My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 637 Tianzhu’s experiences
After resting in Port Lion for a few days, the fleet headed north again and arrived at Port Delba. Then they abandoned the ship and took a bus. They walked for about half a month and finally arrived in Delhi.

As Zhu Zhanhe walked along the way, he observed the local customs and customs along the way.

The development of the Internet in later generations has also allowed many people who have never been to Tianzhu to have a preliminary understanding of them. In Zhu Zhanhe's impression, Tianzhu has only one word, and that is "dirty".

Dead bodies floating in the Ganges, streets littered with garbage, and emaciated cows and homeless people everywhere form the first impression of Tianzhu for many people. Of course, these are also facts.

What Zhu Zhanhe sees now is a Tianzhu from hundreds of years ago. Compared with the Tianzhu of later generations, the Tianzhu of this era is actually better. The main reason is that the population of Tianzhu of this era is relatively small, unlike that of later generations. In the exploded Tianzhu, the living environment has become extremely bad.

A small population means more resources per capita. In addition, in the places where Zhu Zhanhe traveled, whether it is Lion City or Port Delba, there are a large number of Han immigrants. Especially in Lion City, the number of Han people has exceeded half.

The arrival of the Han people not only brought advanced civilization, but also healthier living habits, hygiene is only one of them.

In fact, not to mention Tianzhu, even Paris in Europe is still under siege of feces and urine. High heels have to be invented to prevent stepping on feces, and perfume is a necessity to cover up the stench on the body. In comparison, the Ming Dynasty The cities are simply too clean.

Of course, after leaving the city, the conditions are relatively poor. You can often see some natives defecating in the open, and domestic animals often block the roads, causing traffic congestion. But in general, these are minor problems.

Along the road from Delba Port to Delhi, you can see villages where Han immigrants live. These villages generally have simple fortifications and are surrounded by earth walls. Villagers patrol the villages voluntarily at night.

This is mainly because the natives were instigated by the upper-class Brahmins and clashed with the Han immigrants. Although the suppression has been suppressed now, the Han immigrants still maintain the habit of vigilance. Even during the slack season, the village will organize young people to practice martial arts. , so that you can protect yourself if you encounter danger.

When Zhu Zhanhe and his party arrived in Delhi, they found that there were more Han immigrants here. There were 15 people living in the entire city of Delhi, of which more than 10 were Han people. These [-] people did not all live in the city, but were distributed Around the city of Delhi, Delhi has become the largest settlement of Han people in Tianzhu.

When Yang Shiqi learned about Zhu Gaoxu's return, he immediately led all civil and military officials to greet him.

"Your Majesty! I haven't seen you for so many years, you are more mature than before!"

After Yang Shiqi saluted Zhu Gaoxu, he came to Zhu Zhanhe and exchanged greetings.

"Haha, Yang Changshi, you have changed a lot. My father has always praised you all the way, saying that you are his most important right-hand man!"

Zhu Zhanhe also smiled and returned the courtesy.

Yang Shiqi looks much older now than he did then, especially because his skin is so dark and red due to the sun. He can almost be compared with the natives of Tianzhu. You can tell from his appearance alone. He must have suffered a lot in Tianzhu these years.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe felt a little guilty when he saw Yang Shiqi. If he hadn't recommended Yang Shiqi to be the chief historian, he might have been able to stay comfortably in the Ming Dynasty, and he might have entered the cabinet now, and his power would not be much less than it is now.However, although Yang Shiqi was much older, he was in good spirits and was very enthusiastic about Zhu Zhanhe. After the two chatted for a few words, he introduced Zhu Zhanhe to the officials behind him, some of whom Zhu Zhanhe knew. , are all former subordinate officials of the palace, but some of them are very unfamiliar. They were probably promoted after Zhu Gaoxu came to Tianzhu.

Zhu Zhanhe did not see Zhang Xing and Chang Wei in the crowd. They were recommended to Zhu Gaoxu personally by Zhu Zhanhe and are now Zhu Gaoxu's capable men. Zhu Gaoxu left Tianzhu before, so Zhang Xing and Chang Wei led their troops to garrison. At the northern border of Tianzhu, there is no way to escape now, and of course, you can't come back to greet them.

Then Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe, accompanied by Yang Shiqi and others, entered the city of Delhi together.

I saw that the streets entering the city are wide and the shops on both sides are in order. Behind the streets, there are still many places undergoing major demolition and construction. The new buildings built are all in the Central Plains style. It is estimated that in a few years, the entire Delhi The urban construction of the city will take on a completely new look and it will become a Chinese city overseas.

Walking along the road into the city, we soon came to a palace, which is Zhu Gaoxu's Han Palace. It used to be the palace of the Sultan of Delhi. After Zhu Gaoxu occupied this place, he simply renovated the palace. As his own palace to live in, the entire palace has a strong Islamic style.

"Zhan He, this palace is a bit small, and the palace inside is also weird. I used to live alone, so I didn't care. Now that you and your mother are here, you can organize the craftsmen to rebuild a royal city and directly Just copy the Nanjing Imperial City!"

Zhu Gaoxu then pointed at the palace and gave instructions to Zhu Zhanhe.

"No problem. If my father wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, he indeed needs a large-scale imperial city!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded immediately.

Yang Shiqi, who was standing nearest, heard the conversation between father and son, especially the words "ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor", which made him glance at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise, but then he smiled slightly. After all, this had been expected by him. bingo.

The banquet had been prepared in the main hall of the palace. Yang Shiqi led the officials to salute Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe again to celebrate their successful return. Then the reception banquet officially began.

Zhu Zhanhe also got acquainted with these officials of the palace again through the banquet. Although Yang Shiqi introduced them before, of course he couldn't remember them all. In addition, he also had to understand the duties and abilities of these officials. This was by no means It can be done in a day or two.

Zhu Gaoxu was also very happy. He got very drunk at the end of the banquet and was helped back to the palace to rest.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't drink much, but talked a lot with Yang Shiqi, mainly to get familiar with the situation in Delhi so that he could take over better in the future. After all, Zhu Gaoxu usually only focused on fighting and rarely paid attention to internal government affairs.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about government affairs. I will help you get familiar with it gradually. But now there is one thing that we need your help with, otherwise we won't be able to do it at all!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yang Shiqi suddenly spoke with a solemn expression.
