Today's treasure shipyard wharf is destined to be the most lively day ever, Zheng He's fleet will arrive in Nanjing today, this news has been written by Zhu Di on the imperial list and posted throughout the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info suddenly the deeds of Zheng He became the hottest topic in Nanjing, and the common people and officials, including Zhu Di himself, were all happy.

Especially Zhu Di, Zheng He's voyage is actually the largest official foreign trade behavior, and how much he has gained this time is directly related to the necessity of continuing the voyage next time. It is also the purpose of Zhu Di to spend huge financial and material resources to build this unprecedented fleet.

Of course, his slogan to the outside world still declared that Zheng He's voyage was to make friends with neighboring countries, and trade was only to promote the strength of the Great Ming Dynasty. Turning the real purpose of trade into vassalage on top of the friendship of the high, the whole thing is only known to him and Yao Guangxiao, and even Zheng He is only suspicious.

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was clearly decreed that no piece of wood should go to sea, and all maritime trade could only be done by the imperial court alone, and the abundance of oil and water allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to monopolize the entire maritime trade in his hands. But Zhu Di was not satisfied with this, when he was the king of Yan in Beiping, he had already tasted the sweetness of the huge profits brought by maritime trade.

Zheng He's fleet was also preparing one after another early in the morning, and after nearly ten years of thinking, when the results were finally announced today, Zhu Di was naturally very excited. With the precedent of Tang Ming developing ports to collect commercial taxes, Zhu Di had full confidence in the harvest of Zheng He's voyage, and the largest foreign trade in the history of the imperial court also began from him.

At dawn, the 3,000 Praetorian Guards in the imperial city were dispatched early, and the wharves of the Treasure Shipyard were all under martial law, and the people who came to watch or wait for the return of their relatives could only wait outside the wharf.

When the Tang Ming Dynasty was on the fifth watch, he entered the palace with Yao Guangxiao, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also gathered outside the imperial city.

There are more than 1,000 eunuchs and palace maids, holding the climbing flag, swaggering all the way through the city to the wharf of the treasure shipyard. The official road, which had already been built with a concrete road, allowed the whole team to march without the slightest pause. Yao Guangxiao was invited by Zhu Di to sit on top of the dragon climb, Tang Ming did not have such treatment, and he could only follow on a high-headed horse, moving forward under the scorching sun.

Zhu Di looked at the cement road under the climbing car, and said to Yao Guangxiao with a smile on his face: "This cement road is really good, the carriage almost doesn't feel bumps when walking on such a road, and there is no dust flying in the sky when walking before." ”

What is called a person who is in good spirits when he is happy at a happy event, Zhu Di will only pay attention to such details when it coincides with a happy event today. This cement road has been repaired for more than half a month, when did I see him come to see it on the spot, he is not for the queen's illness, he stinks every day, and he loses his temper at every turn.

Yao Guangxiao is very happy with Zhu Di's mentality at this moment, in recent days, because of the queen's affairs, Zhu Di has become more and more haggard. The fiery temper is even more frequent, and Yao Guangxiao is also worried about it. He only hopes that Sanbao's return this time can bring Zhu Di a good mood and dilute the haze of these days.

The team walked very fast, and it used to take about three hours to get from Nanjing to the Bao Shipyard, but now it can be reached in one hour. The time spent on the trip was shortened by two-thirds, which made Zhu Di overjoyed. For this, he praised Tang Ming well.

Verbal praise is useless to Tang Ming, in his opinion, it is better to have something practical, and directly throw one or two thousand silver. But this can only be thought about in my heart, with Zhu Di's door-picking character, a few words of verbal praise is a great grace.

The Praetorian Guards imposed martial law on the entire wharf early in the morning, and all the people who came here were kept outside.

The pavilion located on the edge of the pier is the goal of Zhu Di's trip, and in addition to Yao Guangxiao, who can follow Zhu Di into the pavilion, there are six Shangshu, the eldest prince and the second prince. And Tang Ming couldn't follow up, he was stained with Yao Guangxiao's light.

After each finding their own place and sitting down, Zhu Di looked at the vast sea in front of him, and whispered to Yao Guangxiao beside him: "Yao's family, what do you estimate the harvest of the Three Treasures will be this time?" ”

Although Zhu Di was full of confidence in Zheng He's voyage trade, when it was revealed, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, so he opened his voice to another insider, Yao Guangxiao, hoping to get what he thought from his mouth.

Yao Guangxiao understood Zhu Di's mood at the moment, smiled slightly and nodded: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, Sanbao's trip should be quite smooth, otherwise he won't come back early." ”

The trace of worry in Zhu Di's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his mood relaxed as soon as the worries disappeared, and he was already drinking the high-quality Longjing tea slowly. But Tang Ming clearly saw from the corner of his eye that he was looking at the vast sea from time to time, and the expression of such concern and the conversation between him and Yao Guangxiao just now, Tang Ming had to wonder if Zhu Di had another purpose for Zheng He's trip to sea this time.

After a pillar of incense passed, Zhu Di never saw Zheng He's fleet returning, and gradually his face began to be impatient, and the telescope in his hand frequently came to his eyes to look. Just when Zhu Di was about to endure the torment, he finally saw the sail of the treasure ship in his telescope.

Soon, everyone could see with the naked eye that the flotilla was slowly approaching the dock, and Tang Ming had already seen in the telescope that on the deck of the treasure ship at the front, Zheng He and several of his subordinates were also looking at the pavilion.

Although Zheng He in the telescope has been tanned a lot, he looks healthier. Especially the red official uniform he is wearing at the moment is even more eye-catching, and those who don't know his details must not know that he is a eunuch.

The fleet of nearly 1,000 ships, large and small, instantly filled the sea around the wharf, and Zhu Di's investment in the past ten years can be seen. The Ming Dynasty's maritime supremacy is not boastful, and the fleet of nearly 1,000 large and small ships is definitely the most powerful in the world at this time.

Zhu Di does have his proud capital, but unfortunately his vision is still limited to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but he abandons the vast territory on the sea. Let such a fleet cost countless money, technology, and materials, just for trade and friendship with neighbors.

Tang Ming felt sorry for Zhu Di, but it was precisely this that gave him room for development at sea, and he would do everything that Zhu Di didn't want or didn't want to do. (To be continued.) )
