Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 196 Our Entertainment City Needs Talents Like You

"What? The Prince of Zhujiang County didn't touch you?"

"Why?! The Prince of Zhujiang looked at your underwear for a long time."

The King of Siam frowned, stroking his beard on his chin, but he couldn't figure out why he was beaten to death.
"Leave the beauty untouched, but stare at a pair of underpants? Could it be that the Prince of Pearl River has some special hobby? This is too special."

"Ayi, you should prepare a few more underpants to give to His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County. By the way, you will wear them."

Zhu Zhanqian would never have imagined that the King of Siam had such an advanced Two-dimensional Internet thinking.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanchang took the team to see the fruit market that he cared about the most. Fruits in Siam are everywhere. The climate here is very suitable for fruit growth, and the people who eat fruit here are also very good. The luxury of eating half and throwing half.

The merchants who came with them felt distressed when they saw those fruits that must be expensive in China were thrown away, but they were relieved when they asked about the price. This low price is still distressing.

The main problem of fruit is not the yield, but the preservation and transportation.

Guo Qinjian, the recipient of the food license called by Zhu Zhanchang, discussed: "Treasurer Guo, let's see how these fruits are transported back to China?"

Guo Qinjian had already seen a large amount of silver beckoning to him, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, if an ordinary merchant ship has rotted before reaching Guangzhou Port, but if you can rent His Highness's steam warship for transportation, it should be able to greatly Shorten the voyage so that the people of Guangzhou Prefecture can eat fruit.”

"Not only Guangzhou Prefecture, but also Yingtian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture. These things can be sold at higher prices there. The weather in Guangzhou Prefecture is humid and hot, and there are still a lot of fruits. If you go to the north, these fruits are really big. Some people have never seen each other in their entire lives."

"What Your Highness said is very true."

"I can lease you two steam warships."

Guo Qinjian is not overjoyed, because he knows that Zhu Zhanchang's words must be true.

But this time Zhu Zhanchang didn't say but.

Guo Qinjian waited for a while, and before Zhu Zhanchang spoke, he asked himself, "What are the conditions for renting a warship, Your Highness?"

"There are no conditions, just pay the money, and no matter which port you are in, remember not to evade tax. Nanyang produces fruit, since you have photographed the food warehouse, in theory, you can expand this unique business first. I also I hope you can grow up a little bit, the shopkeeper Guo is a smart person, I only hope that you can make some of your money, build bridges and roads, and build schools, which can be regarded as accumulating virtues for the people.”

Guo Qinjian immediately said: "His Royal Highness has seen far-reaching, far beyond what we can reach.

Zhu Zhanchang doesn't know how many truths or falsehoods there are in this sentence. In the future, we will see how many bridges, how many roads, and how many schools you build.

At this time, the King of Siam walked up to Zhu Zhanchang with a smile and handed over a gift box.

"This is?"

"His Royal Highness, this is a gift I prepared for you."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanchang was about to open it, but was stopped by the King of Siam.

"His Excellency the King of Siam, I do not accept expensive gifts."

"It's not something of gold or silver, it's something that Your Highness likes. Please open it after Your Highness returns." The King of Siam said mysteriously.

Zhu Zhanchang was puzzled, but he accepted the gift first and opened it carefully when he went back.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Princess Ayi who was following the King of Siam. The women here were more open and enthusiastic, which made Zhu Zhanchang think of a good idea.

"Your Majesty the King of Siam, I see that these girls in Siam are all enthusiastic and can sing and dance, which is very different from our country."

"Bring a few back if your Highness likes it."

"It's like this. The port where our Guangzhou government opened the sea ban is in the Hong Kong port, and there is an Aomen next to it. It is a place for foreign businessmen and envoys to rest. I asked the magistrate of Hong Kong to build an entertainment city there. If If His Excellency the King of Siam is interested, you can visit it at that time, and I hope to hire some Siamese girls to dance in the entertainment city every day.”

The Aomen Casino didn't sound good, so Zhu Zhanchang changed it into an entertainment city, and the plan has been agreed by Zhu Di, and now it is going on in sync with the development of Hong Kong.

However, Zhu Di also ordered that the natives were not allowed to gamble without permission. Zhu Zhanchang decided to build a city in the form of the European gambling city of Monaco. The natives prohibited gambling, and it was specially used for the activities of foreign businessmen and envoys.

Then we have to arrange various entertainment activities, among which the passionate girls from Siam are also very good to dance.

The two sides soon reached an intention to let some Siamese women go to work in the entertainment city when the merchant ships arrive next time. The entertainment city is a high-consumption place, and some of the money of these foreign merchants should be kept.

The girls in Siam are not excited to hear that they can go to Daming. In their eyes, Daming is a prosperous and powerful place.

Siam produces fruits, seafood, jade, and spices, and needs silk, tea, ceramics and other items. There is huge space for cooperation between the two parties.

Of course, Guo Qinjian was the happiest among them. After all, Zhu Zhanchang had to lease two merchant ships for him.

With a lot of itineraries, Zhu Zhanchang didn't plan to make more stops. After another day's rest, he boarded the ship again and set off for their next stop, Temasek (Singapore).

The King of Siam personally saw him off, and it was very grand and grand.

After getting on the boat, Zhu Zhanchang remembered the gift from the King of Siam, and asked Yang Song to take it out and put it on the deck.
Seagulls flew from the sky, and Zhu Zhanchang looked at the box.

"There won't be hidden weapons in it, and you won't want to assassinate me."

"It shouldn't be right, could that be a head-dropping technique?"

This Southeast Asian sorcery, Zhu Zhanchang has seen in previous Hong Kong movies, is very eerie.

Yang Song picked up the spear and opened the box in the air, dropping a dozen pairs of women's panties of different colors, which turned into flying flowers.

Zhu Zhanchang froze in place, the black line on one end of Cao Xinyue.

Yang Song's spear provoked a line: "His Royal Highness, it is through."

"Why are you still researching this?"

"Throw it all, throw it all away."

Zhu Zhanchang understood that it should be Princess Ayi who went back and told the King of Siam about her research on underwear, and the King of Siam thought he liked this thing.

Embarrassed, he threw his panties into the sea.

I don't know when Cao Xinyue has returned to her room, it is still a little inappropriate for a girl to see this kind of thing.

Mu Bin came to Zhu Zhanchang's side: "His Royal Highness, the trip to Temasek has been notified to the King of Malacca."

At this time, Temasek was under the management of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca was named after the Kingdom of Malacca.

"What is the relationship between the Kingdom of Malacca and our dynasty?"

"The relationship is very good, of course, because Lord Zheng He beat them hard when he first went to the West. Originally, they wanted to loot my treasure ship, but now they pay tribute to us." The officials who stayed behind Zheng He explained again.

"Lord Zheng He, they should have just left Temasek not long ago."

Zhu Zhanchang thought for a while: "If you pay tribute to us, is it a little rude for me to directly bombard Temasek?"

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised and didn't know what Zhu Zhanchang meant.

"just kidding."

Despite this, Zhu Zhanchang took out a maritime map and put it on the deck.

"Master Zheng He has to pass through Temasek every time he goes to the Western Ocean. There is the Strait of Malacca here. As long as you want to go to the Western Ocean, you must pass through here. In the future, the merchant ships will be busy. I am not at ease if these important key nodes are not in my hands."

"But His Royal Highness the Kingdom of Malacca has a good relationship with our dynasty. Forcibly taking it would be a loss of my dynasty's demeanor."

You can't do anything that loses face to Zhu Di. Zhu Zhanchang understands this red line, so he is worried now that this place must be seized, no matter how good the relationship is, just for the ships to stop and rest and trade in the future, this place occupies an excellent place. The geographical advantage cannot be given to others.

Moreover, if there is a malicious person trying to ambush this place, it is difficult to prevent.

"His Royal Highness, pirates in Malacca and Java are rampant. Temasek and Palembang are both places where pirates often gather. You have to be more careful when you get there."

"Pirates!" Zhu Zhanchang thought for a while and said, "Before His Majesty sent some famous pirates a gift box to warn them, are there any famous pirates here?"

The translation officer left by Zheng He nodded: "There are pirates Chen Zuli and Bo Fang. Among them, Chen Zuli is the youngest brother of Chen Zuyi, the great pirate of the year."

Zhu Zhanchang naturally knew the name of Chen Zuyi. The great pirate of that year ran rampant in Malacca. The king of Malacca was incompetent and could not do anything about him, not only Malacca, but also the surrounding countries could not do anything about him, if it weren't for Zheng He Defeated and captured it and brought it back to Daming for beheading, and now he is still in charge of this sea area.

Chen Zuli is Chen Zuyi's younger brother. Because of the strong pirate culture in Malacca and the large number of pirate teams, small merchant ships cannot trade normally when they come here, either paying protection fees or being looted.

The other Bo Fang was mainly in the old port and was once a subordinate of Chen Zuyi.

"What kind of person is this Chen Zuli?"

"Chen Zuli is ruthless, but not as ambitious as Chen Zuyi's. He lives by the stall left by Chen Zuyi. His wife is the sister of the former king of Malacca and the aunt of the current king."

"Oh? How's the relationship?"

"This is not very clear, but the actual power of the Malacca royal family is relatively weak, and it has even been occupied by Siam in a lot of handover places in recent years."

Zhu Zhanshang came to his mind.

The current sea in Southeast Asia is just like the Mediterranean Sea and the European coast back then. There are many forces, chaos and complexity. There are many frictions between various forces, pirates are rampant, and there are many commercial exchanges.

It's just that there is a huge Ming Dynasty next to them, and now the Ming Dynasty is coming to announce his existence.

"Do you have a way to contact Bo Fang and Chen Zuli?"

"Wei Chen knows where they are, but I haven't contacted them before. If Your Highness needs it, I would like to bring a warship to inform them for His Highness."

"Okay, you go on a boat and inform Bo Fang and Chen Zuli to come to see me in Temasek, and I will stay in Temasek for some more time."
