[comprehensive] mother instrument world

After having a formal establishment, Zhu Xi focused on making some achievements, not only to show her parents and elder brother, but also to set an example for her younger sister.That's right, Shu Yun gave birth to a daughter two years ago, and she also followed Zhu Biao's rank. The name is Zhu Wu.

Compared with Zhu Xi, Zhu Wu's temperament is much softer, this is his nature, unlike Zhu Xi, who was very domineering when he was very young.Zhu Xi always felt that this younger sister was too good-natured, and always felt that she would be bullied, so she decided to set an example for her younger sister.

With such a sense of mission in his heart, Zhu Xi's behavior style can be imagined, and most of the time it seems relatively simple and rude.It's not that she hasn't heard criticism, but Zhu Xi's logic is also very simple. People who are stronger than me don't talk about it. What kind of onion are you, dare to point fingers at me.

Therefore, after the manpower was full, Zhu Xi began to think about doing a big thing, and let everyone see their abilities!

Originally, Zhu Xi trained her subordinates mainly at Jingshan, where there was also a Huangzhuang. Shu Yun gave the Huangzhuang to Zhu Xi, and many of Zhu Xi's female soldiers came from that Huangzhuang. In addition, the money and food she spent training these female soldiers all came from this Huangzhuang.

It costs a lot of money to train an army. Ordinary people will consume a lot of calories even if they lie still all day long. As for Zhu Xi, she heard a lot about special forces training from Shu Yun. After learning some tricks of training soldiers from Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and the younger Lan Yu, they started to toss about.

If it were people like Xu Da and the others, even if it was training soldiers, there would be a lot of things to consider. After all, they usually command tens of thousands or even more soldiers and horses, and I don’t know how much they use every day. , Therefore, even if there is training, it is impossible to have too much intensity, because the consumption needs to be considered.

The reason why it is difficult to have full-time professional arms in this era is because the consumption is too high and the finances are difficult to support.That is to say, Daming's finances have been in surplus in recent years. Otherwise, if Daming is fighting on several fronts like it is now, it will really bankrupt the domestic economy.

Zhu Yuanzhang intends to realize the professionalization of the army in his own lifetime, but it needs to be done bit by bit. Among other things, the military's financial problems must be solved. Moreover, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this financial problem cannot be handed over to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War. In his hands, Zhu Yuanzhang had figured it out a long time ago. In this world, the one who is truly reliable is himself. Therefore, as the emperor, he can ignore everything, but the army must be in his own hands.And if you want to hold the army in your hands, you must ensure that you hold the lifeblood of the army, that is, food, military pay, and weapons.As long as the army is in control, what if the officials in the court jump up and down all day long?

However, before Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xi had taken the lead in realizing the professionalization of the army.Of course, this is because there are very few guards under her.

Zhu Xi's title is Princess Ningguo, and as a queen, her status is equivalent to that of a prince.According to the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, as a prince, he can have two guards under his command, and each guard is 5000 people. That is to say, Zhu Xi can have an army of 1 people.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, only the vassal kings who go out to build a vassal have this qualification!However, before that, as Princess Ningguo, she had 500 personal guards.Then Zhu Xi almost immediately recruited all the people!Even, after supplementing the number of officials among them, the people under Zhu Xi's hands exceeded the standard.

However, those supervisors and censors will not keep an eye on how many personal guards the princess Zhu Xi has. In addition, anyway, the imperial court only allocates military pay and food for Zhu Xi to [-] people, which are relatively fixed figures. , The military salary is nothing more than the food and grass are not enough to consume at all.And the excess consumption is made up by the output in Huangzhuang.After all, Zhu Xi's female soldiers didn't have to go out to fight, so the food and grass were distributed according to the minimum, which was also a rule.And the minimum is some rice noodles, just enough for noodle soup and porridge.Zhu Xi was also stubborn. When she realized that this was the rule, she immediately paid out of her own pocket to make up for the extra consumption!

It can be said that Zhu Xi's Huangzhuang's annual output is enough to consume the people under her hands.

This kind of continuous high-intensity training day after day, almost regardless of the cost, naturally trained a team with amazing combat effectiveness.If the psychological quality is not considered, the combat effectiveness of these people is no worse than that of the soldiers in various houses.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang decisively gave Zhu Xi the right to open a mansion and build teeth is because when he saw this branch at the beginning, he thought it was just a little girl's play. After he really became an army, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that there was indeed a lot to do Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to see what the trained army would look like under such conditions.In addition, Zhu Xi's consumption list for training this female soldier has also been in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang looks a little toothache.However, if the combat power trained in this way is sufficient, it is not impossible!

In any case, Zhu Xi is now at the time when the new official takes office. Although her princess mansion has not been built yet, Zhu Xi has simply taken her own guards and wandered around the capital every day.

Then, Zhu Xi really made things happen!

The prince's wedding was congratulated from all over the world. The current situation in the capital is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. No one wants to make trouble at this time.However, there are many foreign envoys, which actually bring about many problems.The Central Plains has always claimed to be a country of etiquette. To those foreigners, they are not very polite. They are usually called Huren, Fanren, or even red-haired ghosts. , The spine has been discounted, and these foreigners have become so-called foreigners.But in fact, when doing things, they are more tolerant. These envoys should follow the laws of Ming Dynasty in the capital, but, after all, everyone has different customs and cannot be forced. Therefore, the management of envoys is actually relatively loose. of.Even if there is something to check, it will not involve the places where the envoys live.

This has led to some people fishing in troubled waters, relying on the existence of those envoys to do some unspeakable things.

Although the world is peaceful now, and there is a picture of peace and prosperity in the country, but in private, some dirty things are still unavoidable.The imperial court forbids the private trading of people, but generally what is prohibited by the imperial court represents great interests. Therefore, despite the strict criminal law, many people still secretly engage in this business.Most of these kidnappers are children, or in other words, most of them are girls who are good-looking.Now that everyone is living a better life and has rich nutrition, many girls can see the outline of the future when they are young. Therefore, compared with before, the risk is actually smaller.There are also boys abducted and sold, some are sold to be slaves, or sold to theatrical troupes, and some are simply harvested and cut up, and then released to beg.

It stands to reason that the capital city is the most benevolent place under the feet of the emperor, but this kind of thing is also repeatedly prohibited.There is no surveillance these days. People who work in this industry generally have several hidden strongholds, are familiar with the terrain, and even have a cover for the outside world. In front of others, they may be doing business, or An honest man who works.

Now the wind is getting tighter in the capital. Originally, these people planned to stop for the time being, and wait until a while later to talk about it. As a result, before the envoys from the Ryukyu side came, it was said that there was also a prince from the Ryukyu side. Many people They ran over to join in the fun. When the few of them passed by, they saw a few girls with good qualifications, and they were ready to move without thinking about it. They used their usual methods to take them away.

If my child is gone, I must report to the authorities!Although these people made a move, they still had a sense of propriety. No one dared to do it. They caught the daughters of ordinary people. Although such people had a little money, they were nothing in the capital. After finding out the case, they sent people down to investigate, but after a year, there were always a lot of such things. Under normal circumstances, nothing could be found out at all, so the people sent down were very perfunctory.According to the general law, after one or two months, the family who lost the child will be desperate and will not continue to pursue it!

This era is not like hundreds of years later. Most families only have one or two children. To be precise, there is only one child. Losing one will simply kill the whole family!These days, it is not uncommon for every household to have five or six or more children. Parents were a little sad at the time, but there are other children to take care of, so what else?You can't ignore other children for the sake of the lost child!

The government was perfunctory, and those people had a very keen sense of smell. After hiding for a while and finding that there was nothing wrong, it was as if they had tasted the sweetness, and then they began to look for opportunities to come out and start committing crimes again!They are all veterans. They can abduct ten or twenty people in one place, and then they can change places!

Originally, the lives of these people would not have any intersection with Zhu Xi, but who would have thought that when Zhu Xi took people back to Jingshan that day, there was a peasant woman waiting at the gate of the Zhuangzi with a steward of Huangzhuang, with a look of panic on her face.

The tenants on the Huangzhuang are those few, the family members and relatives of the soldiers who died in battle. These soldiers didn’t make any military achievements, so naturally they won’t get too many pensions. However, the court wants those soldiers to feel that they have no worries. Their families need to be housed.The easiest way is to gather people into Huangzhuang.Huangzhuang doesn’t need to pay land tax, and the rent is not high. Like Zhu Xi’s place, they will spend money to buy chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep from them, so life is not bad, and there are still a lot of them every year. surplus.

If they were tenants of ordinary landlords, they would have money in their hands, so they would naturally save money to buy a house and land, and be their own masters.However, the tenants on Huangzhuang generally don’t choose this path. Relying on Huangzhuang, no one can bully them, but it’s different if they go out and set up their own family. They have to pay taxes and face exploitation by some officials. However, when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is difficult to get over without the help from the Huangzhuang.The most important thing is that the royal family chooses personal guards for the princes, and they usually choose from the Huangzhuang.Being the personal guard of the princes, this future is much more secure than doing other things!Of course, this does not affect their other children to find other errands. After all, they are tenants and good citizens, not untouchables.

After Zhu Xi took over this Huangzhuang, even girls can be bodyguards. These people don't think there is anything wrong with girls showing their faces in public. Among other things, some girls like this are rushing to marry them !After all, being able to hang out with the princess, among other things, I don't know how many people I have seen, plus the skills I have learned, these are contacts, maybe they can marry some military officer as an official wife in the future!No matter how bad it is, the annual military salary is no lower than that of them working as female workers in workshops.

Therefore, the tenants in Huangzhuang are really living a good life. If they have extra money, they will naturally have more needs.Therefore, the peasant households in Huangzhuang sometimes follow the ox carts and horse-drawn carriages into the city to buy some daily necessities in the city.

For example, this time, there was a family in Huangzhuang whose son was growing up, and when it was time to get married, they wanted to take advantage of the joy of the prince's wedding, and then turn around and arrange their own family's happy event!

No matter when, marriage is always a major event in life, so full preparation is required in advance. Although there are a lot of things in Huangzhuang, there are still many things that have to be bought in the city. Adults have to go to the city to buy things, children? , I also want to join in the fun, everyone has a lot of money, and they are tolerant of children. Anyway, there are many people going, and some people are watching the children, so they brought several children from the family, including the children of this peasant woman. A pair of twins who just turned five years old.The one who is going to get married is the nephew of the peasant woman next door. Because of her good craftsmanship, she can embroider, so she followed the past to pick materials.

These days, it is definitely impossible to watch children one-on-one, or even many-to-one. Usually, the older children watch the younger ones. As a result, the older children who came out with them were attracted by the sugar paintings on the street. , When I regained my senses, my younger siblings were gone!

For this peasant woman, it was a bolt from the blue!She has been married for seven years. With these two children, it's not that she can't have children, but that her husband was selected to be a personal guard with Zhu Yan a few years ago, because he is only a low-level personal guard. It is not a place to live alone, but to live in a barracks, which means that you can only come back when you are on vacation. It is not easy for a couple to get together less and leave more. It is naturally not easy to have children.

As a result, the child was gone this time, and she wanted to find her husband, but it was so easy to get into the inner city, so in the end, she could only ask the steward to wait at the door, waiting for Zhu Xi and the others to come back.

When Zhu Xi heard this, she was furious at first, and then eager to try. Although this is a small matter, it is also something that can reflect her own ability. Therefore, she thought about it, and the city gate was opened the next day. Bring people into town.

After all, Zhu Xi was born in the royal family, and many people thought she had a careless temper. In fact, following Shu Yun, Zhu Xi learned a truth, that is, for some things, you only need the procedure to be correct, then even if you do something wrong Yes, no problem.

Therefore, Zhu Xi naturally ran to Jing Zhaoyin first and reported the matter, and she was going to do the next thing in her own way!

Zhu Xi summoned his subordinates, um, those daughters of Zi Xungui's family. When they heard what Zhu Xi asked them to do, their eyes lit up!Even if they acted a little more out of line than the daughters of civil servants, how had they ever encountered such an exciting thing!How exciting it is to find people as bait and catch traffickers!If it weren't for these girls who knew what a son of a daughter is, they wouldn't be able to sit still, and they would wish to recommend themselves one by one, and become bait by themselves!

Zhu Xi has already figured it out. These kidnappers target not only children, but also young girls, who are more attractive. With a little teaching, they can sell them to those places, and they will be worth a lot of money. money.And there is no future trouble, ordinary people, even if they find this girl, they will not recognize it, fall into the land of fireworks, their fame is gone, everyone would rather such a girl die and forget it!

Zhu Xi was particularly indignant about this kind of thing. In fact, she didn't particularly hate anyone in the past. To put it bluntly, in her capacity, almost no one she met would dare to give her anything wrong. Happy, so, Zhu Xi's previous life was actually relatively simple, but these kidnappers aroused Zhu Xi's anger, whether it was abduction of children or girls, the lives of those children and girls were completely ruined by them Even ruined their families.

Therefore, Zhu Xi had already thought of many ways to entertain those kidnappers in her mind at this moment, but she was not in a hurry at the moment, she began to discuss with her subordinates how this matter should be done so that it can be done beautifully.

Zhu Xi's subordinates are all born in a noble family, and their family education has a long history. In some places, even their brothers are not as good as them!Get together now, and soon, a rough plan will come out, and then the details will be perfected.

Zhu Xi was also afraid of having long nights and dreams, so in order to prevent those kidnappers from running away when they thought the news was wrong, she immediately arranged it. First, she asked a few younger guards to change into ordinary women's clothes, and found someone to dress them up. Barely can be considered to have some manners.There is no way, the training is too frequent, each of them has formed a habit, and they act very crisply, unlike girls from ordinary families.Fortunately, it's not easy for girls to train their muscles, and they can't see it when they put on clothes. As for their dark skin, they are not afraid, they can barely cover it with some jasmine powder and rouge, and then they are looking for those kidnappers Just let them pass by pretending to be single women!

These days, although there are often women who work outside, they usually go together when they go home, and few of them are alone.And such singles are likely to become the target of kidnappers.The vast majority of women are inherently weaker than men, and in one-on-one situations, they don't have much resistance at all.

To be honest, this is actually a stupid way. These kidnappers don't come out very often. They have good eyes and ears. Once they find something wrong, they will immediately retreat.Earlier, Zhu Xi had notified Jing Zhaoyin. Even if Jing Zhaoyin wanted to perfunctory Zhu Xi, he would send more people out.If these kidnappers get some rumors and shrink back, Zhu Xi can't help it no matter how many people he has under his command.

However, Zhu Xi was lucky. In other words, Jing Zhaoyin didn't take Zhu Xi, Princess Ning, seriously.In particular, the two children who were abducted were the children of Zhu Yan's personal guards. As a member of the civil servants, he considered himself a member of the prince's party. He naturally kept the other princes at arm's length, and didn't want to get involved in this matter. Conspiracy theory, I think it is Zhu Yan who directed and acted himself, and wanted to make use of it.

Therefore, Jing Zhaoyin didn't take this matter to heart at all. He sent a few people out to investigate symbolically, and those government officials didn't know what happened. , to earn a little extra money for myself.As for really looking for something, it's impossible, and it's not a child from a wealthy family who lost it, so what if the child from an ordinary family is lost!Especially if I heard that he is still a child of a tenant family, then it is even less of a problem. Maybe after losing it, there will be other chances!

Under such circumstances, the kidnappers naturally didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and they went out for a walk as usual to see if there was any chance to strike.

Then, they planted.

The honorable family has its own means of tracing people, and the selected female soldiers have also received strict training. She can easily leave secret marks on the road, and Zhu Xi directly leads the people to follow the secret marks. He touched the door and surrounded the surrounding area.

Although these people are very cunning, some of them were watchmen, dug cellars, built darkrooms, and there were dog holes behind the courtyard wall, but when they met Zhu Xi, who had a lot of people, they were all caught up in one go, and the children alone were rescued. There were seventeen or eight girls, and five young girls, and the bones of several children were dug up in the yard. Zhu Xi tied them up, and went directly to Zhu Yuanzhang to show off triumphantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Xi's experience, praised Zhu Xi, and asked someone to reward those female soldiers who were used as bait, but in his heart, he was murderous. If there is nothing to do normally, wouldn't it be lying on the high all day?How about making decisions for the people!The common people have such parents and officials, it is simply a sin in the past life!

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been harsh and demanding on officials. He has zero tolerance for corruption. In the past few years, there have been many examples of officials who have been stripped of their skins. However, such thunderous methods do not seem to be effective. Not very obvious, now that Jing Zhaoyin dared to be so perfunctory when he heard it under his nose, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and no matter how many envoys from the feudal kingdoms were in the capital at this time, he didn't bother Asking people to defend themselves or something, they simply called Jin Yiwei directly and told them to deal with it!

Zhu Xi didn't know that by doing this, she directly pulled Jing Zhaoyin down. It is estimated that those officials related to Jing Zhaoyin will also be unlucky, and she is proud of it!

Although it was just a gang of kidnappers, for Zhu Xi, it was a victory that was enough to bring great encouragement. Zhu Xi felt that she could accept a more difficult test, so she began to grind Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would arrange for her A decent errand.

Zhu Xi's reason is also very simple. Zhu Biao has long been in the court to listen to politics. Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and even Zhu Di have also started to participate in politics one after another. There is no way. If you don't know the art of governing the country, you can't rule the world immediately if you just know how to conquer the world immediately!In particular, the situation in newly developed places is much more complicated than that of Daming. Therefore, it is necessary to take a look at the political methods of Daming. Of course, this kind of thing must be adapted to local conditions.In the future, after finally taking down the place, it would be a joke to put down the rebellion every three days because of the disadvantage of governing the country!

Zhu Xi said that her future is not like her sister, Princess Lin'an, who will find a similar honorable son to marry, and she will also go out to establish her own world in the future, so she also needs to have a serious job.

Zhu Yuanzhang also gave Zhu Xi an errand in a serious manner. Well, now there are many envoys from feudal states in the capital, and it is just for Zhu Xi to take up a post in Honglu Temple to deal with these envoys from foreign states.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Xi had never had any similar experience before, so dealing with foreign envoys can be said to be the safest thing!Those who are at odds with Daming will have to do it sooner or later, so even if Zhu Xi offends someone, it doesn't matter, you can just find a fault and beat him up to let them know how powerful Daming is.As for those small countries that surrendered to Ming, even if Zhu Xi was rude in some way, wouldn't they dare to argue with Daming!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that there is a saying that a weak country has no diplomacy, he has already learned this principle without a teacher. Since Ming is the most powerful country around, no matter how rude Zhu Xi is, it will not cause anything out of control s consequence.

Although Zhu Xi felt that this matter was a bit inconsistent with her ability, it was no big or small matter. The matter of catching kidnappers was just an appetizer, and the matter of receiving envoys was already considered a main meal!

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Xi felt that if he wanted to receive those envoys, he had to get to know their customs first.Therefore, Zhu Xi went directly to Honglu Temple first, asked for a copy of all the materials about this visit to the feudal kingdom, and took his own officials to read it.

At the beginning, a group of girls read it as anecdotes and strange stories. You must know that some customs of some feudal states are quite strange and interesting!A lot of information about Honglu Temple comes from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and these two dynasties had frequent exchanges with neighboring countries.In the Song Dynasty, commerce was developed and sea trade was extremely prosperous. In the Yuan Dynasty, to a greater extent, it was because the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was very large and its influence radiated far away. People from Europe also came through the Silk Road.

Under such circumstances, many customs and habits recorded in the dossiers at Honglu Temple are very rich. Even if Zhu Xi distributes these dossiers evenly among the officials, it will take a lot of time for everyone to read them all. .After reading their own copy, they exchange some key information they know with each other, and that's about it.

Feeling that she was almost ready, Zhu Xi was ready to perform her duties, and first went to have a preliminary exchange with the envoys of all parties to see how the other party's attitude was.

Although Zhu Xi has not yet decided where to build her vassal state, she feels that she will have to deal with these countries sooner or later. Wouldn't it be a good decision?

Zhu Xi didn't hide her thoughts at all. She even directly exchanged opinions with those subordinates. Zhu Xi's meaning was very simple. Since you are already my subordinates, then you can also go out with me in the future Those who open up territories, when the time comes, in my country, you can also become dukes and marquises, become prime ministers, and generals, and you will not be old enough to get married. If you get a husband you don’t like at home, you can’t get rid of it. !When it's time to get to your own territory, if a man doesn't please you, just make up with him and leave, just find someone else who suits you!

Don't look at Zhu Xi who hasn't really opened up yet, but she already has an idea of ​​her future husband. Zhu Xi waved her arms and said, "I will be a queen in the future. To recruit a husband, when the time comes, recruit a handsome boy with delicate skin and tender flesh, if he dares not to listen to me, I will crush him to death!" As she spoke, she clenched her fists like a demonstration.

The daughters of a group of Xungui's families are almost all bright-eyed. This sounds very reasonable. If they are married to nephews of similar families, when there is any verbal disagreement, they will probably have to pinch each other. No, it's better to find a little man with little strength. If the other party is disobedient, just beat him to death and replace him!

They have lived in this circle since they were young, and they know a lot of things. For example, Feng Guoyong, who was posthumously named Duke, was the leader of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard back then, but he still survived until Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed the king's system. The relapse of the disease, even if it was discovered in time, was rescued back then, but it has been lingering on the bed since then, and passed away within a year!

Although Feng Guoyong claimed the title of the Duke, his son Feng Cheng was not able to inherit the position of the Duke at the beginning. He did not inherit the position of the Duke until he made meritorious service with Fu Youde in the battle.Besides his son Feng Cheng, Feng Guoyong also had a daughter. After Feng Guoyong died, the son could go to the battlefield to make meritorious service, but the daughter could only live with his uncle Feng Sheng's family.

Feng Sheng didn't treat this niece badly. Seeing that her niece had reached her age, he naturally wanted to arrange a marriage for her. He chose a so-called young talent after thousands of choices, and the dowry was prepared extremely generously.In the end, the entrustment is not human, that guy looks like a dog, but he is actually a white-eyed wolf, eats the Feng family's food, lives in the Feng family's family, actually raises a foreign room outside, and hangs around the brothel all day long Painting boats, so that Feng's depression became ill, and he passed away at a young age.After Feng's death, Feng Sheng knew that his niece was living such a life, and it was too late to regret it now, even if he wanted to tear that bastard into pieces, he couldn't save his niece back.

This also made a group of daughters of Xungui's family feel a little afraid of marriage. If the entrustment is wrong, it will really be over!Such things as Heli are really rare these days. Under normal circumstances, no one will take this path unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now being encouraged by Zhu Xi, I suddenly felt that in this kind of matter, parents and brothers and sister-in-law may not be reliable, and I still have to be able to do it myself!If you really go out with Zhu Xi, you can also be a female general, a female prime minister, and so on. At that time, you can recruit any husband and son-in-law you want. If you are not satisfied, you can change it. Why can a man have three wives and four concubines? , women will die from one end?If a man is not a thing, there is no need for a woman to endure it all the time!

For these aristocratic women, with such a thought, all of a sudden motivation is enough!Without any encouragement from Zhu Xi, she devoted herself to her work.

Of course, each of them is a little cautious in their hearts. Girls always love beauty. Even if they are very capable and have money and people around them, they still have requirements for external conditions.For example, it can't be a place that lacks water. Little girls like them, even if they don't take a bath every day, they should have it once every two or three days!The climate can't be too bad, they don't want to go to the desert to eat sand.If you think about it this way, you have to quickly find the right direction, so as not to turn around and be taken by others first.

In those vassal states, there are still many natural resources are very rich, the environment is also very good, and almost all of them can be self-sufficient, but in many cases, the environment is too superior and not good.Just like in Nanyang, everyone can feed themselves by picking the fruits from the trees all year round, so naturally no one is willing to spend much effort on farming or hunting!The four seasons are relatively warm, and you can keep warm by surrounding the leaves of trees. Naturally, everyone will not bother to find a way to weave cloth to make clothes. At most, they will hang some shiny stones and metals on their bodies to show their identity.

As for the Central Plains, the land is not very fertile, the local food species are not so good, and the climate has four distinct seasons. Every few decades, there will always be so many natural disasters. Only after a series of difficulties can a solution be found, such as the continuous domestication of various edible animals and plants, and the invention of various tools that can help production, civilization will continue to develop.

In order to accumulate experience, Zhu Xi chose to communicate with those vassal states that surrendered to Daming and had a relatively close relationship with Daming at the beginning.When Zhu Xi and the others communicated with those envoys, after hearing about their country's climate and some resources, their eyes almost shone.However, the relationship between these countries and Daming is not bad, and they have always been quite submissive. Naturally, they cannot be conquered. Zhu Xi can only ponder to see which country is not so honest!

The envoys of these vassal kingdoms don't know what Zhu Xi and the other beautiful and lovely ladies are thinking. They are scrambling to please them one by one, presenting them with various special products of their own country. Several small countries are thinking about it. They asked whether they could marry a noble lady from the Shang Kingdom, and they went back. The main reason is that the noble ladies from the Shang Kingdom they met were not only extraordinary in bearing, but also quite extraordinary in their knowledge. No matter how much, only such a noble girl is worthy to be the queen of her own kingdom!It would be even better if these noble girls could bring the advanced technology and culture of Ming Dynasty when they marry into their own country!These envoys have these small calculations in their hearts. How do they know that these ladies who look very beautiful and speak well are thinking in their hearts whether they can occupy their country?

After seeing the envoys from these friendly feudal states, Zhu Xi and the others began to deal with those envoys from the feudal states who were acting rather sloppy and hesitant. Take the opportunity to show off, if the other party has any follow-up actions, just use them as an example to others!

Therefore, when facing these envoys from the vassal state, Zhu Xi's attitude was not so polite, and suddenly became a lot tougher.

However, those who can be sent out as envoys generally don't choose any idiots or people with a hot temper. They are flexible no matter what. Therefore, even though Zhu Xi was quite tough and even arrogant, these envoys endured.I can't help it, this is on someone else's territory, and even if it is a princess' bodyguard, they are all female soldiers, and they all look very energetic. Judging by their posture, their combat power should not be too high. Difference!This inevitably gave them a relatively high evaluation of the combat power of the Ming army.Besides, although there is a saying that the two armies are at war, don't kill them!But if you really make people anxious, and they make you feel uncomfortable, who can you turn to for reasoning?

To be honest, Zhu Xi was a little disappointed by this. She originally thought that she could find someone who didn't know each other so that she could have a try on the quality of the other party, but who would have thought that one would be better than the other? Can't find a reason!

Just when Zhu Xi thought that he might have to return in vain, and was about to go back to look for those envoys from small countries who, even now, still wear a pair of trousers with Yuan Ting and have been at odds with Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaoyun found out
