Under the warm hospitality of King Fu, Mao Wenlong and his entourage lived in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, although it did not have the style of Beijing, but it also showed the style of the emperor. The previous prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can be seen, and Mao Wenlong is very sorry for this.

The Ming Dynasty has come to this point, in addition to the strange emperor and internal contradictions, in Mao Wenlong's view, it is the closure of the country that is the main culprit that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

A country does not want to develop externally, and fights its own people all day long, completely ignoring the changes in the outside world. Well, now the evil consequences have come, but it is these unscrupulous descendants who suffer.

Just like now, the Ming Dynasty is already in danger, but everyone is still working in their own way, and there is still constant infighting. If we don't turn everyone's eyes into the same external world, Mao Wenlong feels that Daming will always follow the original trajectory of history.

The swaying carriage was still moving forward, but Mao Wenlong's thoughts had drifted out of the sky, full of cranky thoughts. One moment in the past life, one moment in the present, he was completely immersed in his own world.

King Fu and Mao Wenlong were in the same carriage, he didn't know what happened to Mao Wenlong, and he didn't see him say a word along the way.

"Phew!"

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the groom's voice sounded outside at the same time: "Lord Wang, the shipyard has arrived." ”

King Fu lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, the wilderness was full of desolate places: "Where birds don't lay eggs, what's so beautiful about this." ”

King Fu muttered and then returned to the carriage, only to see that Mao Wenlong was still the same as the old monk sitting in meditation. King Fu rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Mao Wenlong: "Brother Mao, we have arrived." ”

Mao Wenlong woke up in a trance, and he looked at King Fu in a daze for a while before he said, "Have we arrived?" ”

King Fu's face was full of doubts, nodded and said, "We've arrived, Brother Mao, are you uncomfortable?" Why don't we go back first and come back later? ”

Mao Wenlong smiled, got up and got out of the carriage and said, "It's okay, I just close my eyes and be quiet." ”

King Fu saw that Mao Wenlong was moving quickly, and it was indeed not like his body, so he no longer struggled.

This place is an absolutely desolate place, the estuary of the Yangtze River, where Zheng He built a shipyard and built the world's largest fortune ship. And led the fleet to take the lead in the open sea voyage to the world.

It's a pity that his life was not good, Zhu Di couldn't support it to the end, and in the end, the matter of the Great Voyage was just a flash in the pan and died.

Mao Wenlong looked up and looked around, this place had become a barren beach, and the surrounding area was deserted. In the distance, most of the houses in the shipyard have collapsed, overgrown with weeds, and give the impression of desolation.

"This is the shipyard built by Mr. Zheng He during his lifetime?" Mao Wenlong pointed to the desolate land in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

"Here's it, do Brother Mao have any doubts?" King Fu took it for granted, and didn't notice the deep disappointment in Mao Wenlong's eyes at all.

In Mao Wenlong's opinion, Da Ming is now guarding such a treasure but ignoring it, and even letting it go unchecked, which is really annoying.

Mao Wenlong was too lazy to talk to King Fu anymore, he had already seen that King Fu was also unaware of the other world on the sea. The two couldn't communicate mentally, and Mao Wenlong talked to him, just playing the piano to the cow.

Signaling Haoda to open the way in front, Mao Wenlong took the first step towards the shipyard, which had collapsed most of it. At this moment, he no longer had much hope in his heart, after all, it was completely delusional to be abandoned into such a shipyard, and he could still expect the previous Zheng He to leave anything good here.

There was no road on the way forward, some were just waist-high weeds, and Haoda and two guards waved their knives in front of them to chop the grass, and quickly cleared a path.

The group soon arrived outside the gate of the shipyard, and the big lock on it was completely rusted, and Hao Da did not hesitate to swing his knife and cut down, and the big lock broke and fell to the ground with a sound. When the door was pushed, there was a squeak of grinding teeth.

Fortunately, the gate looks of good material, and although it has gone through many years of ups and downs, it is still quite strong and has not rotted because of it.

Entering the gate of the shipyard, there is a large open space inside, and on one side near the Yangtze River are a dozen huge ponds, and on the other side is a row of old wooden buildings that have collapsed in half.

Mao Wenlong took the lead in walking towards the row of wooden buildings, and King Fu followed behind Mao Wenlong, his face full of reluctance. In his opinion, there is nothing to be nostalgic for here, and I don't know what kind of nerves Mao Wenlong has, so he has to come to this place where birds don't?

The wooden buildings that collapsed were used as the quarters of shipbuilders, and those that did not collapse were the workshops of shipbuilders. Seeing this, Mao Wenlong rekindled hope, and he looked forward to keeping some useful things in these workshops.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the largest workshop, but King Fu pulled Mao Wenlong back, and he said: "Brother Mao, wait, this place has been abandoned for a long time, you see that this house has rotted in many places, and it is too dangerous for us to go in like this." Why don't you let the guards go in and move things out, what do you think? ”

Mao Wenlong shook off King Fu's hand and snorted coldly: "If Brother Zhu is afraid of danger, then please take care of yourself." ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong, accompanied by Haoda and others, resolutely entered the workshop in front of him.

King Fu hesitated at the door, and had no choice but to venture in. He saw that Mao Wenlong attached so much importance to this place, and he also thought about whether there would really be any rare treasures in it.

The so-called seeers have a share, if they miss sharing the treasure together because they are afraid of this little danger, King Fu feels that it is not cost-effective. So, he followed.

As soon as I walked into the workshop, it was pitch black, and the doors and windows inside were all locked, and no light could penetrate in.

Mao Wenlong motioned for them to open all the windows, and the workshop gradually lit up. Mao Wenlong saw that the things inside were in a mess, and the ground was full of tools for digging boats.

"Brother Zhu, do you know how long this place has been deserted?" Mao Wenlong suddenly turned around and asked King Fu behind him.

King Fu shook his head and said, "Ever since I came to Nanjing, this place has been deserted. Brother Mao, what are you looking for, can't you tell me about your brother? ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and said to King Fu seriously: "Let your people come in, and help me move all the paper or anything with patterns that have been left here." ”

Seeing that Mao Wenlong still refused to say it explicitly, King Fu stopped entanglement, and after doing what Mao Wenlong instructed, he quietly stayed by Mao Wenlong's side, waiting for the moment when his doubts were revealed.
