Chapter 404: The Hero

At the smooth water of Longjiang Port.

A man in plain clothes got out of the car. He carried his hands on his back and stared at the big ship on the port motionless.

The body, like an iron tower, was a little loose, and the pair of tiger eyes flashed through a few dark colors.

Because there are more and more people here, some people who saw the opportunity set up many tea stalls nearby. At this moment, the tea stalls are very lively.

The Wang An, wearing a ridiculous round neck shirt, carefully approached the majestic body and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, it's windy here, go and have tea."

Zhu Di did not move. There were many plainclothes warriors around him, but the shallow cloth clothes could not hide their aura. All the crowds obediently walked around the road. Because there were indeed some big figures occasionally appearing here, everyone knew this and naturally did not dare to approach them easily.

Zhu Di was speechless, still raising his eyes, looking at the big ships, and hearing someone in the distance couldn't help screaming: "So big...what is this big cannibal coming from..."

"During the Yuan Dynasty, we also had such a big ship..."

Dayuan...

Zhu Di's body was revived.

He suddenly realized something, the human heart... was really terrible. The cruelty of the Yuan Dynasty was vivid in my mind. It was involved in history books. Even if there were no history books and miscellaneous notes, the slaughter that was passed down from word to word was so terrible. But... it took so long before it seemed that people had forgotten it, and they had forgotten it all.

Zhu Di remembered some envoys who wrote letters again, and they always used Yuan as a reference. Some Yuan people were like this, but today they were like this. It seemed that the Yuan Dynasty suddenly became a model and a proposition.

The human heart... is really terrible.

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he sighed dejectedly. In fact... they are just using this to satirize the present. Isn't it common sense to use the past to describe the present? Even in the past, the butcher's knife hung high on the neck of their ancestors. Even at that time, people were divided into four levels and you wanted to be a slave but could not get it, but people would always forget it. This is the heart of the people.

After breathing out a long breath of turbid air, Zhu Di's face became normal. He suddenly glanced at Wang An and said, "What did you say just now?"

Wang An said: "I said that it is very windy here, Your Majesty should find a place to sit, don't ruin your body."

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said, "Are I already so weak? Yes, I can't help but be weak, and the country of Wancheng is also weak. I don't know how long it will take for the whole country to waste..."

Wang An suddenly came up and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhu Di said: "You said that."

Wang Andao: "Sometimes ago, many vassal envoys also came to see each other. These people praised the great cannibals, and the great cannibals... cough cough..."

Zhu Di's eyes became more alert and said, "Why didn't the Jinyiwei report?"

Wang An immediately said, "This...maybe I think it's insignificant."

Zhu Di sneered: "Insignificant? It's ridiculous. If this is insignificant, what is there? All nations come to pay tribute and make no mistakes. What is insignificant?"

Zhu Di's temper was obviously not very good. He turned around and did not look at the big ship again, and said, "Return to the palace, a year later, I will see my Ming fleet here. No matter what method or means, I will see the unrivaled ships of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Di got into the car and couldn't calm down for a long time, and he seemed a little lonely.

In the cabinet, it has been very calm in recent days. After all, this place is not an ordinary yamen and does not talk too much. Everyone does not mention the matter of Longjiang. The scholars will write their own memorials day and night.

Xie Jin naturally did not make any surprises recently. After writing a document every day, he went to the side room to have tea. On the other side, Jin Youzi, Hu Yan and others heard the news and occasionally came to accompany him.

The scholars are not as good as those outside when they eat tea. Because they are not allowed to carry things when entering the palace, they have to invite the palace people to bring tea. After all, the imperial tea will not be rewarded from time to time, and it is impossible to find the emperor to ask for it. Therefore, some tea will be prepared in the palace, but the tea is not good after all, making it difficult for people to swallow. So they put down chrysanthemums and other things in the tea to cover up the taste of this bad tea.

The palace seemed a little dim today. After Xie Jin drafted the ticket, he sat here steadily. Jin Youzi also came. The two of them had tea for a while. Jin Youzi finally couldn't help it and said, "Don't Xie Gong heard the rumors?"

Xie Jin sat leisurely without opening his eyes, and his lips moved slightly: "I wonder what the rumor is?"

Jin Youzi smiled and said, "It is reported that Your Majesty has been kept in the door and has locked himself in the warm pavilion all day long. He neither summoned the ministers nor read the memorials."

Xie Jin stroked his beard: "Oh? Is that right?"

Jin Youzi couldn't help laughing. Of course, he knew that Xie Jin's news was more informative than himself. How could he not know about this? It was just that Duke Jie pretended not to know. It was just that this kind of thing was tacit, and he couldn't explain it. He continued, "I also heard that Your Majesty stayed in the door and even if the prince and the King of Han wanted to see him, they would block it back. There were quite complaints in the harem."

There is only one harem here, that is Empress Xu. Obviously, Empress Xu was a little anxious, so she looked around to ask why His Majesty stayed in the warm house all day long.

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Oh, Your Majesty has been doing everything he wants to take a break."

Jin Youzi smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Rumors came out from some places, saying that His Majesty had been in a miscarriage a few days ago and went to Longjiang."

Xie Jin remained indifferent and still said lightly: "Oh? This is a bit interesting. Does Your Majesty also watch the boat?"

Jin Youzi felt a little uncomfortable when he was selling this at the end. He couldn't help but say, "Actually, Your Majesty not only saw the ship, but also seemed to be furious. This is the news from the inner court. Duke Jie thought about it. Duke Jie and I saw the ship with their own eyes. It is really hard to describe. But now, not only can I build a ship in the Ming Dynasty, but I can't even lose the shipyard. Your Majesty is a majestic lord, crossing the sky, magnificent strategy, covering the world, covering the world, which is a real dragon. Your Majesty is so ambitious, but... Alas... Your Majesty is anxious."

Xie Jin smiled again and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is not an ordinary emperor, you can't guess based on common sense. You are right, but what's the solution? This ship cannot be built. This year, the imperial court's treasury silver is almost squandered. It would be good if there is no deficit this year. How can you allocate additional money and grain? Without money and grain, you can't rebuild the shipyard. Even if the shipyard is rebuilt, the ship's data will have to be repurchased. Not only that, but how can it be so easy to clear the other joints? So I see, it's not possible to build a ship in five years. Five years... It's too long. What Your Majesty is worried about is this matter, but what is the solution? It's hard to achieve both."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin paused for a moment and continued, "But... Didn't you hear that Hao Fenglou is also building ships? Hao Fenglou is a Ganchen. Since he is building ships in Jiaozhi, he may be able to solve the urgent needs of the court."

Jin Youzi's lips showed disdain, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Why did Mr. Jie say this? The shipbuilding that Hao Fenglou said was nothing more than a cover. He wanted to make the merits and minimize the responsibility for burning the shipyard. After a year and a half, when everyone forgot about his shipbuilding, he would use some broken ships to perfunctory things. Otherwise, would he be able to do the shipyard so easily at that time? But... since he had already boasted about Haikou, and now, the court has difficulties, so some imperial envoys must have brought up the old things again. Mr. Jie is waiting and seeing, the excitement is still behind."

Xie Jin suddenly said: "What are the vassal envoys from various countries on the Honglu Temple?"

"Ah..." Jin Youzi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand for a moment. He was talking about Hao Fenglou's shipbuilding. Why did this change and the subject ended up on the vassal envoy?

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Look at these vassal envoys." After that, he slowly picked up the teacup, drank a sip, smacked his lips, and stood up and said, "There is still official business, so I'll say goodbye first."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Here in Honglu Temple, Liang Kuan, the Dali Temple Minister, was not easy.

With so many envoys coming at once, no omission is just a joke.

Moreover, the customs of envoys from different countries are different. There are even some vassal states that God knows where they come from. If you don’t understand their customs and customs, it will be a bit difficult to entertain.

Just like this big zombie, they didn't eat pork. Not only that, because there was lard in the food, they were furious and got angry for a long time. Liang Kuan was simply scolding the people below, and asked the kitchen to be careful to entertain and open the stove.

Speaking of which, the big cannibal is really lively now. Many people are surrounding them and dealing with each other, even Liang Kuan is a little jealous. You are here to hug the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty, so why are they so passionate about this big cannibal?

In fact, most of these vassal envoys were changing their powers. When they saw the big ship, they all secretly rumored that the big food must be less powerful than the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they all wanted to curry favor with each other. On the one hand, they were inquiring about some news and increasing their knowledge. On the other hand, they also meant to be intimate.
