"You bunny, are you crazy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily: "It's thousands of miles away from our Daming, and there is an endless sea in the middle, what are you doing with a landlubber?"

"Then let's just watch those corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes come in?"

"That's enough to feed 200 million people. "

Zhu Di is still insisting.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Let's discuss this matter again, wait for the next time we will discuss it with Qin Feng, ask him if there is any good way, and then we will make plans." "

There is still too little information available.

I only know that thousands of miles away from the East China Sea, there is a continent called America.

As for how to get there, what method to use, and whether there are any good routes, these are all unclear.

Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Ming Dynasty with his bare hands, which is not something to be said casually.

He never fights unprepared battles.

"Dad is right, fourth brother, we still have to be patient and wait, we have too little news in our hands, and it is easy to suffer a big loss if we take the enemy lightly. "

Zhu Biao also agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's statement.

Zhu Di hung his head and didn't want to speak.

"It's over, it's over!"

Just as the grandfather and his wife were arguing, Xu Da hurriedly ran into the palace with a sad expression on his face.

"Tiande, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tightened.

Xu Da is his Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and he has never been so flustered when he commands thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield.

"Big brother, your niece, my family Miaojin has disappeared mysteriously. "

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di were confused.

Yongle era.

The elderly Zhu Di crossed his waist.

Standing on the tower of the Forbidden City.

Look to the east.

He also has a map of the world behind him.

"I've seen a lot, old man. I didn't expect that on the other side of the East China Sea, there was actually a continent. "

The video shared by Qin Feng also startled the elderly Zhu Di.

The world is so big.

And it is also divided into pieces by the ocean.

It's really interesting.

"Dad, Zheng He is here. "

Zhu Gaochi walked over with a eunuch.

He is Zheng He.

"Slaves and maidservants greet Your Majesty. "

Zheng He kowtowed respectfully.

"Zheng He, have you seen it? There is only a little bit of the Western Ocean you went to. "

Zhu Di pointed to the world map behind him.

Before.

Zheng He went to the West.

Zhu Di thought that he had traveled all over the world.

I didn't expect that.

And that's just getting started.

"The slave didn't expect the world to be so big. "

Zheng He was also very excited.

He knows.

Zhu Di called him over at this time, and he was definitely not idle and bored.

Then go to the West.

That was Zheng He's biggest dream.

Because he was a believer.

And at the far end of the Western Sea, there is the destination of his pilgrimage.

The first few times I went to the West.

Zheng He suffered a lot because of the route.

Even.

When he asked for directions along the way, he had many conflicts with other countries, and even killed several brothers.

Zheng He felt very sad in his heart.

But what made him even more desperate was that he had endured all the hardships, but still did not find the final pilgrimage site.

Because he didn't have a specific map, he didn't know how to get there.

Until Qin Feng shared this video.

Zheng He knows.

The time has come for his dream to come true!

"The world is so big, then you can go and see it for me. "

The elderly Zhu Di saw Zheng He's desire, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Go to the place of pilgrimage in your dreams." Remember, don't give up halfway when you go to the West this time. We must go all over Europe and America. "

After speaking.

The elderly Zhu Di personally took off the world map behind him and handed it over to Zheng He.

"The minister must do his best to serve Your Majesty!"

Zheng He was moved to tears.

If you have to meet the master, what more can you ask for?

"Dad, if I don't go with Zheng He, you give me 20,000 elite soldiers, and I will defeat all Europe and America, and they will surrender to our Ming Dynasty. "

Zhu Gaoxu is ambitious.

After seeing the world map.

He realized how narrow his vision was.

It turns out that the world is so big.

Why bother to shrink down in a Ming boss to fight for the throne?

Wouldn't it be beautiful to go to Europe or America to be an emperor and echo the Ming Dynasty?

"You?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's thankless." "

Zhu Gaochi also smiled and said: "Yes, second brother, what are you doing in such a far place? Those places may be barren land, except for some high-yield crops occasionally, there is nothing." "

"Why should we go on an expedition?"

This sentence went to Zhu Di's heart.

"It's still the boss who has a vision. What Europe, what America, maybe all barren land, what's the use of fighting down? "

Zhu Di is already old.

He only thought that in his lifetime, he could defeat the enemies of the north far away, leaving a peace for future generations.

This is the most beneficial to Daming.

As for the overseas expedition, going to the barren places of Europe and the Americas has no benefit at all, and Zhu Di is not interested.

"Who said that? Maybe there's something unexpected out there. "

Zhu Gaoxu expressed dissatisfaction.

Why is the boss right?

Why am I wrong about everything?

"Don't talk nonsense here, what good things can you have in some barren land? "

The elderly Zhu Di waved his hand impatiently.

in other historical dynasties.

The emperors and generals were also arguing about whether to go to sea to the Americas.

Some emperors and ministers felt that this was a good opportunity.

If corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes could be obtained in that new continent, then an additional 200 million people could be fed, and the national strength would be greatly enhanced.

Of course.

There were also emperors and ministers of many dynasties who were conservative and dismissive.

They think that although corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are good, they are located thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and there is an endless sea in the middle.

Instead of spending so much effort, it is better to honestly cultivate one's own one-third of an acre.

Besides.

Apart from this bit of food, it seems that there is nothing left in the Americas.

Where is the kingdom of heaven?

The two sides quarreled with each other, and in the end nothing came of it.

And right in the middle of the quarrel.

Qin Feng shared the video again.

Title name: [10 major colonial empires in modern human history in one minute]

in the picture.

A map of the world, which is divided into more than 200 countries, is presented in front of the eyes of the ancients.

Colonial empires?

When Ying Zheng saw this name, he immediately became interested.

"Lees, do you know what this means?"

Li Si pondered for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what it means. "

Ying Zheng did not blame him.

This is, after all, post-2000 information.

It is not surprising that they did not know in this era.

Three Kingdoms.

Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think clearly what this colonial empire meant.

"Strategist, you are well-informed, explain to us. "

Zhuge Liang's action of shaking the goose feather fan suddenly stopped.

Isn't this bullying honest people?

Qin Feng is a person after 2000.

Who knows what age this video he posted.

Where do I know where to go?

"Liang doesn't know, it's probably some other empire on the map, similar to our Han Empire. "

Although he didn't know what it meant, Zhuge Liang had to try his best to guess, otherwise how could he be embarrassed to be a military advisor.

"I see. "

Liu Bei was thoughtful.

"I just don't know who has the bigger territory of these 10 empires or the Han Empire. "

He's looking forward to it.

"My lord, the largest in the world, but Liang believes that our Han Empire must be the largest empire in the world.

Zhuge Liang said firmly.

Dahan.

Liu Che looked at the world map in front of him, and then looked at the video shared by Qin Feng on the canopy.

"Colonial empire? I still don't believe it, there are countries in this world that are more powerful than the Han Empire. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

[10th place, German Empire.] 】

With the advent of the subtitles, the area of the territory of the German Empire, the center of Europe, on the world map, turned red.

Meanwhile.

On the African continent below Europe, two or three small patches have also turned red, indicating that these places are colonies of the German Empire.

[The German Empire, with a colonial area of about 3.5 million square kilometers, occupies 4 countries in Africa, and colonized it in 1871~1918. 】

[Although the territory of these four countries is not large, the natural resources here are very rich, and the output of gold and silver has reached hundreds of millions of taels. 】

Well???

All the ancients were dumbfounded.

"What?

Song Huizong threw away the brush he was painting with, and looked at the line of words with his eyes. []

As everyone knows.

The Song Dynasty was the most commercially developed dynasty in history, with silver production and trading volume reaching tens of millions of taels.

Song Huizong was also proud of this.

Before.

When he saw the world map, he didn't have much interest.

Rich people.

You can buy whatever you want.

The Great Song Dynasty did not lack that bit of food.

But when he saw that some small countries in Africa could produce hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver, even the rich and oily Great Song Dynasty was not calm at all.

"Good boy, so much gold and silver?"

"Africa, is that the continent in the bottom left?"

"I didn't expect this place to be so rich. "

The heads of many businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty began to come alive.

Totaling how to go to sea to earn a vote for it.

Daming, Yongle.

"Second child, come on, help me quickly. "

The elderly Zhu Di covered his heart.

His forehead was covered with sweat.

Recently.

He also said that the expedition abroad was just a waste of money.

There is no interest in it.

The slap in the face came so quickly.

Hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver!

What is this concept?

The Ming Dynasty is an empire built on ruins.

Poor!

Especially the first few dynasties of the founding of the country.

Whether it is in Hongwu or Yongle, or even in Hongxi and Xuande in the back, the country is not very rich.

Most of the currencies in circulation in the market are mainly copper coins.

This is not because of how convenient copper coins are, but because there is too little gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty, which is very inconvenient to circulate and has a high value.

But if there are hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver, then the situation is completely different.

The liquidity and diversity of the Ming currency will be greatly increased, which is a lot of wealth.

Why did Zhu Gaochi repeatedly oppose Zhu Di's northern expedition.

Also because of lack of money.

With money, there is enough food, enough soldiers and horses, and it is easy to fight.

This moment.

The small countries in Africa rich in gold and silver are obviously no longer barren lands in Zhu Di's eyes, but proper big fat sheep.

"Dad, those places are really good, I'll help you knock them down, how about it?"

Zhu Gaoxu was also very excited.

I thought my plan had come to naught.

I didn't expect that there was no endless road.

A popular science video of a colonial empire can have such a big effect.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect it.

There is so much gold and silver overseas.

".~ Boss, I can't fight this time. "

The elderly Zhu Di did not have a hot brain, and directly asked Zhu Gaochu to go on an expedition, but wanted to hear Zhu Gaochi's opinion.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, since it is beneficial to the country, I naturally will not object. "

"But you can't rush anything. "

"The video says that the German Empire colonized in 1871, which is hundreds of years later than our time. "

"Even if we are going on an expedition, we are not in a hurry at this time. "

"My opinion still has to listen to Qin Feng's thoughts first. "

"After all, his time is more advanced, and he may know more than we do. When we have enough information, it's not too late for the second child to go on an expedition. "

The elderly Zhu Di closed his eyes and listened.

A fiery heart gradually calmed down.

Zhu Gaochi is right.

I couldn't find gold and silver anywhere else, so I rushed over in a hurry.

Figure out all the circumstances first.

Then do a good job of strategic planning.

Everything fell into place.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"Okay, just listen to the boss, wait a few more days, and when the old man and I connect with Qin Feng by video, let's decide. "

The elderly Zhu Di made a decision.

Datang.

Li Shimin was not calm at all.

Hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver!

He'd never seen it in his life.

"Expedition! Expedition must be carried out! This national policy has been decided, and no one can say that it is easy to do it. "

Li Shimin immediately announced.

None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty objected.

That's silver and gold for nothing, and whoever is against it is an idiot.

"The problem is that Africa is not close to our Datang, and we have to pass through many countries on the way, so this wealth is not easy to take. "

The eldest grandson Wuji pondered.

"The so-called wealth is in danger, even if it is not easy to take, we Datang must go. "

Cheng Yanjin insisted on going.

Don't be in vain in those places.

If you don't go to Datang, some people go.

"Then we have to think about it in the long run, we don't know much about the situation, at least we have to get more news from Qin Feng. "

The eldest grandson Wuji did not give in.

"Okay, what the auxiliary machine said is right, we still know too little, let's wait for now. "

Li Shimin also calmed down.

Although gold white (Li Qian's) silver is good, it is not so easy to take.

Qin Feng!

When will you be able to video with me?

My daughter is still waiting for you to marry.

Li Shimin looked up at the sky, his eyes full of anxiety.

Da Ming, Hong Wu.

"Dad, have you seen it? There is so much gold and silver in these small countries, if we don't go, we will give it to others for nothing. "

Young Zhu Di was in a hurry.

I can't wait to go to Africa immediately and bring back all that gold and silver.

"Shut up. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was not very happy.

He is a small common man in his bones, and the small-scale peasant economy has always been his most behesitant concept of governance.

Gold and silver these things.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need it very much.

Because he has his own secret weapon.

"Look at your little bit of interest. What's wrong with the gold and silver? How many of the treasure notes we printed, and how much do you want to spend?"

Not bad.

Zhu Yuanzhang's secret weapon is treasure money.

He always thought that the so-called money was defined by him.

He was the emperor.

He said that the money is as much as it is.

Who would dare to disobey?

If you have such a good thing, why bother Baal to find all that gold and silver?

"Dad, I always feel that there is something wrong with these treasure money. "

Zhu Biao frowned.

Although he couldn't tell what was wrong, his intuition told him that such a thing as treasure money was a piece of paper to put it bluntly, and the common people could really recognize it?

"Go, go, this is the way we have carefully figured out, you kid knows ball. "

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to hear it at all.

He was most disgusted by mentioning these topics about business.

Because when he was young, he was once deceived by profiteers.

Since then, celery.

Zhu Yuanzhang divided businessmen and corrupt officials on the same level.

In the video.
