After Xu Jing measured the size, he excitedly showed off to Xie Zhi: "Zhixian, I got a treasure under it, do you want to take a look?" ”

Xu Jingmen has a wide range, and he can also reach the treasure or something.

When Xu Jing said this, Xie Zhi was really a little curious.

Just didn't wait for Xie Zhi to speak, Zhu Houzhao, who was measuring his clothes on the side, eagerly asked, "What baby?" ”

If Xu Jing and these people don't know Zhu Houzhao's identity, they can still make a joke, and now that they know Zhu Houzhao's identity, they have to be more considerate of their interests and inferiority.

In response to Zhu Houzhao's inquiry, he replied in a proper manner: "Charts? ”

"Charts?" Xie Zhi blurted out and asked.

Xu Jing smiled on his face and replied: "The navigation chart is the navigation chart of the Three Treasures when the eunuchs went to the Western Ocean, and there is also a navigation log, and the customs and customs of various places along the way are recorded. ”

As soon as Xu Jing said this, Zhu Houzhao became more interested, and simply stopped measuring his clothes, ran over directly, and asked: "Zheng He's nautical chart, wasn't this nautical chart destroyed by Liu Daxia's dog thing?" ”

Since there was no one to measure the clothes, the tailor retreated sensibly.

Those civil officials have always had objections when Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West, that is, Zhu Di was born as a martial artist, and if he didn't like those civil officials, otherwise it would definitely be impossible to go to the West.

Zhu Di died, and the first thing that Zhu Gaochi abolished was Zheng He's trip to the West.

It's a pity that Zhu Gaochi has only been in power for ten months.

Zhu Zhanji, who ascended the throne after Zhu Gaochi, was neither so opposed nor so favorable to Zheng He's trip to the West.

During his reign, Zheng He led the fleet on another trip.

At that time, Zheng He was also old, and the matter was over.

Later, these charts and logbooks were collected in the palace.

The civil officials had always had a grudge against it, fearing that a successor monarch would make another voyage on a whim.

finally survived to the year of Hongzhi, and Liu Daxia got this opportunity.

Just don't do it endlessly, just get it gone, and you can rest assured when you fight.

Xie Zhi grabbed a logbook and glanced at it, the handwriting was very new, and it didn't look like it had been preserved for a hundred years, and it didn't look like it had been written over the years, but it seemed to have been written in a short period of time.

If you have doubts, you have to say it, Xie Zhi said the doubt of the handwriting.

Xu Jing smiled slightly and explained: "This is really not the original map of the Three Treasures Eunuch when he was sailing, it is a transcription, it is said that it was secretly copied by the palace officials, and it was also bought from a merchant in the next place. ”

Xu Jing explained without hurry, Xie Zhi wanted to find out this person and beat him up.

Whether Zheng He's trip to the West was more beneficial than disadvantageous, or whether the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, this thing can be regarded as the wealth of the nation, right?

For his own selfish gain, he just sold it?

What's more, even under the guise of being good for the court, he directly destroyed such a large amount of wealth.

Xie Zhi snorted coldly and scolded: "What are the things, who stole them, this matter has to be investigated..."

Xu Jing didn't expect Xie Zhi's emotions to be so big, and he paused and explained: "This thing didn't just flow out of the palace today, I don't know how many times I changed hands when I got this object, the person who stole it has long been impossible to find out, even if the person can be found, that person is probably no longer alive..."

As soon as Xu Jing explained this, Xie Zhi's mood calmed down a bit.

It's really that he's a little too excited, it's not the first time something like this has happened, if he's so angry, then he has to be angry...

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and smiled slightly, and said, "Is this nautical chart accurate..."

If it were only a transcription, there would have been mistakes.

Xu Jing replied with an oath: "It should be accurate, if there is a mistake, it is in some small way." ”

Xu Jing is so positive, it can be seen that he is also looking forward to the matter of sailing.

Xie Zhi raised his head and asked with a smile, "What?" Do you have this in mind? ”

After a long time, Xu Jing said: "I have this thought, but I also know that if I want to do this, it is not so easy, not only does it require huge manpower and material resources, but even the court will not respond so easily." ”

Xie Zhi had this idea a long time ago, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

Now that the chart has also been found, the opportunity is just right, but the resistance from the imperial court, with Zhu Houzhao to deal with it, it is not difficult at all.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and asked with a smile, "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and replied: "This palace feels very good, just let those barbarians overseas see the strength of my Ming Dynasty... Folklore has it that Emperor Taizong sent the Three Treasures eunuch to the West to find Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Taizong is eloquent and strategic, and he is the person who belongs to the destiny of heaven, how can he care about a Zhu Yunwen..."

This guy is fierce enough, and the royal secret doesn't even want to say it.

Xie Zhi looked up at the roof and said to Xu Jing: "Father Heng, you see that there are nets there, and it is almost the New Year, you have to find someone to clean it, the new year is new." ”

Xu Jing also understood, and replied to Xie Zhi: "There are also there." ”

Xie Zhi sighed: "It's still too tolerant of the following, and I am more diligent on weekdays, how can there be these things..."

Xie Zhi and Xu Jing sang and harmonized, and Zhu Houzhao naturally knew the reason, sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and didn't drink the hot tea, and shouted outward: "Gu Dayong... Bring tea to Hongu..."

Since Zhu Houzhao is no longer on this issue, Xie Zhi can also speak, and said, "I think it is feasible to go to the sea, but the key is to earn silver, and on the other hand, I also have to bring back those rare objects overseas to serve my Daming..."

Xie Zhi's agreement, Xu Jing was very excited, and asked, "So, Zhixian, you agree to go to the sea?" ”

The original Xie Zhi asked by Xu Jing, but Zhu Houzhao on the side replied impatiently: "You heard it right, Xie Wu agreed, Xie Wu, go to the sea and go to the palace, and the palace has never been overseas?" ”

This guy has a big face, he hasn't been there, as if someone else has been?

Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao ruthlessly, and said angrily: "If Your Highness goes, this matter will not be done, Your Highness should stay in the clouds obediently..."

Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi have known each other for so many years, and he knows that if Xie Zhi refuses in person, he will basically be out of action in the end, and he will no longer speak.

Naturally, the mood is not much better.

Xie Zhi didn't bother to deal with him, and continued to say to Xu Jing: "The key to this matter is to build a big ship, so let's get three ships first and try the situation." ”

After a pause, Xie Zhi added: "This ship must not only be used as a ship, but also as a warship when needed, so it also has to be loaded with artillery... The Japanese have repeatedly violated our southeast coast, and this tone will come sooner or later. ”

Thinking of this question, Xie Zhi was even more angry.

The courtiers who lived in the temples did not know what to eat, and did not want to strengthen their own strength, but destroyed the charts accumulated by experience.

If this map had not been destroyed, and it had been converted into a warship on the basis of the seafaring treasure ship of the past, how could the mere Japanese robbers dare to commit crimes?

Xie Zhi's opinion, Xu Jing did not object.

Wouldn't it be more sturdy to be able to act as a warship?

"Zhixian, when will it start?"

Xie Zhi is not a person who likes to procrastinate, since he agreed, he did it earlier.

Xie Zhi said: "Look at it yourself, there are only two or three months left in winter, and in these two or three months, if you can get the treasure ship out, you will be able to go directly to the sea at the beginning of spring..."

Xu Jing smiled and said: "Don't joke about the county, how can it be completed in two or three months..."

Xu Jing is also telling the truth, in order to withstand the strong wind at sea, every nail must be done tightly, and no small detail can be sloppy.

Xie Zhi smiled and said: "Let's start immediately, the nearest seaport is only Tianjin, try it in Tianjin Weizhong, don't rush into the water, you have to be careful... All employment benefits are the same as those of the pottery workshop... If you earn more than the usual amount per month, you have to pay five cents in tax..."

It's really not much to collect five cents in taxes for a thousand copper plates.

With such thoughts, Xie Zhi often said that Xu Jing was in charge of these things, so it would be easier to figure it out, so he didn't ask too much, and replied: "Okay..."

Subsequently, Xie Zhi said: "After the Chinese New Year, Yunzhong also implements such a standard, and you have to pay five taxes for the imperial court every month..."
