The construction of the new Jinling has begun in an orderly manner.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, who followed the East China Sea Fleet to the New World, had rich experience in building cities, and with the help of the cement factories that had been built in an urgent way, the construction of the city was no longer complicated, but simpler.

The people of Indian who had joined him were now more and more submissive.

Huge warships are docked in deep waters.

One glance at it makes it seem like these ships can destroy the strongest castle in the world.

These heavenly people are as powerful as the gods.

Luckily, these heavenly people were merciful enough that they not only provided enough food for the tribe, but it was even more delicious.

They even began to build a huge city on this side of the bay that had never been seen before, and built houses for them that would completely shelter them from the wind and rain.

They also brought down from the ship something extraordinarily soft, which the people from heaven called cotton, and began to teach the women of the tribe how to use what was called a spinning machine, a loom, to turn this cotton into soft and warm clothes.

They also brought cotton seeds and began to grow them on the land where food could not be grown.

The people of Yin Di'an began to imagine that one day they would be able to live a life without food and clothing, just like those people in the kingdom of heaven.

On the Great Plains, thousands of miles away in the east, the Ming army also began to launch a larger offensive against those tribes who did not want to belong to the Ming Dynasty.

People are productivity.

These tribal people who do not want to belong will become the subordinates of those Yindians who have already joined the Ming Dynasty, and will become the lowest-ranking group in the new Jinling.

The advanced production technology has completely crushed the original American continent, and the effect is obvious.

"The development of the New World will take a long time, and it will not be achieved overnight.

Before the arrival of the Hou Ye, we had already explored a place thousands of miles away to the east, and the land here was very fertile, not inferior to the Jiaozhi Road and other places that the imperial court had been promoting.

However, this place is vast and sparsely populated, whether it is to transport the cultivated grain back to the Central Plains, or to migrate the people from the Central Plains to the people, it will feed countless people.

Not to mention, the various gold, silver, copper, and iron deposits that we have already discovered here, as well as the kind of black oil that Taisun mentioned a long time ago. ”

To the west of the new Jinling City, on the walled city that has been converted into a watchtower for coastal defense, Zhu Yunwen looked at the sea in front of him, several warships that had set anchor and sailed westward, and said in a calm tone.

By his side, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of the Warriors, was dressed in the regular uniform of a military general, with a war knife pinned to his waist.

Zhu Shou said with a smile: "The governor has gone through hardships and dangers, traveled thousands of miles, and opened up the route of the New World for the imperial court, which will leave a name in history." ”

"The so-called name in history is just a false name behind him, just talking to future generations." Zhu Yunwen was very calm now, looking at the ships that were gradually moving away on the sea, and asked curiously, "How long will it take to return to Yingtian?" ”

Zhu Shou thought for a while and said, "It's about half a year, and no matter how fast it is, it's not much faster." When the ironclad steamship comes out later, maybe it will be faster. ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "It's going to take so long...... It's a really long road. ”

He had never seen what this sea route was like, and they had all followed the legendary route to find the frozen strait before they came all the way to the New World.

Zhu Shou said: "In fact, the main reason is that they are not familiar with the sea routes, and the fleet can only sail where they can see the coast, so it takes a lot of time. If you can find and record the sea route from Songjiang Prefecture to New Jinling, it will only take three or four months to get there. ”

"The morning is coming, and I don't know if the people in the future will be able to do this." Zhu Yunwen began to think a little.

In his opinion, such a thing is very likely to happen.

After all, people didn't know that there would be a new continent on the other side of the sea, which has always existed in legends.

And now, they have indeed found the New World.

Zhu Shou said with emotion: "The morning is coming...... That's probably going to be many, many years. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and shook his head.

He stood on the watchtower and turned around to look at the new Jinling City under construction.

"When I left the Central Plains before, I heard about some things."

Zhu Shou turned around and asked with a sideways look, "What did the governor hear?" ”

The imperial court has mixed opinions about this man at the moment.

Many officials believe that the royal family is too tolerant of it, and although the New World is far away from the Central Plains at this time, it should not be granted high and heavy powers.

The courtiers' fears were justified.

Once the New World is developed, people and soldiers will come over in the future, and this will be a country independent of the Central Plains. If this person has any other thoughts, the imperial court will completely lose the New World.

Even, as long as this person has the heart, concentrating on training in the New World, and stationing troops and food, maybe one day thousands of soldiers and horses will suddenly appear under Yingtian City.

But some officials feel that the royal family can be so lenient and benevolent, which can be said to be a model for the royal family of all dynasties. No matter what the choice is made in the future, the royal family will always be morally invincible.

As for saying that the New World will counterattack the Central Plains, for these officials, I am afraid that this is a fantasy.

Whether the New World can develop, and how far it will develop, depends on the support of the imperial court.

As long as the imperial court issued an order, the development of the New World was stopped, and the officials and soldiers here were withdrawn. On the premise that these people's families are still in the Central Plains, not many people will be willing to risk exterminating the clan to fight for any future with this one.

Between these positions, Zhu Shou chose to obey the emperor's will, or the edicts of the crown prince and grandson.

At least from the current point of view, Zhu Shou can't see what kind of dissentness there will be in front of him.

Even if there were, the tens of thousands of naval officers and sailors he brought with him could control and strangle all the risks in the distant land of the New World without the imperial court knowing.

Even if one day in the future, the imperial court will send another military general to replace him.

Zhu Shoudu believed that as long as he was a person under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it would be impossible for him to make waves in the New World.

How could Zhu Yunwen know that after such a short period of effort, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Zhu, had already thought about it so much.

He smiled and said: "I heard at the time that Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, led someone to develop something called a train, which runs on two rails, although the speed is not much faster than that of a galloping horse, but it is better than carrying more goods.

I don't know if the imperial court has come over this time?

After all, on the New World, as long as you cross the mountains on the west coast, after passing over, there will be endless plains, which are very suitable for building railways.

At that time, all kinds of resources along the line can be transported here faster, and then loaded onto the ship to send back to the sky. ”

Zhu Shou frowned and thought for a while before he explained: "It takes a lot of manpower to do it, and it takes countless money and food." ”

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "This is all easy to do, you don't need much money and food, as long as you keep reclaiming the land here and making it self-sufficient in food." As long as we lead a large army to launch a continuous offensive on the eastern plains, and capture all those natives, there will be no shortage of manpower to build the railway. ”

Zhu Shou was stunned for a moment.

In his mind, how could the operation Zhu Yunwen say be so familiar.

Zhu Yunwen had already continued: "The railway must be built, otherwise the New World is so vast, and the cost of ruling our dynasty will be far more expensive than building a railway." I even want to build this railway to the other side of the continent and see what will happen over there. ”

Zhu Shou became groaning at this time.

After a long time, Zhu Shoufang spoke again: "Then at least we will not be able to know what is on the other side of this land until we have thoroughly identified this land." ”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

He turned around and looked at Zhu Shou with fixed eyes.

This made Zhu Shou a little uncomfortable, and his neck turned stiffly.

Zhu Yunwen said: "I don't know if the Marquis has ever heard a saying. ”

Zhu Shou bowed slightly: "Please also ask the governor to give advice." ”

"I don't dare to say it, it's just a statement." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand casually, then raised his arms and hugged a circle on his chest, he said with a smile: "This statement, that is, the land under our feet is actually a huge ball, so big that we can't see the arc of this ball with our eyes."

But as long as we keep going in one direction, we can already get back to the starting point. So I thought, since we crossed the sea east, we could find the New World. So if we continue to walk east along this land, will we go to Europa, and then go back to the Central Plains against the original route of the former Yuan? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Shou's eyes widened, and he was shocked by such a statement.

He never thought that the ground under his feet was actually a ball.

If it really is a ball, isn't the person on the other side going to fall?

Shouldn't there be a flat world in the world?

In this plain, there are mountains and rivers because of the different heights, so the water in the rivers will flow to the lower places.

Obviously, Zhu Shou could not accept such a statement.

But Zhu Yunwen just smiled, his eyes had already turned to the sea in the distance.

When Zhu Shou was still digesting such a statement and thinking about what kind of words he was going to use to refute it.

saw that Zhu Yunwen had already raised his finger to the sea.

"So...... And how does the Marquis explain that at this time, the fleet we see can now only see the sails and not the hulls? ”

Zhu Shou's face was in a trance, his body turned stiffly, and his eyes looked at the sea.

In the extreme distance of the sea, the fleet that had returned to the Central Plains with some of the new species found in the early stage of the new Jinling was only left with a huge sail on the sea.

And the hull of the ship is all gone!

Zhu Shou's pupils contracted violently a few times, his mouth opened slightly, and he exhaled a rapid air flow from his throat.

Zhu Yunwen smiled: "Could it be that these ships sank into the sea?" ”

"Impossible!"

Zhu Shou spoke hurriedly.

Even if a ship that has just left is leaking and sinking to the bottom of the sea, it is impossible for all ships to be sinking.

The founding marquis who was killed from the sea of corpses and blood at the beginning of the country, his body began to tremble slightly.

Being able to sit in this seat shows that Zhu Shou's brain is normal.

He quickly envisioned a sphere in his mind.

As he stood at this point, the fleet was moving away on the sphere.

Then there will be such a situation as it is now.

The hull of the ship disappeared from view, and then the sails 'descended' little by little to the bottom of the sea.

！

And in Zhu Shou's eyes, the distant fleet, the sails on the other side, as he imagined, were slowly but visibly sinking to the surface of the sea.

Boom.

Zhu Shou couldn't digest such a fact anymore, and suddenly fell to the ground.

His mind was racing, but he couldn't figure out why it was like this, and those of them who were standing on the ball weren't going to 'fall'.

Zhu Yunwen still had a smile on his face.

When the fleet sailed from the sea to New Jinling that day, he discovered this fact.

Combined with what he heard at the beginning, what Brother Xi said to those uncles and nephews in the main hall. So Zhu Yunwen was convinced that the world was a ball.

It's just that I still can't figure out why people and things on the other side of the ball don't 'fall'.

This is a question worth pondering.

But it can also be devastating.

The Marquis is on the verge of collapse.

Thereupon.

Zhu Yunwen bent over and stretched out his arms.

Syllable.

The slap slapped heavily on Zhu Shou's face.

Zhu Yunwen shouted in a deep voice: "Marquis of the Ship! Wake up! ”

Zhu Shou's face ached, and Zhu Yunwen's roar echoed in his ears, and his eyes, which were gradually confused, gradually regained a trace of clarity.

Zhu Yunwen immediately said: "Don't think about this, let's build a new Jinling City!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhu Shou finally moved his lips slowly: "Yes!" Right! I'm going to build a new Jinling City...... Founding ...... ...... the founding of the city"

After half a ring.

Zhu Shou finally raised his head to look at Zhu Yunwen, whose face was tense, and a grateful smile appeared on his face.

Wait until this time.

Zhu Yunwen said the plan in his heart.

"So, that's what I think."

Zhu Shou already understood at this time that Zhu Yunwen had saved his life just now.

Otherwise, if you keep getting caught up in that fatal problem, I'm afraid you'll be an idiot for the rest of your life.

Zhu Shou stood up and clasped his hands into fists: "Please also ask the superintendent to advise." ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "I hope that the Hou Ye can send a fleet of ships to continue south along the coast, and if there is a place leading to the east, go over and see if you can reach Europa from here." ”

Zhu Shou also understood at this time, and said: "As long as you can reach Europa from here to the east, it proves that the governor's statement is not wrong!" If you can find Europa, you will be able to return to Daming from the east of this land! ”

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "That's it." Therefore, I also hope that Hou Ye can send a team of brothers to the east all the way to the east to see if the east side of this new continent is the sea. ”

There is no need for Zhu Yunwen to remind him, Zhu Shou has already understood a lot at this time.

He then said: "If there is a sea, it means that the world is surrounded by oceans!" ”

Zhu Yunwen laughed.

"That's right!"
