The reason is not simple... Han Du muttered in his heart.
Then he replied with a smile on his face: "It's easy to guess. You occupy the middle section. Since there is no trace of them, they are either in the north or the south."
That makes sense...why didn't I think of that? Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up.
"Since they will only hide in these two places, it's easy for us to speculate."
Han Du glanced at the expression on Zhu Zhanji opposite him, "The summers in the north are too short and the winters are too cold, so they are not suitable for growing crops. As we said just now, even if they escape to America, they will give top priority to growing crops. It’s instinctive.”
Zhu Zhanji gave a fake smile and nodded in agreement.
"The south has a hot climate and abundant rainfall, which is most suitable for growing crops. If I were them, I would definitely choose to settle here. After all, whether they want to settle here or continue their voyage, food comes first."
Without food, it is difficult to move forward.
Zhu Zhanji looked a little unhappy, "Where are they hiding and what do they want to do?"
Finally starting to worry... Han Du glanced at Zhu Zhanji leisurely.
Isn't it just that what I said just now is to make Zhu Zhanji feel a sense of crisis?
If Han Du asks him to help, even if Zhu Zhanji agrees, there will definitely be other conditions.
Han Du didn't want to pay anything, he just wanted free sex, so he tried to fool him.
Now it seems that the effect is good!
"Who knows..."
Zhu Zhanji's eyelids twitched and he chuckled, "Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong?" Han Du's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.
Zhu Zhanji looked into Han Du's eyes and asked meaningfully: "It was the father-in-law who chased them to America, not us Xinming. Even if they want revenge, they can't find us." .Do you want to borrow Xinming’s sword to kill them?"
Zhu Zhanji didn't mind making knives, but since he was a thug, he had to pay the price of a thug. Han Du wanted him to do something so empty-handedly, but it wasn't so cheap.
"You're wrong!" Han Du didn't panic at all after being pointed out. "Although they may hate me, they hate you, the emperor, even more."
You kid thinks this matter has nothing to do with you and wants to sit aside and watch the show? Go ahead and have your spring and autumn dreams.
I did chase them to the ground with nowhere to go, but wasn't it your surname Zhu who ordered the pursuit of them?
"If those people knew that your grandpa was in America, they would be more than happy to cause you some trouble..."
Zhu Zhanji was numb and gritted his teeth secretly, not even daring to show it.
Seeing that Han Du hadn't spoken for more than ten breaths after teasing him, Zhu Zhanji cleared his throat and said, "Even if they come to trouble us, Xinming is not afraid. There are only a few of them. If they dare to come to us for trouble, they are just eggs." Hitting a rock. Aren't you worried that those people will come back?"
Worry, why aren't you worried... If you weren't worried, why would you need to use your hands to kill them?
However, the biggest taboo in negotiations between the two parties is that they cannot be taken advantage of, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage.
"Then I'm not afraid!" Han Du said calmly, "I'm not going anywhere in the capital. Even if they return to the Ming Dynasty, they can't do anything to me! But you should be careful. Although they are no match for you in a head-on confrontation, these people He is best at hiding and drawing cold knives, so don’t be careless and suffer the consequences! Hahaha..."
Zhu Zhanji's face suddenly froze, and after a few seconds of silence, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir, for reminding me..."
Zhu Zhanji felt that Han Du was right. These people might not be able to do anything against Daming now. After all, they are tens of thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to come back.
But Xin Ming is different. Not only are they close to each other, they are also in the same vein as Da Ming. .
If they had the idea of not being able to retaliate against Ming Dynasty, they would go to Xin Ming to get some profit back first, which would be really possible.
May be plotting against Xinming secretly.
Zhu Zhanji couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while. While pouring tea for Han Du, he asked with a smile: "From what I heard, it's possible that they didn't stay in America and continued to go east?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Han Du immediately understood that he was still holding on to some luck, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, and the possibility is not small. But as I said just now, even if they go east, they will most likely return to America in the end. of."
"Oh? Why is that?"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, as if he wanted to explore.
Han Du considered it and said: "Because the Americas continue to go east, there is just a vast ocean. And even if they cross the ocean, they will encounter Western countries, even Byzantium and the Ottoman Empire. Do you think they dare to continue eastward? "
How dare you... If those people really reach the Ottoman Empire, or even the territory of the Arabs. When they find out that Ming people are actually active in those places, they will probably turn around and leave immediately...
Those people may not have the complete map of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Zhanji has seen it.
Zhu Zhanji was very disappointed and lost his last bit of luck. Now it seems that there is a great possibility that those people are hiding in America.
Zhu Zhanji was silent for two seconds: "My father-in-law should know these people best. I wonder if you have any suggestions for me?"
Han Du nodded lightly: "The reason why they were able to escape in the first place was entirely because they relied on strong ships to cross the vast ocean. With this experience, they will become more dependent on ships. And their shipbuilding skills are not at all There is no need for the imperial court to be weak, so I guess that no matter where they go, they will rely on ships and first observe the dangers in the surrounding environment before slowly going ashore."
"So, if you want to find them, it's best to start at sea."
"Looking for it from the sea?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and smiled bitterly: "Young master, I don't know. In recent years, Xinming has been busy fighting for land with the indigenous people, and it really can't care about the sea... ..”
What can't be taken care of... It's just what Zhu Zhanji tried his best to cover up. In fact, Xinming has not built a warship at all in these years. The ship he took back this time was already owned by Xinming, and they were all the same ships when he went to America.
Han Du guessed Zhu Zhanji's embarrassment, but did not point him out. Instead, he smiled, uncovered this sensitive area, and thought about him seriously: "You are not lacking in craftsmen and skills, and there are many towering trees in America. If you want to build a ship, you can use local materials, which is very convenient. If you really want to build a ship, If so, enough warships should be built soon.”
Originally, Zhu Zhanji wanted to cry for poverty, and then opened his mouth to search for some ships from Han Du. Now that I have listened to Han Du's suggestion, I think it is good.
Although rebuilding a ship is troublesome, there are many benefits. The first is that the shipyard can be placed directly on the east coast, and the ship can be used directly as soon as it comes into the water. If you drive the boat back from Daming, you still need to make a large circle to the south to reach the other side. With this time, maybe it would be enough to rebuild the ship.
Secondly, you can also build your own ships and solve your dependence on the Ming Dynasty ships. It is not as good as having your father and mother to have it yourself. Relying on others is always unreliable.
