Almost as soon as he left the prince's palace, the representatives of the Venetian mission that came to Jerusalem with Francesco Conaro immediately questioned.

"Francisco Conaro, what do you want to do? Do you want to use Venice to please the Chinese?"

"Pleasing to the Chinese? If you just please the Chinese, Venice can become their agent in the Mediterranean. Then I am willing to kneel before the Chinese and sing hymns for them, but God can testify that since the Genoese welcomed the Chinese as their king, Venice must make the same choice, otherwise the whole of Venice will be eliminated!"

Faced with the doubts of his fellow countrymen, Francesco Conaro said to them so confidently.

"Venice without trade, even if it retains the republic, it is nothing but a sign of its appearance. The Genoese made their choices, and if we want to survive and not be replaced by the Genoese, we must make our choices! If we do not welcome the Chinese as our kings, then there will be no future in Venice!"

Francesco Conaro responded directly.

"I know that each of you opposes my decision. I will be responsible for my decision. I will convince everyone in the Grand Parliament. But now, believe me, friends, we must seize this opportunity. That is, now, we must rush back to Venice and let the Grand Parliament make a decision before His Highness repents! Friends, Venice now has no choice, either only Venice, and is gradually declining, or become a Venetian in China and move towards prosperity again!"

What can Venice get in this gambling?

More than just a simple "trade agency license", Francesco Conaro, the former Venetian governor, saw the future of Venice from the choice made by the Genoese.

Either destroy or prosper.

He is a Venetian and must consider the future of Venice!

Of course, it is precisely because he is a Venetian that he knows that what kind of greeting he will be when he returns to Venice must be angry!

But even so, he had to convince the Grand Parliament.

"Okay, friends, whether you want to kill me or throw me into the sea, at least wait for us to return to Venice and let the Grand Parliament decide all this..."

Almost as Francesco Conaro stepped forward to Venice without hesitation and persuaded the Grand Parliament to accept his advice, it would have become extremely peaceful in the once hustle and bustle palace.

Looking at the thoughtful Highness, Zhu Zhiyu said.

"Your Highness, if you are not a clan, your heart will be different. Whether it is the Genoese or the Venetian, the reason why I am willing to surrender to my Ming Dynasty and even be willing to regard the princes of the Ming Dynasty as their king is ultimately for the word "benefit". It is just a small place. Why should I be good friends with the princes in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Zhiyu said it very directly and directly. The princes of the Ming Dynasty were very precious. As the king of small foreign countries, would those small countries deserve the identity of princes?

Seeing Zhu Zhiyu who had specially summoned the Prince's East Palace, Zhu Heyu said with a smile.

"Chuyu, Gu, I don't know that the Venetians and Genoese are all masters who "have milk and are mothers". They surrendered to our Ming Dynasty so "actively" and regarded my Ming prince as their king. Is it really surrender? No, they just want to obtain commercial benefits."

In fact, Zhu Heyu's heart was like a mirror, how could he not understand?

"Whether the Venetians or Genoeses are thinking? What they want is to be agents in the future, underwriting goods from the Ming Dynasty and even the entire East, at least in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and even they want to get more commercial returns. For this reason, they even dared to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and worship our prince as kings, but he did not understand one thing at all. For the Ming Dynasty, we do not mind them as agents of Ming Dynasty goods, nor do they mind making the difference as middlemen. After all, they all It is a traditional merchant country. Their trade networks in the Mediterranean and many regions of Europe were all needed by the Ming Dynasty. Just like when we needed the Dutch to represent trade in Europe, to put it bluntly, it is with them to sell our goods. Our merchants cannot go deep into every country, every city, every port in Europe. This means that if our goods want to enter all parts of Europe, we must rely on local European merchants. In the past, they were Dutch and English, but England..."

Shaking his head, Zhu Heyu said.

"Through trade in England, it can make extremely rich profits, which will prompt them to become stronger in the future. This is obviously not in our interests. We do not need a strong England, even if it is our vassal state, or even one day in the future, the nobles of England will oust their kings and welcome my brother or son as their king. A powerful England is also in our interests, or in other words, not in China's interests!"

What are the interests of China?

The words of His Highness the Crown Prince made Zhu Zhiyu confused.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"Huaxia is China, Europe is Europe!"

After saying this, Zhu Heyu looked at the oil painting on the wall. It was a gift from the King of France to his father, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

"The father's emperor enfeoffed the princes in the four seas and wildernesses, not for the future of a family, but for the expansion of civilization. The princes spread the Chinese civilization in the four seas and wildernesses, pacifying the barbarians and returning to Xia, and returning to China in the four seas and wildernesses, but the problem is..."

After a pause, Zhu Heyu asked back.

"Chuyu, do you think Europeans can become Chinese?"

"this……"

Shaking his head, Zhu Zhiyu replied.

"European civilization is a self-organized, and has continued since ancient times to the present. It is completely different from the Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization may be able to influence them, but it is absolutely impossible to make them like the barbarians in the South China Sea and return to China."

"That's it, what will the world in the future look like?"

When he walked to the globe and turned the globe, Zhu Heyu smiled.

"To be honest, I don't know what the world will look like in the future, but there will be at least three civilized worlds, one is China, that is, the Ming Dynasty's land, and the other is Zhuxia, which is the Chinese princes who are mainly immigrants of the Ming people and their descendants. Another one is Zhuqiu. Among them are vassal states that regard the Ming Dynasty as the sect leader, and there are independent countries. Whether these vassal states or countries, they may be influenced by China, but they will never become members of China. In the future, there will inevitably be potential enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, our policy to Europe is to avoid being the dominant one! Therefore, thus ensuring that the world operates according to our will!"

Let the world operate according to our will. This is the rules of the game established by China in the East for thousands of years. Now it is just to take this rules of the game to Europe, but everything must start. Venice and Genoa are the ones. When Europeans adapt to all this, the world will inevitably operate with the will of China. Some things are like this. At the beginning, no one believed it, but as he said it, it came true.

After explaining this view, Zhu Heyu said again.

"Whether Venice or Genoa, they are small countries with relatively weak power. They cannot have any impact on our world!"

"More importantly, we must establish a rule that perhaps these European countries can never become part of China, but we can guarantee that we can use China to influence and change them, for example, their kings are ours, or their nobles all have our bloodline. And if we are proud of this, over time, we can at least guarantee that perhaps they are not part of China, but at least we can guarantee that they will follow China's will, follow China's culture, and finally..."

Suddenly he stopped talking because he didn't know what those people would look like at that time, but at least he could guarantee that all this was in line with China's interests!
