Not only did Zhu Zhanji's words not make Lu Wansheng and others feel disgusted, but they felt a sense of closeness to his straightforward words.
The three of them burst into laughter. After a while, Lu Wansheng was the first to speak: "Your Highness has been in America for many years and doesn't know what America is like."
"Yes, Your Highness, I am really curious about America." Tang Maolin and Liu Ziyong also showed interest, hoping that Zhu Zhanji could give them a detailed explanation.
Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly in his heart. He had been busy for so long, didn't he just wait for their words?
But Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry. Although he wanted to tell the three of them how good America was, he couldn't say it outright.
No one is a fool. Saying it so bluntly will only make the three of them doubtful, and the effect will be poor. If you want to arouse their interest in America, you must let them imagine the goodness of America.
People will not easily trust others, but they will definitely believe in themselves very firmly. Even if others deliberately lead them to think, they will still believe it.
"America..." Zhu Zhanji shook his head casually and said lightly: "It's almost the same as the Ming Dynasty. There's nothing to say."
Liu Ziyong suddenly showed a look of disbelief and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, you are not trying to deal with us, are you? Everyone who comes back from America says that it is a treasure land, how come there is nothing good to say? ?」
"Yes, but whoever goes to America doesn't buy land and real estate after coming back?" Lu Wansheng agreed.
Since Han Du returned from America, this legendary place began to enter the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
The connection between the Ming Dynasty and the Americas has always been very weak, except for the establishment of a governor's palace on the edge of the Americas. Moreover, this Governor's Mansion is very small and can only barely protect itself. It is not like other Governor's Mansions to expand its territory.
Because the distance was too long, it would take two years to go back and forth, and no maritime merchants were willing to go to the Americas. Doing business requires efficiency. A round trip takes two years. Even if it is gold earned, the maritime merchants would have already made money from Nanyang in this time.
Despite this, the wealth of America is still spread among the people. After all, the Governor-General's Office in the Americas rotates every five years. These people
Back in the Ming Dynasty, people bought land and real estate one after another, and each time it caused a sensation. Of course, the people thought that America was full of gold.
Seeing the satisfied and expectant looks in the three people's eyes, Zhu Zhanji felt slightly reassured. He sat up straight and smiled and shook his head slightly: "I really didn't bother you. America is really nothing special in my eyes. It's not even as good as the Ming Dynasty." , such a prosperous scene as the capital cannot be seen in America."
"However, if you really want to know, then I can talk to you."
Lu Wansheng and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and they quickly raised their hands and said, "Your Highness, I have to say that we are really curious about America."
Just be curious!
Zhu Zhanji narrowed his eyes slightly. If youwe are not curious, how could I fool you?
He deliberately pondered for a moment and pretended to be trying to remember, "You said that people who have been to America have become rich, which is probably true."
Zhu Zhanji grinned and saw that the expressions of the three people moved slightly. I thought to myself, it seems that for them, money is still one of their desires.
This is good, there is no other new ones, gold and silver are enough!
Zhu Zhanji reached out and took out a crispy biscuit, and casually tore it off a few times and placed it on the stone table. He pointed at the remaining crispy biscuit and said, "America is probably like this. The side near the Ming Dynasty is relatively desolate, but it is rich in minerals. .Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, everything you want.”
"It is possible for those people you mentioned who came back from America to buy land and property one by one, because the former American Governor's Palace was nearby. As long as they can find a mineral, even if it is just a silver mine, as long as they work hard A little bit, just the money dug out can keep them fed and fed for ten lifetimes."
Zhu Zhanji looked at the three of them with a smile.
I wanted to shout loudly in my heart. Did you hear that there are mountains of gold and silver in America? If you want to make a fortune, why don’t you come quickly?
"Hiss, hiss..."
There were three heavy inhalations in succession, and all three of them widened their eyes.
Tang Maolin's family was in business. He was most sensitive to gold and silver, and it touched him the most.
"Your Highness, even if there is a silver mine, it will not be easy to mine it, right?"
Zhu Zhanji smiled and shook his head, "I don't know how the Ming Dynasty mined it, but I thought it was quite easy to mine gold and silver mines in America. The local barbarians dug some sand from the mountains and could easily find it in the river. Here comes the gold."
"So much gold?" Lu Wansheng was a little surprised.
It didn't surprise the three of them that gold could be found by just digging some sand. Even the Ming Dynasty had never heard of such a rich mine for thousands of years.
Zhu Zhanji nodded affirmatively, "After Xinming was established, we also found several rich mines. To tell you the truth, Xinming has obtained a lot of gold and silver from these rich mines over the years."
Zhu Zhanji did not give a clear number, but looked at the three of them indifferently.
But in fact, without him having to say it explicitly, Lu WanSheng and others were also shocked. After all, Zhu Zhanji was also the grandson of the new Ming emperor. To make him think it was really a lot, it must be an extremely exaggerated number.
"It's a pity that the Xinming Dynasty has not been peaceful in the past few years, and a lot of energy has been taken away by the barbarians, otherwise the gold and silver mined would have been even more..."
There were no friends left, and the three of them were all speechless. Originally, they thought that Xinming would definitely go all out to mine gold, but they didn't expect that he would only use a small part of his energy.
Seeing that the three of them had already trusted him, Zhu Zhanji pointed a few times and said, "After landing, go straight east and you will see thousands of miles of fertile wilderness."
"Ten, ten thousand miles of fertile land?" Liu Ziyong was a little confused. Even in history books, the only thing that could be described as thousands of miles of fertile land was the Land of Abundance.
And for thousands of years, there has never been a saying about thousands of miles of fertile wilderness. It’s not that there is no such word, it’s that there is no such place in the world.
"Yes, a truly fertile wilderness." Zhu Zhanji nodded with a smile. To be honest, he was shocked when he first saw it.
Who would have believed that there is such a treasure in this world if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?
"From here to here, the area is more than ten thousand miles, and it is all fertile soil with abundant rainfall. Moreover, there are rivers like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers running through it, and there are also five large lakes that nourish the land with a radius of thousands of miles..."
"I know, this is the Five Great Lakes. I once heard Mr. Han say it!" Tang Maolin exclaimed, his whole body trembling with excitement.
