More and more foreign businessmen are coming, and Daming has become one of the preferred trading places for these foreign maritime merchants, whether it is culture, population, or economy, Daming is undoubtedly the first in the world at this moment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In the past, they didn't know that there was such a paradise country on the other side of the sea, and Zheng He's voyage was like opening up a broader maritime Silk Road.

The Ming goods he brought all made those foreign merchants tempted, navigators have always been not afraid of hardships and dangers, no matter how far away the Ming and them are, they are also willing to tie their good heads to the belt of their trousers, and come to the Ming Dynasty across the ocean.

The ministers said that the emperor wanted to open two more ports, but Zhu Di didn't seem to be moved at all, and he didn't care about it. In this way, in order to obtain greater profits, those maritime merchants began large-scale smuggling activities, and ninety percent of the ships of the Ming Dynasty were used by Zheng He for voyages, loaded with goods of the Ming Dynasty to trade with foreign countries.

Why did Zhu Di only open the Moon Port in southern Fujian, perhaps only Tang Ming knew his mind best. In the final analysis, it wasn't for a good word, Tang Ming also told Zhu Gaochi not to do those useless things. Because Zhu Di's ambition is greater than Zhu Yuanzhang's, he wants to make all the maritime trade round, and he will do it alone!

If the Ming Dynasty opens more ports, there will inevitably be more maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the big meat on the sea, will be divided by it. It's a pity that he has never been able to understand Tang Ming's painstaking efforts, opening up the port and delegating power to more maritime merchants, and Zhu Di can at least collect taxes and profit from it.

But he wanted to hold all his shares tightly in his hands, but he couldn't see that those maritime merchants could also trade with those foreign maritime merchants as long as they smuggled them. In this way, he Zhu Di didn't even get that little tax, and his share was still divided by the maritime merchants. Opportunities always coexist with dangers, and those who run the sea have never been afraid of danger.

No matter how severe Zhu Di's punishment of the smugglers is, there are always people who risk being exterminated. Nowadays, coupled with the relatively weak strength of Daming's sea cruise, smuggling is even more rampant under this premise.

Zhu Di did not accept Tang Ming's proposal, Tang Ming didn't bother to analyze for him, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and Tang Ming didn't need to risk being scolded by Zhu Di to do things that were unfavorable to him.

Today is Zheng He's day, but it is not as grand as the first time, so it can be said that this time it is a quiet walk. Yao Guangxiao accompanied this time, Tang Ming was worried that his body would not be able to withstand the turbulence of the sea, and there were some diseases, so he also prepared a lot of mung beans for them at Zheng He's request.

This thing only needs to be cultivated with water to sprout, so that sailors can eat bean sprouts and green vegetables in the vast sea. Although things are not valuable, they can save the lives of countless people, Zheng He still doesn't know what the sprouts mean to his voyage at this moment? But Tang Ming didn't want to explain too much about it, and only told him that every once in a while, everyone in the fleet must eat some bean sprouts.

The fleet left quickly, Zhu Di did not appear at the dock from beginning to end, but Zhu Gaochi came and sent Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao away with Tang Ming.

Looking at the huge fleet that had disappeared from sight, Zhu Gaochi suddenly said faintly: "When are you going to go back to Ryukyu Island, can you stay a few more days, and we will get together again." You don't know when I'll see you when I'm gone, and I'm really reluctant to let you go at this moment! ”

Although the words were a little numb, Tang Ming still saw a little sincerity in his eyes, smiled and said, "I'm just going back to Ryukyu Island, which is more than half the voyage closer than Jeju Island." If you want to see me in the future, you can just get on a boat and walk for a few days. ”

As if in order not to let the atmosphere go on any more sadly, Zhu Gaochi joked: "Actually, I'm afraid that after you leave, you will even swallow my share after you go to Ryukyu Island." If you don't give me my share, really, I really can't think of what to do with you at this time? For the sake of insurance, and also to facilitate the contact with you in the future, I am going to send someone to sit with you, which should be fine, right? ”

Tang Ming was suddenly a little annoyed, after all, Zhu Gaochi still couldn't be completely at ease with him, the suspicious gene of the emperor's family, Zhu Fatzi, was still very well inherited. However, if only one person is sent, Tang Ming can't refuse: "It's okay to say one person, so as not to make your kid suspicious all day long." ”

"Ji Gang!"

Zhu Gaochi roared behind him with a smile, Ji Gang immediately turned around from behind the goods at the dock, came to the two of them and immediately saluted: "Xiaguan Ji Gang has seen the prince, Hou Ye!" ”

"Brother Ji!"

Tang Ming screamed in surprise and stepped forward to give him a big hug, which made Ji Gang very embarrassed. But his heart was extremely warm, and from Tang Ming's expression just now, Ji Gang clearly saw full of sincerity. It's rare that the Hou Ye still remembers him, a person who has completely declined, and this love will be remembered in his heart forever!

Tang Ming didn't expect that Zhu Gaochi would let Ji Gang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, go to his Ryukyu Island, no matter what his reason was, Tang Ming had no reason to refuse. How can Ji Gang say that he used to be the head of the Jinyi Wei who leaned towards the Ming Dynasty, Tang Ming now lacks such a talent the most, he needs such a talent to cultivate a group of professional people to inquire about the news, and this candidate is none other than Ji Gang.

Zhu Gaochi was very happy that Tang Ming accepted Ji Gang, and he deliberately transferred Ji Gang back from Beiping out of consideration for Tang Ming. Tang Ming's performance just now made Zhu Gaochi know that his decision was not wrong.

The three of them returned to the treasure shipyard, and Tang Ming also decided to leave in three days, and Fei Xin would come here to pick him up when the time came. The matter of the treasure shipyard was explained to Lao Wang, he was a real person who could do things reliably, and Tang Ming had nothing to worry about him. However, his Gaochun Manor is not easy to arrange now, Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao both left, and Tang Ming couldn't find a suitable person to entrust for a while.

When he saw Zhu Gaochi, he hesitated for a moment and said to him: "You stuffed someone to me, and you should do something for me, right?" ”

Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Tang Ming said with a smile: "My Hou Ye Mansion and the Gaochun Manor help me watch it, and the Zheng Mansion will also walk around more if you have time, the old housekeeper is getting older and older now, you can help me take care of it more." ”

It turned out to be just such a trivial matter, Zhu Gaochi readily agreed to Tang Ming and accompanied him to arrange some aftermath matters, and the time of separation was getting closer and closer. Tang Ming also spent the rest of his time with Zhu Gaochi to visit those ministers who were good friends, and said goodbye to them one by one! (To be continued.) )
