Kyushu Island New Town Port, originally the Dazaifu in Japan, is also the most prosperous city on Kyushu Island. Later, Zhang Dingbian and others landed and captured the place first. So they changed the name to Xincheng, which means the city of new life, which represents the rebirth of Zhang Dingbian and others overseas.

After Zhu Di came here, he was arranged to live in the inn at Xinchenggang. When he came, Zhang Dingbian, Li Hong and others came to greet him in person. There was also an important figure named Zou Pusheng, but unfortunately he had passed away last year. After his death, he was not sent back to his hometown, but buried outside Xinchenggang.

These days, accompanied by Zhang Dingbian, Zhu Di also visited the fleet that was about to sail. The fleet is not large in size, but not small. It consists of two large ships and five medium-sized sea ships. They are all the latest sea ships of the Ming Dynasty. They are not only fast, but also have excellent wind and wave resistance. The entire fleet has nearly 200 people, and the Jewish astronomers are also in the fleet.

Zhu Di was also full of sincerity for this cooperation. When he came this time, he brought a lot of supplies and promised the members of the fleet that as long as they could find America and bring back what they needed, they would all be rewarded and their wealth would be within their reach!

With the guarantee of Prince Zhu Di, the morale of the entire fleet also increased. Even the Jewish scholars were very excited, believing that this was an opportunity to change their destiny and might be able to enter the top leadership of the Ming Dynasty.

However, on the night after visiting the fleet, Zhu Di asked someone to call Li Fangyuan to his residence. Li Fangyuan was waiting for this opportunity, so he hurried to meet Zhu Di.

Li Fangyuan is actually only seven years younger than Zhu Di, but his hard life made him look a little older than Zhu Di. However, after changing into clean clothes, he also regained his style as he was back in the past.

"Good greet Your Highness!" Li Fangyuan immediately saluted Zhu Di after coming in.

"Get up!" Zhu Di said as he picked up a booklet from the table and handed it to Li Fangyuan, "You can take a look at this first!"

Li Fangyuan was stunned, but he still took the booklet, and saw four big words "Detailed Description of America". When he opened the booklet, he found that the booklet introduced a place called America, such as who are living there, what are the special animals and plants, and even some situations on the coast.

"Your Highness, where is this America?" Li Fangyuan couldn't help asking in the end.

"The Americas is a piece of land east of the sea, with an area of ​​several times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty. There are many things we need there, such as some important crops, which are on the last few pages of the booklet!" Zhu Di explained.

Li Fangyuan hurriedly turned to the end when he heard this. Sure enough, he saw some introductions of crops on the last page of the booklet, and even there were graphics next to it, and there were texts to introduce their habits and characteristics.

"These crops are the key things to look for. As long as you bring them back, you can not only get rid of the crime, but also get my value!" Zhu Di smiled again.

This booklet was naturally written by Li Jie, and it was given to Zhu Di personally when Li Jie gave him away. However, Zhu Di was somewhat suspicious of the contents in the booklet, especially the end of the booklet with a crop yield of several thousand kilograms per mu, which made Zhu Di think whether Li Jie wrote this booklet when he had a fever. However, other situations were described very carefully, so Zhu Di also handed the booklet to the fleet.

"Thank you for your trust. Even if the villain is crushed to pieces, he must bring these things back!" Li Fangyuan immediately saluted Zhu Di again. Although he knew that this book might not be the only one who had it, if he could be the first to discover it in America, it would be a great achievement.

"Very good. This time I came to Jiuzhou Island to meet the fleet that is about to sail. Since you want to prove yourself, I will give you this opportunity. I will arrange for you to go to the fleet tomorrow. But you have to think clearly that America is very far away from here. It may take months to sail on the sea and face countless risks. Maybe you will not go back. Are you sure you want to go?" Zhu Di suddenly smiled again and asked.

"Your Highness does not need to doubt my determination. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I will definitely prove my value and prove to you that you have not read the wrong person!" Li Fangyuan said again with a firm expression.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news in Goryeo!" Zhu Di laughed again after hearing this.

The next morning, Li Fangyuan was taken to the port of Xincheng by Qiu Song. However, it was not a lively civilian port, but a military port next to the port. This was actually a navy camp. The port was full of warships, which looked very similar to the Ming army's warships, but there were still some differences on the flag.

Among these warships, there are several merchant ships that are obviously civilian. The performance of warships is not necessarily stronger than that of merchant ships, because the warships need to be equipped with some bulky weapons and are even more sturdy. In comparison, merchant ships are much more flexible, so some merchant ships actually have better performance than warships.

Qiu Song took Li Fangyuan to one of the large ships. The ship was also one of the main ships of the fleet, its name was the Americas. The captain was a middle-aged man named Jiang. He used to serve in the Ming navy, but because he broke an arm during a battle, he retreated from the army.

But Captain Jiang was a person who couldn't rest, so he was recruited by Zhu Di. He used to train the navy for Goryeo. This time, after hearing about going to America, he also took the initiative to sign up. So Zhu Di appointed him as the captain of the Americas, which was considered Zhu Di's representative in the fleet, and the other big ship was controlled by Zhang Dingbian's people.

Captain Jiang was not very happy about Li Fangyuan's arrival at first, because the entire fleet had been working together for so long, and the whole fleet had formed a tacit understanding. Now, he suddenly joined someone, and he didn't know how to arrange it, especially because the other party was a Korean, which made him even more suspicious of Li Fangyuan's loyalty.

However, Qiu Song helped Li Fangyuan say a few good things. When Captain Jiang learned that Li Fangyuan could read and write, he was finally willing to accept him. After all, most of the fleet was illiterate, and even he was a rough man and knew very limited words. Now a person who had studied was following him, which could help him.
