Just like the characters in Peking Opera, the young lord of the country wears a heavy gold crown on his head, his face is smeared with fragrant sandalwood powder, and colorful flowers hang down from the crown, and the big pearl on the gold crown is estimated to weigh three catties.

There were strings of gold bracelets on his arms and ankles, rings with cat's eye gems on his ten fingers, his palms and soles dyed red, and something that looked like a golden sword and a scepter in one hand.

Even if Xu Hao is not greedy for money, he also had the idea of rushing over to rob, saying that Southeast Asia is indeed very rich, but it is a pity that it has been colonized for so long in history, and the treasures have been robbed.

Xu Hao was thinking wildly, while riding on a horse and proudly facing the young lord riding on the elephant, he nodded slightly, and the prime minister said a bunch of words that he didn't understand, and they were translated by the Han officials sentence by sentence.

Xu Hao was not ordered to send an envoy, and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette came forward to deal with it, and after a grand ceremony, the lord of the country looked at Xu Hao curiously and invited him to ride on the elephant, but Xu Hao refused.

Later, a group of people were welcomed into the national palace in the city, which is a style between the Central Plains culture and the Indian culture, the palace is built with yellow pillars, the murals are all about Buddhism, the cloister is restored, and porcelain and other objects from the Central Plains are seen from time to time.

Some palaces are like an elephant, and there are some precious pure gold pagodas inside, inlaid with all kinds of jade gemstones, except for Xu Hao who is only allowed to enter to visit, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter, and the precautions are very strict.

Inside the main hall is also a golden pagoda as high as nine floors, on which the young lord sleeps at night, and the official said that there is a hydra spirit in the tower, if the snake spirit is gone. Then the death of the lord of the country is at an end.

Xu Hao was amazed by these rare treasures, and if he didn't covet them, it was fake, and he heard the officials explain that this pagoda was taken wherever the king went. Even if you don't stay overnight, it will cause disaster, and this is probably the same reason as being ordained by heaven, showing that the king is a god who deters goblins.

The royal family is so rich, although the mansions of the princes and nobles are far inferior to the national palace, they also occupy a vast area, but it can be seen that the Nanyang countries, like the Korean Wa Kingdom, are far inferior to China. The people are too poor.

Most of the palaces of the ministers of the state are stone houses, except for the exclusive temple and the main house where they sleep, which can be covered with tiles, and the others are covered with grass. As the hierarchy decreases in turn, as for the people's houses, they are all covered with grass, and the tiles dare not go to the house, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large.

The people of Zhenla are very fond of flower cloth and decorating themselves with flower petals. Like the Cham people, they also like to apply thick spices all over their bodies. You can smell a strange smell from afar.

Chinese girls like to use the juice of impatiens to smear their nails since ancient times, and the Zhenla people directly apply various colors to their hands and feet, which is both beautiful and mosquito-repellent effect, except for the king, women are allowed to dye colors, and men are absolutely not allowed.

Xu Hao was too lazy to deal with a stupid child, leaving the officials to come out with his own soldiers, the city was full of stone towers, and there was a pair of golden lions outside the palace. Some stone towers enshrine the eight bodies of the Golden Buddha, and it seems that all the wealth is used to worship the gods.

Copper elephants, copper bulls, copper horses, etc. can be seen everywhere. Xu Hao also saw a reclining bronze Buddha in a certain tower, the navel flowed out of the spring, and there was a square tower decorated with gold in the north of the city, which was said to be used to worship heaven and earth.

In this situation, Xu Hao finally understood the Western colonizers, who can not be tempted by the treasures at their fingertips? With 10,000 musketeers in Cam Ranh Bay, it can definitely sweep the entire peninsula, which is still not a rich Chenla, and Thailand and India are undoubtedly dozens of times richer than here.

Directly sending troops to rob and eat is inevitably too ugly, Xu Hao wondered if he was taking advantage of the war between the two countries to make a windfall? Rather than being snatched away by European villains in the future, it is better to cheapen our Ming Dynasty villains.

Along the way, I met a Confucian with a white line around his neck from time to time, and when I saw Xu Hao, I bowed deeply from afar, and I also said a poem. There are more monks wearing yellow cloth robes, and nuns with red cloths on their heads can be seen, but the number is far less than that of monks.

Although Chenla was influenced by Bharaism, Buddhism was untouchable, Taoism also occupied a place, while Champa embraced Hinduism in its entirety, while Annam was a Confucian world, which may be why the war between the three kingdoms continued.

The brothers can be described as a feast for the eyes, most of the palace maids in the palace are as white as jade, this is because they don't have to bask in the sun since they were young, but unfortunately their bodies are shorter than those in the south, but fortunately, the body proportion is very good, and the beauties are beautiful everywhere, regardless of nationality and race.

And through the strip of cloth, you can see the whole breast, even the king's wife, don't look at the king's age, there are five wives, one person in the main room, four people in all directions, three or five thousand concubines, and no eunuchs.

In place of the eunuchs were 2,000 female servants with husbands, and the court maids liked to wear jewelry from China, and ordinary women did not wear hairpins to comb their hair, but they all had gold bracelets on their arms and various gold rings on their hands.

A group of women in the canal bathed unscrupulously, and the men didn't care at all when they saw it, and they were generous for you to appreciate, Xu Haoxin said badly, and took a group of wolves to a place where people and money were gained, didn't he force the brothers to break the law?

If you don't want to find a way, something evil will definitely happen tonight, not only the soldiers' eyes have already lit up, but even the captain's own soldiers seem to be ready to move, Xu Hao frowned and called over for a translator, muttering for a long time, showing a smile.

Gathering three hundred people, Xu Hao said: "I know what you are all thinking, I can warn you not to attack the women in the palace." ”

A shrewd lieutenant said loudly: "Back to the governor, let's inquire clearly, in the past, when the Han people came here, they must first accept a woman as a concubine, and then let the concubine set up a stall in the market to sell goods. ”

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were from Fujian and Guangdong, and they were the most good at going to sea to do business, and some people laughed and said: "The five-color cloth here is the rarest, followed by the tin ware of Zhenzhou, the lacquer plate of Wenzhou, the celadon ware of Quanzhou, as well as mercury, vermilion silver, paper tie, sulfur, sandalwood, angelica, musk, linen, yellow grass, iron pot, copper plate, tung oil, castor, wooden comb, needlework, etc. are all good things. ”

Xu Hao Zhengse said: "Brothers go to sea with me, and they will not stop everyone from getting rich." However, firstly, it is a big crime to leave the barracks without permission, and secondly, there is a local custom of taking courage since ancient times, and the royal family has to ask for tens of thousands of dollars every year. Meet the Nightkin at night. Wrap a rope around his head and take it away with a knife, I don't want you to be poisoned in a mess. ”

The lieutenant laughed and said: "The governor has come to deceive people again, the custom of taking gall has long been abolished, and it is rumored that the gall of the Tang people has been taken, and as a result, all the gall is rotten and unusable, and no Han people have suffered since then." ”

Xu Hao said speechlessly: "You bastards. During training, they complained bitterly, and this kind of rooster and dog theft were more positive than one another. ”

Everyone laughed, and the captain said with a smile: "I have already inquired about it these days." The weather is hot, and the women in the city have to go to the river outside the city to bathe every day, and thousands of people gather at every turn. Occasionally hook up in the water and get into trouble. ”

Xu Hao waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." If this kind of thing is not careful, it will cause the two countries to fight each other, and we will go back in a few days, and we will not have time to let you take concubines to trade. However, there is a peculiar local custom that the body of a young girl should be offered to the monk called a carpet, and it is now April. ”

The captain said in amazement: "There is such a good thing, and there are benefits to taking advantage of it?" ”

Xu Hao nodded and said: "There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and I didn't expect there to be such customs." Every year, the adopted daughter of the country is the home of the carpet and declares to the government first. The government gave a candle and lit it at night. It means that there is a girl in the family who has just grown up. Parents must choose a monk or a family to come home, in order to compare, some rich families often spend two or three hundred taels of silver, at least one hundred and eighty taels, ask for a monk to come to the house to comb their daughters, a monk can only have a daughter every year. ”

The big guy immediately became surging and shouted, "Is there such a good thing? What kind of soldier is that, they all become monks. ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Otherwise, the monk can only be happy once a year, and he has to abide by the rules and precepts on weekdays." I mean that after the virginity is broken, the parents no longer sleep with their daughters, let her live outside the house and do whatever she wants, although there is a local gift of money, but the rules are very simple, and there are many people who rape first and then marry, and their customs are neither ashamed nor strange. Therefore, you bastards avoid candle-lit houses tonight, and the people in the photo go in to sleep, it is best to be consensual, if you are satisfied, you can be accepted as a concubine, and if you are not satisfied, you can leave some jewelry as a resource to entangle your head, and it is strictly forbidden to hurt people's lives. ”

"Yes!" More than 300 cattle immediately happily agreed.

The continuous war has made it inevitable that there are more women and fewer men in Zhenla, and some are worried about not being able to marry their daughters, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to the American GIs of later generations, and they are richer than the middle families casually, and they can marry their daughters to the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, who is not happy?

Of course, they are not happy not to marry, local women like to pursue sexual affairs, and if they do not get along with their husbands for three days, they will be very dissatisfied, and few are willing to keep chastity, and the concept is countless times more open than that of the Central Plains, and it is not much different from the Wa Kingdom.

Let these guys out, only bad things such as destroying people's childhood sweethearts will happen, and being a soldier and marrying a wife is undoubtedly a violation of military regulations, Xu Hao turned a blind eye to this, in order to colonize overseas for a long time, the physical needs of soldiers must be met, and they are also welcome to move their families overseas.

While conniving at his subordinates in the city, while exchanging goods for a large number of grains and spices, Xu Hao smiled and accepted the ten beauties offered by the lord of the country, kept them to go back to reward his subordinates, and returned to the barracks three days later with various supplies and three hundred girls proudly.

This matter immediately caused a sensation, Xu Hao simply set up a marriage agency, specializing in hiring Vietnamese and Cambodian daughters-in-law for the majority of soldiers, anyway, this is the era of three wives and four concubines, as for how to explain to his wife when he returns to China, it doesn't matter. In any case, it is better than allowing prostitution to come, although many kilns have been spawned outside the barracks almost overnight.

Mu Yi said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of being impeached by the DPRK?" It is a great sin to sit back and watch soldiers settle overseas. ”

Xu Hao said casually: "Do you say that we are tired of living all these years? No matter what you do, worry about this and fear that. Needless to say, let it develop, but see how the DPRK and China will react, and it is a big deal to withdraw the soldiers to the country. ”

Mu Hui faintly heard the words in the words, and couldn't help but feel tempted in his heart: "Could it be that you have a plan to be self-reliant?" ”

Xu Hao immediately shook his head and said, "No, but this world is so big, it's good to house our children and grandchildren, what do you say?" ”

"Huh?" Mu Hui was stunned for a moment, and then his heart pounded, to say that he has no intention of becoming a king overseas is false, an ambitious person will have this idea, but if he wants to do it, the rich and powerful will not consider settling overseas at all.

Mu Hui is one of the few henchmen who knows that Xu Hao wants to emigrate overseas, as far as he knows, there are many borderless lands comparable to the Central Plains overseas, since the imperial court has no intention of expanding the territory, so why can't he let his other sons occupy it?

Mu Hui asked softly, "Is it really feasible?" ”

"Why not." Xu Hao casually guided North America, "This place is thousands of miles away from Middle Earth, and it is impossible for the imperial court to directly manage it except for the appointment, so it is a matter of time before we become the king, and if we don't take it, others will occupy it, and it is not advisable to give up." In addition, we will have to deal with the invasion from Europe in the future, which is a battle between different races and civilizations, and we don't know what the outcome will be in the future. ”

Mu Hui smiled and said: "You are here to worry about the sky again, your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and you have left them such a big family business, and it is fate to not be able to keep it, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"That's right." Xu Hao smiled and said with interest: "Now Europe is still in the obscurantist Middle Ages, the Crusaders have been defeated, Islam has risen strongly, Portugal is actively sailing and exploring in order to survive, the Black Death is rampant on the continent, and Britain and France are in the Hundred Years War.
