Chapter 25: Peter Meets Peter
Since it was a peaceful return, Mai Ke did not care about himself, and proposed to the new governor of Gwangju, Jing Jingrui, to continue to let the second master participate in the management of the family business.
Through Guò's contact these days and experiencing these events, Jingrui's trust in Mai Ke has increased unprecedentedly, almost to the point of obeying her words.
Therefore, according to Mai Ke's Jianyì, she arranged for the second master to manage trade and agriculture. The guards and transports were managed by themselves.
As for financial and personnel appointments, needless to say, they cannot be handed over to others.
The governor's mansion where Ning Yuanxing lived in the past was returned to him to continue to live, and the treatment was the same as when he was the governor.
The new governor was temporarily stationed in one of the best inns owned by the Ning family, and renovated it into a temporary governor's mansion. In the future, if necessary, build a new one.
Mai Ke promised her to design a new style for her that no one had ever seen it, let alone lived in it.
It was designed in the 21st century, and it's strange that someone has seen it now.
Subsequently, Jingrui spent all day cleaning up the family property, and re-registered all the property according to the double-entry bookkeeping method taught to her by Mai Ke.
She also divided her property into immovable property, movable property, and floating wealth according to Mai Ke's method. Floating wealth includes silver taels and silver bills in hand, which can be exchanged for huàn silver taels at any time.
She is also really good at managing money, and she quickly became familiar with this new bookkeeping method, and she also found it more and more wonderful.
This is so much better than the original bookkeeping method!
Not only has it saved several bookkeepers, but also the accuracy and practicality have been greatly improved.
According to this bookkeeping method, the financial statements are summarized to provide a clear picture of the family's financial situation.
How smart does this have to be to come up with this method? Jingrui is almost about to bow to Mai Ke.
In fact, this is just the content of one of the basic accounting courses selected by the Economics major.
Mai Ke left Ning Zuo to protect Jingrui and went to Peter.
This guy won't get carried away and get lost in the roots.
Gentle Township is often a hero's mound.
However, this time Mai Ke was a little wronged by Peter.
At this time, together with the fleet, he was confronting an American warship that was also about to enter the port.
Originally, Peter was in a foreign land, and he almost had tears in his eyes, but who knows, the American warship was arrogant, not only ignored him, but arrogantly made them give way.
I guess those Yankees are spitting Peter, don't think that you look like Lao Mei, just think that you are Lao Mei. Stay and go!
Peter also had a soft temper, especially in front of his beloved in his heart, how could he let them have the upper hand?
That's not all, some veteran ruffians whistled loudly when they saw Meng Ruofei's beautiful woman next to Peter.
At the moment, Peter didn't care whether he was a warship or not, and whether he was from his own country or not, and when he gave an order to the flag-bearer on the side, he had to give this arrogant and unreasonable big guy a little color.
The signalman immediately waved the signal flag to convey the order. I saw a hula, and the eight pirate ships divided into joint attacks, and went up to surround the warship.
The U.S. troops who witnessed it were a little dumbfounded, how could these turtles be more advanced than us? Looking at the tactical command and the coordination between the various ships, it was simply impeccable.
Since they had already entered the inner harbor, the distance between the pirate ship and the American warship was so close that the guns on the warship did not have time to exert their power, and the seductive battle began.
A group of brave pirates threw their claws, hooked the strings of the warship, and tugged at the rope behind the claws, and the ape-like climbed up, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the deck.
The U.S. troops on the warship tried to shoot and bombard, but could not raise their heads. Because there were archers on the ship who fired their bows and arrows to provide cover for these warriors who climbed the boat.
Especially the archer who was captured and released, his amazing archery skills played a powerful deterrent role in the US military. As soon as an American soldier stretched out his snatch to open fire, he shot an arrow into the chamber of his gun. The gunman was injured on the spot.
Since they can't stop the enemy from boarding the ship, let them come up. The commander of the former US ship on the ship was not stubborn either, and immediately changed his tactics.
He told the soldiers to retreat to the middle of the ship, knelt on the deck, loaded their guns, all aimed at the side of the ship, and waited for the climbers to show their heads, and then gave him a shot on the head.
At that time, the archers were also beyond the reach of the whip.
These pirates have not been through such a battle, and they do not know how powerful such a volley of guns is. A melee with heavy casualties is about to take place.
Mai Ke arrived at this time and hurried to stop the pirates from boarding the ship.
Then he complained to Peter, "Are you still so impulsive that you won't explain it properly? ”
Peter smiled, his eyes drifting towards Ruofei.
Mai Ke knew clearly at a glance that he wanted to be a hero in front of a beautiful woman.
Then, he patted Peter on the shoulder, "Let's go, meet our seniors." ”
As soon as the U.S. troops saw that Mai Ke had stopped encircling them, they had no hostility towards him. Although they are not afraid of these stragglers, it is best to avoid trouble.
So, the commander of the front ship saw that one of the other party's ships drove out of the fleet, and also walked to the front end, and greeted Mai Ke and them.
At first, he was afraid that the other party would not understand his American English, but he didn't expect that Mai Ke was much more powerful than him, and more authentic than what the radio announcer said.
won a double doctorate in New York, and mixed with the American special forces for another year, not to mention American English, British American is also a good word.
Appreciating the language ability of the arrival, the former ship commander put away his contemptuous heart, and asked the two of them to wait in polite language, and he went to ask the captain for advice. At the same time, he explained that he did not have the right to let people board the ship.
After a while, the officer returned and replied to Mai Ke and the others that the captain had agreed to meet and invited them to board the ship.
A rope ladder was lowered from the ship's string, and the two of them climbed up without hurry.
As soon as he crossed the side of the ship and stepped onto the deck, a tall young man dressed in an admiral's uniform stepped forward, his four-star epaulettes shining brightly.
"Welcome!"
He reached out to the second-hand.
Mai Ke went up to shake hands with him, and thanked him for the opportunity and time to meet.
Peter did not shake his hand, but his heart was indignant.
He's only a three-star vice admiral himself! This guy is not older than me, and he is not heavier than me...... Wait, this one might be about the same as me......
What Peter didn't know was that the guy in front of him was one of a limited number of admirals, the commander of the Pacific Fleet.
The three of them walked into the room, sat down and introduced each other's surnames.
When Peter and the admiral introduced, their eyes widened at the same time, and their names were Peter!
That's not all, in the United States, it's not uncommon to see the same name, and there may be three or four people in your class who are named Peter, or John. But the surnames of these two are the same, they are both Simon, which is rare.
Peter suddenly remembered that when he was studying in the Navy, there was a portrait in the war room, vaguely similar to this guy. On second thought, the name is exactly the same as this guy.
Now Peter couldn't sit still, he admired that battle example very much, even a modern person, with such a full grasp of information, it is difficult to fight such a precise war of annihilation.
He couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Your Excellency is General Peter, who annihilated the Spanish Armada in Bermuda, known as "Ghost Seeing"?"
The admiral couldn't help but smile bitterly, didn't I just introduce me as Peter, and why are you still so surprised?
So, in reply to Peter, "Yes, it seems that I am the only one in the navy who has this rank." "At the same time, I also wondered, my battle has just ended, and people in China don't necessarily know about it, how can this guy know about it?
Peter was still regretting that he had missed the handshake with him. I regretted it in my heart, and I was excited again, so I can't miss the opportunity to shake hands with the hero I admire!
So he took another step forward, stubbornly, firmly, and without regard for the faux pas, and stretched out his hand to Peter, who was seated, and vowed not to give up until he had achieved his goal.
Seeing that the guy opposite was so ridiculous, and that stubborn energy was a little cute, Admiral Peter didn't care about his identity, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Peter.
Their hands were clasped tightly together!
Mai Ke, who was watching from the sidelines, was still happy in his heart, my brother was really funny, and he could also catch ducks on the shelves. The other Peter was not bad, and he was even willing to let Peter mess around.
Suddenly, Mai Ke's mouth opened wide because he was smiling happily because he was watching the excitement, and his squinted eyes were also round!
An incredible event happened right under Mai Ke's nose.
There is only one of the two Peters left!
I saw Admiral Peter sit back like no one, leaving a stunned Mai Ke there at a loss.
Why did my brother disappear all of a sudden? He was the absolute main force in all my arrangements. It's too overwhelming and too unacceptable.
Although, I know that the wind blows according to his own will, and he must always give me some signs and leave some traces. What should I do next? Aren't the other brothers doing the same?
Could this be the pattern of the Messenger who didn't tell me about the time-traveling?
"Mai Ke, what are you doing?"
Mai Ke was wandering the world when he suddenly heard someone talking.
This is Peter's voice!
Mai Ke quickly turned his neck around and looked around for Peter, but he didn't see him.
Could it be that he has become a soul being?
"Look where, here!"
Mai Ke was pondering when the voice on the other side reminded him of it. He saw the admiral's mouth open and closed, and his voice was exactly the same as Peter's.
"You're Peter?"
"I'm Peter. ”
"Simon Peter?"
"Simon Peter!"
Mai Ke wanted to continue, but Peter yelled: "What kind of reputation are you doing? I will talk to you well, why are you suddenly out of tune, it is really inexplicable." ”
Hey, there's an out-of-tune. Mai Ke was spitting in his heart, but he was very happy.
It seems that Peter did not lose, but replaced the admiral.
That is to say, my brother Peter succeeded in crossing over to become Admiral Simon Peter.
This is also the first member of their collective to complete the second half of the journey after coming to this era.
If the messenger had been there, he would have ridiculed him, and who told you what you were doing through the whole process?
Mai Ke continued to think, although I am more sure that this is a crossing, but in what way, whether it is a soul crossing, a body crossing, or even a body and soul crossing, I don't know.
However, Mai Ke's faith tells him that no matter how he wears it, it is in the hands of God who is in charge of everything, and we accept it obediently. Nothing else is for us to know, much less for us to choose.
The way I used to be puzzled by the way of crossing was so easily completed by Peter. What's the use of me figuring out?
It's really impossible for people to do anything, and nothing to do in God.
Be sure to ask Peter for advice when you find the time, and listen to him talk about what it feels like to travel and experience.
Mai Ke couldn't help but be a little eager to try.
