Since Zhu Youxiao has come to Macao, he does not intend to leave Macao immediately after a brief inspection, but intends to stay here for a while.

After all, it's winter, and it's a good choice to take advantage of the cold weather to escape the cold in the south.

Although the establishment of the customs was formulated by Zhu Youxiao himself using the information exchanged by the system, he was not familiar with the specific process, and many of them were supplemented by officials according to the actual situation.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is now in Macao to understand the specific operation process of the entire Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, how much profit flows to the Ming Dynasty every year, how much can be divided among the various strata of the Ming Dynasty, and who benefits the most, in Macao's customs can take a peek at one or two.

Coming to Macau is not only to understand the specific customs process of the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao also wants to actually experience these Western shops and feel some of the unique commercial flavors here.

Therefore, accompanied by Liu Bin, chief officer of the Fifth Army, and several other relatively capable soldiers of the Fifth Army, Zhu Youxiao, Ning Concubine, and Liu Rushi decided to take a stroll around the downtown area of Macao on this day.

Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, was crawled by Zhu Youxiao to inspect the construction situation in the neighboring Hai'an (today's Xiang0 Port), while Li Mingrui was sent to inspect the administrative situation and the people's atmosphere in Macao, Foshan, Zhongshan, and other prefectures, to see what impact the opening of the sea trade would have on the lives of some local peasants and ordinary people in Guangdong, and whether some policies needed to be improved.

Sometimes the magistrates will focus on achieving some of the political goals that the central court is most concerned about at the expense of the interests of some people, and even use the central court as a pretense to pretend to be powerful, and if the central court wants to know the truth, it is not enough to rely on Dongchang alone, and no one knows who will be bribed by whom.

So the two did not accompany Zhu Youxiao to visit the downtown of Macau.

There is no need to worry about the security of Macau, as a town jointly managed by the army and the government, there is basically no green skin and land snake that can be used to make trouble and destroy the business environment, and under the cold guns of the Ming Dynasty, the Westerners can only do business honestly, and dare not be as powerful as in India.

Not only that, although Zhu Youxiao did not bring a few people to escort him on the surface, almost every time he came to a circle of 500 steps, there were people secretly protecting him and nipping the danger in the bud.

On the surface, Zhu Youxiao let Ning Concubine Luo, who was more and more upright and elegant but not inferior to Empress Zhang Yan, hold her imperial hand, and she was like an ordinary rich businessman in the downtown of Macau, which was almost unstoppable.

For a while, when she walked to a store selling Western paintings a few days ago, and saw these daughters in the paintings without clothes, Liu Ru couldn't help but be speechless, covering her hands in front of her eyes, but quietly opened a gap, while Ning Concubine Luozhen was still smiling, and only moved her eyes to Zhu Youxiao.

At this time, Liu Bin, the chief officer of the Fifth Army, who was pretending to be a housekeeper, also looked away, and at the same time couldn't help but think in his heart, why did this Macao prefect let such an immoral thing be sold in the city, which was simply unsightly.

However, to his surprise, Zhu Youxiao watched it carefully, and picked a few good ones and ordered someone to wrap them.

Liu Bin was a little puzzled, why His Majesty was interested in such a painting, Liu Ru and Ning Concubine Luo were also equally stunned, and glanced at each other, but they were not easy to ask.

Not long after leaving, a few people saw a ready-to-wear store selling dresses, the store is a Florentine, and now the Royal Academy of Sciences Galileo is a fellow countryman, this is a translator, now specializing in the clothing business in Macau, is also a more strategic person, with the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty's textile technology, coupled with the beginning of the emergence of chemical fiber technology, the cost of cloth began to decrease, most of them are no longer willing to spend time to cut clothes, more people who pursue glossy and beautiful choose to buy ready-to-wear.

And this Florentine native has also made a lot of money in Macau, and now when he saw Zhu Youxiao and others coming in, he also knew that he was a big customer when he saw his bearing and clothes, so he was even more attentive, and he was busy taking out many of the most beautiful dresses for Zhu Youxiao's concubines Ning and Liu Ru to choose.

The two chose a few, and Zhu Youxiao also asked them to give it a try, but when Ning Concubine Luozhen put on an open-breasted dress, it became more and more that her jade peak was towering and ready to burst out, which made Ning Concubine Luozhen more and more shy, and couldn't help blushing, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Master, don't want it, this dress is a bit of a big scenery." ”

"Where is the scenery ruined, so that you can show your different charm", said, at this time, Zhu Youxiao was also stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Ru coming out wearing a tulle skirt with a peach heart collar, and had to sigh that this kind of chest exposed through the tulle made her jade muscles and snow bones come out.

"Shopkeeper, I want all of these things, Liu Bin pays", Zhu Youxiao said and gave Liu Bin two large bags wrapped in a group of burdens, and Liu Ru and Ning Concubine Luoqi both smiled, although this Western dress is a little exposed, but for women, their nature is to like these beautiful things.

In the end, Zhu Youxiao took them to pick out a few pieces of jewelry, bought some Western sculptures, some Western books and other small gifts, and did not prepare to return to the prefect's yamen until the sun set.

However, when Zhu Youxiao and others returned to the prefect's yamen, it was also when the lanterns of Macao were first on, Zhu Youxiao saw that this most exotic Daming town showed another side, and the dignitaries and nobles living in Macao and some wealthy Westerners showed their other side, no longer acting in accordance with the rules and regulations of the prefect's yamen, but eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling unruly.

Everywhere you can see some flower buildings bright as day, the door is wide open, countless Western women from the other side of the ocean wear exposed upstairs to dance, because the prefect yamen strictly forbids the Ming to operate the sound and sex industry here, so the whole body of Western women who sell their bodies here.

It is precisely because of this that many mainland prodigals who want to taste the taste of Yanmar come here thousands of miles to spend a lot of money.

Seeing that this was a huge profit, some Western merchants simply deceived and bought beautiful Western women from Europa and other regions, and taught Chinese poems, hoping to come to Macao to make a fortune from the rich people of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the sound, but also the attraction is gambling, at this time Macau has begun to have signs of a very developed gambling industry, whether it is the Ming gentry or the wealthy Western businessmen who come here, it is not a new thing to lose millions almost overnight, of course, there are people here suddenly overnight rich.

And people want to be the latter, so more people flock to it, but in fact, most people are going to go home in despair, only to increase Macau's taxes.
