Let’s not talk about the sensation caused by the long-distance fleet, nor do we talk about the lively incident in Nanjing City. After welcoming Pan Mengyuan at the dock, Zhu Yicheng specially held a banquet in the palace. After the banquet, he summoned Pan Mengyuan alone.

Regarding the situation of the long-distance fleet in North America, although Zhu Yicheng had received news from Pan Mengyuan to send it with a clutch, there were still many in detail in the memorial. When summoned, Pan Mengyuan began to start from Hokkaido, telling how they crossed the Pacific Ocean to reach the Asvegas area, and then how they chose a place to build Wanghai City...

As he told, Zhu Yicheng listened with interest, and sometimes asked about the details of the time. Pan Mengyuan said everything about this and said one by one.

It was not until two hours later that Pan Mengyuan finished all his experiences for half a year. Seeing his dry mouth, Zhu Yicheng even brewed a cup of tea for him with his own hands.

"How can I let the emperor..." Seeing this, Pan Mengyuan quickly stood up and said.

"It's okay." Zhu Yicheng signaled him to sit down, but his movements did not stop. He brewed a cup of tea and said with a smile: "You are working hard and making great contributions, and you deserve this to be back with a successful return."

Pan Mengyuan could only thank him repeatedly, and then, under Zhu Yicheng's gentle gaze, he cupped the teacup with both hands and drank it clean.

After he put down the teacup, Zhu Yicheng asked: "In your opinion, what should I do if I, the Ming Dynasty, want to occupy this place?"

Pan Mengyuan immediately said, "Go back to the emperor, that continent is indeed extremely rich. Not to mention anything else, just some gold and silver mountains are enough to make me profit from the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the mountains and forests are dense and the land is fertile. If the people of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, it must be a place of atmosphere. As the emperor and the minister said before I set off, that continent was indeed a chosen place. It would be a pity if I did not take it."

Seeing Zhu Yicheng nodding slightly, Pan Mengyuan continued: "There are vast and sparse people there. In my opinion, although there are Indians available, these people are just a family. If you want to completely occupy this place, moving people is the most important thing. If you can, I suggest moving 100,000 people first, divided into two places, Wanghai City and Sun City, and then slowly expanding around, then moving tens of thousands of people every year, and absorbing Indians to consolidate the place. In this way, after a few years, it will be a preliminary scale."

Zhu Yicheng is not opposed to immigration. In fact, he planned to immigrate to the New World from the very beginning. After all, Zhu Yicheng, the largest North America, knows the most. Even if the east of North America has been occupied by France and Britain, and in South America is a colony of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries, from the perspective of the current unowned area, if it can be occupied, it will be at least the same size as the entire China.

You should know that North America is not the United States of later generations. From a broad perspective, it also includes many regions in Canada. Zhu Yicheng knows the most what this land can bring to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has already made a late decision on the ocean. If you don’t take action now and wait until the dust in North America is settled, you will regret it.

But you should know that with current navigation technology, it is extremely difficult to immigrate 100,000 yuan. With the opening of maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty, the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty is now very powerful. Not only does it have a naval fleet that stands out in East Asia, but it is not bad even if it is placed in Europe.

In addition to the navy, there are countless merchant ships of all sizes, which have exceeded the total number of the navy in terms of total tonnages. Moreover, whether it is the navy or merchant ship, the number is still rising. This is the result of Zhu Yicheng's years of efforts and the current situation he is happy to see.

But even so, 100,000 immigrants are not a small number. Judging from the navy's capacity, at most, the number of immigrants to North America is only 10,000 at most. This is different from Zhu Yicheng's sneak attack on Tianjin Wei. Tianjin Wei is near the sea, and going to North America requires crossing the Pacific Ocean. Whether it is the ship problem or the supply and consumption along the way, it is a problem.

Furthermore, these people immigrated, and not only were there people who immigrated, but also a large amount of supplies and production and daily necessities they had settled in North America. If these were combined, the difficulty would be even greater.

But it is difficult and it must be done as soon as possible.

Today, the reason why Zhu Yicheng came to the dock with the emperor's honor was to let the people of the world know his importance to the New World. Moreover, before, the Ming Propaganda Department also began to promote the situation of the New World under Zhu Yicheng's instruction, which also made all the Ming people have aroused a strong interest in that land.

The love of Chinese people has been around since ancient times, and there is also the saying that their parents are not traveling far away. Only those who really can't make it in their hometown will leave their hometown. As long as they have a bite of food, they often stay in their hometown and live a life of peasant women, mountain springs, and a little field. This is the best life for ordinary Chinese people.

Therefore, it is impossible to immigrate for compulsory purposes in the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Yicheng really did this, it would be a major blow to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the immigration plan of up to 100,000 people, and the number of tens of thousands of people per year in the later period. If this news spreads, Zhu Yicheng may be scolded as a fool.

"I have my own arrangements for the relocation of the people. I have been practicing hard in the capital these days. Then I will work with the Ministry of War, Navy, and Research Institute to make charts. I will have to work hard to continue voyages thousands of miles."

"I am not working hard. I can open up territory for the Emperor and the Ming Dynasty. This is my luck. But if the Emperor is sent, I will never refuse to die!" Pan Mengyuan quickly stood up and saluted. Zhu Yicheng smiled and helped him up, and at the same time encouraged him to take good rest and take good care of him these days, keeping his health well, and finally sending him out of the palace gate in person.

After looking at the excited Pan Mengyuan left, Zhu Yicheng thought about it and ordered the little yellow gate beside him: "Go and find Wang Jingqi for me."

Half an hour later, Wang Jingqi entered the palace and was soon taken to the side hall where Zhu Yicheng was reading the memorial.

"My minister Wang Jingqi pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor! Long live!"

"Come on, sit down and talk." Zhu Yicheng pointed to the stool that had been prepared for Wang Jingqi.

After thanking, Wang Jingqi sat down and Zhu Yicheng asked: "Today, General Pan returned from thousands of miles away, and you also went to the dock with me. What do you think about this?"
