When they saw people, they asked about Chu Yi's whereabouts, which almost became the instinctive reaction of Jiao Yuan and others, in their opinion, the importance of expanding the territory thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty was not as important as finding Chu Yi.

Don't blame these people, after all, this place is too far away from Daming, not less than thousands of miles away, even if such a place is occupied, can it be said that Daming can still merge it into its own territory, this is obviously unrealistic.

thought that he would be reduced to a prisoner, Yu Dayou saw that they would humiliate them, but he never thought that the other party would take out a portrait when he opened his mouth, and asked them if they had seen the person above the portrait.

All of a sudden, a pair of eyes, including Grand Duke Doros, fell on the portrait, as if to keep the person in the portrait firmly in mind.

Taking a deep breath, Doros shook his head slowly.

The other people also shook their heads, they had never seen Chu Yi at all, so naturally they couldn't provide any clues.

Seeing the reaction of Doros and the others, Jiao Yuan and the others were not disappointed, they had experienced too many disappointments, and they had even not reported too much expectation in their hearts, so Doros and the others had nothing to be disappointed if they had not seen Chu Yi.

As if it was a routine matter, he asked Doros and the others if they had seen Chu Yi, and Jiao Yuan waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to escort Doros and the others down.

Doros and the others are also powerful figures in several countries, you must know that even if they fight each other, if anyone is defeated and captured, with their status, even if they become prisoners of war, they will be treated preferentially.

I thought that these people valued them when they saw them, but after they were brought in, the others didn't even ask, but just took out a painting for them to identify, and then ordered someone to take them down.

Doros and the others, who looked sluggish, didn't react until they were taken out of the hall.

Jiao Yuan, Yu Dayou and others are just one of several fleets, in addition to them, there are also several Ming fleets attacking cities overseas to search for Chu Yi's whereabouts.

Jiao Yuan, Yu Dayou and others went all the way to the west and entered the Atlantic, while the other fleets were some to the east, some to the north, and some to the south.

Thousands of warships radiate the world with the Ming Dynasty as the center, with the solid foundation laid by Chu Yi, coupled with the promotion of the Son of Heaven, even if Zhu Houzhao is crazy about building ships just to find Chu Yi's whereabouts, even if those fleets that are sent out are still mainly looking for Chu Yi, but it is normal to destroy some countries and plunder some wealth by the way.

After all, these generals who were sent out year after year couldn't find Chu Yi's whereabouts, and it was impossible to say that they were not worried about the punishment of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, these generals can only plunder the place, and then transport the gold and silver wealth of the big ships back to the capital, hoping that the Son of Heaven will open the net and not punish them because they are not doing things well.

As the so-called intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, Zhu Houzhao himself is just looking for Chu Yi, so he has created the world's strongest Daming Navy fleet.

As a result, Chu Yi didn't find it, but the footsteps of the Ming fleet traveled all over the world, the Ming fleet walked in front, and behind it were groups of maritime merchants.

These maritime merchants are not fools, there is a Ming fleet in front to help them open the way, they only need to follow the fleet to obtain a lot of wealth, so where the Ming fleet passed, the Ming merchant ships continued to arrive.

In the eighteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, the entire land of the South Seas has fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of islands of all sizes, and the land of the South Seas has entered the sight of many important ministers of the court, and then the big ships carrying thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty have arrived on these big islands.

Even after several major turmoil, land annexation was inhibited to a certain extent, but more than 100 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the scene of every family having land in the past has long been gone, and I don't know how many people have already lost the foundation of their existence and become the slaves and tenants of those powerful and gentry.

In a good year, these tenant families can barely make ends meet, but once a natural disaster breaks out, it is conceivable that the life of these tenants will definitely be difficult, and even if it is more serious, it may cause civil unrest.

It's just that the imperial court can't confiscate the land that fell into the hands of the gentry and magnates for no reason, and then distribute it to the people who lost the land.

However, as several fleets of the Ming Dynasty crisscrossed overseas, one by one overseas barbarian states were destroyed, and huge territories were occupied.

Almost every month, news came back, and one by one the big ships brought back a shipload of gold and silver, and in a few years, almost every year, the gold and silver flowing into Daming from overseas reached as much as 40 or 50 million taels.

Thanks to the outbreak of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, industry and commerce were encouraged, and the Ming economy exploded, otherwise, the massive amount of gold and silver that flowed into the Ming Dynasty every year alone may cause the Ming Dynasty's small peasant economic market to collapse.

You must know that once inflation appears, the harm is very great, fortunately the Ming is really rich, coupled with the extreme lack of gold and silver currency, this time a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the Ming, not only did not cause any harm to the Ming, but promoted the prosperity and development of the Ming economy.

It was in this situation that the imperial court finally moved the idea of occupying Nanyang, after all, it was a huge territory, if it could be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention anything else, at least as a group of important ministers who contributed to this grand occasion will definitely go down in history, and he will be admired by future generations.

Moving to the land of the South Seas, one person granted 100 acres of fertile land, 50 taels of silver, and as soon as the notice came out, it can be said that the world was shaken.

In just one month, as many as 500,000 people who had lost their land mustered up the courage to pass the screening of the imperial court and board the big ship bound for the South Seas.

Since then, one after another 500,000 people have walked out of the Ming Dynasty and walked towards the land of the South Seas, and if it continues at this speed, it will take less than ten years for the huge South Seas to be completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

With a bang, I saw that in the imperial study, a teacup was thrown on the ground, and when it was broken to pieces, an angry voice came out: "Waste, all waste, I want the whereabouts of Otomo, not a boatload of gold and silver!" ”

In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao looked annoyed, in front of him, several pieces of music were scattered on the ground, needless to say, these pieces should be from the hands of Yu Dayou and other commanders of several overseas fleets.

Several chamberlains on the ground were trembling and lying there, obviously shocked by Zhu Houzhao's increasingly heavy imperial majesty.

Wang Zheng and Shao Yuanjie stood aside respectively, and saw Wang Zheng waving his hand at the attendants, signaling a few people to leave, and then stepped forward to pick up the music, put it on the table and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Zhu Houzhao patted the table and said: "How can I calm my anger, how long has it been, it has been several years, what do they want, what do I provide them, but what about them, I haven't even found a trace of my companion, I have to punish them for their crimes this time......"

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao is angry, and with his temperament, he will not be angry with others, but it can also be seen that Zhu Houzhao's endurance is wearing off little by little.

If Chu Yi is no longer found, no one dares to guarantee what kind of changes Zhu Houzhao will have.

In the palace, there is such a simple Taoist temple, the Taoist temple is not big, and it is not even comparable to any palace in the palace.

And such a quaint Taoist temple is the place where Shao Yuanjie, the most relied on real person by the Son of Heaven, settled in the palace.

Although it is said that there is a Taoist temple of Shao Yuanjie outside the palace, but in this palace, the Son of Heaven also built a Taoist temple for Shao Yuanjie so that Shao Yuanjie can practice in the palace.

Shao Yuanjie returned to the Taoist temple, first worshiped the Taoist Sanqing statue on the shrine, and then stepped forward and gently moved the Sanqing statue enshrined there, and suddenly a dark box appeared.

In that dark box, a token could not be clearer, it was the token that Chu Yi left him at the beginning.

To be honest, although Shao Yuanjie said that he was aware of Chu Yi's birth, Shao Yuanjie never thought that Chu Yi was really so resolute, and he left when he said to leave, giving up the dignity above ten thousand people under that person, and it would be several years long as he disappeared.

Shao Yuanjie was cultivating in addition to secretly guessing where Chu Yi had gone, and why the Son of Heaven had searched so much and did not find a single clue.

To say that Chu Yi soared, Shao Yuanjie actually didn't believe it in his heart.

Taoist Ascension said that others don't know, at least Shao Yuanjie is very clear in his heart. Taoism does have sages who have ascended, but it is not this era, in their era, affected by the general environment, being able to stand at the peak of the innate peak is already the peak, and it is impossible to go further.

Shao Yuanjie admitted that Chu Yi's cultivation was indeed very strong, but to say that Chu Yi's cultivation could soar, Shao Yuanjie didn't believe it at first.

Rubbing the token, Shao Yuanjie was a little curious about where Chu Yi had gone.

When Chu Yi handed over the token to him, he said that he would find an opportunity to hand over the token to the Son of Heaven, but Shao Yuanjie was not in a hurry to hand over the token to the Son of Heaven, but this time, Shao Yuanjie could feel that Zhu Houzhao's patience seemed to be getting less and less, and he realized that it was time to hand over the token to Zhu Houzhao.

The Son of Heaven's Bedroom

Zhu Houzhao was meditating on his knees and practicing the Taoist health exercises, at this moment a sound of footsteps came, and the person who came stood outside the room, and when Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes, he just saw Shao Yuanjie, who had white eyebrows and beards, and a fairy wind and bones, as if he had attained the Tao.
