Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...At present, princes and princesses from all countries are coming to curry favor with Zhu Yunwen, which is quite lively. Only the prince of Chechi Kingdom did not come. It is said that he suffered a great shock and is undergoing treatment.
Chen Ye knew that the prince of Chechi Kingdom must have been deeply traumatized and then frightened by the thunderbolt. It was normal for him to have mental problems under such a double blow.
In Chen Ye's view, that guy deserved what he got.
After all, he had provoked Zhu Yunwen time and time again, and Zhu Yunwen had warned him before.
However, he was still oblivious to his own mortality. Zhu Yunwen's decision not to take his life was already a sign of mercy.
After all, princes from various countries were present, and it was really not appropriate for Zhu Yunwen to take their lives.
In the current situation, Zhu Yunwen was not opposed to it. Princes and princesses from various countries were all trying to curry favor with him, so they sat down together and discussed the issue of cooperation between the countries.
The princes and princesses of these countries all expressed their willingness to purchase large quantities of bicycles, tricycles, floral water, cement, and other items from the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, they also wanted to purchase weapons from the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhu Yunwen was quite cautious about these weapons and did not plan to sell them in large quantities to foreign countries for the time being. Only the Women's Kingdom could purchase a small number of firearms.
Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately cast envious glances at the princess of the Women's Kingdom, after all, they had all seen that weapon before, and it was simply amazing.
Everyone really wanted to get their hands on these weapons, but Zhu Yunwen wasn't interested in selling them to them yet.
The princess of the Women's Kingdom, having been close to Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty and Zhao Qingzhu, the Crown Prince's wife, occasionally got such an opportunity. This can be considered a benefit that the princess of the Women's Kingdom gained for her choices.
Everyone was envious, but what could they do? They could only regret not having latched onto Zhu Yunwen's coattails sooner, which led to this predicament.
However, they felt it wasn't too late. As long as they tried their best to cling to the Ming Dynasty and curry favor with it in the future, they would definitely have the opportunity to purchase very powerful weapons from the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen's kindness to the Women's Kingdom was, in a way, a deliberate hint to other countries.
Therefore, other countries also understand this principle, and naturally they will not waste such an opportunity in the future.
This small gathering led to Zhu Yunwen and many of the participating countries signing very concrete contracts.
For example, the kingdoms of Baoxiang and Zhuzi wanted to purchase a large number of tricycles and bicycles from the Ming Dynasty.
These are the two countries that bought these items from the Ming Dynasty. After taking them back, they would add a little money and sell them to their own people.
In this way, they can also make a little money from it, while also enabling their people to own bicycles and tricycles.
This idea is indeed quite good, and the Kingdom of Wuji has ordered a lot of floral water, which they are quite interested in.
As for bicycles and tricycles, they decided to visit Daming before making a purchase.
In addition, various countries have also shown interest in some other industries of the Ming Dynasty.
They all actually had a strong desire to visit the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen was naturally very welcoming, because if they could visit and see the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the various items it possessed, they would definitely buy a lot of things that interested them.
This can be considered a form of publicity, which Zhu Yunwen was quite happy to accept.
So Zhu Yunwen invited them to visit the Ming Dynasty, since he was planning to return to the Ming Dynasty in the next couple of days anyway.
His invitation naturally delighted everyone, as they had been wanting to visit the Ming Dynasty anyway.
Because the Ming Dynasty is so powerful now, all sorts of things are very interesting to everyone.
Since they were interested, and now that they had such an opportunity, they naturally didn't want to let it go.
It would be even better if we could learn something in the Ming Dynasty and bring it back.
Among these people, some had good intentions, wanting to go to the Ming Dynasty to see its treasures firsthand, achieve better and deeper cooperation, and learn something worthwhile from the Ming Dynasty.
Some, however, harbored ulterior motives, hoping to travel to the Ming Dynasty to see if they could steal some core technologies. This would be a tremendous boon for these countries.
So all the princes and princesses decided that they would go to the Ming Dynasty with Zhu Yunwen.
Zhao Qingzhu was also very happy. She looked at the princes and princesses present and thought to herself with a touch of smugness:
Let these guys see for themselves just how powerful the Ming Dynasty really is.
For the next two days, Zhu Yunwen was the focus of all the princes and princesses. Wherever he went, a group of princes and princesses followed behind him, surrounding him like a star.
Indeed, Zhu Yunwen got to experience the feeling of being flattered by many people.
Although he had already enjoyed such privileges as the grandson of the Ming emperor, things were different now. These princes and princesses from various countries were now far inferior to Zhu Yunwen.
Their admiration for Zhu Yunwen and their yearning for the Ming Dynasty were beyond words.
Time flies! Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and on the morning of the third day, Zhu Yunwen was already sitting in the carriage.
