That night, Miro stayed in the guest house of the Oriental Port, which was located in the Senate and was mainly for the emissaries of the indigenous powers or business representatives, and the Oriental Port Guest House, the prototype of the famous Senate Hotel, was only a small three-story house at this time, and Miro was arranged to stay in room 208 on the second floor.

The first floor of the guest house is mainly a place for the servants of the residents, and often a single room is basically a large bunk, which can arrange four to six people in one room, which is a bit similar to the youth hostel in the old time and space. However, these servants never complained, knowing that they often slept either on the floor or in the corridor when they were under their master, and there was nothing to complain about when they could still live in a room with a bed, not to mention a single toilet and 24-hour hot water for bathing.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is a better facility, the second floor is a total of twelve houses, although each room is still a single room, but there is only a 1.8 meter bed, although there is no Simmons spring bed or anything in this time and space, but every day there will be naturalized waiters to come to put these thick mattresses well, so that people feel very comfortable to fall asleep on it. With the arrival of summer, the mattress toppers have now begun to be replaced on the bed. A straw mat was laid underneath, and another layer of mats was placed on the upper floor, and Miro was sitting on the soft bed feeling the coolness brought by the mat.

Hou Yuan is not hateful, the cool ship hates the lonely secret

He has a very good impression of these mats, which are used more at sea, because it is not easy to build a bed on a rocking ship, and even his captain's living room is not an exaggerated bed, but a small bed made of wood with a width of one meter and two wide, which is easy to damage when it encounters big waves or something, and it also occupies too much space that is not large in the first place. In comparison, the mat is far more practical than the bed, even if it is a hammock that is easy to build, it needs a place to tie the rope, the mat can be spread on a place to sleep, compared to the stuffy and hot cabin, the aft building of the deck cargo hold, as long as it can be spread out in the place to sleep, and easy to clean, as long as you sleep carefully do not catch a cold, basically there will be no problem. Thinking of the cold, he couldn't help but touch the woolen blanket on the bed, this kind of woolen blanket that feels soft to the touch is light and thin, it is simply a good thing for home travel. I just don't know the price of the two things, you must know that the mat and the straw mat must be woven by hand, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the waste is not small, so the price of the mat is generally not cheap, let alone the wool blanket. But he was wrong about this, now the Oriental Port's mats and straw mats are all used to use special weaving machines to operate, as long as this side is fed in, the other side combs and starts to shake the handle, and now there is a special machine to make bamboo strips, so the output of mats in Dongfang Port at this time is very high, and there is enough output to produce straw hats. As for the wool blanket, the price is indeed several times higher, but compared with similar products in this time and space, the wool thread spun by the machine is not only smooth and solid, but also the feeling brought by contact with the skin is much higher than that of those handmade or simple mechanical wool blankets. Due to the production volume and production technology, these blankets are also much cheaper than other similar products in the plane. During this time, the merchants who bought fabrics in the port of the East saw the business opportunity of wool blankets, and the sales of wool blankets climbed like a rocket, so that the demand for wool in the spinning mills also went all the way. This led to the subsidy for the purchase of raw materials that Miro heard about when the delivery came, and the commerce department subsidized the merchants who transported the wool to the port of the East to increase their motivation to transport the wool.

However, Miro did not think about these things for long at this time, and immediately turned back to what he had seen and heard today. First of all, he remembered the hoisting equipment on the wharf, piles of bulk materials can be directly loaded into the container, directly loaded and unloaded through hoisting, which greatly improves the loading efficiency of the wharf. Not to mention those large flatbed trucks on the dock tracks, the goods are unloaded on them, and they can be pushed away directly and quickly, without having to move them to the warehouse all the time, even if they are transported by large carts, it is far slower than this kind of large flatbed trucks. Miro was full of thoughts at this time about whether to modify his ship, so that the next time he came to Dongfang Port to load goods, he could unload the goods faster Suddenly he was shocked, he was only the first time to return to Dongfang Port to buy goods, he had already been invisibly influenced by the Chinese, and the influence of the Chinese in the subtle was really a little unimaginable.

He soon remembered the kind of four-wheeled car that was called a Rolls-Royce, and on the way to the training base of the special reconnaissance team, he saw a lot of the same car, and there were also many modifications, such as six-wheeled, three-row two-row seats, and single-row seats, and some cars also had sheds on them, which made people feel more comfortable to shelter from the wind and rain. This kind of car is completely different from any kind of car he has seen before, not only can this kind of car not only walk without the traction of oxen and horses, nor do it need to be pushed by manpower, but only need people to constantly press the pedal on it, and can also control the speed of the vehicle through the stick on the driver's right hand. Although this kind of car has certain requirements for road requirements, as long as the road surface is well built, it can save a lot of manpower and do not need to waste animal power. Miro couldn't help but think of the fast-moving pilot boats in the harbor, and it seemed that the people on them were also constantly pedaling to move freely. The benefits of this car to the people of Medeno are not many, but the benefits of this kind of pilot boat are great, for example, when towing a large ship into the port, or quickly picking up people and goods from ship to ship. Of course, this kind of ship must also have shortcomings, that is, the ability to resist wind and waves must be very low, so the Chinese only use this kind of boat in the harbor. But these two uses alone can already play a great role, and Miro couldn't help but quietly make up his mind that when he saw Xiao Lihua tomorrow, he would ask him if he could buy a pilot boat to go back. But it doesn't matter if you can't buy it, it would be better if you could buy the design drawings of such a ship, and it doesn't matter if you spend a little more. Anyway, he still has to stay in the Oriental Port for a few more days, according to the discussion of the Executive Committee, the May Day military parade and the parade of naturalized people will be two days later, so simply let Miro stay here for two days, and wait until May Day to let him go up to the city tower with Nguyen Phuc Yuan and Ruan Ji to watch the military parade, and then it is good to show off the military strength of the Senate and the ability to manage the people in front of the natives.

"Princess, princess, look" A female officer quickly ran to the boat, sat beside Ruan Jiao, who was thinking nonsense, and gestured excitedly out of the window. "What's going on" Ruan Ji couldn't help but be stunned, this female official is usually relatively calm, why is she a little out of shape today

"The money horse is here outside" The female official was so excited that she stammered a little when she spoke, Ruan Ji was a little disapproving, "It's coming, it's coming, what's the big deal"

"There are a hundred people who came with him" "What" Now it was Ruan Jiao's turn to be startled, what are you doing with the soldiers of the new army This is the old area, and the naturalized people are not allowed to enter this area casually, not to mention that this group of recruits is not even a naturalized citizen at this time. With this question in mind, she couldn't help but walk quickly to the window. Outside the window was a group of New Army soldiers, a group of soldiers who were standing in a neat phalanx at the bottom of the guest house. In front of the phalanx were Cao Xiang and Qian Longzhou, and behind them were several officers from the army unit, all of whom had serious faces.

The princess noticed that all the soldiers of the new army did not carry rifles, except for Niu Jinxing and Ruan Wenyu, who were at the forefront, with a command knife hanging from their belts, all of them were neatly dressed, their belts were tied at the same height, their military caps were slightly tilted to the right, and all the soldiers held a torch in their right hands, under the light of more than 100 torches, the empty field of three or four acres in front of the guest house was brightly lit, and the only fly in the ointment was that with the arrival of summer, mosquitoes and moths were hovering nearby, Look for an opportunity to crash headfirst into one of these hundreds of torches.

However, it was clearly a solemn ritual, and even when the moth with the spark slammed into the faces and bodies of the solemn soldiers, they did not move at will, but continued to stand there in an upright position.

After the earth, the earth is not the sun, and the sun learns the secret from the yang side

Miro had noticed from the moment they approached the street, first the sound of neat footsteps, then the stream of torches that lit up the receive, and the New Army soldiers singing in unison, startled him as they walked through the gate into the empty space of the guest house. He is very aware of the existence of this new army, although the appearance rate of the new army is not high in intelligence, but the spy has also mentioned many times that there is an army in Zhancheng Port in addition to the army of Dongfang Port, and the current soldier wearing a big red uniform should be the legendary new army. It was mentioned in the intelligence that the Forces nouvelles were a princess's private army trained by officers provided by the Senate, and the level of training and morale of the Senate troops could be inferred from the training and morale of the Forces nouvelles. At first, he still believed in the arguments of his fellow intelligence officers that the Chinese were not good at fighting on the road if they were good at sea, but from the moment he saw the new army in the big red uniform entering the gate, he threw this rotation out of the clouds, such a neat pace even the most elite Maidno Marine Corps elite soldiers could not walk out, just walking can be so uniform, marching and fighting is naturally even more forbidden, not at all. The only thing he felt strange about now was that it was already dark on this day, why would there be a new army of troops marching into the senator's district, isn't this senator's area a naturalized person can't enter casually, how can this princess's private army come in, although there are indeed many veteran officers in front, but presumably this other people's private army can't be naturalized people

"Hello princess," Cao Xiang saw Ruan Jiao, who was walking down the stairs of the guest house with a long skirt slightly, so he walked quickly in front of her, nodded at her, and continued, "I'm sorry to be here at this time. However, we have a very important matter to deal with, please forgive the princess. ”

Ruan Yao nodded, in fact, she also guessed a rough idea, the Senate awarded her the honorary senator conditionally, Qian Longzhou also told her a few times in private about this matter, the first is to give up the ownership of the Champa Port Development Fund, and grant the right to use this fund to the Senate; The second is naturally the ownership of this new army, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, of course the Senate will not allow someone else's army to be stationed in the periphery of Dongfang Port for a long time, even if it just exists, it can't, since Ruan Ji is already a veteran at this time, then this Ruan Ji's private army naturally no longer belongs to the private establishment, it must belong to the Senate. Sure enough, Cao Xiang explained to her that tonight's events were no different from what she guessed, Cao Xiang was wearing a more formal suit at this time, and the elders had always dressed according to their own opinions, for example, Gu Qingqian and Cao Xiang liked to wear more formal small suits in the old time and space, while Daoist Bao liked to walk around in his Taoist robe, and he could often see a Taoist priest carrying a dusty hand directing several apprentices to operate measuring instruments. Fortunately, the princess herself also likes to wear trousers and Ao Dai, so she didn't feel anything unusual when she saw the trousers Cao Xiang was wearing at this time.

Cao Xiang saw that Ruan Jiao had no objections, so he stepped forward and handed over a document and a pencil, "Please take a closer look at the authorization documents of the Senate, if you have no opinions, you can sign it, but as long as you sign, then in the future, you will be the same patriarch as all of us, and you will no longer be Princess Annan." ”

Ruan Ji hesitated for a moment, took the document and looked at it blankly for a while, recalling in her mind the experience when she first saw Gu Qingqian walking into the princess's mansion with a group of elders in Zhancheng Port. She raised her head, her eyes swept over the bodies of several senators, and finally fixed on Qian Longzhou's body, the senator who was wearing the army uniform of the Senate at this time looked at her with a smile on his face. She couldn't help but recall the embarrassment of Qian Longzhou and her when the camp was attacked, and she couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart. She finally made up her mind, anyway, with her own strength, even if she has endless silver support, the new army still has to rely on the help of the Senate to have combat effectiveness, rather than herself and her father desperately fighting the rebels, it is better to become a senator, so that Annan's affairs will become the senate's affairs, and when the Senate recovers Annan, Annan will also have his own part. Thinking of this, Ruan Ji nodded firmly, took the pencil in Cao Xiang's hand, and signed her name at the signature of the document.
