Zhang Zhijie also knew that Xu Jiaying was worried, and it seemed that everyone would be worried when they knew, and they all had a preconceived fear of the sea. I think the sea is full of demons and monsters!

There was no way, Zhang Zhijie could only comfort him carefully, explained what he had explained to Emperor Zhengde and the master, and said it again.

In the end, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "Don't worry, I also decided this matter after careful consideration, how can I not cherish my life, I have parents, wives and children, how can I rest assured!" ”

In the end, the dry mouth finally persuaded them, and Zhang Zhijie comforted Xu Jiaying affectionately at night.

Early the next morning, when Zhang Zhijie came to the upper room, the old man had already gone out, and Zhang Zhijie entered the house with a smile.

Madame glared at Zhang Zhijie and said angrily: "Come here!" ”

Zhang Zhijie walked over honestly, and his wife sighed: "I won't stop you if you are determined to go to sea, although what you said is very stable, but after all, overseas is not as safe as land, you must be well prepared, don't be careless!" ”

The mother of the child was worried, Zhang Zhijie listened carefully to his wife's nagging, and all agreed. Xu Jiaying: That's why they packed up for Zhang Zhijie.

Zhang Zhijie also attached great importance to going to sea this time, and brought the elites who participated in the naval battle with him south last time, and equipped them with arquebuses.

Before leaving Beijing, Zhang Zhijie sent a letter to Wu Zhongcheng in Yangzhou, talking about the establishment of a commercial bank. Although Zhang Zhijie has decided to set up a commercial bank, Zhang Zhijie will focus more on the sea after all, and there is still a lack of a person to take care of the commercial bank on land, so Zhang Zhijie set his sights on Wu Zhongcheng.

Zhang Zhijie bid farewell to Emperor Zhengde, led his cronies to leave Beijing and arrived in Tianjin, and then went south by warship to Ningbo and Quanzhou, and he had invited Wu Zhongcheng to Quanzhou for a while.

In the past two years, Wu Zhongcheng sent people to take care of the goods that went to sea with the ship, in fact, he had already had the idea of forming a trading house. After all, it's just a little too rough with the fleet.

Therefore, after Wu Zhongcheng received Zhang Zhijie's reply, he immediately set off from Yangzhou to Quanzhou. When Zhang Zhijie arrived in Quanzhou, Wu Zhongcheng also came to Quanzhou.

In the past two years, the two have often corresponded and become more and more familiar, but they don't have time to meet. After Zhang Zhijie arrived in Quanzhou, he immediately invited Wu Zhongcheng to live in Laiyuanyi. It was also in this way that Zhang Zhijie knew that Wu Zhongcheng not only came by himself, but also his wife and daughter followed.

Wu Zhongcheng planned to buy a mansion here as a place to stay, after all, according to Zhang Zhijie's words, the business of the commercial house in the future may far exceed his salt transportation business, and his energy will be more focused on the commercial house in the future.

Now that Miss Wu has become a big girl, she looks quiet and gentle when she sees Zhang Zhijie's gentle salute. Qiaoqiao girl looks petite and delicate, gentle as water, but has the style of a Jiangnan girl.

After so much time has passed, Zhang Zhijie finally no longer feels embarrassed, and after arranging a place for Wu Zhongcheng to live, Zhang Zhijie took Wu Zhongcheng to the living room to talk.

Since he wants to set up a commercial bank, Zhang Zhijie really needs a knowledgeable person to take care of the commercial bank, and Zhang Zhijie has thought about it for a while, and there is no doubt that Wu Zhongcheng is the most suitable. I didn't expect Wu Zhongcheng to come so happily.

The two chatted for a long time and had a good conversation. After sending Wu Zhongcheng away, Zhang Zhijie breathed a long sigh of relief, since Wu Zhongcheng happily agreed, then Zhang Zhijie is outside the main house, Wu Zhongcheng is inside, I believe that the business bank will definitely flourish.

Now that the goods are ready to go to sea this time, it is time to go to sea next. Nowadays, the ships of Quanzhou port come and go, very busy, there are often fleets set sail, Quanzhou people are not fresh about this.

Only those merchants from other places will feel new about this, like Wu Qiaoqiao, the first time she saw the sea, and saw the magnificent scene of the mighty fleet going to sea, she opened her mouth in surprise.

Compared with the prosperity and sophistication of Yangzhou, it seems to be another world, busy and vibrant, as if everywhere is full of wealth. Then, two years ago, it was just an obscure coastal town.

It was because of the arrival of one man that completely changed the place, as if the whole city was filled with his breath. When Wu Qiaoqiao was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly came to the harbor with the brocade guards escorting the carriage.

Wu Qiaoqiao leaned out of the carriage and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Hey, Admiral Zhang! ”

Jin Yiwei heard this coquettish shout and looked sideways, Zhang Zhijie lifted the curtain and saw that it was Qiaoqiao girl.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhang Zhijie approached and smiled: "Qiaoqiao girl, why are you here?" ”

Qiaoqiao girl jumped off with a smile and said with a smile: "It's boring to be in Huaiyuanyi all the time, so I'll come out and take a look!" I haven't seen the sea yet! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The first time I saw the sea, it was indeed spectacular, but I got used to it after seeing more!" ”

Qiaoqiao girl smiled: "It's still very novel, Admiral Zhang, are you going to do this?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The fleet is about to go to sea, I'll go on patrol and take a look!" ”

Miss Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "Admiral Zhang, do you want to go to the ship?" Can I follow along? ”

Zhang Zhijie suddenly felt embarrassed when he heard this, there was nothing on the boat that could not be seen, but Qiaoqiao girl was an unmarried girl from Yunying's family, and it was a little inappropriate for Zhang Zhijie to take her on the boat!

But after all, Miss Qiaoqiao is Wu Zhongcheng's pearl, and if she refuses directly, it seems a little unkind.

Although Zhang Zhijie did not refuse, Miss Qiaoqiao also saw his hesitation, and couldn't help but say with a slightly gloomy face: "Are there any secrets on the ship?" Am I embarrassing Admiral Zhang? ”

Zhang Zhijie hurriedly explained: "That's not it, it's just that the girl Yunying is not married, and I'm afraid it will damage the girl's reputation." ”

Qiaoqiao's face was slightly red, and she muttered: "Admiral Zhang, you don't know, people already have a place in their hearts." ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help choking when he heard this, he thought it was a whim of being a little girl, but he didn't expect to remember it now.

Qiaoqiao girl glanced at Zhang Zhijie quickly, and said softly: "Admiral Zhang, don't you think it's okay?" I'm really curious about big ships! ”

It's really hard to refuse, Zhang Zhijie had no choice but to nod and say, "That, okay!" Get in the carriage and come with me! Thinking of the public confession of Qiaoqiao girl, this doesn't seem to be an outrageous thing.

Zhang Zhijie turned around and got into the carriage, but a delicate figure had already entered the carriage, and Zhang Zhijie was stunned.
