After all, the information between the north and the south is inconvenient, and the matter of Su Die'er conferring the head, and Hami in the northwest for Zhu Di and Suzhou Wei to recover has not been able to enter Beijing so quickly. The most enthusiastic thing that the people of Yingtianfu talked about this winter was not the war, but the three giant ships that claimed to be returning from the far west to present gifts to the emperor.

"Did you hear that? This time, the fleet did not go to the west, but to the legendary treasure land 'Fuso'. It is said that this land of Fusang is a treasure of Huatianbao, but it is not inferior to the treasure land of our Chinese Kyushu! This time, the fleet returned home, and I don't know how much gold, silver, and jewelry it brought back......"

"Hey, listen to people brag, isn't Fusang the broken ground of the Wa Kingdom? What kind of treasure can that place where birds don't poop? Those Japanese people...... Oh, now it's called Yingzhou? It's not that we haven't seen those Yingzhou people, and a few days ago, there were many people on the boat at the wharf who came to be tenants for us and farm for us. ”

"All of them are skinny, like dwarfs, and they don't even have clothes to wear, so they wear a stinking crotch cloth......"

"Who told you that Fusang is the Wa Kingdom? It's all nonsense! That's all misinformation about mediocre people who don't learn and don't know how to do it! The country of Fusang comes from the Book of Liang and the Book of Mountains and Seas, and it is said in the Book of Liang that the country of Fusang is 'more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Kingdom'. How far is the Wa Kingdom? A few years ago, the pirates were able to cross the boat back and forth in a small broken boat...... You leper has a strong head, you go and try to row more than 20,000 miles? Fusang is much more easterly than the Wa Kingdom, tsk, there is no culture......"

"I'm uneducated? How many words does Old Xu Tou know more than me? Behold, you must have made it up! ”

"How am I making it up? It's all written in "Yingtian Daily"! I've just heard the report, and it's exactly what it says......

In the teahouse next to the wharf, Zhu Su listened quietly to the conversation of the tea guests in the corner. Since there is a newspaper channel, the public opinion of Ying Tianfu can now be said to be firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

Through the propaganda of the newspapers, the imminent return of the fleet of the expedition to the Americas has long been hyped up in Beijing, and everyone knows that the land of "Fusang" is no less than a treasure land in China, and there is a huge profit to be made by traveling to Fuso.

I don't know how many people are looking forward to seeing how rich this so-called Far East is.

"Your Highness, the fleet is returning for the first time, and it can really bring back enough goods?" Sitting opposite Zhu Su, Yang Shiqi, who was also dressed in cloth, looked a little restless. He is now successful in scientific research, has successfully entered the court as a court official, and is now working under the "Maritime Affairs Department". The so-called "Maritime Affairs Department" is the old Zhu Qiangang's arbitrary, a newly established Yamen Affairs Department, which is in charge of the future colonization of the Ming fleet.

But after all, the affairs of the Americas have not yet been settled, and this maritime department is still just an empty shelf. Because colonizing overseas is also one of the ideas put forward by Xinxue, the officials of this "Maritime Affairs Department" are basically extremely young new students. These scholars are full of passion and want to do a great career in the court, but they are assigned to such a place where they have no real power for the time being, and it is just an empty shelf of the newly established yamen, but in fact, there are still many people in the court who do not agree with the development of maritime affairs in the court, thinking that it is a move to work the people and lose money, so the subordinate officials of this maritime department are also ridiculed on weekdays.

Now that I finally got the news that the expeditionary fleet is coming back, how can the officers of the Maritime Affairs Department not be impatient? In case the Fifth Highness was really wrong this time, the so-called "Americas" were actually poor and white, and the fleet went on the expedition for more than a year and brought nothing back......

After all, the world is a richer place than China, and Yang Shiqi admires Zhu Su very much, and it is difficult to believe it in his heart.

However, if the fleet fails to bring back enough benefits and fails to touch the Ming Dynasty to promote maritime affairs, then maritime colonization will inevitably be opposed by hundreds of officials and even the people of Qianshou, and they, the officials of the maritime department, can only nest for a lifetime in the future.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi was very worried about whether there was any goods on board.

"Don't worry, don't be impatient...... Fusang in the Americas is full of treasures, and although it is only a quick exploration, this king still believes that Tie Xuan can bring back enough rich benefits. Zhu Su said. He took a sip of tea, looking quite old. Exploring the Americas is one of the fundamental national policies that Lao Zhu has in mind, and the current Ming Dynasty is completely under the control of Lao Zhu, even if the people of Shilin are all unwilling, Lao Zhu will still push this matter forward. After all, only by obtaining the divine seed can we fight against the terrible Xiaoice River Period and completely eliminate the calamities that may come in the future of Daming from the root.

For the sake of the gods, Lao Zhu will never care about the gains and losses at this time.

Zhu Su's work on the New World is also inevitable, no one can better understand how rich the New World is, the New World not only has new crops, the gold rush in the last life in the Americas lasted vigorously for more than 20 years, it is enough to get a glimpse of how terrible the gold reserves of that place are...... And take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Tie Xuan fails to find enough gold in the New World to incite people's hearts, Zhu Su has a way.

Isn't it gold, after several years of mining in Yingzhou, now the gold in Lao Zhu's private treasury has long been stacked...... When the time comes, it's a big deal to steal some from his warehouse, pretending to be in the New World, and I'm not afraid that the hearts of the people above and below the Ming Dynasty will not be restless.

He Zhu Su is not a simple moral gentleman.

"Huh? It's coming, it's coming, it's really coming! Wow, what a big ship! ”

"Ahh I remember that this ship was the same big ship that was built at the Longjiang Shipyard before. Before this ship went to sea, I thought it was going to trade with the Westerners, but I didn't want to go to find the land of Fuso...... Ooh! Look at this ship, it's so mottled! I don't know how many storms and waves I have suffered! ”

"I drove 20,000 miles to the east, can it not be mottled? Even if the sea is soaking, it is time to soak this wood...... Ooh! Are the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty on board? It's so majestic! ”

"Let Jean, let Jean, King Zhou's guard of honor came to greet the heroes of my Ming Expedition......"

Seeing that a fleet of ships was entering the port in the distance, Zhu Su saw the tall treasure ship at a glance, and the dragon flag representing the Ming Dynasty fluttering on the treasure ship. He straightened up and walked to the front of the dock with Yang Shiqi, and the surrounding soldiers and honor guards who were resting also came together, picking up gongs, drums, etc.

When heroes return to China, they should be hyped up and create a sensation. Let them all be immortal one by one, so that future generations can be inspired to follow the example of their ancestors in the future.

On the ship, Tie Xuan, who is a good student of Zhu Su, obviously thinks the same way, on the mast, the sun and moon hanging sky flags and dragon flags flutter, and what is more conspicuous than them is the Ming soldiers on the deck. These soldiers all wore the mandarin duck robes of Sao Bao one by one, obviously they were sailors who often had to soak in the water, but at this time they were all wearing armor that was shiny enough to blind the eyes of others. At the front of the deck, Jang Hyuk and Tie Hyun were wearing a helmet and an official uniform, both standing on the ramming horn of the bow of the ship. The scarlet cloak and the parrot green clothes flew together, and the two seemed to be about to chop the waves, and a majestic demeanor swept in their faces, which shocked the surrounding Li people one by one.

“…… These guys know that they have to sing a good show at this time. Zhu Su smiled slightly. What can't be hidden in his eyes is admiration for these pioneers.
