There were not many people in the harem and it seemed very deserted.
Today's Ming Dynasty is a new Ming Dynasty. Recruiting a large number of palace maids is obviously not in line with Zhu Zaiming's preferences. He just wants to live in harmony with his family.
If you recruit too many maids, you will have the illusion that your privacy is being observed by others.
Therefore, in the entire harem, there are only the two sisters Lin Zhiwei and the concubine Anna, and there are at most 6 maids who do daily cleaning.
In Zhu Zaiming's view, the Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for etiquette when going out, and there are hands and feet in the harem. If you can do it yourself, you can do it yourself.
Not long after the Great Purge, Zhu Zaiming was also afraid of recruiting a large number of palace maids and someone getting in.
In the early morning, Zhu Zaiming got dressed and played with the three little ones lying in the crib. He watched the children with their eyes closed unconsciously grabbing his fingers and stuffing them into their mouths, with a smile on his face.
Lin Zhirao gave birth to a princess, Zhu Junwang, and Anna also gave birth to a princess, Zhu Junshu.
Lin Zhiwei on the side helped him set breakfast, brushed a strand of hair from his ear with her right hand, and said with a smile: "Mr., it's time to eat."
"Okay, here we go."
Zhu Zaiming struggled to pull his fingers out of the prince's mouth, carefully covered the child with a quilt, and came to the table to make some millet porridge.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Zaiming arrived at his loyal Jinshen Hall.
He hung his coat on the rack and saw Shen Lian squatting in front of the fireplace to add firewood.
Zhu Zaiming asked curiously: "Old Shen, you came very early today?"
In fact, Shen Lian had known that Zhu Zaiming had come in. He turned around and grinned, saying: "Your Majesty, you have some free time~ The concubine De's fief has been staffed. There is a North Cape Castle in northern Norway, and there are hunting grounds 7 kilometers around. …”
Northern Norway is close to the Arctic Circle, and there are three months of darkness every year starting in November.
The climate there is harsh, so there is no need to think about growing crops. It is generally used as a hunting ground for European nobles.
Of course, many nobles would risk their lives in the dark night and heavy snow.
In short, there is no difference between whether there is a fiefdom there or not. As a land development, it is a loss-making business economically.
However, as the fiefdom of Concubine De, Ming Dynasty will not give up. No matter how bad it is, it is Ming Dynasty's inherent territory.
This Ming Dynasty enclave will be developed into a camping sanctuary in the future and can also be used as one of the training venues for snow troops.
"In Europe, apart from the concession areas established in various countries, we only have the enclave of North Cape Island. As the northernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty in Europe, we must send troops to guard it!"
Zhu Zaiming looked at the map, his eyes gleaming.
The Ming Dynasty had the ability to modify an icebreaker to transport soldiers and large amounts of supplies to North Point Fort.
But European countries cannot, or even if they can send a large number of soldiers there, the cost is not as high as usual.
This provides protection for North Point Island.
In the future, when Ming Dynasty's ocean-going submarines are launched, North Point Island will become the most important military base in Europe, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the submarines deployed here are highly offensive.
During the three months of darkness each year, these submarines can move out quietly, leaving the fleets of European countries no time to react.
After arranging the candidates for North Point Island, Shen Lian reported on the situation of "volunteers" in various places.
"You're saying that there are a lot of high-spirited people from the Ming Dynasty who smuggled themselves over and were tricked by their labor dispatch companies and sent to volunteer camps?"
Zhu Zaiming's eyes widened, what these white people did was really amazing.
These white labor dispatch companies deceived white people from Europe and North America with the lure of high wages, then plundered their belongings on the ship, and then sold them to the Nanyang Manpower Company of the Ming Dynasty.
These spiritual people of the Ming Dynasty cherished the beautiful yearning for the Ming Dynasty, but they were kicked into hell by their own people.
Shen Lian was a little melancholy and said, "Will this have an impact on the image of Ming Dynasty? Once these spiritual Ming Dynasty people spread it everywhere, it will be a blow to the image of Ming Dynasty!"
In fact, the Nanyang natives also hated the Ming Dynasty very much, but they had no channel to vent their anger.
There are many reasons for this. For example, their skin color is too conspicuous. No matter where they escape, they will be caught and sent back by the Ming people.
The most important thing is that no matter in the East or the West, these black farm tools do not regard them as human beings.
In the eyes of Eastern and Western civilizations, a world without Nico is a civilized world.
In the eyes of people around the world, the more the Ming Dynasty exploited the indigenous people, the more it represented civilization. This is what everyone did.
But white people are different. After all, the golden people are ranked first, and the white people are tied for first. Although I always feel that something is wrong, they are still first.
How can white people be sent to volunteer camps?
Zhu Zaiming sat on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table regularly, and then he smiled.
Zhu Zaiming said to Shen Lian: "Issuing an announcement to severely condemn certain foreign labor dispatch companies and accuse them of bloody human trade.
At the same time, rescue all the white people in the volunteer camps, give them food, and let them participate in public opinion activities. The parade is a good civilization..."
As Shen Lian listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
…
Jinling Nestlé construction site.
Early in the morning, Jack Wang got up at the urging of his supervisor.
He rubbed the thick dark circles under his eyes, then rubbed the burning crack of his butt, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Two months ago, he boarded the black ship of the labor dispatch company with his longing for the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the ship reached the sea, all his life savings were robbed, and he survived the oceans with severe beatings from the crew.
But he can endure it. As long as he reaches Ming Dynasty, he can start over!
Living in a free room allocated by the imperial court, eating chicken worth more than ten yuan, earning a salary of one silver coin a month, working from nine to six... everything is so wonderful.
But after getting off the ship, he was sent to a volunteer camp.
Wang Jack was stunned, wasn't he going to the steam engine assembly factory? Why did you get to the construction site?
That night, he was filled with puffs by Nico.
In the past two weeks, he worked hard to stir the cement every day during the day, and Nico worked hard to stir the cement every night.
He was numb.
When Wang Jack came outside the tent, he saw countless Nicos carrying various tools into the construction site.
There were many white people limping around, dragging shovels and touching their butt cracks from time to time.
Wang Jack regretted coming to Ming Dynasty. These days he might as well be scalping Indians in North America.
Several Nicos walked past him and bumped into him intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Jack was about to curse a few words when he saw several niggas showing their yellow teeth to him. He trembled and felt the pain in his buttocks cracking even more.
"When will this day end..."
Wang Jack stirred the cement vigorously, and after the cement spots splashed on his hands dried, his skin burned.
While he was working hard, a group of Ming officials entered the construction site.
Wang Jack didn't even raise his head, thinking that he was here to check the progress again.
He just worked hard, hoping to reach the production target and eat more white rice.
Not long after, he felt someone knocking on him.
"Hey, hey, let's stop working now. Let me ask you something."
Several officials came to Wang Jack, found a small wooden stick and hit him twice on the head.
Wang Jack turned his head in confusion and saw several Ming officials standing nearby. He was about to kneel down on the spot.
An official quickly stopped him and asked with a smile: "Which labor dispatch company did you send you to?"
The official was very kind, and Wang Jack felt like a spring breeze. He thought carefully about the white man holding the sign recruiting workers, and it took him a while to remember.
"Sir, it's a company called LinkedIn. They said it was a job at a steam engine assembly factory. Who knew it was sent here?
Mr. Qingtian, I was deceived, you can help me make the decision~"
Wang Jack spoke with tears and runny nose.
Half an hour later.
Wang Jack was sitting in a large and spacious tent, surrounded by white people who had been deceived. The tent was clean, but everyone was dirty.
At this time, several people from Ming Dynasty brought boxes of donuts, which were the new chicken products.
"Eat, the court has learned that some labor dispatch companies have done these bad things, and is helping you seek justice.
You should eat well first, take a good bath later, and a specialized doctor will check your body.
Then, if you cooperate with the imperial court, the imperial court will help you seek compensation! "
After the Ming Dynasty finished speaking, he left.
A group of white people looked at each other and finally couldn't stand it any longer.
Wang Jack grabbed a donut and stuffed it into his mouth, and two more tears fell down his face.
He said vaguely while eating haese.
“The donuts are delicious!”
