"No." Yang Shiqi replied honestly. They came by boat. Although they could drive on the steam boat, their food was definitely not comparable to that on land. So before arriving at the port, they did not cook on the boat and prepared to have another big meal at the port. Yang Shiqi was pulled by Zhu Di as soon as he got off the ship, so of course he had no time to eat.

"Eat together!" Zhu Di said casually, pointing to the seat next to him, and then someone gave Yang Shiqi a large bowl of noodles. Although Zhu Di grew up in Nanjing, he lived in Beijing for many years and had long been used to the food in the north. He also liked to eat noodles the most. In addition, he is very busy now, so eating noodles is more convenient.

Yang Shiqi wanted to be polite, but he thought that Li Jie once said that Zhu Di was a casual person and could be casual in front of him. So Yang Shiqi was not polite, so he immediately sat opposite Zhu Di. After the noodles were served, he started to eat in big mouthfuls.

Although it was just a simple bowl of noodles, Zhu Di was the prince after all. The chef was brought from Beijing. Not only was the noodles strong, but the braised rice was fragrant and fresh. In addition, the chili sauce made from American pepper made Yang Shiqi sweat.

After the meal, Zhu Di asked someone to clean up the things and then brought a pot of tea while drinking. Only then did he speak again: "I don't care much about what you do, but I want to know, if you come to surrender to me, what do you think about my affairs?"

Yang Shiqi pondered slightly and immediately said again: "My opinion is the same as the prince. Although many princes are going to sea now, in comparison, you are the most promising in America. Even if you give you enough time, it is not impossible to rebuild a Ming Dynasty in America in the future. Therefore, the villain is willing to follow the prince and help the prince to achieve great achievements together!"

"You are worthy of being the person around Li Jie, you are quite good at it!" Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked again, "Then how do you think America should develop?"

"This..." Yang Shiqi pondered for a moment again, and then said, "Although I have a certain understanding of America, I have never been to America in person, so I dare not talk about some things. However, if I want to open up the situation in a strange place, I must lead the whole. The prince has set up three major ports in America, and these three ports are the foundation for future expansion to the inland, and even finally connected into one..."

Although Yang Shiqi said that he did not dare to talk nonsense, he still published a long article, introducing his views and plans for America in detail. You should know that Yang Shiqi has accumulated a lot of experience in the officialdom now, and these views and plans are based on reality. Zhu Di also nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Very good. You will be with me for the time being during this period and help me handle the final matter here. When you arrive in America, you will arrange a suitable position for you!" Zhu Di said at the end.

"Thank you, Prince!" Yang Shiqi finally felt relieved when he heard this. He immediately stood up and saluted Zhu Di. With Zhu Di's words, he had established his foothold on Zhu Di's side. As long as he performed well, he could still show his ambitions.

The reason why Zhu Di did not arrange Yang Shiqi's position immediately was of course that he wanted to examine Yang Shiqi again. After all, although he lacked people, he could not have everyone. Although Yang Shiqi performed well just now, he could not use the other party just based on these things.

But at this moment, Yang Shiqi suddenly thought of something, so he said solemnly again: "Prince, I must tell you that the King of Tan had sent a group of people to the Americas before, about a dozen."

"Oh? What did Lao Ba send people to America?" Zhu Di didn't care much when he heard this, because America was a mixture of fish and dragons, and there were all kinds of people. It was normal for Zhu Zi to send a few people to America.

"I didn't know the reason at first, but later after the King of Tan was arrested, the court interrogated him before he knew the reason. It turned out that he was quite coveted by America, so he sent a group of people to America to investigate the truth and reality, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for himself." Yang Shiqi replied again.

"Haha, Lao Ba's mind is really deep enough. Unfortunately, people like him think too much and do less, and they can't accomplish anything at all. But he himself thinks he is very smart, which is really ridiculous!" Zhu Di didn't take Zhu Zi to heart at all. He was doing the upright kingly way, and Zhu Zi's little cleverness was not afraid of at all.

Yang Shiqi was a little ashamed when he heard Zhu Di's words, because the other party's evaluation of Zhu Zi was so sharp that it was ridiculous that he thought Zhu Zi was a person who could accomplish great things. It was not until later that he came into contact with Li Jie and others that he realized that he had followed the wrong person before and almost implicated the family in the end.

It was getting late, so Zhu Di asked Yang Shiqi to go back to rest. When he learned that the other party's family had come with him, Zhu Di ordered someone to take Yang Shiqi's family to live in the city. After all, although the camp at the port was in good condition, it was a temporary residence after all and could not be compared with the city.

In the following period, Yang Shiqi slowly took over the final matter of Zhu Di. With his ability, he naturally arranged it in an orderly manner. Although Zhu Di had known Yang Shiqi's ability, he finally found that he had really picked up a treasure. Yang Shiqi's ability was no worse than Yao Guangxiao, and he was completely a prime minister.

Just as Zhu Di was busy finishing the matter, Li Jie also started to get busy. In fact, Li Jie knew that Zhu Di was leaving. He originally wanted to see Zhu Di off in person, but now he was not in a hurry because he knew that Zhu Di would not be able to leave for a while, because Zhu Quan and Zhu Su were going to America with Zhu Di.

Compared with other princes, Zhu Quan and Zhu Xun were obviously much simpler. They were preparing to go to America, and they only needed to prepare personnel and supplies, and then take a boat to find Zhu Di. Next, there was no need for the court to intervene.

In contrast, those princes who went to Nanyang and other places were much more troublesome. For example, taking Zhu Bo, who first decided to go to sea, as an example, he wanted to go to Tianzhu, but he definitely couldn't do anything without preparation. He just took people to sea to Tianzhu directly. He would definitely send intelligence personnel to Tianzhu in advance, collect as much intelligence as possible, and then make some corresponding deployments.

For example, how many people do Zhu Bai need to bring when he goes to Tianzhu? Where to log in? What situations do you have to face after logging in? How to open up the situation in Tianzhu, etc. Although these early plans are mainly Zhu Bai, Li Jie also needs to worry about them, so Li Jie has been very busy recently.
