My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Is there a possibility in Chapter 10, the fault may be you.

"How do you plan to explain it to His Majesty when you go back?"

In the cabin that was rocking back and forth, Zheng He, who had been unable to sleep for several days and his eyes were flushed from the boil, stared straight at Zhu Gaoyu, who was enjoying a massage from two beautiful foreign maids.

Today is ten days after the Ceylon incident.

With the support of Zhu Gaoyu, Jiang Yue became the new King of Ceylon. The subjects of Ceylon were very excited and warmly welcomed their new king.

It’s not enough to be enthusiastic and excited. The people in the capital of Colombo are precisely because they are not enthusiastic, so Daming let them cool down.

For the sake of their own lives, the people of Ceylon showed the greatest enthusiasm in their life to support Jiang Yue as the new king, which was more exciting than their own becoming the king.

In order to support Jiang Yue's work, Zhu Gaoyu kindly left him 500 people to help him rectify Ceylon.

Of course, as for whether it is really helping or monitoring, or there are other purposes.

Only the left-behind Daiqianhu Liu Gang knew it in his heart.

After Zhu Gaoyu returned to the fleet, Zheng He didn't say anything.

But they did not continue to let the fleet move forward to the set goal.Instead, as the commander of the ocean-going treasure ship, he ordered the fleet to turn around and return home.

Zhu Gaoyu did not raise any objection to this.

Anyway, the goods are almost sold out, and the rest can be cleaned up on the way back.

The meal needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the nails of the initial arrangements have been cast down. When the power of Daming water is absolutely mastered in the future, the search for the Australian mainland can begin.

Zhu Gaoyu had never been to the Australian mainland in his previous life, so he knew where it was, but if he wanted to find the Australian mainland, he needed to bring someone to look for it.

"Explain, why explain?"

Zhu Gaoyu, who squinted his eyes and enjoyed the beauty's massage very comfortably, replied casually.

Zhu Gaoyu's indifferent appearance made Zheng He feel depressed.

"It's fine if you take down his kingdom and capture him, even if you kill him. After all, he did offend me, Daming, but why do you still order the massacre of the city?"

"That's 6 to [-] people. Don't you have a trace of compassion and compassion in your heart?"

"Mercy, mercy!"

Zhu Gaoyu, who closed his eyes to enjoy, opened his eyes suddenly, stood up and looked at Zheng He.

Seeing this scene, the two maids of different races who were serving at the side hurriedly retreated.

As the cabin door closed, Zhu Gaoyu spoke first.

"This is a life-and-death battle. You and I represent Daming. In overseas places, every word and deed is related to the face of Daming's foreign policy."

"The magnanimity and benevolence of Confucianism can't play any role here."

Zhu Gaoyu stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, stared at Zheng He, pointed to the outside of the boat and said in a low voice: "They believe in interests, and they think that a big fist is the truth."

"You tell them the great principles of Confucianism and the benevolence of Buddhism. Congratulations, your joke is really funny, and you managed to make me laugh."

"The surname is Zheng, I can tell you this."

"If you follow your method, Da Ming may gain a good reputation for a while, but it will leave a wrong perception of me, Da Ming in their minds."

"Although Da Ming is strong, he has a problem with his brain, and he has a very good face. If he angered Da Ming, no matter how big the crime is, as long as he lowers his face and apologizes, big things can be turned into small things."

"Once this kind of thinking is fixed, it will be extremely difficult for my Ming Dynasty to communicate with the outside world in the future."

"You have to remember that a weak country has no diplomacy."

"If a court doesn't have a tough attitude and cruel methods, but only blindly pleases and makes friends, what it gets in return will not be friendship but greed."

"We, Ming Dynasty, made friends all over the world, holding steamed buns in one hand and steel knives in the other."

"We will give steamed buns to countries that respect our great Ming and small countries that are willing to obey our orders."

"And for those guys who reject our steamed buns, or even challenge our bottom line, we also need to use steel knives to teach him how to behave."

Zhu Gaoyu's words made Zheng He silent for a moment, "Maybe what you said is right, but killing in war can't solve all problems..."

"But it can solve most problems."

"For Daming, these are enough."

Before Zheng He finished speaking, Zhu Gaoyu interrupted directly.

Without waiting for Zheng He to speak again, Zhu Gaoyu continued: "The combination of kindness and power is the kingly way."

"Duke Zheng, on behalf of Ming Dynasty, you took unprecedented risks to explore the sea area to spread the prestige of Ming Dynasty and pass on the civilization of Yanhuang. I admire this very much, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart."

"But as far as Daming is concerned, some of your actions are not in the interests of Daming."

"Blindly giving will only make others think that you are being taken advantage of because you are easy to bully. If you show your fists properly and kill a chicken to show those monkeys, the monkeys can manage them better."

Reaching out to pat the chart on the table, Zhu Gaoyu affirmed:

"I can tell you this, when the news about Ceylon spreads, there will never be any country in the entire Western Ocean who would dare to make irresponsible remarks, or even go the other way, saying that Ceylon deserves to die and praise Daming for his benevolent deeds."

"You have to remember that you are an official of the Ming Dynasty first, and then a navigator and a religious believer."

"You can't reverse your identity."

"But Shi Yirende, this is an overseas national policy set by the imperial court. What you do is completely contrary to the imperial court's thinking."

Having said that, Zheng He is no longer silent, and directly pointed out that Zhu Gaoyu's actions violated the original intention and ideas of the imperial court.

Hearing what Zheng He said, Zhu Gaoyu felt angry.

The nerds in the imperial court didn't know what to think.

When dealing with countries other than Ming Dynasty, except for the enemies designated by the imperial court, as long as the other party is humble and respectful, they are all easy to talk to.

Letting others not mention it, Zhu Gaoyu was very speechless when Zheng He was conducting international trade overseas.

Traveling all the way with so many goods, when it comes to selling in various countries, the price is only increased by [-]%.

My mother is dead, is this a business?

This is his mother's doing good deeds.

The fleet went to sea this time, with the same cargo as the last time.

The last time Zheng He went back, it was calculated by Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

The goods that were pulled out were nearly 400 million taels of silver, and the items and money that Zheng He brought back were estimated to be worth 700 million taels in total.

Nearly double the benefits, looks high.

But the problem is excluding the wasted time, manpower, and the supplement of repair personnel for each ship, all miscellaneous things are counted together.

The real income is only nearly 120 million taels.

120 million taels sounds like a lot. If a family of three spends it, it will last a few lifetimes.

But for an imperial court, this amount of income is not enough. Even in Zhu Gaoyu's view, this fucking is completely losing money and making money.

Zhu Gaoyu, who couldn't see it anymore, while carrying out his own plan, also asked the old man for the job of selling things.

As for the result, one can see how much Zhu Gaoyu has gained after looking at the full ship and the full boxes of gold and silver.

According to the calculation of the instrument.

Except for the income earned empty-handed in the country of Ceylon.

The net profit from doing business this time was as high as 500 million taels.

That's right, it is the remaining income after removing all costs and expenses.

And there is still some cargo on the cargo ship, which is probably worth two or three million taels.

Calculated in this way, Zhu Gaoyu earned at least 800 million taels of silver for Daming this trip.

One almost lost money, and the other made nearly ten million taels. (Note: Not all of it is money, it also includes the value of the item in exchange.)
Comparing the two, the judgment is instantly judged.

"Run in the opposite direction!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help a chuckle, got up and looked at Zheng He and said slowly: "If my actions benefit the court, make Daming richer and stronger, and make other countries look up to them and not dare to offend, then it can only mean that the fault is not me, but you."
