Fortunately, there was also a caravan of Daming in their group, and he heard someone ask about His Highness's whereabouts, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming had entered the city, and just in case, their armored vehicles could send shells to the city at any time.

I really want to see the power of the cannonballs!

Na Kong Ying couldn't help but think that although it was his kingdom, Siam was so big, even if Ayutthaya fell, as long as Lamexuan could die, it wouldn't matter.

The ships ferried some of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the rest of the merchants stayed on the side where the armored vehicles were, waiting for the evening to start trading on the river, and then they participated.

And those merchants who followed the past were elected, and from now on the four companies responsible for Siamese transactions will participate in the negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Siam, understand the details, and promote the business here in the future.

I just don't know, this time, what did His Highness fancy to Siam?

When the others arrived at the palace, the sun had just risen.

Mahalie was woken up by the cacophony of sounds, she woke up from under a betel nut tree, looked up from between her folded arms, and saw that the empty man and the others had come in from outside with a group of Ming people, who should have come to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty as soon as they returned, covered in dust and looking very tired.

Afraid of being seen, Mahali quietly stood up and hid behind the betel nut tree, looking at the merchants with envy.

They were dressed in bright clothes, and their demeanor was so elegant and calm, as if they were heavenly beings, even if they were very tired, they still had warm smiles on their faces.

Zhu Gaoxian had already eaten breakfast, and after enjoying the morning scenery in the Siam palace in high spirits, he waited in the main hall.

The dog was reporting to him, "That princess didn't go back last night and hid in our palace. The slaves and maids did not dare to alarm her. ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Gaoxian said in a surging voice, he was not interested in any princess, and naturally he was not interested in participating in these things in Siam.

For him, his biggest purpose was to get the most benefits from Siam for the Ming Dynasty, and the minerals, oil, and tree resources here were all things that Zhu Gaoxian wanted to move back to.

"They've all arrived, haven't they? When they arrive, let them in! ”

The dog said "yes", then turned around and walked out of the palace, he understood what His Royal Highness meant, His Royal Highness has no interest in women, too, there are so many women in the Ming Dynasty, why should His Highness be entangled with a woman of different races?

The dog walked outside, and saw the empty merchant leading the Ming Dynasty coming.

At this time, Na Kongying was very glad that he was left behind, and he could establish a relationship with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and communicate with each other.

"Father-in-law dog, dare to ask me if I can ask to see His Highness?" Agarwood Bao asked.

"Your Highness is waiting for you, please come with me!" The dog nodded, and he walked ahead, saying as he walked, "The heads of the family have worked hard all the way!" ”

"It's all for Da Ming and ourselves!" Someone said it humbly.

Soon, when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhu Gaoxian heard the movement, raised his eyes to look over, and said loudly, "Come in!" ”

He then instructed, "There are not many people, so we will set breakfast here, and after dinner, you will rest a little, and discuss anything in the afternoon." ”

This is extremely considerate!

The merchants were all grateful, but none of them said anything to excuse themselves, after all, it was too rude.

Zhu Gaoxian's eyes fell on the empty body, although it was only for a moment, but Zhu Gaoxian still did not miss the unwillingness and stubbornness that flashed in the empty eyes.

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, and he bowed his head towards the empty man, "Thank you Prince Supanburi for taking care of my Ming people, hard work!" ”

"Serving His Royal Highness the Prince, I am so happy!" Suphan Buri said in fluent Chinese.

Zhu Gaoxian suddenly felt very kind, and he raised his hand towards the table, "If the prince doesn't dislike it, you can taste my Daming food." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the gift!" Su Pan Wuli was immediately flattered, and he gave Zhu Gaoxian a big gift, "His Royal Highness the Emperor, I have been to Daming, and I have been given by Emperor Taizu Gao, I have always been very yearning for Daming, if there is a chance in the future, I want to go to Daming to meet His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness." ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "I am willing to establish contacts and contacts with every country that coexists in harmony with the Ming Dynasty, as a prince, I am willing to grant the prince a long-term residence status, the prince can go to my Daming at any time, and live as long as you want." ”

In a private capacity, of course.

"That's great!" The emptiness was simply overjoyed.

After setting up breakfast here, Zhu Gaoxian moved to the second hall, and there was a sound of chewing food outside, and after a while, the owner of the sound may feel that he was very abrupt, and the sound disappeared.

It's hard to imagine that there are a dozen or so people outside having breakfast.

After that, Zhu Gaoxian asked the dog to arrange the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to rest in this palace, and after the empty man came to ask for peace, Agarwood Bao came in.

"Please forgive your sins!" Agarwood Bao knelt on the ground, "The road is really not easy to walk, the small ones take a little longer, and it is not safe to walk the mountain road at night, so I rushed at night and in the early morning, and in the middle of the night, the small ones took a short rest on the road." ”

"Get up! Throne! Zhu Gaoxian put aside the book he was reading, "The body is the most important thing, and we will stay in Siam a little longer this time." The times in Siam are unstable, and if there is a war, it will disrupt our rhythm. ”

Daming doesn't want to use troops in the southeast for the time being, although Daming is not afraid of using troops, but Daming doesn't have so many people.

"In the next few nights, there will be a chamber of commerce on the Chao Phraya River, and the goods we bring will be used for trading, and the most important thing is the merchants who stay here, has anyone chosen one?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, there is a candidate!" Agarwood Baodao, "The leader is Hangzhou Zhang Cun." ”

Zhu Gaoxian let out an "oh", he looked at Agarwood Bao, "What about the Shen family?" There is no one in your Shen family? ”

Agarwood Bao didn't know what His Highness meant by asking this, he was extremely nervous, cold sweat broke out on his body, and he lowered his head and said, "My subordinates follow Your Highness, and my subordinates' elder brother also follows Your Highness, this is the greatest blessing." ”

As he spoke, he fell to his knees.

Since their father's death, the Shen family no longer aims to accumulate wealth, because they have realized that what can really keep a family is blessing, not wealth.

"If only you were aware of that!" Zhu Gaoxian said, "Money is enough, follow this king to do things with all your heart, and this king can naturally keep you safe!" ”

"My subordinates understand!"

"Then go back and rest first! In the morning, the king will go out for a walk, give Siam a little time, and then discuss the details with them in the afternoon. ”

"Yes!"

La Meixuan heard that Zhu Gaoxian was going out for a walk, so she hurriedly ran to serve, and personally accompanied Zhu Gaoxian out of the palace, La Meixuan arranged for someone to lead the elephant to come, Gu Yun was afraid that His Royal Highness would ride, once the elephant went crazy, with the elephant's huge size with thick skin and meat, Gu Yun didn't think they could subdue the elephant in an instant.

Gu Yun desperately glanced at the dog, and after the dog understood what he meant, he persuaded, "Your Highness, this elephant is like a dog raised by your own family, in the end, it is a beast, and Your Highness is not familiar with it, in case there is a conflict, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "Let people carry the sedan chair!" ”

After changing to a sedan chair, Gu Yun and the others were more relieved.

Ayutthaya City is not as good as the Heavenly Palace, everything is very planned, there are many Buddhist temples here, and the dwellings are scattered in them, which looks messy.

In the mountainous area outside Siam, the interior is humid, the land is barren, unsuitable for farming, and the climate is not right, cold or hot, so the people are not wealthy, and they look full of vegetables.

There are many monks and nuns in the country, and these people are all non-producers, but because of their beliefs, they have a high status, which increases the burden on society.

After the death of a person, if the family is rich, then the mercury will be poured into the belly and buried in the soil, if it is a poor person, the body will be carried to the suburbs and put on the beach, there are still big birds eating meat, called bird burial.

Today, because there are Ming people coming, the market is very lively, all kinds of spice sellers, there are yellow speed incense, Luo brown speed incense, descending true incense, agarwood, wood has pineapple wood; The medicinal materials include Dafengzi, white cardamom, sumac, etc., which are used to make some green hair for decoration.

There are as many sums of wood here as salary, and the quality is better than other places.

Sumu has the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and can be used for bruises, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain and other diseases.

Anyone who sees something good is easy to be aroused by the desire to buy, and Zhu Gaoxian is the same, he asked people to stop the sedan chair, and after getting down, he began to buy some items that he liked.

As a king, La Meixuan has never done such a thing, and while she is puzzled by the behavior of this Ming prince, she is also thinking, perhaps, this is the royal style of the Celestial Empire.

He bought a lot of medicinal herbs, bought green feathers, saw the Siamese cat in excellent condition, also bought two, and bought ivory and precious stones.

Seeing the nutmeg, Zhu Gaoxian bought a big bag and pointed it out to the dog, "This, I promised to buy it for the drink, you remember to tell the person who sent the things back, so that they don't make a mistake." ”

"Yes, slave and maid remember!"

Half a day passed in a hurry, and La Meixuan accompanied Zhu Gaoxian back to the palace.

Although he came and went in a sedan chair, when Zhu Gaoxian was shopping, it was impossible for La Meixuan to sit in the sedan chair, and he also walked a long way, which was really not easy for His Royal Highness the pampered King.

Queen Rama hurriedly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Mahali told me that last night, she was resting in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and she said that His Royal Highness the Prince had taken her virginity and was so daring to defile His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

La Meixuan was shocked and refreshed, and he asked puzzledly, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Prince afraid of bad luck?" ”

Rama said angrily, "It must have been Rama who seduced His Royal Highness, I think you should punish her harshly, because she is too unruly, and she will ruin our relationship with Daming." ”

Saying this, La Meixuan was very worried, he stood up and prepared to go to Zhu Gaoxian, but he didn't dare, walked around the room, and asked, "What should I do?" What to do? ”

"Your Majesty, I think she should be punished, at least to give Da Ming an explanation."

It is impossible for Mahali to hide in Zhu Gaoxian's yard all the time, especially after dawn, she has nowhere to hide. When she heard that Rama was going to do something to the maids who served her, she had no choice but to stand up and save the poor maids.

The person invited by Lamei Xuan to give her the wedding gift was the presiding officer of the Pamaha Tay Temple, an old man in his fifties, and she was so frightened that she had to babble nonsense, saying that she had slept with His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty yesterday.

If it is heard by Gou'er and Jingqing and others, they will inevitably be furious.

His Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Dynasty is actually such a person who is unscrupulous and does not pay attention to the rules?

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Prince has already made a marriage and has a fiancée, how can he have adulteration with others outside and do absurd and unruly things?

Zhu Gaoxian didn't know that he was actually given in a dream last night.

Na Kong Ying had the opportunity to kneel on the ground and tell Zhu Gaoxian about the history of Siam, and after Rama Tiebodhi I moved the capital to Ayutthaya, he broke away from the Sukhothai Kingdom, the suzerainty of the time, and officially opened the Ayutthaya Dynasty.

After that, the war with Sukhothai continued until the conquest of Sukhothai, and the border of Ayutthaya bordered Lanna, and the two countries continued to fight.

Lanna is the ancient country of northern Thailand, that is, Chiang Mai and other places in later generations, in the Yuan Dynasty was also called the country of eight hundred daughters-in-law, named after the rumor that "the minister has eight hundred wives, each leading a village", and the official records of the Ming Dynasty also called it "eight hundred Dadian".

Daming also set up two propaganda divisions in Lanna, which were only symbolic establishments, and for Daming, Lanna was a palm-sized place, poor and backward, and not the focus of their attention.

Zhu Gaoxian listened to the empty explanation, and watched the dog sort out the gifts he bought, because of La Meixuan following, Zhu Gaoxian still took advantage of it, and the goods he took were very good, and the price was also very reasonable.

"The nutmeg is wrapped separately, and the bag is used, it doesn't matter." Zhu Gaoxian said, "Spices and gems are divided into more, medium and less, the medicinal materials are packed separately, the medicinal materials and more spice jewelry are sent to the palace to the queen's mother, the medium part is sent to the Ming Imperial Academy to Miss Mu, and the less part is sent to the Yingjun palace to the princess of the county, which is a meaning." ”

"The other one with the most is for the emperor." Zhu Gaoxian reminded.

"Yes, the slaves and maids have written it down."

When Zhu Gaoxian spoke, Na Kongying listened to it on the side, and he was eager to try, "Your Highness, if you don't dislike it, the minister is willing to help His Highness send these gifts to Daming." ”

Zhu Gaoxian was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, then labor." ”

Na Kongying wanted to go to Daming to see, and he was also very happy to get this opportunity.

When La Meixuan came, he was very uncomfortable when he saw the emptiness, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said directly to Zhu Gaoxian, "Your Royal Highness, I really didn't expect you to be willing to personally help Mahali take Xihong, she can have such an honor, it is really our honor!" ”
