Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Dayuan is the place where the Dutch retreated to Dongfan Island and established Zeelandia City and Chixian City as Dongfan colonial bases and shipping transfer stations.

The Dutch originally called it Formosa, which comes from the Latin word "beautiful", which shows that the bay in Dayuan must have been extremely beautiful at first.

At this time, Hao Guangming looked at the bird's-eye drone controlled by Aunt Zhu from the first perspective, and saw the sea shimmering, but the beach was close to silvery white.

Zeelandia City, built on the largest Shazhou Island (Yikun), is now taken over by the Ming army and is still used as a naval military base. Therefore, this Shazhou Island wharf does not allow civilian ships to berth.

The Mingyue was a warship belonging to Qinglongying, and now it was Zhu Yu's ship, so it was naturally qualified to berth at Zeelandia City Wharf.

To the south, across the bay, is the wharf of Dayuan County, Dongfan Prefecture.

Looking down from the sky, one can see that the sea near the pier is full of merchant ships, and the sails of the ships are connected into pieces, like white clouds covering the sea.

A main street extends from the pier to the former Chixian City.

With Chixian City as the center, there are three other streets connecting the concrete road, extending into the distance.There are two more ring-shaped concrete roads connecting these four roads, creating a large ring road and a second ring road.

Seeing this, Hao Guangming couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This senior is actually a county without city walls!"

Aunt Zhu did not expect that in only ten years or so, the senior officials would be able to develop so prosperously.

She thought of the population and household registration data reported by Dayuan County last year—570 registered households with a population of [-]!

But if you count the floating population, there are more than [-] senior officials!

The entire Dongfan Prefecture consists of fourteen counties.Even though Dayuan is the seat of the government and has the largest population, other counties have relatively small populations.But if the naturalized ethnic minorities are counted, the population of Dongfan Prefecture has reached more than 70!
Such an achievement is different from the fact that the Ming Dynasty insisted on immigrating to Dongfan Island for more than ten years after it recovered Dongfan Island in the third year of Zhaowu.

Therefore, seeing the prosperity of the senior officials with her own eyes at this time, Aimee Zhu was slightly surprised, but couldn't help but feel proud.

Immediately, she smiled and said to Hao Guangming: "My husband may not know that in the south of my Ming Dynasty, many counties do not have city walls.

Because many counties are derived from towns, the business is prosperous, the water and land routes extend in all directions, and there is no worry about soldiers in the interior, and the number of settled people increases every year, so there are towns without walls. City! "

Zhu Yuxi, who has absorbed a lot of knowledge from later generations, knows that a city that does not need city walls can be a symbol of a country's prosperity in commerce and trade, its military strength to a certain extent, and domestic peace and stability.

Daming can have many cities without walls, pay attention to explain that the power and prosperity of Daming has already ranked above all the countries in the world.

···
On the other side, the Mingyue was moored at the military port on Sand Island in Zeelandia City, but Zhu Yuxi and others transferred to the local navy ship and went to play in the "city" of Dayuan.

During this process, Auntie Zhu fixed the miniature camera on her chest, and sent all the scenes she saw to Hao Guangming and Auntie Zhu for viewing.

I saw that the business of the big staff is really prosperous, and the people who come and go are quite complicated.The Ming people were the most, followed by the natives of Dongfan Island, followed by the Japanese and people from the Nanyang island countries, and finally the Westerners.

While Dayuan's architecture is dominated by the Ming style, it is also inclusive. When walking, it gives people a strange feeling of being in a foreign land.

However, the goods in the shops on both sides of the street are still mainly products of Ming Dynasty, but there are some shops selling fur, or shops specializing in handicrafts of Dongfan ethnic minorities.

Of course, there are also shops selling specialties from Japan, Southeast Asia, and the West.

There are so many things to see, it is dizzying.

Although Dongfan Island is good, Auntie Zhu didn't stay for long.Because in her view, Dongfan Island is a mansion of Daming, and she can come back anytime she wants in the future.

So, after only three days of playing with the crew, she took her companions back to the Mingyue and set sail again to the Greater Luzon Islands, which is the South China Sea Province of Ming Dynasty.

More than half a month later, the Mingyue appeared at the port of Aobo City led by King Lu.

The 51-year-old king of Lu, Zhu Changhao, heard that Princess Kunqing was coming, and went to the pier to greet her in person despite the hot weather.

"Uncle Lu, why do you have to come to greet you in such a hot day? Just wait for Concubine Aim to visit you at the palace."

Seeing Zhu Changhao, Auntie Zhu greeted her very warmly, she didn't look like a woman at all, but like a generous man.

So Zhu Changhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "What did Princess Kunqing say? You came all the way from Nanjing, traveling thousands of miles. It's been so hard. How could uncle not come to greet you?"

On the other side, Hao Guangming and Zhu Yuxi almost didn't recognize Zhu Changhao after seeing Zhu Changhao through the level.

Because compared to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changhao, who was slightly fat, not only became thinner, but also obviously darker than before.

Both of them would not believe that Zhu Changhao often went to work outside, but it was possible to play outside.

It can only be said that the weather in Nanyang is indeed too sunny and hot to raise fair people.

Here, after Zhu Changhao exchanged pleasantries with Zhu Aimee, he took her and her companions to Prince Lu's Mansion, where they prepared a banquet to welcome her.

During this process, Hao Guangming and Zhu Wei also saw the current scene of Aobo City through the camera.

King Lu originally had the highest feudal capital among the several vassal kings in Nanyang. Later, he discovered a small gold mine, which put the development of the king's territory on the fast track.

In addition, he himself only likes arts such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is not too stupid, so now Aobo City is developing pretty well.

However, the reason why Zhu Changhao was willing to come to Nanyang to become a vassal was because he wanted to build an art capital.

So after the development of Aobo City, Zhu Changhao introduced many policies to attract artists.

Routine points, such as holding various competitions, giving high bonuses to the top few, and even giving officials.

For unconventional ones, such as setting up multiple art museums in the city, as long as they have skills, they can enjoy free accommodation and free meals in the art museums.

In addition, the art museum also has bonuses and grants, which are specially given to those with high artistic talents or talents.

Every three years, Zhu Changhao will spend tens of thousands of yuan to hold "art fairs" and other festivals!

It even gave birth to a festival called "Aobo Arts Festival"!

Zhu Changhao's fanatical and persistent pursuit of art made art-loving people at home and abroad in Daming yearn for Aobo City, or have settled in Aobo City.

Among them, there are those who are highly skilled and can be called artists.When more are just mediocre people, or even ordinary entertainers who rely on their skills to make a living, they come to fame and want to seek a fortune in Luwang.

Therefore, when Aimee Zhu and the others entered the boundary of Aobo City, they could see people performing their talents on the street within a short distance.

Knowing that Zhu Changxiao has the best music, the most performers perform all kinds of musical instruments, singing and tunes.

Such a scene really opened the eyes of Aimee Zhu and the others.

Chen Yonghua couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It has long been heard that Aobo City, led by King Lu, has the title of the Art City, which gathers tens of thousands of artists from all over the world. I thought it was an exaggeration, but it may be true after seeing it today."

He Ming nodded in agreement when he heard the words, "From the time we got off the pier to the gate of the city, I've probably seen hundreds of artists!"

On the other hand, Hao Guangming also felt that the number of artists in Aobo City was exaggerated, so he couldn't help muttering: "My God, the artistic atmosphere in Aobo City is so strong that even our Paris and Vienna may not be able to catch up."

One more today.

I wish readers and friends a happy May Day and have a good time!
