The development of things will indeed come to this point.
Zhu Xuan was not surprised by the behavior of those businessmen and said: "Please, Mr. Hua, continue to investigate smuggling, but the intensity can be appropriately weakened."
Hua Ying nodded in agreement, and then said: "As for those businessmen, they are all trading outside, so what?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Don't worry about them, I have other arrangements. I will leave this matter to you."
Hua Ying smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are so polite. It's not hard at all!"
After bidding farewell to Huaying, Zhu Xuan went back to write a letter and sent it to Yue Changxing to start adjusting the tax rate.
As long as those businessmen still go to Malacca, they can still be at Zhu Xuan's discretion, as long as the taxes collected are controlled below the cost of detouring.
Unless they are willing to bear the cost of detours and are not afraid of the risks of detours.
After doing this, Zhu Xuan waited quietly for the development of things. He also paid attention to the progress of agriculture and water conservancy. Then he considered the affairs of Indochina and implemented the plan.
A few more days passed.
The second ocean voyage to the West is also about to begin.
Zheng He took enough goods with him on the Yingtian ship, and Adelaide and the three of them went to sea to leave together. In order to show his sincerity, Zhu Xuan came to the port to see him off.
Keep watching the Yingtian ship go away.
"Next, I'm going to go to Annan."
Zhu Xuan found Cen Jing. As for Wu Yongfeng, he was still contacting foreign businessmen outside and would not come back soon. He added: "I will come back to deal with the businessmen's affairs after a while. You will manage the trade port well. If anyone is willing to join the association, You entertain first, and then collect the membership fees when I come back. Foreign businessmen are coming to settle in, so give them some discounts first..."
Before leaving, he told many things.
Cen Jing is now Zhu Xuan's representative in the trading port, and his status has risen directly, replacing Wu Yongfeng's position.
However, he has a very upright attitude, is practical and sincere in his work, and has not had any other problems so far. Zhu Xuan can be trusted and considered to be a person who is willing to do practical things.
Cen's toast seems to be a pretty good person.
In the future, I can turn them into my own team. If I am lucky enough to become the emperor, I can use them to stabilize the south. After all, in the remote areas of the south, especially the border, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, anything can happen.
"OK!"
Hearing Zhu Xuan finish what he said, Cen Jing nodded first, and then asked: "When is Your Highness going to leave?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Tomorrow, as for when I will come back, it depends on when I finish the things there. If there are things that cannot be handled, you arrange for someone to go to Annan to notify me."
"good!"
Cen Jing nodded in response.
It was an honor for him to be appreciated and given the opportunity to manage the trading port.
In the future, His Royal Highness the Little Emperor Sun will be the emperor, and the Cen family will be regarded as heroes, and I feel excited just thinking about it.
Zhu Xuan patted him on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and went home.
the next morning.
After they had prepared everything, they took the Panyu ship, took Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun with them, and sailed to Annan together.
After sailing on the sea for a while, they arrived outside the port of Annan Factory.
I saw three more warships under construction docked here, one of which was almost completed.
"Brother, there are three more big ships!"
Mu Yuanjun said excitedly.
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "In the future, we will have more and more ships, so it will be convenient to go wherever we want."
The technology of the boats being manufactured today will be more or less improved, making them more convenient and faster to use.
Xu Miaojin nodded and said, "My brother is so awesome!"
Their big ship quickly docked.
Guo Ze went down first and took security measures before Zhu Xuan got off the boat and walked into the factory together.
Zhu Xuan briefly asked about the situation in the factory and made sure there were no other questions. He went directly back to the mansion to rest, and at the same time asked someone to notify Mei Yin that he was here again.
Two days passed.
Mei Yin came near the factory and met Zhu Xuan at the mansion. She smiled and said, "Little Yunxuan is finally back. How does it feel to go to sea?"
Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay. My uncle didn't tell Grandpa Huang, right?"
Mei Yin said: "If I write a memorial and tell His Majesty, he will definitely come to Guangzhou in person and take you back."
According to Grandpa Huang's character, as well as his concern and attention to himself, Zhu Xuan knew that Grandpa Huang would definitely do this, and said with relief: "Fortunately, my uncle didn't tell Grandpa Huang. By the way, my aunt is still in Annan, right?"
Mei Yin nodded and said, "Everyone is here, what's wrong?"
"This time I came to Annan, ready to find a way to recover all the small countries near Annan."
Zhu Xuan expressed his thoughts and added: "But it's not convenient for me. I am carrying Sister Miaojin and the others everywhere, so I just want my aunt to help take care of it."
Mei Yin said: "This matter is no problem. Do you want me to accompany you on this trip?"
He did not doubt Zhu Xuan's ability. He wanted to regain the small country near Annan, so he shouldn't be bragging.
Zhu Xuan has built such a large factory and can also sail to the sea as far as the west.
Taking over those small countries is not a problem.
"Okay! With uncle's help, we can do more things."
Zhu Xuan agreed directly and said: "With so many people in Annan invested in the production of our factory, is there enough food?"
Mei Yin said: "It's okay so far, but in the past two months, I bought a batch of grain from Guangdong and Guangxi."
Zhu Xuan said: "From now on, all the food in Annan will be bought in our Ming Dynasty. Starting from this year, our Ming Dynasty will no longer be short of food. I want the money given out as wages to be paid will eventually flow into our Ming Dynasty."
Food has always been the focus of people's livelihood.
The workers in Annan no longer farm. In the future, they will need a lot of land and buy grain from Daming.
As their numbers increase, their wages will return to the Ming Dynasty before they know it.
Mei Yin smiled and said: "Little Yunxuan has so many bad ideas, but our Ming Dynasty is really not short of food?"
Zhu Xuan affirmed: "I was overseas and brought back some high-yielding grains. How is the effect? The results will be available soon."
"Then I'm looking forward to it!"
Mei Yin asked: "When is Xiao Yunxuan going to leave?"
Zhu Xuan said: "We will go to Qinghua tomorrow and ask my aunt to take care of Sister Miaojin and Sister Yuanjun. We will go to Champa first. Has my uncle ever contacted Champa?"
Mei Yin said: "The people who occupied the city have already taken the initiative to contact me and had exchanges with me. As envoys of the Ming Dynasty, if we go to occupy the city, the king of the occupied city can go out ten miles from the city to meet us."
Annan was captured by the Ming Dynasty.
It would be easy for a small person to occupy a city, but it would be easy for the Ming Dynasty to take action.
The people in Champa were also afraid of the Ming Dynasty, so they were respectful.
"Our Ming Dynasty is too powerful!"
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "I will also help Grandpa Huang to make the Ming Dynasty stronger and change everything!"
Mei Yin laughed: "Young Yunxuan can definitely do it, and my uncle will also help you to become the emperor's grandson as much as possible. Your two brothers are no match for you."
Zhu Xuan did not respond to this sentence.
It is not convenient to continue these topics related to the heir.
He changed the topic and talked about his plan to recover the Indochina Peninsula.
He told Mei Yin exactly what he was thinking.
