Yang Wenli changed ships again, and the new ship was one of the two 2,000 ships that had returned from Liaodong and anchored in the port of Shanghai. Fu Ship is a large ocean-going ship, focusing on ride comfort, and there are three cabins above the deck alone, which is not found in other ship types, which is equivalent to a modern ocean-going cruise ship.

At this time, Yang Wenli was holding Xiao Yan'er to stand on the balcony of the VIP cabin of the second floor of the ship's cabin and look at the port of Shanghai, which was in the direction of the bow of the ship and had a wide field of vision.

Shanghai was only a town in the Ming Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Huating County, and was the most important trading port of the Ming Dynasty, replacing the former busiest port Qinglong Port, and its main function was to ship grain to Tianjin in the north to supplement the shortage of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang is not a foreign trade port, the early Ming Dynasty set up three major cities, just Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, after Jiajing removed Ningbo and Quanzhou, only Guangzhou, but Songjiang as the mouth of the Yangtze River, its status is still irreplaceable, since the Yuan Dynasty has been very prosperous, Yang Wenli saw thousands of large and small ships in the port, it is really a sail like a cloud, so not spectacular.

"Xianggong, Songjiang is so big!" Xiao Yan'er thought after reading it.

"How is it better than Nanjing?" Yang Wen deliberately teased her.

Nanjing City, Xiao Yan'er also took a few glances from a distance when passing by, the tall and majestic city wall, Songjiang Mansion is incomparable, and the population, commerce, port, etc. are far from being comparable to Songjiang, so she said honestly: "That's not as good as Nanjing"

"Huh! That's it! The size of a city has a lot to do with its location and political status. Songjiang is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and of course it is prosperous and densely populated. Yang Wenli explained to her with a smile. There is nothing to do every day, and it is also a pleasure to tease Xiaoyan'er.

At this time, he saw that the ships had been loaded with grain, vegetables, meat, fruits, charcoal, fresh water and other goods, and knew that the fleet was about to set sail, so he said to Xiao Yan'er: "Let's go, let's go to the cabin below, and later, someone will report to you and me." ”

Sure enough, immediately after that, the horn of the return team was blown, and the soldiers who controlled the situation in various important places in Shanghai Port withdrew to the ship alternately under the command of the soldiers, and everything seemed to be orderly and orderly.

As soon as Yang Wenli and Xiao Yan'er sat down in the lobby, Li Huaixuan came in to report to him.

"Big boss, the shopping has been successfully completed, we have purchased 20,000 stone of grain, 20,000 catties of various meat, 20,000 catties of vegetables and fruits, 10,000 catties of charcoal, 1,000 catties of salt, 10 petroleum ,...... The total cost is 120,000 taels of silver. (Note: Ancient stone is a unit of capacity)

Li Huaixuan read out the account book one by one, and finally reported the total cost.

"Hmmm! Mr. Li has worked hard, sit down! Sit down with a cup of tea and take a break. ”

"Come on, serve tea to Mr. Li."

Yang Wenli said politely with a pleasant face, and invited him to sit down and drink tea.

"Thank you, boss!" Li Huaixuan hurriedly thanked him before he sat down carefully, and only sat on half of his buttocks, and his posture was very respectful.

Yang Wenli's politeness is the reward of the superiors, and those who are subordinates must know the proportions, and they can't be pampered and coquettish, otherwise they don't know how to advance or retreat. Strictly speaking, Li Huaixuan is not a descendant of Yang Wenli, and he can't compare to those who control the general banner of the army.

Not long after, the fleet set sail, and the two chief flag officers, Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue, also came here to give orders.

"The big boss, the two subordinate brothers, fortunately did not disgrace their lives, completed the security work of this Songjiang shopping, did not cause a major riot to Shanghai Port, and did not kill a few officers and soldiers, and the public response was good."

This time it was not an occupation, and Yang Wenli did not have many bloodsheds and no achievements, so Yang Rentian's reports all had a retreating tone.

"Okay, good job, sit down and have a cup of tea!" Yang Wenli praised the two with a smile, and asked the two of them to sit down and drink tea.

But it didn't take long for the rumbling of cannons to be heard, and several people hurriedly walked outside the cabin to observe the situation, it turned out that the Chongming Navy fleet was firing cannons from afar.

Yang Wenli immediately laughed, needless to say, the Chongming sailors didn't dare to come up and pick up the tiger's whiskers, they fired the cannon to make a show, so as to give back to their superiors.

Therefore, Yang Wenli immediately ordered loudly: "Come on, order the fleet to ignore it and go straight to the open sea." ”

Yang Wenli's slave soldiers immediately waved the command flag and conveyed his order to the entire fleet at the right time, which was necessary to avoid misunderstanding and a real battle between the two sides.

The sailors of the Ming Dynasty have been sparse, the equipment is outdated, and the training is neglected, mainly because of the lack of funds, most of the taxes of the court are used for the border of the nine towns, and there are no strong enemies at sea, so the life of the sailors at this time is not very easy, only by collecting the taxes of merchant ships at sea, there is no time to train.

Yang Wenli's fleet has more than 100 ships, and most of them are warships and artillery, and the sailors estimate that they can't beat it, so they just make a show and deal with it, which is also in line with Yang Wenli's intentions.

Yang Jiajun has a fatal shortcoming, that is, he doesn't understand artillery, and the artillery on these warships is actually frightening, and few of them can be fired.

Loading artillery is a technical job, how much gunpowder to load so as not to explode, since Yang Wenli and below, no one knows, so those artillery that have been released, just let it be empty, purely a spectacle.

After crossing the sea area of Chongming Island, it entered the open sea, and the wind and waves increased suddenly, and the big ship was thrown up and down by the waves, like a toy.

This time it was not as calm as on the Yangtze River, and almost all the soldiers of the Yang family couldn't stand it anymore and began to vomit.

Of course, the one with the most harmful reaction was Xiao Yan'er, she vomited so much that she even vomited out her bile water, and Yang Wenli immediately ordered the slave soldiers to soak in brown sugar and ginger water.

"Yan'er, be optimistic, seasickness at sea is a normal phenomenon, just like you were seasick and vomiting when you first got on the boat, and it will be fine in two days." Yang Wenli was very heartbroken when he saw Xiao Yan'er's face pale and angry, he didn't care about avoiding suspicion, he held her in his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Xianggong, am I going to die? I'm sad to death. Xiao Yan'er looked up at him and asked him in a weak voice.

"Fool, no, just get used to it." Yang Wenli replied with a forced smile.

At this moment, the slave soldiers soaked brown sugar and ginger water, and Yang Wenli hurriedly took it and fed her personally. He blew a few breaths first, and then tried the temperature before feeding her and drinking: "Yan'er, drink some brown sugar water, it will be more comfortable." ”

Xiao Yan'er obediently drank two sips of brown sugar water, felt a little more comfortable, stopped drinking, and said to Yang Wenli: "I feel a little better."

"Don't talk, it's hurtful to speak, I'll know if you nod your head." Yang Wenli said to her gently.

"Hmm," Xiao Yan'er nodded lightly in response.

Seasickness is not a trivial matter, in ancient times, medicine was not developed, Xiao Yan'er was really in danger of life, everything could only depend on whether she could survive it.
