Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 204 Mazu Golden Body
When did Zhu Zhanchang find out that Cao Xinyue was gone?

It was when the flying Henan Man was docked at Guangzhou Mansion and was about to return to the newly built Prince Mansion of Zhujiang County.

During this period, he also went to the steam engine factory and the shipyard, but he never found out that Cao Xinyue had disembarked.

Cao Xinyue's letter was very simple: "Your Highness, Xinyue has gone home, please don't read it."

Zhu Zhanchang suddenly seemed to realize: "Yang Song, do you think I don't care about Cao Xinyue too much?"

How dare Yang Song say something: "His Royal Highness has to deal with many important affairs of the country, and it is normal to not be concerned about it."

Looking back on the way, Zhu Zhanchang had very little time to communicate with Cao Xinyue because he was busy with official business, and he didn't even have his favorite part of molesting her a few times. Zhu Zhanchang felt that she should be angry.

What can a girl do when she is angry, coax her, and then write a letter to coax her when she gets home.

The Prince’s Mansion in Zhujiang County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, right on the edge of the Pearl River. There is a small port at home where you can take small boats. There are guards on the mansion.

Li Xiaozhu and Zara came out to greet them, because they knew that today was the day when Zhu Zhanchang came back, and they naturally wore very grand and unusual clothes.

One was a long emerald green horse-faced dress, and the other was silver-white. The early spring wind was a little cool. After a long time, I felt that the two girls were even more beautiful.

"His Royal Highness, where's Miss Cao?" Zara saw Cao Xinyue's absence at a glance. Before, Cao Xinyue often taught her to speak Daming dialect, but now her accent has changed slightly, but it is impossible to be completely the same as the locals.

"She's back in Huzhou."

Zara enthusiastically took Zhu Zhanchang to his small yard first: "Your Highness, didn't you let us dress up according to our own preferences? I made my yard into the style of the Western Regions, you won't blame me."

Zhu Zhanchang glanced at it and found that the style of the Western Regions was incompatible with the surrounding architectural style, but it was okay, a little contrast was a little bit different, anyway, Zara's yard will be able to come by himself in the future.

And if you think about going to bed at night in the future, if you change a yard, you will have a different style. Isn't this...isn't it quite a slap in the face?

Zhu Zhanchang looked at Li Xiaozhu: "Is your yard dressed in North Korea?"

Li Xiaozhu nodded: "Please don't blame Your Highness."

"You look good in this horse-faced dress."

"His Royal Highness praised it. Daming's horse-faced skirt is beautiful. It is much more delicate and beautiful than our North Korean clothes."

Now there are Western customs, Korean customs, plus Cao Xinyue's Jiangnan minor, and the female official of Hu Shanggong is blessed. If Li Xianyu is brought in, there will be a night in the East.

ah!Wuhu, take off.

Still have to continue to work hard to achieve the small goal of not repeating the same pattern for a week as soon as possible, as well as the big goal of changing patterns every day.

In fact, the palace of the Prince of Pearl River County has not been completely completed, just a few people's courtyards are almost the same, and the reception hall and garden have not been completed.

After being busy for such a period of time, Zhu Zhanchang finally had some time to rest. He planned to give himself a vacation, have a good time for a few days, and take a look at the latest news by the way.

Chu'er is now the female internal affairs officer of the Prince's Mansion in Zhujiang County, in charge of all the big and small affairs, and the status of Sangyu Zhuju has also risen a lot.

"His Royal Highness, this is your letter from these days. There are those from the Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness Taisun, and Zhang Xianqi, the ambassador of Dongying."

After taking the letter in Chu'er's hand and opening it, she looked embarrassed. The Crown Princess had written a lot of things in the letter, and she was concerned about his food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but more importantly, the Crown Princess warned that the age is getting older, and everyone around him is Foreign women should not have children prematurely.

The crown princess is most worried about the issue of children and descendants. She thought that Zhu Zhanchang should not be too young, but after all, she was still worried. After writing the letter, she was afraid that it would be too obscure. Simply write it plainly.

"My mother-in-law, as expected, my mother is most concerned about her own children."

In the view of the crown prince, Zhu Zhanchang can have a side concubine of different races, it doesn't matter how many, as long as he likes it, as long as his body can withstand it, but his princess must be a pure Ming Dynasty person, and his direct son must be of pure blood.

After reading his mother's letter, Zhu Zhanji opened Zhu Zhanji's letter. In addition to the relationship between his brother and his younger brother, Zhu Zhanji also asked a lot of Zhu Zhanji's opinions on establishing and operating a port. Zhu Zhanji was not ashamed to ask his brother. Ask for advice, you can't hide it yourself, write down some experiences and send them back.

The last thing I read was Zhang Xianqi's letter.

Zhang Xianqi said some customs and habits of Dongying, and the situation there is good, but also said that Dongying has now begun to study steam engines.

Dongying is doing its best to study steam engines, but they don't have any counterfeiting methods, and they don't have any theoretical basis.

Dongying is different from Jiaozhi. The cohesion of the people in Dongying is much stronger than that of Jiaozhi. It is very difficult to disintegrate in a short time. It can only be done little by little and penetrate slowly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Xiaosheng ran back excitedly from outside.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, Lord Zheng He's fleet has returned."

"What? How could it be so fast?" Zhu Zhanchang couldn't believe that Zheng He had returned from his voyage to the West so quickly?

"Lord Zheng He's fleet came back, but Lord Zheng He didn't come back. Lord Zheng He's fleet was divided into three parts after sending the people. The main force continued to send people. A steam warship came back to deliver the letter and had already docked at the port. , is to bring news to your Highness."

Zhu Zhanchang snatched the letter from Xiaosheng's hand, opened it and saw only a few words, Zheng He's handwritten letter.

"Your Highness, Zheng He is leaving."

Zhu Zhanchang smiled knowingly after reading it: "I knew you would go, you would definitely go, but why didn't you wait and take me with you."

Zheng He drove a steam warship to the end of the world. He considered for a long time whether to go with Zhu Zhanchang, but Zhu Zhanchang had a distinguished status and was busy with business. Zhu Zhanchang went.

If you can come back, let's go with His Highness again.

Zhu Zhanchang closed the letter, looked at the blue sky and white clouds with a smile, and said, "Xiaosheng, how long do you think Zheng He will be here?"

"Xiaosheng doesn't know, it might take a year or two."

One or two years is definitely not enough, and Zhu Zhanchang had an idea in his heart.

"Xiaosheng help me run a trip to Hong Kong Port and find a place on the highest mountain beside the port."

"Your Highness, what is this for?"

"Chen Youshan was ordered to build the golden statue of Mazu on the highest mountain. It should be at least 30 meters high, so that all the ships returning to Hong Kong can see the statue of Mazu from a distance."

Although I can't go with you, I welcome you back.
