My Daming New Empire

With a fleet of 10 people, the supply of food is not a problem, because one treasure ship can transport [-] tons of rice, and there are dozens of treasure ships, never worry about food issues.

Fresh water is an important material that really restricts routes at sea.

Daming's fleet needed to steam rice, soak bean sprouts, and use wooden troughs to grow vegetables at sea, all of which needed clean water.

And even if wooden barrels are used to hold the purified water, the shelf life of the purified water is generally about ten days. After half a month, the purified water will grow green moss and the water quality will be corrupted.

The East does not have the habit of using beer instead of clean water like the West, because the East has never had the habit of brewing beer.What's more, even beer has a shelf life of no more than one month.

Nowadays, the purchase of a large number of coconuts can greatly reduce the demand for clean water. It is not necessary to find clean water every time a port arrives.

Zhu Zhanji is now storing coconuts in preparation for exploring Australia.

When the fleet arrives at the Old Port, they will no longer have the convenience of the wind direction. The further south they go, they even have to sail against the wind.

Under such conditions, no one can determine the sailing period of the fleet, so whether it is clean water or coconuts, they must be fully prepared.

Two coppers and one coconut, the price can be said to be not high at all.But for these local natives, coconuts are everywhere, and there is no cost at all.

Pulling a boat with a small boat is thousands of pieces, which can be exchanged for a few pieces of cloth and a few pots. This is no business.

The small town of Luzon Province has become lively because of the arrival of the Ming Fleet. In addition to various trades, it has also driven the development of the local tertiary industry.

Today's Ming soldiers are of the same virtue as the American soldiers of later generations. Most of these soldiers are illiterate, because they have no food, or they are military households, and they are destined to be soldiers from birth.

They don't have too many pursuits in life. In the process of serving the country, they only pursue eating, drinking and having fun.

Except for Zhu Zhanji and a group of clans, no one on the fleet could bring their female relatives.Even a general like Xue Lu can only hold back during the voyage.

But generals like Xue Lu never have to worry about women, because wherever the Ming Fleet goes, there will be natives who donate women.

Today's Daming people are upper-class people, even if they take advantage of it and leave, leaving seeds for their women, they will carefully raise them.Because in their view, the seed left by the Ming people is nobler and smarter.

The generals don't worry about women, but these little soldiers can't satisfy their requirements. Everywhere they go, it is impossible to have tens of thousands of women for them to choose from.

But they don't have to worry, because during the previous voyages to the West, the Ming Fleet will drive the development of the local tertiary industry wherever it goes.

So when the Ming fleet arrived, not far from the pier, there were hundreds of simple shacks built with wooden boards, and there were all kinds of women inside, which could meet the needs of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

And this has also formed an industry. When encountering this situation, many Nanyang businessmen will use sea ships to carry these women to do business behind the Ming Fleet.

There are even fewer in Luzon. It is said that there are thousands of such women in the Old Port and Malaga.And not only Nanyang natives, but also Western women, Japanese women, and Indian women, no matter what they want, they can meet the requirements.

For this kind of thing, Zhu Zhanji is too lazy to take care of it. Everything has its rationality. Simple and rude opposition will only make the situation worse.

However, now the salaries of Ming soldiers are not directly paid, but directly sent to the account of the Development Bank, which leads to the fact that the soldiers have no money in their hands.

For this matter, Zhu Zhanji held a special meeting with a group of generals, and then sent an order back through the ship that transported gold and silver back to Daming, only half of the salary will be sent to the account, and the other half will be distributed to them. inside.

The fleet has no shortage of cash, and no matter where the trade is conducted, it will exchange for a large amount of gold and silver.What's more, even if there is not enough cash, those cloths, those sugars, and those tea leaves are all hard currency.

But even if the local natives were so enthusiastic about serving, something happened, and this time it was Zhu Guijuan again.

Different from the previous four voyages to the West, not only the number of people on this voyage was four times that of the previous ones, but there were also a few more children of the Zhu family's clan on board.

In order to keep them from making trouble on the way, Zhu Di also allowed them to bring a concubine and two maids with them.

But these people all grew up in rich clothes and fine food. When have they ever tasted such a life at sea, there are only a few cabins, like a confined life.

Although mahjong and poker attracted most of the clan, Zhu Zhanji seldom paid attention to them even though they gambled on the boat.

When we arrived in Luzon, the local native women were thin and dark, and most of the clans had no lust.For Zhu Guijuan, a sex monster with a certain level of color, he is not picky, and he is happy to enjoy the woman who is offered by the natives.

But this was far from satisfying him.

Years ago, because of the torture and murder of a woman, a lawsuit was triggered.The woman's husband's family was a professor in Yingtian Mansion, and she was not afraid of a powerless prince's son, and sued him in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di just confined him for a month and asked him to spend the New Year in a small courtyard.Not only did he have no regrets, but there was an evil fire in his heart that could not be vented.

When he thought about it, he was the descendant of the dragon, and the other party was just a commoner, yet he had to suffer for the other party for a month, which was really hateful.

But after this setback, Zhu Zhanji was lukewarm to him, and he was actually a little scared in his heart.

After coming to Luzon, there were not many local Chinese women, and he didn't dare to provoke them at will, because the Chinese women who could be brought out must be big families with some influence in the local area.

After the native women couldn't satisfy his animal desire, he was attracted by those foreign women in Jizhai.

Whether it is a blonde woman from the Western Regions or a plump Tianzhu woman, they are all plumper and more alluring than Ming women.

In the past few days, he has been infatuated with Jizhai, and when he sees a woman he likes, he jumps in and enjoys it.

The fee was pitifully low, and he didn't think about reneging on the bill. The servant who followed him would naturally pay for him.

Zhu Guijuan, as the son of King Liao, was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, so his health is naturally not good.

Don't say that compared with these strong soldiers, even ordinary people can't compare with him.

However, there is a woman from Persia in this chicken village, who was sold as a slave since she was a child. It can be said that she has gone through thousands of men and has already regarded this kind of life as enjoyment.

When Zhu Guijuan ended the whole process by hitting her body repeatedly, she couldn't help showing a hint of sneer.

The language barrier between the two parties, she didn't know that this was the prince's son of Daming, and she didn't know, because this sneer annoyed Zhu Guijuan who was already a little annoyed.

Zhu Guijuan got up and drew out his long sword. With just one stab, a life was ended.

When this incident got into trouble, the boss here knew that it was Prince Daming's son who was offended, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

But Sun Lin already knew that Zhu Zhanji was dissatisfied with Zhu Guijuan and wanted to find fault, so the news soon reached Zhu Zhanji.

"Come on, come with me to meet this Zhu Guijuan, I want to see how capable he is!"

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was quite excited. He originally wanted to trouble Zhu Guijuan, but now that the other party took the initiative to give him a handle, don't blame him for being cruel.

Although as a nephew, it is impossible for him to kill Zhu Guijuan, but Zhu Zhanji has a lot of ways to make a life worse than death.

Luzon Mansion is not big, Zhu Zhanji came to the pier by the river, and Zhu Guijuan and his party came across the river under the escort of a team of Habayashi guards, and they happened to meet at the pier.

That Zhu Guijuan's clothes were disheveled, but he still held his head high and proud. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he just bowed casually and said, "I never wanted to kill a concubine, but I also alarmed Zhanji."

Zhu Zhanji sighed softly: "She only has one life, but I don't know how many lives you have?" Before he could react, Zhu Zhanji said loudly again: "Take down the prince of Liao!"

With an order, Habayashi Wei who followed him to protect him directly tied his hands behind his back and brought him to Zhu Zhanji.

Liao Wang Changshi Yan Changmin panicked and knelt down in front of Zhu Zhanji. "Your Highness, the eldest son is your clan uncle, how can you hurt the feelings of uncle and nephew because of a lowly girl from a foreign country!"

Zhu Guijuan still wanted to resist, but facing the two strong Habayashi guards, he had no ability to resist. "Zhu Zhanji, what do you want to do! How can I be so rebellious as the son of King Liao?"

Zhu Zhanji sighed, stared into his eyes and asked, "Before departure, do you remember the vows everyone made in front of the ancestors in the Taimiao?"
