Ordinary sycophants will not make Jiajing lose his temper, but Jiajing understands the implied meaning of Tang Yi's words.

If you want to catch up with Zhu Di, Jiajing asked himself, it is impossible for him to be tired, but in some aspects, overtaking in corners is possible, and sailing is the best point!

Although the seven voyages to the Western Ocean are feats, they can only reach the coast of Africa, and in terms of distance, they are far less shocking than the round-the-world voyage.

Jiajing did not hesitate to take Tang Yi's credit for himself, and he won Zhu Di by one point.

And Zhu Di went to the West, the most criticized thing is to waste money and waste the treasury, but after hearing Xu Huan and Xi Muyun's introduction, there are countless gold and silver overseas, if you can occupy a place, not only will the voyage not lose money, but also bring rich income to the imperial court, so, you will win another point!

Such a good thing, how can it not be hyped up, so that everyone in the world knows that Jiajing is more clever and powerful than Emperor Yongle!

What is a mere unicorn, as Tang Yi said, it is everywhere overseas, as long as the fleet is sent over, you can catch as many as you want......

The more Jiajing thought about it, the happier he became, it was indeed the most correct choice to let Tang Yi go south to open the sea, this kid not only brought him gold and silver, but also gave him the opportunity to help him become the son of the saint, fame and fortune are all there, what a great credit!

"Tang Yi, you did a good job, I want to reward you heavily!"

In public, he actually said this, Tang Yi was about to take another step higher, and the officials present all showed envious and jealous expressions.

But Tang Yi is high-spirited and unmoved.

"Your Majesty, what should really be rewarded are Xu Huan and Xi Muyun, two strong men, and they still have treasures to offer to Your Majesty!"

"And?" Jiajing thought that the dog-headed gold and the white long-necked deer were enough to see, and there were even good things, it seems that this overseas is really not a wild place, and it is worth visiting.

"Let them come."

Xu Huan and Xi Muyun re-arrived in front of Jiajing, and Xi Muyun said first: "Your Majesty, when I was staying in the Americas, I caught a giant python and wanted to bring it to Your Majesty, but I died halfway through, so I could only take out the internal organs, make a specimen, and present it to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a dead snake, Jiajing's interest decreased a lot, and he said excitedly: "Take it." ”

Soon there were footsteps, and more than a dozen little eunuchs came running in from outside with a wooden box and placed it in the center of the main hall before they were out of breath and retreated.

Seeing this box, Jiajing was stunned, it is three zhang long, equivalent to more than ten meters in later generations, what a big snake this is!

Huang Jin beckoned to the hands and unfolded the wooden box, revealing the true face of Lushan inside.

An even more terrifying inhalation sound sounded in the main hall, a ten-meter-long brown python, its body was covered with scales that shimmered with ghostly light, the thickest part was thicker than Zhu Xizhong's waist, and its huge head was enough to swallow a person. Although he is dead, it still makes people shudder and feel terrified.

Huang Jin was so frightened that he kept beating his chest, and said casually: "Emperor, a few days ago, Zhang Tianshi said that he was going to use the gall of the giant snake to make alchemy, and the slave maid looked, if this snake was alive, it would be a good alchemy material." ”

Jiajing's eyes lit up, he personally ran over, looked at it carefully, and said with regret: "Overseas reckless land, I don't know how many heavenly treasures there are, if I can be lucky enough to get it, the golden pill can be expected!" ”

Your Majesty, you are truly religious!

The ministers fell to the ground, Tang Yi couldn't cry or laugh, helping Jiajing to cultivate, and when he hung up, it was called the evil of Fengjun, which affected his reputation very much. But if Jiajing covets the good things overseas and supports going to sea, it is a powerful boost. For Tang Yi, this is the choice of lining and face. Tang Yi has always liked to be affordable, but he doesn't need to say much.

Xi Muyun was very cooperative, took out a wooden box from his arms, and held it above his head.

"Your Majesty, this is the gall of the giant serpent, dedicated to Your Majesty."

Jiajing was so excited that he actually took it himself, and couldn't wait to open it, a black ball the size of a fist, Jiajing held it in his hand, and his wrinkles opened with laughter.

"Okay, that's great." Jiajing turned his gaze to Xu Huan to see what good things he had.

Xu Huan said: "Your Majesty, here are the national letters of the seventy-three overseas countries, all of them are willing to surrender to Your Majesty, please accept them!" ”

It's gold, it's a treasure, it's a national letter, and all nations are coming to court, it's so cool!

Today in Jiajing's life, at least the happiest first ten days.

From the morning, when it was time to hold the lantern, Jiajing was still unsatisfied, and asked them to write down the detailed navigation process into a song and play it to the imperial court.

The news brought back from the circumnavigation of the world was subversive for the imperial court.

First of all, since the seven voyages to the West, many overseas feudal states have stopped paying tribute, and only the neighboring countries of Ryukyu, Korea, and Annam still maintain the tributary system.

Xu Huan traveled from Malacca to Africa, and there were countless countries and tribes along the way. Some countries are as large as Beijing, with a population of only one or two thousand.

But Xu Huan still didn't let go, two horses of silk can be exchanged for a national letter,

At the beginning, they didn't understand what a thin piece of paper could do, but when those officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple saw it, their eyes were full of tears, and they were so moved!

It seems that it has returned to the powerful Yongle Dynasty, where all countries and all nations compete to pay tribute, and the weather of the kingdom has finally been recovered. They carefully marked the countries that were only a dot on the map, wrote them down in small books, and prepared to publicize them.

Tang Yi had already proposed to Jiajing that the three dead giraffes should also be made into specimens and exhibited in the capital, so that all the soldiers and civilians could see it, feel the power of the imperial court, and announce that the Ming fleet had regained its majesty!

Dead things can still be used as waste, and Jiajing naturally readily agreed. When the three tall "unicorns" appeared on the streets of Jingshi, everywhere they went, there were countless people, cheering and exclaiming, and the young man leaned his neck, and he was reluctant to let go of the pain that was almost broken.

What a wonderful creature, what a heart-warming overseas world!

It would be nice to be able to get out there and have a look!

Tang Yi was also worried that the hype about the ocean would attract a backlash, but in fact, there were far fewer people who opposed it than he thought. After all, after opening the sea for so many years, there are constantly foreign businessmen, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are also eager to know the overseas situation.

Compared with the foreign monk running the train with his mouth full, the observation of his own people is more reliable.

Tang Shunzhi, Tang Yi, Xu Wei, Wang Shizhen, the four of them made the preface together, and Xi Muyun's HNA days were officially published, and the first edition was printed in 5,000 copies.

Who knew that as soon as it was listed, it was sold out, and many dignitaries bought hundreds of copies at one time, don't get me wrong, they are not scalpers, but for their own student clansmen, one book per person.

The boss in charge of printing had to rush to work overnight, and another 15,000 copies were printed, which were still sold out in only ten days.

In the streets and alleys, there are scholars and students holding their nautical diaries and watching them hungrily.

The book is bizarre, and it is even better than the Book of Mountains and Seas.

There are extremely lazy natives in the South Seas, where men chat and fart all day long, and farm work falls to women; In the western heaven where Tang monks learned scriptures, Buddhism has died out, and the local people have forgotten the equal compassion of all beings, they prick the skin with needles, roast them with firewood, and make strange movements to seek the mercy of the gods, and they can be born to the superior family in the next life; Further west, the land of the Middle East, the rise of the powerful Ottoman Empire, in terms of the breadth of the territory, is not much worse than the Ming Dynasty, it is they blocked the former Silk Road, forced Xiyi to explore new routes, by mistake, discovered the production of gold and silver in the Americas......

History, customs, plants and animals are all unheard of.

The scholars could not have imagined that the history of the Wild Land was so wonderful, and almost everyone who read the notes had the urge to "the world is so big, I want to see it".

The direct consequence is that it has set off a decades-long seafaring craze, and generations of seafarers have gone forward and succeeded each other until they have traveled all over the world and found every inch of unknown land.

As an encouragement, Jiajing was very generous to the two sailing heroes, and directly appointed Xu Huan as the commander, Zheng Sanpin, and caught up with Tang Yi in terms of grade.

It's just that the place he manages is strange, it's called Huozhou!

According to Xu Huan's description, the African continent is hot and hot, like a furnace, Jiajing feels that Africa is always like a place of right and wrong, why should the Ming Dynasty change it to Huozhou according to the naming rules of Xiyi, but Huozhou is too big, if you have the ability, you can play an empire that is even broader than the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied with his new students, and happily accepted the position of Huozhou's commander.

It's just that Xi Muyun is a little troublesome, after Jiajing asked, he learned that this kid was born in a family, and he had been admitted to martial arts before, and later abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and was admitted to Xiucai, which can be called both civil and military, and he also intended to participate in the imperial examination, Jiajing had to add a Zhongshun doctor who was a four-grade person.

The two people who got the official position immediately became the hot upstart in the capital, and within one day, they received more than 20 invitations, and they couldn't take care of so many families even if they were split, so they had to find Lord Tang with a bitter face.

After Tang Yi saw it, he threw it aside, "You don't have to go anywhere." ”

"Great!" Xi Muyun hated socializing the most and clapped his hands happily.

Obviously, he didn't understand Tang Yi's temper, so he only heard him say: "I have already made arrangements, and you will go to Guozijian tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xu donated a prisoner back then, he scratched his head, "My lord, you won't let us study, right?" ”

"Of course not." Tang Yi smiled narrowly, "It's for you to teach readers!" ”

"Ahh The two of them almost dropped their jaws.

"Master Gao Gonggao takes a fancy to you, and asks you to go to the Guozijian to give lectures to the prisoners and open their eyes." Tang Yi encouraged: "No matter how many people ask for a good opportunity, if you want to do a great maritime career, you must have someone to support you, just the official is not enough, how many fans you can attract depends on your performance." ”

Although they didn't understand what a "fan" was, the two of them also understood their mission, and when they thought that they had even gone to Yuxi Palace, what else was there to be afraid of, they all patted their chests and agreed. (To be continued.) )
