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

Chapter 29 All beggars here have high-paying professions?
You, the coachman, are trying to steal money, right?

I am traveling incognito in Jinling and renting a carriage does not cost me so much for one day!

Unexpectedly, the coachman said: "I don't know what I know. With this job, I can only earn less than 20 taels per month. In Panyu County, this kind of income is almost the same as that of a beggar."

"..."

20 taels a month.

However, this kind of income is almost the same as that of a beggar on the street?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was a little numb!

When you come to a new place, you must put your luggage first.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the 'Prince Qin Mansion Hotel', with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Prince Qin's Mansion!
This is the sign he gave to Zhu Xi.

As a result, he appeared in a restaurant?
Is this gift from me used for doing business with you?
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart and stepped into the splendid hall.

As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the decoration inside.

In the hall, there is a huge rockery fountain with a huge crystal chandelier. The key is that there is no lamp oil on the chandelier, but it can emit light.

If such a good thing can be found in the place where I went to court, the quality will definitely rise steadily!

As a result, here, I just appeared in a restaurant?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little sour at this moment.

However, what he was even more curious about was, how does this kind of lamp shine?
While he was thinking, a voice sounded.

"Hello, do you want to stay in a hotel?"

He spoke Ming Dynasty Mandarin, but it was a bit unstandard, and the tone was a bit stiff, but it was pretty good. The key was that the person who came over was wearing something a little different, a long skirt that looked more like a Western style, with white flowers on a black background. of.

The person who came was a young girl with blond hair, an unusually fair face, a high nose, and blue pupils. She was walking over with a smile on her face.

"Are you a foreigner?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

The woman immediately smiled and said: "Yes, this Ming Dynasty master. My name is Sophia, I come from the distant Byzantine Empire, and I am the princess of Byzantium."

Princess!

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

The waiter in the hotel in front of me is actually a princess from another country?

But soon, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down.

What is a princess?
He is still the emperor!

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Since you are a princess, why did you come to Daming and still be responsible for receiving guests here? Don't you worry about ruining your country's reputation?"

Sophia smiled and said: "Master may have some misunderstandings. I am responding to the call of His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty to work and study. In this way, I can study in the best place and the best school in the world without spending a penny from the royal family." After finishing my university studies and learning better knowledge, shouldn’t this kind of behavior be praised?”

Work-study program?

What it is!
"Tell me more." Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand.

"That is to say, if I work here for His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Qin will pay me, 50 taels of silver a month, so that I can bear my own rent and living expenses without spending the royal family's money. I will use the excess money. It’s used to pay for tuition... However, His Highness King Qin is really capable, and his school also has scholarships. With my grades, the annual scholarship is actually enough to cover all this."

Sophia is very good at this kind of communication with strangers. She speaks eloquently, is generous and decent, and is not shy at all.

Moreover, every time she talks about His Highness King Qin, her eyes always shine.

It seems that he admires Zhu Xi very much.

"and many more……"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You mean, this restaurant actually belongs to His Highness the King of Qin?"

"Yes!" Sophia nodded and said: "The entire Lingnan Province of Ming Dynasty was given to His Highness King Qin by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so the entire Lingnan Province belongs to His Highness King Qin, and these restaurants are also the property of Prince Qin's Palace. Sir, you He is from the Ming Dynasty, don't you know? His Highness, the King of Qin, is a man as rich as the enemy!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the splendid hotel lobby, thinking about the Zhu Ming in Sophia's mouth, who was already as rich as the enemy, and then thought about what he had seen before. The tall buildings on both sides of the street...

All of this belongs to Zhu Xi?
So how much wealth does this traitor have?

It is really possible to say that one is as rich as a country!
but……

But he only gave me more than 100 million taels?

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to see the tax money from Lingnan.

But now, he suddenly felt that this little money...

Why doesn't it smell good at all?

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to suppress his anger and asked Sophia for two suites of the highest standard. Sophia said without raising her head: "The price of the highest standard prince suite is 50 taels per night. Are you sure?"

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rose an octave.

Good guy!
I originally thought that with a monthly income of 50 taels, I was considered a beggar, which was an exaggeration.

You are good!

As a prince, he opened a restaurant.

As a result, the cost of one night's accommodation is 50 taels?

Grab the money!
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't bear it anymore, as if he had directly picked Zhu Xi out, but at this time Empress Ma said: "It's okay, just come to this prince's suite for two, we are foreigners, and it's the first time we stay here, so we don't understand many things , Miss, can you take us to get familiar with it?"

At the critical moment, Empress Ma stepped forward and suppressed Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.

"No problem, just leave this matter to Hua Man. She is also here for a work-study program!" Sophia responded with a smile.

Go upstairs.

Hua Man took over Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, and said with a smile: "Hello, distinguished guests, Hua Man, the princess from Luzon, is happy to serve you. If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

again……

Another royal princess?

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded!

Princesses of the royal family, come on, come to Ming Dynasty, are they actually working as waiters in restaurants?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his three views were collapsing.

This is too ridiculous!
After all, she is also a princess.

As a result, he was received by the running hall?

He wanted to know why.

"Are you a princess too?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hua Man.

Hua Man smiled and said: "Yes, this master of the Ming Dynasty."

"Girl, since you are a princess, why would you..." Queen Ma also asked: "Will you do this?"

"Isn't it good to do this?"

Hua Man replied: "The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, especially Panyu. Under the leadership of His Highness the King of Qin, industries have been developed. Here is the best industrial technology in the world, the largest and most complete books in the world, and the most knowledge , the most knowledgeable scholar. It is already a great honor for us to come to study in Ming Dynasty. What's more, although we are from the royal family, if we can support ourselves by our own labor, wouldn't it be better than spending the hard-earned money of the royal family? "

Makes sense!
