As soon as these words came out, the lords of the other countries were so shocked that they were about to jump.

Western Continent, what is that?

"The Western Continent is thousands of miles away from the Eastern Continent. The lord of the city is right, they do drive steamboats and hold firearms, although these are not as good as my Ming equipment, but compared to the Ming ten years ago, I don't know how many eras. ”

Zhu Di sighed, "The times are changing, and I am overwhelmed. I also didn't expect that the people of the Western Continent would be able to cross half of the Atlantic, bypass the Cape of Good Hope, cross the Indian Ocean, and land on the land of Australia from the Sea of Arafura. ”

The lords found that none of the place names mentioned by the Ming Emperor had ever heard of them, and they thought that the earth was slightly larger than their country to the Ming Dynasty, which was already a very big country, and the world on the sea was much bigger than they imagined.

Everyone was stunned, and if it weren't for this fair, their country might have suffered a tragedy like Australia's, and they didn't even know who the enemy was, where he came from, or where he was going.

When he dies, he doesn't even know who his enemies are.

At this time, although everyone is unwilling to give up their own land, they also have to admire Sheyang's decisiveness and measurement, and it is really admirable to be able to make such a big sacrifice for the country!

The role that Sheyang should play should have been the Three Buddhas Qi Liang Daoming, and the purpose of his coming to Daming was to surrender to sincerity.

He is a Ming man, he only temporarily became the king of the Three Buddhas because of the power of the Ming people, and it is impossible for the Ming royal family to allow a Ming man to be the king in a place where he can see it.

He hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the people of the Three Buddhas, the ministers ask the Ming to merge the Three Buddhas into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are eager to become the subjects of His Majesty the Great Emperor and be loyal to His Majesty the Great Emperor for the rest of their lives." ”

As soon as Liang Daoming spoke, the lord of the Bo Ni Kingdom, the East King of Java and the Lord of Manraka, who had witnessed how powerful the Ming navy was, also followed suit, and they all hoped to become a part of the Ming Dynasty.

"My hand can't stretch that long, I will discuss your country's requirements with my courtiers, you can make your requests more specific, while your lords are here, I will order someone to accept your demands, and try to make you come with pleasure and return satisfied."

The lord of Zhenla, the lord of Siam and the envoys of Yili looked at each other, they thought it was just an audience after the exposition, and they thought that His Majesty the Great Emperor would wave his hand and reward them who came to have fun.

The three kings of the Three Mountains Country are also very contradictory, no one wants to be someone else's vassal, they are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as the master, and it is also for the sake of interests.

However, after seeing the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the willingness of the surrounding countries to give up their sovereignty to worship the Ming Dynasty, they were not sure in their hearts.

The Korean lord Li Fangyuan took a deep look at Li He, if this son can marry a woman of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is not a princess, he is willing to pass the throne to this son, otherwise, he has to consider other sons.

Next, it was the turn of the governors of various countries to meet with the lords of the country, and Zhu Di personally introduced the governors of his country to these countries in the southwest, "The reason why I sent the governors to your country is to help you lords better rule the country, and second, I have a lot of friendly trade projects to manage in your country, and the governor will never interfere in the internal affairs of your country, please rest assured." ”

Naturally, no one dares to say "no", and for Da Ming, as long as he has a foothold in that land, everything else is easy to say.

The porcelain, tea and brocade of the Ming Dynasty are nothing, the Ming Dynasty will use high technology to change the lives of the people in those countries, and the Ming Dynasty will attract a large number of people to their own countries, work with machines in their countries, and obtain huge profits from the land.

Mother Earth will always be rich and abundant.

After meeting, Zhu Di gave each of the lords a bicycle, which has made the lords very happy, who doesn't know, Daming's bicycle is 100,000 taels of silver.

This is just the selling price, and with the addition of tariffs, the price can be as high as 150,000 taels of silver.

His Majesty the Great Emperor is really generous!

The nervousness and fear in the main hall were swept away, and some of the lords of the country who did not understand the language actually started talking, and it didn't matter if the chickens talked with the ducks.

Zhu Di left Xu Huizu behind, "I heard that you have been preparing well at home recently, what are you going to do after you go to Lanna?" ”

Xu Huizu thought for a while and said, "The minister has some ideas, say it, if the emperor thinks it's wrong, please ask the emperor to teach you." ”

After a polite sentence, he said, "I heard that now Chiang Mai Xuanfu and Qing Lai Xuanfu are not compatible, the minister thinks, can do some articles on this basis, if the two sides can provoke a fight, once there is a situation where the people are not happy, the minister will ask the Ming army to suppress, and then compassionate the people, the minister thinks that in the future Lanna can be included in my Ming territory." “

What a cleverness! Zhu Gaoxian said in his heart that his eldest uncle was really a talent, back then, if Zhu Yunwen could trust his uncle a little more, instead of using Li Jinglong's idiot, perhaps, Jianwen Dynasty could hold on for a day or two.

And without the history he traversed, his father might not have been able to break through the layers of defense and win the Battle of Jingjing.

Zhu Di is also very satisfied, he has always known that his eldest brother is very capable, but since the two have torn their faces, he is not willing to bow down, in case this eldest brother does not give him face, he will not be able to step down, and he will definitely not spare his life.

The honor of the emperor has always been forged with blood.

But now, the Ming Dynasty has expanded too fast, and they are all soldiers who surrender without a fight, and it is impossible to suppress them with blood in management, and the requirements for employing people are much higher.

In his son's words, the cost of the soldiers pressing the border is too high, and it is not cost-effective for Daming, and Daming wants to take a different path of plunder.

"Before Lanna really became a state capital of Daming, Daming had only three purposes in Lanna, one was to grow rubber, the second was ore resources, and the third was wealth." Zhu Di said, "Of course, the Ming Dynasty tried not to provoke the people, and even we had to stand aside with the people, provide them with protection, and provide them with the opportunity to work and get food." ”

This is the first time Xu Huizu has discussed national policy and political affairs with Zhu Di, and he has to admit that compared to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di is extremely spicy.

He doesn't know how to describe Zhu Yunwen, he can only say that he is an authentic nerd, to use a popular word to describe him, that is, a silly and sweet, ungrounded king.

And Zhu Di seems to be doing everything for the people, but there is a hidden Tao in it, and defending the people is actually maintaining the ruling regime.

Nowadays, the support for the emperor has reached an unprecedented height, and the love for the emperor has become a kind of faith.

"Command!"

Xu Huizu didn't understand why he was nervous, on the way out of the palace, he couldn't help but think about where his nervousness came from, compared to the nervousness in front of Zhu Di, he could be said to be confident in front of Zhu Yunwen.

After thinking about it, Xu Huizu understood a truth, he was afraid that the emperor would not be satisfied with his performance.

Xu Huizu couldn't help but smile bitterly, the emperor was overwhelmed by the changes in this world, why shouldn't he be, if he was left out in the cold for a few more years, basically, he would not be able to keep up with the situation of the times.

Times are changing so fast.

On the tenth day of the first month of the fifth winter month of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxian got married.

On the southeast coast of Daming, the port has increased to twenty-one, and the ships come and go endlessly, and the cement transported from Daming to various countries in the southwest has been sent to various countries in the southwest, and the wood, ore, coal and other materials transported from the southwest countries have replaced the spices, ivory and precious stones of the past.

The Ming Dynasty imposed high tariffs on non-natural resources such as spices, precious stones, and ivory, which were generally only done by merchants from countries such as Dashi.

The calm and calm waters of the southeastern seas, the extinction of pirates, attracted many merchants from the Middle East, who were simply shocked by the country's wealth.

After Zhu Gaoxian's wedding, the first batch of supplies delivered from Australia arrived at the port, and Zhu Di led the military generals and princes to the port to greet him.

It was Agarwood Bao who came back, and Zhu Gaoxian invited him to be the director of the Ministry of Works, and he is now also an official person, and he is more and more loyal to Zhu Gaoxian.

Zhu Gaoxian accompanied Zhu Di on the boat to see the supplies, and the boat was full of gold ore.

In the private room of the restaurant at the customs, Agarwood Bao knelt in front of Zhu Di's father and son, looking very nervous, he couldn't speak at first, Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "What are you nervous about, you came back across the ocean, there is no merit and hard work, talk well, what are you trembling?" ”

Agarwood kept her nose sour, and tears flowed down, "Only the Fourth Highness does not dislike such a person as his subordinates." ”

He wiped his face and took a deep breath, "After His Highness came back, his subordinates took our people and the people from the Ministry of Industry from the Raleigh Sandbank, bypassing the northwest corner, almost bypassing a large area of Australia's coastline, before arriving at the place that His Highness said. Fortunately, with the detailed map given by His Highness, his subordinates were able to find the gold mine quickly. “

Zhu Di's mind was still circling the shipload of gold ore, he had never seen so much gold ore, with different shades of color, which could flash a blind person's eyes.

"How did you dig up the mine so quickly?" Zhu Gaoxian wanted to know how these people worked on the island after he left?

Agarwood Bao smiled embarrassedly, "It's all used by His Highness's methods, and with the help of Kim and them." They preached to us in the bazaar, and many tribes knew about us, and when we got there, there were natives who took the initiative to come to us, and there was great strength in numbers, and it was much easier for us than at first. ”

Agarwood Bao said reverently, "These are the merits of His Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "It's good that you can go smoothly, and the policy of friendship with the locals must be implemented little by little." Again, pick out some gifts, and if anyone is going over, help me bring some gifts for Kim. ”
