Just as Jiajing was looking at the music in his hand with interest, Yan Song on the side saw this situation and then added.

"Your Majesty, these thirteen treasure ships have all been equipped with the new cannons developed by the Ordnance Division, and each treasure ship is equipped with twenty-five cannons, and its power and range have been greatly improved compared to before!"

"In addition, the structure of the hull has also been optimized, and the sailing speed has also been greatly improved while the overall weight remains the same.

When Jiajing heard this, although he already had a rough guess in his heart, he still put on a look of interest and immediately asked.

"Oh, what disease?"

Yan Song saw that the emperor was interested in this matter, and immediately responded without thinking.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was accidentally discovered in a classic book in the study at home, and people who have been sailing at sea for a long time will suffer from a disease of bleeding gums, fatigue, and finally torture to death, this disease is incurable!"

"But the strange thing is that after a certain period of time on shore, this disease will be cured of itself."

When Jiajing heard this, it suddenly became clear in his heart that the disease described by Yan Song was scurvy.

Immediately, I saw Yan Song turn his gaze to Jiajing and raise his doubts.

"Although Wechen had consulted the Tai Doctor of Tai Hospital before this, and searched through all kinds of medical classics, he still did not find a cure for this disease, and Wechen was afraid that ...... time would come."

When Jiajing heard this, he took in the expression on Yan Song's face, and turned to answer Yan Song's doubts.

"Let me tell you, the reason why people who have been on the sea for a long time suffer from this disease is because of the lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, and fresh vegetables and fruits happen to contain a substance that can prevent people from suffering from this disease!"

"As for what you said earlier, you only need to go ashore to live for a period of time and this disease will be cured automatically, because the sick person eats vegetables and fruits in the process, I say that, do you understand?"

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, Yan Song also suddenly realized, and immediately said excitedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for solving Wechen's doubts, Wechen understands that as long as you ensure the supply of fresh vegetables and fruits, you can avoid this disease to the greatest extent!"

But soon, Yan Song seemed to think of something, and soon made another difficulty.

"But Your Majesty, fresh vegetables and fruits are extremely difficult to preserve at sea, and they will soon all rot, and if all the vegetables and fruits on the ship are rotten, and they cannot be replenished for a while, will they not repeat the mistakes of the past?"

Seeing Yan Song's sad face, Jiajing couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then explained.

"Ruyi food contains a substance that can prevent people from suffering from this disease, although the amount is small, but it is better than nothing."

"What's more, before this, I had already asked Gu Yan, who was in charge of commanding the fleet, to prepare the Ruyi dish in advance, so long time has passed, presumably he should have been fully prepared."

After listening to Jiajing's explanation, the big stone in Yan Song's heart fell to the ground instantly, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately complimented.

"It turns out that Your Majesty has been prepared for this for a long time, and it seems that Weichen is abrupt!"

Jiajing was noncommittal to Yan Song's words, and continued instead.

"By the way, since the treasure ship has been transformed, let's find a suitable time and officially set off!"

"I'm going to go to the docks myself and see them off!"

"By the way, the people of the capital can also come to the pier to watch."

After Jiajing finished speaking, he added a sentence immediately.

Hearing Jiajing's words, Yan Song subconsciously wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but when he heard the irrefutable tone contained in Jiajing's words, he immediately dispelled this idea in his heart.

"If you speak out to dissuade now, maybe it will make Your Majesty unhappy, who doesn't know that Your Majesty is the most enthusiastic about sailing, I still don't want to touch this mold!"

Yan Song admonished himself like this, the expression on his face became more and more respectful, and he immediately cautiously confirmed to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, how long do you plan to let the fleet go?"

"Three days later."

Seeing Yan Song asking him about the specific date of the fleet's departure, Jiajing responded without thinking.

"Will you leave in three days?"

After Yan Song got the exact departure date of the fleet from Jiajing, he immediately fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Jiajing suddenly had an impatient look on his face, and immediately issued an order to expel the guest.

"Alright, it's none of your business, you can leave."

When Yan Song heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to bow to Jiajing.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen retires!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he didn't stop at all, and then turned around and left tremblingly.

Lu Fang, who was standing beside Jiajing, was also quite excited at the moment, and immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, the current treasure ship has been renovated, and it will set off soon!"

"If we can really find them, Your Majesty, the two crops you mentioned earlier, my people will no longer have to go hungry!"

When Jiajing heard this, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang and responded confidently.

"Don't worry, you'll find it!"

……

When Yan Song returned to the cabinet, he quickly informed everyone of the news he had gotten.

"What, the fleet will depart in three days, and the people of the capital can go to watch, and His Majesty will be present in person at that time?"

"No, no, no, this is too dangerous, if the people of the capital also go to watch, there are many people, if something happens, what should we do?"

After listening to Yan Song's narration, Xu Jie subconsciously retorted.

After Xu Jie, Gao Gong on the side also frowned tightly, and echoed his words.

"Yes, Elder Yan Ge, when there are many people on the scene, the situation will be difficult to control!"

"Didn't you persuade Your Majesty to take back your order?"

When Yan Song heard this, he looked up and down with cloudy eyes before he asked unhurriedly.

"Is Your Majesty a person who listens to persuasion?"

When Yan Song's words fell, the entire cabinet suddenly fell silent, and a bitter smile appeared on Xu Jie's face.

"Yes, from the reduction of the clan's expenses, to His Majesty's strong abolition of the maritime ban policy and the establishment of the Maritime Trade Division, His Majesty has never listened to anyone's admonition in this process!"

Thinking of this, Xu Jie sighed helplessly, and then gave his own advice.

"Now that this matter is a foregone conclusion, then we should start from somewhere else!"

"In this way, when the time comes, let Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion be responsible for maintaining order at the scene, not only that, but the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division must also be on standby at any time in case of emergencies, and ...... in addition"

……

Soon, three days later, the news that the round-the-world fleet was about to officially depart, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, attracting hundreds of people to scramble for discussion.

In front of a tea stall on the outskirts of Beijing, several guests were discussing the news they had just received.

"Did you hear, in three days, a fleet will depart from the dock in the capital, and His Majesty will personally go to the dock to see off this fleet!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago, and then we can go to the scene to see the excitement, I've lived for most of my life, and I haven't seen what the emperor looks like!"

"Ah, what is the origin of this fleet, even His Majesty has to come to the scene to see it off?"

"I have a relative who is on an errand in the palace and says, what kind of ring is going to be carried out by this fleet...... Circumnavigating the world! ”

"What does circumnavigation mean, why can't I understand a word?"

"It's stupid, circumnavigating the world is ......"
