This great power effect is reflected in the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty, even after several wars, even if the countryside was barren and the mountains and rivers were broken, but the diligence of the Chinese descendants made the empire recover in the shortest possible time.

As long as the imperial court leads the way right, the ocean giant ship of the Ming Dynasty will definitely make the world tremble!

The crisis in the treasury was also alleviated by the failure of the Dutch blockade, and the merchant ships along the coast could take a long detour to the port of Francois in the South Seas to trade, although the danger factor was still very high, but Liu Honggradually assured that the good life of the Dutch country would not last long.

After returning from Tianjin Bao Shipyard, Liu Hongjian spent the next two days at home preparing equipment for the long trip.

Dad is old and doesn't plan to go out to toss, Liu Hongjian added three wives and four babies for a total of eight people, but there are more than 20 carriages on the trip.

The middle four of them were specially made by Liu Hong's ordnance, much wider than ordinary carriages, and the car was equipped with folding beds, folding chairs and folding tables, and all of them were sewn from leather, and the lining was also fine satin.

At night, you can pull the folding beds on both sides of the car and put on the mattress a spacious double bed to complete, which can sleep at least three people.

In addition to the four luxury coupes, the remaining more than a dozen cars put luggage, food, use, and gifts for the fourth and fifth wives.

In fact, these things can be completely loaded into Liu Hongji's ring, but it is a bit too unbelievable for the three wives.

In addition to his own family of eight people, Liu Hongjian also agreed to bring a bull mallet, his mother-in-law Ma Xiulan and eldest son Niu Ren, in addition to the 1,000-person personal guard battalion.

The mainland of the Ming Dynasty is relatively much more peaceful, and a thousand guards are enough to protect his wife and children.

After pondering and meditating at home for a long time, and finally confirming that the equipment was ready, Liu Hongjian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The day before departure, the bored Liu Hongjian had just returned from running back from the mountain with the three-year-old fat tiger when he heard the chatter in his yard.

He suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

"Sister, sister, just tell him if it's okay, Zhaoren also wants to go out to play, Zhaoren promises not to be naughty!"

"Sister, Qiqige is also going, our two sisters are of the same heart, no, it is the three of us, we have to go!"

"Sister sister, you are going to win Zhaoren, the palace is too stuffy."

……

Liu Hong gradually felt a headache, and cursed Zhu Cihong's big mouth in the palace.

"Ahem, cough, ahem—" Liu Hong gradually coughed with a cold face and entered the house.

"Liu Hongji, you're finally back, Zhaoren wants to go out with his sister, you won't refuse, right?" Zhaoren was dressed in a cyan coat, and a pair of big bright eyes under his bangs stared at Liu Hong.

"I ......" Liu Hongjian was about to say that I didn't agree, but was directly interrupted by Sun Xiuxiu.

"Husband, why don't you bring two little highnesses, the Empress Dowager Zhou and the emperor have already sent a letter just now, and the Empress Dowager Zhou said that as long as you agree, it's okay.

His Royal Highness hasn't been out of the palace much since he was a child, so he should go out to see the outside world, right? Sun Xiuxiu handed Liu Hongjian a towel and said gently.

"You ......" Liu Hong gradually wanted to say to his eldest wife that you don't know how much this girl can make trouble, don't regret it when the time comes, but he was interrupted by his second wife again.

"Yes, master, Aotian and Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu are still young, and the two princesses can just play with them together!" Yang Xue also persuaded that she hadn't been out for several years, so she naturally felt that there were too many people.

"Eun! Sister Cher is right! Zhaoren will definitely be able to take Xiao Aotian out to play! As soon as Zhaoren heard that Yang Xue didn't treat her as a child, his eyes immediately bent into crescent moons.

She hates it most when others say that she is a little doll, which makes her feel that she is getting farther and farther away from Liu Hongji.

"What I said to me, you can do it yourself! I went to take a bath for my husband. Liu Hong was gradually speechless, and simply ran away after two sounds.

He knew that his wives had decided to bring the two little princesses, and since they were willing, they would take them, anyway, in addition to going out to see the little four and five, this time was just to travel to make the wives happy.

It's just that he originally wanted Zhaoren to experience more experiences by himself, so as to forget the unrealistic fantasies, but Zhu Cihong didn't cooperate at all, this is the trend to get closer and closer.

Early the next morning, the Qinwang tour group set off from Xishan.

More than 20 taels of carriages, flanked by a 1,000-person guard battalion, the soldiers of the guard battalion are almost fully armed, with bolt-action rifles hanging on their backs, a short blade inserted in the left leg holding the horse's belly, a short gun in the right calf, and a Ming standard war knife on the waist.

At the same time, the two wagons at the rear of the team also carried fifteen small steel cannons for unpreparedness.

The grenade thing Liu Hong gradually did not distribute, although the current grenade process is considered mature, but everything is hung out like a war, he is worried that his wife and children will be scared.

The Qin King tour group set foot on the asphalt official road from the capital, and the speed of the road to the south was not slow at all, reaching Hejian Mansion in only three days, and Jinan Mansion in Shandong Province in four days.

Liu Honggradually took his wife and children to a shopping carnival in Jinan City, and a day of shopping and carnival was regarded as repair, and continued south from Jinan Mansion to Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Fengyang to Yangzhou.

The prefect of Yangzhou learned that His Royal Highness King Qin had traveled locally, and began to plan security as early as a few days ago, not to mention the weight of a prince, that is, Liu Hongji's own ability was enough for the Yangzhou prefect to serve Liu Hongjian as a grandfather.

Liu Hong gradually declined the dinner party of the Yangzhou prefect, in fact, he did not go to live in any official's house along the way, he already hated entertainment, he already had the ability not to accept any entertainment, not to mention that the focus this time was originally to accompany his wife.

At this time, there was no Yangtze River, the ancients called the Yangtze River a big river, and the east of the big river went to the waves to exhaust the Yangtze River.

It was the first time for Sun Xiuxiu and the three daughters to see such a wide river, the cool breeze was gusting, and looking at the river where there was no edge at a glance, everyone's mood was extremely relaxed and comfortable.

Liu Hong gradually requisitioned several large boats docked in Zaiyangzhou, packed all the escorts, including horse-drawn carriages and 1,000 people, into ships, and boarded a medium-sized passenger ship for wealthy people with his family.

That night, the group arrived in Nanjing, two years after a two-year absence of Nanjing, the prosperity of the city is still the same, although under the suggestion of Liu Hongji, the imperial court canceled the division of Nanjing to accompany the capital, but Nanjing City is still the most prosperous metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Honggradually took them to visit the night scene of Nanjing, although Nanjing at this time did not have the dazzling incandescent lamp, but the candlelight was bright everywhere, and the streets were full of people, which was much more harmonious than the man-made landscape of later generations.

Liu Hongjian rejected the suggestion of the Nanjing prefect Qingjie, he brought his wife and children to see the real night scene, and wanted the original ecological philistine town.

Rao is so Chang Yu still ordered the best thirty soldiers in the guard battalion, disguised to keep an eye on Liu Hongjian within fifty steps.

By the way, the prefect of Nanjing also couldn't sleep well all night, so he took the whole family to kowtow in the Chenghuang Temple, and prayed that Liu Hongjian would be safe and leave his jurisdiction as soon as possible.

There is no way, if the prince of the dynasty has a problem in his jurisdiction, whether it is his sin or not, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die, not to mention that this person is still Liu Hongji, who is hot in the court.

If something really goes wrong, even if the court is willing to let him go, it is estimated that the people of Yangzhou will not let him go, Liu Hongjian is really loved and admired by the people everywhere.

The three girls and the six or seven dolls are the first time to see the bustling night scene in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Xue and the other three girls do not go out of the door on weekdays, but once they start shopping, they really exert their terrifying combat power.

From the beginning of the day until it was dark, it was not counted until there were no people on the street.

At that time, Liu Hongjian and his personal guard battalion commander Chang Yu and Tianzi No. 1 bodyguard Niu Dabang mallet were full of various cartons, wooden boxes, snacks, and candy......

Zhaoren and Qiqige are also two shopaholics, as long as they see something beautiful or interesting, they will always turn their heads to Liu Hong and gradually say: 'Buy it!' ’

OMG, when Liu Hongji's legs couldn't hold on, the second night tour finally ended.

In fact, the family spent more than 100 taels of silver on so many things after shopping all night, not because there were no valuable things in the Nanjing Night Market.

It's because everything that is precious and valuable is something they are accustomed to, whether it is Liu Hongji's prince's mansion or the palace where Zhaoren lives, pearl jade has always been measured by car.

But if Liu Hong gradually wants it, he can tell Xiao Zhu that if there is something missing at home, Xiao Zhu can immediately ask the eunuchs to send a few big cars, and he will ask if he is not enough to pull it again.

On the contrary, some small objects that are not common in the capital are very pleasing to them.

After three days in Nanjing, the Qin King tour group embarked on the journey again on July 18, and because they were tired of the carriage, Liu Hongjian had been traveling south by boat for the next few days.

Arrive in Suzhou along the Grand Canal, have a sumptuous whole fish feast by Taihu Lake, and then follow the river to Shanghai County.

Shanghai had become extremely prosperous as one of the treaty ports of the Ming Dynasty, and after a brief meeting with Huang Daozhou of the General Taxation Department, the group began to ride in a horse-drawn carriage to continue south.

After three days of Hangzhou, Jinhua and Jianning, we finally arrived in Quanzhou, and Quanzhou is the focus of this trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Do you see the huge mansion in front of you? That's our home. Liu Hong gradually pointed to a mansion in front of him.
