Three days later.
It was already the 24th year of Hongwu.
Zhu Yuanzhang took Yingtian and Kaifeng as Nanjing and Beijing, and Linhao as Zhongdu. A censor, Hu Ziqi, wrote that "Guanzhong is the best place to occupy the danger of 120 rivers and mountains.”Yuanzhang was moved by this, but he did not show it.
On August 11, 2014, he ordered Prince Zhu Biao to patrol Shaanxi. He told him,"Among the mountains and rivers in the world, only Qin Zhong is dangerous and solid. I have ordered your brother to enfeoffe his land for more than ten years. You can visit it to observe the customs and comfort the people of Qin."”So he chose civil and military officials to accompany him, and gave him money for the journey. After the departure of the emperor, Yuanzhang once again told him: In the past ten days, it has been cloudy for a long time without rain. There is a conspiracy. We should be cautious in our actions, strictly guard the palace, and give benevolence and grace to restore God's will.”He also told the ministers who followed him to report their actions to the emperor.
It had been a relatively peaceful year.
However, at this moment, with Zhu Bai entering the capital, it was destined that there would be a complete upheaval.
Everything was ready.
In the middle of Hainan Bay.
More than fifty ships set off in a mighty manner.
Among them, 35 transport ships were loaded with supplies, and there were 15 arrow ships for protection.
The group of people headed north in a grandiose manner.
They would first arrive at Guangzhou Prefecture, then meet up with the Wei Nation's ships heading south, forming the final fleet, and then enter Jinling together.
Arriving at Guangzhou Prefecture.
The journey was not far.
Even if the ship was full of goods.
In less than three days, a group of people had arrived at Guangzhou Port.
Due to the ban on the sea, the Guangzhou government was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Instead, it was more desolate.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Bai could not help sighing as well.
It had to be said that his father had a lot of limitations as a farmer.
In his mind, as long as everyone cultivated their own land, the world would be peaceful.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to establish a utopia for the peasants and tried to put the entire Ming Empire under his control. Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that anyone who wanted to leave their hometown for more than a hundred miles had to register with the government in advance. It was also stipulated that once the people of the various places met strangers, they had to carefully check their passes.
These were still alright.
However, the guard system and the household registration system were really a bit of a scam.
And the Sea Restriction Order was undoubtedly the most wrong decision.
It was a pity that he did not have the ability to change his father's mind at the moment.
Moreover, for him in the early stages, Da Ming's forbidden sea was actually of great benefit to him.
Give him enough time to develop.
Therefore, after sighing, he stopped thinking about it.
Instead, they were waiting for the Wei Nation's ships heading south.
Two days later.
The Wei Nation's ships had arrived, and the number of his ships had officially exceeded sixty.
This was simply terrifying.
After some thought, Zhu Bai finally decided to leave those arrow boats behind before entering the river.
Although he was prepared to make a high-profile trip to the capital this time.
However, it was not good to be too high-profile.
Especially the arrow ships, which were obviously the existence of terrifying battles.
However, even if the arrow boats were left behind, he still had more than 40 ships.
After entering the inland river, it was connected to heaven and earth.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of countless people on both sides of the river.
Even the officials along the way were shocked.
Only when they confirmed that it was King Qiong's ship did they heave a sigh of relief.
Jinling was the only city in the south of the four ancient capitals of China. It was also the only capital city on the ancient Huaxia maritime Silk Road. With its geographical advantage of being connected to the river and the sea and its historical status as the capital of ten dynasties, it became an important node city on the ancient maritime Silk Road.
After the fleet entered the Yangtze River, they would reach Nanjing directly.
And with Zhu Bai's fanfare, the news quickly spread to the capital.
When Zhu Bai and his group arrived at Jinling.
Old Zhu had already received the news.
At the court meeting.
Old Zhu's face darkened.
In fact, at this moment, he was already considering how to deal with Zhu Bai.
With such a large fleet, it was hard for him to imagine just how much of the people's wealth Zhu Bai had gathered to reach this stage.
Facing the emperor's expression.
Everyone present did not even dare to breathe.
Even the Crown Prince couldn't help but frown.
Zhu Biao originally thought that if he didn't take it too seriously, he could just scold his twelfth brother.
However, the current situation did not seem to be right.
Even he couldn't help but fall silent.
The ministers sized up Old Zhu from the corner of their eyes.
His Majesty was known for being cruel to those who took bribes and perverted the law.
To punish corrupt officials with cruel laws. His determination, strength, and precision had been greatly deterred. In the past few years, he had launched countless large-scale anti-corruption campaigns, such as the Guo Huan case and the Kongyin case. The number of people killed was simply uncountable.
Now, he was facing his son.
The ministers were also thinking about how to deal with this person.
"After that unfilial son enters the city, immediately bring him to court.”
"If you resist, take him down on the spot!"
Old Zhu said coldly.
His words made the Crown Prince's jewelry tremble.
He wanted to say something, but in the end, he restrained himself.
Old Zhu suppressed his anger to the extreme.
But Zhu Bai didn't know.
The moment they reached the shore.
He could be said to be even more high-profile than Zhu Di.
He directly opened the cargo boxes one by one.
The bags of food dazzled everyone's eyes.
Not to mention the carts of dried fish.
And this was not the end.
When a ship behind them docked.
The carriages were almost shining yellow and shiny.
The entire port went crazy.
"This, this is?"
"This is gold!"
"Heavens, how much gold is this!"
"Oh my god!"
.......
Exclamations spread across the entire street.
The entire port instantly fell into a frenzy.
As Zhu Bai moved forward, countless commoners could not help but follow beside him.
In an instant, Zhu Bai had practically become everyone's crowd.
And at this moment, some of the people whom Zhu Bai had already arranged were telling the commoners stories that they had already made up.
Such a high profile.
Naturally, Zhu Bai did not simply want to return to his hometown with wealth.
More importantly, it was for his own purpose.
As for his purpose…
Of course, it was to trick more people into going under his rule.
There was nothing more attractive than the piles of food and the glittering gold.
As for the people who were arranged, some of them were from the system, while others were first-time immigrants.
Under such circumstances, his persuasiveness was almost guaranteed.
In fact, the effect was simply a bug-level existence.
