When Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace, he ordered people to search for charts and classics. Although the sea charts and shipbuilding drawings and documents of the eunuch Sanbao who went to the West were burned by Liu Daxia, there were some re-recorded hidden in the palace, but I didn't know which corner it was pressed.

Zhu Houzhao went back and ordered people to find it. The eunuchs had to work hard and almost searched through the entire warehouse before finding the chart with the corner of the box and put it in front of His Majesty in panting.

"Master, Master... I've been looking for it..."

Fortunately, this thing was made using secret methods, waterproof, fire-proof, insect-proof, and has not been damaged after so many years, but those classics have long disappeared.

This room unfolded the chart and covered the imperial study room. This was the first time in his life that Emperor Zhengde had seen the world so big. He and Wei Wu lay on the ground and watched carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"It turns out that the fleet of Sanbao Eunuchs was able to reach such a distance. It turns out that there are really mountains outside the mountain, and there are people outside the sea. I don't know if this chart still works after many years?"

Wei Wu thought about it and responded,

"My wife and sister are now working as county magistrate in Guangzhou Prefecture with me. She once wrote a letter to tell Jian Nei that there were large ships of foreigners from the port there, some from Franchise, some from Dashi and Persian merchants, and neighboring countries such as Japan, Ryukyu, Java, and Baihua. There were also ships. The Franchise people were said to have come from thousands of miles away. I think there must be more detailed charts..."

"oh……"

Zhu Houzhao lies in the emperor's majesty and lays on the ground, and hears Wei Wu's words and asks curiously.

"I have heard of these barbaric countries you are talking about, but I have never seen them. I don't know what the people there are like? What language are they speaking? How do they live?"

Wei Wu thought about it and responded,

"I have never seen it before. My wife and sister came back from a letter saying that people have different appearances and their language is strange. Some are as white as cooked chicken, some are as black as burnt charcoal, some are tall, blue and yellow in eyes, some are short and have curly hair..."

Wei Wu really didn't know it. He just looked at the letter Han Yun wrote to Han Qi when he was fine, and then he realized the world outside. However, Zhu Houzhao was able to take a picture and say,

"I am a king of a country, but I am not as good as a woman in an inner house. I have too little knowledge!"

After thinking about it, he ordered Wei Wudao,

"You go and summon Mou Bin in. I have something to do to him!"

"yes!"

Wei Wu left the palace and summoned Mou Bin to the palace. The Jinyiwei got an errand, but he asked the people from the Thousand Houses in Guangzhou to report secretly every ten days. The local experiences and stories were all about the size and size, especially the actions of the people from overseas countries, and they had to report them one by one.

In this way, every ten days, the Jinyiwei's fast horse was rushed into the palace by eight hundred miles. After seeing it, the Emperor opened his eyes a lot and pulled Wei Wu and sighed.

"I wish I could go there myself to see it. It turns out that the world is so big. The Persians had been galloping on the ocean for many years, bringing our silk and porcelain to a country far away as Franchis, and seeking huge wealth. Now Franchis people come from the other side of the ocean. I heard that they occupied many small countries along the way and robbed a lot of gold and silver. However, we Daqing people have never crossed the ocean since the Three Treasures eunuchs..."

The young emperor was competitive and realized that his family was the best country in the heavenly state. How could he not even compare with those small countries? They were all domineering on the sea, but they still closed the door and fought internally, but they gave up a large ocean to others in vain.

Wei Wu frowned when he heard this,

"Your Majesty, I also think that only going out to the ocean is necessary to build a large ship, but now no one in our country can build a large ship!"

Zhu Houzhao walked back and forth in the imperial study with his hands in his arms.

"This... is easy to deal with. I can't make it now. Can I buy it with those Persians, then with those Franchise people, with the Fanban people with big ships, and buy boats and charts to buy sailors. As long as I can do it for money, it's not a problem!"

Wei Wu praised him when he heard this,

"Your Majesty is wise, I can't think of this place!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly,

"I'm just talking big. I have no money in the inner warehouse. If I ask the foreign court for money, I'm afraid I will be drowned by the ministers' spits, and I'm going to say that I'm not doing my job properly!"

Wei Wu thought about it after hearing this, and carefully looked at Zhu Houzhao.

"I have a way to do this, but I don't know if Your Majesty dares to do it?"

How could Zhu Houzhao be looked down upon by his good brothers? He immediately stared at him,

"Is there something in this world that I dare not do?"

Wei Wu laughed,

"Of course there isn't..."

Now he preached the business of his own Qiyizhai.

"Those things coming from outside are very cheap, and they are transported to the capital or other wealthy places for sale. The profit is rolling upward. Your Majesty can buy small boats first and do small business offshore. When the business grows bigger, you can buy big boats and then do big business. You can make a fortune in a few years. With money, why can't you do it?"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Hey! It turns out that there is still this business, I don't know..."

Wei Wu saw that he was overjoyed and did not realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly reminded him,

"This... Your Majesty, the ancestors have a solid foundation. Except for the vassal states, they are not allowed to trade in the sea..."

This is because of the ancestors. If His Majesty the Emperor dares to form a fleet to go out to trade on the sea, the ministers would dare to kneel to death outside the palace gate.

"this……"

Zhu Houzhao was indeed a little embarrassed. She turned her hands behind her back for a few times, but she asked Wei Wudao with her mind.

"Now, who else can roam the sea besides the fleet of merchants?"

"This... is naturally a pirate!"

Wei Wu thought about it and responded,

"pirate!"

Zhu Houzhao walked back and forth in the study with her hands behind her back, and suddenly she clenched her right fist and hit her left palm hard.

"I have a way!"

As he said that, he looked at Wei Wu excitedly,

"If you can't come openly, you will come secretly. You will find an opportunity to get me a few ships and weapons to make me dress up as pirates and go out to sea..."

"this……"

Wei Wu scratched his head a little.

"Your Majesty, it's a bad thing if this matter is spread!"

Why not? It’s simply sensational. The family’s king asked his ministers to pretend to be pirates to go out to sea. If the ministers know, they don’t have to kneel down. They just untied their belts and hung them in front of the palace gate!

Of course, they didn’t know that someone would do this in the future on the other side of the distant ocean!

The two of them discussed in the imperial study for more than half a day, but they had no idea. Zhu Houzhao simply stopped thinking about it and ordered,

"I have never had this matter, and I have no rules for doing things. I will give you a secret decree to give you the right to make decisions on the spot. Just let it go. If you have something to do, I will take care of you!"

Wei Wu naturally responded to his orders,

"I obey the order!"

Wei Wu received the secret order, and the first time he came back to ask Han Qi, he gave his wife a complete plan, and asked for advice,

"What should I do if I follow Sister Qi'er's words?"

Han Qi thought for a long time and responded,

"I actually want to hide this from the ministers in the court, but when I go to the local area, I have to use the Jinyiwei brand, so you don't have to hide it from the commander and the poliest envoy..."

Seeing Wei Wu nodded and said,

"As for purchasing ships, recruiting personnel, etc., your friends in the world have everything, but they can walk around the world. I think there must be some ways..."

After all, His Majesty the Emperor gave his husband an imperial edict, and he had to prepare all the limited money on his hand, and he had to use all the connections he could use. As the saying goes, rats have a way of rats and snakes have a way of snakes, it is better to go hand in hand.

Wei Wu nodded again, Han Qi said again,

"After the Chinese New Year, I want to go to Guangzhou and meet my second sister and brother-in-law. They have been there for quite a while. I think I should know a lot about the local situation!"

Wei Wu nodded,

"good!"

The couple discussed it and the matter started secretly.

Wei Wu knew those people in front of him, and indeed asked Liu Zhenjiang and Song Xinglian to inquire about the land. Wei Wu was waiting for someone to hook up, but when he heard the two of them asked, he pretended to say,

"This matter... and wait for me to inquire about it. I have been busy with errands these days, but I have no time to see my friend. I don't know if it has been sold?"

It took two of them a few days to reply and praise them.

"It's said that it's still good to hold it in my hand, and it's because I'm willing to let it go!"

After talking about the land and the land of the house, the other party was overjoyed and came to look for Wei Wu in person that day.

"Brother Wei has so many friends in his hands. If we are willing to release them, we are willing to buy them at a high price!"

At that time, the eunuchs carefully selected these land and houses, and they took some effort to get them both skillfully and rob them. Now that Wei Wu is all cheap, they can take out a few of them and they are all good fertile land and locations. Those people are worried that they can’t find a place to buy money. How can they not rush to come if they have this opportunity?

If this is one step slower and someone snatches it first, I am afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life!

Wei Wu smiled and counted them, but the few people didn't blink for a moment and nodded repeatedly,

"We want it all!"

Wei Wu reminded,

“The price is not cheap!”

A number was reported immediately, and several people stared at him,

"If Brother Wei dares to sell this cheaply, he will look down on our brothers!"
