"This problem has been told to Shen Daxing a long time ago, but it is not easy to solve." Han Wantao stood up and said, "I told you all about the situation, you get a summary of the battle as soon as possible, and I have to go back to the command headquarters." ”

After Han Wantao left, Xu Lang suddenly looked at Leng Tianbing and smiled.

"What are you laughing at, and what are you happy about?"

"TechnoAlpin." Xu Lang asked, "How is the matter with Li Lin?" ”

"What else, how can I have such a good blessing as you." Leng Tianbing replied, "Promise her not to take concubines and not have children, just let us and Xiaojun live like this." ”

"TechnoAlpin." Xu Lang smiled evilly, "Do you really want children or concubines?" ”

"I really want to have children." Leng Tianbing sat down a little disappointed, "Xiaojun is alone, who is not a lot of children in our Yulin Bay, don't you have two sons, don't you still want another daughter." Xiaojun also asked us why he didn't have a younger sibling. Sometimes the two of us are busy, so we can only leave Xiaojun at home alone, and only the maid accompanies him. ”

Xu Lang suddenly felt a little pitiful for Leng Tianbing: "Forget it, Tianbing, don't think about it." Xiaojun is also older, and in a few years he will marry a few more daughters-in-law and give birth to a bunch of grandchildren. ”

Leng Tianbing said with a smile: "How old is Xiaojun, he is only 12 years old this year, what kind of daughter-in-law to marry at such a young age." ”

Xu Lang suddenly thought of something: "TechnoAlpin, among the six children we crossed over together, in addition to Xiao Junzhe, there should be 16 years old." ”

"Yes." Leng Tianbing said, "There are two more 16s this year, and this time I will become a new member." ”

"Alas, they're all old, and we're old."

The two of them were chatting, and Han Wantao hurriedly ran back: "Thanks to you all leaving, hurry up and go to the joint command, Zheng Zhilong is here." ”

"Zheng Zhilong?" Xu Lang asked, "What is he doing at this time?" ”

"Not only him, but Zheng Chenggong is also here."

In the conference room of the committee building, 13-year-old Zheng Chenggong sat upright next to his father, and Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were greeting Zhang Guodong and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Zheng Zhilong clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Zheng has caused trouble for you again this time." Zheng sent 30 children, all of whom were personally selected by Zheng, all of whom were twelve or thirteen years old, hoping to study well with you in Yulin Bay. ”

"yes." Zheng Zhihu shouted, "My eldest brother also sent Fusong, and I hope you can take care of it more." ”

"Fusong, give these adults a salute." Zheng Zhilong instructed, "In the future, they will be your husband, you have to ask your husband for more advice." ”

"Fukumatsu has seen all of you." Zheng Chenggong stood up and was about to salute.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Zhang Guodong hurriedly stopped, "General Zheng, Ling Lang is a young talent, he will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future, and I may have to rely on Ling Lang in the future." ”

"Brother Zhang laughed."

Everyone chatted a few more words, and Zheng Zhilong asked, "Brother Zhang, I don't know how Brother Zhang wants to arrange these 30 children?" ”

He Yun, who was beside Zhang Guodong, replied: "General Zheng, we plan to let these children study in Yulinwan Academy for a year first to familiarize themselves with the environment here. After a year, they will choose their future direction, either to enter the military school, or to enter the Wanzhou Academy, or to study the imperial examination. These are still up to them to decide, I wonder what the general wants? ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled: "This is very good, Zheng Mou thank the old lady for worrying." ”

He Yun looked at Zheng Chenggong caressed: "Little boy, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"Back to the old lady." Zheng Chenggong stood up and replied respectfully, "The student has no plans at the moment, and everything is up to the old lady." It's just that when the student followed his father in Taiwan, he saw the warships and artillery in Yulin Bay, and the student admired this very much, and wanted to learn more about these things in the future. ”

"Don't worry, Childe, it's absolutely fine." Wang Hua also likes Zheng Chenggong very much, "Childe can study with Principal He for a year first, and after a year, my Yulinwan Military Academy will open the door to Childe." ”

"Thank you, sir, student." Zheng Chenggong didn't know Wang Hua's identity, so he casually called Mr.

Xu Lang whispered a few words in Zhang Guodong's ear, and Zhang Guodong asked Zheng Zhilong: "General, the residence of these children has been arranged below, and they are currently living in Yulinwan Academy. It's just that Ling Lang needs to be arranged separately? ”

"Mr. Hui." Zheng Chenggong replied first, "Students don't need to be arranged separately, students are here to ask Mr. for advice, and ask Mr. to treat them equally." ”

"Okay." Zhang Guodong nodded again and again, "The son's conduct is noble, and I admire him." ”

It was almost noon, and Zhang Guodong said: "The general has worked hard all the way, and today I will invite the general and all the children to the banquet, and we will talk about it at the banquet." ”

Zheng Zhilong replied: "I'm bothering Brother Zhang." ”

Yulin Bay Hotel was completely cleared, Dong Fei set up more than a dozen tables of wine banquets, 30 children were divided into 6 tables to sit, and He Yun found some children from the school to accompany each table, hoping to close the relationship between these children as soon as possible. Xu Lang deliberately arranged Feng Bin and Wang Chengen's two nephews, Wang Fanyi and Wang Fanxin, at the same table as Zheng Chenggong.

For a while, the adults all started drinking. The dozens of children also felt hungry and picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Feng Bin looked at Zheng Chenggong: "My name is Feng Bin, the two of them are my good friends, his name is Wang Fanyi, his name is Wang Fanxin, what is your name?" ”

Zheng Chenggong replied: "My name is Zheng Fusong. ”

Wang Fanxin probed and asked, "I heard that General Zheng Zhilong is your father?" ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded: "Exactly." ”

Wang Fanyi pointed at Feng Bin and said: "His father is a thousand households, your father is a general, and your father's official is bigger than his father." ”

Zheng Chenggong smiled and said: "I don't know much about my father's official position, but Fusong came to Yulin Bay to study, not to compare the size of an official." ”

"Okay, Zheng Fusong, that's a good point." Feng Bin patted Zheng Zhilong, "After eating later, we'll take you to the academy to have a look." There are a few words inscribed by Mr. Lu at the door of our school, and you can agree with it. ”

Zheng Chenggong replied, "Thank you, Brother Feng." ”

"Don't call me that." Feng Bin picked up the teacup, "Our school stipulates that you can't drink alcohol, so I'll replace it with tea." In the future, the four of us will be good friends, just call me Feng Bin. ”

Zheng Chenggong also picked up the teacup: "Then you can call me Fusong." ”

Children are children after all, and soon these 30 children will be familiar with the children of Yulinwan School.

Here, Zhang Guodong and others are also drinking with Zheng Zhilong. Sun Tianhao had just returned to the office and was thinking about the Qiong rendezvous, when he heard that Zheng Zhilong had come to Yulin Bay, so he put down his work and came to Yulin Bay Hotel. Now it's easier, and there is no need to send someone to Taiwan to find him.

It took Sun Tianhao a lot of effort to explain to Zheng Zhilong what the Qiong rendezvous was all about. Not only Zheng Zhilong, but also all the traversers present, except for Xu Lang, were taken aback, no one thought of this idea.

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while: "What does Sun Gongzi mean that Zheng only needs to transport Japanese goods to Qiongzhou, and naturally someone will come to buy them?" ”

"Exactly." Sun Tianhao replied, "Not only Japanese things, but things from anywhere can be shipped, let's just show them here." The general can not only sell things, but also buy things. And the general doesn't have to worry about the capacity, because what we show is only a sample, if someone is optimistic, they will naturally order with the general, and the general can trade directly. ”

"Big brother, that's good." Zheng Zhihu shouted first, "In this way, we don't have to look for merchants everywhere, as long as we transport things here, someone will naturally come to the door." ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't care about his younger brother's shouting: "Sun Gongzi, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, I don't know how much you have to charge?" ”

Sun Tianhao smiled and said: "The general is too worried, but we will not accept any goods that are traded at the Qiong Fair." ”

"Oh?" Zheng Zhilong was a little strange, "Didn't Zheng hear that the imperial court didn't collect industrial and commercial taxes in Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”

"That's from Qiongzhou." Sun Tianhao explained, "But all the production and transactions in Qiongzhou Mansion must be taxed, and those sold to Qiongzhou Mansion must be collected, all of which are worth 5 percent of 100 draws." But our Qiongzhou Fair is neither sold to or from Qiongzhou Mansion, but just an order fair, so no taxes are charged. ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't understand what the order meeting meant, but he didn't ask, because Sun Tianhao clearly said that no taxes would be charged, which made Zheng Zhilong's mind move: "Sun Gongzi, is your Qiong fair every day or only for a few days?" ”

Sun Tianhao really didn't think about this problem, the general order fairs and trade fairs are only a few days, and if there are them every day, it will become a shopping mall. But now that Zheng Zhilong asked, Sun Tianhao thought of another question, according to the current capacity, if this Qiong Fair is held at the end of the year, I am afraid that many commodities will not be able to be shipped. Yulinwan's own must be fine, and Zheng Zhilong's estimate is not much of a problem, but Wu Sangui's side, especially the Westerners' side, may have a big problem. When Xu Lang talked to Sun Tianhao about this Qiong Fair, he expressed a point of view, stimulating the economy of Yulin Bay is one thing, Xu Lang also hopes to use this Qiong Fair to introduce as many Western products as possible, so that European science and technology can stimulate the Ming Dynasty.

"This." Sun Tianhao hesitated, "We haven't finalized it yet. However, the general can rest assured that if the general wants to buy and sell in Qiongzhou for a long time, we can consider reducing the general's taxes. ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly: "Sun Gongzi, if Zheng heard correctly, Sun Gongzi just said the word Qiongzhou." Zheng dared to ask, if Zheng wants to do business in Qiongzhou Mansion or other states and counties, can you also reduce taxes in Yulin Bay? ”

Xu Lang immediately understood what Zheng Zhilong meant: "General rest assured, Qiongzhou is Yulin Bay, and Yulin Bay is Qiongzhou." ”

Zheng Zhilong's heart was not small, although he knew that this time Yulin Bay had fought against the Manchu Qing Dynasty again in Beijing, Jiang Beiming was already a second-rank official, and Xu Lang was also a third-rank general, but Yulinwan could control the entire Qiongzhou Mansion was something he never expected.

Zhang Guodong raised his glass: "General, it's not too late to discuss this matter slowly." In Xia Jing General for a cup, we will invite the general to visit the Yulin Bay School after dinner. ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Zheng Zhilong picked up his wine glass and asked, "Zheng is presumptuous, Zheng has prepared some gifts for Mr. Lu, why didn't I see Mr. Lu today." ”

The traversers at the table were all a little depressed when they heard Zheng Zhilong ask, and Xu Lang said, "Thank you for your concern, General." Lu is very old, and his health has not been very good these days, so he has not been able to accompany the general, and I hope the general will forgive him. ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "I hope the old man can take care of his health." Zhihu, let's go see the old man in time. ”

Lu Tianxiang is indeed not in good health these days, and it has been eight years since then, and Lu Tianxiang can be regarded as heartbroken for Yulin Bay. After all, he is nearly seventy years old, which is nothing in the next generation, but it is also considered a long life in the current Ming Dynasty. And the current medical conditions are incomparable with later generations, although they have been living in Xu Lang's house for half a year, and Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo have also taken good care of them, but the old man's health is obviously not as good as before, so this time Zheng Zhilong came to Yulin Bay Zhang Guodong did not ask him to accompany him.

After the banquet, Zhang Guodong, He Yun and others accompanied Zheng Zhilong and the children to Yulinwan School. He Yun has already ordered someone to clean up the residence of the thirty children, and it is still a dormitory for six people, three original children from Yulinwan and three new children. Zheng Chenggong lived in the same dormitory as Feng Bin, Wang Fanyi, and Wang Fanxin.
