However, Chu Yi would not tell Chen Du and the others what he thought at this time, but he just had a smile on his face, but Chu Yi did this to let Chen Du and Han Chao have the idea that their own overseer must be like this.

Sure enough, the power of role models is endless, especially the influence of Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, Chu Yi somewhat underestimated the importance that these eunuchs attach to the name behind them.

After all, throughout history, those who have been glorious through the ages are all civil and military generals, but there are few eunuchs in this group.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are none, but most of the names left behind are like Zhao Gao, Zhang Rang, Gao Lishi and even Wang Zhen.

Chen Du and Han Chao endured the excitement in their hearts and recalled their memories of the drawings and materials of Zheng He's treasure ship.

After all, the Son of Heaven personally sent his henchmen to the Ministry of War to ask for the drawings of the treasure ship, but he was directly scolded back by the Ministry of War, and later it was rumored that the drawings were burned by a fire.

Decades have passed, and most of the old people in the court have dispersed, after all, the replacement of the court is much faster than that of Ouchi.

Maybe there are few ministers among the courtiers who still remember the events of the past, but as palace servants, Han Chao and Chen Du have not forgotten it.

Chu Yi is not in a hurry, he does not have the luxury of finding the drawings of the treasure ship immediately, even if there is no fire at the beginning, with the people of these civil servants in the court, in order to avoid the future emperors from regenerating the idea of opening the sea and building ships, they will definitely hide the drawings and materials of the treasure ship.

A bright light flashed in Han Chao's eyes and said, "Overseer, I thought of it, it seems that there is a record of the treasure ship in the Yongle Grand Canon. ”

When Chu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but get up suddenly, and said with a little surprise on his face: "And this matter?" ”

At this time, Chen Du also nodded and said: "If nothing else, there must be something in the Yongle Canon, even if there is no detailed record, at least there is general information." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but think of the Yongle Canon, which is known as China's largest encyclopedia, which was written in the Yongle period, when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times, such a big thing, Zheng He's fleet almost represented the top naval equipment of the Ming Dynasty at that time, to say that there is no record in the Yongle Canon, this is impossible.

In the library of the Imperial Palace, facing the row of dense bookshelves, tens of thousands of classics are neatly placed in different categories.

Han Chao stretched out his hand and pointed to a place and said, "Overseer, I found it!" ”

As he spoke, he took a book off the shelf, and Chu Yi glanced at it, it was the record of Zheng He's trip to the West.

Turning the book, the first thing is an introduction to Zheng He's voyage to the West, and then a scaled but accurately proportioned chart appears in Chu Yi's eyes.

Chu Yi could determine at a glance that this was the various countries that Zheng He had traveled to the West at the beginning, and the most important thing was the sea route marked in detail on this chart.

The sea is mysterious and full of dangers, and the most important thing for sailing at sea is the means of going to sea, that is, large ships, and the second is the sea route, that is, the safe navigation route on the sea.

These safe navigation routes can avoid countless dangers in the sea, and it can be said that countless navigators have explored them little by little with their lives, and they have been marked out by later generations and drawn into a map, that is, a navigation chart.

The sea ship and navigation chart can be said to be the biggest guarantee for Zheng He to be able to go to the Western Ocean smoothly seven times, although the sea ship has not been found, but this navigation chart has been found by Chu Yi.

When Chu Yi's eyes fell on the nautical chart, Han Chao and Chen Du on the side also saw the nautical chart, and they were able to take charge of the Imperial Palace.

Even if he is a foolish person, he has been in a place like Huang Shichen for decades, and he is afraid that he will be edified full of talent.

Therefore, Han Chao and Chen Du knew very well what the nautical chart meant.

After finding the nautical chart, Chu Yi naturally hoped to find the drawings and information about the treasure ship in this Yongle Canon.

However, this is indeed recorded, but it is only briefly mentioned, and it is simply unrealistic to rely on this record to build ships.

You must know that a treasure ship involves many aspects, and if the materials for its manufacture are piled up on the paper of the book, I am afraid that it can fill a room.

Carefully putting down the book, Chu Yi sighed lightly and said, "It is recorded that the drawings and materials about the manufacture of the treasure ship are stored in the military department. ”

I'm afraid that the Yongle Emperor never dreamed that his later courtiers would not allow the emperor to open the sea in order to restrict the emperor, and he was stunned to do something to burn the treasure ship materials.

Seeing that Chu Yi's expression was a little gloomy, Han Chao said in a low voice: "The overseer ......"

Chu Yi took a deep breath and said to Han Chao and Chen Du: "The two of you will copy this chart and the introduction of the treasure ship to me. Especially the nautical charts, make sure they are exactly the same! ”

The two responded.

Following Chu Yi's side, Wang Zheng said: "Overseer, are we going to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?" ”

Chu Yi glanced at Wang Zheng with a strange gaze and said, "Why do you want to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?" ”

Wang Zheng was puzzled: "Didn't the overseer want to find the blueprints of the treasure ship, and we could still ...... if we didn't go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?"

Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Go back to the East Factory first." ”

Although he was puzzled, Wang Zheng had always obeyed Chu Yi's orders, so he naturally followed Chu Yi back to Dongchang.

As soon as he returned to the East Factory, he saw a foreman eunuch come forward, but he was one of Wang Zheng's henchmen in the East Factory.

The foreman eunuch handed Wang Zheng a secret letter and whispered a few words, and Wang Zheng's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, Chu Yi was sitting on the Taishi chair, with a portrait of Yue Fei behind him, seeing Wang Zheng coming quickly, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Zheng presented the letter in his hand to Chu Yi and said, "Governor, this is a secret letter sent by the cabinet elder not long ago. ”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, he really made a wonderful move when he chose to subdue Jiao Fang, that is, Liu Jin never dreamed that Jiao Fang, who was regarded as his confidant, would be Chu Yi's person, it can be said that with Jiao Fang, every move of Liu Jin Group is under Chu Yi's control.

Sometimes Liu Jin has any small actions to deal with Chu Yi, and he doesn't even need Chu Yi to make a move, and Jiao Fang alone can easily settle it.

Not to mention anything else, just like Liu Jin's failure to recruit Chu Yi before, Jiao Fang reversed the form with just a few words, allowing Liu Jin to shift his attention to Gu Dayong again.

Although it is said that even if Liu Jin deals with Chu Yi, it is impossible to cause much trouble to Chu Yi for a while, but it is trouble after all, isn't it?

"Oh, it's night, Jiao Ge sent someone to send a secret letter, could it be that there is something important?"

While speaking, Chu Yi opened the secret letter, spread out the letter with a shake of his hand, and swept his gaze, and saw a glint flash in Chu Yi's eyes, and gradually a smile rippled on Chu Yi's face.

[Well, thank you for the reward, this alliance leader is a low-key person, he doesn't want to expose his real name, so he chose such a shameful name, well, I'm sure it's really low-key! ] What can I do, I'm desperate. 】
