Chapter Four Hundred and Thirteen: The Best in the World
Zhu Di looked at Hao Fenglou.
This guy is obviously much thinner than before. His face is a little bit more clear, he is handsome, and his eyes are still bright. Although his face is tired, his eyes are still sharp.
Zhu Di looked up at the huge ship, then looked at Hao Fenglou, and couldn't help but smile.
He came forward in person, helped Hao Fenglou up, and said, "Hao Fenglou, please get up quickly."
Hao Fenglou pursed his lips and said, "Fortunately, my son has not been humiliated and has built a ship. Although there are not many, there are only more than ten ships. However, many docks of coastal defense have been installed. In another year and a half, it will be no problem to form a fleet."
Zhu Di was ecstatic in his heart. After thinking about it for half a year, he felt extremely distressed. He had been angry and spent a lot of effort on this ship. Now, the big ship is so close that he saw this unparalleled giant ship with his own eyes. Zhu Di breathed a long sigh, and felt a great feeling of appeasement.
Looking at Hao Fenglou, who looked thin, Zhu Di naturally knew how difficult it was to build this giant ship that everyone thought was impossible to complete.
How could such a result be achieved without spending hard work, without spending hard work, without having all night, and without going around day and night?
When others can't say it, even Zhu Di is already discouraged.
When the big cannibal ship came into Zhu Di's eyes, Zhu Di only felt ashamed and angry.
Now, Zhu Di was not ashamed or discouraged, because someone did something that could not be accomplished. Zhu Di didn't know what method Hao Fenglou used, but he didn't have to think about it to know how diligent the giant ship was behind it and how much hardship it had to be done.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Good...good...good..."
He said three good words in a row, but did not reveal a single word. However, he directly pulled Hao Fenglou and pointed the civil and military officials and subjects in the direction of Longjiang with his hand, saying, "Hao Aiqing, look, I have brought them all and let them see your ship. I have not read you wrong. Come, come with me."
Hao Fenglou felt that this enthusiasm was a bit too much, but he saw the big cannibal ship. The big cannibal ship is indeed huge, but compared with the big treasure ship built by the sea defense, it is still a little bit worse.
Hao Fenglou immediately understood something, looked flattered, and walked out of the pier and dock with Zhu Di one after another.
Outside this pier, the people were shocked and cheered, while the ministers had complex expressions. As for the vassals of various countries, they were all amazed.
In fact, the size of the ship can indeed demonstrate national strength in a sense. If you can build it, but others can't. This alone is enough. To form a fleet, the first thing you need is a large amount of manpower, tens of thousands of craftsmen work in the dock, and nearly 100,000 civilians are responsible for cutting down ship materials for transportation. In order to maintain the operation of these people, they also need to provide food, drink, food, clothing, housing and transportation. These are not something that small countries can afford, let alone the gap in craft level. Sometimes, even if you are given enough money and manpower, you may not be able to create such a big ship.
So the envoys of Dashi came with their fleets, and all countries were pleased by them, and they were able to see the big ones from the small, and guessed the national strength of Dashi through the size of the fleet. Now, these envoys suddenly realized that Dashi was simply not worth mentioning compared to the Ming Dynasty. How could the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon? The Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom is indeed the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom.
When Zhu Di arrived, countless people bowed like waves and said, "Long live my emperor."
The civil and military officials knelt down, and the subjects and the envoys of the vassal state were truly impressed, and they were no longer indifferent and bowed down.
The only person who doesn't worship is still Hu Lu.
Zhu Di was more confident when facing Hu Lu, but he just kept his hands behind his back and didn't even look at him, saying, "There are all the good things, there is no need to be too polite."
He could see the yearning and admiration in the eyes of those envoys. This was a real state of looking up. When you looked up at the sky, you suddenly felt that the sky was high and the earth was vast, but you were insignificant.
What Zhu Di wanted was such a country to come to the court, not because Annan's previous lessons made these people feel fear, nor was he greedy for the rewards of the Ming Dynasty and was willing to get benefits. What he wanted was that these envoys of the foreign countries truly felt the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and this strength was not necessarily demonstrated through violence. Now, Zhu Di had gotten his wish.
Zhu Di was very satisfied. He had not been so happy for a long time, nor had he been as happy as he is today. He has never been so happy for so many years since he ascended the throne.

Hu Lu stood aside in a muffled manner, looking at him coldly, and a sneer was floating on the corner of his mouth. His only thought was ridiculous when he looked at the current scene.
Not bad... ridiculous...
Because... it is impossible for such a big ship. Hu Lu is proficient in boating skills, how could he not know? So when everyone fell to the ground, he did not bow down. When the Emperor Ming Dynasty showed satisfaction, he just smiled with regret and said slowly: "This ship... is fake."
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
Numerous eyes looked at Hu Lu, but Hu Lu didn't care about the other party's gaze. In fact, he was already in a difficult situation, but the businessman's nature is greed. In order to make huge profits, he no longer cared about so much.
Hu Lu continued to laugh and said, "This is not a sea boat at all. Such a ship cannot go into the sea at all!"
Many people took a deep breath, and Zhu Gaochi and Xie Jin looked at each other. They actually had doubts, where did Hao Fenglou's ship come from? Now, Hu Lu, who was proficient in ship skills, suddenly jumped out, giving Zhu Gaochi and Xie Jin some hope.
If... the ship is fake, not a sea boat, what does it mean? This is to deceive the emperor in full view of everyone.
Zhu Di seemed very calm, and he just glanced at Hao Fenglou behind him.
Hao Fenglou had not spoken yet, but was actually observing. When everyone bowed down and Hu Lu refused to kneel down, Hao Fenglou understood that this person dressed in big food was just here to ruin the situation.
Hao Fenglou stood up, smiled, looked at Hu Lu, and said slowly: "Oh? I wonder why Mr. Hu knew that this ship was not a sea boat?"
Hu Lu was slightly stunned for a moment. He could not have imagined that this guy he had never met could call out Mr. Hu. What does this mean?
Unexpectedly, Hao Fenglou shook his head and sighed again: "Oh, I almost forgot that Mr. Hu is a great cannibal, and his Chinese name is Hu Lu, but his name is... Nasser... But he follows the customs of the countryside, would I still call Mr. Hu?"
Hu Lu's body was shaken up, and he never expected that this young man would have so clearly found out about his background. He is Hao Fenglou? What exactly does this Hao Fenglou do?
Hu Lu seemed confused, but he still pretended to be calm and calm: "I have long admired Lord Hao's name..." Without hesitation, Hu Lu continued: "But some things should not be said by the minister, but if you don't say them, you are deceiving. In the big food, deceiving others will break your tongue, so I have to say them."
Hao Fenglou just smiled and said, "Mr. Hu, but it's okay."
Hu Lu said seriously: "You are not a sea boat at all!"
Hao Fenglou shook his head and said, "Mr. Hu is too arbitrary. It is obvious that it is a ship, but it can go into the sea, so why is it not a sea ship?"
Hu Lu sneered: "If it were a sea boat, it would never be so huge. You can bully others, but it is not easy to bully me. I just ask you, is your boat coming from Jiaozhi?"
Hao Fenglou said: "That's right."
Hu Lu said again: "Since your ship comes from Jiaozhi, it's okay, but I heard someone come to inquire and say that the prefecture along the way did not see the traces of your fleet. This means that you are not driving on the land, I wonder if I was wrong?"
Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "Mr. Hu is indeed a person who is proficient in HNA. You are right. We did not drive along the coast. Such a large ship, with many reefs near the sea, and are not familiar with the terrain of the sea area we pass, so we dare not take this risk."
Hu Lu smiled even colder and said, "So, are you walking above the ocean? Humph, Lord Hao, do you know what the crime is for your Ming Dynasty to deceive the king? You keep saying that you are walking above the ocean, but you don't know that such a big ship cannot travel in the sea at all. In the deep sea, the waves are huge. If one wave goes down, ordinary ships may be able to bear it. But your sea ship must be broken."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the reason?"
Hu Lu said seriously: "This is common sense, not an allusion. Anyone who has passed by a boat knows that the bigger the ship, the less reliable it is. You make the hull so wide. This is the way to die. The wooden hull can't bear such big waves at all. So what you say is that when you go to the deep sea, it's just nonsense. Once this ship goes into the sea, it may not be able to bear it even if you walk along the coast, let alone the deep sea? Everyone knows these things. Do you think this sea ship is built as big as possible? If so, I, Dashi, have already built the largest ship. Lord Hao, this is not a sea ship at all. It is probably a flower stand built by your Ming Dynasty. If it were to be a man who was dragged here, it was nothing more than collusion and wanted to suppress my Dashi fleet. It's just a pity that you know nothing about the sea ship, and it just made a joke."
