As for disobeying Liu Pei's orders, they really didn't dare. After all, all the family members were recruited by their wives. Liu Pei firmly grasped the financial power and military power. The prestige is also high in the family. But Liu Pei was also unwilling to use forcible orders to explain. Liu Pei felt that letting the people below know what they were doing and why they were doing it would be enough for them to be motivated.

This ship was named Dingyuan by Liu Pei! Moreover, the Dingyuan and the Zhenyuan are of the same type, and the Zhenyuan is a sister ship. After a busy time, Dingyuan will take on the heavy responsibility of this voyage. Think of it as an ocean-going training. After all, none of the current family members have long sailing experience, so such training is necessary.

It wasn't until later that it was discovered that wine was a liquid that could be stored for a long time. So from that time on, ships on long voyages would bring with them large quantities of liquor of lower strength to serve as fresh water. But this triggered a side effect, which was to trigger the crew to drink heavily. It can be said unceremoniously that the crew at that time were all drunkards.

Liu Pei used a large number of flat mirrors to make a solar water device. It is to fix a large number of mirrors in a concave shape, so as to form a focus against sunlight, and then add a large copper pot. The pot has very long copper tubes on the copper lid to extend the cooling line. Moreover, the copper pipe can be directly soaked in a seawater basin for cooling. Another advantage of this is that with the solar reducer, the firewood for cooking on board is greatly reduced, and a lot of cargo and water can be carried.

I don't know if it's not a long voyage, it turns out that there are so many problems that can be found in the voyage! Even Wu Yizhou had to admit that among the various navigation regulations he studied, many of the things that he thought were meaningless or incomprehensible were of great significance in the voyage!

The reason is that I can only wander around the sea for more than ten days, and I can't find any problems. Now, after such a long voyage, the sailors have indeed been greatly trained and their skills have improved. In the end, Liu Pei made the decision, and voyage training must become the norm. Therefore, Liu Pei is even more urgent to get the shipwright's heart!

The vessel entered the port of Macao under the guidance of the territorial officer. The ships in the harbor are full of shuttles, and the sailors have various accents, which shows that it is quite prosperous. According to the plan, the Dingyuan will stay here for a few days, waiting for Liu Pei's instructions. So the lads got a rare time to relax and went ashore to play.

Here in Macau, the Portuguese dominate. It has become one of their main windows in Asia. Historically, both the British and the Dutch have tried to occupy Macau. However, with the concerted efforts of the local military and civilians, they firmly held Macao. However, although the Portuguese kept Macau, they lost the sea, and all the efforts here were meaningless!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty government had complete sovereignty over Macau!

Secondly, the Guangdong government also set up a customs office to collect foreign taxes. In the Ming Dynasty, there was originally a river boat near the A-Ma Temple in Macau. When there were more and more Portuguese people in Macao, the Guangdong government set up a customs office in Macao, which was responsible for "collecting taxes from Yibo". The payment of taxes and salaries enabled the Portuguese in Macao to change from private traders to wage merchants, and to obtain the qualification to conduct legal trade in China.

The Xiangxian County Magistrate is the chief in charge of the general civil affairs and justice of Macao. The Ming Dynasty regarded Macao as a part of Xiangshan County, and the Xiangshan County Order exercised its governing power in Macao. For example, in 1567, the magistrate of Xiangshan County investigated the smugglers and children sold in Macao; In 1608, Cai Shanji, the magistrate of Xiangshan, carried out flogging on "Yimu", which was a manifestation of the Ming government's exercise of ruling power.

Liu Pei originally wanted to send him away, but he suddenly realized something, so he looked him up and down with interest, this young man is not tall, nor strong, just ordinary. But the eyes are bright. So Liu Pei said: "How did you make it clear that this official is an official?" This official is not wearing an official uniform! ”
