And so, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu traveled freely through various places in the countryside, heading towards Nanjing.
The news of Zhu Yunwen's personal voyage at sea has spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone was happy about the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the domineering nature of Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu traveled to a small county town near Nanjing and decided to rest for a day there to recuperate before returning to Nanjing.
Although this small county town is small, it is very prosperous.
As the weather gets hotter, the streets become even more lively, especially as it gets dark and the sun sets, the streets are packed with people.
Zhu Yuntong and Zhao Qingzhu looked like an ordinary couple walking down the street.
Although the handsome man and beautiful woman still attracted a lot of attention, they were ultimately able to enjoy some ordinary time.
As darkness fell, lanterns lit up the streets, and the nightlife of the people of the Ming Dynasty began.
Trade with various countries allowed the people of the Ming Dynasty to enjoy many foreign goods, which became a good means of boosting the domestic economy.
It also added to the enjoyment of people's lives.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu strolled around and bought some things.
It was late at night when Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu finally returned to the tavern where they had been eating.
After washing up, the two were preparing to go to bed early, but just as they turned off the lights, there was a knock on the door.
Zhu Yunwen was puzzled, then got up and opened the door. He saw several very beautiful women being led by a middle-aged man.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen asked:
"Is there something you need?"
The man outside the door nodded to Zhu Yunwen and said:
"Young master, these ladies are all new to this line of work. Would you like to choose one?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen didn't react at first. He looked at the women with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, the woman in red stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Young master, my family is poor. My whole family depends on me working. My life is so hard..."
Another girl from K-Pop also said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Young master, I have an elderly grandfather who has planted several acres of tea, but no one is buying it, so I have no choice but to come out..."
Another woman also spoke up:
"I have a younger brother who needs to study hard, but alas, my family is in dire straits. Please, sir, have mercy on me..."
Upon hearing their words, Zhu Yunwen suddenly widened his eyes, took a step back in shock, and said:
"Goodness, a door-to-door service, huh? No, no, get out of here right now..."
With that, he slammed the door shut, then looked shocked, never expecting to encounter something like this.
He then shook his head and put the matter out of his mind.
Although he was the crown prince, and although these women's behavior was improper, he didn't need to interfere to this extent.
After lying down on the bed, Zhao Qingzhu asked what happened, and Zhu Yuntong gave a wry smile and said:
"Just a few prostitutes, nothing to worry about."
Then she quickly fell asleep. (Reading...)
The next day, Zhu Yuntong and Zhao Qingzhu left the small county town together, braving the sweltering heat, and rode their bicycles towards Nanjing.
Although they didn't travel fast, and were even a bit slow.
But Ma Sanbao and his team moved even slower because they needed to return to Nanjing and had to bring more things with them.
That's only because transportation is so developed now; otherwise, it would be even slower.
But no matter how fast it is, it will still be a few days slower than Zhu Yunwen.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu rode bicycles for half a day and arrived outside Nanjing.
The two then slightly concealed their faces and, after entering Nanjing, revealed their true appearances outside the palace, successfully gaining entry.
Upon learning of Zhu Yunwen's return, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately went to see him.
Zhu Yunwen originally intended to visit Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to come to him, which made Zhu Yunwen quite embarrassed.
Upon meeting Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang did not require Zhu Yunwen to perform the proper greetings. Instead, he immediately stepped forward, took Zhu Yunwen's hand, and said:
"With the Crown Prince, how can the Ming Dynasty not prosper? You only need to go to sea, and you will make the coastal countries become vassal states of the Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to establish trade cooperation with the Ming Dynasty."
You are simply a lucky star for our Great Ming! Do you know how many vassal states our Great Ming has gained in the two or three months you've been at sea? More than a dozen.
Furthermore, nearly twenty countries established trade relations with us, keeping the officials in the imperial court quite busy. Especially the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites!!!
Zhu Yunwen also happily said:
"That's good, then my trip wasn't in vain."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and said:
"It's not just that the trip wasn't in vain, it's a great achievement, absolutely amazing."
Zhu Yunwen was already used to Zhu Yuanzhang's various praises. Afterwards, Zhu Yunwen asked Zhu Yuanzhang if there had been any major changes or events in the Ming Dynasty during his absence.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Yunwen a good talk, and basically nothing major happened; it was mostly good news.
As people's lives have improved, there are more and more entertainment venues in the area.
There were almost no other bad points. Hearing this, Zhu Yun was puzzled:
