Waiting for Ma Sanbao's time, Zhu Le was thinking about the current world pattern in his mind.

The thirty-first year of Hongwu, that is, in 1398 AD.

At this time, Europe was in the midst of the Renaissance, and the Hundred Years' War between England and France was still going on.

In a few decades, European capitalism will sprout and the Age of Discovery will begin.

There is not much time left for Daming.

Why did Jule build a new sailor?

In addition to the surprise attack role played by the sailors in the 'Battle of Jingjing', there is also the opportunity to seize the Age of Discovery.

If we do not pay attention to the development of the navy, the land of China in 400 years will be reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

At that time, foreigners will burn, kill, loot and do whatever they want in the land of China, as a descendant of China, how can they get their wish?

It's just that it's not easy to build a sailor now.

Because Zhu Di is poorer than Zhu Le imagined.

Therefore, it is imperative to get money first.

But it is not easy to make money at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the policy issues mentioned by Yao Guangxiao, there is also the issue of commodities.

As we all know, the most profitable project in ancient times was definitely salt and iron, but salt and iron were controlled by the imperial court, and even vassal kings could not interfere at will.

Moreover, selling salt and iron in the horse market, once someone is falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, it is a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

Therefore, Zhu Le first ruled out the salt and iron business.

Since you can't do salt and iron business, you can only sell other goods.

If you are in a densely populated city like Nanjing, you can make money by doing some soap and soap.

But the risk is too great.

In the less risky horse market, where ethnic minorities are the majority, others rarely take a bath once a year, and if you sell soap and soap, others will not be able to bird you.

Then, if you want to make money from ethnic minorities, you must first consider their characteristics.

What do ethnic minorities lack?

First of all, there must be a shortage of food, otherwise it is impossible to harass the Ming border every once in a while.

But food is not for sale!

Lao Zhu was poor and scared, and he attached great importance to food.

Even if Lao Zhu died, no one dared to pay attention to the grain.

Moreover, this is about to rebel, and grain is an important strategic material, how can it be resold?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Le finally came up with a trial sale product.

Medicine!

Yes, it's selling medicine!

In his last life, he was the vice president of a pharmaceutical company, and his wife was the general manager of a pharmaceutical company.

Before the rise of pharmaceutical companies, it was a small pharmaceutical factory specializing in the production of men's treasures.

Zhu Le knows the formula of the man's treasure very well, because his wife tells him everything.

Now that I have crossed over, the memories of the past are vivid, and the formula of the man's treasure is also reversed.

But why sell men's treasures in the horse market?

Because of a foreign trip in his previous life, a foreign friend who did not want to be named told him that the treasure of men abroad is the best sold, and the best man's treasure in the world is also made by them.

So, everyone who understands understands.

There are some things that may not be useful.

"Hahaha...."

Zhu Le laughed out loud for no reason, and Yao Guangxiao on the side was inexplicable.

"Lord Wang, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, it's just a funny thing that comes to mind!"

"What's funny?"

"Uh....."

Zhu Le was speechless, not knowing how to fool the past, and at this moment, Qiu Fu walked in with someone.

"Lord Wang, Ma Sanbao brings it."

Zhu Le restrained his smile, raised his eyes, and saw a young man who looked slightly different from the people of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of him.

"See the prince!" Ma Sanbao respectfully saluted Zhu Le.

Zhu Le bowed slightly, and then said, "How long have you been in Yanwang Mansion?" ”

"It's been thirteen years since I returned to the prince."

"Thirteen years....."

Zhu Le muttered with emotion, and couldn't help but recall Ma Sanbao's life trajectory.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, Fu Youde and Lan Yu marched into Yunnan, and Ma Sanbao, who was only ten years old at the time, was forced to be taken prisoner.

After that, he was ruthlessly castrated and entered the palace as a eunuch.

Later, he came to Beiping with Zhu Di and has been working hard.

In the end, in the Battle of Jingjing, he gave advice to Zhu Di, was reused by Zhu Di, gave the name Zheng He, and went to the West seven times to open a new chapter of navigation for the Ming Dynasty.

Ma Sanbao's life, if you describe it in four words, is definitely 'disabled and strong'.

Zhu Le will definitely not let go of such a talent.

So after a little muttering, he said to Ma Sanbao: "Sanbao, you have been by the side of this king for thirteen years, and you have been loyal, and this king now has an important task entrusted to you, are you willing to take over?" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Sanbao knelt on the ground with a puff and shouted loudly.

No matter what the task, he is willing to take it on.

For thirteen years, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

I don't want to prove how great I am, but I want to tell the world that eunuchs also have dreams, and eunuchs can also achieve some feats.

Now, he waited for it, so he agreed to Zhu Le without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhu Le smiled slightly, then glanced at Yao Guangxiao, raised his hand towards Ma Sanbao and said, "Get up, since you agreed, then the king will give you a new name, and you will no longer be Ma Sanbao in the future." ”

"This king gave you the surname Zheng, the name and the name, and you will be admitted to the Chengfeng Division and serve as the post of internal Chengfeng."

"Zheng He?"

Ma Sanbao repeated it a few times in his heart, and then kowtowed and saluted: "Zheng He knelt down to thank the prince for his name!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Le laughed loudly, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "King Qiyan, Your Majesty has sent someone to deliver the decree!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Le's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, it is possible that he is here to check his condition!" ”

When Zhu Le heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and he immediately ordered Qiu Fu: "Qiu Fu, go prepare the curtain, cook another pot of herbs, separate the main hall, and let the people in the backyard all wear towels!" ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Fu didn't dare to slack off, and rushed out.

At this time, Zhu Le looked at Zheng He again and said solemnly: "Zheng He, you go to delay the eunuch first, and this king will arrive later." ”

"Yes!"

Zheng He hurriedly got up and left the study in a hurry.

After all the arrangements were in place, Zhu Lecai was helped to the main hall sickly.

At this time, the eunuch was already impatient.

Suddenly seeing Zhu Le, Qiu Fu hurriedly shouted: "King Yan has arrived!" ”

The eunuch was suddenly startled, and immediately saluted respectfully: "The slave has seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"No need to be polite.... Cough.... Ahem.... Since you are ..... for Your Majesty Decree..... That's .... Ahem, ahem, ahem....."

Before Zhu Le could say a few words, he coughed heartbreakingly, how dare the eunuch dare to let him say more, he immediately took out the holy decree and read: "Your Majesty has a decree...."

"Minister.... Ahem....."

"King Yan doesn't need to salute, Your Majesty just let you stand and listen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty...."Zhu Le nodded angrily.

The eunuch also stopped talking nonsense, and continued to read: "Your Majesty has a decree, King Yan is the border of the country, the important weapon of the country, and the model of the vassal king. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Zhu Le listened to the decree and the eunuch finished reading the decree and hurriedly saluted.

But the eunuch did not hand over the decree to him, but turned his head to look at Yao Guangxiao on the side, and continued: "Your Majesty's dictation, the Queen Mother is dedicated to the Buddha, recruiting monks with profound Buddhism, praying for the blessing of the country, presiding over the Qingshou Temple, proficient in Buddhism, specially proclaimed to the Beijing Master, and the Queen Mother offered to participate in Buddhism!" ”

"What?!"

Zhu Le and Yao Guangxiao were shocked at the same time.
