"Auntie, why are you sleeping here?"
When Liu Deng turned around to leave, he suddenly saw that the eldest princess was extremely sleepy, sitting on the chair next to her, dozing off.
"You brat, you still know that I am your aunt? Just throw me here and ignore it, right?"
The eldest princess glared at him angrily.
"My nephew was so excited that he neglected my aunt! How about I personally take care of my aunt's food and drinks in the next few days?"
Liu Deng felt embarrassed for a while and hurriedly stepped forward to please him.
"You're a wise boy, let's see how you behave. If you dissatisfy this princess, I'll tear down your camp!"
The eldest princess stretched for a long time, then stood up and walked out first.
Liu Deng also followed with a smile on his face. The eldest princess was almost the same age as his mother. Losing face in front of the elders was nothing.
Liu Deng fully enjoyed the dividends brought by his young age.
The eldest princess did not continue to delve deeper. On the way back, she just kept asking Liu Deng's words.
"Since when did you become obsessed with shipbuilding? What are you doing building a fifty-foot-long ship?"
Liu Deng was secretly amused. It seemed that the eldest princess was very interested in shipbuilding.
This is a God-given opportunity!
Even though the eldest princess doesn’t have much spare money on hand right now, she can’t resist the fact that the eldest princess’s farms produce a lot of food!
Moreover, the eldest princess's connections within the empire are too wide.
For the entire Han Empire, the new ocean-going shipbuilding industry was too weak. With Liu Deng's strength alone, there was no way to support its safe growth.
Bringing the eldest princess in will be of great benefit to the vigorous development of this industry!
"Auntie, you don't know! My nephew got a strange book by chance. On the other side of this vast sea, there are actually several other vast continents!"
Liu Deng immediately started to cheat.
"A vast continent? How many pieces?"
The eldest princess was obviously taken in, her eyes widened, and the little sleepiness she felt was immediately thrown away.
"Yes, and there are more than one. From South Vietnam to the southwest, there is a continent in the middle of the sea. It is so vast that it is several times the size of the Han Dynasty. However, the indigenous people on it have a population of less than one million as of now!"
When Liu Deng said this, he could clearly see the eldest princess's eyes sparkling with light.
The vast uncultivated land is an irresistible temptation for any royal child!
"Where is the book you are reading?"
The eldest princess's voice immediately became serious.
"Auntie, please listen to me! Although there are abundant products there, if you go there by boat, it will take about three to four months from my big man! There are two more vast lands due east of my big man. Continent!"
Seeing that the eldest princess had already fallen into the trap, Liu Deng once again threw out a strong dose of medicine.
"And? How is this possible? Why? I've never heard of it!"
The eldest princess obviously felt a little unbelievable. Even with Liu Deng, a boy who had accumulated a lot of character as a guarantee, the news now made the eldest princess very unbelievable.
"Auntie, have you ever heard that when the First Emperor was old, he sent an alchemist to lead three thousand boys and girls across the ocean to seek the elixir of death in Yingzhou?"
Seeing that the eldest princess was already convinced, Liu Deng simply struck while the iron was hot.
"Of course I've heard of this. He seems to be called Xu Fu. Does this matter have anything to do with him?"
The eldest princess's voice became serious. After all, for so many years, nothing good had ever happened to anyone who had anything to do with the alchemist.
"Of course it's related. Xu Fu didn't actually find the legendary Yingzhou in the East China Sea, but they found the two continents I mentioned! Auntie, please look, this is what they got from the New World!"
Liu Deng said as he took out the rubber ship model from the hidden compartment of the carriage!
"What is this? It feels a bit like beef tendon or isinglass? But it smells like a strong sulfur smell!"
The eldest princess held it in her hand and played with it curiously for a moment, then looked at Liu Deng with a puzzled look. After all, not everyone recognizes rubber.
"My aunt has a keen eye. The name of this thing is rubber. It was originally the sap collected from a tree called the rubber tree. After they processed it in a special way, it finally turned into what it looks like now!"
Liu Deng's voice was very small, but the longer he sounded, the more the princess felt excited about spying on other people's secrets.
"They have come so far away and brought so little stuff back? And one more thing, how did this thing get into your hands? According to what you said, then this thing should be considered a priceless treasure. They are so innocent. Was it given to you?"
The eldest princess is indeed the eldest princess. With these two glances, she immediately discovered the logical error in Liu Deng's words.
Liu Deng didn't hide too much, and simply told the whole story about Xu Yin.
Of course, in the final word of this matter, the fictitious book must be framed on Xu Yin.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to destroy such a wonderful book!
After Liu Deng finished telling everything, the eldest princess's eyes were already flashing with murderous intent.
"This person named Xu deserves to die!"
The eldest princess looked out the window murderously. This was the first time Liu Deng saw the eldest princess like this, and he couldn't help but trembled all over.
"Don't be upset, aunt. The things in this book have not been completely confirmed so far. Moreover, the book uses a rather weird writing. Even my nephew can only understand it slightly. Even if they use When I got to the book, I couldn’t understand it for a while!”
Liu Deng didn't expect the eldest princess's reaction to be so big, so he quickly tried to persuade her.
"If you say that, then we still have time to recover this book as soon as possible. If what is recorded in this book is true, then this is a good opportunity given to me by God! I will not take what God has given me, but I will accept it. It’s your fault!”
As expected of the eldest princess, she had made a decision in such an instant.
"Auntie is right, so my nephew has been thinking hard these days to design this new type of ship, but he doesn't know how long it will take for this kind of ship to be available, and I'm afraid this ship will need to be smashed. Copper coins, at least one million coins..."
The atmosphere was almost complete, and Liu Deng immediately started his real purpose.
After all, any means that are not aimed at making money are all nonsense.
