Time flies!

In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer!

Gu Zhong found an old sailor from Songjiang Mansion who had traveled to Vietnam many times, his name was Lu Hai, who looked to be in his forties, and his face was dark and had a bit of vicissitudes.

"As soon as I heard your name, I had a relationship with the sea, Lu Hai, Lu Hai!" Su Baiyi held Lu Hai's hand and said jokingly: "You dare to stroke even the sea, who else will you be the sailors of the world?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain has seen the governor, and the villain has met Ping Dongbo!" Lu Hai respectfully knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times to Su Baiyi, and stood up and swore to the sky: "I am Gu Zhong's brother, and this life will be an adult's in the future, as long as the adult is sent, his subordinates will not hesitate to do anything in the water and fire!" ”

"Good, good!" Su Baiyi said: "Let's change your name first, Lu Hai is not domineering enough, from today on, your name is Lu Hai, and Lu Hai is the ......" Su Baiyi pondered for a long time: "That's it, roll up your sleeves, yes, roll up your sleeves, roll up your sleeves and work hard, you don't have to roll up your sleeves, you will be called Yang Hai in the future!" ”

"Lord Xie, thank you for the name!" The kowtow of a thousand thanks.

What Su Baiyi didn't expect was that it was because of his momentary preference that he added another surname to Zhonghua Minzi!

In addition to the sea, Gu Zhong also found more than a dozen sailors who had worked on the sea.

In addition, the approval of Honglu Temple also reached the Guide Mansion, and they got a batch of official documents, but they didn't send anyone! gave Su Baiyi the space to give full play to his freedom.

I don't know if there is no one to choose from, or if the people from Honglu Temple have other ideas.

None of this matters anyway, the important thing is that all the formalities have been completed, the imperial court has approved, and the people have it, so the date of setting sail for Vietnam can be set.

In addition to Gu Zhong, the envoys selected by Su Baiyi also included his disciples Hou Fangyu, Xu Xiake, and the remaining five or six students.

Hou Fangyu doesn't look at people as small, he has a lot of eyes, he is used to living in a big family, and his skills in dealing with people are no worse than those in their twenties.

Of course, after a long journey to Annan Road, Su Baiyi cared about this disciple, and specially distributed ten Jinyi guards to him as bodyguards, and other items and materials were readily available.

Divided into two large ships, flying the official flag of the Ming Dynasty, carrying people and full of friendly gifts such as glass, soap, and perfume, they anchored from the Yellow River north of Guide Province and sailed east towards the sea.

At the beginning of the Ming voyage, from the entry of the two ships led by Hou Fangyu and Gu Zhong who did not even have a number, a vigorous battle for sea power in the Ming Dynasty officially kicked off.

As time went on, something else got closer.

Auction!

The auction was originally scheduled to be held on the 26th day of the fifth lunar month, but on the 20th, there were heroes, merchants, and nobles from all over the country who rushed to the auction, and immediately crowded the entire post station in Guide Province, not to mention the entire hotel in Guide Province.

However, most of the nobles with heads and faces still live in the homes of the local heroes and scholars in Guide Province.

It's still too low to be able to afford a luxury hotel, and the real high is for those who can find a friend's house to live in wherever they go, which is the real acquaintance all over the world.

"Little nephew Broad & Bright has seen Mr. Su!" Zhang Zhiji's sister-in-law, Zhang Shize, personally came over from Beijing to participate in the auction, which made Su Baiyi a little flattered.

"And me, sir!" Zhang Zhiji's youngest daughter Zhang Luo suddenly jumped out from behind Zhang Shize and wanted to scare Su Baiyi, but when she saw Su Baiyi's calm face, she suddenly felt very bored, and pouted: "It's boring!" ”

Su Baiyi chuckled, and then bowed to Zhang Shize: "The prince is really tormenting Su!" "Zhang Shize is Zhang Zhiji's son, although he is not the eldest son, he is at least forty years old.

When the forty-year-old saw Su Baiyi calling himself a little nephew and saluting respectfully, Su Baiyi couldn't laugh or cry.

The most important thing is that this Zhang Broad & Bright himself is still a British prince!

Since then, it has inherited the existence of the knighthood.

Guogong, he is tens of thousands of times older than him, the earl!

"No!" Zhang Shize told Su Baiyi very seriously, "Before I came, my father made a special trip to tell my little nephew, saying that he and Mr. Su had an equal relationship, and my sister Zhang Luo was a disciple of Mr. again, and Mr. was naturally the elder of the little nephew!" ”

Su Baiyi could only smile bitterly and bring the visiting guests into the house, no way, you see Zhang Shize, who was born in the Guogong Mansion or the prince, seeing that he was so polite (cheeky), he shouted a little nephew, affectionately so that people who don't know think that he is really Su Baiyi's nephew.

"Last time, Su asked the British public for something, and I haven't thanked you yet!" After introducing Zhang Shize into the living room of the third courtyard, Su Baiyi asked Zhang Zhiji if he had helped him with his errands.

Zhang Shize smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, there are such good things, those nobles have not broken their heads and come to you." Not to mention anything else, I and the prince of Wei, Chengguo, Dingguo, Qianguo, and the prince of Baoguo, they all wear a pair of pants, I call them, can they dare to come? ”

What kind of person is really dating someone!

Su Baiyi despised it in his heart, it seems that these are a bunch of gentlemen.

Yes, in the Ming Dynasty, these people belong to a special existence.

The treatment of the princes of the six major countries is even better than that of the vassal kings, not only can they maintain the glory and glory of the hereditary lineage, but also almost every prince has real power, some are officials in the court, and some lead troops outside, which is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang's own children and grandchildren who eat all day long and wait for death.

Of course, they do not have to participate in the imperial examinations and do not belong to the civil official group.

But the status is indeed transcendent, even the previous dynasty is the leading master, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to exist head-on when he was in power, and the emperor did not dare to provoke easily.

These people are certainly not short of money.

"That's right!" Zhang Shize took a deep breath, got up from his seat and leaned over to Su Baiyi's side, and said: "Ping Dongbo may not know that the eldest son of my British Duke is the elder brother of Broad & Bright, only because my brother has had a foot disease since he was a child and has not been able to inherit the title, so it is my turn to be the son of this world, Zhang Broad & Bright, and Broad & Bright feels guilty, so I also want to buy a share of the railway to give to my brother, and I hope that Mr. Su will be fulfilled!" ”

"Oh......" Su Baiyi heard about this for the first time, but he only smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome, if the prince can participate in the singing and selling, it will be an honor for someone Su." ”

"This ......" Zhang Shize looked embarrassed: "Mr. may not understand what the little nephew means, since there are no outsiders, Mr. will give me a share, but the little nephew is too lazy to participate in the singing and selling of Na Laoshizi!" ”

Su Baiyi snorted coldly in his heart!

What is too lazy to participate, it is clear that he is proud of his noble status, and he disdains to earn money with those businessmen in the singing market.

Afraid that Su Baiyi would misunderstand, Zhang Shize said very seriously: "In terms of price, Mr. Su can rest assured, when the time comes, after the results of the singing and selling are released, my Zhang family is willing to buy it at the highest price." ”

"Shizi's request is a little late!" Su Baiyi spread his hands and said: "Su's leaflets have been distributed to all state capitals across the country, obviously there are thirteen railway shares auctioned, and now if you are given one share, there are still twelve shares left, let me explain to the people of the world." Does the prince know that although I am the host of this singing and selling party, if I go back on my word and have no faith, I will lose the face of the heavenly family, how can Su Baiyi dare to discredit the heavenly family? ”

"This, that's the little nephew's thoughtlessness!" Zhang Shize didn't get too entangled, and arched his hand and said: "In this way, you won't cause trouble to Mr. Su!" ”

"No problem!" Su Baiyi said with a smile: "As long as the prince understands, it is better than anything else." By the way, if the prince believes me Su, listen to me, the sooner you buy railway shares, the better, and it's best to start at the first singing and selling meeting! ”

"Thank you Suzi for your advice!"

Zhang Shize naturally didn't know why Su Baiyi said this, and he didn't ask why the auction was divided into the first and second sessions, and said with some flattery, "Mr. Su, there is something I think I want to tell you." ”

"Please advise!"

"Don't dare!" Zhang Shize said: "Among the six major mansions that you came to this time, there is one person you should pay attention to!" ”

"Who?"

"Prince Baoguo, Zhu Guobi!" Zhang Shize said: "Speaking of this Baoguo Gong, or Mr. Su, your hometown, his ancestor Zhu Yong is a native of Xiayi, Henan, and was named the Duke of the Kingdom during the Chenghua period because of his repeated military exploits. Isn't there a revival society in Suzhou now? Zhu Guobi was not small, he went to Suzhou to eat, drink and have fun, and the relationship with the scholars in the Fu Society was extraordinary. ”

"Restoration!"

Su Baiyi's brows furrowed, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Now there is a place for Wen Zhenmeng in the cabinet, Wen Zhenmeng himself is the leader of the entire Restoration Society, the last time they met by chance in Fengyang Mansion, the invitation to Su Baiyi to join the Restoration Society was refused, and later in Beijing Su Baiyi slapped them in the face again. It can be said that Su Baiyi and Fushe can't pee in a pot at all.

The last time the ship on the Bohai Sea was burned, it ended with the inexplicable death of the country's son's sacrificial wine, the squire of the military department, and the general political envoy, but Su Baiyi was very suspicious that the biggest promoter behind it was Wen Zhenmeng.

"That's right, it's the Restoration Society!" Zhang Shize said: "When Zhu Guobi came, he brought a few people from the Fu Society, and I heard that Mr. Su also knew him, one named Mao Xiang, and one Chen Zhenhui. ”

This is a mess coming!

Su Baiyi sneered in his heart: Guide Mansion is my home field, and the share auction meeting for the construction of the railway is fortunately well prepared, so I am not afraid of any moths. If you really provoke me, don't blame the old man for being ruthless.

Assassination of such a thing!

If you can do the first year of junior high school, Lao Tzu can do fifteen!

However, in order to ensure the smooth convening and conclusion of the entire auction, Su Baiyi had to transfer Li Suo over, recruit and transfer the Jinyi Guard of Kaifeng Mansion, and temporarily set up a security team of about 200 people!

Everything is set up and the auction has finally begun!
