Zhu Yuanzhang is on the Yangtze River at the moment.
He was on a cruise ship. It looked like a cruise ship on the surface, but it was different on the inside.
This is a modified warship.
He and Shen Wansan made an appointment to meet on the Yangtze River.
Safety is the top priority.
Shen Wansan has been promoting the matter of connecting the world recently.
It can be said that great progress has been made.
These rely on King Ming's gold coins to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in many places.
This exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang's original imagination.
In fact, this is also very understandable.
In this era of war and chaos, it is easy to do business because there is a lot of demand, but the biggest difficulty is how to transport silver. This is a big problem.
The emergence of King Ming's gold notes suddenly hit the pain points of businessmen.
Coupled with the strong support of the big businessman Shen Wansan and many important businessmen, it is difficult to think about whether it will become popular.
"Report to Commander, Shen Dashan is here."
"please!"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the cabin. When he came out this time, he was dressed in casual clothes and looked like a member of the military.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was very particular about what he did.
No matter what he does, as long as he wants to do it, he can basically do it very well.
This is not a boast, but a fact.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang began to train the navy, it has really grown from scratch, from weak to strong.
However, the navy has not yet come into use.
Recently, when Zhu Yuanzhang conquered cities and territories, it was only the army that was in action.
Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements were very thorough.
The navy is now only responsible for protecting the safety of the waters around Jinling City.
At the same time, training is intensified. The navy's first target, or rather its only target, is Chen Youliang.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw clearly that if he wanted to conquer the world, he must capture Chen Youliang.
As Liu Bowen said, it was not to capture and kill him secretly, but to defeat Chen Youliang on the frontal battlefield.
Only in this way can Zhu Yuanzhang's navy succeed in one battle, and it can even be said that it can complete its success in one battle.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang found Shen Wansan in order to expand overseas trade.
Take a longer-term view and gain greater benefits.
"Commander, long time no see!"
"Shen Dashan, please come in!"
Now the two hit it off instantly.
For Shen Wansan, Zhu Yuanzhang is not only his business partner, but also his leader.
Shen Wansan had to admire Zhu Yuanzhang's amazing ideas.
In Shen Wansan's view, this world must belong to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Not to mention anything else, his ideas are beyond the imagination of others.
No matter how you praise Zhu Yuanzhang, it is okay.
If others had achieved Zhu Yuanzhang's level, they would have been in a state of arrogance, but Zhu Yuanzhang was very calm.
Without this, Shen Wansan felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might be too worried about the world, and there was no sense of ease and pride in his brows, but he was helpless.
"The commander is worried?"
"Those who know me well say that I am worried! Shen Dashan is truly my confidant!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also said something literate.
"I dare not take it! Can you tell me what worries the commander-in-chief? I, Shen Wansan, will definitely have a way to solve it, but I am willing to help the commander-in-chief, as long as the commander-in-chief follows his lead!"
Normally, Zhu Yuanzhang would have laughed when he heard Shen Wansan's disgusting words.
But this time Zhu Yuanzhang did not laugh.
In his mind, he was the one who solved the problem.
Now he is facing many problems. Although his strength is developing rapidly, he is also facing a bottleneck.
This is also true.
The battle between Dayuan and King Xiaoming is not over yet. Chen Youliang is much more powerful than him in conquering cities and territories.
Seeing him getting stronger day by day, Zhu Yuanzhang would be damned if he felt something in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the historical records. This period of time was a great test for Zhu Yuanzhang, a real test of life and death.
Before defeating Chen Youliang, this period of time was the most difficult.
Why was Zhu Yuanzhang so careful? Because if you don't pay attention, everything will disappear.
When a person gets something, you may not feel very happy, but once you lose it, you will feel very heartbroken.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang often thinks about these bad things. Once they happen, how should he face them?
"Shen Dashan is very polite. In fact, Yuan Zhang came here this time to discuss another matter with Mr. Yuan Zhang. Last time, he connected the world, and now it seems to be developing well. This time, Yuan Zhang wants to work with Mr. to vigorously develop overseas trade. Mr. Wang thinks how?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was straight to the point.
We are all so familiar, there is no need to beat around the bush, there is no need.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Shen Wansan thought for a moment.
"Commander, there are strong winds and waves on the sea. If you are not careful, the boat capsizes and people die. Commander, do you think overseas trade is easy?"
Perhaps for Shen Wansan, although overseas trade brought him huge wealth, the huge losses also left Shen Wansan with lingering fears.
It turned out that when Shen Wansan and Zhu Yuanzhang were not familiar with each other, they would not talk about these difficulties. Now they cooperate very happily, and they have put all the difficulties they face in front of them.
"Didn't I give Shen Dashan some solutions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took out a nautical chart, which he drew based on his memory, as well as areas where wind and waves often occur, as well as various precautions.
What's more important is the navigation route map, which is not drawn casually.
Zhu Yuanzhang consulted a lot of information and found the memories of many lucky people who often ran boats on the sea, and then asked someone for precise coordinates.
Such a chart is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
No!
It can’t be bought with ten thousand gold!
Zhu Yuanzhang handed this navigation chart to Shen Wansan.
A connoisseur will know if it is there as soon as he reaches out his hand.
Shen Wansan has been engaged in overseas trade for many years and has gained a lot of experience and lessons. There are some places that he really does not dare to go to anymore because they are too dangerous.
However, Shen Wansan did not have such a detailed chart. It was not that he did not want to draw it, but that he could not draw it because he had no reference.
As soon as he got Zhu Yuanzhang's navigation route, he was immediately attracted to him.
There were several places where he often capsized, and he still remembered them clearly. They were clearly marked on Zhu Yuanzhang's navigation chart.
For such a picture, Shen Wansan really couldn't take his eyes off it.
There were many places far away that he had never been to, but they were clearly marked on this map.
The local products and races were all labeled. Shen Wansan saw that far away, Xia Island, the American Continent, and the African Continent were labeled.
These novel places aroused Shen Wansan's infinite interest.
"The commander is so awesome. Has he ever been to such a far away place?"
"I haven't been there, someone has been there."
"Who?"
"Columbus!"
"What does he do?"
"business man!"
