Chapter 156: The Three Treasures Eunuch Comes(2/3)
The old man finally couldn't help but turn the capital movement into a national policy.
Luo Xiangyang glanced at the silent grandson and then said, "The eunuch of the Three Treasures will arrive in Jiaozhi in the near future, and the treasure fleet will build the Chang Mansion."
Jianchang Prefecture is located in the southeast of Anzhou Prefecture, facing the South China Sea. There is a natural harbor along the coast, which can be used to dock and supply Daming treasure ships.
Zhu Zhanji calculates the time.
Zheng He's treasure fleet has actually set sail for several months.
However, he set out from Longjiang Shipyard. Along the way, he stopped in Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places.
Materials from all over the Ming Dynasty were transported on treasure fleets along the way to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty when Zheng He was in the ocean.

This time, the stopping at Jianchang Prefecture in Jiaozhi was beyond the plan.
The reason is that one of the letters Zhu Zhanji sent from Huizhou Prefecture to Yingtian was given to Zheng He.
Zheng He is coming too!
Zhu Zhanji is very happy!
Zhu Zhanji did not stay in Anzhou Prefecture for much.
Almost all of the guards stayed in Anzhou City for rest. He only took Luo Xiangyang's Jinyiwei to Jianchang Mansion.
The reason is naturally that the crown prince adopted the opinion of Huang Fu, the left envoy of the governor, and wanted to take a look at it in Jiaozhi.
Originally, Huang Fu was planning to have a walk with his grandson himself.
According to his idea, he wanted to continue to take this opportunity to get closer to the crown prince.
Haven't you seen that the crown prince went to Zhongdu. Qi Zi'an, who was originally just a commander of the Little Little Army, became the assistant minister of the Governor's Office of the Five Army?
In addition, the crown prince went to Huizhou Prefecture again.
Now, the entire Huizhou Prefecture has been temporarily removed from the normal administrative sequence of the Ming Dynasty and has become a pilot place, which belongs to the Prince's direct administration of the Prefecture.
I am afraid that in a few years, there will be several additional officials from the Huizhou Prefecture in the court.
Huang Fu didn't have many ideas.
As long as he could return to Yingtian from Jiaozhi, who was thousands of miles away, even if he only became a minister in the Six Divisions, he would be satisfied.
Zhu Zhanji rejected Huang Fu's request.
The reason is also very good.
You, Huang Fu, are the left-level envoy of Jiaozhi, and the government is busy. If you are not here, who will bear the responsibility if something happens?
For a normal reason, Huang Fu dared not make any more requests.
He knew very well that if he was too eager and flattering, he would not say whether he could get what he wanted, but he was afraid that he would have a bad impact in Taisun's heart in the end.
After getting rid of Huang Fu who was determined to respond to the sky again, Zhu Zhanji was finally able to set off with peace of mind and slowly headed to Jianchang Mansion.
According to Luo Xiangyang's news, Zheng He's treasure fleet will probably take about a decade to arrive at Jianchang Prefecture.
The treasure fleet is not a two-way ship.
Hundreds of ships of various types can almost occupy the entire sea area when they are arranged neatly, so the speed is naturally not fast.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry to leave, and even made detours on his way many times.
The purpose is to take a look at the land in southern Xinjiang.
Zhu Zhanji once and never came to this southern Xinjiang, which is almost a god-given place.
Now, I truly set foot in this land and see everything on this land with my own eyes.
It brought great impact to Zhu Zhanji.
The land is fertile!
Rich in resources!
The land is vast and sparsely populated!
To sum up, it's just one word.
money!
Everything in southern Xinjiang, reflected in Zhu Zhanji's eyes, turned into the word "money".
This land is still in the most primitive farming mode.
Sow a handful of seeds in spring and harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in autumn.
This is the land.
The more you see, the greater the enthusiasm in Zhu Zhanji's heart.
So naturally, he began to make various calculations.
If the Ming Dynasty completely occupied the entire southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains migrated a large number of Ming people to settle down, this land would be able to produce as much grain and supply the Ming people.
If your heart is bigger.
From the Peninsula all the way west...
How much grain can the plain land on both sides of the river produce and how many Ming people can feed?
Zhu Zhanji thought about it. If it was developed and improved, after removing the loss during transportation, the grain produced on these two lands would probably be able to be supplied with another Ming Dynasty!
In addition to food, this land also has countless raw materials that make Daming drool.
spices!
mineral!
gem!
Once these things are developed.
Zhu Zhanji felt that he could just lay down.
And now.
How to make the Ming Dynasty truly value this land.
Let the powerful and noble gentry in the Ming Dynasty take a fancy to the interests of this land, thereby promoting the transfer of funds in the Ming Dynasty, promoting the development of immigration and production.
How should the court completely control this land and create a new place that has never been seen since ancient times.
It became a headache for Zhu Zhanji.
When Zhu Zhanji was about to enter a dead end and began to get into a stubborn position, the team had already arrived at the coastal port of Jianchang Prefecture.
The cool sea breeze blew on his face, making Zhu Zhanji's thoughts stir together clear again.
Because there is a natural and excellent harbour.
Along the coast, a small town naturally appeared that relied on the harbour to live.
Most of the towns are fishermen.
On the street leading directly to the harbor, there are a wide range of shops and warehouses.
Take various items from Jiaozhi here and transport them to the Ming Dynasty through ships anchored in the harbor.
The items shipped from the Ming Dynasty were then transported from the seaport to Jiaozhi territory.
The harbor, where ships were crowded in the past, has become empty these days.
The imperial court's treasure fleet voyages to the West are about to arrive here for supply.
The famous eunuch of the Three Treasures, who shocked the entire South China Sea, is about to set foot here.
No one dares to enter this harbor at this time.
Not long ago, the news that the remnants of the Hu family had been wiped out not long ago has spread throughout Jiaozhi.
Everyone has become more docile and obedient.
I dare not expose the court at this time.
Despite the weather in Jiaozhi, Zhu Zhanji wanted to wear homemade big shorts and small vests.
Then run freely on the white beach and surf in the cool sea.
But according to time, today is the day when Zheng He's treasure fleet arrives at Jianchang Prefecture Harbor.
So, he changed into an extremely burdensome royal outfit.
This is specially done by the crown prince.
The harbor has been completely emptied by Luo Xiangyang's Jinyiwei.
One person takes five steps to warn everyone.
In the small town behind, officers and soldiers from Jianchang Prefecture were mobilized to patrol.
