Zhu Xuan left Jinshen Hall and returned to his Zhanshi Mansion.
After looking through the memorials about Tubo, according to the latest news, Na Wa is still on his way to the Ming Dynasty, and Lan Yu and the others continue to be stationed in Lintao.
Without his order, Lan Yu did not dare to move, and had no intention of letting them retreat for the time being.
As for Ji Wenjing, he has already arrived in Lintao and is preparing to open a horse market. When Nawa comes back, the horse market will be launched smoothly.
I believe Harima will definitely agree, even if he wants to disagree, after all, the war indemnity requires them to cut their flesh, and they have to trade with the Ming Dynasty to get some blood back.
There are no other important things for the time being.
"Is Zheng He back?"
Zhu Xuan thought that it seemed like it had been a long time since he had met this Ming navigator.
Hou Xian said: "Your Highness, you are back."
Zhu Xuan said: "Pass him in."
After waiting for a long time, Zheng He walked into Zhan Shifu, bowed in front of Zhu Xuan and said, "Meet His Highness the Emperor's Grandson."
"No gift!"
Zhu Xuan asked: "How is your recent trip to sea going?"
For so many years, Zheng He had been sailing outside without even having a chance to follow Zhu Xuan. Exploring overseas resources, discovering new continents, and even developing the ocean for the Ming Dynasty were all very important strategies.
Zheng He bowed and said: "Back to Your Highness, the situation overseas is going well! The slaves are already developing the Americas in accordance with Your Highness's request, and the natives there are gradually obeying the arrangements of our Ming Dynasty. The situation in Europe is also progressing quite smoothly. The whole of Europe is flooded with Ming Dynasty products, and Adelaide and Turner are very cooperative..."
Adelaide and others will not consider anything else.
As long as they see benefits, that's enough for them.
Daming can bring a lot of benefits and make them full.
They didn't care at all about Ming's dumping of goods in Europe.
After all, the more they dump, the more benefits they get.
Zhu Xuan nodded with satisfaction after listening to Zheng He's report.
We have done a good job in developing overseas, dumping goods and plundering raw materials. The dumping has begun, and the next step is to figure out how to plunder.
It has also done quite well in its development in the Americas, which can be regarded as opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty.
"In addition, I am planning to go to another place in the spring next year."
Zheng He continued: "According to the mark on His Highness's map, there is a place called Australia, which is rich in coal and iron ore resources. I am ready to conquer that place and start mining."
"This is good!"
Zhu Xuan first agreed.
That place is the penal colony for criminals.
Now those Western navigators have not been able to discover this place.
The Ming Dynasty occupied it first, and it will become one of the important sources of minerals for the development of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
"Your vision is long-term."
"I'm going to leave all the overseas matters to you."
"I trust you."
Zhu Xuan said.
Zheng He burst into tears and said, "Thank you for your highness's trust. I will serve your highness until my death."
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Take good care of everything on the sea. The future is the world of the sea."
Zheng He knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I accept your order."
After learning about overseas affairs, Zhu Xuan asked Zheng He to go down.
Regarding the operating conditions of various trading ports, Jinyiwei will send back corresponding information every month.
Nowadays, foreign trade is full of vitality and there are no other problems for the time being.
Cen Jing and the others did a great job.
The trading port has not found any big or huge corruption yet. It is developing smoothly and normally. This is enough.
However, in the trading port, the number of overseas merchants coming every day is huge. The prosperous Ming Dynasty has long become the economic and financial center of the world.
There are basically no external problems at present. Zhu Xuan put this matter aside for the time being and went back to Kunning Palace to see Mu Yuanjun, then hugged that brat Wengui, and then sent Xu Miaojin and the others together to Kunning Palace. Inside, a complete meal was eaten.
With their current identities and status, they have less and less time to hang out together.
I still miss the old days.
the next day.
Zhu Xuan left the palace and came to the manor, where he stayed with Luo Zhuma for a long time to cultivate a good relationship.
Nawa hasn't been able to come back yet. It's freezing cold and it's not easy to travel. Even if there are railways and tracks, it's very troublesome to come back.
Time passed quickly, and a few days passed.
The end of the year has officially entered.
The hypocritical envoy Guo Qing was driven away by Lao Zhu and asked to walk back to Helin in the ice and snow. As for the train, he was not qualified to take it.
At this time, the vassal kings came back again.
Coming back once a year is very frequent, but Lao Zhu is happy, so it is not a problem. What's more, when the vassal king comes back, he does not bring troops, only his family members, and he comes back lightly, without causing extravagance and waste.
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer asked Zhu Xuan to pick up the vassal king, and asked them to go directly into the city when they came back. Anyone who dared not go into the city and was still struggling outside would not have to come back in the future.
When all his sons and the emperor's grandchildren came back, Zhu Yuanzhang passed them to the palace together.
Seeing them in the dust, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little distressed, but he was also a little happy.
Old people just like to see their children and grandchildren in the house, and everyone in the family together, especially during the New Year.
"Just come back."
"Come here, ask the people in the imperial dining room to bring some hot soup to keep us bastards warm."
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped admonishing them.
First he was admonished, and then he was playing the family card. This method was used for two consecutive years. There was no need to continue in the third year.
Just let them come back and have a normal party.
If you mess around so much, it will easily backfire, which will appear very unfriendly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "I don't know, we can still do it, it depends on how old you are."
Zhu Xuan whispered: "Grandpa Huang is here again."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "We are over eighty, so it is normal to feel emotional."
Lao Zhu, who was over eighty years old, was considered to have lived a long time among ancient emperors.
However, for Zhu Xuan who has traveled through time, he is not too old in his eighties. With Liu Chun taking care of him, it may be possible to live for another twenty years.
Zhu Xuan is not in a hurry, he must be the emperor.
"Father."
Zhu Zhi said: "At over eighty years old, my father is still in his prime."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed at first, then shook his head and said: "What a fool in the prime of life! We are almost an old man, so you don't need to say so much. If you deliberately flatter me, drink the hot soup, go back by yourself, and have a good rest!"
"yes!"
they said in unison.
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply relieved to hear the voices of his children and grandchildren.
This life, living here, is completely enough.
Of course, he felt even more satisfied that those bastards could live in peace. Judging from the current situation, it was not easy to make them live in peace.
Hot soup was served quickly.
After the vassal princes finished drinking, they left and went back to their respective palaces in Jinling to rest.
Zhu Xuan took Zhu Gaochi away and went to the East Palace, where they met alone.
