Chapter 1742 Zhu Zhanyong, who wants to go overseas(1/2)
Zhu Zhanyong was thinking about Du Hailin's words, taking care of his relatives first and then talking about other things. He was just trying to waste his energy and was ambitious.
The goal is higher than the sky, but it cannot be better than taking a step forward steadily.
He remembered what Fang Xing said: The giant of words, the dwarf of action!
Of course, Fang Xing's original words were not like this.
The original saying is: You can never compare to a single practice!
But his situation is a bit awkward. Xie Jin has already said that he can graduate and return to the palace at any time.
But what can he do when he returns to the palace?
Do you spend your days before you become a vassal in that cold atmosphere?
He doesn't want to, for fear that he will be crazy.
"Where are you going?"
Hearing Zhu Zhanyong's sigh, the guards who knew his situation were all a little sad.
As the saying goes, marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog. When they follow Zhu Zhanyong, they will probably have to be inferior to their colleagues in the future, which will make them feel heartily when they think about it.
Qi Laoliu felt the atmosphere was low and said, "Your Highness, why don't we go overseas in the future. Then we will take our family here, and we will be considered as scattered overseas."
Zhu Zhanyong shook his head and said, "It's not easy, it's almost impossible."
It is definitely impossible for Zhu Gaochi to agree here, and the only hope is his elder brother Zhu Zhanji.
Qi Laoliu said angrily: "Your Highness, let's see in the future. But the young man knows a wealthy businessman. This man is determined to go overseas for trade. If your highness has time, you can go and have a few fun."
...
"Your Highness, this is the Luo Quan family. I came here a few times when I was young, and I am extremely generous."
The door knocked a few times, and someone opened the door soon. When he saw that it was Qi Laoliu, he smiled and greeted him.
"Let your master come out and have a distinguished guest!"
Luo Quan is a person who looks very generous and acts generously. When he sees Zhu Zhanyong, he just bows and does not flatter him.
As I walked in, although there was no colorful flower in the house due to winter, the pavilions were still quite impressive.
After entering a pavilion, someone took a cloth curtain to cover the three sides. Luo Quan saw Zhu Zhanyong frowning slightly, and laughed: "I can't compare to your highness's body, but it's just that. Take it off and send wine, and strong wine!"
Qi Laoliu naturally had no right to come in. He cursed outside: "Luo Quan, if you make Your Highness angry, I will deal with you!"
Luo Quan bowed and said, "Your Highness, there are some businesses in the north and south. The Ministry of Revenue said that luxury goods need to be paid taxes. If you don't say anything, you should be as much as possible, and you will never be vague!"
The heroic spirit is dry!
At this time, a team of maids came with wine and food.
There is no fragrant wind, it is very purely fragrant with wine and vegetables.
Most of these maids were fourteen or fifteen years old, which was the perfect age in the eyes of men at this time.
Zhu Zhanyong narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Quan and said lightly: "These are all tricks. The best people drink good wine, and they will do whatever they want when they are drunk; the middle people drink light wine, and they will show off when they are drunk; the lower people drink strong wine, and they dare to beat the best people when they are drunk... Where are you waiting for someone?"
Luo Quan stood up and poured wine, and after returning to his seat, he said respectfully: "I am the lower class, and I will only sleep when I am drunk."
"But I want to fight."
Luo Quan raised his glass and drank it all, his face flashed red, and he said loudly: "I went to the beach in my early years and asked those who had gone out of the sea. I heard that there were also large islands overseas. The land on the island was not much different from the Ming Dynasty. There were people of all kinds, with gold, silver and spices. I thought that one day I could open the sea in the North Korea, and then build a ship to sail, and see some overseas scenery..."
Zhu Zhanyong picked up the wine glass and put it down, saying, "Then what are you asking for?"
Outside the pavilion, Lao Liu, his legs were weak, and he knelt down and apologized: "Your Highness forgives your crime."
Zhu Zhanyong said coldly: "I have come to my place for personal gain...what do you want to do?"
Qi Laoliu lowered his head and said nothing. Luo Quan stood up to the side, lifted up his robe and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I have heard from Lord Qi mention it once, saying that Your Highness wants to go overseas, and I have some thoughts in it. I think that Your Highness is Your Majesty's son, and maybe I can really go out to sea..."
Zhu Zhanyong smiled slightly, and he remembered Zhu Zhanji who was far away in the south.
The prince's younger brother asked to be granted overseas, and others would say that he was the prince... The emperor could not tolerate anyone, but Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing knew that this was not a bad thing. They once talked about how to deal with the vassal kings.
Overseas is the best place for the vassal kings. As for the future, according to Fang Xing, as the speed of the ship increases, the connection between the local and overseas will naturally become more convenient.
By then, the vassal kings would become more of an honorary title. If the royal family is rich and willing to give it, then they will naturally have a better life.
If you are unwilling to give it to me, then just mess around with your fiefdom. When the local people want to develop overseas, they will become wooden statues in the temple and then live on that little land. Not to mention wealth, there is no shortage of wealth and decent.
For example, in the big place in Luzon, a few vassal kings were sent to the place. After they gained their foothold, local immigrants were sent here continuously, and local officials and army would also follow and gradually expand.
By then, the vassal king really became a rich man with an honorary title.
Zhu Zhanyong thought for a long time and said, "Even if I go out to sea, what do you want?"
This is a trap. Whatever you want is to ask for it.
Luo Quan said generously: "I only want the opportunity to dock and trade in ships. If you are close to Your Highness, you will naturally be the leader in the future. Besides, even if Your Highness cannot go out to sea in the future, it will be no harm."
"If Your Highness can go to sea and become a vassal, I am willing to provide money and food..."
“Invest in advance?”
Zhu Zhanyong found it very interesting, so he stood up and said, "I am just a prince. Are you bold and not afraid of losing money?"
Early investment by merchants is common in history, and Lu Buwei is an example. However, that senior was too awesome and directly targeted a country.
Luo Quan said generously: "What is the loss? How much money can a person spend in his life? I am willing to go and see a wasteland turn into prosperity, that is something worth boasting about my descendants."
"Sons and grandchildren..."
Zhu Zhanyong laughed and shook his head. He had not planned to get married yet. The queen asked him once last time, and he said that the eldest brother would not get married if he had no son.
...
"You have to be more obedient, and you will be chosen as a princess for you when you look back."
The queen looked at her youngest son and felt more care in her heart.
"What kind of thing do you like?"
Zhu Zhanqin blushed and said, "Mother, my second brother hasn't even gotten married yet."
The queen looked a little dazed and said with a forced smile: "Your second brother is stubborn and refuses to get married."
Zhu Zhanqi lowered his head and said, "My mother, then wait."
The queen nodded and sighed, "You are all old and will go out slowly, but the queen is old and can only stay in the palace, hoping that you all will be fine."
...
After leaving the queen, Zhu Zhanji led his men to walk all the way in the palace.
Princess, this is a headache.
Once they get married, they must move out, but Xia Yuanji is most disgusted with the faction of the vassal kings who still have a royal palace in the capital, which would cost too much.
Will you be a feudal immediately after getting married?
Zhu Zhanqi was a little worried. It was not that he didn't want to be a vassal, but that he felt that the atmosphere in the palace was not right. He wanted to stay and see, at least he could help.
But he is so big!
Zhu Zhanyong avoids suspicion and does not return to the palace. He occasionally shows up and returns to the academy.
According to previous examples, it is most likely that the royal palace was built in the capital at this time, but Xia Yuanji was a pass.
"Xiao Fang!"
There was a scream in front of him, and Zhu Zhanji looked up and saw Xiao Fang running over and standing in front of him.
"Xiao Fang."
Wanwan's dog is very good. It doesn't bark or bite people. It is considered a palace lover in the palace.
Zhu Zhanqi leaned over to look at the big dog with low bloodline, and Xiao Fang was also looking at him with his head tilted, and suddenly screamed fiercely.
"Xiao Fang!"
The palace maid from Wanwan came after him. Seeing Xiao Fang calling at Zhu Zhanji, she hurriedly hugged its neck and persuaded her.
Zhu Zhanqi smiled: "But have you been scolded at Wanwan?"
The palace maid turned her head and said, "No, Your Highness, Xiao Fang suddenly ran out. The princess was still in a hurry to find it. I will take it back first."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and when he saw Xiao Fang put on a collar and carried him back, he turned around and barked at him on the way, he couldn't help but feel funny.
...
"Depending on what Your Majesty means... Your Highness will probably have to wait for a few years."
Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji were waiting outside the warmhouse for Zhu Gaochi's call, and then they talked about this.
Xia Yuanji said unhappily: "Don't mention building the royal palace, it's too much."
Yang Rong nodded and said, "I know that if someone starts, those high men will not be able to save money. By then, the Ministry of Revenue will not have a good time this year."
"It's a big mistake to raise a family in the world!"
Xia Yuanji frowned and said, "Your Majesty says that the vassal kings are not very good for the Ming Dynasty, but they have many disadvantages, so save some."
