On March [-]th of the first year of Taishun, Zhuge Fengye’s escort and notification ship [Baisha Island] sailed after completing the task of guarding the North Strait of Lingyamen, the task of deterring the natives on the South Island of Lingyamen, and the task of purchasing goods from the mud. Enter Cam Ranh Bay.Here, Zhuge Fengye will complete his second mission to the south, and the transport fleet led by Liu Xiang will stop for a while and then return north.

As for how Zhuge Fengye returns to the country, that is also simple. First, there are far more domestic fleets traveling to and from Jinlan than in Xiboni. Presumably those ship owners are happy to serve an imperial envoy; The fleet stationed there will only need to dispatch a notification ship when the time comes.

"Your servant is waiting to welcome the envoy!" When Zhuge Fengye got off the ship, he learned from the [Yanji], which had entered the port earlier, that the key figures of the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate who had arrived from Wuchang envoys were already waiting at the port. "The ministers respectfully invite the king to go to Jinan!"

"Greetings, Wang Jia!" Zhuge Fengye responded solemnly, and then hurriedly put on a smile. "My lords, please hurry up." Jin Lan is the only one of Zheng Fan's four overseas colonies, the Metropolitan Protectorate, and both the Metropolitan Protector and the Doctor of the Pedestrian Department of the Tongzheng Yuan are fourth-rank servants. Naturally, Zhuge Fengye dare not neglect this man who can be with him A member of the party who resists courtesy. 【Ye*】【*】"Although the lower officials are conveying the king's orders, they are definitely not imperial envoys. Lord Ye, brother Ye, you are too polite."

"How does this happen?" Ye Yongkang, the guardian of Jinlan Dadu, hurriedly humbled. "Since your lord has conveyed the king's order, you are an imperial envoy. You should, you should." The two stood on the pier chatting and laughing for a while, and Ye Yongkang suddenly seemed to remember something. "Brother Zhuge, look at me, I'm confused. It's really rude for you to stand under the poisonous sun in such a hot day." Ye Yongkang then ordered. "Come here, send Lord Zhuge to rest." After finishing speaking, Ye Yongkang turned around and said to Zhuge. "Brother Zhuge, my younger brother has set up a reception banquet tonight, please don't shirk it.

After eating Jiefeng wine, it will be the next day in a blink of an eye. However, because this will needs to be announced in public, Zhuge Fengye still needs to wait for the arrival of several domestic and foreign vassals who are far away. Accompanied by the dispatched staff, visit the Cam Ranh market.

Zhuge Maple Leaf declined the proposal to take a light open carriage that imitated the Western style, and walked to the commercial port of the port area on foot.Although the traffic in the commercial port was not too much at this time, Zhuge Fengye could still see some clues at a glance.

"Master Zhuang, the colors here are quite distinct."

"That's it." The surnamed Zhuang responded triumphantly. From his mouth, Zhuge Fengye learned that after more than ten years of development and construction by Zheng Fan, Jinlan has surpassed Tuodang Port in Guangnan and become second only to Hoi An and Siam in Guangnan. The fourth largest commercial port in the Indochina Peninsula is Ayutthaya Port in Luoyang and Li Ni Port in Malay. "Our Jinlan has four faces, white, red, black and brown."

Zhuge Fengye nodded clearly. The so-called white face naturally refers to the face of a foreigner from China. Although it is also darkened by the sea breeze, but as long as it stops for a few days, this face will naturally be fairer than those of the dark natives. many.

As for the red face, it refers to the original sailor merchants of Beiju Luzhou. Perhaps these Beiju Luzhou people who call themselves British, French, and Danish will not agree with the Chinese point of view, but in the aesthetic vision of Orientals, these The dirty Thai-Western people's cheeks flushed by the sun can't be called fair at all.

In fact, being called a red race by the Jinlan people did not affect the arrival of these Beiju Luzhou people.As the reputation of the port rose, merchant ships from various countries in Thailand and the West, who were unable to enter the Indochina Peninsula because of the Dutch monopoly of Beihe’s foreign trade, Portugal’s monopoly of Guangnan’s foreign trade, and Siam’s exclusion of French merchants, naturally regarded Cam Ranh Port as a bridgehead to enter the closed market. A stepping stone, so it's nothing to be said a few words for shiny gold and silver coins. ( ·~ )

Although the faces of the natives were dark, they were definitely not as dark as the Kunlun slaves from Xihe Niuzhou, so they could only be called brown faces.

And those Western Kunlun slaves who were placed here by Zheng Kezang still performed the military service and police duties of the Dadu Protectorate, so they often appeared in and out of the commercial port—as part of the early slaves and the slave army, because they replaced Ming Zheng shed blood, so the Western Kunlun slaves who regained their freedom are not good farmers because their civilization is still in the hunting stage. They can only grow random things to eat. If it goes on, in the end, it can only get corresponding rewards from the original Dudu Mansion and now the Dadu Hufu by selling force again.

"Four faces, that's apt." While talking, the two turned into the exchange. The exchange is a major feature of Mingzheng's foreign trade, and it is a major means of Mingzheng's official regulation of export goods. All ports of trade must establish exchanges supervised by the customs office, and Jinlan is no exception. "The goods are dazzling."

Pepper, ivory, mercury, gold, sumac, betel nut, swallow's nest, pear, shark's fin, rhino horn, deer tendon, rock sugar, white sugar, gemstone, indigo, lead, cardamom, sea cucumber, mahogany, shochu, five-color yarn Satin, cotton satin, cloth, medicinal herbs, paper, thread, sesame oil, paper materials of various colors, gold and silver threads, silk threads of various colors, paints of various colors, clothes of various colors, shoes, socks, pens and inks, needles, tables and chairs of various colors, various yarns There are dozens of commodities such as various tin and copper, various porcelain, pottery, etc., and there are even lotus leaves, tangerines, oranges, pears, dates, persimmon cakes, rice silk, gray noodles, rice binshi, salty olives, Zhuge Fengye nodded repeatedly on the wall of food quotation boards such as head dish, steamed oil, ginger, soy sauce, soy bean curd, lily needle, tea, fungus and so on.

"It's not simple, it may not be less than the brands I saw in Guangzhou." Zhuge Fengye turned his head and found that Zhuang was engaged in a shadow, Zhuge Fengye hurriedly stopped him. "Brother Zhuang, where are you going?"

"Brother Zhuge, don't be offended," because to conceal Zhuge Fengye's identity, the two agreed to call each other brothers and brothers when they were outside, so at this moment Zhuang Zong called this Mr. Langzhong. "Little brother, I just went to ask you about the price."

"Ask the price for me?" Zhuge Fengye was a little puzzled. "What does this mean?"

Zhuge Fengye said something that made Zhuge Fengye dumbfounded: "The old saying is good, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, but this feudal clan has strict supervision on this, so Brother Zhuge came here from Wuchang all the way to pass the decree, and even the guards of the capital can't do it." It’s really nice to give away, so I asked Brother Zhuge to ask about the price of the goods, and before I left, I asked Brother Zhuge to buy the last batch, and when I returned to the middle school, there must be some benefits.”

Seeing that Zhuge Fengye's face turned blue, Zhuang Zong said again: "It's okay if brother Zhuge came out without any money, Dadu Hufu can lend a sum of money for the goods, as long as brother Zhuge sells the goods in Guangzhou and returns the principal. Just give it to the local Fanyang yamen, this is definitely not self-enhancing, brother Zhuge, don't shirk."

Zhuge Fengye shook his head with a wry smile, wouldn't he be the same as the others from Xiboni?At this time, he suddenly became alert. It seems that the use of public funds for private wealth is very common in several colonies. Is this a kind of corruption under the new situation?He was a little uncertain.

But Zhuang Zongzheng next to him was still waiting for his reply, so he had no choice but to evade: "Is it too early to place an order now? Let's wait until the work here is over and the cargo ship comes from China."

But in this way, Zhuge Fengye's interest in traveling was greatly reduced, and after walking a few more steps in a hurry, he returned to the inn to rest because he was a little tired.

On the third day, Zhuge Fengye didn't go out anymore, and hid in the courtyard to listen to Zhuang Zongzheng explaining Jinlan's current situation to him. Although the feudal clan already knew these things, if he needed to report to Zheng Kezang face-to-face, he would have a good idea end.

"Now Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate is bounded by Guangnan in the north, the sea in the southeast, and Chenla in the west." Zhuang Zheng explained according to the script. "Among them, Champa has already proclaimed itself a vassal to the clan, and it is a foreign clan of the clan. King Poso () has received the titles of Champa Observer, Zizhi Yin, Captain Shangqingche, Dazhong Doctor, General Dingyuan, and King Champa. .”

This title is a hodgepodge of messy titles, among which King Champa is the lord, which proves that he is the monarch of Champa; Zizhi Yin and Captain Shangqingche are honorary titles, which means that the status of King Champa is equivalent to the third rank in the country. Dazhong Dafu and General Dingyuan were Wensan officials and Wusan officials of the third rank, which were originally used as proof of salary for Jilu officials, but in King Champa, it reflected the rank of foreign vassals; It is even more nonsense. The Ming and Qing dynasties did not have such honors and san. Zheng Kezang made it up on purpose to show that in addition to Champa, the King of Champa also had the obligation to take care of the entire Champa tribe. King Champa can use this to ask Ming Zheng for assistance, and the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government of Jinlan can also use this to take the initiative to fight Guangnan Ruan.

It is conceivable that this hodgepodge of foreign vassal reward system will definitely change after Zheng Kezang establishes a new dynasty, but now, just like the monarchs of various countries in Thailand and the West have dozens of titles, it sounds stinky and long enough to bluff people. .

"In addition to the outer feudal clan of Champa, there are six inner feudal clans of Jiading, Meilan, Meidi (Meituo), Bianhe, Haxian, and Dingxiang under the rule of Dadu Protectorate. Lieutenant General of the Territory, Meilan Huang by Territorial Guerrilla, Bianhe Yang and Jiading Chen respectively by Territorial Commander, Meidi Chen by Territorial General, Dingxiang Li by Territorial Defense.”

The heads of these clans were all from the country who were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Among them were the old divisions of the San Francisco and the old divisions of the Zheng family in the Zhu Chenggong era. It is obviously unwilling for the military power and the people in the hands to become officials, so Zheng Fan treats them as domestic chieftains.

However, the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate obviously didn't want them to listen to the announcement, so they still had a certain degree of military power.

"In addition, under the Dadu Protectorate, there are eleven other islands including Camlan, Dongpu, Xianglin (Chaigun, Saigon), Charong, Vinh Long, Houjiang, Shuozhuang, Minghai, Jinou (Ge Mao), Tong Thap, and Phu Quoc Island. county."

Of course, these eleven counties have different sizes and populations. There are [-] households in a large county like Jinlan, and only [-] households in a small county like Fuguo Island. Not as good.

"In terms of household registration, there are a total of 20 households with [-] people in Camlan. This figure does not include the [-] households in Champa, nor does it include the hidden Guangnan immigrant population of the six inner domains.

"In terms of military strength, in addition to the 310 and nine Longxiang troops directly under the Dadu Protectorate, more than [-] Western Kunlun slave troops can be recruited; King Champa can also send more than [-] people. However, the combat power of the latter two cannot be guaranteed.

"Of course Guangnan covets Jinlan, but they are really a little afraid of the vanguard of their vassal, so now they mainly attack Chenla; Chenla, Chenla is incompetent, not only the west and northwest Siam's land was encroached on a large scale by Siam, and the Guangnan people could not stop the encroachment in the northeast. It was divided up by the neighbors
