Zhang Dingbian left, but Zhu Di sat at the table and fell into deep thought. Yao Guangxiao next to him was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, have you really decided to cooperate with Zhang Dingbian and others to find America?"

"Yes, the so-called cooperation is nothing more than the two sides paying for money and forming a fleet. The cost is very limited. If you can really find America, it will be a million times the profit, so this transaction is very cost-effective!" Zhu Di nodded and said.

"But……"

Yao Guangxiao seemed to be a little suspicious, but Zhu Di interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I will write a letter to explain it when my father's mind. With his father's mind, he will not care about these things. And if he really finds America, it will be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di paused for a moment when he said this, and then said, "Actually, what really touched me was the last sentence Zhang Dingbian said. If people have no future, they will have immediate worries. Unexpectedly, they are all ready for danger in times of peace. Considering this level!"

Hearing Zhu Di say this, Yao Guangxiao nodded in agreement. Zhu Di asked Zhang Dingbian why they were staying well on Jiuzhou Island, but suddenly came to work with him to find America?

As a result, Zhang Dingbian was silent for a moment and said something that shocked Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao. It turned out that although Zhang Dingbian and others were at their peak on Jiuzhou Island, if they attacked with all their strength, they would only take one year to incorporate the entire Jiuzhou Island into their control. Even if they slowly erode with their current momentum, they would be able to control Jiuzhou Island by three years at the latest.

However, Zhang Dingbian and others have already seen the crisis in the current great situation. The source of this crisis is Zhu Ceng, who has turned Japan upside down. Now Zhu Ceng's territory is no longer limited to Ishimi Kingdom, but has occupied several surrounding ruling countries. Even Yoshihiro Ouchi was forced to hand over a ruling country in order to save his life.

Zhu Chuang's crazy rise not only scared the Japanese, but also aroused the vigilance of Zhang Dingbian and others. Although both of them are enemies of Japan now, the enemy's enemies should be friends.

However, Zhang Dingbian and others keenly felt that Zhu Chuang's rise in Japan was not a good thing for them, but a huge threat. With Zhu Chuang's current momentum, it is estimated that it will be able to annex the Honshu and Shikoku Island of Japan in a few years. By then, Kyushu Island will definitely become their next target.

Zhu Di also agreed with Zhang Dingbian and others' judgment because he knew his second brother. Even if Zhang Dingbian and others had a deal with the court, Zhu Xi's character would never allow such a potential threat to exist around him, so it would be a matter of time before he attacked Jiuzhou Island.

Just imagine, if Zhu Ren really attacked Zhang Dingbian in the future, which side would the Ming Dynasty turn to?

In fact, you can understand this problem with your toes. Whether Lao Zhu is in power or Zhu Biao is in power, they will definitely be in power towards Zhu Feng. After all, this is his own son or younger brother. Zhang Dingbian and others are not only outsiders, but also formerly Lao Zhu's enemies. They did not destroy them before, but helped them to Japan, which was considered to be the ultimate righteousness.

It was also in this situation that Zhang Dingbian and the others thought of finding another way out, at least not putting all the eggs on Jiuzhou Island, so the distant America became their next hope. It was not only farther from the Ming Dynasty, but also a continent several times wider than the Ming Dynasty, which was enough for them and the Ming Dynasty to struggle!

Of course, Zhang Dingbian and his team were still a bit too weak, and they were not sure of sending their own fleet to find America. So after thinking about it, they thought about Zhu Di. This was also the decision that Zhang Dingbian made after seeing through Zhu Di's personality. Sure enough, they bet right, and Zhu Di finally agreed to this matter.

"Master, please prepare the ship and manpower. In a month, we will meet with Zhang Dingbian and the others. Then we will discuss the specific sea trip matters!" Zhu Di ordered again at this time.

"Yes!" Yao Guangxiao immediately agreed and stepped back. He understood Zhu Di's temper. As long as what he believed was almost impossible to change. In addition, Zhu Di was indeed unwilling to live in the small Goryeo. Perhaps only the vast land like America is more suitable for Zhu Di to gallop!

After Yao Guangxiao left, Zhu Di also got up and left the room, and then came to the deck to look at the port in front of him. He saw Fang Guan's subordinates busy carrying various goods from the ship. In fact, they were the spoils they snatched from Japan. The merchants on the dock didn't care where these things came from. Even if some goods were still covered with blood, they were willing to spend money to buy them because these things were much cheaper than normal goods.

Zhu Di looked at the busy dock in front of him for a while and then turned his head and looked behind him. He saw that the Ming Dynasty's naval warships almost filled the entire port. They just docked temporarily, and mainly to deal with the spoils on the ship, so they also seemed a little messy, but it can be seen from some scarred hulls that these warships had been through war.

"Maybe, it's really like Li Jie said that the future of the Ming Dynasty is on the sea!" Zhu Di whispered at this time, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his firm face again.

A month later, the fleet led by Zhu Biao finally arrived at Hejian Mansion slowly. The river section ahead was blocked by silt and had not been cleared yet, so the ship could not move forward, so it could only be changed to a carriage and horse. In the end, this huge fleet finally arrived in Beijing after a few days.

This is the second time Li Jie has come to Beijing, but when he came last time, it was called Peiping. Now, not only has the name changed, but after a year of reconstruction, the entire Beijing city has changed a lot, especially the application of cement, which makes the buildings here more diverse, and some major roads are even hardened with cement. In this way, the entire Beijing city looks more like a later generation.

After the team arrived in Beijing, everyone was very tired. In fact, it was quite comfortable to take a boat before, but later it was changed to a carriage and horse, and I was very tired along the way. So after Zhu Biao entered Beijing, he immediately ordered all the staff to rest and allocated accommodation to each official.

Of course, Li Jie and Zhu Yuning have their own princess mansion, but it has not been built yet. Fortunately, part of the Forbidden City in Beijing has been built and can be moved in, so the couple and Zhu Yunyu, Zhu Xueqing and other royal members have temporarily moved to the Forbidden City to move in. Anyway, it is empty here, and it seems too lonely to live alone.

On the second day after Li Jie and Zhu Biao arrived in Beijing, Zhu Di also brought people back to Beijing from Goryeo, and then told them that they and Zhang Dingbian had decided to send a fleet to find America.
