Chapter 664 Maritime Trade After this conversation, the fate of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be riding on the wheel of the times, forging ahead bravely. In the following months, Zhu Yuanzhang personally supervised and Lin Che secretly operated. The Ming Dynasty's maritime trade plan was in full swing. Huge sailing ships were launched one after another in the shipyards of Jiangnan. Merchants who were ready to invest came one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang came to the shipyard for inspection many times. Together with Lin Che and you, he witnessed every voyage. Every time he stood on the high platform with them, Zhu Yuanzhang could feel the cheers and respect from the people. Once, when Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lin Che for his opinion on the prosperous scene, the national teacher just smiled and said, "The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles long, and the temperament is here. Today's actions will be remembered by future generations." Haha, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "I believe that as long as the Ming Dynasty has wise ministers like you to assist, there will be no worries in the world." In this positive and open atmosphere, maritime trade not only successfully opened up new trade routes, but also provided new hope and belonging to the refugees. They either became casualties or opened up new territories in overseas lands. This not only consolidated the border, but also built up the money and food for the Ming Dynasty and the world. With the nods of approval in the court, Lin Che's reputation was like the light of the morning sun, warm and illuminating, but he himself enjoyed the quiet shadow alone. In the fragrance of books and ink, he continued to draw the blueprint for the future. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang's reliance on Lin Che became more and more obvious. Not only did they frequently communicate with each other on past and major events, but they also privately exchanged opinions and new ideas on the management of the world. In this way, a wise monarch and an outstanding national teacher, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, brought the Ming Dynasty to one peak after another. At first, when the Sea Cat Plan was proposed, many officials in the court still had a wait-and-see attitude, thinking to themselves that the land was unexplored and it was a wild place, so how could there be much harvest? But Lin Che made it happen, with his unique foresight and wisdom, making everything possible. At a court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed very interested. He looked at the national teacher in front of him along the candlelight, with an inquiring look in his eyes, "Lin Che, I see that your ocean trade plan is going on very well. It is really admirable that you have such foresight." National teacher Ling Chi just smiled slightly, his smile was so subtle and deep, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Opening up ocean trade allows water to flow straight through my Ming Dynasty. Sharing will not overturn, but can go further." Hahaha, what a saying! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, his eyes full of approval. The Imperial Master's words were very profound. In fact, Lin Che used his profound knowledge of economics, astronomy, geography and even human nature in the implementation of the ocean trade plan. He was not only confident in the shipping routes, but also improved the shipbuilding methods and promoted the exchange of goods, which greatly improved the safety and efficiency of maritime trade. These changes enabled the Ming Dynasty's maritime strength to expand rapidly, and rare commodities from overseas began to flow into the country. The national treasury was therefore filled, and silk and porcelain became precious objects of exchange again. Since the Ming Dynasty was temporarily questioned, it promoted economic prosperity. After the banquet, the long wind blew over the brocade clothes and food, slightly lifting Lin Che's robe. He stood outside the hall, his eyes penetrating the night, as if he was talking to the wind and rain in the distance. An aristocrat from the trade union was dissatisfied and went to the side of the national teacher. The ocean trade opened by you, Ling Chi, not only benefited the Tang Dynasty, but also made our Ming Dynasty prosperous. I really underestimated you. Lin Che turned around, his eyes passed through the other person and reached the stars in the distance. "My lord, you are a child of destiny, but you cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain. Could it be that apart from the mountain, you have never seen the water?" These words left the nobles speechless. Lin Che's answer was full of philosophy and sharp sarcasm, and the people around him all listened with their heads held high and talked about it. Indeed, under the plan of ocean trade of fruits, many policies were improved. When Daming held a meeting, the benefits of foreign trade were no less than domestic taxes. Many ministers who had prejudices against Lin Che seemed to be hit hard by spring water and could no longer stand still. They could only admit that Lin Che was indeed a master. After a night of banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Lin Che. During the banquet, he said to Lin Che meaningfully: Lin Che, I know that your achievements today are not only the result of your own hard work, but also the result of your deputy general manager's day and night hard work. I wonder if you are willing to recommend a few people. I want to personally give them important tasks. The national teacher Lin Che lowered his head to think, and then answered firmly: Your Majesty is wise. Among my disciples, Lu Jing and Zhao Tianming are young and promising. They have inherited my true teachings and are capable of great use. Lin Che's recommendation is indeed a high degree of trust and affirmation of his disciples. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said nothing more that night, but at the next sunrise, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will have a new chapter. All this seems to happen quietly, but behind it are Lin Che's countless sleepless nights, observing the situation, and calculating the wind direction. With Lin Che's insightful backend, the future of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly more promising. The name of the National Master Lin Che is not as famous as those in the glorious and glorious world, but his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become an unshakable belief in the court and the people. In a quiet study deep in the imperial city, the candlelight flickered, and the National Master Lin Che leaned against a sandalwood desk, his eyes moving on the paper, and the tip of his pen was filled with ink, dancing on the rice paper. He named this masterpiece, which combines astronomy, geography, and philosophy, "Vanxiang". Lin Che's life, walking in the court, he has already seen all the prosperity and the end. At this moment, he is thinking about how to pass on his wisdom to future generations, so that this country and this world can become better because of his little efforts. For a long time, Lin Che knew astronomy, geography, and decrees. Whether it was fighting against the foreign enemies of the hell or the power strategies of Caotang at the meeting, he could always handle it with ease, but in this quiet night, he realized that compared with immediate fame, long-term wisdom inheritance is more important.

"National Master, the compilation of this Vientiane is really a great undertaking for the ages. Li Yuan, a young scholar who has been assisting Lin Che, spoke softly, breaking the silence of the study. Lin Che looked up and said with a smile: "Li Yuan, everything in the world contains the mysteries of heaven. Today I assist the country, and tomorrow I will leave sooner or later, but wisdom can be passed on. Vientiane is not only a summary of knowledge, but also a torch of wisdom, illuminating the way for future generations to force their way forward. Li Yuan's heart surged when he heard this. He had studied handwriting with the National Master for many years and knew the wisdom and mind of the National Master. At this time, she smoked a cigarette. National Master, your mind is really admired by the younger generation." Lin Che put down his pen, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and sighed softly, "Li Yuan, the stars in the sky and the rivers on the ground are all in order." (End of this chapter)
