Chapter 210 Guangzhou is here
Seeing Zhao Hu kneeling in front of him, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Zhao Hu, what do you say?"
Zhao Hu blushed and said hesitantly: "Prince, the villain was with Zhu Luo when he was a child. He fought with her every day. When I was in Huguang, I was injured in fighting with the children in the neighboring village. Zhu Luo was taking care of him..."
Zhu Luo, who was standing next to him, saw Zhao Hu talking nonsense, kicked Zhao Hu again and cursed: "What are you talking about and what are you talking about? Tell me the key points!"
Zhao Hu agreed and continued, "Since then, I wanted to marry Luoer as my wife, so the villain asked the prince to agree to me."
Zhu Hongsan also smiled, and when he saw Zhao Hu like this, he couldn't help but think of himself. He turned around and said to Zhu Hongyi: "Brother, have you seen it? Our children have grown up. Can we not grow old?"
Zhu Hongyi bowed and said, "What the King of Chu said is."
Zhu Hongsan turned his head and looked at Zhao Hu who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Zhao Hu, you want to marry my daughter, but you are just a private now, with one tael of silver per month. How can you support my daughter?"
Zhao Hu scratched his head and said, "My father is rich." Zhu Luo kicked him again, and said, "Idiot, you can work hard to make contributions and become an official as soon as possible." Zhao Hu quickly said aside as Zhu Luo said.
Zhu Hongsan glared at Zhu Luo and said to Zhao Hu: "Zhao Hu, your father's money is your father's money. Will my daughter marry a rich second generation? But I will give you a chance. Now the Vietnamese garrison is fighting with local natives in Hongji. You go there and use your military merits to exchange for my daughter."
Zhao Hu originally thought that Zhu Hongsan would give him what task, but he didn't expect to go to the front-line battlefield and was overjoyed. If Zhu Luo hadn't allowed him, he would have wanted to go long ago. When he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he quickly said, "Don't worry, the villain must have made contributions and come back to marry Zhu Luo."
Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Get up, Zhu Luo is only waiting for you for three years. If you can't become the battalion commander in three years, then everything will be avoided."
When Zhu Luo heard that Zhu Hongsan wanted his lover to go to the front line to fight, he was about to act coquettishly, but Zhu Hongsan's face darkened and said, "Zhu Luo, don't talk." Zhu Luo knew Zhu Hongsan's temper and was so scared that he dared not speak.
Zhu Hongsan continued, "Zhao Hu, when you come back from Guangzhou this time, you can go to Vietnam. Remember, if you want real military achievements, you should let me know that you are cheating, don't blame me for being rude." After Zhu Hongsan said that, he waved his hand and asked Zhao Hu to continue on duty.
Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hongyi beside him: "Brother, you won't feel sorry for asking your son to go to the front line, right?"
Zhu Hongyi bowed and said, "Since he joined the army, he is a soldier, and his life and death are in peace." Zhu Hongyi was also very worried about his son. At that time, Zhao Hu wanted to go to the front line, but Ma Chunhua cried and made a fuss, forcing him to hire a relationship and then got it into the guard company. Unexpectedly, he had to go to the front line in the end.
Zhu Hongyi actually did not agree with this marriage. He used to be a gangster society in Huguang, and he had a lot of experience in society at a young age. Although Zhu Hongyi did not study, he had heard of Han Xin's "Birds and Bows" when listening to books. In addition, he had traveled with Zhu Hongsan in the past ten years and knew this lord's shameless and cruel personality very well.
Therefore, Zhu Hongyi didn't want his son to have any relationship with the King of Chu's family, but now that the King of Chu has settled the marriage, he has no choice.
As for what to say about going to the front line to make military achievements, it was a matter of cheating the children. Zhu Hongyi was also a veteran on the battlefield. He knew that the natives in Vietnam had no combat power at all. The King of Chu asked Zhao Hu to go to the front line just to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise it would be unfavorable for his daughter to marry a big-headed soldier.
Zhu Hongyi looked at his cheerful son and said in his heart: "Hu'er, you have chosen this path yourself and ask for more blessings."
Zhu Hongsan was also very happy to see that his daughter could marry the person he liked, and said to Ma Xiaofang: "Wife, are you satisfied with this?"
Now Ma Xiaofang is all about her son Zhu Hai. As long as her daughter can get married, she still cares about happiness or not. Ma Xiaofang said: "It depends on the prince."
At this time, Zhu Yu, who was watching the fun, said, "Dad, I also want to take my husband."
Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Yu's slutty words, and he was very happy, picked up Zhu Yu and asked, "Do you think about it too?"
Zhu Yu nodded and said, "I want to marry Brother Zhu Hai."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Why?"
"Brother Zhu Hai is kind to me, and my second brother always robs me of candy. Every time, Brother Zhu Hai robs me of it, so I will marry him in the future."
Zhu Hongsan laughed and said, "Silly girl, you are brothers and sisters, and you can't get married."
Zhu Yu is only three years old now, and with her intelligence, she can tell the difference. When Zhu Hongsan said that brothers and sisters cannot get married, Zhu Yu was very depressed and said, "Since I can't get married with Brother Zhu Hai, I have to take my husband myself."
When Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Yu's firmness, he kissed Zhu Yu's pink little face and said, "Okay, Dad promised you that you will let your husband take the lead in the future."
Zhu Yu was very happy and went crazy with Zhu Hai and the others.
Zhu Hongsan was also very happy to see the couple's kindness now, but he knew that this kind of brothers and sisters would not last for a few years. As the children grew up, their personal thoughts increased, and this kind of warm family gathering might not be available again.
Guangzhou Fucheng is less than fifty miles away from Dongguan waterway, and there are no major storms in the estuary of the Pearl River, so Zhu Hongsan and his party arrived in Guangzhou before noon.
Guangzhou started to set up Nanhai County in the Qin Dynasty and was the largest city in Lingnan. After more than two thousand years of development, it is even more densely populated. Now there are more than 500,000 permanent residents in the city. In addition, mobile merchants, nan households on the river, and laborers who come to Fucheng to do short-term work in the surrounding counties. The entire Guangzhou Fucheng has a population of nearly 800,000.
The main city of Guangzhou is now built in the Song Dynasty. After Jingkang moved south, a large number of people came to the north. Therefore, a new commercial area was formed along the Pearl River area during the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, the construction of the Nancheng, also known as Yanchi City, laid the foundation for the Guangzhou New City in the Ming Dynasty. Later generations, Gaodi Street, Zhuangyuan Street, and Maima Street generally belong to its scope.
By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the war spread to Lingnan, and the entire city of Guangzhou was destroyed by war. After Zhu Yuanzhang unified China, the Guangzhou governments of all dynasties expanded north and south based on the three cities of the Song Dynasty, reaching Yuexiu Mountain in the north, reaching the Pearl River in the south, reaching the present-day Dadongmen in the east, and reaching the west to Xihao.
In the Ming Dynasty, most of the streets of Guangzhou City were east-west, north-south, and T-shaped. The commercial districts were mainly in the new urban area along the river, and Haopan Street was the most engaged in overseas trade. Because the sandy land along the Pearl River was wider, Yicheng was built. Due to the prosperity of commercial commerce along the Pearl River and the population increased greatly, Yicheng was built on the east-west sides of the Ming Dynasty, just like Chicken Wings, also known as Chicken Wings, and the Qing Dynasty also continued the urban planning of the Ming Dynasty.
The Pearl River in the Ming Dynasty was much wider than that in later generations, and the two sides were ten miles apart. According to the Guangzhou Prefecture Chronicle, the Pearl River was five or six times wider than that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, so the Pearl River in front of people in Guangzhou was called "Sea" and crossing the river was called "Sea".
Zhu Hongsan stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the merchant ships passing by. After his own transformation, the number of merchant ships was ten times higher than before. However, compared with the Guangzhou Wharf, the number and scale of merchant ships were much worse.
Dongguan is now mainly exporting industrial products, while Guangzhou is mainly based on a large number of silk, porcelain, tea, local cloth, gold and silver utensils. The imported goods mainly include various treasures, spices, medicinal materials, wool fabrics, cotton fabrics, cotton and various groceries.
Zhu Hongsan has also visited several megacities when he came to this era. Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are all more populated than Guangzhou, but does Guangzhou have a taste of those big cities, that is, the taste of commercial ones.
It may be related to the geographical location of Guangdong. Guangdong people have always been good at doing business, and even in later generations, the merchants in this place were dressed in silk, sat in carriages, and talked loudly with others about business. You should know that this is simply impossible in Beijing. Hangzhou and Yangzhou in the south are better, but businessmen are not as high as Guangdong merchants.
