"Central America has rich resources and a superior location, connecting two American continents. It can be said that as long as I control this place, it is equivalent to controlling two continents. Therefore, the previous native Americans built cities here and were the essence of the entire American continent. So if I go to America, I will definitely build cities here!"

In the cabin, Zhu Di blushed and pointed to the Americas map on the table. It was reasonable to say that it was a map, but it was actually drawn by him and Li Jie. It only had the approximate shape of two American continents, but it was enough.

"Central America does have many advantages, but since this is a major transportation route, it is naturally a place for four wars. Now there are no other forces in the Americas, so you naturally don't have to worry about these things. But if other forces in the Americas intervene in the future, you may be attacked from all sides!" Li Jie argued without giving in at all.

"Only when I am weak in my strength, I will be attacked from all sides. When I am the first to reach America, I will naturally occupy the richest land and develop the most powerful force. Just like the dynasties in the Central Plains, only by occupying the fertile soil of the Central Plains can I be considered as unifying China!" Zhu Di insisted on his own opinion.

"But when it comes to fertile land, the hinterland of North America is a vast plain, and it is also the best arable land in the world. As long as it occupies it, even if there are no high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn, you don't have to worry about food just by growing wheat and rice!"

When Li Jie spoke, he also pointed to the hinterland of North America, which is the Great Plain of the United States in later generations. This is the largest grain production area in the world, and the amount of cultivated land is also the highest in the world. It is precisely because of this fertile land that no matter how much Americans in later generations waste food, it doesn’t matter.

"But according to the information I received, this land is very primitive and most areas have little population. If I go there, everything will start from scratch, which is far less than that of Central America. There are many natives here, rich products, and minerals can be seen everywhere, especially gold, silver and copper, which are very common, so occupying this place is the best choice for me!" Zhu Di insisted again.

Li Jie and Zhu Di talked about the situation in America, but the result was that there was a dispute over the place where they settled in America. Zhu Di insisted on settling Central America, while Li Jie insisted on choosing the central part of North America, that is, the United States in later generations had a better position. Both sides had a different opinion and no one could convince anyone.

However, in the end, Li Jie still failed to convince Zhu Di. In fact, Li Jie made an empirical mistake in this matter. The strength of the United States in later generations gave him a deep impression. Although the strength of the United States has geographical reasons, they seized the opportunity of two world wars, thus laying the foundation for their own world power. If they really rely on their own development, the United States may not be able to develop to the level of later generations.

"Actually what you said may not be wrong. It's just that I have not even started to gain a foothold in the Americas yet, so it's a bit far away to talk about the future. And mere Central America may be just my springboard. In the future, I will always develop in the north and south directions, and it's not too late to occupy other places at that time." Zhu Di also added in the end.

"That's true. If you are expanding outward, you'd better choose North America first. Even if you pay some price, as long as you can win it, you can definitely achieve a lifelong foundation for your descendants!" Li Jie also spoke again at this time.

"I dare not think about the things about the foundation of the world. After all, no one can guarantee the future." Zhu Di said this and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Jie, then smiled, "But if you are willing to help me, I can give it a try, and we can even build a country that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty."

Li Jie was stunned for a moment before reacting to Zhu Di's naked win over, and then smiled helplessly: "Uncle Fourth, you respect me so much. My power alone is very limited. Only by relying on the national strength of the Ming Dynasty can you do something. If the Ming Dynasty is released, it will probably not be of much use at all."

Li Jie still has a clear understanding of himself. Although he seems to know a little about everything, he is just mixed and not careful. For example, like a steam engine, he can only propose the concept of a steam engine. The people who really researched the steam engine were actually Guo Zhenglin and Xie Jin, so if he really helped Zhu Di, he would probably have very limited things to do.

"Don't underestimate yourself too much. With your ability, if you go to America with me, you will definitely do more. Of course, Your Majesty will definitely not let anyone go!" Zhu Di said at the end, and even if Li Jie was willing, he might not agree. After all, Li Jie is really important to Zhu Yunxi.

Li Jie was also a little moved when he heard this, because he suddenly realized that at this point in the Ming Dynasty, there were actually very few things he could do, especially the Ming Dynasty had stabilized. If he wanted to change, it would involve the interests of too many people. Just like when his previous officials were transferred to officials, he was chased and killed because he had touched the interests of others.

In contrast, there is a blank space in America. Li Jie can completely establish an ideal country in America according to his own ideas.

Of course, Li Jie can only imagine the above in his mind, because it is easy to start over in America, but it is difficult to do, and it must require the support of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhu Yunqiu was definitely the first to disagree, so it was impossible for him to go to America.

In this way, Li Jie and Zhu Di spent three days, and finally arrived in Taijin on the evening of the third day. The two of them didn't care about resting, because Zhu Yunxi had already sent someone to wait for him here, so Li Jie and Zhu Di simply got on the train and rested, and then rushed back to the capital overnight.

Li Jie slept on the train and woke up. The man had arrived in the capital. Then he took the car into the palace to see Zhu Yunxi. As a result, when Zhu Yunxi saw him, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and said, "Brother-in-law, something is wrong, and there may be a war in the west!"

"West?" Li Jie was stunned when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words, and then there was a flash of lightning flashing through his mind. He finally knew what he had ignored before.

"Temur!" Li Jie immediately said a name. Perhaps later generations felt a little unfamiliar with this name, but in this era, even Timur's name was known to the Ming Dynasty, and in Central Asia, everyone was even more disgusted with it, and even regarded him as a representative of the Mongolians.

"Yes, it's this cripple man. According to reliable information, Timur led an army of 800,000 to the east, and the troops were aimed directly at our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxiu also spoke with a serious expression at this time.
