Fang Jifan read the letter and couldn't help but beam with joy: "Wang Xizuo is really capable, haha... When he comes back, I will reward him with dozens of acres of land."

After Fang Jifan finished speaking, he encountered another problem.

Visiting group...

How to entertain?

I don't know Francophone myself.

Only a few hello and Good touch you.

He was silent for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao who was eager to try, he was happy: "Your Highness, there is something that I have to entrust to His Royal Highness to take care of it."

"What are you doing?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan warily.

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "His Royal Highness is well versed in the past and the present, and knows the languages ​​of all countries. It is really remarkable."

Zhu Houzhao's vigilance gradually eased, and he said happily: "It's nothing. I only learned a dozen kinds. Although it is unprecedented, it is expected that future generations will finally know one or two cats and dogs. This palace is just in case."

Fang Jifan said: "Now there are a group of Frangji people coming, His Royal Highness is a noble person, it is time to let them feel at home, if His Royal Highness can take them to play and take a walk, that would be great .”

Ordinary people go to entertain, Fang Jifan is not at ease.

These people owe their money.

It is the uncle who owes money.

If these guys go back to Frangji and chop up their debt agent Wang Xizuo, who will they turn to?

As for myself, my temper is a bit grumpy, but His Royal Highness is different. He is very proficient in such things as eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhu Houzhao groaned: "So it's such a trivial matter, why don't I give it a try, but what are you going to do?"

"I have to prepare a memorial immediately and sort out the information from Frangji so that I can report to His Majesty. Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Northern Province. It is very important. I am afraid that there will be another discussion in the court."

"Leave it to Bengong." Zhu Houzhao seemed very happy.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao agreed so happily, Fang Jifan began to doubt life... Generally speaking, the more straightforward the Crown Prince, the greater the chance of accidents.

But on Fang Jifan's side, he was really thinking about how to digest the news from Frangji. Next, the DPRK and China would be fighting with each other again. The northern province was a fulcrum for the Ming Dynasty's strategy and strategy Frangji. A northern province thousands of miles away is nothing, but what matters is Daming's Franji national policy, which is not easy.

…………

Ziller and the visiting delegation landed from Tianjin.

As soon as they arrived in Tianjin, they were shocked by the scene before them.

This is a port much larger than the port in the Northern Province.

Afterwards, without waiting for them to stay, a carriage carried them into the heart of Daming.

Along the way, they saw villages everywhere, and the road was full of traffic, and even... in the distance, they could see huge steel monsters whimpering and galloping.

This visit is more of a certain degree of helplessness.

Just as the French made peace with the Ottomans in order to break the siege of the Kingdom of Spain.

This time...the reason why they came to Daming was because they had to seek outside help after the rebellion.

Ziller is a nobleman. His family background can be traced back to the period of the Western Roman Empire. His family has always been in the northern province, and has a certain relationship with the royal family of France.

It's just... Ziller, like all Dutch nobles, not only loathes the rulers of Spain, but at the same time, they are quite vigilant about the covetousness of the Kingdom of France.

Since the war between Britain and France, the king of France has taken an absolute advantage. In the territory of the Kingdom of France, he has begun to abolish the power of the nobles, turning countless territories into provinces directly under the king's direct control. This has greatly strengthened the power of the French royal family and made France The royal family has become the most powerful royal family in Europe, but it also caused many nobles to complain.

Now... many people have settled down.

They realized that the governor hadn't lied to himself.

When they arrived in the capital... they were even more shocked by this huge city with a population of over one million.

They saw contiguous residential areas, criss-crossing streets, and countless horses and horses. Compared with it, even the largest city in the Northern Province was more like a village.

They arrived at a place, and then, a nobleman greeted them with many followers.

The man was wearing very decent clothes and a fancy tiara, and said, "Do you know French, Spanish, or English?"

This is Spanish.

Up and down the delegation, you look at me, I look at you.

They all speak Spanish.

But out of dislike for the Spaniards, Ziller said: "We all know French."

Then, the person's language began to switch: "That's great. I also like to speak French the most. Is that what you said? Could it be that you have listened and have some obstacles."

This noble man who claimed to be the Palace obviously spoke with a strong accent, but...he pronounced his words clearly, and there was no obstacle to communication.

This person is of course Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao continued: "Duke Qi has something to do. In the past two days, I will let me take you for a walk and have a look."

Qi Le and others did not know Zhu Houzhao's identity.

Zhu Houzhao

I don't even bother to say.

He took people with him and began to tour the capital, from schools, to hospitals, to theaters, and even...there was also a steam engine station, a Yamen in Shuntian Mansion, a garden between Linlin Xincheng and the Fifth Ring Road, and various other places. workshop.

Ziller's eyes were almost straightened.

He can neither imagine that a city can accommodate such a huge population, nor can he imagine how much productivity such a huge city can bring.

He was looking at the flowers on horseback, but it was more like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Immediately afterwards, he was even taken by Zhu Houzhao to visit a newly built mansion. This is a five-story building, a red brick house, with cement paved inside. After the cement was leveled, a layer of paint was applied.

The weather is getting colder and there is heating in the house. People are reluctant to come out after entering the house.

This is a new building, not far from the sales office.

There seemed to be many people, people crowded at the sales door, sweating profusely, shouting something.

Ziller and others were puzzled.

Then, the salesperson came to Zhu Houzhao respectfully and said something, Qi Le didn't hold back, and waited for the people to leave before looking at Zhu Houzhao: "Your Excellency, what is this?"

They are fresh and exciting about everything here.

The scale of the city here is even dozens of times larger than that of Paris.

Many facilities are the first time they have seen them.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Someone came to buy a house. They robbed too much and made a lot of noise. Unfortunately, it was sold out. Those who didn't buy it had to be scolded."

Ziller and the others looked at each other.

Buying a house... real estate... can it be sold like this?

This reminded them of tulips, which was how they were robbed back then.

"Your Excellency... I think... the popularity of real estate may not be a good thing."

"Who said that?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Qi Le with a smile.

Qi Le is very serious: "This property is just bricks and stones, no matter how beautiful it is, it will not be snatched."

Standing on the window sill, Zhu Houzhao pointed to the outside: "The house is built of earth and wood, does it cost money?"

Qi Le is happy to discuss this issue with Zhu Houzhao.

What Zhu Houzhao said made them nod subconsciously.

Zhu Houzhao then said again: "Look, if you live here, you can go out on the road. Is this road money?"

Everyone looked at the straight road below, and Qi Le was the first to nod: "Yes, such a road can provide a lot of convenience."

"Look in the distance, the chimney is the workshop, the workshop is the work, and the two streets next to it are the school, there is the hospital, and the house is more than a place to shelter from the wind and rain. A family of young and old studying, entertaining, and working, take a look..."

Zhu Houzhao ordered someone to take the map: "This is where we are. Have you noticed that if you sell a piece of land here, one piece is missing? This is a good place, not to mention, it only costs a dozen taels of silver. You can buy the house, how can there be such a good thing in the world."

Ziller and others were shocked.

More than a dozen taels of silver.

They roughly, have already understood the value of Ming currency.

This is the equivalent of four Spanish ducats.

Although the four Spanish gold coins are worth a lot, they are not too much for the visiting group. Even after going through a crisis, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse...

so cheap?

"Because Xishan Bank provided a loan with an extremely low interest rate. Guess what it is? It's only five points..."

call……

The accompanying businessmen of the visiting group exclaimed.

Europe's current lending is still in a very primitive stage, banks have not yet appeared, and as for loans, most of them are private loans from Jews, but the interest is terrible, five points, this is already a good person, inflation It has always existed, whether it is Europe or Ming Dynasty, if it is a Jewish merchant, their interest rate may be more than five times.

People looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "It only takes a few dozen taels of silver to live here comfortably, isn't it a loss? Look at this house, the security is very good, and there are special management personnel below, cleaning up the garbage every day, every day There are special huts on each floor, and... look... there is heating here, look at the glass windows..."

Zhu Houzhao talked about the advantages of this house with relish.

Ziller and the others started whispering again, and at this time they gradually began to understand some of the reasons why those people robbed the house.

Tulip...that is a fruit, but the house...seems...does have its value.

People stood on the windowsill on the fifth floor, looking out of the window. There was a market on the street below, and the market was full of cars and horses, making it extremely noisy.

Qi Le sighed in his heart, if at the beginning... he bought real estate instead of those tulips, maybe... his situation would not be so bad.

But……

It seems that the land and real estate in the Northern Province itself does not seem to have much value.
