On the other side of the conference room, there was a group of people centered on Zhu Beiguo, and unlike Cao Limei's side, which was mainly a group of science and engineering men and industrial tycoons, Dr. Zhu gathered a group of high school students, and their discussion should be described as lively.

The topic discussed by this group of people is what high school students are most concerned about: according to Captain Gu's proposal, once everyone passes the navigation training, they can go to sea, so which port are they going to go to to buy a daughter-in-law after going to sea?

"Based on my latest research, I suggest that we go to Puerto Jolo, the capital of the Kingdom of Sulu."

After Zhu Beiguo finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair, shook his head and gently blew the steaming tea in the glass in his hand with his mouth.

"Maps! Take a look at the map! ”

Immediately, someone rushed out of the conference room, rummaged through the bookshelves outside the conference room, and soon a map of the South China Sea was spread out on the conference table.

The young men immediately gathered around, and this formation pushed Sun Lao, Gu Jin and the other old people aside, and finally the old guys had to move to another corner to continue discussing things.

"Brother Zhu, why the country of Sulu?"

In the crowd of onlookers, Wei Donglian's eyes lit up, staring at the map and asking questions first.

Because it is a prosperous trading port with a long history in the southern sea of the South Seas, according to historical records, the Sulu Kingdom had a close relationship with the early Ming court, and although there was no continuous tributary exchange, but among the people, the merchants of the two sides have been very frequent, and a large number of Chinese have gone to Sulu to do business in history, and finally settled there. So there's a good chance we'll meet Chinese girls, aren't we? ”

Zhu Beiguo replied with a smile.

"Really?"

"If that's the case, it's really worth visiting......

At this time, Zhu Beiguo took a sip of tea, exhaled a breath of hot air and continued:

"The most important thing is that I heard that the Sulu royal family is friendly to Chinese businessmen and likes Han culture, so it should be relatively easy for us to communicate with them in Chinese characters.

Of course, this is only an official historical record, and as for the truth, as you know, there must be discrepancies. However, it can also reflect some of the truth from the side, right? ”

"Hmm."

"Brother Zhu is right."

So Zhu Beiguo smiled slightly and continued to comment:

In addition, according to historical records, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a large number of Han Chinese did flee to the Nanyang islands near the Sulu Islands, including Luzon, Mindanao, Borneo, and Sulawesi, and lived in cities such as Brunei, Holo, Zamboanga, and Manila in Luzon.

The key is that this city of Holo has a long history of being founded, and it is the capital of the Sulu Kingdom and the most economically developed port in the southern seas of the South Seas. According to historical records, the population of this era was about 200,000 or more, and according to research, the number of Han people may be tens of thousands, or maybe more than that!

In addition, Zamboanga, a nearby port city, should also have a lot of Han Chinese, but Zamboanga has just been developed in this historical period, and it is estimated that the number of people is not as large as that of Holo City, so I recommend that Holo Port is the first choice.

However, it should be noted that the sea in the area of the Sulu archipelago was not very peaceful, and since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Spaniards in Luzon have been in constant conflict with the Kingdom of Sulu, because the privateer fleets of the nobles of the Sulu Kingdom often robbed passing European merchant ships.

This year is 1655, although it is already the twelfth year of the Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, but in the history of the Old World, until the middle of the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the famous Sulu pirates were still rampant in the nearby seas.

In order to defend himself against the Spaniards, the king of Sulu sent an envoy to the Qianlong Emperor to present the country's atlas and people's household registration to the Qianlong Emperor, requesting to be attached to the Qing Dynasty, but Qianlong refused on the grounds that the whip was out of reach.

Later, the Kingdom of Sulu was finally defeated by the Spaniards and surrendered to Spain, and the Kingdom of Sulu disappeared and became a vassal of the Spanish Philippines until a hundred years later, when it officially became part of the Philippines......"

Zhu Beiguo's lecture on history was very attractive, especially for young people, and everyone listened to it with relish, and when Zhu Beiguo talked about this, the audience quickly couldn't help but enter the stage of heated discussion.

Many of them are starting to make up for the various episodes and bloody plots that may occur when the Nicole and Pride arrive at Hollow Harbor to trade.

Another group of people was talking about it, if we drove the Nicole and pretended to be a force, wouldn't it also scare the little state of Nicole to come down?

As a result, people's brains were opened, and all kinds of pretending scenes came one after another, Zhu Beiguo laughed secretly in his heart when he heard it, thinking that sure enough, young people are active in thinking, and all kinds of brain supplements do not follow the routine at all, and they are also talking with great interest and their eyes are shining......

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the young people, the communication between the old guys and the audience on Mr. Sun's side was calm and low-key, talking about the professional issues of agriculture and animal husbandry, where to build a farm, where to open a vegetable garden, etc., how much gasoline was stored in the cave, how to collect the plastic bottles used to drink after drinking, what to eat in recent days, and so on.

As for the women, the things discussed are more realistic.

At this time, Wang Xue first proposed to the female companions that we should jointly suggest to everyone to set up a living materials management agency to manage all the living materials in the Red Mansion in a unified manner.

Of course, since everyone theoretically has an equal share of these materials, this authority only has the right to keep and register for consumption, but even so, it is important not only to eliminate most of the waste, but also to effectively monitor the consumption of materials so that various measures can be taken in time to make the most of these materials.

Hearing Wang Gong say this, the women's sensitive and meticulous thoughts immediately understood her thoughts, and the ladies discussed that it should be put forward at the discussion meeting after dinner, and just now Sun Lao They also said that a new management body needs to be re-elected to replace the "Crossing Affairs Coordination Group", so it should be reasonable and feasible for us to propose the establishment of a "Living Materials Management Committee" led by the ladies......

Dinner is still cooked by Sun Lao.

Because of the conscious help of the ladies, the kitchen on the first floor quickly became lively, with the sound of people accompanied by the movement of pots and spoons, and the smell of fragrant vegetables and rice wafted into the dining room and corridors.

Not long after Mr. Sun and the ladies left the conference room on the fifth floor, Zhu Beiguo ended his talk about the past and the present with the high school students in time, and also brought a group of young people to the restaurant.

At this time, many people guessed what was being done in the kitchen while smelling the vegetables, and many people did not sit still, and soon consciously joined the crowd of people who helped the cook.

As the saying goes, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, Chef Sun directs, cooks and cooks the dishes, everyone helps to do chores, and dinner is done quickly.

As at noon, there are two basins on each table, one for meat and one vegetable, one for fried pork with garlic sprouts and salt, and one for scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and in the four large insulated barrels in the corner, there are three barrels of steamed rice and a large bucket of steaming green onion and kelp mustard soup.

Perhaps it was the crossing operation that caused a bit of physical consumption, and everyone ate with relish at dinner, and after half an hour of feasting, everyone finally had their fill.

As the saying goes, many people enter the daze mode, or sit on the chair and chat without a match, and when the last one is finished, Sun Lao stood up and asked everyone to help put away the tableware, and by the way, wash their own dishes and chopsticks, and said that the washing of the common tableware will be borne by themselves.

As soon as Mr. Sun said this, everyone was a little embarrassed, saying that how can the public tableware trouble you alone, let's take turns.

So someone suggested whether to make a list of arrangements for taking turns to help the cook, and everyone agreed after listening to it, but Sun Lao said that tonight's public tableware washing and kitchen cleaning will be done by me, as for the help kitchen to arrange the rotation table or something, after everyone elects a new affairs management organization, the people of this agency will be responsible for making it.

Everyone thought that what Sun Lao said was the same, and after everyone returned to their seats after washing, many people began to talk about what the name of our new governing body should be......
