"I didn't expect that we are still frogs at the bottom of the well, and this world is so huge!"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh and spoke.

"Yes, this so-called New World is even more extensive than my Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty's worries are even more unimaginable to us, according to this law, the entire Nanyang may not be the territory of my Ming Dynasty in less than a hundred years, even if it is the Western Ocean, it will not escape the control of my Ming Dynasty."

Tang Jing also sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but look at another scroll.

"Your Majesty's worries are indeed beyond our reach, no wonder there are so many materials on this trip to the West!"

Zhu Zhen also nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to Your Majesty's thoughts, we must have a foothold in the South Seas in order to complete it, I wonder what you two think of this?"

Zheng He looked at a few people and finished sighing, and then slowly spoke, and his right hand pointed to a location where the map was located.

"Manraka!"

Looking at the direction Zheng He was pointing, both of them couldn't help but lift their brows.

"My lord, Manraka has indeed come to communicate the important places of the South Seas and the West, if it is controlled by my Ming Dynasty, it is natural to control the South Seas and the West, but Manraka has already paid tribute, and I am afraid it is a little inappropriate for us to take it!"

After a deep groan, Zhu Zhen still couldn't help but speak.

As they have gone to sea several times, they naturally know the importance of Manraka, but it is not a coincidence that Manraka went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute last time, and it is not appropriate to take other people's territory just after paying tribute.

"General Zhu, we don't have to attack, didn't Your Majesty say that we want to carry out a trade, can't we trade this territory with Manraka?"

As Zhu Zhen spoke, Tang Jing couldn't help laughing, and his words were equally loud.

"Trade territory, I'm afraid Manraka won't agree!"

Zhu Zhen frowned and shook his head.

"No, he'll agree!"

Tang Jing chuckled, but his words were extremely determined.

"Will agree?"

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking a little puzzled.

"Yes, they will agree!"

Zheng He also chuckled, which made Zhu Zhen a little puzzled.

And what happened next shocked him even more.

After a month, the ships arrived in Manraka.

Zheng He directly made a request, and the king of Manraka agreed directly without the slightest hesitation.

Not even hesitating.

Manraka, or Malacca Dynasty, is a kingdom founded in 1402 by Bairi Missoula, known as Manraka in the Ming Dynasty, and its royal city is the city of Malacca, which in its heyday covered the southern part of Thailand to the southwestern part of Sumatra.

In the early days, Manjapahit had to pay 40 taels of gold a year to Siam, and there was a threat of Majapahit to the south.

At this moment, Manraka is not safe, even if they have the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, but this cannot guarantee their survival.

At this moment, Da Ming actually agreed to garrison troops in Manraka, and Manraka had no reason to refuse at all.

Even in order to keep the Ming Dynasty, the king of Manraka even gave up the capital directly.

As for the transaction fees, Manraka is not even more so.

It was Zheng He's request that it must be paid, and finally a piece of fine Jingdezhen porcelain was exchanged for the capital of Manchuria, as well as the right to use the entire strait for three hundred years.

When the two parties signed the contract, Zhu Zhen was still a little confused, and some couldn't react.

This is the capital of a country, and as a result, a piece of porcelain was purchased for three hundred years, which was unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty and in the entire history of China.

You must know that even Shi Jingjiao is not so exaggerated.

"Haha, Lord Zhu, this is overseas!"

"Forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit!"

Tang Jing smiled and patted his colleague's shoulder, his expression was very natural.

It's not the first time he's gone to sea, so he naturally knows what the situation is all overseas.

"It's really hard to get used to!"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

In the midst of the sighs of the two, Zheng He began to act.

He hadn't forgotten what he was here for.

While staying in Malacca, one after another edicts were immediately transmitted throughout the South Seas.

The edict order is very simple, by the order of the Son of Heaven, the Ming wants to hold a transaction in Ma Liujiao, and all the Ming subjects can come to participate, and they only need to bring enough food.

As soon as this order came out, the entire Nanyang could not help but shake.

After going to the West several times, the entire Nanyang countries did not have no understanding of the Ming Dynasty.

They all know how powerful the Ming is, and they also know that the Ming Dynasty is rich in products, and the exquisite porcelain, the silk like clouds, and the extremely sharp iron are the main things that attract them.

Although it was usually just a gift, this time it will be traded.

But this is not a problem, or even a happy thing, after all, the gift can only be given as much as they want, and they can buy it, then there is no limit.

The currency of the special purchase turned out to be grain, and it was even simpler.

Do they lack food, it is clear that there is no shortage of food.

All of a sudden, throughout Southeast Asia, one country after another began to act quickly.

In order to avoid the grain being flooded by the sea, Daming also provided intimate services, only the envoys of various countries need to transport the grain to the port, and then bring the value to Malacca.

Soon a month passed.

Envoys from various countries arrived in the Strait of Malacca.

And a large-scale trade fair was also held at this moment.

And this convening has undoubtedly fallen into a boom.

All the supplies were almost snatched up, and the food was directly squandered as if it didn't need money.

"Obediently, five hundred inferior broadswords can sell fifty thousand stone of grain!"

"These people are crazy!"

Zhu Zhen looked at the reported data in a daze, he only felt that this world was a little crazy.

"They have so much food?"

At this moment, Tang Jing next to him was also a little dumbfounded.

Even if he was familiar with Nanyang, he never thought that Nanyang's grain would be so rich.

In a short period of time, Daming actually obtained 180,000 stone grain, and the number is still increasing.

If all these items are sold, it will probably not be a problem for the grain to exceed 500,000 stones.

What is the concept of 500,000 stones, if each person eats 1 catty per day on average, then 200,000 people eat 200,000 catties per day. 500,000 stones, or 50 million catties of grain, can feed more than 200,000 people for a full 250 days.

And that's just the result of a trade.

With such data, not to mention that Zhu Zhen and Tang Jing can't calm down, even Zheng He can't calm down.

Although he had been to the West several times and felt that there was a lot of grain in the South Seas, he never imagined that this level of proficiency had reached the level of today.

With such a value, Zheng He felt that his scalp was numb for a while.

"Tang Jing, you immediately take someone to transport this 180,000 stone grain to Da Ming, and hand over this piece to Your Majesty, this time we may need to stay in Nanyang for a while!"

The words spoke quickly, and Zheng He immediately made a decision.
