Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 229 Development of Annan Factory

They soon arrived at Zhilan Lake.

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and a Southern Han Dynasty emerged in the Lingnan area. The emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty at that time built a Fangchun Garden and Qiongtai Jade Pavilion in Zhilan Lake, with strange flowers and exotic flowers, like a fairyland on earth."

"But by this time, Fangchun Garden no longer exists."

"Zhilan Lake was abandoned for a long time. It was not until the city wall was expanded and the Zhenhai Tower was built that it regained some of its popularity."

"It's here."

Xu Qi introduced.

Zhu Xuan got off the carriage and looked towards Zhilan Lake. It was indeed very desolate. There were only a few scattered houses around. Zhenhai Tower was on Yuexiu Mountain next to it, but the excitement on the other side of the mountain was related to the lake on the other side of the mountain. Not big.

"Your Highness, actually this place is not very good."

Xu Qi asked again: "How about changing to another place?"

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "No, this is it!"

Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun also got off the carriage and looked at the relatively desolate lake curiously. They didn't quite understand why their brother liked this place.

But if my brother likes it, he must have a reason to like it.

Zhu Xuan chose this place. Firstly, he felt that this place would become one of the landmark places in Guangzhou in the future. Secondly, he felt that this place should be relatively deserted and did not need to occupy people's land. Anyway, no one was developing it, not even people growing vegetables. .

Not only is it a mansion, he will also develop a science pavilion here in the future, with enough land available.

"Ok!"

Xu Qi thought for a while and asked: "Your Highness, how do you plan to build it?"

Zhu Xuan touched his chin. He originally wanted to build a park here, but it was too extravagant and wasteful, so he decided to forget it and said, "Build it as a regular mansion. I'll have someone bring the money down to you later."

Xu Qi nodded quickly.

"Let's go to Zhenhai Tower and have a look."

Now that he's out, Zhu Xuan doesn't go back so quickly.

The two young daughters-in-law are very interested in this place and also want to have some fun.

"Okay!"

Xu Miaojin walked happily to Yuexiu Mountain nearby.

Xu Qi quickly arranged for a large number of people to follow him and help Zhu Xuan and others clear the way.

"what is this?"

Mu Yuanjun looked at a tall tree on the edge of the mountain road.

The trees are full of fruits, all of which are yellow.

Xu Qi said: "That's a loquat!"

"Can I eat it?"

"Yes! It's delicious."

Xu Qi said: "Come here, pick it off and give it to the princess."

Mu Yuanjun's face turned red when he heard him calling her the princess.

Zhu Xuan has not been crowned king, but his status is almost the same as that of a prince. It is normal to call him princess.

Soon someone picked the loquats. They were sour and sweet, and quite delicious.

"What is this?"

Xu Miaojin looked at the things next to them, each with a special appearance and a faint fragrance.

Xu Qi introduced: "This is called pineapple. It is very fragrant and sweet. Everyone picks it."

While looking around, they climbed up Yuexiu Mountain. The mountain here is not high. Zhenhai Tower soon appeared in front of them. Looking around, the scenery was quite good.

The pineapple was peeled quickly, and they were so happy eating it.

"Brother, this is delicious."

Mu Yuanjun also sent it to Zhu Xuan.

Zhu Xuan took a bite. It was indeed very good. He smiled and said, "Is there anything else you want to see?"

Xu Miaojin asked: "Is it okay in a place with a lot of fruit?"

"Master Xu, make arrangements!"

Zhu Xuan said.

"Okay!" Xu Qi went directly to make arrangements.

They cheered.

After a crazy day outside, Zhu Xuan asked Yan Guan to bring the money down and give it to Xu Qi when he returned to his residence and asked him to build his own mansion. If it was not enough, he would give it to him later.

"Next, I will go to Annan to build everything in the mansion, so I won't bother Mr. Xu for the time being."

"When I come back from Annan, I will take Grandpa Huang's test again."

"Master Xu, you can rest assured, I won't mess around."

"I can lead the people of Guangzhou to prosperity."

Zhu Xuan said with assurance.

Xu Qi solemnly said: "Of course we believe His Highness!"

They have heard about Zhu Xuan's abilities and can trust him.

After resting for two days in Guangzhou, they went to sea again. The distance of this voyage was not very far, and they soon arrived in Annan.

As soon as the Yingtian ship arrived at the harbor outside the factory, another warship could be seen standing on the shore, and three warships were under construction. Those young and middle-aged men from Annan were full of energy. They were constantly busy working for the Ming Dynasty. The construction plays a part in the enthusiasm.

"The second battleship has been built?"

Zhu Xuan looked towards one of the large ships.

Guo Ze and the others not only did not slack off in Annan, they also worked very hard and built the project very quickly.

At the same time, you can also see the thermal power station in operation near the factory, with black smoke constantly rising into the sky, and the sound of some machines echoing near the factory port, giving it a very industrial revolution feel.

Only a few years have passed since the first factory was built.

The Industrial Revolution was brought about by Zhu Xuan in this way, but the place where it really appeared was Annan, not the Ming Dynasty. But these are not important. Annan is already a part of the Ming Dynasty, and will also include the entire Indochina Peninsula in the future.

This time when Zhu Xuan came back, he wanted to take over the Indochina Peninsula and turn it into Ming Dynasty land for industrial development.

"Brother, is this our factory in Annan?"

Xu Miaojin said in surprise: "Compared to the one in Yingtian, it's much bigger."

Zhu Xuan asked: "What do you think of Sister Miaojin?"

Xu Miaojin said: "Although I can't understand it, I am very shocked."

After hearing this, the three of them laughed.

Mu Yuanjun said: "When we went back to Yingtian here last year, the factory was just the same appearance. Unexpectedly, when we come back now, it will be completely different."

The main reason is that the Annan people are highly motivated.

Working in the factory, the wages given are much higher than those working in the fields.

Although mining, steelmaking, or other work is hard and risky, as long as the money is available, they can do whatever they want.

"It's definitely different."

Zhu Xuan couldn't recognize it. This was a factory. He continued, "Let's go over and have a look."

The appearance of the Yingtian ship quickly attracted the attention of the port side.

Of course Guo Ze and the others still remembered the Yingtian ship. When they saw the big ship approaching, they understood that His Highness was here again and immediately took people out to greet him.

When the workers knew that Zhu Xuan was back, they excitedly put down their things and followed him out to greet him, not knowing how respectful they were, mainly because Zhu Xuan's arrival had greatly changed their lives.

Become richer and happier.

It also boosted the employment rate.

In their eyes, Zhu Xuan is almost a living Bodhisattva.

Zhu Xuan asked Zheng He to dock, put down the gangway at the port, and led the two young wives down.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

Guo Ze knelt down on one knee first and said.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The workers who came to greet him knelt down at the same time and shouted this.

Their shouts stopped after a while, showing their respect for Zhu Xuan.

It also frightened Xu Miaojin and the others slightly.
