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

Chapter 607 Lighters and Cigarettes
  Zhu Xuan got off the boat.

People in the company came out to greet him first. When they learned that His Highness was coming, they all knelt down and saluted.

The people stationed here are all Easterners, and there is also an official from the Ming Dynasty. As for the coolies who do the hard work, they are just some gangsters and some Western laborers.

The main body is still the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are the Orientals.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

The official in charge here led the crowd in shouting.

"No courtesy, get up!" Zhu Xuan nodded slightly, "Help me arrange a few people to notify Adelaide that I am coming."

"Yes!"

The official said quickly.

After the greeting, Zhu Xuan entered the company.

The first thing to do is to check the accounts and check the internal situation of the company.

But with Zheng He sitting here, the problem is not that big. Zheng He knows what should be done and what should not be done.

After being on the boat for a long time, it was still easy to get tired. After getting off the boat, they all went to have a good rest. Zhu Xuan also asked the servants to prepare hot water for the little wives.

Before I knew it, it was night.

After eating a Western meal, Zhu Xuan and the others could finally relax.

"It feels like it's becoming more and more convenient for us to go to the West. It's not as troublesome as before." Mu Yuanjun said softly.

Apart from taking a boat ride and adjusting for some jet lag, there seemed to be nothing else.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "In the future we will be more convenient, no matter where we go."

Xu Miaojin said: "I always remember that my brother's railway should be successful soon."

“This has to wait for the cross-river bridge.”

Cen Hua also knew about railways and added: "His Royal Highness said that the construction of the cross-river bridge is very troublesome and not easy to complete."

"Yes!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said, "We still have to wait for a while."

When railways are rolled out throughout the Ming Dynasty, everything will become easier.

Space distance can be shortened.

With the emergence of radio and other technologies, the communication distance can be shortened, and the development of Ming Dynasty will become better and better.

"My brother is really great."

Mu Yuanjun happily hugged Zhu Xuan's hand and said softly: "You know so much and can do so many things."

These words express their feelings.

Zhu Xuan is really powerful and can do anything.

They feel very proud.

Cen Hua thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, can I enter the palace in the future?"

This question is very direct.

For the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, it is not very appropriate to ask.

But Cen Hua was born as a chieftain, and etiquette was not very important to them. Some words were much more straightforward than Mu Yuanjun and others, and they did not have as many scruples.

After hearing this, Zhu Xuan turned his head and glanced at her, suddenly leaned over, kissed her on the cheek, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

Cen Hua didn't expect that Zhu Xuan would do this to her. She blushed for a while and hummed softly: "I want to kiss you back, please don't leave, Your Highness!"

Neither Xu Miaojin nor Mu Yuanjun were jealous. When they saw this, they started to make trouble with Cen Hua.

Zhu Xuan's side was soon filled with laughter and laughter.

Zhu Xuan still enjoys this.

-

The next day, in the afternoon.

Adelaide just came to the company. He smiled when he entered the door and said, "His Highness is really here. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Not long ago, we met in Huating."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "This should be the last time I come to Europe. I want to meet you first. Isn't it interesting enough?" Adelaide understood immediately. In the future, Zhu Xuan will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no chance to come to the West again. He smiled and said: "Your Highness has always been very interesting, but I also wish to congratulate Your Highness in advance."

His congratulations are to become emperor.

Zhu Xuan understood and said with a smile: "We are old friends, so you are welcome. When you are free in the future, you can come to Yingtian and take a walk, just as we reminisce about old times."

"I haven't been to Yingtian yet."

Adelaide had wanted to go for a long time, but he was not ready when he went to Huating last time, and there was nothing to pay tribute to. He added: "When I have time, I will definitely visit your Majesty the Ming Emperor."

Zhu Xuan looked at Adelaide for a while, only to see his haggard face, and asked: "Old friend, you don't seem to be in good spirits."

Hearing this, Adelaide thought of the two Yangma who went crazy together last night, and said with a smile: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I drank several cups of coffee in the morning, but it didn't work. I drank too much coffee. , it’s easy to lose sight of God.”

Coffee has been brought to the West by Zhu Xuan.

"I have something that's better than coffee. It might be suitable for you."

Zhu Xuan waved his hand back.

Behind him, Hou Xian understood and took out a pack of high-end cigarettes from his body.

"This is?"

Adelaide couldn't understand it, but she understood that Zhu Xuan should have some new products.

Daming’s new products often amaze them.

For example, the clothes we wear now still come from Zhu Xuan's clothing factory in Suzhou. They are still handmade and custom-made. They are valuable and have become a status symbol in Western upper-class circles.

He was an agent of these clothes and made a lot of money.

"This is called a cigarette."

Zhu Xuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Adelaide.

At this time, Westerners did not know what cigarettes were. Tobacco and other products were produced in the Americas, and they had not seen tobacco.

"how to use?"

Adelaide put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. The smell was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell how special it was.

"Light it up and take a puff."

Zhu Xuan also took out a lighter.

This is also a new product from the factory.

In fact, lighters appeared earlier than matches.

Hou Xian also brought a ceramic ashtray and placed it on the table.

Cigarettes, lighters and ashtrays can be sold in a bundle, making a lot of money and expanding the market.

Before time travel, Zhu Xuan was also an old smoker, but after time travel, this new body no longer has any dependence on cigarettes. Now he is still quite proficient in smoking again.

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, he added: "This is how it is used. Once it passes through the lungs, it can refresh the mind."

"Your Highness, what is that thing that can produce fire?"

Adelaide's attention was not on the cigarette, but on the lighter.

"This is called a lighter. It can make fire with just one press. It's our new product."

Zhu Xuan handed it to Adelaide.

After studying this exquisite thing for a while, Adelaide's eyes lit up. This is another brand new business opportunity, and it is definitely the next hot product in the West.

"His Highness's factory is capable of anything!"

Adelaide praised: "This lighter will definitely sell very well in the West. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean?"

He discovered the business opportunities in it and knew very well that Zhu Xuan brought this thing with the intention of cooperating to sell it and wanted to win the agency right.

"Of course I understand."

Zhu Xuan blew out another smoke ring, flicked the ashes, and continued: "How about you try this cigarette? Bite it in your mouth, light it, take a breath, and then spit it out slowly..."

He taught Adelaide how to smoke.

Adelaide felt novel and tried Zhu Xuan's method. After smoking a cigarette, she found that this thing can really refresh her mind.
