Chapter 484
Dengzhou was born in Penglai, Shandong.Just this month, Sun Yuanhua, a Western expert, just took office in Dengzhou City as the governor of Denglai.

The Shandong site that the cross-traversing crowd had taken a fancy to before was naturally in Dengzhou.As for the reason, of course it is still human.

By the time of 1630, more than [-] people had gone from Liaodong to Shandong to beg for a living, most of them were soldiers and military family members after the collapse of Dongjiang Town.

Naturally, this huge human resource cannot be wasted.Otherwise, Sun Yuanhua would send Kong Youde to Liaodong to die when the ogre was trapped in the Daling River by the Tartars in the year after next.Then Kong Youde rebelled again halfway. In the end, these people either died in the tug-of-war, or voted for the Tartars, and even lost the lives of the locals in Dengzhou.

Therefore, Travelers planned to set up a branch in Dengzhou early in the morning.

The reason why no one has been sent here right now is that the imperial court has not yet completed the land use approval, and the other is that Tianjin has not yet vacated.So what Mei Fuxi saw on the ship's side today was just a standard Ming-style city, and there was no iconic boiler smoke column passing through the sites near the city.

After sailing from Tianjin, the fleet drew a straight line in Bohai Bay, passed Dengzhou, and traveled eastward along the coastline for more than 300 miles, and saw the easternmost landmark of Shandong Peninsula: Chengshanjiao.

After bypassing Chengshanjiao, the fleet did not follow the coastline to detour, but sailed directly on the Yellow Sea without reference, taking the shortest distance to Shanghai.

Thanks to gas engines, sonar, and navigation equipment, the fleet was able to maintain an average speed of 7 knots with a tailwind, and it was able to travel around the clock.

This advantage surpassed all ships of the seventeenth century.

The fleet can run an average of 300 kilometers per day, and Shanghai is 1400 kilometers away from Chengshanjiao. Therefore, after sailing on the Yellow Sea for 5 days, in the evening, Mei Fuxi, who was dazed, first saw the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then saw it. Shanghai Port with plumes of smoke.

Although Mei Fuxi has adapted to the bumps by riding a horse all year round, it was his first time to go to sea, so he still suffered from mild seasickness.

But the mood of the young people is still very excited.In the past few days, he has seen unprecedented scenes of heaven and earth, including distant islands and cities, a vast sea with no land in sight, tumbling waves, and huge and dense schools of fish
And this time, he saw the legendary Yangtze River and the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and truly felt the vastness of the mountains and rivers, the boundless world, and gained a lot of knowledge.

Before the night came, the fleet all docked at the berths in Shanghai Port.Early the next morning, Meifuxi and the others had the opportunity to disembark for a rest.

Today's Shanghai Port is already extremely prosperous.After Cao Dashuai bombarded Xu's house to frighten Xiaoxiao, it ushered in a wave of rapid development.

Unlike Tianjin, Shanghai Port has already installed a lot of large-scale port equipment such as gas cranes.Whenever people from other places come here, they are always surprised to see that the big iron arms emitting black smoke are hoisting tens of thousands of catties of goods up and down, and the scene is very shocking.

After docking, the soldiers and passengers were allowed to disembark, and the refugees could only move about on the deck.After Mei Fuxi and the other young people disembarked, they happily wandered around the port.First I saw the big crane, and then I went shopping in the business district.

Young Master Mei's family is well-off, and he has made a name for himself among the younger generation, so he has no shortage of followers wherever he goes.At this time, Young Master Mei was leading two of his peers, walking around among the bustling crowd, feeling the wide concrete road, and going shopping in the shops with beautiful glass windows beside the road from time to time.

After shopping around, Master Mei bought a lot of local products for his family, such as mahjong tiles and clean tissues.

I went to the consignment department of the port, asked for a pen and ink and wrote a letter to my family, and then paid and packed it together with the local products.Don't worry about the rest of the matter, he will take the package away when the fleet passes by.

After that, the young master took his servants to the restaurant to have a good meal, and ate several local Shanghai dishes, such as sweet and sour luncheon meat, anchovies in tomato sauce and crab meat buns.It tastes good, and the boys said it was good after eating it.

Take a walk to digest food after eating.Neat, beautiful, and weird, the big cement pier is completely beyond Ming people's imagination, and you will not get bored no matter how you walk.While taking a walk, the boys felt the strange place full of industrialization and geometric lines, and they were all amazed.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the electric bell on the customs building rang, Mei Fuxi had already returned to the deck-he received an order this morning to return to the team before 17:[-], and he was not allowed to go out of the concrete area of ​​the port.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the fleet was replenished and began to pull anchor again and set sail.Shanghai Port has complete facilities, including cranes and gas lamps, so even at night, after the ships are replenished, they can go out to sea under the guidance of a bright beam of light.

For the rest of the journey, the fleet sailed along the middle line of the strait. Except for other fleets passing by, they could see nothing but the vast sea.

It was not until nightfall four days later that Mei Fuxi was yelled up from her hammock that she knew Taijiang had arrived.

The young man who jumped out of the deck was stunned to see the Milky Way on the ground approaching.The bright river of lights, like a colorful dragon, shocked every outsider standing on the deck.

Due to the connection of wires, the lighting of Taijiang Wharf is not comparable to that of Shanghai Port.After the fleet docked at the port, the lights on the trestle were turned on, and it suddenly became as bright as day.

Mei Fuxi carried her luggage like this, lined up under the command of the officer on duty, raised her head, kept looking back at Denghe, and walked in line, and was finally driven into the barracks.

The excited young people looked at the colorful light in the distant sky through the glass windows, and their faces were full of longing—with those good eyesight, they swore that they saw the woman with her thighs exposed at the bow of the boat just now. The boys didn't sleep well that night.

Fortunately, people who travel through time have seen this kind of situation a lot.So the next day, after going through a series of health and quarantine procedures, the young people were told: three days off.

Before they had time to cheer, the bad news came: recite the travel instructions first, and whoever memorizes them by heart can go out of the camp.

So anxious people began to frantically recite the travel instructions written on the wall.This has suffered more than half of the illiterate people, so they had to ask someone to read it out.

Young Master Mei's skills are good right now, and his writing skills are not weak: he has also been taught cultural lessons by teachers since he was a child.The young master was standing under the wall at the moment, and it didn't take long for him to memorize these lacking "instructions".

At this moment, the young master was convinced of one thing: there really is a woman with her thighs out there!
Because the third item in the notice is "It is a local custom for female comrades to wear short clothes and shorts. It is strictly forbidden to comment on this, and it is strictly forbidden to molest women. Violators will go to jail."

Seeing this, Mei Fuxi was terrified, turned around and ran to the door and shouted: "Report to the monitor, I have memorized the regulations!"
