Chapter 514: Zhu Fan pinched his feet

With the support of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Tang He decided to give it his all, knowing that this mission was extraordinary, requiring the leadership and training of a more powerful fleet to deal with all possible risks.

As a result, Tang He began to recruit some experienced crew members to form the core members of the pioneer army.

During this time, Yuwa began to delve into the knowledge of navigation and geography.

He read a lot of books, learned the art of astrological navigation, and continued to learn and master new techniques by interacting with his experienced veterans.

Time passed day by day.

As the new fleet gradually took shape, Tang He carefully selected captains and sailors for each ship, and personally instructed them on how to deal with unexpected situations during the voyage and how to stay vigilant in unfamiliar environments.

Finally, everything was ready, and Yuwa personally led this new fleet to set sail.

The fleet traveled all the way hard, experienced countless tests of life and death, and finally came to a mysterious sea.

The wind is calm, the sun is shining, and the water is crystal clear, as if you are in a fairyland.

Tang He's eyes flashed with joy, he knew that this was the transit place he had always dreamed of, and he had finally found a route that could transport minerals smoothly.

On a small island in this sea area, they met the local residents.

These residents are gentle and friendly.

Farming and fishing for a living.

They provided food and shelter for Tang and the group.

Deeply touched by the contact with the residents, he decided to personally lead the fleet to build a closer relationship with the friendly islanders.

After consulting with the islanders, Tang He decided to set up a trading post in this sea area to facilitate the residents to communicate and trade with the Ming Dynasty.

This trade war quickly became a place of prosperity.

Tanghe's fleet came and went frequently, not only transporting minerals, but also carrying agricultural products and handicrafts from the Ming Dynasty.

This not only brings wealth and prosperity, but also promotes the exchange and integration of cultures.

Time flew by like a white horse, and Yuwa's fleet stayed on the island for a long time.

But when Tang and they were about to leave the island, the islanders burst into tears as they saw them off.

Their gratitude to Yuwa is indescribable, because Yuwa not only brought them wealth and prosperity, but more importantly, brought them hope.

"Lord Tang, we islanders will always remember your kindness and help."

"You are our savior, and we will cherish you as if you were our family."

The island thought that the old man said to Tang He excitedly.

Tang He smiled and nodded, knowing that he had accomplished his mission.

On the day he left the island, Tang and the fleet encountered fine weather.

The fleet continues to explore new routes.

After another period of time, Tang and them groped out a good sea route and finally returned to Daming.

In the Imperial Palace, the Temple of Bongeon.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and looked at Tang He and frowned slightly: "Dingchen, we know that you have worked hard this time." ”

"But opening up a new seafaring route is not an easy task, and we have to think carefully and not take risks."

Tang He nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister is well aware of the importance of this matter, and he also knows the risks involved. ”

"However, I need a lot of mineral resources, and the current route is not convenient enough."

"The minister has done his best, but he has not yet found the best channel."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any plans?" ”

Tang He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister intends to send a fleet of elite sailors to continue the search for new shipping routes. ”

"The fleet will explore various sea areas along the way to find more convenient and faster routes."

"If we succeed in opening up new shipping lanes, we will be able to access mineral resources more quickly."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said with a serious expression: "Dingchen, this task is not small for you. ”

"Remember, safety comes first, and you can't take any chances."

Tang He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will ensure the safety of the team." ”

"In this exploration, in addition to the sailor team, I will personally lead an elite escort team."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "Dingchen, we believe that you can succeed, as long as there is a need, whether it is manpower or material resources, we will fully support it." ”

So, Tang He began a new round of exploration.

Ying Tianfu.

The days that Zhu Yuanzhang waited for passed day by day, but there was no news, which made him more and more worried about Tang He's safety.

He now hoped that Tanghe would be able to return safely.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, he thought of the second Zhu Zhang.

Why didn't he think of letting the second child go to the Confucius Temple to ask the all-knowing Lin Che.

Just do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed into civilian clothes and went to the Confucius Temple, next door to Lin Che's mansion.

Before leaving, the eunuch sent a letter to Zhu Zhang.

The above content is very simple, that is, let Zhu Fan ask Lin Che how to open up a new route.

Less than half an hour.

Zhu Fan hurried to the Confucius Temple Mansion.

As usual, the two of them drank and ate food first, and when the wine passed three rounds, Zhu Fan said respectfully: "Sir, I have some questions I want to ask you." ”

Lin Che took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I'm worried that I have nothing to do, you can say it." ”

He looked at Zhu Fan while drinking, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Lin Che didn't answer Zhu Fan's question directly, but said with a smile: "Look at your hands, they are so hard, you must have never done massages and pinched feet." ”

Zhu Fan was a little confused, not understanding that Lin Che Weisheng would suddenly mention massage and pinch his feet.

He said blankly, "Yes, I've never done any of this. ”

Lin Che smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance to let you pinch for me, I heard that massage and foot pinching can help people relax and help think." ”

Zhu Fan did not hesitate at all, and did it directly.

Zhu Fan gently grabbed Lin Che's feet and began to massage and knead the soles of his feet, the warm feeling spread throughout Lin Che's body, he unconsciously stretched his body, and felt an unprecedented comfort.

Zhu Fan saw Lin Che close his eyes and enjoy the feeling of pinching his feet, and said: "Sir, our life is like a book, only after experiencing wind and rain can we leave deep traces on the pages. ”

Lin Che nodded and said, "So the reason why you kid can't feel the frustrations and tribulations of life is because you have been protected too well." ”

Seeing Zhu Fan fall into deep thought.

Lin Che continued: "I have understood your kid's question, and I can answer you, but before you get the answer, I hope you can go through some setbacks and tribulations. ”

Zhu Fan looked at Lin Che in surprise, he didn't expect Lin Che to say this, he asked a little puzzled, "Why?" ”

Lin Che smiled and said, "Because only by experiencing setbacks and tribulations can you understand the true meaning of the question and the meaning of the answer." ”

Zhu Fan calmed down, he knew that Lin Che was right.

He decided to accept Lin Che's suggestion, go through some hardships and setbacks, and use his own personal experience to find the answer.
