The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, the moon is as big as a plate, hanging high in the lonely cold sky, illuminating the four fields like day.

At the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the ferry port outside Hangzhou City, under the illumination of the bright moonlight, the waves are rippling, which is particularly quiet and beautiful.

Whoa, whoa, whoa......

Suddenly there was a sound of paddling on the misty river, the sound became louder and louder, and a large black shadow suddenly appeared on the river surface at night, which came slowly, covering the entire river surface, and there was no slightest wave of light.

In the distance, dozens of zhang long boats came down the water, sails were waving in the night sky, and the big sun and moon flags were hunting and waving in the wind.

The sail shadow came all over the river, stretching for dozens of miles, and there were more than 200 big ships, which were Qin Haoming's fleet from Texas.

On the boat at the front, Qin Haoming and Li Xiang, the general of the army's personal guards, were fully armored, wearing a red coat, facing the river breeze, looking at the wharf that was about to arrive hundreds of meters away - Hangzhou Wharf.

As the boats got closer and closer, the ferry pier in front of them was clearly visible in the bright moonlight.

On both sides of the ferry, Cao Ding, who was holding a spear and waist knife, was in two rows and was responsible for maintaining order on the river.

On the dock, an official with a white beard, wearing an official hat and a scarlet official robe, stood solemnly. Behind him, led by Zheng Zhilong and Governor Caoyun, there were officials large and small.

The governor of Hangzhou and the governor of Caoyun, together with Zheng Zhilong, who came from afar, personally led a group of officials to the dock overnight to greet them!

Behind them were countless chariots and horses, as well as nearly a thousand people, which stretched endlessly to the gates of the city.

This is the work done in advance by the people organized by the Hangzhou government in order to help them transfer the supplies to the Zheng family's sea boat.

Today, Qin Haoming's prestige and the favor of the Son of Heaven have resounded throughout the Ming Dynasty. Especially that he is from Jiangnan, which makes Jiangnan officialdom cheer and feel proud.

The boat slowly docked and anchored, the side of the ship immediately put on the deck, Qin Haoming and a group of guards quickly disembarked, and under the introduction of the governor of Hangzhou, they greeted and knew the officials of Hangzhou.

This is the same process of officialdom for thousands of years, and it is not enough!

The next thing is simple, all the officials wear the stars and the moon, not to carry goods, nor to be diligent in official work, these are naturally handled by the officials below.

The reason why he was hungry and did not accompany his family during the Mid-Autumn Festival was to drink with the famous young governor and establish a personal relationship in advance in case of emergency.

Otherwise, there is no use and meaning, who of these officials wants to do it?

In a courteous compliment, Qin Haoming, who had just disembarked, boarded the lake boat again with the Hangzhou officials, and went straight to the Qiantang River along the canal.

The land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been rich since ancient times, especially the city of Hangzhou.

The war of the Ming Dynasty did not affect the city for half a minute at this time, so when the boat sailed to the Su Causeway, you could see the people singing together, which was like the daytime, and they invited each other with moon cakes to take the righteousness of reunion.

As for the prince and grandson, the rich family and the giant family, they all climb the tall building, enjoy the moon and the moon in Linxuan, or open the wide pavilion, the tortoise feast is listed, the piano is sonorous, and the wine is sung.

On the ship, the high-ranking officials of the entire Hangzhou City gathered, and the banquet of dozens of people was extremely extravagant and luxurious, crowded with people, and the sound of silk and bamboo was always mixed with the sound of sycophants, which kept lingering in Qin Haoming's ears.

As a guest, Qin Haoming always smiled at the endless stream of Hangzhou toasting officials, and according to their official positions, they either drank it all or stopped talking.

Tonight's banquet can be described as a real people's fat and people's anointing. If every official present relied on them to make a living, they might not be able to buy it for a few years.

But so what?

This is not his territory, flipping the table and leaving, or facing each other with a cold face, or scolding angrily?

Immature! Isn't this a shameless and futile effort?

The Hangzhou officials' fists are kind-hearted, and you are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and you really think that you are the first person in the world?

Not to mention anything else, eating, drinking, and lodging are all painstakingly arranged, what else is not satisfied?

Therefore, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and if you want to play prestige, you can return to your own territory.

It's night, the sky is empty, the clouds are beginning to disperse, the cup is washed, the vocal music is noisy, and the so-called festival is also.

In the city of Hangzhou, it is a medium family, and they also go to the small platform, arrange family banquets, and gather children to reward the festival.

Although the people in the alleys are poor, they are reluctant to welcome the joy and refuse to waste it. This night the street sells and buys, until the five drums, playing the moon tourists, the mother-in-law is in the city, until dawn.

At noon on the second day, all the supplies and more than 5,000 soldiers were transferred to the Zheng Jiahai ship, and Zheng Zhilong led the fleet along the coastline of the East China Sea to Fuzhou City.

Qin Haoming, on the other hand, planned to stay in Hangzhou for a few days, taking the fifty sea ships left by the Zheng family and waiting for the Quartet to gather in Hangzhou.

The first to arrive was Taizhou Lu Boyu, with his mother and more than ten brothers in the clan, under the escort of the soldiers in the army, the first to arrive in Hangzhou City three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As soon as he entered the city, he was intercepted by Qin Haoming's personal guards who were waiting around the city gate and taken to the rich family courtyard arranged by the Hangzhou government.

"Boyu, go out for a walk and see the thousand-year-old capital."

Lu Boyu arranged his family, and as soon as he came to the east wing where Qin Haoming lived, he was pulled out to see the scenery.

Qin Haoming stayed in Hangzhou City for three days, and he didn't go anywhere, except for the wine banquet or the wine banquet every day, he was bored for a long time.

Now that Lu Xinrong has arrived, of course, he has to walk around and appreciate the customs of the capital of Wuyue.

The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy. If the West Lake is compared to the West, it is always appropriate to wipe it lightly.

Su Bai two embankments, willows are still around, the water is rippling, the smoke waves are misty, the painting boats on the lake come and go, just like the Qinhuai River is as romantic and lively, the distance is the mountain is empty, the green and green are green, the beautiful scenery is like this, like paradise.

Qin Haoming and Lu Xinrong walked on the shore of Xizi Lake with three or five personal guards, admiring the beautiful lakes and mountains like Xizi, and listening to the unique Wu Nong's soft words, so they were not free and easy.

After visiting for half a day, it was already the middle of the day, Qin Haoming chose a nearby restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, asked for a pot of good wine and a private room, and invited Lu Xinrong to drink together.

Gentle and windy, Qin Haoming tasted the exquisite wine and food on the table with ease, and only felt that the dishes of Suzhou and Hangzhou were very different from Fujian cuisine.

In particular, the West Lake vinegar fish, its fish meat is tender, with crab flavor, fresh and tender, sweet and sour, and it tastes unique.

This shop is not big, but because it is close to the West Lake, and the price is reasonable, it is rich and frugal, and there are many dishes.

There are not only delicate and delicious West Lake vinegar fish, but also large pieces of cooked mutton and dog meat, so the business is excellent and almost full.

"Hey, Boyu, why are you so worried, what happened?"
