The capital, the Ministry of Officials.

With the imperial court issuing an edict, requiring people from all over the country to enter Beijing to serve as new territories sent overseas by liuguan, the entire ministry became extremely busy.

Every year, a large number of people from all over the Ming Dynasty happily rushed to the capital, received the appointment and acceptance documents from the ministry, and then happily went overseas to take office.

Changli County is very close to the capital, so Wang Linyuan is the first group of people to arrive in the capital.

"Dad, do you really want to go?"

Wang Youguan accompanied Wang Linyuan to the capital, looked at the yamen of the Ministry in front of him, and Wang Youguan asked again.

"Nonsense~"

Wang Linyuan threw off Wang Youguan and walked inside alone.

"How old are you?"

Han Dingsheng, the official in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Officials, looked at Wang Linyuan, who came to report, and immediately couldn't help but ask.

This beard and hair are gray, and it is not good to enjoy the blessings at home, and he even came out to be an official.

"I'm sixty years old, what?"

"It doesn't say that there is an age limit, and my identity as a lifter is not fake."

When Wang Youguan heard this, he was immediately unhappy, everyone said that he was old, but he didn't accept old age.

"Old man, there is no age limit mentioned above, but you must also know that this time the imperial court is gracious, it is also to be sent to overseas Xintu, if you are younger, maybe Lord Liu of the household department will invite you, if you are sent overseas, it is too dangerous, all the way across the sea, if there are three long and two short, it is not worth it."

Han Dingsheng shook his head helplessly and said.

He can understand the thoughts of these people, and when he was still a person before, he was also eager to be an official, but Wang Linyuan is indeed too old at this age.

"If you cross the ocean, you will drift across the sea, and if you go overseas, you will go overseas, I am not afraid of an old man, what are you afraid of, don't talk nonsense, quickly open me a paperwork."

Wang Linyuan was old-fashioned, and he was not timid at all because the other party's official position was bigger than his own, anyway, he was young, and he was afraid of something.

"Oh well~"

Han Dingsheng shook his head helplessly, then opened the map, looked at it and said: "You, it's still early, so you don't have to go too far, there is still a lack of a county here in Crescent City, can you see it?" ”

"Okay, as long as there is an official to do it, it doesn't matter where it is."

When Wang Linyuan heard this, he immediately nodded happily.

Originally, it stands to reason that people are officials, and they generally start from the teachings, masters, counties, etc., that is, small officials of the eighth grade, not even the seventh-grade sesame county order.

Now a large number of people are needed to go overseas to watch, and it is very good that this time I can even be a magistrate.

"That's okay, I'll open the paperwork for you, and then you go to the household department to get the official government and official seal, and you can go to Crescent City to take office by yourself with this paperwork."

Han Dingsheng looked at Wang Linyuan's appearance, and immediately knew that this was a person who was obsessed with being an official, where did he know where the Crescent City was and how far it was from Daming.

Starting from Tianjin, it will take almost a month to reach Crescent City, and Han Dingsheng suspects that this Wang Linyuan will burp before Crescent City.

"Hmm~"

Wang Linyuan nodded with satisfaction.

Soon, Wang Linyuan got the paperwork, and the whole person couldn't help but walk out excitedly.

"Haha, I'm also a magistrate."

"Dad, where did you send it?"

Wang Youguan outside had been waiting patiently, and when he saw Wang Linyuan coming out, he also asked urgently.

"What kind of crescent moon city should be the magistrate."

Wang Linyuan opened his appointment letter, looked at it and said.

"Crescent City?"

"This is in Luzon, I heard that it takes about a month to go from Tianjin."

When Wang Youguan heard this, he thought about it and said.

"A month is a month, what are you afraid of."

"Let's go, follow me to get the official uniform and official seal."

When Wang Linyuan heard this, he said indifferently, and took Wang Youguan to the household department to get his official uniform and official seal.

After receiving his official uniform and official seal, Wang Linyuan hurried to Tianjin again. Reading nests

"You hurry up and find someone to inquire if there are any merchant ships going to Nanyang now, and let them give me a ride."

Old man Wang Linyuan got his official uniform and official seal, and his whole person was in good spirits, and he was many years younger all of a sudden.

There was no tiredness of hurrying, and he was in a hurry to go to Crescent City to take office.

"Dad, it's going to be the New Year soon, otherwise, it's not too late to go after the New Year."

Wang Youguan was really helpless.

"Chinese New Year, you just spend it at home, I'm old, it doesn't matter, go to Crescent City early, and you can familiarize yourself with the situation as soon as possible, so that it is convenient to do things later."

"If you miss me, you can come to Crescent City to see me next year, and it's much more convenient to travel back and forth to Nanyang now."

Wang Linyuan said indifferently.

"Daddy~"

Wang Youguan immediately knew that he had no way to stop him, so he could only sigh.

Soon came to Tianjin, a inquiry, now to Nanyang and the Ming Dynasty there are quite a lot of merchant ships, almost every day there are merchant ships to the South Seas, there are also merchant ships from the South Seas return.

Ming porcelain, tea, glass products, cloth, silk, ironware, etc. are sold very vigorously in the Nanyang area, and the market demand is very large.

Similarly, pearls, corals, precious trees, spices, ivory, etc. are also very popular in Daming.

Since a large number of fleets followed the Taiping Marquis Du Mingen to Nanyang to open up the Nanyang trade route, the trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Nanyang has become very frequent.

Among them, the trade profits are very considerable, much higher than the profits of going to North Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, and now it has become a new development direction for major commercial banks in Tianjin.

Almost all of the large and small trading houses in Tianjin have trade contacts with various countries and regions in the Nanyang region, and there are regular ships coming and going.

When the merchant ship with a trading house learned that Wang Linyuan was the magistrate sent by the imperial court to Crescent City, they immediately agreed to Wang Linyuan's request very happily and promised to take Wang Linyuan to Crescent City.

This crescent city is the first territory of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, and it is also an important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

Moreover, most of the plantations that are now rising in the Nanyang region are around the island of Luzon around Crescent City, and for the county governor of Crescent City, it is natural to have a knot.

On the second day after arriving in Tianjin, the old man Wang Linyuan and a few servants boarded the 'Ping'an' merchant ship bound for Nanyang, and hurriedly went to Nanyang Crescent City to take up his post.

On the merchant ship 'Ping'an', the old man Wang Linyuan went to the official mansion, put on his official hat, and stood on the deck looking south, his heart was surging and excited.

"Lord Wang~"

"We'll be in Ryukyu City in a few days, and after a few days of rest here in Ryukyu City, we'll head straight to Luzon Province and arrive at Crescent City."

Peng Ji, the captain of the 'Ping'an' merchant ship, chatted with the old man Wang Linyuan every day.

Whenever he saw the old man Wang Linyuan wearing an official mansion and wearing an official hat, he couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time, he was also afraid that the old man Wang Linyuan would die on his own boat.

But fortunately, the old man Wang Linyuan is not seasick, and his condition and spirit are also quite good, plus there are ports to anchor all the way to the south, so nothing happened.

"Mr. Peng, you have traveled from south to north and have seen a lot, can you tell me about the situation in this Crescent City, you also know that I have never been out of Beizhili in my life, let alone overseas, I am a smear of Crescent City, I don't know anything."

Wang Linyuan smiled and nodded with Peng Ji and said.

"Of course you can~"

Peng Ji nodded briskly, and then he also ordered someone to find a map, opened the map and began to talk slowly.

"This is North Zhili, down is Shandong, South Zhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, this is Ryukyu, Ryukyu to the south, here is Luzon~"

"The location of Crescent City is here, and it is actually not far from Ryukyu, it is very close."

"Speaking of Ryukyu Castle, we have to talk about the first time I went to Nanyang with the Taiping Marquis a few months ago....."

"Those natives wantonly killed my Ming people, the Hou Ye was furious, and sent troops to attack it, and easily occupied Manila, and then renamed it Crescent City, announcing that this Crescent City will directly belong to the jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is the land of my Ming Dynasty."

"At present, there are a lot of plantations here in Crescent City, and major commercial houses have established large and small plantations near Crescent City, mainly planting sugarcane."

"Because Nanyang is far away from my Daming, there are relatively few Ming people here, and many plantations are hired by natives to work."

"These natives are still relatively diligent in their work, and the wages are very low, but don't be too nice to them, be cruel to them, so that they will be afraid of us and will honestly do things for us."

"In addition, the Crescent City side has now become the most important trading port in the Nanyang region, not only our Ming merchant ships and trading houses, but also many merchant ships and merchants from various countries and places in the Nanyangs."

"It's actually very good that Lord Wang can go to Crescent City as a county magistrate, there are many trading houses, merchants, and plantations here, and there are many large and small gold and silver mines on Luzon."

"Now there are a lot of trading houses that are opening gold and silver mines, and they are very profitable."

"It doesn't take a few years for adults to go here to be the magistrate of the county, and it is not a problem to easily get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, compared to being an official in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how much better."

"Many people don't know, they always think that overseas is a wild place, but they don't know, the richness of overseas, there is gold and silver flowing everywhere, not to mention anything else, I ship to the South Seas, and then bring a ship of goods back from the South Seas, back and forth, casually earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Peng Ji began to slowly talk about the situation in Nanyang.
