"So now Uncle Twelve tells his nephew, are you willing to go to the other side of the ocean to seal the domain?" Yoon-hee asked.

"Why, Your Majesty has already called me over, and I have been preparing for this for a year, can I still go?" Zhu Bai said in surprise.

"My nephew has always believed that twisted melons are not sweet, although I have been preparing for a year, but if Uncle Twelve is unwilling to go to me, I will not force it." Yun Xi said.

In fact, the real reason is that the mainland on the opposite side is too far away from Daming, there are 20,000 miles from Shanghai Port to the opposite side of the same latitude, even if it is more than 17,000 miles from the port of Yokohama, with the navigation technology of this era, it will be a year smaller, and from the capital to the South Seas, if it is fast, it will not take a month for a news to come over.

And the Nanyang region is basically the back garden of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty invests his attention here, there is no need to worry about any other forces that can interfere with the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the Nanyang; But the place across the ocean is much closer to Fura than Daming, and it is difficult for him to interfere with the exploration of the Atlantic Ocean by the Fula, who should have discovered the Americas at the same time as history and began to colonize the Americas.

Therefore, if a certain prince is sealed to Nanyang, even if he is unwilling, it is nothing, anyway, at most, the expansion is slower; And if the vassal kings of the Americas did not have the initiative, they would still not be able to assimilate many Yindians and establish a stable state when the Furats landed in the Americas on a large scale, and they might have been slaughtered by the Furaks. Therefore, it is necessary to find a vassal king who is willing to go to the Americas to explore.

Yun Xi stared at Zhu Bai with big embarrassed eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long while, Zhu Bai exhaled and said, "I am willing to go to the other side of the ocean to be a vassal king, if there is really a suitable land for life on the other side." ”

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'm relieved." ”

Yun Xi put the white paper on the table next to the map he had just taken out, picked up the pencil and said to Zhu Bai: "Uncle Twelve, in fact, if there is a suitable land on the other side of the ocean, you don't have to go back and forth from a very cold place in the north in the future. ”

"Now the sailors of Daming can accurately measure the latitude, and they can sail back directly from across the ocean." Yoon-hee used the pencil in his hand to point at the place in Yokohama and drew a straight line. "You can sail to Yokohama at this latitude and rest in Yokohama before returning to the port of Daming."

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to lease Yokohama from Fuso just for the land across the ocean?" Zhu Bai asked.

Yunxi nodded. "Isn't that a matter of course? There are still a few islands east of Yokohama, but there are not even a few people, and there is no need to control Yokohama for the sake of those islands. ”

"Of course, even if there is no land on the other side of the ocean, the port of Yokohama is useful. It is also necessary to take a break from Yokohama to increase the time the sailor is adrift at sea. But if that's all there is to it, there's no need to control it, just ask the Fuso people to allow the Ming sailors to dock there. ”

Zhu Bai said after a while: "Then when will I leave?" ”

"Don't worry," Yun Xi said, "I have to wait for the beginning of spring to set off, and pass through the northernmost place in the summer to prevent many boats from being hit and sunk by ice floes." ”

"And in order to prevent there really isn't much land on the other side of the ocean and not much to eat, you have to go with a lot of food, and although you can fish, my nephew doesn't think you like to eat fish for months on end. And eating only fish is also prone to malnutrition. ”

Yun Xi expressed the opinion that "different foods provide different nutrients to the human body, so if you eat only one kind of food, it is easy to still lack a certain nutrient and get sick", because some people must eat salt, and some people in inland areas who have good family conditions have 'big neck' disease, so everyone quickly accepted Yun Xi's view. Later, this view was still circulating in the upper echelons of the country across the country, giving the powerful families one more reason to persuade the children of picky eaters not to eat partially.

Yun Xi was about to say something, but suddenly Yun Xi came back and complained to Yun Xi: "I don't know what's wrong with the past two days, my stomach is always uncomfortable." ”

Yun Xi felt that what he was going to say to Zhu Bai next was nothing if he didn't say it now, so he decided not to talk about it with Zhu Bai anymore, and said with a smile to Yun Xi: "Could it be that you have been in Yongfan for almost two years and are not used to the weather in the capital?" ”

"Perhaps." Yun Xi said. He saw the pencil and map in Yun Xi's hand, and asked, "Brother Huang, you don't have to talk to your brother, just talk to Uncle Twelve about important things." ”

"The things that the imperial brother wants to say to the twelfth uncle have been said," Yun Xi said, "There is nothing to do now." ”

Yun Xi didn't ask what they had just said. As a child of the royal family, he still understands this little thing, and he doesn't casually inquire about things that have nothing to do with him.

At this time, Yun Xi looked at Yun Xi, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "After the New Year, Yun Xi will not have to leave the capital, and after the marriage in the capital, you will return to Vladivostok City." ”

"Yunxi is also getting married. The last time I came to the capital, I remember that Yun Xi was still a child. Zhu Bai sighed.

"The last time you came to the capital, Uncle Twelve, was in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, and I was already fourteen years old at that time, and I had a crown ceremony, so I wasn't a child." Yun Xi said.

"Of course, fourteen is still a child, but at least sixteen is an adult." Zhu Bai said in a natural tone.

"Even so, Uncle Twelve has been with your nephew in Yongming for the past year, so you won't find out that your nephew has just grown up now. My nephew is already seventeen years old, and he will be eighteen years old after the New Year. Yun Xi said again.

"But for your twelfth uncle, who is already in his thirties, you are a child before you are twenty years old and have not officially married, and your uncle always subconsciously thinks that you are still a child." Zhu Baidao.

Yun Xi wanted to say more, but Yun Xi interrupted: "Okay, what are you doing with this as if you were saying a tongue twister." Yun Xi, it is estimated that Wu Zhong will visit you in your palace in the next two days, and you can see for yourself if he is available. In the future, he will be your father-in-law, although his father-in-law may not necessarily be reliable, but he will be more reliable than ordinary generals. If he doesn't have any ability, just let him stay in the capital and have a leisurely meal. ”

"And you'll have to prepare for the wedding yourself. The last three steps of the six rites must be done by you personally, and you can't be sloppy. ”

"Of course, I'm afraid there is no one with similar experience in your mansion, and the royal brother will let the twenty-second aunt help handle it."

"......," Yun Xi said a lot.

When Yun Xi finished speaking, Yun Xi was secretly surprised in his heart that Yun Xi had such a talk, and agreed: "Yes, Brother Huang." ”
