Yao Guangxiao pulled Zhu Di to talk in his yard for the whole morning, and Yao Guangxiao was really talented. He told Zhu Di that Zhu Lang was very tight now, and Zhu Lang was building a treasure ship now, and this treasure ship required a lot of money.

Although Zhu Lang has multiple businesses to support him, his money is still a little unsustainable. If the Flang machine cannon is added, Zhu Lang's money will definitely be cut off. At that time, Zhu Lang will be in awkward.

At this time, Zhu Di could make a suggestion to Zhu Yuanzhang and use the Jinyiwei to search the house to relieve his pressure. However, at this time, Zhu Di must not be entangled with the Jinyiwei. He should draw a clear line with the Jinyiwei. He should make Zhu Lang a user of the Jinyiwei, so that Zhu Lang can cause dissatisfaction among the nobles who were searched and in danger of searching the house, and then evolve into an attack, waiting for Zhu Lang to fall.

At that time, Zhu Di could officially accept everything about Zhu Lang.

Yao Guangxiao also told Zhu Di that if he wanted to establish an overseas country, Liuqiu would be a good place. The so-called Liuqiu is not Ryukyu, but Liuqiu is our current treasure island.

The "Zhufan Zhi" of the Southern Song Dynasty called Taiwan Island "Liuqiuguo". Wang Dayuan, a navigator of the Yuan Dynasty, also recorded Taiwan as a country in "The Legend of the Island". "The History of the Yuan Dynasty" records that the Yuan Dynasty once sent personnel to log in to Taiwan Island to seek revenge, but because of speech improperness, three people were killed and eventually returned without success. This shows that the Yuan Dynasty did not govern the treasure island.

Zhu Yuanzhang once did not know about overseas wealth, so in order not to allow the treasury gold and silver to be used in the maritime military, the 15 "non-suffering countries" specially listed, including the 15 "non-suffering countries" Korean countries, Japan, the Great Ryukyu (Ryukyu Islands), the Little Ryukyu (Treasure Island), the Annan Kingdom (Vietnam), the Zhenla Kingdom (Cambodia), the Siam Kingdom (Thailand), the Chameng Kingdom (now southern Vietnam), the Sumatra, the Western Kingdom (now Coromandel Coast), the Jawa Kingdom, the Hoheng Kingdom (now the Malay Peninsula), the Baihua Kingdom (now northwest of Sumatra Island), the Sanfuqi Kingdom (now Palembang, Sumatra), and the Boni Kingdom (Brunei) are listed as "non-suffering countries", warning future generations not to conquer arbitrarily.

Among the countries that do not conquer, there is the Little Liuqiu Kingdom, which is now the treasure island. It also warns its descendants not to conquer. Moreover, the country has no contact with the Ming Dynasty and has never paid tribute. But now it is different. Zhu Yuanzhang knew about overseas wealth, so the fifteen countries that do not conquer have become Zhu Yuanzhang's must-conquer country.

Among them, Baodao is really suitable for a country-building place. I have to say that Yao Guangxiao has a very high vision.

Because Baodao is really a good place, it guards the key to the maritime shipping routes in Northeast Asia, and its geographical location is extremely important. It can be said that it controls the energy lifeline of South Korea and Japan.

There are also Penghu Island, Mazu Island, Kinmen Island, Taiping Island and Wuqiu Island around Baodao.

To the northeast of Baodao, there is a famous international waterway, Miyagu Strait, to the south. This is exactly the only place to travel between the Pacific Ocean along the eastern coast of the Ming Dynasty.

The Bashi Channel in the south of Baodao is also the most convenient maritime channel to enter and exit the Pacific Ocean in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

If a ship from Baodao starts directly from the east, you can enter the Pacific Ocean. It can be seen how important the geographical location of Baodao is. Looking down at Baodao from a high altitude is like a key to the Ming Dynasty's opening the Pacific gate.

In addition, Baodao also has very rich natural resources. There are many mountains here and beautiful scenery. The entire island has five major mountains, central mountains, Yushan, Alishan and Snow Mountain. There are large plains in the area facing the Ming Dynasty in the west. Most of the treasure islands live here. There are also many mountain basins in the mountains on the island, such as the Taipei Basin. These plains and basins allow the people here to have fields to cultivate and be self-sufficient.

If you take down the treasure island, you can look at the sea and look back at the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that this is definitely a treasure land. Yao Guangxiao took a fancy to this place at first sight. I have to say that he is really a pedantic man.

Zhu Di nodded repeatedly to Yao Guangxiao's request. The two of them had already made a preliminary plan together. When Zhu Di had his own fleet, the first place to attack was Baodao, and he would also ask Zhu Yuanzhang to give him Baodao.

Yao Guangxiao expressed moderate satisfaction with Zhu Di's praise of himself, and that would be fine. As long as Zhu Di could believe in himself infinitely, Yao Guangxiao's first step was achieved. What was Yao Guangxiao's ambition? It is only the tip of the iceberg now.

Just as Yao Guangxiao was analyzing his future for Zhu Di, in the Narcissus Village on the other side, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lang and asked: "Brother Lang...what do you do now? Will the Folang machine cannon be built?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Lang said slightly: "Building must be built, but I really don't have enough money to pay, so I'm going to hold a lottery to attract some money."

"Rull draw...what lottery?" Zhu Biao had a little interest in Zhu Langxin's ranking.

Zhu Lang followed Zhu Lang and told him about his lottery plan. The so-called lottery is actually a modern money-sucking routine, which was around the 1990s... In the county town of that era, a material exchange conference lasted for about one week to ten days every autumn. In an era when materials were relatively scarce and entertainment activities were poor, material exchange conferences were a major event in the entire county town. It was also very exciting and proud that children could follow adults to "get up for a meeting".

There were many entertainment activities at the material exchange conference at that time, such as big dramas, juggling, singing and dancing performances, circuses, etc. There was another kind of activity that was very popular with everyone, that was the lottery. The lottery at that time was like buying lottery tickets now, with a wide range of prizes, ranging from cars, large color TVs, and daily necessities. You only need to spend 2 yuan to get a chance to win the prize.

The lottery point will produce a picture of "2 yuan luck = Santana".

Many farmers who are rushing to the meeting will spend 2 yuan or 10 yuan to try their luck. The prizes they won were so happy, and the prizes they didn't.

Especially in newspapers, there are reports that at a temple fair, a three-year-old child was lucky enough to draw a Santana sedan. Such legends have been exaggerated again and again, and countless people are eager to get rich overnight through the lottery.

Of course, such a lottery is actually a scam. On the morning of March 23, 2004, 17-year-old Liu Liang came to the sports lottery sales site on Dong'an Street, Xi'an. There were crowds of people and a "instant lottery" lottery was being held.

But what is the truth behind the incident? Some so-called winners are simply the entrusted hiring of merchants. They create the illusion that there have always been people winning awards, thereby promoting more people's fanatical purchases. In order to make more people believe and increase the authenticity of the event, merchants will even invite some celebrities to the scene to attract more buyers.

This kind of street lottery has a big disadvantage: whether the appearance of the jackpot and when the jackpot appears is completely in the hands of the organizer. If there are many people participating in the jackpot and the sales volume is ideal, the jackpot may be released; if the sales are not ideal, the jackpot may never be touched. Even if it is touched, it is the organizer's "own person".

In the face of wealth, human nature cannot stand the test. After many lottery draws, all that are left is a waste of prize tickets and the empty pockets of many people who are red-eyed.

In modern times with sound laws, such lottery activities have long been banned, but this is the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Lang needs money, so he has to have some bad ideas. The lottery is the bad ideas that Zhu Lang thinks of temporarily.

After Zhu Lang finished talking about the lottery process, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Lang with some concern and said, "Brother Lang, this is not very good..."

To be honest, Prince Zhu Biao is still too kind and too upright, but Zhu Lang is not so upright. Zhu Lang laughed giggling: "Brother, don't worry, there will be no trouble, we will make a lot of money."

After saying that, Zhu Lang ran away with a smile, and just five days later, news of a lottery was spread in Yingtian Mansion:

Two days later, by the Qiuxin Lake, the Prince of Taiping gave back to all the people, and could get two copper coins once. His Majesty gave him the first prize if he wanted. It was worth ten thousand taels of silver, the second prize crystal products, worth three thousand taels of silver, the third prize, and the perfume set, worth one thousand taels of silver. The fourth prize, gold and silver jewelry, worth hundreds of taels of silver.

The fifth prize soap, soap, worth one or two silver taels.

Encouragement award, twenty cents, and lucky award ten cents.

Not only that, there will be many performances, acrobatics, dances, songs, etc. on the Autumn Lake that day, please come and enjoy them.

This news was spread to hundreds of miles around Yingtian in less than half a day with the artists on the flower boats on the Qinhuai River. Many people were eager to try this when they heard about this. Why... because they had two cents.

More importantly, there are performances to watch. Why not relax? This kind of mentality is not just wandering in the hearts of some people, but directly hitting the hearts of all people.

Many people who know this news are planning to take their children to Qiuxin Lake on that day and try their luck.

This kind of psychology is not only in the hearts of the people. Many middle-aged peasants, rich peasants, and rich businessmen, and even nobles are also attracted by the prizes. With the stimulation of small profits and big profits, these people quickly made a decision, that is, to go to Qiuxin Lake to find the prize in two days.

In addition to them, Wang Xue, Zhao Lianer, Xu Miaojin and others from Narcissus Village...even Zhao Ling, Deng Shou, and Dong Zheng... they all took out the silver in their pockets with some desire to try, and they also wanted to try to draw the prize.

In an instant, the prize draw created by Zhu Lang seemed to attract the whole of Yingtian!
