"Guangdong deserves to be the capital of the southern country, and even this health center is different from my Guizhou."

Ye Yiwei rode on the saddle and walked side by side with Fu Xiaofei, although he was older, he was also used to riding a horse, from Guiyang to Guangzhou for nearly two thousand miles, a small half of the distance before arriving in Wuzhou was almost all horseback riding, and only when he arrived in Wuzhou did he change to a boat.

Yesterday in Daliang Fort [note: Shunde County Governance] rested for the night, Shunde County Governor Wang Shangxian and local officials in the county town hospitality all courtesy, eat and drink all night and from the prostitute outside the fort to find Xiao Sing and prostitutes to accompany them. The officials of Shunde County heard that Ye Yiwei and Fu Xiaofei were all people who had personally arranged for the patrol to go to Macao to do business, and the officials on the same road had already dealt with Fu Xiaofei a lot. By the way, the officials of Haidao and the province also received a share of the honor of filial piety, and each of them slept happily until the sun hung high on the second day, and then he dressed up and went out of the city.

Fu Xiaofei listened to Ye Yiwei's words and didn't know what to do, and humbly asked for advice based on the principle of asking if he didn't understand, he would not miss any opportunity to learn about Daming now.

Ye Yiwei was just looking for something to say for the pastime on the road, so he naturally had to answer all questions, "There are many soldiers in Guizhou, but there seem to be a lot of people in the bunkers around Foshan Town or Shunde along the way, and there doesn't seem to be much land to plant. ”

Daliang Fort is Shunde County Governance, Yingzong has Huang Xiaoyang's rebellion, 100,000 people gather in Guangdong, after the chaos of the Ming Court in Jingtai three years of the South China Sea Dongchong, Maning, Ding'an, Xilin Sidu and Xinhui's Baiteng Fort out of Shunde County, take the meaning of 'Shuntian Mingde', the county governs Taigong Fort, because the emperor's imperial approval of the clerical error will Taigen written into Daliang.

But although it is called the fort, it is also a real county seat, the roads in the fort are lined with houses, and there are good fields outside the fort, which is indeed much better than Ye Yiwei's hometown in Guizhou. Fu Xiaofei came to Guangdong when he first arrived in Daming, and he didn't know the situation in the mainland, although he also knew that Daming's military camps were deserted a lot, but at least there was no intuitive impression of what he saw in Guangdong.

A voice next to him suddenly sounded, and it was Deng Quanmei, the official of the Humen Zhai Committee, who was accompanying the military guard this time.

"Ye's shopkeeper is sharp-eyed, a few years ago, the Ministry of War inspected the world's guards, and even the nine sides were two or three out of ten, only our guards in Guangdong were full, and there were many fugitives in Fujian next door."

"But I don't think much grain is cultivated in the fields near the left."

"Mr. Ye is right, in recent years, the fields along the coast of Guangdong have been converted, and there are still some grain fields here, and the sugar mills in Leizhou have already planted sugarcane."

Entering Shunde County, many of the surrounding farmland is planted with sugarcane, at this time Guangdong's various sugar products are also a large amount of goods for export, whether Nanyang or European countries' merchant ships love to carry a large number of sugar goods on the return trip. The profit of sugar is several times that of growing rice, and naturally local farmers flock to it.

"It seems that the local military households are still doing well." Ye Yiwei is meaningful.

General Deng said with a smile: "When a military household still spends money to ask for help, how can you not get it?" ”

Most of the military cantonments along the coast of Guangdong are implicated with large and small sea lords, and Guangzhou is also a place where commerce and trade are developed, and the geographical advantages of the military cantonments in various coastal areas naturally attract people to compete for a military quota.

Fu Xiaofei looked back, Gu Ziming happened to be with the team of North Korean prisoners who were escorted back to Macao, it was rare that he could also speak some Korean, although it may not be in tune with the Korean language at this time, so it was easy to communicate. These North Koreans seem to be honest and obedient, and they just asked them about their plans for the future on the way, and now that their suspicions have been cleared, Gu Ziming takes a lot of care of these people, and the accompanying officials don't care, but they are extremely grateful to those North Koreans. After the transfer of these prisoners in Macao, Gu Ziming wanted to buy them, but there were too many refugee men and women from Guangdong, and Gu Ziming hoped to give Fu Xiaofei's 'Qiongya Column' more different faces, so as not to form a township party in Sanya.

Gu Ziming has already seen the archives of these North Koreans, the oldest of the five is less than 40, and the youngest is only 24 or 5, and he may be able to lead the way when he goes north to the Korean Peninsula in the future.

Fu Xiaofei was curious, because these North Korean prisoners were convicted of capital crimes before they were rehabilitated, but they were locked up in prison for almost ten years, except for those who died in prison due to illness, the remaining five did not even die. Why did you stay safe for eight or nine years? ”

Deng Quanmei knew the origin of Fu Xiaofei's self-report, and he was not surprised, and said with a smile: "After the autumn, it is all about collusion, and it depends on the mood of who the master kills or not, but it is luck that he hasn't been hooked for eight or nine years." ”

When Fu Xiaofei heard this, he immediately thought of the death reprieves in the future, but it seemed to be more severe than the death reprieve, and he would still die, and he would not directly change the sentence to 20 years in prison. It is also common sense that there are still suspenseful cases like this to drag on, otherwise it may not be possible to find out if the case is really completed, and it is still because this matter is only implicated in the Langyi of Macau, and it has little to do with the local gentry.

Along the way, Gu Ziming and others treated these prisoners well, involving foreign countries, and the officials here in Guangdong were relatively well-behaved, and they really got acquainted with these North Koreans along the way, although these people were all locked in wooden cages, fortunately, they were not in a flail and were still treated.

The people walked and walked, and finally arrived at the wharf of the Xiaohuangpu Inspection Division at the beginning of the time, and from there it was much faster to get on the inspection department's multi-patrol boat and cross the sea to Xiangshan County.

On the shore, it is a busy scene, a total of eleven capital squares around Xiangshan County, almost every family has someone doing business, and there are still people intermarrying with Langyi in several townships near Xiangshan Ao after passing the valley word Yongmo Village in the south.

The patrol ship landed, and the new Xiangshan Ling Zeng Dong's curtain guests were already waiting at the wharf, and the master led the way, and the team arrived at the east gate of Xiangshan County at sunset. Unlike Shunde, Shunde is only a county, and Wang Shangxian, the county magistrate, is just a person, and I heard that he has not given up his career yet, and he will go to the post to prepare for the exam as soon as he passes this year. And Xiangshan County, which was a young and promising county, was a jinshi of the new branch in the 44th year of Wanli, and he was also a proud person. Ye Yiwei is the relationship of Tian Zhiyuan, he learned from the shopkeeper Ye about the origin of his family head and the Ma family in Guiyang, that Ma Shiying was still the same year as him, and he was entertained that day. Fu Xiaofei and Gu Ziming also showed their hearts in it, and privately sent Zeng Dong a gift of money, this night with a few people in the official who were stained with light to eat and sleep well, the second day got up early and went south with the team out of the city, because it was the year-end inspection, Zeng Zhixian took the guests to join the team of the official, and had dinner at Yongmo camp at noon, and in the afternoon, he had arrived at a township next to the official road in front, but he saw that the residents and merchants were weaving back and forth, and it was obviously a big place.

Those businessmen saw the honor guards and flags of Guangdong Haidao and Xiangshan County clearing the road in front of them, and they all got out of the way, but they were not panicked, and the goods along the way were still busy.

Fu Xiaofei looked at his heart and said that he should have arrived in Gongchangdu [Note: Zhuhai in later generations], Gongchang is one of the eleven township capitals in Xiangshan County, and it is also the closest capital to Macau. All kinds of supplies supplied by Guangdong to Macao are calculated according to dingkou and strictly controlled, but they do not have an effective impact on non-governmental transactions. There are Fujian smuggling vessels at sea, and the people who pass through this area on land can also supplement the needs of the Macao Peninsula to a certain extent, as is the case every time the gate of the lotus stem is opened.

"Are these people going to Australia?" Gu Ziming asked Deng Quanmei on the side.

"Gu Dongzhu is knowledgeable." Deng Quanmei chewed betel nut in his mouth, and his words were not clear, and he lost the appearance of the official, Gu Ziming and Deng Weiguan were already acquainted, and the day before yesterday he also privately gave Deng Quanmei a set of powder boxes and fifty taels of silver, and said that there will be more filial piety in the future, Deng Quanmei has already guaranteed Gu Ziming, and after Gu Ziming's merchant ship passes near Humen Village, it will definitely be taken care of.

This team of people and horses with the official flag all the way convenient, first to the front mountain to rest, the front mountain and the Macao Peninsula across the sea, only the lotus stem in the middle, here is only one step away from Macao, standing in the front of the mountain Yue Wang Temple overlooking the south faintly can see the sea on the opposite side of the looming Macao Peninsula.

Knowing that the gate was opened today, the residents of several villages in the north, mainly Cuiwei Village, were all waiting here with all kinds of fresh goods, as well as merchants who purchased pepper and Danlang who were waiting for business were also resting here, and several stalls selling herbal tea, betel nuts and rice were set up next to it, and a large market had formed outside Yuewang Temple.

Fu Xiaofei was a little bored and said to Gu Ziming, "I have seen a lot of Yuewang Temples along the way from Guangzhou, but I have seen few Guandi Temples, so why is it the other way around in later generations." ”

"You didn't listen to Mei's class? Where did so many people worship Guan Yu in the Ming Dynasty, most of them worship Grandpa Yue. ”

In the Ming generation, the martial saints mostly talked about Yue Fei, and even the entrance of the East Factory was dedicated to the statue of Yue Fei instead of Guan Yu. Yue Fei is a military general who is appointed to enjoy the side of Song Taizu, the Emperor Shenzong personally crowned the Three Realms Jing Demon Emperor, which seems to be higher than the title of Emperor Guan Sheng, at this time, although the people are affected by comments such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but as a martial saint Yue Fei's sense of existence is indeed higher, just look at the number of Yue Wang Temple.

But thinking about the situation in the future, Fu Xiaofei sighed in a low voice, "It seems that it is really a disaster for the Manchurians." ”

In later generations, whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, the most common thing is the Guandi Temple, and the academic saying is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty recognized the ancestor of Dajin, and finally directly pretended to play Yue Fei for the sake of deceiving others and deceiving himself first.

The two followed the guard of honor and talked as they walked, and they didn't realize that they had arrived at the beach.

Deng Quanmei pointed to the south, "In front is the lotus stem, and after passing the gate, it is Xiangshanao." ”

After speaking, he looked at the chief guard of honor in front of him, leaned into Gu Ziming's ear and whispered.

"What did he say?" Fu Xiaofei saw that Deng Quanmei had already followed to the front, so he asked Gu Ziming about it.

"He said that Yongmo's general camp and the defenders at the gate in front of him can speak, if we have any inconvenience, we can find him."

"He has so much face to the boundaries of Xiangshan County?" After all, Humen Village and Xiangshan are separated by the sea, and they do not belong to each other, Fu Xiaofei is the one who asked.

"I guess the local battalions should be colluding with each other, otherwise you see where there are so many people in this coastal guard post in Guangdong."

"But that's fine, in the past, we didn't know the style of the Ming Dynasty, and it's good to have this stepping stone."

Fu Xiaofei naturally understood when he thought about it, taking the road of the army to do business is indeed a good way, compared to civilian officials, Qiu Ba is better to deal with, and it seems that the military generals in Guangdong seem to be reasonable, he heard a second-hand joke from Ye Yiwei, saying that the merchants in Jiangnan are easy to refuse to trade without double profits, and Cantonese people do business to make money and sell, to put it mildly, there is no lower limit.

But after all, there is no deeper interaction, I am afraid that I have to take one step at a time, but there is another way to leave in addition to the exaltation.

While speaking, Gu Ziming urged Fu Xiaofei to join several veterans and personal soldiers who came with him, they are now wearing ordinary clothes, and if they don't follow the brigade of the official family in front, I'm afraid that the pass will be delayed.

Bypassing the reef behind a bay, a sand bank about six or seven zhang wide is presented in front of you, and the sand bank faces the sea on both sides.

From a distance, I watched a gate open widely, and there were three big characters engraved on the gate tower that were particularly eye-catching-closing gate.

Outside the gate is the sentry officers and soldiers of Xiangshanzhai surrounded the bullet pressure, and a military general on the gate tower has already come downstairs at this moment, nodding to the curtain guests of Zeng Zhi County.

"That is the guard of the Yongmo camp, and he is the most kind to me." Deng Quanmei came up again at this moment.
