Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 20 The Byzantine princess wants to study abroad?
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Empress Ma feel uncomfortable.

After all, he is his own son, how can he say that?
However, the two have been a couple for many years.

Queen Ma just changed her expression, but didn't say anything else.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw it, he stood up and said, "I still have official duties to attend to. If you are free, write a letter to him and tell him to stop messing around!"

The tone is not very good.

However, he did not issue a decree, but asked Queen Ma to write a letter, which was considered a good attitude.

Of course Empress Ma also understood this. After sending Zhu Yuanzhang away, she asked Xu Miaoyun beside her: "The emperor doesn't believe that his son can do it, what about you?"

Xu Miaoyun lowered his head and said nothing.

"You!"

Empress Ma shook her head, but showed a happy smile. She picked up the letter and said, "I do believe him. Look at the letter he wrote to me. There is no complaint at all. This is Lingnan, and he is a prince who is pampered. He went to a place like that, but he wrote a letter back. In addition to his concern for me, the rest of the text was about what he was doing every day, and he also told me as a mother not to worry. "

A lot of things can be seen in a letter.

In the past, Zhu Ping went to the prosperous Guanzhong to join the feudal clan. When he came back, he always asked for this or that, which showed the naughty nature of a son in front of his mother. But now, Zhu Ping's letters do not contain these negative things at all.

On the contrary, they are all positive statements.

That's why Queen Ma felt that this son had really grown up.

I felt relieved.

"The emperor asked me to write a letter to warn him, but I won't warn him!"

Queen Ma smiled, looked at Xu Miaoyun again and asked, "What about you? Do you want to write him a letter in reply?"

I originally thought that Xu Miaoyun still remained silent.

However, Xu Miaoyun suddenly raised her head, then her cheeks turned slightly red, and she responded in a low voice: "Well, would you please, Queen, write the words 'I hope you encourage me' in the letter for my little girl?"

"What did he encourage?" Queen Ma smiled, then felt something was wrong. When she looked at Xu Miaoyun again, she said happily: "Okay, I will write it down for you!"

A letter was quickly dispatched from the palace.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's reply was also sent together.

In mid-April, Zhu Xi finally received another piece of good news.

First of all, the preliminary construction of Kowloon Port has been completed.

The first batch of ships to arrive at the port were Luo Hang's fleet.

Two days later, Luo Hang took people back to Panyu.

Zhu Xi received him in person.

Luo Hang said to Zhu Xi: "Your Highness, I took the fleet to travel to various countries in the South Seas, and indeed brought back a lot of oil, gems, gold and silver that Your Highness mentioned. In addition, King Mi Si'er, I also met him. .”

"How?" Zhu Xi became more energetic.

This is the key!

"That large piece of land was purchased with a small investment, costing a total of 3 taels of gold! At present, all Mi Si'er's people have cleared that area, and I, the Ming Dynasty, can send people to take over at any time!" Luo Hang responded.

"it is good!"

Zhu Xi was overjoyed.

The future Suez, is this won?

Zhu Xi immediately came to Xiang Hai and said to him: "Why do you come to me?"

Now that the land has been won, the canal will naturally be built quickly.

But Zhu Xi also understood that for people in the Middle Ages, civility and politeness were useless.

Canals can be built.

However, whether it can be defended depends on force.

Therefore, Zhu Xi planned to directly ask He Gui to send 1 people to guard the area, and then ask Xianghai to arrange [-] craftsmen to go there, and then spend money to recruit some local men and some steam machinery to dig the canal.

After finishing these arrangements, Luo Hang brought another piece of good news.He actually brought a foreign princess!

"Her name is Sophia, she comes from the Byzantine Empire, but when we found her, her situation didn't seem to be very good. She looked like she had escaped by boat and was in a very embarrassed state." Luo Hang explained.

After they bought the land from the Misier people, they happened to meet Sophia's boat on the beach. Later, after communicating, they heard that Luo Hang and these people came from an extremely distant country in the east, so Sophia begged Luo Hang to , brought her along.

Luo Hang is also bold.

He thinks this is a good thing.

After all, this princess is beautiful. What if King Qin likes her?
As a result, when Zhu Ping heard about Byzantium, he got a headache.

The legendary Eastern Roman Empire?
The goal of the Crusades!
It seems that this country cannot last for many years!

Zhu Xi couldn't be happier.

This princess might be a problem.

After all, Ming Dynasty and Byzantium are thousands of miles apart, and Zhu Ping has no time to care about other people's affairs now, but she is a princess, and she has made her identity clear, so when she comes here, she cannot lack etiquette.

Zhu Xi then arranged a meeting with Sophia, intending to meet and send her back.

The next day, Zhu Xi entertained Sophia as a state gift at the half-built palace, and Xianghai and the others also asked Sophia to dress up specially, at least not to make her look so embarrassed.

Therefore, she put on the palace attire of the Ming Dynasty to serve, but she had blond hair and skin as white as snow. She came to Zhu Ping and then saluted. Zhu Ping already had elite diplomats around him as translators.

After a rather troublesome communication, Zhu Ping was speechless.

This Princess Sophia actually said that she fell in love with Daming and was unwilling to be sent away.

Moreover, she also talked about the ongoing construction of Panyu County, and even mentioned the half-built university, expressing her hope to study in this university...

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded.

Although it is said that Byzantium is already at the end of its enemy's run and will not be able to sustain itself for many years, she is still the princess of a country, right?
Did you come to Daming to study?

Oh!
You Westerners are so open-minded, and you started studying abroad in the Middle Ages, right?

However, Zhu Xi did not refuse.

First of all, it is inconsistent with the etiquette of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Secondly...

Zhu Xi suddenly felt that nothing would be bad if she was allowed to go to school alone.

So Zhu Xi arranged it like this.

At present, the school's signboard has been erected.

Daming University.

However, now that Sophia had joined, Zhu Xi had an idea and immediately found Mr. Yuan and asked him to add two gilt characters on the sign: International!

Daming International University!

The first of its kind in the world!

This can be regarded as daring to be the first in the world.

Zhu Xi was very satisfied.

This is quite a feat.

One that will last forever!

Can you be unhappy?
Then, Zhu Fang felt that there should be a relatively inner place in Panyu County where foreign guests could be entertained.

Speaking of this, it is naturally a high-end hotel.

Think and do it.

Zhu Xi immediately found Xiang Hai, and the two discussed it with a map. It was best to choose an open space in the southeast city and start building a hotel immediately.

He even thought about the sign.

Prince Qin's Mansion!
