    This has been for a long time with the days of the Ninth Five -Year Plan.

    The huge wealth brought back by the fleet today made Emperor Hongzhi know that there was such a huge wealth outside the Ming Dynasty, and there was such a rich land in the world.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s heart is warm.

    Everyone has selfish desires.

    "For example, Li Dongyang and Wang Ao, they thought about Wen Zhenggong; Zhang Mao thought about military merit.  What Fang Jifan was thinking about was to lie down comfortably, and to be able to repair some historical regrets for the country and the people; what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about was his children and grandchildren.

    I am afraid that my descendants will be dishonest.

    Once the descendants are not small, they can't keep the people of the world. Others can still be the courtiers of the new dynasty without bones, but their own children and grandchildren, they want to send a fence, it is not possible.

    only¡­¡­

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "Golden Continent is too far away. It is really rare that such a unique place is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty."

    Xu Jing pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think so."

    "Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xu Jing.

    Xu Jingdao: "In the whole world, is it the king's ministers? Is it the shore of the land? Is it the king's land? How can the fertile land seen by the Ming Dynasty be left alone on the grounds that it is far away? If so, in the eyes of the Zhou people in the pre-Qin period,  Every state in the world is not full of thorns and barbarians, but the Emperor of Zhou still divided the four corners of the country and ordered the concubines to overcome the thorns and open up the country. This is the great cause of today's world. Your Majesty that Jingchu, Wu Yue,  Liaodong, Hexi, and even Shandong in the eyes of the Zhou people at that time were all covered with Di Yi. Most of the land was not developed. How much food could be grown from that barbaric land? How much food could the Zhou people rely on?  With the fertile soil of Wang Ji, the emperor of Zhou, when the Shang Dynasty is destroyed, we can support ourselves and enable them to live peacefully."

    "Butwhy did the Emperor of Zhou enfeoff the concubines and order countless people to go to the most wild and remote places?"

    "Everyone knows that it is far away, and everyone knows that it is full of dangers, and even the land has not been cultivated. Becauseif the Zhou Dynasty did not do this, and the concubines did not occupy those lands, then the Dongyi people would occupy them.  Zhu Ji ignores these barbaric lands. These lands will nourish the Southern Barbarians. If not, the Shanrong people will rise from there. They will continue to grow. Eventually, they will cultivate grain fields, raise livestock, feed a large population, and recruit  Countless soldiers, they can use bronze from the mountains as spears, use livestock to drive, and use animal skins as armor. Sooner or later, when the time is right, they will destroy the concubines, cut off their ancestral temples, burn and ban the Zhou Dynasty.  The inheritance of etiquette.¡±

    Xu Jing stared at Emperor Hongzhi: "That Golden Continent is enough to build a country more powerful than the Ming Dynasty there in time. With the help of the countless copper, iron, gold and silver, and fertile land, they can one day,  Countless ships will also be built, and one hundred, three hundred, or even five hundred years later, they will also send a huge fleet to patrol the East China Sea. At that time, what will Ming do?"

    "Be prepared for a rainy day. Don't allow others to sleep soundly under the bed. Our ancestors have taught us countless lessons. Today, if your Majesty just looks at the ocean and sighs, sighing that the Golden Continent is far away, I will not take it seriously and will not allow him to come and go, even if it is just outside the East China Sea.  The vassal country is also far away from the Ming Dynasty. But if your Majesty has the heart to encompass the whole world, even if it is the end of the world, in my opinion, it is not far away."

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and suddenly he said: "The Xu Qing family means"

    Xu Jingdao: "What I know is that there is the Ottoman Kingdom in the west, which covets Kunlun Continent and regards it as a forbidden land; and there is the Franchi Kingdom. Their ships are extremely fast and can travel hundreds of miles a day. Their ships, etiquette, etc.  , are not under my Ming Dynasty, they have also regarded the Golden Continent as something in their pocket. The Ming Dynasty cannot sit back and ignore it. Otherwise, once they swallow up, these countless gold and silver, countless treasures, and thousands of miles of fertile land  , Daming had no choice but to look back and sigh. Because of this, Jianchang Bocai and his people stayed in Huangjin Continent. In Kunlun Continent, I also appointed a team of people to set up a camp there. Daming had to go to sea again and again.  The scale must be greater than ever before, with personnel stationed and supply ports established between the islands so that ships can travel back and forth at any time"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said: "I am ordering the construction of ships. Now, there are quite a lot of newly built ships. Next time we go to the Western Ocean, the number of ships and personnel can be three times that of this time, or even  Five times, the concerns of the Qing family are not unreasonable."

    Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a moment: "The Qing family has issued a charter, and I will make the decision. The Qing family can rest assured that my internal funds are quite generous, so I will naturally do my best to support the Qing family's voyages to the West."

    Liu Jian¡¯s face turned green when he heard the word internal money.

      These two words definitely make men fall silent and women shed tears.

    Wang Ao¡¯s heart beat faster and he felt like a dog.

    Two thousand people went to sea and dozens of ships brought back such a huge wealth. Next time, there will be more people and more ships. By then, what will they bring back?

    ¡°I am really smart for a while, but I am confused for the rest of my life.  After a lifetime of sailing to the West, it became the private property of the royal family.

    He wanted to say something to make up for the loss of the treasury, but when he opened his mouth, he fell silent again. What should he say?  Back then wasn't it that I and the ministers happily begged His Majesty for permission?  Want to regret it now?  Not to mention that it is completely unreasonable and untenable, I am afraid that His Majesty will also be furious. Are you courting death for teasing the emperor?

    Fang Jifan felt very happy. To be honest, there were still people rushing to give money to the emperor and himself. Such people, people like us, Fang Jifan and other time-travelers, among us, call him Uncle Lei Feng. What a good man, this is definitely  Really out of vulgar taste.

    Now, the Fang family still has 20% of the profits from the Western expedition. Fang Jifan is not worried that his majesty will take back his orders. At this time, he began to plan for it with all his heart: "Your majesty, the map of the world, I don't know whether your majesty can do it."  Have you seen it? There is also a large island south of the Ming Dynasty and Luzon, not far from the Ming Dynasty. Although there are no good seeds there, you might as well send some ships to have a look? "

    With the experience of going to Golden Continent, countless money and food have been poured into it, ships will be built on a large scale, countless craftsmanship will be improved accordingly, and many people will begin to understand navigation. This is a continuous improvement and improvement  process, then searching for Australia will become a matter of course.

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said: "You and Xu Qing's family, please come up with the charter, I will consider it myself."

    The implication of these words is actually permission.

    You can make money, what else can I say? This income is really considerable, and countless silvers have been added to the internal funds. Why don't I support it?  If you want me to build a ship, come, come, come, I will use all my internal funds to build a great ship, is it not enough?  It doesn't matter, I can eat sweet potato porridge every day, let Queen Zhang continue to weave cloth with the palace people, and then dismiss some eunuchs, cut back on food and clothing, and save money on palace expenses. Is that enough?

    Emperor Hongzhi also had a small abacus. Although this small calculation was not as good as the computers of the successors above, it had reached the level of hexadecimal, which was terrifying.

    Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed. He was in a particularly good mood today. Although he saw the embarrassment on Liu Jian's face, he never mentioned what happened before. Instead, his eyes fell on Zhang Heling: "In the future, don't mess around. You actually will  Do you know that your brother stayed in Golden Continent? If your sister finds out, you don't know how much she will miss you."

    Zhang Heling said: "I am not fooling around."

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face twitched and he was too lazy to continue to accuse.

    But Zhang Heling said with tears in his eyes: "My brother, he is willing to stay. He said it is a good place and the climate is very warm. Your Majesty, how about you give me a piece of land? I will bring you the map."  Yes, it only needs a radius of three hundred miles."

    As he spoke, he excitedly took out the map. He had already marked the location of Jinshan Mountain on this map: "Your Majesty, this is called San Francisco. It goes deep into the westernmost part of the Golden Continent. I think the name is festive, so I might as well give it to you."  I¡¯ll give it to my brothers, I will go there to farm in the future¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi only glanced at the location of San Francisco and smiled bitterly in his heart. Where is this place? It is a place that cannot be reached with eight poles. It seems that this Golden Continent is his own home. Emperor Hongzhi said casually: "If you like it, then  Just give it to you, but from now on, you must not be fooled by the prince. He tells you to go to sea, so you go to sea, and he also teaches you to die, why are you still alive?"

    Zhang Heling looked aggrieved: "Your Majesty must not blame His Majesty the Crown Prince. The two brothers are close relatives of His Majesty the Crown Prince. I really can't bear to have him be blamed by Your Majesty for this."

    Zhu Houzhao's eyes were about to burst out with fire.

    I wish I could roll up my sleeves and slap this uncle twice.

    Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Succession"

    Fang Jifan was lost. In fact, when Zhang Heling asked the emperor for this land, he actually wanted San Francisco. This San Francisco was on the west coast of the Golden Continent, thousands of miles away from the landing site. Are these brothers crazy?

    It¡¯s very confusing!

    Hearing His Majesty¡¯s call, Fang Jifan quickly came to his senses: ¡°I wonder what your Majesty¡¯s orders are?¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "Since I have given you land for this home, come on, I will also give you a piece of land. What do you like?"

    Fang Jifan finally understood, this is called borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.  Anyway, the land does not belong to Emperor Hongzhi. In that case, I am happy to do it as a favor.

    Fang Jifan, however, squinted his eyes, and the integrated circuit digital machine in his mind instantly began to perform calculations.

    "Let me take a look." Fang Jifan stepped forward with his eyes closed. After all, horse racing and staking is a very pleasant thing.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Um, the alarm clock didn¡¯t wake me up, so I took my notebook and wrote it in the hospital. It was painful. Why did the alarm clock never wake me up?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?It belongs to Emperor Hongzhi. In this case, I am happy to do it as a favor.
