Liu."

When it came to business, Zhu Houzhao also put away the hanging child, handed over the magnifying glass and telescope to Liu Jin for safekeeping, sat on the chair, and became very serious.

"This trip to the Golden Continent really needs to be well planned and planned, in fact, I have been preparing for this matter, and I originally wanted to discuss it with Mr. Zhu and Mr. Du."

Liu Jin nodded solemnly and said, "This is very dangerous to sail in the sea, the sea is turbulent and changeable. ”

"We are also separated from the Golden Continent by a vast Pacific Ocean, and if we want to cross this Pacific Ocean, we must not only have a rich geographical knowledge reserve, but also carefully consider many aspects such as ships, manpower, and materials."

"In terms of ships, we should choose large ships as much as possible, only large ships have more ability to resist wind and waves, can carry more materials and manpower, and have a higher probability of success."

"In addition, this manpower is also to be carefully screened, it is best to carry out special training first, you must know that this to the Golden Continent, very dangerous, when we recruit people, we must specifically select those who dare to break through, dare to fight, and it is best to be the lowest people in the coast, only these people will go to break and fight, so as to change their fate."

"There is also this route in the middle of the sea, it is very likely that there will be a lot of diseases, we had better be able to find the information of the Three Treasure Eunuchs who went to the West back then, analyze and summarize these materials, and refer to the successful experience, so as to improve the success."

"About the matter of going to the Golden Continent fleet, I can't finish talking about it for a while, but to sum up, we can actually work hard from the three aspects of astronomy and geography, personnel, and ships, so as to improve the probability of success and reduce the risk as much as possible.

Liu Jin said here, Zhu Houzhao also listened very carefully, and nodded from time to time, agreeing with Liu Jin's words very much.
