.    Chapter 212 The wedding of the king

    Those regretful businessmen were jumping up and down looking for a way out, trying to figure out how long it would take for the ban on sailing to come down, and how long they would have to prepare.

    These businessmen are all very smart. Judging from Zhu Ming's previous actions, this king is a very contractual person and never goes back on his words.

    Now that you are developing Zhanzhou, as long as you can make it a fait accompli, even if he later issued a no-navigation order and designated Zhanzhou as his private garden, he will still guarantee you the benefits that you businessmen originally obtained.

    That's why these businessmen are keen to understand the specific information about the ban on navigation. It would be really exciting if a ban on navigation was issued before the iron smelting workshop was built in Nazhanzhou.  Crying without tears.

    But what is strange this time is that no matter how these businessmen inquired, they could not find out the news about the ban on navigation. Those officials who claimed to have some sources of information were all officials who were familiar with these officials and said, what is Zhanzhou like?  It¡¯s so vast, even if you take a small share of the pie, the king won¡¯t be angry at all, just gather people.

    So, on the route that originally had only the official merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty transporting Siamese slaves and supplies to Zhanzhou, dozens of ships of various colors suddenly appeared on the route. Powerful merchants naturally had no worries about sources of labor and supplies.

    Those big merchants who were ready to get everything done at once also had a wide range of sources of information. A steady stream of Siamese slaves had been shipped to Zhanzhou to develop. Now that Zhanzhou has discovered large-scale iron mines, everyone has immediately changed their attitude from their original hesitation.  , quickly gathered a bunch of mining equipment and labor, organized a capable fleet and transported it to Zhanzhou, preparing to start a new round of excavation frenzy.

    At this time, Zhao Xin was in Nazhanzhou. Since the large-scale iron mine was opened, the Siamese slaves who had been strengthening the camp and preparing to build the city stopped, and all the labor force was allocated to the southeast of the iron mine.

    It is too early to build an iron smelting plant. The first thing Zhao Xin wants to carry out is Zhu Ming's instruction: before doing anything, he must first build roads.

    Clay minerals and gravel, as long as they are useful resources for road construction, have been left. This road is not a simple road. It is probably the main road extending into the inland from the natural harbor in the northwest of Zhanzhou.

    The soil quality in Zhanzhou is not too bad. If you dig below three or four meters, you will see a filter layer mixed with sand and gravel. If you dig out all the clay and sand on the surface, you will find that if there is not enough, you will have to dig into the dense water network and rivers.  It is not difficult to dig out and build a road that can accommodate mules and horses.

    Everything was going smoothly under Zhao Xin's supervision. When there were dozens of merchant ships from various places among the slave ships that were constantly being transported to Zhanzhou, Zhao Xin understood that this must be the king of the country again.  He used magic to make the originally unenthusiastic businessmen begin to pay attention to this neglected land.

    Those merchants brought many slaves and equipment. Without waiting for Xin Zhao's call, they began to dispatch numerous exploration teams to explore for various minerals. At the same time, many slaves also joined Xin Zhao's road construction team.  .

    These businessmen are not fools. Zhanzhou does not have a perfect tax collection method, but it does not mean that they can be lazy. The sooner the road is repaired, the sooner they can make profits.

    The Blackwater Mingguo camp in Zhanzhou was expanding day by day, and Xin Zhao had to introduce a series of control measures. Not only that, but many industries associated with the settlement also prospered.

    The wine shop was the first to bear the brunt. When an indigenous businessman from Free City took the lead in this business opportunity, he brought more than a dozen indigenous people. After staying here for a long time, when he saw the sows, he also regarded them as Diao Chan's pioneering Siamese slaves.  The constant flow of visitors made the businessman a lot of money.

    The businessmen who followed quickly followed suit. It turned out that making money was not only about mining ore and directly generating benefits. Being able to do well in surrounding industries was also a way to make big money.

    This gathering place in Zhanzhou was called Xinlan, and it quickly developed into a small residential city integrating food, clothing, housing, transportation and fun.

    In this smoky city, there are no walls and you can come and go freely. It is full of temptation and depravity. Many slaves who feel there is no hope spend all their money just to get drunk, and many indigenous residents also approach with curiosity.  of this emerging city.

    There is no rejection. Anyone who comes from afar is a guest. As long as you bring hard currency or goods such as furs, Xinlan City welcomes them. This is a city without defense.

    The development of the New World is as Zhu Ming expected, and Siam is now under his control. Although there is no clear coronation ceremony, Zhu Ming's words are now really loud and clear in Siam, and he dare not say the same thing.

      So what Zhu Ming originally promised, although he only faced two people alone, was still accidentally leaked, and many people once again paid attention to Zhu Ming's personal problems.

    It is better to be sparse than to be blocked. Although Zhu Ming has no shortage of people around him, in any case, it is quite unseemly to have been in charge of state affairs for several years without an official spouse and heir to the royal family.

    So Zhu Ming quite consciously raised this point without the need for others to remind him.

    When Jin Feihong, who was in Ming Dynasty, hurried back to Liberty City, Zhu Ming had already announced the news of the wedding.

    But the news will never make Jin Feihong feel depressed. Jin Zhu got his wish and became the queen of the royal family, while Zelia became the most noble princess.

    Jin Feihong originally returned to the country with a huge psychological burden. If so, but the country's leader had no intention of making Jin Zhu his queen, wouldn't it be a forced marriage?  With Zhu Ming's strength, Jin Feihong could only imagine how embarrassing the two brothers and sisters would be in the Blackwater Ming Kingdom in the future.

    But at the same time, Zhu Ming is a very emotional person, so the choice he made did not surprise everyone.

    And when Jin Feihong brought the top-secret news from the Ming Dynasty, it was purely because he was bothering himself, but because he had a top-secret mission, he didn't feel so embarrassed and embarrassed.

    "Master, Zhu Di sent a mission." Jin Feihong reported.

    Zhu Ming seems to have seen through the thoughts of this future uncle. Daming will not care about it. He is thousands of miles away from the country. What can he do? But you, you don¡¯t have to go to Daming so hard in the future. Find in this country  I'll have a job with you, get a wife, have children, and settle down.  "

    Zhu Ming¡¯s words are cordial and unquestionable.

    Indeed, once Jin Feihong becomes the uncle of the state, the secret spy job will no longer be suitable for him. Being able to return to Liberty City and engage in a job that can see the light of day is the best choice, not to mention  Being able to marry and have children like ordinary people is really difficult to judge between the gains and losses.

    "Zhu Ming's marriage to Jin Zhu was officially accepted by everyone, and even the natives of Heishui Ming Kingdom did not raise much objection.

    Jin Zhu has always been low-key, but it is this low-key that has fulfilled his reputation. The local Nanyang natives have no ill feelings towards him.

    Although Zelia has a remarkable reputation, her name as White Rakshasa has allowed her to accumulate a great reputation among her clansmen. However, except for the Han people who have an absolute advantage, all other clans in Nanyang are similar.  Therefore, the bad reputation of this White Rakshasa spread all over the world, making people both love and hate him.

    On December 12, the sixth year of Zehan, when Zhu Ming got married, everyone in Liberty City was alarmed.

    Although Zhu Ming¡¯s banquet was only limited to the top leaders of the Blackwater Ming Kingdom and a small number of high-status people, the same was true for the concubine ceremony that followed.

    But this cannot stop the people's enthusiasm at all. If Jinzhu and Zelia are equal in status to Zhu Ming, then whoever gives birth to a dragon son in the future may become the leader of the Blackwater Ming Kingdom.  Queen Mother.

    This is a more useful expression than any declaration of racial equality, so no natives are dissatisfied with it. Instead, they are looking forward to the wedding of the king.

    Not to mention the Han people. Look, the final first choice of the king is still the Han people, which shows the importance of the Han people in the Blackwater Ming Kingdom.

    No matter what speculations the public held, December 12th came as scheduled.

    The king¡¯s wedding naturally does not involve marriage to ordinary people, but in order to enjoy the happiness of the people, Zhu Ming still adopted customs similar to folk marriages.

    Since the eldest brother is his father, Jin Feihong¡¯s mansion in Liberty City has become his natal family. Jin Zhu dressed up early and waited quietly in Jin Feihong¡¯s mansion.

    As the head of a country, Zhu Ming personally came to greet the bride amidst the loud sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers. This became the most unique point in this wedding.

    If ordinary people get married, it is absolutely necessary to come to the door to welcome the bride. But who is Zhu Ming? He is the leader of this Southeast Asian country, a first-class figure. Anyone who marries his daughter to him can only smile secretly. This  They also came to the house to welcome the bride. When this decision was made, everyone was shocked.

    At that time, the ministers led by Wang Tong just suggested that Zhu Ming lead the queen to worship the ancestors and worship the Yanhuang tablets in the Liberty City. After the ceremony, the two newlyweds had a banquet for the guests, and everyone could liven it up for a while.  That¡¯s it.

    ??But Zhu Ming still had to find a matchmaker, because it was festive enough, and only in this way could the real common people in the market feel the fun brought by the wedding of the king.

    This is indeed not the case. If it is done behind closed doors, only a few people will do it.?Everyone is busy, but the excitement inside the wall and the excitement outside the wall are completely different things.

    But doing it like this is completely different. When Zhu Ming appeared on the street riding a tall horse covered in red and colorful colors like ordinary people, the people of Liberty City who had been waiting for a long time were excited, and everyone screamed and wanted to see it.  The style of the king.

    This also made the personal guards and city guards very distressed. Today was definitely a hell in their memories. There were so many chaotic people, and the identities of the people they wanted to protect were so special that they did not dare to relax for a moment.  Throughout the whole day, none of them took a bite, and their minds never relaxed for a moment.

    But everyone was willing to do so. The atmosphere in the Free City was originally free and positive, but this time Zhu Ming's wedding, and the song of the king personally paraded through the streets to welcome the bride, made the people excited, and the accumulated emotions reached the extreme.

    So Zhu Ming welcomed Jin Zhu out of Jin Feihong's mansion, and after getting on the sedan chair, people's hearts boiled at this moment. Everyone, whether they were Han Chinese or indigenous people, shouted slogans of long live long live, and many people looked at him.  Still full of tears, the leader of the country is getting married, there is a successor to the Blackwater Ming Kingdom, and everyone has a longer life to look forward to, and it cannot be shortened.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Under the auspices of the old man of Funancun Port, the two newlyweds, who have neither father nor mother, could complete the process of becoming husband and wife.

    Then Jinzhu was introduced into the harem, and Zhu Ming began to eat at the court banquet set up in the front yard.

    There are not as many rules in Nanyang as there are in the Central Plains. Normally, Zhu Mingliu and his ministers can be full after eating. Needless to say, today is the wedding of the king. It is good to serve meat. Everyone is polite, although it is still hindered by  Because of his status, Zhu Ming did not dare to toast too much, but after going back and forth, Zhu Ming still drank a lot.

    When he was sent back to the harem by his maid after having had enough wine and food, Zhu Ming was already dizzy from drinking and had double vision.

    After the maid sent Zhu Ming into the bedroom, she closed the door with a creak, leaving only Zhu Ming in the room.

    Nine big red candles with dragons and phoenixes had already been lit in the room. Jin Zhu was still wearing a hijab and sitting quietly in front of the red bed.

    Zhu Ming stepped forward, and Jin Zhu seemed to sense it. His body trembled slightly. Zhu Ming also felt that his lips and throat were a little dry, and he felt a little embarrassed.

    We are indeed familiar with this Jinzhu, but there is no skin-to-skin contact. This is truly the wedding day, but after all, this man still has to take the initiative.

    Zhu Ming stepped forward and gently uncovered Jin Zhu's head. Jin Zhu's face was already red at this moment, and even the pink neck showed a trace of blush.

    At this moment, Jin Zhu said in an inaudible voice that I would go and pour some tea for my husband to sober up.  "

    After saying that, he went to the table. It was hot in Nanyang, so although everyone was wrapped tightly according to Chinese customs during the wedding, when they arrived in the palace, Jinzhu had nothing but the hijab on her head.  I have long since changed into refreshing gauze clothes.

    At this moment, Jin Zhu went to pour tea, and the empty gauze dress showed a beautiful figure under the candlelight.

    Zhu Ming suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry. He had been with Jin Zhu for a long time, but he didn't have a secret feeling. The ambiguous scene at this moment had long made Zhu Ming unbearable, so he hugged Jin Zhu from behind.  , start with a soft piece.

    Jinzhu made a thin squeaking sound and then fell softly into Zhu Ming's arms.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    "It's just a pain for you." Although this was not the right time to say this, Zhu Ming still couldn't help but apologize to Jin Zhu. After all, he was going to marry another woman in two days. Any other woman would be afraid of this.  I feel bad in my heart.

    Jin Zhu was still as gentle as ever, without words, but responded to Zhu Ming's apology with actions. Suddenly the bed curtain started to tremble again.

    Although the battle to marry Zelia two days later was not as big as when Jinzhu was married, it was not easy at all. Under the voice of the local people, Zhu Ming, the leader of the country, had to go to Sumatra to marry Zelia in person.  It won't work even if it's placed in a free city.

    This made things even more troublesome. A sea shark boat was specially allocated as the groom's car, covered in red and colorful decorations. Although Zhu Ming and Zelia were no longer the first brother and the first sister, the effort in this regard must be  Doing enough also shows Zhu Ming's respect for his virtuous wife.

    On the day when Zhu Ming went to sea to welcome his bride, behind the wedding boat was a huge crowd of ships from the Blackwater Ming Dynasty and merchant ships from various countries who were joining in the fun.

    ????????????????????????????????Naturally, the warships of the Black Water Ming Kingdom are closely followed by the wedding ship. The twelve warships are arranged in two rows.?They are lined up in a row, and anyone looking for something unpleasant must carefully weigh the weight.

    Then came the official merchant ships of the Free Trade Association, which were loaded with gifts shipped to Sumatra, as well as benefits distributed to the local people, such as sweet potato candies and rice crackers. These snacks that have usually entered people's homes were on this ship this time.  The team has shipped two ships, and the children in Sumatra will be happy by then.

    The orphan king of Sumatra, Hass, was waiting at the port with a radiant face at the moment. His health was already in extremely bad condition, but the fact that his daughter was getting married to Zhu Ming, the king of Heishui Ming Kingdom, completely cheered him up. Could it be that Chang  It is said that it brings happiness and happiness, but this is the effect.

    Thinking that although the orphan's ancestral throne was lost, his only daughter married Zhu Ming. If a son and a half daughter were born in the future, Zelia's status would not be significantly higher than that of the golden pearl.  Yes, their children and ministers have already acquiesced that they all have corresponding inheritance rights.

    ¡°So if I lost a throne back then, my grandson might inherit a land that is a hundred times wider in the future, which would not make this half-century-old man happy.

    Of course, these are all selfish. After Zhu Ming came to Sumatra, Zhu Ming, who had not been here in person for a long time, naturally aroused some heated discussions.

    This makes Zhu Ming¡¯s wedding second to none. Touring Sumatra and looking at the recent changes in Sumatra has become Zhu Ming¡¯s main occupation.

    Zelia was not annoyed and simply rode on a war horse to accompany Zhu Ming on a parade around the island.

    "When we see that Sumatra's agricultural production is becoming more and more developed with the continuous input of foreign labor, those laborers are also staying here to develop. The land is still vast and suitable for planting, and the people live very comfortably.

    Three days were spent on such a patrol. Zelia's status was greatly strengthened after such a patrol. This was better than shutting the door and letting Zhu Ming take advantage of the wedding to spend three days at home.  The effect is too great.

    This also made all the ministers in the DPRK realize that from now on, neither of the two mothers of the country will be a fuel-efficient lamp.
