Chapter 195 Our Casino Needs Talents Like You

"What? Prince Zhujiang didn't touch you?"

"Why?! Prince Zhujiang looked at your underwear for a long time."

The King of Siam frowned and touched the beard on his chin. He couldn't figure out why even to death.

"Leave this beauty untouched and stare at a pair of underwear? Does Prince Zhujiang have any special hobbies? This is too special."

"Ayi, please prepare a few more pairs of underwear to give to His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County. You should wear them by the way."

Zhu Zhanzhen would never have thought that the King of Siam had such advanced two-dimensional Internet thinking.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanzhen took his team to see the fruit market that he cared about most. Fruits are everywhere in Siam. The climate here is very suitable for fruit growth, and the people here are also very good at eating fruits.

The luxury is to eat half and throw away half.

The merchants who came with me were heartbroken to see those fruits that must be expensive in China being thrown away, but they were relieved when they asked about the price. They felt so distressed at such a low price.

The main issue with fruits is not the yield, but the issue of preservation and transportation.

Zhu Zhanzhen called Guo Qinjian, the food license holder, to discuss: "Shopkeeper Guo, do you think how should these fruits be transported back to the country?"

Guo Qinjian had already seen a lot of money waving to him, and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, if ordinary merchant ships are almost rotten before they arrive at Guangzhou Port, but if you can rent His Highness's steam warship for transportation, it should be able to be greatly improved."

Shorten the voyage so that the people in Guangzhou can eat fruits."

"Not only Guangzhou Prefecture, but also Yingtian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture. These things can be sold at higher prices there. The weather in Guangzhou Prefecture is humid and hot, and there are a lot of fruits. If you go north, these fruits will be really big.

Some people have never seen it in their lives."

"What His Highness said is absolutely true."

"I can lease you two steam warships."

Guo Qinjian was not happy because he knew that Zhu Zhanzhen's words must have consequences.

But this time Zhu Zhanzhen didn't say but.

Guo Qinjian waited for a while before Zhu Zhanzhen spoke, so he asked himself: "What are the conditions for renting a warship to His Highness?"

"There are no conditions, just pay the money. And no matter which port you go to, be sure not to evade taxes. Fruits are produced in Nanyang. Since you have photographed the food warehouse, theoretically you can expand this unique business first. I also

I hope you can grow bigger. Shopkeeper Guo is a smart man. I just hope that you can use some of the money you make to build bridges, roads, and schools, which can be regarded as a good deed for the people."

Guo Qinjian immediately said: "The profoundness that your Highness has seen is far beyond our reach. The common people are deeply impressed and cast their heads in admiration."

Zhu Zhanzhen doesn't know how true or false this sentence is. We will know how many bridges, roads and schools you build in the future.

At this time, the King of Siam walked up to Zhu Zhanzhen with a smile and handed over a gift box.

"This is?"

"Your Highness, this is the gift I prepared for you."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanchen was about to open it and take a look, but was stopped by the King of Siam.

"Your Majesty the King of Siam, I will not accept expensive gifts."

"It's not something gold or silver, it's just something His Highness likes. Please open it after Your Highness goes back." The King of Siam said mysteriously.

Zhu Zhanzhen was confused, but he accepted the gift first and just opened it more carefully when he went back.

Zhu Zhanyi looked at Princess Ayi who was following the King of Siam. The women here were more open-minded and enthusiastic. This actually gave Zhu Zhanyi a good idea.

"Your Majesty the King of Siam, I see that these girls in Siam are very enthusiastic and good at singing and dancing. They are very different from those in our country."

"If Your Highness likes it, take a few back."

"It's like this. The port where our Guangzhou Prefecture opens a sea ban is Xiangjiang Port, and there is an Aomen next to it. It is a place for foreign businessmen and envoys to rest. I asked the magistrate of Xiangjiang to build an entertainment city there. If

If His Excellency the King of Siam is interested, you can go and have a look when the time comes. I hope to hire some Siamese girls to dance in the entertainment city every day."

The Aomen Casino did not sound good, so Zhu Zhanzhen changed it into an entertainment city, and the plan has been approved by Zhu Di, and it is now being developed in parallel with the development of Hong Kong Port.

However, Zhu Di also had an order that his countrymen were not allowed to gamble without permission. Zhu Zhanzhen decided to build a city based on the European gambling city of Monaco. Gambling was prohibited for his countrymen and it was exclusively for foreign businessmen and envoys.

Then we have to arrange various entertainment activities, among which dancing by these passionate Siamese girls is also very good.

The two parties soon reached an agreement. When the next merchant ship comes, some Siamese women can be allowed to work in the entertainment city. The entertainment city is a high-consumption place, and some of the money of these foreign businessmen must be kept.

The girls in Siam were very excited when they heard that they could go to Daming. In their eyes, Daming was a prosperous and powerful place.

Siam produces fruits, seafood, jade, spices, and needs silk, tea, ceramics and other items. There is huge room for cooperation between the two parties.

The happiest among them is of course Guo Qinjian, after all Zhu Zhanzhen agreed to lease two merchant ships to him.

With a long itinerary, Zhu Zhanchen did not plan to make any more stops. After another day of rest, he boarded the ship again and set off for their next stop, Temasek (Singapore).

The King of Siam saw him off in person, with great fanfare and unusual grandeur.

After boarding the ship, Zhu Zhanzhen remembered the gift from the King of Siam and asked Yang Song to take it out and put it on the deck.

Seagulls flew across the sky, and Zhu Zhanzhen looked at the box.

"There won't be any hidden weapons inside, and they won't want to assassinate me."

"That shouldn't be right. Could it be a head-lowering technique?"

This Southeast Asian evil magic has been seen by Zhu Zhanxiang in Hong Kong movies before, and it is very eerie and terrifying.

Yang Song lifted the box into the air with a spear and opened it. A dozen pairs of women's underwear of different colors fell down, turning into flying flowers.

Zhu Zhan was stunned on the spot, with a black line on Cao Xinyue's head.

Yang Song picked up a spear: "Your Highness, it was passed through."

"Why are you still researching this?"

"Throw it all away, throw it all away."

Zhu Zhanchen understood that it was Princess Ayi who went back and told the King of Siam about her research on underwear. The King of Siam thought he liked this thing.

I was so embarrassed that I threw my underwear into the sea.

At some point, Cao Xinyue had returned to her room. It was still a bit inappropriate for a girl to see this kind of thing.

Mu Bin came to Zhu Zhan's side: "Your Highness, this trip is going to Temasek and the King of Malacca has been notified."

At this time, Temasek was under the management of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca was named after the Kingdom of Malacca.

"What is the relationship between the Kingdom of Malacca and our country?"

"The relationship is very good, of course because Master Zheng He beat them severely when he first sailed to the West. Originally, they wanted to rob my imperial treasure ship, but now they pay tribute to us." Officials left behind by Zheng He

Explained once.

"Sir Zheng He and the others should have just left Temasek not long ago."

Zhu Zhanchen thought for a while: "If we pay tribute to us, then wouldn't it be a bit rude for me to directly bombard Temasek?"

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised and didn't know what Zhu Zhanzhen meant by this.

"Just kidding."

Although he said this, Zhu Zhanchen took out the maritime map and put it on the deck.

"Zheng He had to pass through Temasek every time he went to the Western Ocean. There is the Strait of Malacca here. If you want to go to the Western Ocean, you must pass through here. The merchant ship trade will be busy in the future. I don't feel at ease if these important key nodes are not in my hands."

"But His Highness, the Kingdom of Malacca, has a good relationship with our DPRK. To seize it by force would be inconsistent with the style of our DPRK."

You can't do anything to embarrass Zhu Di. Zhu Zhanzhen understands this red line, so he is worried now. This place must be captured. No matter how good the relationship is, this place occupies an excellent place just for ships to dock for rest and trade in the future.

The geographical advantage cannot be given to others.

Moreover, if someone with bad intentions wants to ambush a place like this, it will be difficult to prevent it.

"Your Highness, pirates are rampant in places such as Malacca and Java. Temasek and Palembang are both places where pirates often gather. You should be more careful when you arrive."

"Pirates!" Zhu Zhanchen thought for a moment and said, "His Majesty sent a gift box to some famous pirates before to warn them, are there any famous pirates here?"

The translator left behind by Zheng He nodded: "There are pirates Chen Zuli and Bo Fang. Among them, Chen Zuli is the youngest brother of Chen Zuyi, the great pirate at that time."

Zhu Zhanzhen naturally knows the name of Chen Zuyi. The great pirate that year was rampant in Malacca. The incompetent king of the Kingdom of Malacca could not do anything to him. Not only Malacca, but all the surrounding countries could not do anything to him. If it were not for Zheng He

He was defeated, captured, brought back to the Ming Dynasty and beheaded. Now he is still in charge of this sea area.

Chen Zuli is the younger brother of Chen Zuyi. Because Malacca has a strong pirate culture and a large number of pirate teams, small merchant ships cannot trade normally here. They have to pay protection fees or be robbed.

Another blogger was mainly based in Old Port and was once a subordinate of Chen Zuyi.

"What kind of person is this Chen Zuli?"

"Chen Zuli is a ruthless person, but not as ambitious as Chen Zuyi. He lives his life guarding the stall left by Chen Zuyi. His wife is the sister of the former king of Malacca and the aunt of the current king."

"Oh? How's the relationship?"

"This is not very clear, but the actual power of the Malacca royal family is relatively weak, and in recent years, Siam has even occupied many handover places."

Zhu Zhanchen came up with a plan.

The current sea in Southeast Asia is just like the Mediterranean Sea and the European coast in the past. It has many forces, is chaotic and complicated, there are many frictions between various forces, pirates are rampant, and there are many trade exchanges.

It's just that there is a huge Ming Dynasty next to them, and now the Ming Dynasty is coming to announce its existence.

"Do you have any way to contact Bo Fang and Chen Zuli?"

"Wei Chen knows where they are, but has never contacted them before. If His Highness needs it, I am willing to lead a warship to inform them for Your Highness."

"Okay, you can sail a ship and notify Bo Fang and Chen Zuli to come to Temasek to meet me. I will stay in Temasek for a while."
