There is a pavilion on the mountain.

Zhu Gaoxu signaled Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing to take their seats.

As for the eunuch Haishou, he left tactfully and returned to Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory.

Nie Xing led members of the Luowang organization to guard outside the pavilion, and no one was allowed to spy on the conversation.

It’s okay to say that Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, was a clerk of the Han Wang, and everyone knew about this.

However, Yang Shiqi, the prime minister of the South China Sea, is different.

When Yang Shiqi was the first bachelor of the cabinet, he was the representative of the number one prince and gentry, and he repeatedly targeted the Han King Zhu Gaoxu.

As a result, His Highness the King of Han did not spoil him and seized an opportunity to send Yang Shiqi to the old port of Nanyang.

It seems to be a slap, but it is actually a training.

It turns out that gold can shine anywhere.

With his own talent and ability, Yang Shiqi made a name for "South Ocean Prime Minister" in Southeast Asia and surrendered seven kings of the Ming Dynasty, including Zhao King Zhu Gaosui.

These master princes of the Ming Dynasty were all arrogant, domineering and arrogant nobles.

Just a King of Zhao, Zhu Gaoshu, is enough to make people feel troublesome.

But Yang Shiqi really did it, and the title of the Nanyang Prime Minister even resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty!

Even Zhu Gaoxu admired this talent.

"The famous scholar Su Qin of ancient times, who joined forces with the six kingdoms to carry Qin, and also wore the seal of the six kingdoms, and became the prime minister of the six kingdoms."

"Now, the famous prime minister Yang Shiqi, has been struggling to attack the seven countries in the South China Sea and is the prime minister of the seven countries!"

"Husky, you really gave me a huge surprise!"

Hearing His Highness the King of Han’s praise, Yang Shiqi felt a sense of joy for no reason.

But he was Yang Shiqi after all, and he was not really confused yet.

"Your Highness praised the name of the Prime Minister of the South China Sea, just a joke."

"If you don't joke, it's another story. If you can subdue the third brother's stubborn donkey, you are already considered capable!"

Zhu Gaoxu gave him a thumbs up, which was a sincere praise.

Yang Shiqi smiled but said nothing. After a moment of silence, he asked questions he was concerned about.

"Your Highness, Yang Pu and Yang Rong... are they all good now?"

After all, the three of them once joined the cabinet together and fought against the ill-hearted King of Han Zhu Gaoxu. Their personal relationships have always been good.

However, when Yang Shiqi was in Nanyang, he had heard a few words. Relying on the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Rong opposed His Highness the King of Han many times, and finally seemed to be thrown into the imperial prison and his life and death were unknown.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with a smile, "Okay, we're doing well!"

"Yang Rong was humiliated last time and was dismissed by me. After being dismissed by the king, he was sent to the governor of Lingbei Province and served as the governor of the position."

"In the past three years, Yang Rong has washed away all the dew and light in the bitter and cold land of Lingbei."

"In the last battle of Lingbei, the Mongolian tribes that surrendered to our Ming Dynasty were impressed by Yang Rong, especially the three Uryanha tribes at both ends of the rat, who were evenly selected as typical cleanings. Now the things at both ends of the rat have been almost completely cleaned up, and all the tribes are left with awe and fear of the Ming Dynasty!"

"These are small things, mainly the development work of Lingbei Province. Yang Rong did a good job. My brother's suggestion and the early investment of the imperial court, now many cities and villages have been built in Lingbei, and the military farms have gradually recovered and the number is increasing, and it has entered a virtuous cycle."

"Although the court still needs to subsidize money, grain and materials, as long as Lingbei develops handicrafts and combines the advantages of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing and hunting, I believe that it will not take long before Lingbei will once again achieve 'poverty in the south of the Yangtze River and rich in the north'!"

In the past, the Lingbei Province, as the Longxing land of the Great Mongol Empire, was vigorously developed by the Mongolian and Yuan court. Even after the Yuan Dynasty ancestor Kublai Khan entered the Central Plains, he did not forget to invest his manpower and material resources to develop the Lingbei Province, so that the Lingbei Province was "poverty in the south of the Yangtze River and rich in the north" in less than a hundred years.

It is actually not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to achieve this.

The only difficulty is that some short-sighted dogs in the court are now starting to jump up again, shouting "A land of a deserted rib in the north of Lingbei", "Due to waste the people and money", etc.

After three years of the Southeast Asian War, Yang Shiqi is no longer a military idiot three years ago.

He naturally could see the importance of Lingbei Province, so he even sneered at the saying of "abandoned land".

However, it is worth mentioning that what those people said is actually not without reason.

The fundamental reason is that if the court wants to completely control Lingbei, it will require unimaginable massive amounts of money and food in the early stage!

If the Lingbei Province cannot be self-sufficient in one day, the imperial court will pay money and grain to Lingbei in one day!

It’s no wonder that the lords in the court strongly opposed it!

After all, they did not get any benefits from the Lingbei Province. Instead, they had to watch the huge amount of money and grain being invested in this useless place. Wasn't that intentionally disgusting people?

Yang Shiqi smiled and expressed his guess, which made His Highness the King of Han laugh.

This Yang Shiqi     It’s really mature!

Seeing this, Yang Shiqi laughed and said, "If His Highness the King of Han can turn decay into magic like before and turn this useless land in Lingbei Province into fertile land, those noble people would like to kill to Lingbei Province immediately!"

He said so casually, but unexpectedly it really led to a shocking news.

The Prince of Han took a sip of tea slowly and then said in a deep voice: "It is not impossible. After the Japanese country became Ningguo, Zheng He's fleet went to sea two years ago. I asked them to find the "God Seed"!"

Yang Shiqi: "???"

What?

God seed?

No way?

Is there really a seed of gods?

How is this possible?

Yang Shiqi suddenly stood up in surprise and looked at His Highness the King of Han in disbelief.

When he first heard the word "God Seed" it was the first time when Zheng He went to sea and was about to come back.

At that time, everyone just thought that the Han prince was either crazy or wanted to deceive His Majesty the Emperor, and no one took this matter seriously.

However...just look at the attitude of the Prince of Han...

Yang Shiqi swallowed with difficulty, and whispered with a hard temper: "Your Highness, do you really have a seed of gods?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him with a smile, then spread his hands, and smiled helplessly: "With my king's power and status, and the friendship between you and me, is there still a need to deceive you now?"

"Zheng He and the others did not go before because there was a problem with the warship structure of the Navy Fleet. The flat-bottomed sand ships and the pointed-bottomed blessed ships were made of mortise and tenon structures. They did not have very thick main keels and the hull was completely insufficient. Therefore, heavy artillery could not be installed on the ship, nor could they cross the ocean!"

"But fortunately, this problem was solved by two top craftsmen from Longjiang Shipyard two years ago. I rewarded them with daughters each, and even wanted to accept them as adopted sons!"

"Husky, do you know what this problem means?"

Yang Shiqi was stunned.

He looked at Prince Han who suddenly became excited and subconsciously shook his head.

Zhu Gaoxu also stood up, his face flushed with excitement, and even his veins bulged.

"Yes, you don't know!"

"You don't know except for this king!"

"High artillery board the ship and cross the ocean!"

"This means that a great era of navigation has arrived!"
