Chen Di still gave Guo Zhiyuan some face, so he was not so polite. Chen Yourong sneered, "Does Lord Guo think I am a three-year-old child? Don't say that the court would never allow you to build such a giant city in Dongbo, even if the court allowed it, you would never be able to accomplish it. On that day, Chen was ordered to build a Wuyu Water Village, which was exhausted Chen's life savings and efforts to build it. It was more difficult for you to build such a giant city than Chen's building that day. Moreover, the population of Dongbo is sparse, and the natives of Dongbo all live on high mountains. Even if you build a giant city, there is no one living in it. Isn't it an empty city? Then what's the use of building a city?..."

Guo Zhiyuan wanted this effect. He looked at Chen Yourong and Chen Di and laughed: "Then I will bet with General Chen and Mr. Yizhai. If I cannot do it, I will let General Shen and Mr. Yizhai deal with it. If I am lucky enough, I will ask General Chen and Mr. Yizhai to stay and help me with it?..."

Chen Di had a good impression of Guo Zhiyuan. Seeing that he was confident, he was also very proud and bowed: "If Lord Guo's move is successful, it will be a great cause for thousands of years. As long as Lord Guo can let me see a glimmer of hope for success, I will be careless even if I am tragic!..."

Chen Yourong was not as easy to fool as Chen Di. He glanced at Guo Zhiyuan and said coldly: "You are a good plan. I want Chen to serve you after a few words of verbal words? If you don't say anything else, tell Chen first, where does the silver you need to build a city come from?..."

Guo Zhiyuan also knew that if he was not clear at all, he would definitely not be able to win the trust of Yu Chen Yourong and Chen, so he smiled and said, "General Chen also has the responsibility of anti-smuggling at sea as a navy. I believe that this sea trade business has made a huge profit. The sea trade transactions in Haichengyue Port alone are as numerous as millions of taels in a year. If this official could ask the court to allow the court to allow Dongfan to open a sea ban to open a sea ban, wouldn't the silver required to build a city?..."

Chen Yourong's face changed when she heard this, and she sneered: "I tell you what kind of strategy do you have? It turns out that the idea was that the forbidden sea was the national policy set by my Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. How could it be changed just by your words? It's simply a whim and impossible!..."

Guo Zhiyuan had long expected Chen Yourong to react like this, and laughed and said, "How can I know it is impossible without trying it? In the past, Emperor Chengzu (referring to Zhu Di) sent Zheng He to the West, and the Ming Dynasty was in the prosperous era of Yongle. It was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty to open a ban on sea trade. Does General Chen not want my Ming Dynasty to be strong?..."

This is just a matter of Chen Yourong's heart. Of course, he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would be strong, and he also vaguely felt that the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy restricted the development of the Ming Dynasty, especially now that the Ming Dynasty's national strength is declining, the national treasury is empty. If the sea ban can be opened and the sea trade can be opened, it may be able to restore some vitality and reappear in the prosperous era!

Chen Yourong's face was unstable, and he thought for a while and said, "What you said is reasonable. If you really can let the court allow Dongfan to open a ban on sea trade, Chen will bet with you and let you drive it!"

When Guo Zhiyuan heard this, he was overjoyed. He had been coveting Chen Yourong for a long time. He could make his idol a general under his command. It was so satisfying to think about it, so he laughed and said, "With General Chen and Mr. Yizhai helping each other, why worry about the big thing going to happen! Haha!..."

Chen Yourong poured a pot of cold water on Guo Zhiyuan and said, "Don't be happy too early. In Shen's opinion, this matter will be difficult to accomplish. Not to mention the court, even the governor, you would not be able to explain it. You'd better make plans early to avoid implicating Chen with you..."

When talking about Xu Xueju, Guo Zhiyuan also put away his smile. The thing he was most worried about now was that Xu Xueju made a stumbling block for him. He seemed to have made great contributions to quell the rebellion, but he also violated the taboos in the officialdom. Without the orders of superiors, he acted privately. The greater the contribution he made, the more he would be jealous. At this time, Xu Xueju, Shen Yizhong and others were probably already treating him as a thorn in their eyes, and would definitely try to erase his contributions, especially his occupation of Dongfan was not in accordance with the rules, and Xu Xueju and others would definitely seize this matter and make a big fuss!

So now Guo Zhiyuan must compete with Xu Xueju and others for time, and let the court make a final decision on this matter before they can. Guo Zhiyuan has already made plans for this, but he cannot leave now. He must wait for Shen Junrong to bring the senior officers with the Xinxing Army and arrange the follow-up matters before leaving with confidence.

Guo Zhiyuan was thinking, and the personal guard in charge of the guard in front suddenly exclaimed: "There is a large group of troops coming!" Everyone was shocked. According to previous investigations, there was no other force nearby the rebels, except for the rebels' rebels' rebels. Now the rebels' rebels have been cleared, so it should be safer. So this time they did not bring too many guards. Now a large group of troops suddenly appeared. If the other party came with hostility, it would be too late for them to withdraw their strongholds, which would be dangerous!

Guo Zhiyuan quickly looked in the direction of his guard's fingers and saw a large group of short, dark-skinned men walking down the mountain opposite like enclaves. Although these people were short, they were quite strong, with feather-made headdresses on their heads and spears in their hands, like natives here. Guo Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. If he wanted to occupy Dongfan, he would naturally have to deal with the natives here, but he didn't know whether the natives here could speak.

Chen Di, who was standing beside him, laughed and said happily: "It's okay, the leader of the man is a chief here. The first residents here call him the Great Maitreya. This man is very kind. On that day, I was defeated by General Chen at the sea and the senior officials landed on the land to rest. This man had brought his tribe to work hard for the troops. There should be no malice..."

Chen Yourong also remembered this reminder to Chen Di, and said with a slightly raised mouth: "The residents here admired our Ming Dynasty and were very grateful for our royal army's efforts to wipe out the Japanese pirates to ensure peace. On that day, he used a pot of slurry and a deer to reward our army. Today, I must have heard that our army had wiped out the remaining rebels and sent the army to thank him..."

Hearing Chen Yourong and the others say this, the stone in Guo Zhiyuan's heart completely fell into the ground. He was afraid that the natives here would not be easy to deal with, and this would inevitably hinder his occupation of Dongfan (Taiwan). Now, I heard that the natives here are so friendly, so I was naturally overjoyed.

At this time, the natives of Dongfan also discovered Guo Zhiyuan and their team and waved their hands at them excitedly. Guo Zhiyuan was determined to have a good relationship with these natives and quickly led the team to meet them. Chen Di had dealt with these natives and naturally walked in the front. The natives were led by an old man with white beard, the Great Maitreya mentioned by Chen Di. He was very happy to see Chen Di. He came up and gave him a warm hug and said in stiff Chinese: "Old friend, we meet again! Thank you for driving away the jackals for us again..."
