Daming Longxing five years of spring and March.

"After three years, the prosperity is still there!"

Zhu Yujian, the former commander of the Yunnan capital of the Ming Dynasty and the new envoy of the Tang Dynasty, stood on the deck of the battleship of the Yangtze River Naval Division, looking at the city of Nanjing, which was getting closer and closer, and sighed.

Of course, this is a bit of a shame.

In fact, Nanjing at this time and when he went to Yunnan three years ago to take up his post, there have been worlds of difference, even the city wall can not hide the rushing prosperity. Not to mention the famous outer ring road outside the city, which directly enters the field of vision, separated by a two-way four-lane green belt, and countless horse-drawn carriages gallop along the wide Sanhetu road lined with weeping willows, branching in all directions along this road. However, the vast majority still flock to the Shimonoseki Pier, which has even been fitted with a steam-powered boom, has been completely concreted. On both sides of the trestle bridge that extends to the middle of the river, passenger ships and cargo ships and even sea ships coming directly from the sea dock, bringing business travel from all directions to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, foreigners are not yet.

Merchants from both Europe and other countries can only live in various treaty ports, and they all have designated residential areas, such as Pudong in Shanghai, Zhoushan in Ningbo, Jiangxinzhou in Fuzhou, etc., and they must be accompanied by someone when they leave this range.

But it can't go out of the confines of this port.

For example, foreigners residing in Ningbo Customs are actually only allowed to enter Zhoushan County, not even Zhoushan Island, and Shanghai Customs is only allowed to enter Shanghai County, but they have to make a report when they go to Songjiang Prefecture. The territory to which these customs belong is not allowed to be reported, and violators will be beheaded for public display, unless they are state-level tribute envoys, they can come to Nanjing under the escort of Ming officials.

In addition, it is strictly forbidden to do anything unrelated to business in the place of residence, especially proselytizing, commercial espionage, etc., and once discovered, they will be arrested and beheaded for public display.

But there are special ones.

For example, there are still churches in Guangdong.

This is a problem left over from history, and the justice of the faith country is trying to solve it, although it is a bit unrealistic to let King Gui cooperate, after all, King Gui relies on the support of the Netherlands and Portugal, whether it is Protestantism or Catholicism, he is laissez-faire, but there is not a public means besides the public! If the missionary encounters a bandit and a thief and loses fire in the middle of the night, these are completely possible, and it is said that Jinyiwei has been allowed to enter Guangdong. Moreover, King Gui does not have the right to enforce the law against Jinyiwei, which means that Jinyiwei can only be handed over to Nanjing if he is arrested for murder in Guangdong, after all, the law enforcement of Jinyiwei belongs to the Nanzhen Fusi Department and not to local officials.

As for the issue of commercial espionage in Liangguang......

Those gentry are not stupid, they are very close to their good things, the Portuguese have been in Macao for hundreds of years, but the first time that Europeans have written records in history to enter the porcelain factory in Guangdong was when the old dog was perfect, and the secret of porcelain had already been leaked by Kang Mazi through the official kiln.

From this point of view, the Cantonese gentry are much more sober than Brother Ma.

After all, this is their source of finance.

As for black tea, it is even less likely to leak.

Because there is also no black tea production in Guangdong, the earliest black tea is Zhengshan Xiaozhong, Wuyi Mountain District, Fujian, and now the two Guangxi are exported to Europe or green tea, of course, green tea from Daming to Europe is estimated to be the same color as black tea. The owners of Fujian tea farms don't want to defend against Europeans, in fact, they guard against everyone, and even the black tea process that Yang Qing is currently promoting in various places is his own, and he provides technical principles and his own practice of tea making. After all, the key to this thing is a fermentation problem, so that Qi Hong and Yihong were born hundreds of years earlier, you must know that Qi Hong originally introduced technology from Fujian until the time of Yi Guifei in history, and Yihong also started in the era of Yi Guifei.

Look!

My own compatriots will have to be two hundred years from now!

The performance of Fujian tea farmers in this regard is still admirable.

But they didn't stop the Europeans.

Because these black tea varieties were all stolen by Europeans after the secrets of tea and began to grow tea in Assam, that is to say, the Europeans stole technology from Fujian, even earlier than other provinces in China introduced technology from Fujian themselves, I have to say that this is really sad!

"What's that?"

A middle-aged man beside Zhu Yujian looked at the flash in the air in the city and said suspiciously.

"That's the spire of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples, the first time the Duke of Qian came to Nanjing, just go over to see this new building, but it is better at night, there are new gas lamps there, and the whole Great Hall of the Four Peoples is illuminated all night as if it were day, especially in the summer, people like to play in the square there, and the hawkers who sell snacks can earn more than ten yuan a night."

Zhang Mingzhen on the side said.

He is now also a hereditary earl, and his official position is still that of the Yangtze River Naval Division, which commands the entire inland river fleet of the Ming Dynasty.

"Is it appropriate to be taller than Chengtianmen?"

Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, said expressionlessly.

"This is also to reflect what Yasheng said about the people, nobility and gentleness!"

Zhang Mingzhen said.

Well, Mu Tianbo has nothing to say!

Indeed, at the beginning, Yang Qing insisted on building the spire of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples higher than the Chengtianmen Tower, and when those ministers objected, Xin Guogong used these words to block it back. Your own Yasheng said that the people are noble and the monarch is light, so of course the Great Hall of the Four Peoples is higher than the Chengtianmen Tower, which represents the commanding height of the palace, is it not right what your Yasheng said?

Zhu Yujian didn't say much.

In fact, he also saw this building for the first time, he had been in Yunnan before, this Tang King is currently the highest position in the clan, Yunnan is the commander of the four militia armies in Yunnan, theoretically a single order can be called up to 100,000 troops. However, he is very self-aware, if this 100,000 army fights according to the orders of Xinguo Gong, he will naturally be obedient, but if he dares to use it against Xinguo Gong, I am afraid that he himself will command the staff officers of the envoy to cut him down first. Therefore, he stayed out of this struggle principle, and the escort envoy was not him, and the original escort appointed by Yang Qing was King Fu, after all, King Fu was the closest among the elders of Longxing Tianzi.

However......

The day after the letter of appointment was delivered to King Fu, the king fell from his horse and broke his leg!

Then Yang Qing had to be replaced by King Hui.

But the letter of appointment was not sent directly to the Huiwang Mansion in Jingzhou, Hubei, because the king has been ordained as a monk and officially became a monk, and the monks don't care about mundane things, everything in the past is gone with the wind, what kind of king, Longxing Tianzi Uncle and the like are all empty, and the poor monk's law is empty, the donor or please go back!

Then it can only be Zhu Yujian!

In fact, Zhu Yujian also thought about falling into the water or falling off a horse on the road, but in the end, he did not follow in the footsteps of the first two under Mu Tianbo's pleading.

Then he finally arrived in Nanjing safely.

The ship quickly approached a special military dock, where several wagons and a group of soldiers were already waiting for them, and after boarding these wagons, they headed straight for Zhengyangmen. After entering this city gate, it is followed by Hongwu Gate, but in the royal street in Hongwu Gate, the green insects encountered the routine parade of the streets, at this time there are as many as 60,000 green insects in the city of Nanjing, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, it is to pass the time by parading the streets. Not only in the city of Nanjing, but also in the cities around Nanjing, they are tirelessly making noise in this way, and at the same time they are teasing the bottom line of tolerance of millions of people in Yingtianfu.

After all, once is fresh, two or three times is more fun, and the consumption of these people has indeed stimulated business, but after dozens of times, they have completely become disgusted.

Who can stand this!

The daily parade is endless!

You don't bother us, you have nothing to do when you are full, we still have to support our families, every day this road is blocked or that road is closed, and now even prostitutes are annoying them.

After all, the vast majority of them are poor talents.

Although they have behind-the-scenes funding, but those behind-the-scenes funders, they will definitely not fund them to be merry, after the initial lavishment, the vast majority of green worms have begun to play their mouth cannon methods, just like many male protagonists in the city rely on those infatuated women to live. But that's inside, in reality, it's so stupid that it's like a rarity, and even if the young man in it spends the money of a prostitute, he still has a future, but these green worms have a fart!

However, it was the first time that Tang Wang and Qianguo Gong saw this new iconic landscape of Nanjing.

"After all, there are still many loyal people in the Ming Dynasty!"

Mu Tianbo, who deliberately stepped out of the carriage, stood beside the carriage and looked at the aspiring young man walking in front of him with satisfaction.

Tang Wang was also a little moved.

He didn't expect that now that the Zhu family is still so popular with the people, the situation is not too bad, the people still haven't forgotten the Zhu family, and the Ming dynasty is still stable......

"Qianguo Gong!"

Suddenly, a scholar shouted in surprise in a Yunnan accent.

"It's the Duke of Qianguo!"

"That's King Tang!"

……

This was followed by more shouts of surprise.

Then nearly 100 Yunnan Xiucai who happened to pass by immediately surrounded them, and the soldiers who were guarding just wanted to stop but were stopped by Mu Tianbo, and Zhang Mingzhen ran to the soldiers to hide very sensibly.

"You can be so loyal, Mu Tianbo feels a lot!"

Mu Tianbo smiled with a smile.

"Qianguo Gong rest assured, even if the students and others die, they will repay the grace of the Ming Dynasty, and they will never let those chaotic ministers and thieves ruin the three hundred years of Taizu's society!"

A green worm said righteously.

"Yes, don't worry about King Tang, don't worry about Qianguogong, we 100,000 scholars gather in Nanjing to see who dares to touch His Majesty's country!"

Another green worm shouted.

Then the green worms shouted.

Mu Tianbo looked at them with a relieved smile on his face......

"That, Qianguo Gong, it's just that it's not easy to live in Migui in Nanjing, and the students are now empty, can you please borrow some temporarily?"

Suddenly, a voice woke him up.

"Well, that's easy to say!"

Mu Tianbo stretched out his hand briskly, and the house slave next to him hurriedly handed over a money bag, and before he could take out the money inside, he heard a buzz around him like a frightened swarm of bees, and countless cheers sounded, and then his world turned blue......
