South Seas, Luzon.

The front of the two ships was crowded with merchants.

"Tsk, it's really fine silk."

"This porcelain, this painting is really exquisite, and it is really a good commodity in the mainland."

They looked at the goods that had been laid out, and from time to time they made a sound of admiration, and many people paid for it.

Several people dressed as masters were busy buying and selling, and a sturdy man in a strong suit stood behind with his arms crossed, looking at the scene in front of him with a smile.

I didn't expect the items I brought to be so popular in Nanyang, and it was only a little more than an hour before they began to be sold, and more than half of them were sold out, and the price was more than three times that of the mainland, which was a huge profit.

No wonder even if the imperial court has strictly banned smuggling, the major families are still secretly going to sea, so much silver, who is not confused when they see it.

When the heat was in full swing, suddenly there was a rush of chaos behind the crowd, and several strong men squeezed through the crowd and escorted a gorgeously dressed old man towards them.

The merchant was forcibly pushed aside, full of anger, and wanted to greet the man's ancestors cordially, but when he turned his head and saw the comer, he held back.

"It's Xu Chai."

"He's here, it seems that we can't get a penny of these two shipments."

All around, there were whispers.

Listening to the surrounding voices, countless memories flashed in the mind of the strong man, and he soon remembered the identity of this person.

Xu Chai Lao, the richest man in Luzon in the South Seas, on this huge island, one-third of his business belongs to him.

This is the person who was told by the housekeeper to pay attention to before coming.

He narrowed his eyes, and the old man arrived.

"Dare to ask your friend's name?" The old man was also polite, so he made a bow first.

"Under Chen Su." The sturdy man smiled slightly and arched his hand, he was serious after changing his name.

"Chen, Fujian?" The old man asked curiously.

Chen Su kept a smile and didn't mean to answer.

The old man didn't care, and continued: "Friends have a lot of good things here, but it's not too hard to buy and sell like this? ”

"All the things here, the old man will increase the price by one percent, and he will ask for them all!"

Chen Su was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and applauded:

"He is worthy of being the richest man in Nanyang, and he is really courageous."

"I will sell them all to Your Excellency, and I don't need to make a friend."

The old man smiled slightly, and without refusing, he ordered his subordinates to take the money and pick up the goods.

As the leader of Luzon, he is also accustomed to this kind of contact, the other party wants to make friends with himself, if he does not follow the way, the other party will not be happy.

And Chen Su, although he still has a lovely smile on the surface, he is 100% vigilant in his heart.

Xu Chai Lao.

The richest man in Luzon mentioned by the housekeeper earlier.

Attacking Luzon, the biggest obstacle.

He stared at the thin old man tightly, and countless thoughts crossed his heart.

——

"What does Yue Guogong think about the matter of repairing books."

In the luxurious carriage, two people sat opposite each other, one was wide and fat, it was Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was naturally Yan Ya, the prince of Yueguo.

The two had just come out of Zhu Di's palace.

Since he is not yet the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi's mansion is not in the East Palace, but in the city, so Zhu Gaochi invited Yan Ya to travel together.

"Your Majesty has the ambition to rival Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and it is also excellent." Yan Ya responded with a smile: "If you cultivate this book according to Your Majesty's wishes, the name of Yongle will be unforgettable." ”

Zhu Di had the idea of repairing books not long ago, and he wanted to revise a book that included all the ancient and modern classics.

Yongle is a very proud person, he thinks that his era will become a prosperous era, and the prosperous era must have enough merits for future generations to sing, just like Qin Shi Huang's book and the same track, like the heavenly khan of Tang Taizong.

Zhu Di chose to revise the book.

This is also his attraction to civil officials and doctors, the revision of books not only shows his attitude towards literature, but also the people who repair books will also go down in history, this is a kind of goodwill, Zhu Di is very clear, he can fight the world immediately, but he can't rule the world immediately, and in the end, he has to rely on that group of civil officials.

However, the canon also needs a person with sufficient prestige and erudition to be the editor-in-chief.

Originally, the most suitable person in Zhu Di's mind was Yao Guangxiao, but the black-clothed prime minister refused Zhu Di's invitation, so he once again looked at the characters in Beijing and chose Yan Ya, who also had a rich family education.

It is also as a consolation to the old nobles.

"Ugh." Zhu Gaochi sighed when he heard this:

"It's a good thing to repair the ceremony, but now is not the right time. The northern border is not peaceful, and the southeast is becoming more and more serious...... Isn't it, isn't it ......"

He didn't continue, but the next words were easy to guess.

Isn't it, the old thing of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Yan Ya's face was not shocked: "Your Majesty is only more than one emperor, and with the assistance of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, the Ming Dynasty is also prosperous, so His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, this is Che Yu's words, and the friendship between the two sides has obviously not reached the level where Yan Ya wants to get to the bottom of him.

Simply he also opened the topic and chatted about some homely things.

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a commotion in front of them.

Not long after, Zhu Gaochi's coachman gently knocked on the window of the carriage:

"Your Highness."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Gaochi's face was calm.

"There is a team back to the city in front of me that occupies the road, and I can't walk."

Yan Ya was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaochi with some puzzlement:

You are also the eldest son of Emperor Yongle, why are you so unsuccessful here?

Although Zhu Gaochi has a good temper, such bullying also makes him a little annoyed, especially when there are outsiders, he loses a little face, and can't help but ask with a little anger:

"Who is holding me back?"

"Yes, it's His Royal Highness the King of Gaoyang County, who has returned from hunting outside the city." There was a weak response from outside the car window.

Hearing this, there was silence in the carriage.

Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand and slowly lifted the curtain hanging from the car window.

He saw his good second brother, the king of Gaoyang County, Zhu Gaoxu.

At this time, a long line of cavalry was passing in front of the carriage, they were dressed in gorgeous costumes, well-equipped, carrying swords and bows, very powerful, this is Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers.

As the team continued to move forward, a tall figure riding a red tall horse with a tall posture appeared in the field of vision of the two.

The person who came was dressed in a brocade robe, with a strong figure, his hair neatly combed on the top of his head, and his beard flowing and handsome.

It was Zhu Gaoxu.

That chic appearance is in stark contrast to Zhu Gaochi, who is fat and disabled and can only sit in a carriage.

Zhu Gaochi's complexion did not change in the slightest, but his eyes were slightly gloomy, but he still shouted:

"Second brother!"

Zhu Gaoxu rode on the horse, glanced at him when he heard the sound, and then seemed to have just noticed the honor guard of the emperor's eldest son, arched his hand, with a perfunctory smile on his face, even if he had seen a courtesy.

This is naturally disrespectful, even if he is the same prince, but Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of the emperor after all, and he is the son of the world, even if the status is the prince, he has to salute when he sees it, not to mention the county king who is demoted to another level.

Zhu Gaoxu is offended like this.

Zhu Gaochi's face finally changed slightly, and he was dissatisfied.

And Yan Ya crossed Zhu Gaoxu and saw the figure behind him, which was seven or eight points similar to his face.

It's Yan Keng.

He is also dressed in military uniform, and it is obvious that Zhu Gaoxu also invited him when he went out hunting.

Seeing his eldest brother and the emperor's eldest son together, the smile on his face froze, and he seemed a little surprised. But he was not as proud as Zhu Gaochu, so he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and there was no lack of etiquette, so he met Zhu Gaochi first.

His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor barely smiled.

Then he turned around and called out, "Brother." ”

Yan Ya nodded, in response.

He stared at his younger brother, his eyes wandering between him and Zhu Gaoxu, not knowing what he was thinking.
