After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di heard Zhu Gaoye's words, they were shocked and quickly asked,
"How did you know about this silver mine in Japan?”
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di asked this question was to confirm whether Zhu Gaoye's words were true or false. If they were false, wouldn't they be happy for nothing?
One had to know that such a large silver mine could not be unknown. If it was in the Ming Dynasty, it would have long been taken over by the imperial court. How could it be discovered by Zhu Gaoye?
Moreover, this silver mine was not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the East Ocean, which was far away from the Ming Dynasty. The transportation was not as convenient as in the future. Even in the future, it was not easy to go from the Central Plains to the East Ocean.
Even though the Central Plains and the East Ocean Continent had already had dealings as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, which of these dealings wasn't fraught with danger? Which of them wasn't a narrow escape?
People only remembered those who succeeded, but there were still many who died in the sea that had not been recorded.
When the Yuan Dynasty was established, the Japanese were disobedient and threatened to attack the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan sent out hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Japanese twice, but they were defeated by typhoons at sea. He no longer had the intention to attack the Japanese.
The Japanese even thought that it was the protection of Amaterasu, and called the typhoon a divine wind.
The defeat of the war against the Japanese had also given these Japanese people inflated confidence, making them feel that they could rely on the blessings of heaven to fight against the Central Plains Dynasty. This had also become a cause for the frequent occurrence of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoye was not angry when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's questions.
Not to mention them, even if it was him, if he did not have knowledge hundreds of years in advance, he would never believe that there was such a place overseas with such a large silver mine.
However, he could not say these words to these two people because it was too unbelievable.
Zhu Gaoye quickly thought of a countermeasure. Since they were people of this era, he had to use the thinking of this era to deal with them.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Gaoye said,"
"I came across a map by chance. I don't know who drew it, but on this map, the location of this silver mine is marked.”
"So last year, I secretly brought some people out to sea and found the location of the silver mine. I happen to know some geomancy.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di heard Zhu Gaoye's words, they couldn't help but be moved. This kid was indeed resourceful. One had to know that Zhu Yuanzhang's order to ban the sea wasn't just to let the coastal people move to the mainland.
At the same time, they did not allow any sails to enter the sea to prevent the pirates from taking advantage of the situation. Even if there was a need for shipping, the imperial court would send a navy to follow.
The ships of the pirates were small and shallow, so they did not dare to provoke the navy ships of the imperial court. This was the only way to ensure their safety.
But now, Zhu Gaoye said that he had secretly gone out to sea. It could be seen that Zhu Gaoye's ability was far more than what he had exposed.
Zhu Gaoye was unaware of the changes in Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's hearts. He continued,"
"After I arrived at the location of the silver mine, I roughly calculated the reserves of the silver mine and found that the silver content in this silver mine is very rich.”
"This silver mine has not been discovered yet, so after I recorded the location, I immediately returned to the Great Ming Dynasty and prepared to find an opportunity to go out to sea again to the East Ocean to take down this silver mine.”
Zhu Gaoye's words stunned Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. They didn't expect Zhu Gaoye to go to Japan alone.
However, the two of them had no reason to refute. Although Zhu Gaoye was their relative, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know the existence of this grandson before, and the Jinyiwei could not pay attention to this person.
There were tens of millions of people in Jinling City. If everyone needed attention, the Jinyiwei would not be able to keep up.
Even if the Jinyiwei could endure it, Zhu Yuanzhang himself could not.
The last time he saw Zhu Gaoye was a few years ago, and Zhu Di had stayed in Beiping during that period. If it weren't for his brother's funeral, he wouldn't have returned to Jinling to see Zhu Gaoye.
Zhu Gaoye's words were beyond common sense, but they were somewhat normal. Because in this era, it was impossible to guess from the perspective of later generations. The teaching of different people was true, and the study of geomancy was also true. Otherwise, it was impossible to explain so many strange things. The ancients naturally did not attach so much importance to geomancy.
Therefore, after hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di chose to believe him. Otherwise, how could they explain the underground base they were in?
After listening to Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Di said worriedly,"
"Going to the East Ocean Continent is fraught with difficulties. In addition, the Great Ming's sea territory is currently unstable, and there are often Japanese pirates harassing it.”
"It's not safe for you to go out to sea alone. Once you encounter the pirates, won't you be putting yourself in danger?”
"Big Ming is big enough for you to live on, why do you have to take the risk to go to Japan alone?”
Zhu Gaoye heard Zhu Di's worried words and felt the sincerity in his words. He was also very touched. Then, he smiled confidently and said,
"I have the Fran Machine Cannon and flintlock. Why would I be afraid of them?”
"Not to mention these pirates, even if I encounter the Japanese army, I can kill them one by one.”
"In this world, no one can be a match for these Fran cannons and flintlocks.”
Zhu Gaoye shook his head and said,"
"It's just a pity that I didn't encounter these pirates, otherwise I would have made sure they never returned!”
Zhu Gaoye was not lying. If he really went out to sea, he would definitely bring these things with him. At that time, he would not encounter the Japanese pirates.
If he knew the traces of the pirates, he would definitely follow these traces to find the pirates and capture them all.
After witnessing the power of the Franc Machine Cannon and flintlock, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di naturally believed Zhu Gaoye's words.
Zhu Gaoye's words also made Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shine. As an emperor who was about to go to war, his pursuit of martial arts far exceeded other aspects.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to see his grandson because of Zhu Gaoye's saint-slaying technique.
Therefore, after listening to Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sigh in his heart.
"As expected of the child of my Zhu family. He's really hot-blooded!”
