Chapter 411: Plan Ahead

Chen Kan walked out of Zhao Wang's Mansion expressionlessly, and the anger in his heart was almost about to erupt.

Zhu Zhanji was given to Chen Kan by Queen Xu, and Zhu Zhanji was beaten by Zhu Zhanji and left in the Hou Mansion and never cared about it anymore.

Now that they were about to start fighting, they remembered that they still had a son to help.

It's ridiculous why you went earlier.

No wonder the emperors of the Zhu family have many crooked melons and cracked dates, and there is no one who inherits this gene.

Turning over and getting on the horse, he took a long breath, and after silently reciting a few words in his heart to disagree with the fool, the anger in Chen Kan's heart finally dissipated a little.

Walking on the way back to Fangfu, Chen Kan felt that it was better to leave Jingshi early.

Now it is only the early stage of Yongle, and the battle between the two has reached this point, if it is a few years later, it is normal to be afraid of picking up knives and cutting each other.

Originally, he still wanted to stay in Jingshi for a few more days to accompany the Zheng family, but he still hurried back to brainwash the two little guys and try to avoid them from being crooked.

What is he trying to do in this life, isn't it that the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the people can straighten their backs and live, and by the way, they will pass on the things they brought from the later generations to avoid the fate of the Han people from continuing to go dark?

Whoever dares to sabotage his plan is a sinner of the Han nation, and Chen Kan will definitely fight him to the end at all costs.

Even if this person is a prince, there are even people among them who are future emperors.

Thinking of this, Chen Kan decided to go to the Hou Mansion first.

When the horse came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and saw Chen Kan going and returning, a group of guards were a little surprised.

Chen Kan didn't explain too much, and after sending someone to call Yun Niang, he ordered Zhang Dong to prepare the ship.

This Jingshi, he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Dong go away, Chen Kan entered the study.

Half an hour later, Yun Niang also entered Chen Kan's study.

In the past few years, Yun Niang has leaned on the big tree of Houfu, which can be said to have operated the entire Hengfeng well.

The trade route that Grandpa Tai gave to the Hua family has been completely abandoned by Yun Niang.

Originally, the war on the grassland in the past few years was the time when a large amount of salt and iron was needed.

But Yun Niang is a courageous woman, after knowing that she can't compete with the Sun family, she decisively gave up the entire trade route, and instead relied on the Hou Mansion to catch the line of Zheng He, and she can be regarded as a prosperous person at sea.

Of course, all this is inseparable from Chen Kan's secret support, otherwise he would not be able to keep such a big family business as a woman.

"Master Hou, are you looking for a slave?"

Yun Niang saluted Chen Kanyingying, then lowered her head and did not look directly at Chen Kan.

Chen Kan came back to his senses, pointed to the stool on the side and smiled: "Here, sit!" ”

When Yu Niang heard this, she only put half of her ass on the stool.

Seeing this, Chen Kan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and said lightly: "Yun Niang doesn't have to be so restrained, Ben Hou came to you today, and he really has something to ask for." ”

Yun Niang's soft and glutinous voice sounded: "If Master Hou has any explanation, even if he tells him, he will talk about what to ask for or not." ”

Chen Kan pondered for a moment, pulled out a drawer, took out a piece of paper from it, handed it to Yun Niang, and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

Yun Niang took the paper from Chen Kan's hand with a curious look in her eyes.

After just one glance, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Master Hou, this thing, but a nautical chart?" ”

Chen Kan nodded: "Yes, you can call it a sea chart for this thing, and a world map is also fine." ”

That's right, what is drawn on the paper is a flat world map drawn by Chen Kan from memory.

In today's Ming Dynasty, people have been able to fully accept that they are living on a sphere, and the globe is even more handy.

But the globe is just an outline after all, and there is no such thing as ocean currents, monsoons, shipping lanes and anything like that.

Therefore, the function of the globe is more to tell the Ming people how big this world is.

And Chen Kan drew such a very detailed map of the world, not even Zhu Di did.

After reading the map carefully, Yun Niangzai asked, "What does Master Hou want the slave family to do?" ”

Chen Kan didn't answer immediately, but sat on the chair and pondered for a while, and then asked: "Ben Hou remembers that the Hengfeng used to buy and sell human beings?" ”

As soon as Chen Kan said this, Yun Niang's face couldn't help but show a look of panic: "Master Hou Mingjian, the matter of buying and selling human beings was done when my father-in-law was still alive, and the little woman has never done such a hurtful thing since she took over." ”

Seeing that Yun Niang's face changed greatly, Chen Kan hurriedly stopped: "I say this, not to blame you, but to ask you to help Benhou open a waterway and help me send some people to Australia!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Yun Niang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively: "Open up the waterway, does Master Hou want to do a population business?" ”

Chen Kan shook his head: "No, Ben Hou doesn't want to do anything hurtful, just take precautions." ”

"Plan ahead?"

Yun Niang nodded as if she had understood, and then didn't ask more.

The Hengfeng's fleet had been to sea several times, and she knew just how rich the overseas fortunes were.

Even if the caravan of the Hengfeng does not take the mature trade route, it should not lose money when it goes to Australia.

Chen Kan saw Yun Niang's cautious appearance, and sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, this matter will only be a good thing for Hengfeng, Australia will become an overseas enclave of Daming in the future, and the purpose of Benhou asking you to go to Australia is to ask you to go to the enclosure first."

Yun Niang didn't know what the enclosure meant, but she still keenly caught a signal from Chen Kan's mouth.

"Daming wants to start construction in Australia?"

As soon as Yun Niang's words fell, she hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled apologetically: "Okay, the slave family will do it, I don't know where the Hou Ye wants to send it over?" ”

Chen Kan stopped: "In a few days, someone will come to contact you, and now you don't need to go to sea for the time being, you can open up the channel first." ”

"The slave family understands!"

Yun Niang nodded, put away the map and walked out of the study.

Chen Kan sat on the chair bored, biting the pen and thinking about how to go in the future.

Yun Niang's words just now are good, but it is not that Daming wants to carry out construction in Australia, but that Chen Kan plans to go to Australia for retirement in the future.

It's no wonder that Chen Kan arranged a retreat for himself so early, it's really that the genes of the Zhu family emperor are too bad.

Chen Kan likes to build the Ming Dynasty, but it does not mean that he is willing to sacrifice his life.

He is not Fang Xiaoru.

In essence, he and Fang Xiaoru are two kinds of people, strictly speaking, two extremes.

Fang Xiaoru loves Daming, so he can die for Daming without hesitation.

But Chen Kan is just a refined egoist, he loves Daming, and he can also build Daming, but only if he can live a happy life first.

Once Da Ming threatens him, he will not hesitate to show everyone what it means to be far away.

For this reason, Chen Kan did not hesitate to place all the people he had cultivated over the years.

Those few on the surface are only a small part of his many hands over the years.

Chen Kan was very afraid of death, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money digging out many secret passages under the Hou Mansion in Jiangnan and the Hou Mansion in Beijing.

No one knew that on the Yangtze River wharf outside the city and the Zhuozhou wharf, there were always a few boats that never sailed, and those were all escape methods arranged by Chen Kan for himself.

No one will know that in addition to the treasure ships on the surface, Chen Kan also secretly asked Zheng He for several treasure ships, and even provided certain technical support, otherwise where did Zheng He come from such a large fleet now.

Even the joint gate is part of Chen Kan's plan, otherwise Chen Kan will be full of profits of millions a year.

It's just that Chen Kan didn't think that the imperial power would expand so quickly, and he didn't think about whether to place the retreat in Nanyang or Australia, so those things in the shadows have not moved.

But now, since Chen Kan has decided to go to Australia for retirement, there should be a steady stream of people who are dissatisfied with Daming or who voluntarily go to sea to build there.

After pondering for a while, Chen Kan was just about to go out when he heard a moving voice from outside the door: "Master Hou, the ship is ready, when will we leave?" ”

Chen Kan opened the door of the study and said lightly: "You first find a way to send Mr. Chen out of the city, wait for me on the boat, and I'll be there in a moment." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qia's current identity is more sensitive, everyone knows that he died in the fire of Jinyiwei, if someone sees him on the road in Jingshi, I am afraid that it will not be so easy for Chen Kan to leave.

So Chen Kancai couldn't help but explain more.

However, Zhang Dong's work is quite reliable, so Chen Kan is not too worried.

Seeing that the guards were all in action, Chen Kan also took a horse out of the Hou Mansion and walked towards the Fang Mansion.

If you want to leave, other people can not say it, Fang Fu still has to go.

When I came to the Fang Mansion, except for Fang Xiaoru, all the Fang family members were there.

Even the two senior sisters who got married, Fang Jiao and Fang E, came back.

As soon as Chen Kan entered the door, the two greeted him: "Little brother, I heard that your mother said that you are leaving again?" ”

Chen Kan saluted the two: "Eldest sister, second sister." ”

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Kan nodded helplessly: "If you don't go, it's a mistake for me to stay in Beijing, and sooner or later I will be targeted." ”

Fang Zhongxian and Fang Zhongyue had already told them the reason why he had to go, and he didn't say much at this moment.

Zheng's voice came from the room: "Yuansheng is back?" ”

Chen Kan answered, and entered the door with his two brothers and sister.

Zheng's face was a little lonely, and he looked at Chen Kan and said in a low voice: "If you leave, the old woman doesn't know if she can hold out until the day you come back." ”

Chen Kanqiang said with a smile: "What nonsense is the master talking about, the child is here, the long will be two or three years, and the short will be a year and a half to come back, you want to live a long life, how can you say such depressing words." ”

Hearing this, Zheng's face looked a little better: "You kid, you will make people happy since you were a child, no matter what, Jingshi is not a good place, you go, go far away, old woman and I, I hope you are all safe and sound." ”

Chen Kan responded with a smile, talked with Zheng for a while, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the old man respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "The child is gone, I will come back to see you in a few days, and please take care of your body!" ”
