Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

The pursuit of knowledge and exploration of the unknown is common to all human beings and civilizations.

Although there is no record of this in history.

But the truth of history is constantly being discovered and updated.

No one can guarantee that before Columbus, American civilization was completely isolated from the outside world - the American civilization's exploration of the outside world, the flow of sea water, the migration of animals, and even the fact that someone set foot in America first, are just not recorded in a grand manner - there are always infinite possibilities for everything in the world.

For example, more than a thousand years ago, Wan Zhen of the Three Kingdoms period wrote a book called "Records of Strange Things in Southern Provinces", which recorded information about Rome... and many other overseas countries.

When Zhu Yunhuan saw this information on the Internet.

I was deeply shocked.

By the Ming Dynasty, China's exchanges with other continents and countries had become quite prosperous.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang issued maritime bans many times, this kind of exchange still continued.

So……

Is there a slight chance, one in a million, one in a billion, that such a coincidence would happen in the Ming Dynasty?

Although the probability is extremely small.

But what if? — That would be enough merit for canonization for eternity!

So Zhu Yunhuan, holding on to this slight hope, drew a picture for Ma Sanbao and asked him to pay close attention.

As for where to start.

Of course, that would be at the morning market where overseas merchants appear, and you must go there at the earliest possible time.

This is because the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy of "not allowing an inch of ship to go to sea" from the very beginning of its founding. Later, it gradually abolished the coastal shipping office and prohibited overseas merchants from trading among private individuals.

But the more this happens, the higher the value of overseas treasures among the people will naturally rise.

High risks bring high profits.

Driven by huge profits, this kind of thing can never be stopped.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have spared no effort to issue policies to implement the maritime ban in the 30th year of Hongwu.

So it is.

There have always been overseas merchants operating in the gray area among the people.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Prefecture was one of the most prosperous places, so there was naturally no shortage of foreign merchants of this kind.

This is also a one in ten thousand chance for Zhu Yunhuan.

So Zhu Yunhuan thought he could give it a try and asked Ma Sanbao to go to the earliest morning market every day to contact those foreign merchants.

Anyway, he has a good attitude.

If it’s not found, then it’s not found. It’s within expectations and I don’t suffer any loss.

If I found it——well, this is the result now!!

How many people can have enough food to eat in this era?

Not to mention having enough to eat, it’s already difficult to just have food to eat.

He can sit in this position today.

Isn't it because that cheap emperor had no food to eat and his whole family starved to death, so he rebelled against the Yuan court and set up his own regime?

What does sweet potato vine mean.

it goes without saying.

Although he now sits on the throne, he wants to arrange for people to go out to sea and then make a round trip to America in a short period of time - the previous bans, manpower, money, materials, technology, the court that has not yet been completely stabilized, and the vassal kings abroad - all of them are obstacles.

He lacks time!

therefore.

After hearing what Ma Sanbao said.

Zhu Yunhuan's heart began to beat wildly, his handsome face turned slightly red, and even his hands were shaking...

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

In Ma Sanbao's impression.

His Highness has never behaved so badly before.

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan like this, Ma Sanbao immediately frowned, his face full of anxiety.

Sweet potato vine.

A vine that he had only seen in his own prince's paintings.

He didn't know what this thing was either.

It's just that his Highness seemed to want this thing very much, so in the seven or eight years before that, he would get up early almost every day and go shopping in those morning markets.
