After forcibly enduring watching the Indian dance with Zhao Qingzhu and the others, ah, I was finally able to be arranged to rest at my accommodation.

After arriving at their destination, Zhu Yunwen rubbed his forehead and said to Zhao Qingzhu:

"This country is quite powerful, with a large population and other advantages. It can be considered a major country in the western and southwestern regions."

It's a pity, though. Some aspects of their culture are difficult for us to accept, not just the food, but also the dances; most people just can't appreciate them.

Zhao Qingzhu immediately nodded and said:

"Even I, a woman, can't appreciate it. It's absolutely terrifying. That mesmerizing dance is still lingering in my mind, I can't shake it off."

Zhu Yunwen gave a wry smile and said:

"Based on my understanding of them, as long as we are still here, they will continue to dance enthusiastically for us for some time to come."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu shuddered in horror and asked:

"When are we leaving? I don't want to watch that dance anymore." Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment, then said:

"I'm not in a hurry. I want to stay here for about a week to discuss some details."

India is a great country, and having business dealings with them would be a tremendous boon to our Great Ming Dynasty.

And as you can see, their food is too monotonous. Everything is piled together, and they don't care whether it tastes good or not; they just turn it all into a paste.

Therefore, these so-called delicacies are probably already widely criticized in their own local area.

Therefore, once the two countries begin trade, India's demand for various foods from the Ming Dynasty will be enormous.

This only covers food; it doesn't include clothing, shelter, and transportation, or the other three aspects.

Zhao Qingzhu understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning. Simply put, India is a huge market that absolutely needs to be taken seriously and developed well.

It can even withstand the markets of several countries that it had previously developed.

This is indeed a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, as it allows its people to engage in a lot of foreign trade.

They sent a lot of real gold and silver from India to the Ming Dynasty.

So Zhao Qingzhu didn't say anything more, and the two of them fell asleep early.

The next day, the King of India had his son, the prince of India, accompany Zhu Yunwen on a tour near the capital of India.

The prince of Tianzhu was only about twenty years old, a little older than Zhu Yunwen, but they were of similar age and could talk to each other.

In addition, the King of India also wanted Zhu Yunwen to get to know India better, since the two sides were now cooperating and it was natural to maintain good relations.

Zhu Yunwen did not refuse; he also wanted to learn about the living conditions of the people in these places.

There were quite a few common people in the royal city.

Since there were quite a few nobles living here, the general standard of living was quite good for the local people.

There are also many beautiful sights.

Zhu Yunwen traveled to several places and had quite a few gains.

In his opinion, it was much better than having to appreciate that very distinctive dance.

That was quite an eyesore; on the first day, Zhu Yunwen was accompanied by a prince from India to travel around.

The next day, Zhu Yunwen learned that the King of Tianzhu had begun to implement the previous foreign trade agreement and dispatch troops.

Some envoys went to the Ming Dynasty to import some things, and at the same time they also brought some local specialties, such as seasonal fruits that are easy to preserve and other things.

It's essentially about showcasing each other's specialties to attract orders.

Take these things to the Ming Dynasty.

When the merchants of the Ming Dynasty saw this, they would cooperate with them.

They personally visited the Ming Dynasty, saw some things, and were able to purchase them. After bringing them back, they handed them over to merchants in India, opening up trading channels for them to make large-scale purchases.

This step marked the beginning of trade between the two countries, and Zhu Yunwen was finally somewhat relieved.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the prince of Tianzhu Kingdom fell slightly ill and was unable to accompany Zhu Yunwen on his excursion.

Zhu Yunwen also said that he and Zhao Qingzhu could go out for a trip by themselves without anyone accompanying them.

Although the King of Tianzhu was somewhat uneasy, he still had considerable faith in the strength of the guards accompanying Zhu Yunwen.

So I didn't say anything more.

However, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu did not actually bring any guards.

After leaving the palace, I strolled along the main street, wandering around and appreciating the unique culture of India.

Buddhism is quite prevalent here, and you can often see many monks walking down the street.

Moreover, the local people are very devout Buddhists, and those with a little money often donate to the local temples.

Just as Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu were strolling around, a young man from India stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty, I am a humble servant."

Zhu Yunwen asked in confusion:

How do you know who I am? And who are you?

The young man replied with a smile:

“I am the son of an official of the Indian court. I had the honor of attending a gathering before and meeting His Highness the Crown Prince. I never expected to have the honor of seeing His Highness the Crown Prince again today. Your Highness, this is my home. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?”

Zhu Yunwen was indeed a bit tired from walking, and he didn't know where the inn was or where he could get a drink of water.
