The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 690

After both of them got up from the ground, Zhu Hongyu gave orders.

"Give a seat!"

Not long after, someone moved a few embroidered piers over.

Zhu Hongyu turned his eyes back to his fishing rod again, and just asked.

"How is the King of Joseon's health recently?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan got up from the embroidered pier, leaned slightly and spoke.

"On behalf of my father, I thank Your Majesty for your concern!"

"Father is in good health now!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said without looking back.

"You don't have to stand, sit down!"

"North Korea is Daming's first vassal. Daming is like a father and brother to a son and nephew to North Korea."

"When you come to Daming, it's no different from going home!"

"Don't be restrained!"

Although Zhu Hongyu has ideas about North Korea.

But before his idea was implemented and North Korea truly became the territory of Ming Dynasty, he didn't mind showing the tolerance and kindness of the vassal state to the vassal state.

When a bitch has to set up a memorial archway!
As the kingdom of heaven, Ming Dynasty is the lighthouse of civilization in the known world, so it is natural to decorate the facade.

Daming can't do what the barbarians in the West do when encountering troubles, just put their face in their trouser pockets, and don't care about anything, as long as the interests come.

It's just that although Zhu Hongyu said that Li Xuan doesn't need to be restrained, how can Li Xuan really be free.

After all, the one in front of him is the emperor of Ming Dynasty!
The most powerful man in the world!

Zhu Hongyu didn't care much when he saw that Li Xuan was restrained, and said in a relaxed tone.

"You came to Daming to learn. You have to learn the principles of being a human being, and moreover, the way of governing a country. All of these must be calmed down."

"We must refrain from arrogance and impetuosity, so that we can return home as soon as possible and make North Korea more prosperous!"

"Looking back, I will arrange for you to study in the Imperial College. You can't let me down!"

As soon as Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, Li Xuan said in a very sensible manner.

"I will live up to your majesty's great trust. I must study hard and manage North Korea well in the future so that I can serve as a fence for the Celestial Dynasty."

Zhu Hongyu nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Li Enhui beside him.

"En Hui, how old are you this year?"

Li Enhui was a princess in North Korea, and she was favored by thousands of people. Coupled with her young age, she was naturally a little arrogant.

But in front of Zhu Hongyu, she was also nervous, facing Zhu Hongyu's question, she just said timidly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this concubine is ten years old."

In order to make herself look more mature, Li Enhui specially asked the maid to draw an adult's makeup for herself.

When reporting my age, I also reported two years more to Dali.

Zhu Hongyu smiled and nodded slightly, but he didn't expose her, he just opened his mouth to make arrangements.

"You are still young, so you don't need to rush into the palace, go to school and study math for a few years first!"

"There is also a girls' school in the Guozijian, and they are all attended by children from families of nobles and nobles. The King of Joseon can be regarded as my vassal of the Ming Dynasty, so I will also arrange for you to study in the Guozijian."

"An'an, learn a few years of knowledge with peace of mind, and wait for you, and then talk about entering the palace!"

"During this period, your food and clothing expenses are the same as those of the other concubines in the palace, so you can study at ease, and you don't need to think about other things."

Li Enhui nodded timidly when she heard the words.

"The courtiers and concubines listen to His Majesty!"

After hearing Zhu Hongyu's words from the side, Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his sister was beautiful, so he was afraid that Zhu Hongyu would arrange for Li Enhui to enter the palace to serve her.

Li Enhui is too young, so she can't sit in bed now. If she is forced to sit in bed, something will happen.

Fortunately, depending on the situation, the emperor didn't plan to move his sister right now, but just arranged for Li Enhui to study.

At this moment, the fishing rod in Zhu Hongyu's hand moved again.

With the shaking of the fishing line, Zhu Hongyu said with joy on his face.

"Hey! Hey!"

"Quick, fish again!"

Not long after, a grass carp was caught.

At noon that day, Zhu Hongyu left Li Wei, Liao Zhou and others to have lunch with him.

What he ate was the fish that Zhu Hongyu caught with his own hands.

……

After everyone left, Zhu Hongyu enjoyed his own leisure time in the afternoon.

A pot of tea, a plate of refreshments, quietly enjoy singing and dancing.

The singing is crisp and melodious, and the silk and bamboo orchestra is as beautiful as big beads falling on a jade plate.

The dancing girl has a slender figure, her white and greasy skin looming under the light gauze gown.

Enjoying all this, Zhu Hongyu finally realized the joy of being a fool.

But he only enjoyed it for a while, and then asked the singing and dancing to be withdrawn.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Hongyu received envoys from Britain and the Ottoman Empire respectively.

The business agreements with the two countries have been finalized one by one!
The two sides open ports and routes to each other.

Allow merchants from the opposing party to come to their own country for trade.

And send ambassadors to each other, allowing each other to build embassies on their own land.

In addition, it was also finalized in the agreement that any foreigner who came to Daming must abide by the laws of Daming.

If there are criminals, Daming will deal with them according to the Law of Daming.

However, if a Ming businessman breaks the law in a foreign country, the foreign country has no right to deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty alone. It needs the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty to come forward, and then punish them according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it means extraterritoriality!
Regarding this point, both the British and the Ottomans agreed, although they were reluctant.

Because, the East-West trade in this era is really profitable.

However, the lifeblood of the East-West trade is controlled by Da Ming. If Da Ming does not do business with you, then you cannot participate in the East-West trade to get a share of the pie.

Because, Ming Dynasty is the only one in the East.

And in the west, there are many countries that want to do business with Daming!

In other words, Daming had a choice, but they had no choice.

If you want to do business with Daming, you have to abide by Daming's rules!

Even if Daming's rules are unreasonable, you can only accept it.

As we all know, make money, don't tremble!

As for sending warships to Da Ming to make gestures...

If it were placed 200 years after the previous life, the West might have this strength.

But now they can't!
Not to mention Europe, even if all the countries in the world add up, they still don't have the ability to defeat Daming in the coastal waters of Daming.

……

Honglu Temple post house!
Si Luosen, the envoy of the Ottoman Empire, was sitting on a huanghuali chair, looking at everything in the room with a look of reluctance on his face.

Although Daming's decoration of houses is not like that of the Ottoman Empire, gold is used everywhere, full of local tyrants.

But when it comes to exquisiteness, it is more than that!

Silk, porcelain, precious wood, antiques, literary play, and the four treasures of the study.

Although these things may not look as eye-catching as gold, their real value is much higher than before the gold was returned.

Can you believe that an ordinary-looking teacup is worth far more than the same weight of gold?
A seemingly ordinary chair is made of wood that is more expensive than silver, can you believe it?
Xi Luosen had a good understanding of what low-key luxury is.

The biggest purpose of Xi Luosen coming to Daming this time is to open up business routes with Daming!
Now that his goal has been achieved, it is almost time for him to return to Ottoman and return to Sultan Mehmed IV.

However, after he stayed in Daming's capital for a period of time, he was a little reluctant to leave.

Nanjing's prosperity, wealth, cleanliness, civilization, and everything else fascinated him deeply.

He feels that compared with those cities in the Ottoman Empire, Nanjing is simply a paradise on earth!
Not to mention anything else, in terms of cleanliness alone, the gap between the two sides is not so big.
