When Chen Mu walked out of the palace, it was getting dark. Thanks to Xu Jue, the next court, who sent someone to send a message to Du Song, did not let Du Heizi wait stupidly in Jinyi's straight room.

Jinyi left a message to the Minister of Nanyang. Du Heizi, a fifth-ranked groom, went to Liuquanju, the city to have some snacks at noon. In the afternoon, he ran to the opera with two pots of wine in his arms. After drinking too much, he started fighting with people. He let out six strong men and beat three Jinyi who were following the scenes to persuade them. After sobering up, he compensated nine people and took them to Heniantang to get medicine.

Chen Mu walked out of the palace and listened to Jinyi Qianhu telling him about Du Song's situation. He felt uncomfortable when he heard him chuckling.

He knew Du Song's problem, with a strong martial arts skills, a bad temper, and a narrow mind. Whenever he encountered a battle, he always wanted to use a sword to advance with a light army. Even if he graduated from the Beile Lecture Hall, he could improve. However, his personality defects increased with his age and made mistakes. It is not scary. What is scary is that this guy always has a tendency to "be successful if he fails" to destroy himself.

It is good to have this kind of desire to die when the nation is in danger and the war is defeated, but it is a bit scary to always hold this mentality. Chen Mu gave Du Song some ordinary trivial things more than once, and this guy could say something like "If I can't do it well, I will become a monk."

Chen Mu had already thought about it. Du Song said that he could not stay in China any longer. When the serious overseas route came out, he would throw him to Mexico. However, he had to wait until the serious route was tried. To be honest, Du Song's tenacity in his personality was far less than one-tenth of Lin Manjue, so he could only be a general. He did not have the ability to take responsibility for a profession like an explorer that has too high a personality requirement.

The middle-aged god had just come out of the palace. He and two other cabinet ministers stayed in the cabinet all day long. The eunuchs were sent to see Chen Mu and the little emperor several times. Every time the response was the little emperor dancing and talking about something. Seeing his appearance, he talked very happily with Chen Mu. He didn't expect that the two of them were nearly twenty years apart, and they could actually talk together!

It’s true that they can really talk together, and in some emerging fields, the little emperor even knows more than most people in the world. Because he has received less knowledge, his understanding of the world basically originated from the Chen Tao Te Ching, and accepting all new things much faster than others.

Whether in the court or the country, there are still people who don’t believe that they can return from the west by sailing from the east. Of course, they are limited to not believing. Even if someone really returns around for a week, there is nothing to shock to the court or the country.

The world is full of heaven and earth is an old theory in China, but few people know how old this theory is. In the Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty, this theory was out of fashion.

During the Wu Dynasty, Bashu learned to formulate the calendar by Luo Xiahong and proposed the "Huntian Theory". His calendar was more accurate than others, called the Taichu Calendar, and was selected as the official calendar. However, no one could determine what shape it was at that time, so it was just a statement.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng developed the Huntian theory. At the same time, there was an opposing theory called "Gaitian Theory". In the early days, it belonged to the round place of the sky, and in the later days, the earth also became round. The only argument was whether the heaven and earth were spherical or hemispherical.

Observation and progress of astronomy have been developing. By the Tang Dynasty, the monks who measured the distance between the meridians and their ranks completely overturned Gai Tian's saying that the calendar he formulated for Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was called the Dayan Calendar.

Not only navigators in this world need accurate astronomy navigation and positioning, but agricultural civilization also needs accurate astronomy calendar formulation.

For the officials and civilians of the government, it is not important whether there is anyone traveling around the world for a week. Even if you really know that someone travels around the world, it will not have any substantial meaning and you will have to live your life.

But for the little emperor, the one surrounding the sky should be his fleet and his people. If not, his people should have gone.

"Shistor Chen is very happy. I must have had a great conversation with His Majesty." Zhang Juzheng pretended to be confused and greeted Chen Mu in the mansion. He led the way and said with a smile: "Can you talk to the servant?"

"Your Majesty is humble and studious, and has a wise spirit. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. The old masters of the Pavilion have made great contributions." Chen Mu smiled and complimented Zhang Juzheng, and whispered to Zhang Juzheng outdoors: "Your Majesty wants to issue an edict. When the Ming army lands in South Asia, recruits military warships to form a fleet to travel around the world. I recommend my subordinate Lin Manjue, who is very tough and firm in nature, and can take on the important task of creating the world for the first time."

“Traveling the world?”

Zhang Juzheng frowned and wanted to say something. When he spoke, he pulled Chen Mu to the side and asked, "It's profitable? Don't build a 5,000-material giant ship to show the weather. I have seen the research of the Navy Martial Arts Hall. That kind of giant ship is not suitable for use, and it will cost the people and cause money."

Hearing Zhang Juzheng's words did not seem to object, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty already has a chart to travel east to Spain, which is a mature route; to the west, there is a chart to travel to Africa by Sanbaogong that year. The Ming Dynasty is actually only a slight difference from the map of the world."

"There is no need to make a big move. Go east. According to the contract, the Ming Dynasty is farthest from the Spanish garrison; when going west, the Lion garrison will be garrisoned by the contract with Portugal. There are many Portuguese merchant stations available for supply along the way. You only need to send a fleet of 3,000 people, carry envoys, and sail westward, and then recruit private caravans to accompany you. You can go to various places. Here, I think that the three largest warships are the most suitable for the construction of 2,500-mile warships and 2,000-mile warships in Nanyang Vilary Port."

"Along the route, the envoy signed a trade treaty with various countries. Jinyi secretly investigated the national conditions and strength, surveyed and mapped the map, and merchants recorded their specialties, scarce commercial goods, and domestic prices, and further expanded overseas markets. Then, private caravans traded with various countries with small orders, and the imperial court formed a caravan to make profits through the import and export of bulk goods. Are the elders still worried that it was not profitable?"

"But the names of those three giant ships are still asking the cabinet master for permission."

What Chen Mu said is not novel, and it is basically the same as Zheng He's way of voyage to the West in the past. It is also the way of the civil caravan and the imperial caravan. The only difference is that in the past, the imperial court did not send caravans, and the civil caravans rarely sent caravans to such a distance. Whoever wants to buy them will buy them from the Heavenly Kingdom and buy them and transport them by themselves.

But now the middle school of China has known the truth. The price of goods can be increased several times or even dozens of times between transportation. The biggest profit in the past has been given in vain!

In the past, there was another security issue before everyone. Now the Nanyang Military Palace stretched its tentacles to all places like a huge octopus. This war machine that was difficult to stop after opening was escorted the merchant ships. What else should I hesitate about?

Zhang Juzheng heard that Chen Mu and the emperor were not stupid enough to travel around the world with huge and clumsy sealing boats, which made him feel relieved. The larger the size of the battleship, the difficulty of manufacturing increased, and the cost of construction naturally increased. Moreover, he had to add armed forces. He did not want Chen Mu to create several hundred thousand taels of warships to do such things that were invisible and meaningless.

He asked, "What do you think of the name of the Giant Boat?"
