Zhou Chong finally agreed to Da Gama's final request. Although Portugal is rich, two million taels of silver is a considerable expense for them. If he disagrees, the Portuguese may not be able to raise the price.

The price code was finally allowed to make the Portuguese mermaid fight to the death. Now Zhou Chong is a critical period for developing the Ming Navy, so he doesn't want to start another war with the Portuguese.

A few days later, the subordinate officials of the Governor's Office discussed the details with the envoys of Dagama, and finally drafted a treaty. As a defeated country, Portugal compensated the Ming Dynasty for two million taels of silver and paid in two years.

After the first year of payment, the Ming Dynasty reopened the Strait of Malacca to Portugal and agreed to the Portuguese to trade in the Ming Dynasty. However, the Portuguese also had to abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If there was any violation, it would be dealt with severely and severely.

The above treaty is called the "Ming Dynasty-Port Shuangyu Port Treaty". On the day the treaty was officially signed, Zhou Chong and Da Gama represented the Ming Dynasty and Portugal respectively, and then signed the treaty written in Chinese and Portuguese.

, and also stamped his own Governor General's seal, which also marked the official entry into force of the first real treaty between the East and the West.

After the signing of the treaty, Da Gama made a request to Zhou Chong to pay homage to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Zhou Chong had reported this matter to Zhengde. In addition, there was a newly signed treaty, which also came to the capital to report together, but Zhengde was willing or not.

Seeing Da Gama and the others have to look at his mood, Zhou Chong can't guarantee this.

During the period of waiting for Zhengde to reply, Da Gama and the others seemed to be very interested in Shuangyu Port. Whenever they had the chance, they would take people around the port. They even proposed to go to Ningbo Prefecture for a walk.

However, in the end, Zhou Chong refused because he knew that Da Gama and the others were collecting information about the Ming Dynasty and let them see that Shuangyu Port was already Zhou Chong's limit. Before Zhengde agreed, they would not want to step on again

Enter the mainland.

More than a month later, Zhou Chong finally received news from Zhengde. During this period, he was very bored in the capital, so he decided to meet with Da Gama, a group of messengers from afar. Zhou Chong was not surprised by this, after all, Zhengde

Originally, he was a guy who was very curious about new things, so he quickly arranged for Da Gama and his friends to head to the capital with gifts. However, in order to allow Da Gama and his group to collect less information, Zhou Chong directly asked someone to use a boat handle.

They sent them to Tianjin Wei on the Bohai Sea and then went directly to the capital, believing that the majestic Beijing city would surprise them again.

After sending away the Portuguese mission, he arranged for the first batch of million taels of silver to be compensated by Portugal, and was preparing to release the Strait of Malacca to the Portuguese. Da Gama had already sent the treaty back to India before leaving, so as to

He was the power of the Indian Governor. It was very easy to raise a compensation of one million taels of silver, and they also wanted to restore the trade with the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

In the next period of time, Zhou Chong passed by very leisurely. The victims who moved to Taiwan and Malacca had been resettled, and the sweet potatoes had been planted. There was no need to worry about the food for the next year. He also signed a treaty with the Portuguese, and the Portuguese

With the strength of the Indian Ocean, it is impossible to tear up the treaty and conflict with the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time. So what he has to do now is to take advantage of this opportunity to develop the power of the Ming Navy, but this cannot be done in one or two days.

After explaining the general matter, he spent the rest of his time at home and having fun with his daughter Xia Xia.

"Big...Big..." Xia Xia, who was one year old, waved her two white little hands, opened her saliva-filled mouth and kept calling Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong taught her to call herself "Dad", but unfortunately the child's pronunciation was pronunciation.

I'm always not sure, I can only keep calling like this "big...big".

However, Zhou Chong didn't care much about this, as long as the child could call him. Moreover, the one-year-old Xia Xia was the cutest time. Her white and fat little face was delicate, especially her round big eyes.

Everyone has to praise him when they see him, which also makes Zhou Chong, who is his father, very proud. When he has nothing to do, he likes to hold Xia Xia and walk around the dock, and then listen to others' praises, and feel the same day.

It will become extremely pleasant.

Xia Xia is one year old, and her two fat white legs have some strength to learn to walk, so Zhou Chong carried Xia Xia to the grass in the back garden today, bent down and held Xia Xia's two small hands

, led her forward step by step. The little guy was also very interested in this novel movement. Every time he took, he would find a "giggle" laugh, which sounded like a little angel smiling.

In the pavilion next to the grass, Jin Xuan and Ling Yun were sitting on the lounge chair, stroking their slightly raised abdomen. While watching Zhou Chong and his daughter playing on the grass, they showed a happy smile.

"Sister, my husband said that he liked his daughter more than his son. I originally thought he was comforting us, but now seeing how his husband and Xia Xia get along, I believe that his husband was telling the truth at the beginning. He really liked his daughter more.

If the sister could give birth to a daughter for her husband, it would definitely make her husband happier!" Jin Xuan looked at Zhou Chong and his daughter on the grass for a while, and suddenly turned her head and looked at Ling Yun and smiled.

"Haha, my sister said it's right. I think my husband really likes his daughter. It would be nice if I could give birth to another daughter for my husband. But I heard from others that a woman giving birth is like a fruit tree blooming, a fruit tree

What fruits will be born in one year and what fruits will be born in the next year? My sister has given birth to Xia Xia before, and she must have a clear idea in her heart. This is the first time I have given birth to a baby in my poor sister, who knows what will be born?

Fruit?" Xie Lingyun sighed faintly after saying that, and a look of pity appeared on her face.

"Hehe~, people are different from fruits. Moreover, some time ago, my aunt had already gone to the most effective Dade Temple in Ningbo Prefecture to ask for a sign. Three times they all had to be signed by men!" Jin Xuan also heard Ling Yun's words.

He was not angry at all, but still smiled and even took out the matter of Aunt Wang's preference for him to increase his bargaining chips.

Zhou Chong also regretted this period, because after Jinxuan and Lingyun got pregnant almost at the same time, although the two women were harmonious on the surface, they would fight each other constantly as soon as they met. Even if they knew it, they all knew

Zhou Chong liked his daughter more, but he still fought to have a husband's son. After all, no matter how good his daughter is, he will still get married in the future. Only the son can inherit the family business, so both of them are holding back their energy.

Zhou Chong was lazy to care about the two women in the pavilion, and none of the pregnant women were easy to get along with. Moreover, in his opinion, Jinxuan and Lingyun were just idle and had nothing to do, so they had fun for themselves.

Nowadays, bickering has almost become their best entertainment method, and it will calm down after the child is born.

Zhou Chong was having fun with his daughter, and the laughter quickly attracted Meng Wan and Jianer. They were almost inseparable, especially after Meng Wan married, they stayed together all day long, which made Zhou Chong feel right.

Jianer had an objection. In addition, Duoer and Bai Junwan's daughter Qingqing also ran to the back garden. They are both six years old now, so Zhou Chong asked them for the best teacher to educate them, and they don't have time to come out to play.

Their husband fell ill for two days, and then he only took a few days off.

Originally, Zhou Chong and Xia Xia were already enough to make trouble. Now, with Jianer and Meng Wan, Duoer and Qingqing, two little girls who were almost crazy, the sound of pens in the entire back garden was filled with noise.

Jinxuan and Lingyun were so quarreled that they had no choice but to be supported by the maid to go to their yard to rest.

Finally, everyone was tired of playing. Zhou Chong lay on the grass and let Xia Xia sit on his chest. As a result, the little girl kept pulling his nose persistently. Meng Wan and Jianer lay quietly beside him.

Er and Qingqing were full of energy and still had a lot of fighting. I don’t know where they got their energy?

"Brother, Xia Xia is so cute. Can you let her sleep with me at night?" Duo'er opened her big eyes and looked at Xia Xia with joy. She and Qingqing finally calmed down, and now they parted

Lie on both sides of Zhou Chong's body, but now they are starting to make up Xia Xia. In their opinion, Xia Xia, who can laugh and move, is much cuteer than those dolls.

"No, you are too young and can't even take care of yourself. How can you take care of Xia Xia? Moreover, Xia Xia not only needs to eat milk at night, but also wet the bed. If you really sleep with you, then you and Qingqing will be waiting to suffer.

Right!" Zhou Chong rejected Duoer's request in one go. He was worried about handing over his treasure to these two little girls.

"Hmph, I know my brother is reluctant to let him go!" Duoer saw through his brother's inner thoughts at a glance, and snorted coldly. Then she looked at her sister bracelet beside her, and then smiled and leaned over and said, "Sister,

When you get married in the future, would you give me a child as cute as Xia Xia?"

Duoer's words made Zhou Chong and Meng Wan laugh out loud, but Cheer was so angry that she patted Duoer's little head and said, "The stinky girl is not very old, she is very scheming. If you want a child, hurry up.

When you grow up, then ask your brother to find a good family to marry you, and you will give birth to yourself!"

"I'm not giving birth. My sister-in-law hurts when she gave birth to Xia Xia. I heard my sister-in-law crying in pain outside." Duo'er said this and turned her big eyes a few times, and when she saw Qingqing opposite her suddenly had a look of her eyes.

Liang begged, "Qingqing, can you give me a child when you grow up in the future? I will exchange it for you with the big bear doll my brother gave me."

Qingqing had long wanted Duoer's bear doll. Now that she heard Duoer's words, she immediately said without hesitation: "Okay, keep your word, give me the doll now, and I will give it to you if I have a child in the future

one!"

"Hahahaha~" Hearing the innocent words of Duoer and Qingqing, Zhou Chong, Jianer, Meng Wan and the other two couldn't help laughing again, but before Zhou Chong finished laughing, they suddenly felt their chests warm up.

When he looked down, he found that Xia Xia had peed all over him. This made him jump up immediately and took off his coat in a hurry, which made Jianer and Meng Wan rolling around with laughter. (I haven't finished waiting.
