After Zhu Yunwen heard Grandpa Huang's instructions, he quickly took out a few pieces of white paper from his sleeves and presented them to Liu He.
Liu He took the white paper and handed it to His Majesty.
"Grandpa Emperor, please look at this. This is painted by Pirma Heima. It is the building he saw in Samarkand."
"In my grandson's heart, the Ming Dynasty has always been the most powerful, no matter how far away it is, but when I saw these buildings, I realized that they were also very powerful on the other side."
"They have a culture comparable to ours, and Pilma Heima told me that his grandfather Timur would launch a war against the Roman Empire."
"In Pilma Heima's heart, the current Rome is no match for his grandfather."
Zhu Yunwen talked in detail about everything about Pierma Heima and Timur.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the tall buildings shown in the painting. From a visual perspective, these buildings were much taller and more majestic than the Ming Dynasty Palace.
"Dasun, come and take a look too."
After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he passed it on to Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying took the painting and took a look at it.
It immediately felt extremely familiar.
It turns out that Europe already had such buildings at this time.
After Zhu Ying read it, he sighed in his heart. Not only now, but even six hundred years later, these castles, churches, and city halls are still in use.
These very modern buildings gave Zhu Ying a strong sense of fragmentation at this moment.
"Have you seen the eldest grandson?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
What he saw in Da Sun's expression was not surprise or shock, but something very familiar.
Zhu Ying paused slightly and replied: "My grandson has never seen it with his own eyes, but he has heard many overseas businessmen talk about it, and has also seen many portraits of overseas buildings."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked: "From this point of view, Samarkand's strength cannot be underestimated, and it can even be comparable to our Ming Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh and said: "Actually, our impression of Timur is quite good. Five years ago, Timur sent people to pay tribute and congratulate him."
"We originally thought that although Samarkand is not small, it is not too big either. Unexpectedly, he is almost the same as our Ming Dynasty."
"Looking at it this way, he is really ambitious."
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has such a favorable impression has a lot to do with Timur being the first head of state among Western countries to recognize the Ming Dynasty and send a mission to pay tribute.
This is paying tribute, not paying tribute.
Paying tribute means that a minister pays taxes to the king.
If the princes are against the emperor.
This also means that Timur placed himself in a very low position.
However, Da Sun once told him how powerful Timur's empire was, otherwise he would really have been kept in the dark.
"Grandpa, Samarkand actually has a huge problem. If this problem is not solved, Samarkand will fall apart sooner or later. Besides, they don't have the ability to solve this problem."
Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What's the problem? Let's talk about it."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "My grandson's chamber of commerce has many partners in Samarkand. Timur is currently fighting wars everywhere, and the territory is expanding very rapidly, but the conquered land is not well managed."
"Now those conquered lands seem to have no problems, but in fact many indigenous people are secretly waiting for the opportunity."
"Once Timur was defeated or suffered huge losses on a certain battlefield, a fire in the backyard was inevitable."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "What do you think will happen if Tamerlane fights with our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Ying smiled and replied: "Whoever strikes first will lose."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "What Da Sun said makes sense, we don't bother to care about this matter in Samarkand."
"No matter what he thinks, after all, he is a minister to our Ming Dynasty."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he thought for a while and then continued: "But our Ming Dynasty cannot rest on its laurels. We must also go to overseas countries to see what other people are like."
"Let's build a large fleet and have enough soldiers to load our Ming Dynasty's goods."
"On the one hand, it is to show the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty and to intimidate those small countries. On the other hand, it is also to learn more about overseas countries."
Zhu Ying was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Isn’t this a new version of Zheng He’s voyages to the West?
However, Zhu Ying is still relatively supportive of this.
"When the Japanese are defeated next year and our fleet is freed up, we can let them roam around as Grandpa said."
"It's also a good way to understand the customs and customs of each country."
Zhu Ying agreed.
At this moment, Zhu Ying suddenly felt that letting Zhu Di go on a trip to the West seemed to be a good choice.
But it's still early, so there's no need to rush to choose someone with the old man.
Zhu Yunwen was below, watching his eldest brother and Grandpa Huang chatting like this, and seemed to have almost forgotten about himself.
Moreover, he seemed to have known about the buildings he had never seen before for a long time.
I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Zhu Ying noticed this very keenly. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Yunwen, before you come, please talk to your grandfather about the laws of the Ming Dynasty for your brother's sake."
"Now we have to revise the Ming Dynasty laws. I wonder if Yunwen will be free."
