However, Zhu Houzhao on the side is not as meticulous as his mother Queen Zhang, he also has to go to the city of Guangzhou, Zhu Houzhao has done an investigation before, and the one responsible for docking Western countries is the city of Guangzhou, so just go directly to the Guangzhou City Department!

Zhu Houzhao set off, and he did a lot of work along the way.

The main function of the Municipal Shipping Division is to inspect passing ships and collect taxes on ships from various countries, of course, taxation is an old-fashioned way.

The format used by the Ming Dynasty was bribed, and the official drew six points, Zhu Houzhao pondered carefully, whatever, he was here to find the merchant ship of the Franc machine.

Of course, what kind of goods to divide. For precious goods, the imperial court directly monopolized them. Generally, high-end goods are the first to be enjoyed by the emperor's nobles, after all, they have such social status and economic ability, which is to put it bluntly, rich and powerful.

Of course, if the people of the Ming Dynasty want to go to sea to trade, they must apply for a pass, and only those who have been certified by the Municipal Shipping Division can go to sea. Of course, most of the shipping in the Ming Dynasty now goes to sea along the route of Zheng He's voyage to the West, although the sea ban policy has been for many years, but it is still unable to resist the overseas trade in a small area.

Zhu Houzhao and his entourage walked for about five days, and finally arrived at Guangzhou Mansion quickly. After settling down in Guangzhou Mansion, Zhu Houzhao was ready to go to the city to have a look, because what he really wanted was to find the Francophone man.

The city port division is near the wharf, Zhu Houzhao saw the crowd coming and going on the wharf, it was the first time he came to this kind of wharf with many foreign people.

Soon, the stewards and eunuchs of the City Department came out to greet Zhu Houzhao.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing this time? ”

"This palace is here to give you a mission. I wonder if you know a merchant or a cargo ship from Franc Machine? Hongu is looking for a few merchants of the Franc machine. Zhu Houzhao got straight to the point, "If anyone can provide it, and this Franc machine can provide the palace with what the palace wants, then there will be a heavy reward!" ”

"Your Highness, among these cargo ships that came today, there is a ship from the Franco! However, most of the Franc machine people are cunning, and His Royal Highness should not deal with the Franc machine people! The eunuch cautioned.

"Naturally, you don't have to worry about this, then I bother you to introduce the Franco merchant to this palace, remember not to reveal the identity of this palace!" Zhu Houzhao told again and again.

"The slave and maid knew, and the slave and maid went to call the Franc machine people. Let's just say that there is a sale at the door, does Your Highness think it's okay? ”

"Okay, that's all. Go ahead and do it, the main palace is waiting here! Zhu Houzhao sat down and took a sip of tea, this tea was from last year, because it didn't taste very fresh.

"Entertain the main palace, actually with last year's tea! The hospitality is not good, and it will be written down in a small notebook for a while! Zhu Hou took care of their daily life and thought about it, but forget it, a person as magnanimous as Bengong doesn't care about this trivial matter, of course, there are exceptions.

Soon, several of the ship's Franc machine people came to the room where Zhu Houzhao was under the leadership of the steward eunuch.

"Do they understand the language of my Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Houzhao said curiously.

"Childe, they understand! This is our son, you are going to have a big deal! Look close, don't miss out on big business. The eunuch hurriedly withdrew after explaining, and only these two Francophiles and Zhu Houzhao were left in the room.

"Hello, I want to do a business with you, you are Franc people, right?" Zhu Houzhao said, "What do you call the two of you?" ”

"Flower Beta!"

"Flower Schuck!"

"My name is Ye Liangchen, and I'm glad to meet you!"

"Yes, we're from Franco. Don't know what kind of business you have? "That's a good machine.

"I heard that your great navigator Columbus brought back some new crop seeds from a distant continent, I don't know if you can bring some back, I will buy them at a high price!" Zhu Houzhao got straight to the point, "And I want a seed that is yellow like a tooth, I have to do this!" Feel free to do the rest! ”

"You've heard of Christopher Columbus the Great, and indeed we've heard of him bringing a lot of crops from the Golden Continent, but they're all very expensive!" The two Francophiles looked at each other.

"Whatever you want, you can make a bid!" Zhu Houzhao is very direct.

"I don't know if this son, can you get the kind of good porcelain and handicrafts that are specially customized for our nobles in Western countries, if you can provide us with a hundred pieces, we can also bring you these crops!" Francobot opened his mouth because these were the things they couldn't ask for.

"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao readily agreed.

The two Francophiles were a little surprised, it was obvious that they had underestimated Zhu Houzhao's strength, but they had already spoken.

"Can we work together for a long time?" The eyes of the two Franco-robots lit up like beasts that smelled blood.

"Yes, but how about bringing no less than three crops in the New World at a time, and the quantity of each must not be less than three hundred catties? As long as you can supply it, I can supply it. And the officials of the city department will be the first to give you pass, how about it? Zhu Houzhao is full of confidence, like a stupid son of a landlord.

"Okay, deal!" Franc replied, "How about signing the contract now?" ”

"Good!" Zhu Houzhao responded so coolly,. Of course, this contract is a copy of the contract in both the Franc machine script and the Chinese language, and of course, Zhu Houzhao also invited someone who is proficient in the prophecy of the Franc machine to check the contract of the two parties, and the people from the city department came to do the notarization.

"In that case, I'm going to prepare the goods. You also go back to the Franc machine to prepare the crops found in the New World, and be sure to keep them! Zhu Houzhao advised.

"How long does it take you to go back and forth and look for crops?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"It's about two and a half months!" Franc replied.

"Okay, then we'll see you in two and a half months!" Zhu Houzhao said.

After everything was dealt with, Zhu Houzhao said hello to the city, once this Franc machine man arrived, he would immediately report it, and entertain them with good food and drink, of course, if he didn't bring crops, or take other things to fool him, then fattened and slaughtered, and sold at a good price!

Anyway, there is more than this ship, this one is gone, so find the next one, there will always be someone who is interested and obediently cooperates!

Zhu Houzhao solved this matter and received a letter from his mother, Empress Zhang.

"What kind of letter is this from the queen mother to this palace, open it and take a look!" Zhu Houzhao opened the letter, and couldn't help but blush, it turned out that he was painting with a woman in Yangzhou, and his mother knew about it.

"Sure enough, it's the queen mother of this palace, and I have explained the woman's name and where her family lives, and several members of the family have explained it clearly to this palace!" Zhu Houzhao was still thinking about what to do if he couldn't find it again, but now it's okay.

"Queen Mother, sons love you!" Zhu Houzhao happily muttered to himself.
