Chapter 2111, A gift from the Emperor of Heaven 1

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the palace of Xingguo in West Africa, Xingwang Zhu Houcong was frowning and looking very troubled.

    Since he inherited the power and responsibility of Xingguo from his father, King Xing has been working hard to build Xingguo into a powerful vassal state.

    However, over the years, he found that all his efforts were almost in vain and useless.

    At that time, Xingguo did not abide by the conventional rules among overseas colonies and vassal states, and sent troops to occupy Jindao. Not only did it not gain any benefits, but it also ruined its reputation, causing it to be disgraced by many overseas vassal states and colonies.  Isolated, even many trading houses, merchants, etc. are unwilling to have too much contact with Xingguo.

    Under such a situation, Xingguo's development is struggling. Without the help of external forces, relying solely on Xinguo's own population, development is extremely slow.

    Even though Zhu Houcong tried various ways to repair his image of rejuvenating the country, it still didn't work.

    If Xingguo wants to buy something, it must be in cash. In the past, a telegram, a letter, or a sentence could often buy a large amount of supplies on credit from other colonies, vassal states, and chambers of commerce.

    After all, the former King Xing was the younger brother of Emperor Hongzhi. No one looked at the monks or the Buddha. Even if sometimes Xingguo came to 'beg for alms' or something, everyone would pinch their noses and give him some food, supplies, etc.

    But things are different now. Emperor Hongzhi abdicated, and the new emperor Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houcong are cousins. This relationship is even more distant. Zhu Houzhao is not the Hongzhi Emperor. He is not that easy to talk to, and he is not so willing to take care of the clan.  A vassal king or something.

    There is also a huge difference in personality between Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was a good man and easy to talk to, but Zhu Houzhao was different. He often followed his own temperament.

    If you are happy, it is easy to say anything. If you are unhappy, it is hard to say anything.

    "Hey, what kind of gifts should this poor Dingdangxiang prepare?"

    Zhu Houcong had a sad face. Emperor Zhengde had ascended the throne, and a grand coronation ceremony would be held soon. They, the vassal kings, all needed to send people to attend. When they went to attend the coronation ceremony, they would undoubtedly have to bring a copy with them.  The gift goes.

    As a vassal king, it is still a gift to the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it must be handled well and not too shabby, otherwise it will not only lose your own face, but also the face of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

    What's more, Zhu Houcong knew very well that in the future, there would be many, many places where he would need the help of the Ming Empire to rejuvenate the country, and he must please the new emperor.

    "My lord, I heard that the new emperor likes beauties, exotic animals, and ingenious sexual skills. We might as well work hard in this area, so that we can spend less money and make the emperor satisfied and happy."

    Beside Zhu Houcong, Minister of Xingguo Mao Jiao thought for a while and said.

    "We have no shortage of rare and exotic animals here, including lions, elephants, rhinos, orangutans, etc. But if they were transported to the Ming Dynasty capital, they would probably die on the way. The journey is too far, and  It¡¯s the twelfth lunar month of winter here in the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, and it¡¯s freezing to death.¡±

    Zhu Houcong thought for a while and said.

    "If you want to transport it, I will think of a way. Today's large freighters can still transport it easily. As for the issue of keeping warm, I heard that there is a zoo in the capital, which breeds rare and exotic animals from all over the world. They should be  There are ways to keep animals warm.¡±

    Mao Jiao pondered for a while and said: "It's just that apart from these rare and rare beasts, our Xingguo population is small, and this beauty pageant can't select any beautiful beauties. If we send them out, it might make the emperor unhappy."

    "Given our current situation, we really can't get rid of these other things."

    "Go and hand over some ivory, gems, diamonds, gold, etc. in the king's warehouse to the craftsmen. No matter what, you can make something as soon as possible. When the time comes, Mr. Mao, you will go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to participate in the grand ceremony."

    Zhu Houcong thought for a while and said.

    Xingguo is really poor now and really has nothing to offer, especially where money is needed. This makes Zhu Houcong very heartbroken.

    Ding Dangxiang is already poor, and now he has to dig out his pockets. The things in his treasury are actually very few, and they are just a few things that he has managed to save over the years.

    "Remember, you must find a way to meet the Supreme Emperor when the time comes and tell him about our happiness.Unless a very large blue diamond was discovered here recently, we will use this blue diamond as the basis to build a crown.  "

    "Secondly, I heard that the emperor likes to study all kinds of machinery. Didn't someone in South Africa invent the phonograph and camera?"

    "I think we can also send these two things as gifts. I think the emperor will definitely like them."

    Liu Da thought for a while and expressed his opinion.

    South Africa is extremely rich in mineral resources, especially gold and diamond reserves. With the development of South Africa, a large number of gold and diamond mines have been discovered in South Africa. The gold and diamonds mined every year are very large.  Much.

    Especially for diamonds, the South African colony is already the largest producer of diamonds in the world. Not only is the quantity large, but it is also often able to mine high-quality diamonds, which are deeply loved by the wealthy people of the Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
