Win the Ding 1617

ps: The number of subscriptions is a bit miserable, please help me!

The three children didn't think so. Under the escort of more than [-] male and female soldiers, they flew out of the house like a flock of happy birds.In the square at the entrance, someone has prepared chariots and horses and is waiting there.

"Look, is it riding a horse or taking a car?"

Xiao Huamei asked Fusongmaru and Shi Lang provocatively.

Shi Lang always had a smile on his face. When he went out, his father Shi Daxuan had told him that this time he was going out purely to accompany the prince to study, and he must not be in the limelight. He wanted to have a good relationship with Zheng Sen, and he had to be with the Li family. Lala friendship.

He looked at the more than thirty war horses with shiny fur, tall and long legs, and couldn't help but twitch his index finger. Although he lived at sea, he liked war horses quite a bit, but it was a pity that he had never seen the real ones. steed.It can only be said that he has barely mastered the art of riding.

As for Fusongmaru, his face turned a little pale. He was not afraid of riding a boat, but riding a horse was just fine. . . . . .

"My lord, why don't we go by car? You have been bumpy on the sea for several days, and it is not convenient for you to ride a horse." Zheng Sen's personal soldiers found an excuse for him very appropriately.

"No!" Zheng Sen saw that Li Huamei, who was on the side, had turned onto a peach blossom horse under the wait of two female soldiers. The snow-white horse's body was covered with speckled red hair, as gorgeous as a blooming peach blossom.Hua Mei, who got on her horse, looked around, with a look of anticipation and authority. [

"I'm the eldest son of the Zheng family, I can't lose to the daughter of the Li family! Pull me!"

The two soldiers cautiously selected a horse that looked quite docile among the horse herd, and helped Fusongmaru get on the horse.Over there, Shi Lang also selected a horse with the help of his two personal soldiers, and got on the horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, Shi Lang had the urge to lick his lips and howl, and to gallop the horse with whips.

"Let's talk about it first! Don't panic, Dad has long had a military order. Except for emergency military and disaster situations, no rushing in the city is allowed. Violators will be punished with sticks. Serious ones will be shown to the public, and those who are particularly vicious will be beheaded. Therefore, we still Slowly use horses instead of walking to the pier!"

Li Huamei said this just now.The corners of her brows and eyes could not help showing a look of complacency. In this round, she took the lead and won!

The soldiers carefully pulled the horses.A group of people headed towards the pier outside the city.Shi Lang is the older child among the three.Examine and observe the city in front of me with different eyes and angles from the two second generations of Huamei and Fukusongmaru.

It's not far from the gate of the mansion.It is to enter the former inner city, today's residential area and commercial area.Naturally, there are many shops and commercial prosperity, but.In Shi Lang's eyes, what makes him feel a little fresh is the scenery and people on the street.

There is a huge wooden barrel at the entrance of each shop and next to the booth. From the immediate view, it is full of garbage, dust and other debris, and some food residues.From time to time, the clerks at the door of the shop, after greeting the guests, picked up the broom to clean up the dust in front of their house, and dumped the garbage into the wooden bucket with a dustpan.From time to time, there were carts and horses passing by on the street. Behind the horses pulling the carts, there was a huge sack from which there was a smell, probably the dung of the horses.

From time to time on the street, people dressed in black with red under the upper body carried short black and red short sticks, leading several people in the same attire with long guns and short knives, and walked on the street with ropes hanging from their waists.Seeing this team approaching, they consciously stepped aside, urging pedestrians and stalls to be careful not to be hit by horses.

The crowd in the distance was like a small stone thrown into the water, splashing circles of ripples, gathering a small crowd, and the crowd immediately ran over like sharks smelling blood.

"what happened?!"

The person in charge of the team pushed aside the crowd with a short black and red stick in his hand, and squeezed in.

"My lord inspector, these guys are spitting everywhere. This old man stopped them, but they not only refused to listen to the persuasion, they even opened their mouths to curse and plan to hit them!" Someone in the crowd replied angrily.

The inspector narrowed his eyes and looked at the few men surrounded by the crowd in front of him, there were Japanese men wearing wooden clogs, with a Fujian accent, and two blond-haired and blue-eyed Frangji men. What combination? !

Who cares!Lao Tzu is here to enforce the law on behalf of the General's Mansion! [

"According to the health management regulations of the General's Mansion, you guys who spit in public places and insult others should be punished with eight sticks or eight whips! Say, choose for yourself, do you want to get sticks or whips?!"

Shi Lang looked familiar to those people, they should be members of the Zheng family's fleet.

Like the South China Army, the Zheng family's army is also of mixed ethnicity. If it weren't for the Shou Han crossing, Zheng Zhilong's army would even have Austronesian speakers.

Those guys didn't have time to resist, they were pinned to the ground as skillfully as eagles fighting rabbits, stripped off their shirts and prepared to execute.

"Your Highness Fukumatsumaru! Your Highness Fukumatsumaru!"

A few Japanese who were at a loss suddenly saw Zheng Sen and his party, and immediately looked like a drowning person seeing a floating log, "Please be merciful, Your Highness! Avoid such humiliation!"

"The general said! There are hundreds of millions of lives in your mouthful of sputum that can cause disease and death. Therefore, anyone who spits in public places will be punished with whips or military sticks! The great monks all agree. No one can intervene!" The inspector pointed his short stick at the noses of the Japanese and reprimanded them arrogantly.

"Execution!"

As soon as the words fell, the thick and long leather whip woven from raw cowhide waved with the sound of the wind, blooming bloody flowers on several bodies.A howl of ghosts and wolves resounded in the sky above the street, and with the muffled sound of the whip falling on the muscles, His Highness Fukumatsumaru's face could not help but turn red and turn white.

What his subordinates did was really unspeakable, and Zheng Sen didn't bother to intercede for them.Seeing them being beaten, Zheng Sen snorted through his nose, "Shameful thing! You can't stay on the boat well. What are you doing here?!"

"Your Highness, it's like this!" The leading Japanese reported to Zheng Sen, the young master, with a mournful face.

"Just now, General Li here sent people to the pier, and rewarded the brothers according to their leaders and ranks. Some of the brothers got 20 silver dollars, and some of them got eight dollars. I have heard that Nanzhong is rich in products. I thought about going to this shopping street to buy something for my family, but I didn’t want to, but something like this happened.”

"Go away!" Zheng Sen swung his whip.It is necessary to beat it.But Shi Lang at the side grabbed his sleeve.

"Young Marshal, this is a good thing!" Shi Lang reminded Zheng Sen in a low voice.

"Nani?!" In a panic, Zheng Sen spoke his mother tongue, the real mother's language.

"If they don't care about our people and let them run amok in the market, it means that General Li is still wary of us. Now, the people below can do this to us who broke the rules, which proves that Nanzhong The whole army. I did not regard my Zheng family army as an outsider. Since I am not an outsider, I would not be an enemy. What is this not a happy event?!"

After all, Shi Lang was born in a poor family. He has been in the storm for a long time, and his understanding of the human heart is far better than that of Fu Songwan, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.Fu Songmaru's explanation was unbelievable to him, but he felt it made sense, so he threw down his whip in resentment, and followed Li Huamei, who was watching the bustle, and continued on his way.

"Miss, those patrolling people just now are the servants of Huhua Mansion?"

Shi Lang urged his horse forward, a little behind Zheng Sen and Li Huamei.

"It's not the yamen servants. They used to be called inspectors. Later, Dad gave them some new jobs and changed their name to patrol police!"

The responsibilities of the patrol police are very complicated, from public security to traffic, from urban sanitation to hanging shop signs, almost every corner of urban management is involved. (Huh? City management?)

I see!Shi Lang and Zheng Sen suddenly realized, no wonder Hue is so clean and orderly, it turns out that this group of people are managing and maintaining it!

(China's urban management and municipal construction in the modern sense are generally recognized by historians. It started when Shanghai had a concession after an Opium War. It can be said that there was no such concept before. However, in Europe in this era, There is no such concept either. The streets of Paris are full of yellow and white things.)

In front of the shops on both sides of the street, there are signs and guises such as discount promotions, profit reduction and price reduction. Those farmers who have just sold autumn grain and have silver dollars and Tongbao in their pockets are holding grain payment certificates and industrial vouchers in their hands. Under their attentive explanation, they generously purchased all kinds of items for their families.

"Newly engraved prints, fresh calico! Fifteen cents per foot!"

"Newly baked porcelain jars for meat and canned fish! 150 Wen each! Buy one and get another porcelain jar!"

"Hey! A newly made pure steel hoe! No matter what kind of waste is born, it is guaranteed to produce ripe land within a month."

Zheng Sen and Shi Lang found that among the people coming in and out of various stores, their own people were very eye-catching inside. The reason for the eye-catching reason was that when they saw dazzling products, their first reaction was to take out and return them. Without warm rewards on his body, he frantically started buying those cheap products.

Those who like to eat throw down a silver dollar and carry a box of porcelain pots of meat, thinking happily that they don't have to eat those fish and shrimps at sea. If they have some fields at home, they should discuss with the staff how to put the plow stick in the cabin. If placed in a narrow space, separate the hoe from the wooden handle, as long as the hoe made of wrought iron or nine-turn steel does not have a wooden hoe pole.Those who like weapons and swords are negotiating with the boss on the iron and steel swords and swords, "If the two of you can accept this price, then the trumpet can give you an eight-petal hat and helmet made of nine-turn steel ! Guaranteed that the knife will not cut through, and the spear will not penetrate!"

On the shoulders of almost everyone, there is another commodity.

Refined fine cloth produced in Nanzhong.Different colors and patterns are like colorful flowers blooming on everyone's shoulders.

Seeing Zheng Sen's brows with hesitation, Shi Lang motioned for a soldier walking on the street to ask the soldiers and sailors of the Zheng family.Why buy so much cloth.

"Cheap!"

The soldiers and sailors who were questioned, whether they were Japanese, Folangji, or Zheng's fellow Fujianese, all answered in unison,

"A piece of dyed cloth sells for one silver dollar, and a piece of floral cloth is only two silver dollars according to different designs. Even if we are our own family members, we don't need to buy clothes and bedding. Later, we sell them in Nan'ao, Jinmen and Xiamen. Go out, at least double the profit!"

Seeing his family's subordinates buying all kinds of products of the South China Army so frantically, Zheng Sen didn't know what it was like, "Fortunately, they are allies with my family now!"

Shi Lang didn't think too much, he reached out and took off the money bag hanging from his waist, handed it to one of his own soldiers, and gestured to the sword shop not far away with his chin, the soldier understood and held up the money bag bag gone.

It was around noon, and the students in several nearby schools were dismissed from school.The skin color varies in shades.Students with different faces, carrying schoolbags in groups, lined up at various food stalls on the street to receive their lunch.Among these people, at a glance, there are Japanese people and Annan natives.There are Hmong people.There are Han people.There are Dai family members, and some young children of Frangji.

"Some of these people are my juniors and juniors." Li Huamei proudly greeted and greeted the acquaintances among the students.

"But. If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!" Zheng Sen was a little worried that these children of other races would steal the essence of my Chinese culture.

"Hey! My father said that the sage Confucius also said that there were religions. Moreover, these people grow on the land of our Nanzhong Army and are watered by the water of my Chinese civilization. The flowers that bloom must still be the flowers of Chinese civilization!" Huamei doesn't know much about civilization, flowers, etc. She only knows that these juniors learn to read and write and master calculations in the school, and the older ones learn a craft, or go to various schools for further studies. After a few years, they are all like the Han people, just like the soldiers from the aborigines in the Phoenix Battalion. After serving in the army for a few years, they can write letters home by themselves.

"Miss, we all live on the ocean, how about going to the pier by the sea to have a look?"

Seeing that Zheng Sen's expression became more and more ugly, Shi Lang tried to change the subject, so as not to let the South China Army show off their wealth here.Go to the pier and see my Zheng family's fleet!

"Alright! Let's go to the pier to see those big boats!" Hua Mei was a little tired of greeting everyone, seeing that the team was about to leave the city, it was time to gallop.

I don't want to, it's even more crowded near the pier.

Countless vehicles and people are blocking the place, so they can only walk in order, riding horses and galloping?Don't even think about it!

"What's the matter! When we went to meet the general just now, the place was still clear, how did it become so crowded in a blink of an eye? Even if the porters in the whole of Hue have arrived at the pier, it's nothing more than that?!"

After hearing Zheng Sen's complaints, Hua Mei didn't bother to explain, and turned around to call one of her female soldiers, "Aji! Take someone to see what's going on?!"

Several of Zheng Sen's Japanese samurai soldiers, with eyes full of mixed expressions of envy and wretchedness, looked at the thin-waisted and long-legged Tianzhu girl with a coquettish voice, and led several Miao and Han girls to ride horses and go.His gaze froze on those figures in well-fitting armor, long knives on their waists, and firecrackers on their backs, and they refused to look back for a long time. (Actually, I can’t pull out my eyes when I see them!)

"Even the Tachibana Sakai girls under Chikuzen Hakumei Ruiyuin back then may not have the elite group of women from Her Royal Highness the Princess!" A Japanese samurai compared the female husband of the Western Kingdom back then, and couldn't help lamenting in his heart.

The closer you are to the pier, the more vehicles there are. A large number of carts are full of bundled and huge packages, and they rush quickly amidst the slogans and songs of the Japanese porters.

Behind the cart, the Indian girl Aji blushed with excitement, "Miss! Miss! It's a cargo ship coming back from Telugu! There are four ships in total, and they have brought a few cotton, and two More than ten fine horses! All of them are of the same color!"

On the pier, there were four cargo ships as huge as hills. The porters entered the cargo ships along the gangway in an orderly manner like a group of worker ants. They moved huge cotton bales out of the cabin and placed them on the carts of their colleagues. The bamboo sticks are pinned to the baotou cloth on top of the head.

A row of nearly a hundred carts lined up on the pier, waiting for loading. The originally spacious pier was filled to the brim with the sudden increase in the flow of people and vehicles.

"This ship, how much cargo can this ship carry at one time?!"

There were grooms on the pier leading the horses for a walk, so that the elves, who had become a little tired after long-distance transportation, could be recovered. However, Zheng Sen and Shi Lang didn't care about this, their eyes were covered by the four big ships. Tightly attracted the past!

"How much cargo can be transported this time!" Although Zheng Sen belongs to the status of the second generation of rich officials, he is a son of a maritime merchant after all, and he is a very good one. The meaning, he still knows at a glance.

"This ship is specially built to go to the ocean. It goes north to Liudu, to Beijing, and goes south to Malaga to Telugu and Goa. The horses under your lap are the horses they transported from Goa. Breeding and breeding." A deacon of the general's mansion at the side proudly showed off his own achievements.

However, with such a big ship, maybe there are ten or twenty cannons on board, just to transport some cotton and horses?This is a bit of a hidden gem!

"Four boats made one trip and brought back nearly [-] tons of cotton, which is estimated to be able to guarantee the consumption of each weaving factory for a quarter. In these three months, we can make one or two more trips to convert Telugu this year. Bring back all the produce."

Xie Miao, the captain of the Guangzhou class, saw the general's eldest lady here, how could he give up this opportunity?Immediately come up and explain to the eldest lady the variety and significance of the goods this time.

Of course, seeing that there were strangers here, he ignored the value of those gems and other items on the ship. (To be continued..)
