Zhu Gaochi, who had just woken up, suddenly heard that America had arrived, and immediately jumped out of bed, and didn't even bother to wear clothes, and ran to the deck barefoot.

At this time, the sky in the east had just turned white, and under the white light, a continuous land was right in front of me. Even without a telescope, I could see it very clearly. It was early morning. If it was daytime, I would have discovered it long ago.

"It's here! It's really here!" Zhu Gaochi ran to the bow of the ship quickly, and looked at the American continent ahead with excitement. Although he could only see a rough outline, it had already made Zhu Gaochi very excited.

At this time, the other people on the boat also discovered the land ahead. For a moment, everyone rushed to the deck, shouted and cheered at the land ahead. After all, after such a long time of sailing, everyone was tired of the closed and narrow space on the boat, and everyone was eager to set foot on the solid land as soon as possible.

However, after being excited, Zhu Gaochi and the others realized that they were actually quite a distance away from land. As the saying goes, running a horse to death on the mountain. This law also applies to the sea. Sometimes it looks not far away, but in fact it takes half a day to run.

So after calming down, Zhu Gaochi immediately ordered the fleet to speed up, and at the same time, each fleet was ready to land. Originally, Zhu Gaochi asked people to prepare breakfast, thinking of having enough food to land, but was rejected by most people because the dry food sent on the ship had been disgusting by them for a long time, so now they all want to keep their stomachs and have a good meal after landing.

Zhu Gaochi immediately summoned the guides in the fleet. These people had been to America many times and were very familiar with the entire route, especially in the Americas. The previous fleet had already set up a port here to welcome the fleet from the Ming Dynasty. However, because the fleet arrived differently, they needed to distinguish the directions so that they could find the reception port.

These guides looked at the coast ahead with a telescope and quickly identified their location. They were located north of the first station port. They only needed to go south along the coastline and see the port in about ten miles. This port is called the first station, because the first fleet that arrived in the Americas landed there.

The fleet immediately turned south and found a natural bay ten miles away. In the bay, a port that looked a bit simple was built. Of course, this simplicity was compared with the Ming Dynasty, and it was already a good port on the Americas.

As soon as the fleet approached the port, ships immediately came out to greet him. After all, they also saw the fleet's banner early, so the officials responsible for managing the entire port also came to greet him in person, and Zhu Gaochi also personally met with the other party.

"Greetings to the prince!" The chief officer of the port immediately stepped forward to salute when he saw Zhu Gaochi.

"It turned out that it was you. My father sent you to America. Didn't you ask you to be responsible for building a city? Why did you come here?" Zhu Gaochi was surprised when he saw the visitor, and then smiled.

The other party was Li Fangyuan, who was born in Goryeo. He was one of the first people to arrive in the Americas. Later, after returning, he was trusted by Zhu Di. Originally, Zhu Di wanted to keep him by his side, but Li Fangyuan took the initiative to come to America. Zhu Gaochi had met Li Fangyuan several times and knew very well about his background.

"You are the prince, after the arrival of the previous fleet, I also brought news that the prince was coming, so after I had arranged the first fleet, I immediately set off here to welcome the prince's vanguard!" Li Fangyuan replied respectfully. He had long lost his ambitions from the past, and now he is very loyal to serve Zhu Di.

"Well, you are intent!" Zhu Gaochi nodded when he heard this, and then asked Li Fangyuan to lead the fleet into the port to rest. After all, everyone was exhausted along the way, especially because they were under great mental pressure, so they urgently needed to go to a port to rest.

Li Fangyuan was obviously very familiar with the needs of the fleet, so after he led the fleet into the port, he immediately prepared hot water and hot dishes. Zhu Gaochi was also welcomed into the port and then took a beautiful bath. Even as he was, it was a very luxurious requirement to take a bath on the ship. After all, the fresh water on the ship was limited, and even drinking was barely enough. It would be a waste to take a bath.

After taking a shower, Zhu Gaochi participated in the welcoming banquet prepared by Li Fangyuan. The officials of the port and important figures of the fleet gathered together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Gaochi also asked Li Fangyuan about the situation in the Americas. Although Zhu Gaochi had known about these situations before, the distance between the two sides was so far, and some situations had also changed.

Li Fangyuan is indeed a talented person. He knows the situation in the Americas as well. Starting from the port at their feet, he checks out the three major ports they established here and the situation of each port.

For example, although this first stop port looks a bit simple, it is the most lively port among the three major ports. Because whenever the Ming fleet arrives in the Americas, it will come to the port to stop and rest and then replenish some supplies, so the port has also developed very fast, and many merchants even stay in the port.

Zhu Gaochi also noticed this point. When their fleet entered the port just now, they saw some fleets docked in the port. After all, since the discovery of the Americas, many people have taken risks to come to the Americas to find opportunities to make money. Neither the Ming Dynasty nor Zhu Di banned this behavior.

Behind the port, a small town has been formed, with some merchants in it. However, these merchants not only do business in the fleet, but also trade with nearby native tribes to collect some local specialties from them. After enough goods, they will find a way to transport them back to the Ming Dynasty. They only need one trip to make a fortune. After all, specialties from the Americans are still very rare in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the first stop port, you will arrive at another port for about ten days to walk south. This port is called Golden Port, which is named because it is rich in gold nearby. Although this Golden Port was established by Zhu Di's people, there are many people from the Ming Dynasty who came from the port. They all came for gold, and the security of Golden Port is the worst. Many people kill and rob for gold, and local officials can't take care of it and can only let it go.

The Golden Port will walk south for about three or four days, which is Zhu Di’s largest stronghold in the Americas and the largest port in the Americas - Yanjing Port.
