Gan Hui didn't wait long when he set foot in the dock area, and saw an Annan official riding a horse, followed by a group of people coming quickly.

The Annan officials are about forty years old, and their appearance is the standard Annan monkey appearance, wearing official robes similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.

He rolled the saddle and dismounted, running so fast that the black gauze hat was crooked, he was dressed properly, and came over to bend down to Gan Hui, who was obviously the leader of this group of Ming people, and said in a wrinkled voice: "Xiaguan Ruan Fu'an, is the local prefect, I am sincerely afraid, welcome the envoys of the country, may I ask ......."

Gan Hui said loudly: "My lord, I am the overseer of the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty, the general of the Daming hussars, the commander of the Taiwan Guard, the Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, and the Guangdong coastal defense guerrilla His Royal Highness Yan Changwu travels, I am the deputy chief of staff Gan Hui under his seat, you can call me Gan deputy seat!" ”

Yan Changwu has a large list of titles, Ruan Fuan didn't dare to take it lightly, and worked hard to write it down!

How dare you not remember that there are so many cannons in other people!

After a few words of greetings between the two sides, Ruan Fuan asked Gan Hui to admire his face and move to his official office, so that he could entertain the distinguished guests from the Celestial Empire!

Gan Hui accepted his invitation, followed by a team of hundreds of musketeers as his honor guard, those musketeers were specially selected ceremonial soldiers, all of them were more than 1.8 meters tall, tall and mighty!

The noun is called "tall and mighty", and the other term is called "thick and hard" or "coarse and much".

In ancient times, people were short, but nearly a million people in the southeast province were still able to make up these tall guys, especially some children to catch up with the good year!

Yan Dashao seized power in 1625 A.D., and now in 1631, when the children of the Southeast Province were twelve years old, they had enough nutrition and enough iron exercise, and they immediately sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and after five or six years of hard work, when they joined the army at the age of seventeen or eighteen, their height was very considerable!

They are compared with the Annan people around them, and the Annan people become monkeys in seconds.

Look at those tall Ming people, and then look at the guns they carry, the flintlock pistols of a water!

Ruan Fuan was very polite, and followed half a step behind Gan Hui!

His name shows that he is a close relative of Lord Ruan, and he has a noble status in the Ruan Dynasty, and he is also quite arrogant, even if he is a red-haired fanlai, he looks like Diao, but he is very humble in front of this group of Ming people.

Seeing that he knew what to do, Gan Hui was not too much and was polite to him.

Everyone has a good atmosphere!

went to his official office, the double stone lion in front of the door, similar to the official office of the Ming Dynasty, but it seemed to be much more petty.

This official office is new, but the old yamen of the Ming Dynasty are more powerful than them.

There's no way, the ability of copycats is not something that anyone can do.

Nguyen Phuoc An's official hall was condescending and could look out over the port, no wonder he had come so early just now.

invited Gan Hui to sit in the main seat, and Ruan Fuan shouted at the pretty maid to bring him a silver basin to wash his hands and toast fragrant tea.

The two sides sat down, and Nguyen Phuc An talked about his admiration for the heavenly kingdom, like a surging river, endless!

Gan Hui was vain and wronged, and deeply appreciated his behavior!

Then Nguyen Phuc An gave a gift and gave three gifts, one was the labor and military expenses for the Southeast Fleet, amounting to 10,000 Spanish silver dollars! The other is for Yan Dashao, also 10,000 Spanish silver dollars! and then to Gan Hui's, for three thousand Spanish silver dollars.

Gan Hui accepted all the orders, but he would not accept the silver dollars given to him, but handed them over to the public, even Yan Changwu's.

He was the first ruler not to receive gifts!

Although he is also a family in the world, he is very clear about gifts, and the money of income is put into the public account, and the gifts, some gifts are inconvenient to cash in (outsiders give you gifts, it is a heart, you dare to sell it?). An exhibition hall was set up to display it.

As for those gifts given to subordinates, if the subordinates like them, they can buy them themselves, otherwise they have to be cashed out or given to the exhibition hall.

There is a good thing that sometimes Yan Changwu will pick up the expensive gifts in the exhibition hall and give them to his subordinates.

Gan Hui gave the other party a hundred barrels of rum and 100 packets of sugar, plus some venison jerky and silk, and that's it.

The gifts of the two sides are not equal, and the Annan people pay more, but there is no way, who has more artillery for others, so many cannons, and gives less, for fear that people will think that they are sending beggars.

However, Ruan Fuan also dared to make a mistake, which made Gan Hui look at him with admiration and be more polite.

People respect you, at least three feet.

……

Ruan Fuan cautiously asked, "Dare to ask why your army is here?" ”

"We are here for the exercise, the army can't just stay in the port, we are training from a distance......" Gan Hui said nonsense, listening to Ruan Fuan's eyes blinking, wondering who would be unlucky!

He has been in Hoi An for a long time, and he has seen the plywood ships of the red hair come and go, but he has never seen such a large fleet of plywood boats coming, no, they are not armed merchant ships, they are professional warships!

I don't know who is unlucky, but fortunately, the leader of the Ming people is very polite to him, and Ruan Fuan knows that his family is safe, and he is a little relieved.

Then Gan Hui talked about the need for supplies and made a list, but he declared: "Give the money according to the price, so that you don't suffer, of course, it is better for you to give some discounts." ”

"Of course, of course!" Ruan Fuan said repeatedly, called a master, planned it, gave a preferential price, and then sent someone to busy replenishing supplies with Gan Hui's officers.

At noon that day, Ruan Fuan entertained Gan Hui and his entourage to have a sumptuous feast, unexpectedly, the dishes are all authentic Southeast Province dishes, such as fried oysters, soju snails, fried flower branches (squid), Southeast meat balls, etc., a question, it turned out that there are many Hokkien people in Hoi An, the dishes are novel, and the officials of the Ruan Dynasty like to eat, which is a manifestation of Chinese food conquering the world.

……

After eating southeast food, Gan Hui returned to the dock, and someone immediately reported: "Many guests have come to visit, leaving their names and gifts, and we have invited a few people led by them to sit in the cabin." ”

Entering the cockpit, immediately seven or eight Han merchants stood up and saluted Gan Hui, three of whom were still wearing official robes of the Ming Dynasty, which were one Tongzhi and two Zhixian obtained by donating officials.

Gan Hui is enthusiastic about them, and he is not high!

The officials of the southeast province are generally kind, and it is out of Yan Changwu's teachings, and everyone understands the reason: What kind of pomp and circumstance are you doing when you are fighting the country now!

Wouldn't it be nice to unite all those who can be united, to be kind to them, and to make them willing to give more money and build more cannons.

Gan Hui happily communicated with them and learned that there are many Chinese in Hoi An!

Hoi An is the earliest Chinatown in Annam, since the opening of the port in 1615, there are many Chinese who are engaged in business to do business here, and gradually take root, forming a prosperous Chinese community, there are many Chinese associations, including Chaozhou Guild Hall, Hokkien Guild Hall, Guangzhao Guild Hall, Qiongfu Guild Hall, and also about the emperor's temple, Buddhist temple, ancestral hall of each surname, etc.

The Chinese businessman who donated Tongzhi was from Fujian Province, named Shi Tong'an, and said with a smile: "The locals here are generally lazy and have poor intelligence, and we sometimes have to invite workers from our hometown to ...... construction."

The two sides talked about it, and at that moment Gan Hui went with them to the Chaozhou Hall and the Fujian Hall to sit down, and first went to the Mazu Temple to offer incense.
