Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 474 All nations come to Korea

   On the map, there is a red heart.

  In the depth of the red heart, there is a big cross.

   This shocking cross immediately attracted the attention of Emperor Hongzhi.

this is…

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly brightened, this is a brand new continent.

  This huge continent can be said to be isolated from the world, with vast oceans on both sides.

   But the mainland is huge, but in the middle of it, the legendary **** of the Three Treasures is marked here.

  This place... is the land of the gods. It produces fine seeds that can yield tens of thousands of catties per mu. Its livestock don’t need to eat too much, and can produce thousands of catties of meat.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help trembling, and the brilliance in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He subconsciously pointed his finger here, and at the same time, he suddenly thought of Fang Jifan's report before going to the West, so he looked up at Fang Jifan and said, "Fang Qing's family, you once said that there is a country in the far west, and there are gods? "

  Fang Jifan thought in his heart, yes, I said it.

   On the face, he was surprised: "Why did Your Majesty ask about this today?

  Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath!

  In fact, he trusted Fang Jifan.

   This guy has always been reliable.

   But sometimes, he can't help but ask himself, what is the difference between spending countless money and food to go to the west to seek the **** seed for this illusory legend, and the first emperor ordering people to go to the sea to find the longevity medicine? The risks and investments involved are too great, and it has to make him feel uneasy in his heart many times.

  But now... all this has been confirmed.

  Even the Sanbao **** knew about it!

  Sanbao **** and Fang Jifan are people who are separated by a hundred years. These two people are very reliable, but at the same time they pointed to this land in the far west, that piece of land that was unprecedented in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi. What does this mean?

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time, lost in thought.

Then he said indifferently: "A hundred years ago, the Sanbao **** mentioned this matter on this map. The Sanbao **** has traveled to the West seven times and has extensive knowledge. He made this map to remind the imperial court to obtain the ten thousand yuan per mu. kilos of crops. Just..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi sighed faintly, and then said again: "It's just why he didn't mention this in the end? It's because this map was left out in Mugudushu, and he couldn't determine the exact location. , so I dare not raise it? Or..."

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes.

Seeing him talking to himself, Fang Jifan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the minister who opposed Zheng He was in power at that time, not to mention that at that time, Emperor Wen had passed away, and the new emperor had no interest in going to the West. Zheng He knew very well In this way, there is no way to recover, if you raise it at this time, it will be a serious crime."

   "The crime is serious?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly flickered.

  The accompanying ministers seemed to have guessed something, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, that's right...that's it.

  Think about it, when the new emperor was not interested in voyages to the West, when many people in the court began to criticize Zheng He, and countless scholars thought that voyages to the West were a waste of money and food.

  At this juncture, Zheng He dares to tell everyone, is there such a magical seed in the Far West?

   I'm afraid that if he hasn't brought it up, he will be criticized by countless people the next day, thinking that he is deceiving the king.

   Now the emperors and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are convinced that there are such miraculous seeds in the world. It is because of the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes that everyone is convinced that seeing is believing. This broadens people's vision, thinking that since there are crops with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, how can there be no crops with a yield of tens of thousands of catties per mu?

  But at that time, in the era when one mu of land only harvested three shi rice, you, Zheng He, mentioned this, did you mean to make Daming continue to waste money and food to send you to the West, and you made a big lie?

  So even if Zheng He took it out at that time, not only would it not be good for the voyages to the West, but it might strengthen the determination of the emperors and ministers to ban the sea.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, if it wasn't because of sweet potatoes and potatoes, or because of Fang Qing's family, if someone sent this map to me, I would probably be suspicious of this person's original intention. I don't know how much bitterness there is, and I can't talk about it. He must know that the matter is irreparable, and it is impossible to obtain this magical seed. In order to stop this idea, he deliberately left this map overseas..."

   All the ministers nodded one after another, thinking it was reasonable, and many of them sighed in their hearts. If they had continued to sail to the west, I am afraid that people would no longer worry about food in the future.

   What kind of prosperity will this be?

   What a pity... what a pity.

  However, the people of the past must be responsible for the mistakes of the people in this world. Now, is it necessary to let such regrets continue to be left to future generations?

  Emperor Hongzhi's finger pointed at the center of the huge island, and his eyes did not move for a long time.

  Here...is the most central location of America, North America.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled gratifiedly: "Fang Qing's family coincides with the **** of the Three Treasures, so it can be seen that the rumors about this kind of **** are true. The land of the extreme west is originally here."

  He couldn't help feeling relieved.

The vastness of the world is on this map, and Emperor Hongzhi has no ambitions: "Now, the farthest point that the Ming Dynasty has reached is at Mugudushu, so the next voyage to the west will be to bypass the place where Mugudushu is located. Kunlun Continent has passed this place, and the land where the gods are located is facing each other across the sea. Since Da Ming returned to the Western Seas, Xu Qing's family has been a pioneer, and after that, Da Ming will sail for the second time. If I do it the second time, there will be a third and fourth time until I get the God Seed, otherwise I will never quit!"

  After he finished his righteous speech, he shouted solemnly: "Prince..."

  He is somewhat suspicious of this map, and always feels a little weird.

  He was distracted, when he heard Emperor Hongzhi's call, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly responded, "My son is here."

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Remember what I said just now. One day, if my body fails and the crown prince succeeds the great rule, this Western exploration must not be interrupted. The regret of the Sanbao **** is a lesson for the past, and future generations will mourn. Failure to learn from it will also cause future generations to mourn for future generations!"

   "My son obeys the order."

  Emperor Hongzhi's words were a bit serious, and Zhu Houzhao naturally responded honestly. He secretly glanced at Fang Jifan, and Fang Jifan looked loyal and honest.

   A big stone in my heart fell to the ground.

  The face of the world can finally be announced to the world.

  The vastness of the world will shock countless people.

   More importantly, this time it was considered a perfect success. You see, the minister did not deceive His Majesty, did the three treasure eunuchs say so, and the minister and the three treasure eunuchs coincided with each other, which shows that the minister is an honest person!

  If one day, this crop is not found, then it has nothing to do with the minister, there must be something wrong with the way of finding it.

   In fact, Fang Jifan has nothing to worry about. Even if one day, in five or ten years, Daming arrives in America, so what?

Even if they reach the port, they are still thousands of miles away from the legendary place. If the troops of Ming Dynasty want to go deep into the interior, they must at least establish trade and settlements in the Americas in order to maintain a switch-sized treasure hunting team. The very center of North America, when it arrived there, it has been proved that Ming has the ability to open up in America.

   There, the ten thousand miles of fertile land is enough to make countless Han people feel as if they have entered a treasure.

  By then, Fang Jifan would not be worried at all about the possibility of being liquidated. Everyone would only praise Fang Jifan, opening a new door for Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Very well, pass on the decree and trigger this map. I want all the yamen to hang up this map and let them know that I, Ming, will spare no effort to find the gods. For generations, if there is no Never give up until you find it, and let everyone see how big this world is."

  He sat down, with a look of joy on his face: "Xu Qing's house."

   Xu Jing's mood is actually a bit complicated, he knows the inside story best, well, this is deceiving the king.

   Fortunately, there is no shocked expression on his face. His mentor...is such a person, lawless, doing whatever he wants, he...has long been used to it.

   "The minister is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "You have found the treasure of the Three Treasures eunuch, and you have worked hard..."

   "Your Majesty." Xu Jing said calmly: "I went to sea this time, and what I found back was not only the map of the Three Treasures eunuch, but also countless rare treasures in the world, which I want to dedicate to Your Majesty."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being amused, and said curiously, "I'll take a few samples and have a look."

  Thus, countless treasures were quickly moved here, including pearls the size of goose eggs, huge ivory, and corals as tall as half a person. It is simply overwhelming to see.

   Each of these treasures is priceless in Daming.

  Even a character like Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded. He had already seen the world, but he was still somewhat shocked in front of such rare treasures.

   "These treasures were all brought back by the minister and presented to His Majesty. May Your Majesty live long and in good health."

   "Okay, okay, okay!" Emperor Hongzhi cheerfully stroked his beard with his hands, looking joyful.

He is a very stingy person, and he is usually reluctant to eat and use. Now facing Xu Jing's "filial piety", Emperor Hongzhi is very happy. Such a rare treasure, Xu Jing can get it at his fingertips. Some are rare.

  Xu Jing then said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say!"

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Your family, please tell me."

"I sailed all the way to comfort the four directions. All the Western countries admired your majesty's kindness. Therefore, on the return journey, they sent countless envoys. Envoys from forty-seven countries came with me to pay homage to your majesty. They... would like to cooperate with you I am Ming, and we will be friends from generation to generation."

  Forty-seven countries!

  Everyone was moved, everyone's first reaction was that Xu Jing was lying!
