Lu Wang Zhu Chang and Gao Hongtu are old acquaintances. He has also seen Huang Zongxi behind Gao Hongtu several times. Seeing Gao Huang and the others kneeling down to salute, Zhu Chang hurriedly got up and left the seat to hold the two of them with his left and right hands, "Don't I beg you to be polite to me, so why don't I kill me?"

Gao Hongtu admired Lu Wang the most for being a humble and respectful person. He supported Lu Wang and was optimistic about Lu Wang's character. He hoped that he could shoulder the important task of reviving the Ming Dynasty. Among all the vassal kings, only Lu Wang was recognized by the Donglin Party members. "Thank you, the prince should rest well, and he should also go to see the prince."

Zhu Chang shook his hand and smiled, "Isn't it true that I'm not hiding this? I'm not hiding the story of the scholar. In addition to worshiping the late emperor's tomb, I'll discuss it with the scholar. I can guess it if I don't talk about the story of the scholar!"

Gao Hongtu didn't expect Zhu Chang to be straight to the point, which surprised him a little, "The prince is talking about the prince!" Since Zhu Chang said so, there is no need for him to cover up the matter.

"Sit down and talk." Zhu Chang asked Gao and Huang to sit down. "I have a brief knowledge of this matter. I hope to study the article to solve my doubts in detail."

Gao Hongtu told Zhu Chang in detail what happened recently. Both of them used each other's parts, so they got together after a while. Zhu Chang felt suspicious after hearing Gao Hongtu's words. He and Zhu Yousong escaped from Henan and met in Huai'an. Based on memory and intuition, he thought that Zhu Yousong was not fake, but he could not say these words. He wanted everyone to think that this emperor was fake. Zhu Chang and Gao Hongtu achieved unprecedented agreement on the attitude of the prince. They both believed that the prince's identity should be inherited by the prince's throne and replaced Zhu Yousong after being confirmed. All interests made Gao Hongtu and Zhu Chang more and more speculative the more they talked about, but no one knew the other's thoughts in their bones.

When Zhu Chang got up and said goodbye, Lu Daqi came in from outside with a bad expression. When he saw King Lu, he was stunned. He wanted to kneel down and was naturally stopped by Zhu Chang. After the greetings, Zhu Chang left Gao Mansion.

Gao Hongtu saw that Lu Daqi had a bad expression, "Why didn't you accompany Xianzhi? What about Xianzhi?"

"Don't mention it. After I met the prince with him, he talked to the prince for a few words and left. He didn't say what I asked him about. It's really anomaly that this person can hold a high position."

Gao Hongtu had a better understanding of Shi Kefa than Lu Daqi. "It is the best view that he had no opinion. Besides, no matter what his attitude, we must win him over. His status cannot be ignored. Taichong just brought a letter from Liu Liangzuo, let's see what he said...!"

The letter I opened was finally written. After lit the hot paint, I stretched my waist. The most important thing in the letter was to establish a port. I specially found a map some time ago. The places suitable for building a port include Guangdong, and then Quanzhou in Fujian, Ningbo in Zhejiang and Songjiang Prefecture in Nanjing. The place I finally decided on was Songjiang Prefecture. Because Songjiang Prefecture included later Shanghai and other places, Songjiang Prefecture was already very prosperous at this time, but it was not an external port. The reason why I chose Songjiang Prefecture was not only under the absolute control of my power, but also the industries around it also determined its status. Songjiang Prefecture's cotton textile industry is very developed, and the adjacent Suzhou and Hangzhou are rich in silk. Along the river is Jingdezhen, the capital of ceramics. The specialties in these places are the capital that I can use to carry out foreign trade now.

Rome was not built in one day. In addition to hardware facilities, the construction of a port is more important. It is necessary to form a trade distribution center, so that people can think of buying and selling first. This cannot be formed in people's minds without long-term accumulation. Some of my ideas can only be determined after communicating with those foreigners, because I am not clear about the trade rules of this era.

When night fell, I was basically there. Before that, I went to the imperial kitchen. The role of emotional investment is sometimes very important. I had eaten Western food several times before. I told the chefs of the imperial kitchen what I knew. As for whether the Western food would be made into a "sparse meal", I was very worried. But when I came to the banquet place to look at the dishes placed on the table, I couldn't help but admire the dietary level of the Chinese nation. The foreigners with bright eyes stared at the table at this time, proving that the chefs' skills are indeed extraordinary.

"The emperor is here!" Tian Rong's words stood up, and the foreigners bent down to pay homage to Shi Kefa and other ministers knelt down and kowtowed. This comparison made me feel a little unhappy, but I can't let the ministers change the habits that have been passed down for thousands of years.

"My dear friends, please come up." The ministers here are all confidants who are close to me. Shi Kefa, Song Yingxing is the first, Wang Duo, and then Liu Zongzhou, Yin Shixun, Hou Fangyu and others. The reason I brought them here is to let them contact the people who are transformed from the outside world in their minds. I want them to know that these so-called people who are transformed from the outside world have begun to leave the upper country behind. The wave of colonialism is coming, and the mentality of those who are in high positions is very important. The only way to adjust their mentality is to communicate with each other, so that these ministers know that there is a heaven outside the sky and understand the pattern of the world. If their horizons are broadened, their thoughts will naturally not be as rigid as they are now.

During the day, Wang Duo reminded me not to let others know about what he could speak the erotic language at this time. He did not express his doubts about me being a foreign language. This made me feel more and more that Wang Duo was well versed in being a minister, and made me feel that he felt relieved.

Bucked and Stuart have been told by me to serve as the translator for tonight's banquet, and do not reveal that I can speak foreign languages. Seeing the emperor in the banquet, Bucked cleared his throat and said something to the foreigners. A blond man in his forties walked up to the emperor and said something in foreign language.

I didn't understand a word that Bucked just said to this foreigner. It seems that English in this era is far from the level of the common language in the world in later generations. I looked at Bucked.

Bucked understood, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Uman. His ancestral home is London and later moved to the Netherlands. His father received the Knight Order awarded by King William I of the Netherlands. Mr. Uman just said: Dear Emperor of China, thank you very much for the dinner you provide. It made me eager to taste it. It has been ten years since I left my hometown. This is the first time I have seen such a lovely food. It is so beautiful and the taste must be very good!" Buckeder couldn't help but look at the table. Like Uman, he doesn't want to do anything else now and just wants to have a good meal.

"Mr. Wuman, thank you very much for your praise. So what are you waiting for? Let's start! My dear friends, even if you drink happily tonight, I should be drunk with you." I saw that the mood of the ministers was not as relaxed as that of outsiders. I hope my words can open their minds. At least at this time, don't think about whether your words and deeds will make the emperor feel inappropriate.

After listening to Bachde's translation, Uman and others were all happy. Wuman said thank you and retreated back into the table and started moving. I looked at the eating behaviors of these foreigners. From this, we could see that they came from different classes. Uman and another person ate very elegantly. You can tell at a glance that they had received good aristocratic education. On the other hand, when Bachde and Stuart and others, I could only feel that they had eaten, that is, the things on the table were not too difficult to swallow.
