Chapter 507: Exile in America

Li Jie had just considered how to deal with Zhu Yunwen on the road, and Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to ask him. At that time, he also felt that Zhu Yunwen had no other way to deal with it except for house arrest, but now if you think about it carefully, there is another way.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to take the risk and keeps putting him under house arrest, I have another suggestion." Li Jie thought for a long time and finally spoke.

"Brother-in-law, tell me quickly, what else can I do?" Zhu Yunxi immediately asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Exile!" Li Jie slowly spit out two words.

"Exile? This... is better than house arrest. After all, there are still people watching the house arrest, but exile is more likely to be used by someone. If he is rescued quietly, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?" Zhu Yunxiu asked with wide eyes when he heard this. He really couldn't believe that this was the solution that Li Jie thought of for him.

"Your Majesty, you should look farther. Exile can not only be exiled within the Ming Dynasty, but also to other parts of the world, such as America, or Southeast Asia!" Li Jie explained with a smile.

"America? South China?" Zhu Yunxiu stood up in surprise when he heard this. Then he walked back and forth several times, obviously considering whether this matter is feasible?

Just now, Zhu Yunxiu was also trapped in a fixed mindset. Generally, exiled prisoners in the Ming Dynasty were exiled to the borders of the Ming Dynasty, such as Qiongzhou in the south or Jinzhou in the north. These places were already the limit of exiling prisoners.

However, Li Jie mentioned the Americas and made Zhu Yunyu suddenly realize that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is completely different now. The fleet of long-distance voyages can not only reach Japan and South Asia, but also reach the distant Americas. I even heard that someone discovered a huge land east of Java, which should be Australia marked on the globe.

There are only some natives living on these continents, most of whom do not even have the concept of a country, and only have some very primitive means of survival. Moreover, Zhu Yunqiu was deeply influenced by Li Jie and knew that if the Ming Dynasty did not occupy these lands, he would only benefit others in the future. So he had decided to explore these overseas lands long before he ascended the throne.

In the days after he ascended the throne, he had to decide on affairs across the country. What he was most concerned about was overseas affairs, especially the development of Southeast Asia and America. He had always dealt with them personally. He also knew that the biggest problem in developing these places was the shortage of manpower. Even if he was willing to migrate the population, he could not fill this gap in a short period of time.

"South Ocean is still too close. In comparison, America is farther away, and sending him over is even more reassuring, but..." Zhu Yunxiu suddenly frowned when he said this, and then said in a little embarrassed manner, "But will the Fourth Uncle agree?"

The Americas were mainly discovered by Zhu Di and Zhang Dingbian, who formed a fleet together. Although the bank later got involved and even Lao Zhu was brought in, the main force in developing America is Zhu Di and Zhang Dingbian. Among them, Zhang Dingbian has few people and weak power, so there is no need to worry. However, Zhu Di has mastered the resources of Goryeo and has been working hard to develop America in recent years.

According to the situation mastered by Zhu Yunyu, Zhu Di sent three fleets to the Americas and transported many immigrants. In the area where the corn was discovered, that is, the Central America area, several data points were suggested. Although the number of people was limited, it had defeated the local native city-states one after another, established great prestige, and also reclaimed land to build cities. It is estimated that in a few years, a series of Central Plains-style cities will appear on the American land.

Li Jie also showed a solemn expression when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words. He and Zhu Di had private letters. The focus of the two discussions was on the development of America, so he knew better about the situation in America than Zhu Yunxi.

In addition, Li Jie also knew that Zhu Di was already planning to move his family to the Americas. The pioneer fleets sent to Central America actually laid the foundation for Zhu Di's relocation. Although Li Jie advised Zhu Di to tell him that the vast area of ​​North America is more suitable for the establishment of an empire, after all, there were examples of America in later generations.

However, after collecting intelligence and considering, Zhu Di decided to set the relocation location in Central America. In fact, his decision was very reasonable. Most of the Americas in history were very primitive, but the Central American area produced prosperous civilizations. For example, the Mayan civilization was born here, and Zhu Di's people had conflicts with the Mayans before.

So in Zhu Di's opinion, since Central America has the most prosperous civilization in the entire America, it must be a treasure land. Of course, Central America is indeed good, even corn is native to it, so it is normal for Zhu Di to choose this place.

Of course, there is a problem now. Zhu Di has decided to move to America. Maybe he can allow Zhang Dingbian and others to live in America with him. After all, Zhang Dingbian and others have little threat to him, and the cooperation between the two sides is much greater than conflict. But if Zhu Yunwen is sent to America now, it will be equivalent to having two princes of the Ming Dynasty in the entire America, which will definitely make Zhu Di think more.

"Your Highness of the King of Yan must consider the attitude, but the area of ​​America is so vast that it is definitely not possible to rely on the King of Yan himself alone. He also knows this. So as early as when Taizu was alive, the King of Yan wanted to request some population to be moved from the Ming Dynasty. Now we can discuss it with the King of Yan in this regard." Li Jie thought for a long time before finally speaking.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean is that we can generate some population and then ask the fourth uncle to agree to send the eldest brother to America?" Zhu Yunxiu touched his chin and thought. This is a way, it is nothing more than to generate some population.

"Not only that, although His Highness of the King of Yan is not in the Ming Dynasty, he still has a lot of feelings for the Ming Dynasty. The previous emperor suddenly passed away and the person who sent the letter to the King of Yan came back and said that the King of Yan cried bitterly after receiving the bad news, and he fell ill because of this. Therefore, when His Majesty deals with the King of Yan, he must not only talk about interests, but also contact them with family affection."

Li Jie finally showed a solemn expression and said that Zhu Yunxi's personality is not perfect, but also has some problems, such as being more utilitarian and a little impetuous. Sometimes he is prone to being unable to calm down. In the past, he could persuade him from time to time, but now Zhu Yunxi is already the emperor, and Li Jie is really worried that he will lose himself because of power.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunxiu could still listen to Li Jie's words. He immediately nodded and said, "I understand. Now I will write a letter to my fourth uncle, tell him about my current difficulties, and ask him to help me with this little favor!"
