As the saying goes, you don't worry about scarcity but inequality. Perhaps the biggest resentment in Zhu Ping's heart is Lao Zhu's partiality.

Although Lao Zhu preferred him to his other sons, he was filled with resentment whenever he thought that the throne could only be passed down to his eldest brother.

He is also the legitimate son!

And he was the oldest after his eldest brother died!

Why can't he be the prince?

"Zhu Yunxi, the Ming Dynasty belongs not only to your grandpa Huang, but also to us vassal kings!"

"Your imperial grandfather has been influenced by those corrupt scholars. He would rather pass the throne to the young master than to his son. This is a very dangerous thing!"

"The young master, the country, is doubtful, and the world is uneasy. It is the blessing of the country to have an elder king in the country!"

"As the second son of the emperor and the eldest person after your father's death, why can't I compete for the position of prince?"

"Furthermore, before you even take charge of the government, you have already made the Ming Dynasty miserable and the people are in dire straits. When you really become the emperor in the future, will the Ming Dynasty be turned upside down?"

The more Zhu Feng talked, the angrier he became. Apparently he was trapped in his own situation and couldn't extricate himself.

Zhu Yunxi just listened quietly, and did not speak until Zhu Ping finished complaining.

"It seems that my second uncle has read a lot of books recently, and he even knows about Master Shaoguo's doubts."

"You accuse me of not knowing how to govern a country. Then tell me how well you manage a feudal country?"

"Is the people in your feudal country living well?"

"Besides, my new tax system was approved by the Emperor. You don't think you are wiser than the Emperor, right?"

"Forget about these things, let's talk about how to deal with you."

"I plan to report to Grandpa Huang and ask you to go out to sea with the fleet to test my hypothesis. When you get to the sea, I will secretly order someone to throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"

When Zhu Xi heard this, he was dumbfounded. This nephew was so cruel. He was having a pleasant conversation just now, but why did he suddenly turn against him and say that he was going to throw himself into the sea?

"Zhu Yunxi, you can't do this!"

"What can I say? I'm also your second uncle. You can't harm your clan members!"

Zhu Yunxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He scared Zhu Ping and walked outside. Zhu Ping hurriedly caught up with Zhu Yunxi and hugged Zhu Yunxi's thigh without letting go.

"Eldest nephew, if we have something to talk about, you must not be thrown into the sea and fed to the fishes by me..."

"I promise not to go against you in the future, just let me stay in the capital, wuwuwu..."

"Come here!"

"Hurry up and pull King Qin away. I will have people from Jing Haijun come over to pick him up later. Let him go to the ship to adapt for a few days first!"

"promise!"

Under the strong pull of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Ping was pulled into the house. However, seeing that the struggle was hopeless, Zhu Ping returned to his true colors and began to curse Zhu Yunxi endlessly.

However, no matter how much Zhu Xi cursed him, he could not prevent him from being taken to Jing Haijun.

When Zhu Ping arrived at Jinghai Navy, he was taken on board the same day and followed the coastal patrol ships to inspect the Ming Dynasty waters.

This made Zhu Xiang, a landlubber, very unhappy. He was so seasick that he even vomited bile.

It was not until ten days later that he gradually adapted to the bumps on the ship and could calmly watch the scenery on the deck.

Although Zhu Xi was now a commoner of Qin, no one on the ship dared to ask him to work. They just followed the order of the emperor's grandson and let Zhu Xi sneak off the ship.

Zhu Xi now lives every day as if it is his last, insisting on going to the deck every day to enjoy the scenery.

Because he knew that he would be drowned by Zhu Yunxi's turtle grandson, Zhu Ping was no longer as hateful as before. He also treated the sergeants on the ship much kindly and no longer acted like a prince.

Because there is really no need to swing. Whenever there is a storm, everyone on the ship must work together. Even he, the prince, must follow along to drag the cables and furl the sails.

On the boundless sea, this ship is everything they have, and it is the sustenance of their wealth and life.

After Zhu Yunxi threw Zhu Ping into the boat, he began to build momentum in the Ming Dynasty.

He first found a few people to argue in the newspaper whether the earth was round or square. The two sides went back and forth for a while, and then he, the emperor's grandson, stood up and put forward the point of view that the sky is round and the earth is round.

Then in order to verify this point of view, we formed an army and asked them to start from the Ming Dynasty, march in the direction of the setting sun, and circle the earth...

Although Zhu Yunxi had long known that the earth was round, in order to trigger the Ming Dynasty's exploration of the New World, he still had to use some tricks.

Fortunately, he had already trained the voyage mascot Ma He, allowing him to follow the Ming Dynasty's ocean fleet on missions to Southeast Asia and Africa, and accumulated rich navigation experience.

As long as his campaign is completed, Ma He can lead the Ming Dynasty's fleet to sail around the world.

In order for Ma He to complete this great feat with peace of mind, Zhu Yunxi gave Ma He many privileges and equipped him with the latest radio transmitter launched by the institute.

While Zhu Yunxi was busy making various preparations before going to sea, there was also an upsurge of discussion in the Ming court.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty no longer cared about the trivial matter of land taxation, and spent their free time discussing whether the earth was round or square.

Among them, officials from the Ministry of Industry were the most quarrelsome, and Shangshu Qin Kui even started a gambling game at the Ministry of Industry, pitting those who supported the local theory against those who supported the round theory.

As for him, the minister, he did not help each other and acted as an arbiter.

During the intense discussion at the Ministry of Works, Lao Zhu was also chatting with Tang He and several other elderly people about the matter.

"Do you think the earth is really round?"

"If the earth is round, then why didn't we fall?"

Tang He and others were only responsible for chatting with Lao Zhu, they didn't care about the round sky and the earth.

But Tang He was an old fox, so he hurriedly followed, making Lao Zhu laugh.

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether the earth is square or round, but I know one thing, that is, no matter whether the earth is round or square, I just need to remember that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. It is enough.

Got it!"

When Fu Youde and others heard this, they all secretly gave a thumbs up to Tang He, the old fox.

This old man is so awesome, so flattering!

Lao Zhu also laughed out loud at Tang He's words, pointing at him and scolding the old fox.

Just as they were laughing, Zhu Yunxuan ran in jumping up and down.

"Grandpa Huang, I know whether the earth is square or round. I learned it in school..."

"oh?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was about to ask, but Tang He on the side beat him to it.

"Grandson of the Fourth Emperor, please explain to us whether the earth is round or square!"

"OK!"

"According to what we were taught in school, the earth is round. The earth we are stepping on is a big ball floating in the dark sky.

In the universe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzledly after hearing this.

"Then why can't we fall?"

"Because the earth has gravity!"

"Like apples on a tree, why do they fall from the tree when ripe instead of flying into the air?"

"It's because the earth is attractive to the things on it, attracting them to prevent them from falling..."

"Who taught you this?"

"It's a gentleman from Hope School, but according to the gentlemen, they also learned it from the third brother. They also said that it is called Zhu Yunxi's Three Laws..."

Several old men in the Yangxin Hall were all attracted by "Zhu Yunxi's Three Laws", but Zhu Yunxi, a loser, couldn't understand it at all, and they became more and more confused as they listened.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunxuan didn't come here to talk about this. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly stuffed a note into Lao Zhu's hand. After receiving the note, Lao Zhu secretly opened it and took a look while serving tea.

His brows wrinkled on the spot.

"Come here, call us the Emperor's Grandson and let him tell us in person!"

Not long after, Qin Deshun came running back.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's grandson doesn't have time.

, is playing with the machine with a eunuch named Ma He."

"What machine?"

"Did you say call the transmitter?"

"A thing that allows people to communicate thousands of miles!"

"oh?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his curiosity became even more intense. Thinking that nothing happened in the near future, he took a few old friends to the Wenhua Palace.

When Lao Zhu and others came over, Zhu Yunxi and Ma He were using the transmitter to write letters, and the room was filled with ticking, ticking sounds.

Lao Zhu approached Zhu Yunxi, looked at the machine Zhu Yunxi was playing with, and asked curiously.

"Dasun, is this something that can communicate thousands of miles?"
