When Lao Zhu heard Ma He's words, he was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into his mouth, and his face was full of disbelief and suspicion.

He knows the second fool of the old Zhu family too well, that guy may be stupid, but it can't be stupid to this extent.

Can Zhu Rong's rebel son open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, or is it on an unknown continent?

I don't believe it if I killed Lao Zhu!

Zhu Yunxi's heart moved, he glanced at Ma He meaningfully, and then quietly took a few steps back.

Sure enough, just after Zhu Yunxi took a few steps back, Old Zhu glanced at him angrily.

"This is the good apprentice you taught!"

"Grandpa Huang's anger is relieved!"

"Maybe the second uncle repented, and really wanted to make some contribution to our Daming?"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Him?"

"Huh!"

"Ma He, tell us the truth, is it Zhu Rong's rebel son who died at sea!"

"We can hold on, we will never be sad for that rebel!"

Ma He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his guilt for the imperial grandson and His Majesty the emperor weakened a little.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin really didn't have an accident, but he insisted on staying in the Golden State to develop, and the slave and maid couldn't do it, so they could only return with people first......"

"But the slave maid left a temporary camp over there, and left two thousand people to station, I think it will be fine to come to His Royal Highness King Qin."

"Oh?"

When Lao Zhu saw Ma He say this, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

Could it be that Zhu Fan has really changed sex?

"Old five, tell us about your second brother, ...... the end?"

Zhu Hu glanced at Ma He with a strange expression, and after experiencing some inner struggle, he nodded towards Lao Zhu.

"Back to my father, the second brother did not have an accident, but he did not take the initiative to stay in the Golden State to expand his territory as Ma He said."

"The second brother fell in love with the daughter of a local Tibetan leader and stayed there as a son-in-law."

"This ......"

Lao Zhu's mouth once again competed for the boss, although Zhu Hu's answer was more ridiculous, but for some reason he felt more credible.

"Is the second child really staying in the Golden Continent?"

"Yes......"

"This rebel!"

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and scolded, and when he turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was chatting with Ma He, he scolded against Sun again, and then flicked his sleeves and led Zhu Hu away.

On the way, Lao Zhu asked Zhu Hu several times, and saw that Zhu Hu answered the same every time, so Lao Zhu accepted the fact that his second son stayed in Jinzhou as a son-in-law.

Zhu Hu didn't want to cooperate with Ma He and lie, but when he thought of what happened to him this year, he shuddered, what if he provoked that grandson and threw himself out?

When there were only Zhu Yunxi, Ma He and others on the boat, Ma He knelt down with a puff and pleaded guilty to Zhu Yunxi.

"The slave and maid plead guilty to His Royal Highness, the king of Qin did not voluntarily stay in the Golden Continent, it was the slave and maid who deliberately threw him over there......"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxi had long known that there was a cat here, and he was embarrassed to ask when Lao Zhu was present just now, but now when he saw Ma and himself, he immediately asked.

"Let's hear it, why are you targeting King Qin?"

Ma and Wen Yan staggered.

"Selfish...... There is also righteousness......"

"Let's talk about selfishness first!"

"Selfishness is the woman who robbed the slave of King Qin......"

"Women?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Ma He in surprise, not to mention, this guy really looks like a dog, but he just makes people.

"The daughter of the Tibetan leader was the first to take a fancy to you?"

"Yes......"

Zhu Yunxi received a positive answer, and he was quite helpless.

"Alas!"

"This matter is that Da Ming can't stand you, but Lone will compensate you in other ways."

Ma He kowtowed three times when he heard this.

"Da Ming didn't live with slaves and maids, and even treated slaves and maids very kindly......"

"If the slave maid didn't suffer that knife when she was a child, the slave and maid would definitely have no chance with His Highness in this life, and it would be impossible to build this immortal feat!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded appreciatively towards Ma He.

"If you can think like that, you can rest assured."

"Now speak of righteousness!"

Ma He said solemnly.

"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid thinks so, this round-the-world voyage costs a lot, but it does not have the great profit from business and sales."

"However, after a year of circumnavigating the world, the slave has deeply understood His Highness's statement that the future world belongs to the sea."

"The sea is so rich, as long as you master the sea, you will master the wealth of the world!"

"The slave was worried that His Majesty would listen to the words of the officials of the DPRK and China, and say something like the labor of the people and the loss of money in the voyage, so he stopped the voyage again. Therefore, the slave maid deliberately left the king of Qin behind to prepare for the future voyage......"

Zhu Yunxi immediately laughed when he heard this.

"You are really calculating, and the dignified Prince Ming has become your stepping stone!"

"Slaves are terrified!"

"Get up, you don't have to worry about this, as long as I am here for a day, this voyage will not stop!"

Ma He immediately smiled happily when he heard this, he still had a selfish motive that he didn't say, that is, people like him can only be useful if they sail with a fleet.

Because the imperial court would never worry that a eunuch would establish himself as a king overseas, based on this, his position as a sea governor was ironclad.

And for him, it is only at sea that he can make a contribution. Once Da Ming stopped exploring the ocean, the biggest thing he, a eunuch, could do in his life was to stay in the palace and wait for people.

Zhu Yunxi did not delve into Ma He's careful thoughts, but asked him to lead the way and check the harvest of this trip.

"Your Highness, please ...... here."

"This cabin is full of Golden Continent seeds, and the corn and sweet potatoes you have explained have also been brought back."

"Oh?"

"Hurry up and take Gu to have a look!"

Ma He led Zhu Yunxi to the bottom of the cabin and opened a bitter cloth, revealing a warehouse full of corn.

Zhu Yunxi looked at these unthreshed corn cobs, and his face was full of disappointment.

"That's too small, isn't it?"

"Where's the sweet potato?"

"Sweet potatoes are ...... over here"

Ma He lifted a bitter cloth again, revealing sweet potatoes that had grown with sprouts.

"How so!"

"Your Highness, the slave maid really didn't know that sweet potatoes would sprout, and the slave maid was carefully taken care of all the way, I really don't know why this is happening......"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand at him.

"It's fine!"

"The properties of this thing are like this, and they do not affect its cultivation."

"The sweet potatoes are growing okay, not as big as I expected, but they're better than corn."

Ma He saw that Zhu Yunxi didn't blame himself, so he immediately had the courage to ask.

"Your Highness, but you want to promote these two crops in Daming?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

"Hmm!"

"These two crops have high yields and do not pick the ground, which is very suitable for Daming."

Ma He echoed when he heard this.

"The corn is soft and glutinous, and the sweet potato is sweet, both of which are rare and delicious ......"

"If the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat this, it will be a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Blessing?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard this, it may still be a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty now, but for people hundreds of years later, these things are just feed to increase animal protein.

"It's really hard to say about this in the future, but at this stage, it can make the people of Daming no longer have to worry about hunger!"

"That's good......"

"By the way, Your Highness, what are you going to do with the Golden Continent?"

"The Golden Continent has a vast territory, if I don't occupy it, it will become the territory of other countries sooner or later!"

"The slave maid passed through Europe this time, and came into contact with the monarchs of some small European countries, and found that they generally had a strong interest in the great voyage, but due to economic and technical reasons, they could not organize a large fleet to go to sea."

"Oh?"

"Tell me more!"

Ma He told what he saw and heard on the road as it was, and in order to give the imperial grandson a sense of crisis, he also added fuel and vinegar to beautify the European monarchs, describing them as monarchs who made great achievements.

"The Golden Continent is definitely from the Ming Dynasty, but it may take some process before the Ming Dynasty can dominate there."

"What process?"

"For example, let the aborigines there be less, so that my people have more living space."

"This ......"

Ma He pondered for a long time when he heard the words.

"Your Highness, the slave maid has come into contact with the local natives in the Golden Continent this time, it is said that their ancestors migrated from a strait, and they may be of the same origin as us?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say that they have the same origin as us, but it's not easy to deny."

"They migrated from the Bering Strait more than 20,000 years ago, and at that time, we didn't even have Xia Shang Zhou here, even the three emperors and five emperors were not necessarily born."

"If you have to find a relative for them, the Mengyuan people in the north are closer to them, much closer than us."

"This ......"

Ma He felt a huge shock in his heart when he heard this, both shocked by Zhu Yunxi's profound knowledge and worried about the natives of the Golden Continent.

Although his time in the Golden Continent was not long, only a few months, he fell deeply in love with that land and the people who lived there.

If possible, he hoped that Daming would protect them from being killed.

But now looking at the meaning of the imperial grandson, it seems that he wants to use a knife against them?

"Your Highness, the fleet of slaves and maids has arrived in the Golden Continent and has received a lot of favors from the local natives, let's ......"

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard this.

"You don't have to worry, I, Da Ming, am a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and I will never do that kind of cruel thing to slaughter the natives."

"However, I will move some European criminals there in the future......"

"After they have done all the evil deeds, let's go and uphold justice for the natives of the Golden Continent!"

In Zhu Yunxi's vision, the European continent is given priority over the Americas.

After all, Europe is connected to Damingzhou, so it is more convenient to rule.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty is alone in the world, and it is not that it can't defeat those turtles in Europe, so why are they busy developing wild lands?

Even if they want to develop, they have to wait for others to develop and mature for them, and Daming will go over to pick peaches!

After inspecting the horses and the fleet, Zhu Yunxi immediately found a place in Daming to try to grow corn and sweet potatoes in preparation for the promotion of these two crops.

At the same time, Zhu Yunxi ordered the shipyard to overhaul the ships and design and build new large ships in preparation for the next round-the-world voyage.

For a long time to come, Zhu Yunxi's main job was to build two canals.

One is the Hongwu Grand Canal in Egypt, and the other is the Hongyun Grand Canal in the Golden Continent.

Only by building these two canals will the ships of the Ming Dynasty complete the circumnavigation of the world in the shortest possible time, and connect Europe, Africa, the Golden Continent and the Great Ming Continent.

However, at present, it is very difficult to build the canal in Golden Continent, because the population there is too small, and it is not easy to arrest local natives to build the canal.

First, people are too scattered to grasp, and second, it is easy to cause conflicts.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi could only focus on the land of Egypt and find a way to build the Hongwu Grand Canal first.

Embassy of the Ming Dynasty in Cairo, Egypt.

With the ticking of electricity, a telegram was delivered across a dozen transit stations.

After seeing this, Ambassador Zhang Zhiqian immediately took a carriage to the Cairo Palace and met with King Ashraf of the Mamluk dynasty.

Achraf had just succeeded to the throne, and on the one hand, the situation was unstable, and on the other hand, he needed to avenge his father Calavin, so he needed the help of Daming very much.

When he heard that the Ming envoy came to visit, he immediately walked out of the palace to welcome him.

"Oh!"

"My esteemed Zhiqian Zhang, I miss you so much, your arrival has made the floor and ceiling of my palace shine......"

"King Ashraf, it's called a fluffy glow, not a sparkle on the floor or a roof......"

"Oooh!"

"Look at my memory, I'm actually wrong again."

"But your Ming official dialect is really too difficult to learn, I have been learning from you for so long, and I even got an idiom wrong."

Zhang Zhiqian praised sincerely.

"I'm surprised that you can learn so quickly."

"I came here today for a big event, our Royal Highness the Emperor Daming is not satisfied with the speed of construction of the canal, and hopes that King Ashraf can capture more slaves and strong men."

Hearing this, Achraf's heart sank, and his face was no longer as radiant as before.

Since he took the line of Daming, he has successively put 300,000 people on the other side of the canal.

The country has already been made complaining by him, and if he levies strong men again, it is difficult to say that he will not be overthrown by his own people.

"Zhiqian Zhang!"

"Please think about it from my point of view, I am about to conquer Acre City now, and I really can't spare enough troops to help you capture people."

Zhang Zhiqian sneered when he heard this.

"What are you going to do against Acre?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Acre City is separated from your country by the Red Sea, right?"

"It's fine if you walk by land, but the supplies along the way will probably make you uncomfortable, right?"

"This ......"

Ashraf was entangled for a while when he heard this, Zhang Zhiqian was right, but a large part of the problems he said came from Daming.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty occupying the Red Sea and the Mediterranean coast, he would have fought to Jerusalem and avenged his father!

"I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any good ideas?"

Zhang Zhiqian smiled confidently.

"Of course there is a way!"

"If King Ashraf doesn't mind, our Ming warships can assist you in transporting troops and supplies."

"This ......"

Ashraf was very moved when he heard this, the Ming warships were too advanced, not only faster, but also huge.

If there is the assistance of the Ming fleet, he will get twice the result with half the effort in attacking Acre City.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, especially in Daming, and the price is ridiculously high.

"It's a good way, but how do I repay Daming?"

Zhang Zhiqian said surgingly when he heard this.

"Easy to do!"

"All the enemies captured this time are rushed to work on the canal!"

Ashraf was not surprised to hear Zhang Zhiqian's words, he was just puzzled, that is, Da Ming had such a powerful weapon, why didn't he arrest people himself?

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, you can capture slaves by yourself, why do you want to fake my hands?"

Zhang Zhiqian smiled when he heard this.

"You say this......"

"I can't hide it, I am a state of etiquette, and I never take the initiative to do things that hurt heaven and reason."
