South Africa has gold, good spices in Europe, and as soon as the news came out, the whole Ming Dynasty was boiling.

One group of ships followed Tan Yuan and Ma Sanbao to Europe by sea, and when they passed through South Africa, they would stop in South Africa to pan for gold, while the other group passed through India, where horses and camels were loaded with spices, escorted by the Ming Marines, all the way west.

Daming's projects are going very well, Zhu Gaoxian rarely goes to class now, talents have been cultivated, and he has more knowledge than the teachers of several universities.

In the palace, in the Wenlou on the east side of the Fengtian Palace, there are all the drawings and documents that Zhu Gaoxian tried to draw with his heart, from aircraft carriers, large aircraft, nuclear bombs, to large textile machines, televisions, rice cookers, and even differential machines and computers of later generations.

This is the real wealth of Daming, industrial technology has developed to the current point of Daming, Zhu Gaoxian stopped pulling seedlings to help grow, he plans to give Daming some time to do the precipitation of knowledge.

And he himself also hopes to measure the world with his footsteps, so as to pass through this experience in vain.

"It's okay if you want to go out for a walk, but you can't take the finchman with you." Zhu Di vetoed his son's request, he was really angry this time, "Although my son is yours, he is also my grandson, I can't count on you, and I will count on the bird slave in the future." Besides, such a young child, you said you were going to take him out to see the world, what kind of world? This Daming is big enough, not enough for him to see the world? The king of a country, just learn to govern the country in peace, okay, in the future, I will take care of the affairs of the bird slave, and you don't have to worry about it. “

Zhu Gaoxian didn't expect that he would be so disgusted? He was kicked out of the hall by his father for the first time, stood under the eaves of the porch, looked at the sun still rising in the east in the sky, and asked Huang Yan, "Huang Banban, what did this king do wrong?" ”

Huang Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Fourth Highness, since the emperor heard that you were going to go far away, the emperor has never slept peacefully. ”

He went out from Zhu Gaoxian and persuaded, "Your Highness, the emperor is also old, when you went to Mingwei Island, the emperor was worried about it for more than a year, and now the emperor's age can't stand such worry." “

Zhu Gaoxian's heart was a little sad, but he quickly thought about it, and patted Huang Yan's shoulder, "Huang Companion, you are wrong, if I stay in the palace, my father will be the shopkeeper." People, you are not afraid of being tired, you are afraid of not being tired, you are afraid of being idle. ”

He looked at the sky, "Now, Daming River Qinghaiyan, Guotai and Min'an, if you want to sort out the government and how to deploy defense, I definitely have no experience, these things will be handled by the emperor." It just so happens that I'll go out and see, in the future, what kind of road will Daming take, which is more appropriate? ”

In fact, he wanted to go out and see what resources he didn't know about being able to find for Daming, or, those surrounding countries, and establish some relationships to bring benefits to Daming.

Driving out, there should be no road to walk, as long as you get out of the Ming Dynasty, the horse is the best means of transportation, Zhu Gaoxian plans to use this way to go outside to see.

The first is to choose people, Zhu Di originally wanted Zhang Fu to follow, but Zhu Gaoxian didn't agree, Sai Hazhi is the most suitable person, Zhu Di thought of Sai Hazhi's ancestral hometown, nodded, and agreed.

In this regard, Zhu Di was still not at ease, he personally came to the army, hand-picked more than 100 people with rich combat experience and very high force value, formed a caravan, escorted Zhu Gaoxian, followed behind the wave of people in front, and marched westward.

Zhu Gaoxian's team set out from Beijing, passed through Taiyuan, Xi'an, Xiningwei, and went to Shaanxi to command the envoys, passed through Hamiwei, and arrived in Turpan.

Turpan was called Yili Jiangli in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the official name should be called the Eastern Chahatai Khanate. The khanate was ruled by the Timurid family of the Bald Illumin, descendants of Chahatai Khan.

Historically, the Khanate began in the seventh year of Zhizheng with the establishment of Timur the Bald and was finally occupied by the Mongol nobleman Galdan 300 years later.

Historically, three hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty no longer exists.

Zhu Gaoxian's team walked on the ancient silk road, and the speed was not very fast. In the past few years, these people have become accustomed to the speed of the wind, and now, they walk slowly at the foot of the Qilian Mountain, facing the direction of the west, overlooking the Tianshan Mountains.

"I don't know much about Turpan, but I know Grape Valley." Zhu Gaoxian rode a horse for a long time, came down for a walk, holding a stick in his hand, and pointed to the road he came from, "In the future, a galloping road and asphalt road will be built here, all the way to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains." ”

Saihazhi smiled and complimented, "The scenery here is beautiful, and in the future, the car from the capital will drive all the way to the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, which can stimulate the economic development here." “

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Okay, Lao Sai, you also start to understand the economy, I thought you only knew how to arrest people!" ”

In a word, everyone laughed.

Saihazhi scratched his head, quite embarrassed, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, now from the dignitaries and nobles, down to the ordinary people, who has no way out." Even if it doesn't have for the time being, it's not easy to find a way out? Everyone is busy day and night, and who wouldn't want to earn more money when they have time? ”

The implication is that Zhu Gaoxian understands, who is doing any conspiracy and tricks, and does not delay making money?

It can be seen that only when people are idle, will there be trouble. In the past, the way for dignitaries and nobles to make money was nothing more than the income from the field, and in order to get two more pieces of land, they fought like black corns, and they poured each other down, and there were naturally more things.

Or, it's just idle, get a few who say it's like-minded, but in fact it's a friend of wine and meat, prostitute together, drink, drink and drink, get on the head, dare to say anything, say too much, be brainwashed, dare to do anything.

Zhang Fu walked beside Zhu Gaoxian, knowing that Zhu Gaoxian was very tolerant, and said with a smile, "Those who go to India to sell spices, those who go to Mingwei Island to find mineral veins, those who go to Yamato Island to survey the terrain and buy land to build houses, and there are also those who go to sea to find business opportunities everywhere, there are really too many people who go out." If the Ming Dynasty hadn't used mechanization to a large extent in farming, the land would really not be finished. ”

"There's no end to it?" Saihazhi took over the conversation, "My subordinates heard that many wealthy businessmen from the surrounding small countries rent land in Daming, and there are also many wealthy businessmen in Daming who go to India to farm land and grow food crops and spices. ”

Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but be vigilant, "Then this grain must be guaranteed!" ”

"Your Royal Highness is wise, let Zhang Ben and them make hybrid rice, and now the yield per mu has doubled, and this year's harvest is thirty percent more than last year. Lord Xia and the others changed the granary, and sold more grain to those war-torn countries. Those countries are grateful to Dade, you know, usually you can't buy food with money. Saiha Zhi said.

The soldier who led the camel behind him also participated in the discussion, "My family is, write a letter to me, saying that the production in the field has increased this year, and the court did not say that it would pay more taxes, so it bought a few taels of silver." The babies don't spend money to study, and my father said that when I plough in the spring next year, I can buy some fertilizer and fertilizer into the field, and I can increase the yield. I heard that I was going out with His Highness, and told me that I had to protect His Highness. ”

Zhu Gaoxian laughed, "Don't be nervous, if there is danger, we will run, and if we can't run, we will fight." ”

The horses and camels behind him were full of guns and ammunition, and he had a map in his hand, so Zhu Gaoxian was not worried about his safety at all.

At present, it can be said that the whole earth, including Europe, wants to take his life from his people, unless God helps.

From Turpan to Uzi, out of Uzi, you will reach the border of the Golden Horde.

"Your Highness, look!" Zhang Fu stopped and pointed to the mountain not far away.

A big stone blocked the figure of Zhu Gaoxian and the others, and the team that was walking in a roundabout way had not yet completely climbed this hill, and the people walking in front stopped under Zhang Fu's reminder.

The armored Mongols held the hilt of their swords in their left hands, and in front of them knelt alien people who were dressed in tatters and looked like walking corpses.

Not far away, dozens of horsemen stood on the hill, led by a man dressed in a sumptuous sable fur, wearing a sable fur trimmed felt hat on his head, with a broad face and a high forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He suddenly looked over to this side, and as soon as he raised his hand, the entourage behind him rode their horses and galloped over.

Now that he had been discovered, Zhu Gaoxian simply stood out from behind the big stone, and behind him, Zhang Fu and Sai Hazhi were like a great enemy, guarding Zhu Gaoxian's side, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the other party.

"Don't come here, or you'll be killed!" Saihazhi is a linguistic genius who speaks words that the other party can understand.

The man in the sable fur trimmed felt hat led the people over, he looked deeply at Zhu Gaoxian, and asked, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”

Sai Hazhi looked at Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian nodded, and Sai Hazhi pointed to the camel team behind him and said, "We are from Daming and are businessmen!" ”

"Ming merchants?" The man hurriedly got off the horse, took two steps forward, and asked his people to put away the knives and guns aimed at Zhu Gaoxian and the others, and said, "I heard that Daming's firearms are very powerful, is that so?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "If you don't mind, we can demonstrate it." ”

"Please!" The man stepped back, letting out the swordsmen they were about to kill, and motioned for Zhu Gaoxian's men to shoot at them.

Saihazhi knows Zhu Gaoxian's temperament very well, although he is a prince, he has a different respect for human life, so he is naturally very hesitant.

"Don't worry, they are all treasonous people!" The man saluted Zhu Gaoxian, "I am Pier Maheima, a member of the Balu Purse family, the lord of Samarkand, and this is my territory. ”

He pointed to the men, "They live in my territory, and they are so unconscionable that they are devoted to Shaharu. If I don't kill them, more people will rebel against me in the future! ”

"Shaharu?" Zhu Gaoxian didn't know him, Zhang Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Shaharunai is the fourth son of Timur Khan, this person is the eldest grandson of Timur, before Timur died, he made a decree and appointed him as the Great Khan of the Timurid Empire. “
