In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Li Zhizao, the young minister of Taipu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, produced the earliest world map, the Complete Map of All Countries.

The comprehensive map of the world that Cao Zhengchun presented at this time was a full 70 years earlier than the one in history.

Moreover, because this map is based on the knowledge of a modern man named Cao Zhengchun, it is far more comprehensive and accurate than the version produced after 70 years.

For example, the original Wanguo Kanyu map did not even include Australia, because Australia was not discovered for the first time until 168 years after the thirty-sixth year of Wanli.

But Cao Zhengchun accurately drew the Australian continent. With ulterior motives, he even marked various countries and the resource distribution of each continent under the map: copper, iron, gold, silver, cash crops and special livestock...

Cao Zhengchun is a brain-burning puzzle fanatic who loves history, geography, philosophy, mathematics and mysticism. He can even draw world maps of most eras in ancient and modern times with his bare hands.

He also knew why Zheng He's voyages to the West were nearly a century ahead of the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, but he did not open up colonies like those Western countries.

The reason is simple, because there is no profit.

At the beginning, Zheng He sailed with the purpose of showing off his power. He naturally set his sights on a high position. He only saw the vulgarity of the barbarians and it was difficult to educate them, so he blindly regarded himself as the king of heaven and treated them.

Dismissive.

Therefore, Zheng He did not see the wealth buried deep in the soil of the New World, nor did he see the potential of the indigenous people. He believed that seizing their land would only consume the national power of the Ming Dynasty, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

Perhaps in Zheng He's eyes, they could only be regarded as livestock. After all, Zheng He was also a well-educated eunuch, so he was naturally familiar with the teachings of saints:

"You call them barbarians, but they are inhumane."

Therefore, for hundreds of years after Zheng He, China had a fixed impression of the outside world that the barbarians were rude, barren and impoverished, which also laid the seeds for the subsequent isolation of the country.

But now Cao Zhengchun wrote all the benefits that could be gained from going to sea on the map and clearly placed them in front of the emperor, just to tie Emperor Zhengde to him and push the giant ship of Ming Dynasty.

The world's oceans set sail.

Land, wealth, and a name in history...

When you go to sea, everything is at your fingertips!

Without going to sea, the name Emperor Zhengde will be remembered in history books as a dandy emperor who could not hold up the wall.

Where to go?

Zhu Houzhao, who has always been very fond of success, faced this kind of problem, so it was obvious how he should choose. From the moment he saw the map, Zhu Houzhao's ambition had spread from the Tatar grasslands to the entire world!

Cao Zhengchun, who was across the table, saw a flash of emotion on Zhu Houzhao's face, and his eyes narrowed slightly in an instant. There were countless calculations in Cao Zhengchun's mind, starting from this small palace and covering the whole world.

The two people in the palace were giving directions, but it was already sunset outside.

By the time Cao Zhengchun came out of the palace, the sky had completely darkened. A young eunuch held a lantern and walked in front of him. Cao Zhengchun followed him silently, but in his mind he was thinking about the conversation between himself and Zhengde in the palace.

"Of course I trust you, but I can't take action against Tiedan Shenhou without any reason until he is actually planning to rebel.

After all, Shenhou is my imperial uncle and a relative of the emperor. If I believe your words and punish him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the clan?

I know that you and the emperor have always been at odds with each other, but because of this, your identification has made it more difficult to silence everyone in the world. Don’t mention this matter again!"

"...This matter is due to Wei Chen's lack of consideration, so if Lord Tieteng blocks our way..."

"Then let me run over you! Before fighting against the outside world, you must first settle down at home. No one can stop me from my plan to go to sea, not even the emperor's uncle!"

Emperor Zhengde's Yazi didn't look very smart on the surface, but he was by no means a foolish emperor.

The No. 1 Middle School in the World seems to have both the domineering Dongchang and the autocratic Hulong Villa, but among the people, the world is peaceful and the country is stable.

It can be seen that all of this is actually under Zhu Houzhao's control.

The so-called way of the emperor is the way of balance, and Zhu Houzhao is a master who is well versed in this way. With one hand in Dongchang and the other in Hulong Villa, he is very skilled in the game.

"Zhu Houzhao still doesn't trust himself, and he still hasn't given up on the idea of ​​letting Hulong Villa and Dongchang check and balance each other." Cao Zhengchun sneered as he walked.

Emperor, indeed no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.

But this is not a problem. The main purpose of Cao Zhengchun's trip is to ignite Zhu Houzhao's ambition. He never thought that he could defeat the Iron Dan God Marquis with his empty words.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Cao Zhengchun's plan has just begun. When Zhu Houzhao sees the tangible benefits, he will naturally tie himself step by step for the benefits, and eventually become a grasshopper on a rope.

Cao Zhengchun here is scheming, and Zhu Houzhao in the palace is also the same.

He sat on the dragon bed and meditated silently, his face illuminated by the candlelight was uncertain, but the corner of his mouth had the same sneer as Cao Zhengchun.

The emperor was suspicious, and Zhu Houzhao was no exception. He believed that the map should be true, but he did not believe it at all when Cao Zhengchun said that he only wanted fame.

"Want fame rather than fortune?

Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun, you underestimate me too much. Even though I have not learned anything since I was a child, I still know that only children choose and adults want everything.

But if we want to colonize the sea as you said, the Ming Dynasty still needs you as a hungry wolf. I have to reuse it. Eunuch Cao, you will really cause me problems.

That's all, use the eagle to hunt the sheep, cut the meat to feed the eagle, use the dogs to chase the deer, and abandon the bones to the dogs.

Because you are still of great use, I won’t expose you, but don’t hesitate to advance or retreat, Eunuch Cao..."

Have a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, Cao Zhengchun, who had been scheming with Emperor Zhengde last night, appeared in front of the gate of the No. 1 Village in the World.

He was wearing a red python suit, black soap boots, and riding a tall horse. Although his hair was white, his face was so majestic that no one dared to look directly at him.

Cao Zhengchun silently stared at the gate of Hulong Villa without saying a word. Behind him, there were a large number of royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives on their waists. Behind them, there were densely packed guards wearing pointed hats and white leather boots.

Brown clothes, Dongchang fanzi with a small ribbon.

The complicated but not chaotic factory guards stood majestically, blocking the gate of the No. 1 Village in the World.

Crunch——

The door was carefully opened a small crack, and then closed with a bang. It seemed that the handyman who opened the door discovered the formation outside and hurriedly went to report the news.

Cao Zhengchun had no expression on his face, and he waved out his palm, turning into a huge handprint of Gangqi in the air, and struck hard at the closed door.

Soon enough, a figure descended from the sky, slashing out a solid sword a few feet long, blocking Cao Zhengchun's big hand seal of Gang Qi with an indomitable and decisive momentum.

The Dao Gang collided with the handprints and disappeared in an instant, but behind the Dao Gang, there were countless hidden weapons like stars.

The sword gang and the big hand seal disappeared, and the hidden weapons in the sky behind them hit Cao Zhengchun like a downpour, colorful and misty, like a dream, and dazzling.

Dominant sword!

Money rains all over the sky!

Cao Zhengchun's pupils shrank, and he jumped up from the saddle. The thick and powerful Gang Qi in his body suddenly exploded, blasting away the densely packed hidden weapons with incomparable force and force.

Tiangang Boy Kung Fu!

In an instant, the entire gate was filled with strong winds and fierce momentum!

Cao Zhengchun, who was in the air, after defeating the hidden weapon, fell back on his horse again. He stared at the swordsman falling from the sky and the young master who walked out of the gate. He said without blushing or out of breath:

"Gui Hai Yi Dao, Shangguan Haitang, the two of you broke into the palace without permission. I, the governor, will personally come to arrest you and bring you to justice. You must be arrested as soon as possible!"
