Of course, these are all just formalities. What Zhu Yunwen really wanted was not to give up on the Clawed Frog Kingdom, a country with economic ties to the Ming Dynasty.
Only when Java regains its vitality and restores normal domestic operations will they be able to establish relations with the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, even though it's just a small favor, it can help me establish a good business partner and give the people of the Ming Dynasty another country to do business with, which is completely worthwhile.
Therefore, from any perspective, Zhu Yunwen's assistance to Java was entirely beneficial.
This matter was also entrusted to Ma Sanbao to handle.
Ma Sanbao was an outstanding military strategist, and naturally also an outstanding diplomat.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen completely trusted him to handle relations with other countries and to help them.
Ma Sanbao did not disappoint Zhu Yunwen.
He greatly assisted the Western King of Java in establishing a new regime, and also helped find foreign powers to quickly restore the operation of various systems.
To build a country, a strong economic foundation is naturally required. Therefore, Java is doing its best to introduce all the good things from the Ming Dynasty to Java.
The Western King of Java immediately dispatched dozens of ships with thousands of taels of gold to trade with the Ming Dynasty and purchase their necessities.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen was satisfied and smiled. Although a thousand taels of gold was not a large sum of money, it was a considerable amount of sincerity for Java.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go, and the cooperation between the two parties will not stop here, but will extend to many more in-depth aspects.
Zhu Yunwen was quite happy during his trip to Java.
He used to feel that he had done enough during his time in the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that I have already accomplished a great deal.
This has not only led to a rapid development of the domestic economy as a whole, but has also greatly improved the living standards of the people.
I initially thought there was no way to further improve this situation.
However, it was only after going to sea that Zhu Yunwen consciously began to cooperate with overseas countries, which could improve the living standards of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Because all good living comes from economic trade, and only when people have money will their lives naturally get better.
What Zhu Yunwen is doing now is to enable all foreign countries to trade with the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the people of the Ming Dynasty would have endless money to earn and a better life.
After spending nearly a week in Java, Zhu Yunwen decided to set sail again.
After all, this market trend has a long way to go, and there are still many places he needs to go.
Unable to linger in this place, Zhu Yunwen, Zhao Qingzhu, and Ma Sanbao, accompanied by the foreign king, boarded the Ming Dynasty's fleet again and set sail, leaving the coast of Java.
They continued heading into the distance.
After leaving Java, the strait line will turn northwest.
The Strait of Malacca is located to the northwest, but to reach the Strait of Malacca, you will have to pass through some other places.
Based on his previous experiences at sea, Ma Sanbao said to Zhu Yunwen:
"In another two or three days, we'll probably reach Sumatra."
At this time, Sumatra was not yet the name of the island, because this place was now a country called Sumatra.
Therefore, it was called Sumatra.
Ma Sanbao introduced Zhu Yunwen to him as follows:
"The King of Sumatra held the Ming Dynasty in high regard."
Furthermore, it was stated that Sumatra had previously told Ma Sanbao that it was willing to maintain friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty forever.
On previous occasions, Ma Sanbao's voyages were all carried out with tasks given to him by Zhu Yunwen, such as going to places like the Americas to search for corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and so on.
They did not linger in Sumatra for long.
The purpose of this trip is to explore a wider maritime market and establish diplomatic and trade relations with more countries.
Therefore, Sumatra is a country worth visiting.
Anyway, we've already come this far.
Zhu Yunwen then ordered that the ship stop once they reached the island where Sumatra was located.
With this order in hand, Ma Sanbao simply set the destination of the voyage as Sumatra Island.
And so they sailed for another two days.
Zhu Yuntong's team was near Sumatra.
Sumatra is a large island in Southeast Asia, rich in natural resources, and the sixth largest island in the world.
Establishing trade cooperation with Sumatra is an absolutely wise choice.
They could bring back more abundant products to the Ming Dynasty, allowing both countries to benefit from trade.
So after approaching the port of Sumatra, Zhu Yunwen sent Sanbao with his men to meet the King of Sumatra.
