Fang Jifan read the letter and couldn't help but dance: "Wang Xizuo is really capable, haha... When he comes back, he will reward him with dozens of acres of land."

After Fang Jifan said that, he encountered another problem.

Visiting group...

How to entertain?

I don't know how to speak Francis.

I will only know a few words and I will touch you with Goode.

He was silent for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao standing beside him, he was happy: "Your Highness, there is something that you have to entrust your Highness to do."

"What are you doing?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan vigilantly.

Fang Jifan said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is well-versed in history and knows the language of all nations. It's really amazing."

Zhu Houzhao gradually lowered his vigilance and said happily: "This is nothing. I have only learned more than a dozen types. Although it is unprecedented, I think that future generations will finally have one or two cats and dogs, and what if I can do it."

Fang Jifan said: "Now there are a group of Franchise men. His Royal Highness is noble. It is time for them to feel at home. If His Royal Highness can take them to play and walk around, it would be great."

Fang Jifan was worried when ordinary people went to entertain him.

These people owe their own money.

It's the uncle who owe money.

If these guys returned to Franchise and chopped off their debt agent Wang Xizuo, who should they look for?

As for me, I have a little irritable temper, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different. He can't be more proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun.

Zhu Houzhao said oh, "So it's such a trivial matter. Otherwise, I'll try it, but what are you going to do?"

"I must prepare a memorial immediately, sort out the message from Franchis, and report it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Northern Province, which is very important. I am afraid that the court will discuss it again."

"Then I'll leave it to me." Zhu Houzhao seemed very happy.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao agreed so happily, Fang Jifan began to doubt his life... Generally speaking, the more straightforward His Highness the Crown Prince, the greater the chance of something happening.

But Fang Jifan was really thinking about how to digest the news from the Franji. Next, the court was afraid that there would be another verbal battle. The northern province was a fulcrum for the Ming Dynasty's strategy of the Franji. It was nothing but a northern province thousands of miles away, but it was the national policy of the Franji of the Ming Dynasty. This was not simple.

…………

Ziller and the visitors landed in Tianjin.

As soon as they arrived in Tianjin, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

This is a much larger harbor than the ports in the northern province.

After that, without waiting for them to stay, a carriage carried them into the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

They saw villages everywhere along the way, and the roads were flowing endlessly, and even... in the distance, they could see huge steel monsters whizzing.

This visit was more of a degree of helplessness.

Just as the French made peace with the Ottomans in order to break the siege of the Spanish Kingdom.

This time...the reason why they came to the Ming Dynasty was because they had to seek help from the outside world after the rebellion.

Ziller was a nobleman. His family background can be traced back to the Western Roman Empire. His family has always been in the northern provinces and has some connection with the royal family of France.

But... like all Dutch nobles, Ziller both hated the Spanish rulers, and was also quite alert to the covetous eyes of the French kingdom.

The French king had an absolute advantage since the British-French War. In the territory of the French Kingdom, he began to remove the power of the nobles and transform countless territories into provinces directly under the king's jurisdiction. This greatly strengthened the power of the French royal family and made the French royal family become the most powerful royal family in Europe, but it also caused many nobles to complain.

Now... many people are calm.

They realized that the Governor had not deceived himself.

When they arrived at the capital... they were even more shocked by this huge city with a population of more than one million.

They saw continuous residential areas, crisscrossing streets, and countless cars and horses. Compared with it, the northern province is even the largest city, but it is more like a village.

They arrived at a place, and then a noble man greeted them with many entourages.

The man was dressed in a very decent dress, wearing a chic crown on his head, and said, "You can speak French, Spanish, or English."

This is in Spanish.

The visiting group is full of views, look at me, look at you.

They all speak Spanish.

But out of disgust with the Spanish, Ziller said: "We all speak French."

Then, the person's language began to switch: "This is great. I also like to speak French the most. Is that what I say? Will you have some obstacles after listening to it?"

This noble man who calls himself the palace obviously has a strong accent in his language, but... he pronounces clearly and communicates without any obstacles.

Of course this person is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "The Duke of Qi has some things. In the past two days, I will let me take you with you and take a look."

Ziller and others did not know Zhu Houzhao's identity.

Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to say anything.

He took his men to visit the capital, from the school, to the hospital, to the theater, and even... there was a steam locomotive station, the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, a garden between the adjacent New Town and the Fifth Ring Road, and various workshops.

Ziller's eyes were about to be straightened.

He could neither imagine that a city could accommodate such a huge population nor could it imagine how much productivity such a huge city could bring.

He was just a quick look, but it was more like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

Immediately afterwards, he was even taken by Zhu Houzhao to visit a newly built mansion, which was a five-story building and a red brick house. It was covered with cement and after leveling the cement, it was painted.

The weather is a little cold, and there is heating in the house. People don’t want to come out after entering the house.

This is a new building, and the sales office is not far away.

There seemed to be many people, people were crowded at the door of the sales office, sweating profusely, and everyone was shouting something.

Ziller and others were puzzled.

Then, the salesperson respectfully came to Zhu Houzhao's face and said something. Ziller couldn't hold it in his arms. After he left, he looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Your Excellency, what is this?"

They are fresh and exciting about everything here.

The city here is even dozens of times larger than Paris.

Many facilities were the first time they saw.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Someone came to buy a house. The robbery was too powerful and it was noisy. Unfortunately, it was sold out and I hadn't bought it, so I could not be cursed."

Ziller and others looked at each other.

Can I buy a house...real estate...is it possible to sell it like this?

This reminded them of tulips, which they snatched in the past.

"Your Excellency... I think... the popularity of real estate may not be a good thing."

"Who said that?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Ziller with a smile.

Ziller was very serious: "This property is nothing more than bricks and stones. No matter how beautiful it is, it is not enough to grab it."

Zhu Houzhao stood on the windowsill and pointed at the outside of the windowsill: "The house is built of civil engineering, does it cost?"

Ziller is happy to discuss this issue with Zhu Houzhao.

What Zhu Houzhao said made them nod subconsciously.

Zhu Houzhao then said, "Look, you can live here, and going out is the road. Is this road worth the money?"

Everyone looked at the straight road, and Ziller nodded first: "Yes, such a road can provide a lot of convenience."

"Look in the distance, the chimney is the workshop. This workshop is work. Two streets are the school and the hospital. If you buy a house, it is not just a place to shelter from the wind and rain. This is related to the reading, entertainment, and work of the whole family. You can take a look..."

Zhu Houzhao ordered people to take the map and said, "This is where we are. Have you noticed that if you sell a piece of land here, you will lose one piece? This is a good place, not to mention that you can buy a house for only a dozen taels of silver. Where is such a good thing in the world?"

Ziller and others were shocked.

More than ten taels of silver.

They roughly understood the value of the Ming currency.

This is equivalent to four Spanish gold coins.

Although the four Spanish gold coins are valuable, they are not many for the visitors. Even though they have experienced the crisis, the lean camel is bigger than a horse...

So cheap?

"Because Xishan Money House provides loans, the interest rate is extremely low. How many do you guess is it? Only five points..."

call……

The merchants who accompanied the visiting group exclaimed.

The lending in Europe is still in a very primitive stage, and banks have not yet appeared. As for loans, most of them are private loans from the people of Yutai, but the interest is terrible. Five points, this is a good person, and inflation has always existed. Whether it is Europe or the Ming Dynasty, if it is the merchants, their interest will be more than five times.

People looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You only need dozens of taels of silver to live here. Is it comfortable? Look at this house, the security is excellent, and there are special managers at the bottom to clean up garbage every day. There are special thatched cottages on each floor, and... You see... there are heating here, you look at the glass window..."

Zhu Houzhao talked about the advantages of this house with relish.

Ziller and others began to whisper again, and at this time they gradually began to understand some of the reasons why those people robbed the house.

Tulips...that's a fruit, but the house...it seems...it does have its value.

People stood on the windowsill on the fifth floor and looked out the window. There was also a market on the street at Xiatou. The market was filled with cars and horses, which were extremely noisy.

Ziller sighed in his heart that if... he had bought a real estate instead of tulips, maybe... his situation would not have been so bad.

But……
