By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the Quanzhou region had been initially developed, and overseas trade developed. After the Song Dynasty, the leylines moved south, and the economic center also shifted to the south.

The economy of Quanzhou has been further developed, especially after the Song family moved south, Quanzhou's overseas trade income has become the "Southern Treasury of the Son of Heaven".

After entering the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol rulers reused the Arab merchant Pu Shou Geng to recruit customers from all over the world, and the port of Quanzhou finally developed to the extreme.

But since the Ming Dynasty, with the sea ban normal. However, Quanzhou was not able to support it like Guangzhou, but completely declined. By now, it has long been obscure......

Even in Fujian, it's just an ordinary rich place!

But they don't know that the reason why history is history is the result of accidents under the surging of countless undercurrents, and there are too many accidents.

In many cases, as long as there is a slight push at a key node, the general trend of history will slide and move into a place that no one knows.

After receiving so many gifts, Zhu Cihong naturally knew how useful these were for his father and the imperial court.

The biggest point that courtiers can get stuck with the emperor is in the money and grain. But these people can be stuck, but they can't not give it, or at most deduct it, so that your funds can't be linked. But I didn't dare not give it!

And temporarily blocking the money and grain of the imperial court is a means of negotiating with the imperial court. With so much money and food in hand, Zhu Youzhen can suffer less losses and be extorted less.

After all, the imperial court still has to rely on these people to maintain it, and they have a sense of proportion. It's up to Zhu Youzhen to handle it himself?

In short, Master Wen himself has fulfilled his intentions.

"The Heavenly Master is so respectful," Zhu Cihong said: "Father can't take ...... in vain."

At this time, it is called the Heavenly Master. But it means that he no longer regards Master Wen as a ghost emperor. It's as if the Qin Cha represented the emperor at the moment of the decree, and after the decree was delivered, he was still an ordinary person.

This bit of etiquette is a very natural and ordinary thing for both parties. Anyway, the Great Heavenly Master Wen is not a turtle, how can he be a character of the Heavenly Master.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and many of them came out with a lot of return gifts. This. It's that all the ministers are taken for granted.

After all, the Heavenly Empire is in the upper kingdom, and the dignity of the imperial court is like this. It's a self-imposed rule. If you pay tribute from afar, the court will naturally pay it back tenfold.

For this point, the Confucian ministers were very conscious of defending it. Even if the imperial court can't come up with so many things, they would rather not accept gifts. But they are not willing to harvest in vain.

Soon a group of mermaids walked over. But it was five hundred boys and girls, under the command of a group of eunuchs, who quietly and silently walked up to the boat.

"The Heavenly Master cultivates hardships and is hereby dedicated to the service of virgins and men. The chanter sang.

These are some orphans who have been trained by the royal family for a period of time, and basically know the rules.

Then hundreds of people came over with their families, but it was a bit chaotic.

"Send five hundred craftsmen to build a palace for the Heavenly Master!"

And a hundred more women. They are all young, but these are not ordinary people. But she is a weaver girl in the Nanjing Weaving Mansion. These nominal. It's the one who weaves clothes for the Heavenly Master!

These are inconspicuous when it comes to them, but they are actually priceless.

They are all seeds of civilization, and it can be said that it is difficult to buy them. Only the royal family has the courage to give away so much.

In the past, when Tibet was just emerging, it was just a nomadic tribe. It was because Li Shimin gave such a craftsman talent when he married Princess Wencheng.

It was only in one fell swoop that Tubo developed from a backward civilization of slash-and-burn cultivation all of a sudden. Of course, the Wa Kingdom also developed like this back then.

These things can be regarded as one of the most important goals of Master Wen after his return this time.

And then something, it is nothing, nothing more than silk, porcelain and all kinds of crafts like that. Not to mention that it is put in Europe, even in Middle-earth, it is also a first-class good thing, royal use.

It wasn't until all these things were on the ship that Wen Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and the most important goal this time was almost over.

"Please get on the ship, let's take the boat directly to Nanjing!" said Master Wen with a smile.

"This doesn't seem to be a good ......."

Before the official finished speaking, the prince had already stepped up. The officials around looked at each other, but they heard Master Wen say with a smile: "Come up together, I just brought some treasures from Fusang, not to mention that eating them can prolong life, at least it can also replenish vitality......

As soon as he said this, many people's eyes lit up. This is a real immortal who has returned from an overseas immortal mountain! Maybe there is something like peach and jujube......

So these people followed on the boat, and the East Palace guards behind them. followed the boat, but saw several ships slowly raising their sails and heading off the shore.

Those adults have never been on such a big boat. One by one, they were amazed again and again, and sighed in their mouths: "I'm afraid that only your treasure ship of the Three Treasure Eunuchs is so big, right?"

Some of them began to ponder the poems, and when they were ready to go back, they would write a good article with a wonderful pen to commemorate the momentum.

In the midst of the commotion, I felt that something was wrong! The ship seemed to be heading for the open sea.

Until this time, I heard Zhu Cihong announce: "Father, let me follow Master Wen Tianshi and go to Fusang ......"

"What?"

"What ......"

All of a sudden, everyone was stunned, like a thunderbolt from the blue, almost stupid.

Many people stared at the prince's mouth, just hoping that he would say now: "Just kidding...... I was just joking with you......"

However, Zhu Cihong said word by word: "This is a big deal, and it shouldn't have been hidden from you Aiqing." It's just that it's a big matter, but I have to keep it a secret!"

As Zhu Cihong's voice did not fall, almost all the officials below rebelled. One by one, they were so angry that they almost got ready to go.

At this time, Master Wen stood up with a dark face: "Wait for the king's fortune and loyalty to the king." is so rude to the prince, is there still a courtier's courtesy?"

Now, these officials are blocked. It's just that the combat effectiveness of these guys, especially the skill of the mouth cannon, is definitely not low, and they immediately pointed the finger at Wen Datianshi: "It must be you who are bewitching the emperor and the prince." We're going to ......"

"Touching ......"

Before he could finish a word, he heard the sound of muskets. Between the footsteps, a group of Feiyun warriors surrounded them. In the face of the muskets, the officials were silent.

At this time, Master Wen Da Tianshi's face completely changed: "Talk to you well, you don't listen." Come, whoever makes a noise, tie me up, and hang it up to blow the sea breeze......"

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone cried even more. In the face of the black muzzle, no one spoke, and the only one who died through the ages.

Originally, the Manchus used butcher knives to teach these scholars how to obey, and Master Wen didn't mind repeating it at all.

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please come with me and let these people calm down first. If anyone wants to die, he will throw himself into the sea, but I will never stop him!"

With a wave of his hand, the Feiyun warriors withdrew. Only a group of people were left looking at each other, not knowing who was sad from the heart, and cried: "The fox is dead, and the fallen leaves return to the roots." I don't want my generation to die in the wilderness today!"

Before he finished speaking, two wolf-like warriors of the Feiyun Tribes came over and carried the man out.

Straight out of the cabin!

"This Celestial Master...... This is Ruan Dacheng, just kill ...... like this" Zhu Cihong hesitated.

These officials are all officials of the East Palace. In the future, it will be his team, especially when he travels thousands of miles away. Each of these people is very important. Especially Ruan Dacheng, this person was still asked by Wenda Heavenly Master by name.

Great Heavenly Master Wen smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, but it is just to scare them." If this guy shouts like this a few more times, after the atmosphere of grief and indignation is rendered, maybe on impulse, many people will really commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and it will be difficult to do it at that time. But before the flames ignite a fire, pinch it out...... Look again, are these guys still looking for death?"

Zhu Cihong looked at it again, and the officials in the cabin were all frightened like sparrows. are all full of fear, and where is the slightest morale to seek death.

He raised his eyes and looked at Wen Fei looking at him with a smile. Zhu Cihong's endowment is not bad, and he suddenly understood at this moment that this is Master Wen who is teaching him the art of the emperor by word and deed.

Therefore, he sincerely said, "Thank you, Heavenly Master!"

Wen Fei made a gesture of please, and directly took Zhu Cihong to another cabin, although it was not big, but it was covered with a thick white carpet, and all kinds of oil painting table clocks, there was a Western flavor revealed.

"This Zhenyuan was originally a Western-style ship. Wen Fei said with a smile: "But I took it over, and the layout here was also done by those foreigners that day." But he was wronged by His Highness!"

Zhu Cihong shook his head, and suddenly sighed and said, "I really didn't expect these Yangyi to be so good. I counted the number of such large ships, and there were more than 100 red-coated guns on this ship...... It's my Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid there aren't so many ......"

"There are 180 doors in all. Master Wen said lightly: "I have captured two of these ships, and one is in the South Seas. That ship had one hundred and sixty guns......"

"Hiss......"

As a prince, even if he is young. It's not ignorant anymore. Of course, I know how much it costs to build such a cannon.

Even with the financial resources of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to afford to build so many cannons.

"In fact, in terms of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, building so many red-coated cannons is actually not too difficult. (To be continued......)
