Fu Xiaojian was surprised to find: "Master, there is a light in front, it seems to be the gate of the city!" ”

Zheng Zhilong urged the horse to take two steps, and his horse's head approached Zhu Youzhen's horse's tail, "Master, my subordinates just sent their own soldiers to notify the defenders in the city and let them wait at the city gate!" After thinking about it, he added: "Now the official government has not been officially established in the city, the soldiers temporarily maintain order in the city, once the official government is officially operated, the subordinate departments will be withdrawn to Siwu!" ”

"Zhilong has a heart," Zhu Youzhen praised him, and then asked, "Does Chen Da know?" ”

"Without the permission of the master, the subordinates dare not make their own decisions," Zheng Zhilong clasped his fists with both hands and saluted to Zhu Youzhen, "Master, the subordinates asked the soldiers to prepare meals, and the master has just entered Kuching, so he will stay in the barracks at night!" ”

"Well," Zhu Youjian approached the lights at the city gate, and he slowed down his horse, "Zhilong, since the master has already entered the city, there is no need to conceal it anymore, let him wait at the yamen tomorrow." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Zhu Youzhen thought to himself, tomorrow he will meet with the governor of Lanzhu Province, and it would be good for him to prepare first in the evening.

"Yes!" Zheng Zhilong agreed, looked back and asked the two soldiers who followed him to take the lead in entering the city to inform Chen Da, and by the way, let the soldiers at the city gate come to answer.

In the blink of an eye, the lights at the city gate flickered, and the soldiers guarding the city were already carrying lanterns and came to welcome Zhu Youzhen into the city.

The military camp is in the southeast corner of the city, less than two miles away from the city gate, Zhu Youzhen, under the guidance of Zheng Zhilong, entered the Nanjian house in the center of the barracks, Wang Mujiu's personal soldiers immediately controlled this house, even Zheng Zhilong's personal soldiers were not allowed to trespass, Fu Xiaojian only followed Zhu Youzhen's side, and easily did not dare to leave three steps away.

After dawn, Zhu Youzhen had just finished washing up and was having breakfast with Wang Mujiu and Zheng Zhilong, when suddenly the shouts of his own soldiers came.

"What's going on?" Wang Mujiu looked at Zheng Zhilong.

"Master, Wang Junzuo, I'll take a look!" Zheng Zhilong was relieved, and quickly came to the place where the voice came from, "This is the military camp, who dares to mess around here?" ”

A middle-aged man in a gray robe with dark skin was blocked out of the barracks by Wang Mujiu's own soldiers, pacing around with his hands crossed, and when he saw Zheng Zhilong, as if he had seen a rescue, he opened his right hand, "Commander Zheng, is Lord Qincha here?" ”

"So it's Lord Chen?" Zheng Zhilong grinned, "Lord Chen came early enough, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Lord Qincha!" He didn't know if he could mobilize Wang Mujiu's personal soldiers, so let Wang Mujiu come directly.

"That'...... Commander Zheng go and report, I'll wait here! Chen Da bowed down to Zheng Zhilong, hoping that Zheng Zhilong would report quickly.

Zheng Zhilong returned to the dining table, "Master, it's Chen Da, he's here to see Lord Qincha." ”

"Oh? Coming so early? Since he is here, let him in! Zhu Youzhen nodded to Wang Mujiu, Wang Mujiu whispered a few words to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers quickly brought Chen Da outside.

"Lord Chen, this is Lord Qincha and Wang Mujiu, the commander of the First Royal Army! The...... This deputy envoy of the Qincha and staff officer of the First Royal Army Wang Xin. Since Zhu Youzhen himself is willing to be the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, Zheng Zhilong naturally wants to introduce Wang Mujiu first.

"The grass people knock on the two Chincha lords!" Chen Da knelt down, he muttered in his heart, why are these two Qincha masters from the army? Are they here to patrol the South China Sea Fleet? No wonder he didn't know the message of the Chin Cha.

"Get up," Zhu Youzhen's gaze swept around the back of Chen Da's head, "Lord Chen is already the governor of Lanzhu Province and a registered official of the Ming Dynasty, why do you still call yourself a grass citizen?" ”

"Ah......" Chen Da stood up and smiled, "Grass people...... The lower officials are used to it, they are used to it, thank you for the reminder! ”

Zheng Zhilong saw that Chen Da was a little embarrassed, and quickly turned the topic: "Has Lord Chen eaten breakfast?" Would you like to try the food in the barracks? ”

Chen Da hurriedly said, "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan has eaten, thank you Commander Zheng for your kindness, the food in the barracks, Xia Guan will come to taste it another day! ”

Wang Mujiu had eaten enough just now, and he knew that Zhu Youzhen had something to talk to Chen Dashen, so he arched his hand to Chen Da: "Lord Chen, Ben Qin has just come to Nanyang, and he plans to have a good walk in Kuching City, and go back to report his life to His Majesty!" He smiled at Zheng Zhilong again, "Does Zheng Zhilong have time to accompany Ben Chin to walk around Kuching City?" ”

"Be a companion in the next place!" Zheng Zhilong put down the bowl and chopsticks, gestured to Chen Da with his eyes, saw Chen Da nodding, and said slowly: "Accompany Lord Qincha to walk around the city, Lord Chen will accompany Lord Wang well!" He bowed to Zhu Youzhen again, and then left with Wang Mujiu.

"Ah...... Yes, Commander Zheng, the subordinate must do his best to be a landlord! Chen Da said in his heart: Zheng Zhilong may have been familiar with the two Qincha from the beginning, and he had met the Qincha first, and it was common for him to accompany the Qincha envoy, but I don't know why these two Qincha came to Nanyang.

"Lord Chen," Zhu Youzhen put down the bowl, took the sweat towel handed over by the guards and wiped his face, "This is a military camp, I won't leave you here, let's go to your official office and have a look!" ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, please come here!" Chen Da led the way in front and introduced Zhu Youzhen into his official office, and Fu Xiaojian followed Zhu Youzhen with the guards.

Chen Da sighed in his heart: A deputy envoy of the Qin mission actually brought twenty full-time guards!

The government office is in the center of Kuching City, and Zhu Youzhen looks at it, and there are only two and three thatched huts, which should be rebuilt from the private houses of large families, and there is not even a plaque.

"Lord Chen, I have two suggestions!"

"Lord Wang, please say, the lower officials will do it!" Chen Da said in his heart, I just don't understand your intentions, as long as you speak, I can figure it out.

"Lord Chen doesn't need to be like this, in fact, this is some private opinion, and it can't be counted as the content of the tour," Zhu Youzhen pointed to the official office, "Lord Chen, this official office should not be requisitioned for a long time, right?" Not even a sign! ”

"Lord Wang, this is indeed just requisitioned, Xiaguan...... The lower official immediately sent someone to do it! Chen Da arched his hand, but said in his heart: This deputy envoy of Qincha, so he cares about everything?

"Lord Chen has misunderstood!" Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "Lanzhu has just been established as a province, and there are all kinds of waste waiting to be revived, Lord Chen has no time to clean up the official office for a while, it is nothing, and when Lord Chen finishes framing this official office, it is best to not only hang a plaque, but also set up a flag." ”

Zhu Youzhen felt a little regretful, Daming now has no national flag, so it is better to replace it with the sun and moon military flag, "day" and "month" together, it happens to be the word "Ming".

Chen Da was puzzled: "Flag? What does Lord Wang mean ......"

"Sun and Moon Banner!" Zhu Youzhen said: "After all, Lanzhu is different from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, there are many Western countries here, and planting the Sun and Moon military flag of the Ming Dynasty is to announce to the world that this is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone who comes here must abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I understand," Chen Da bowed deeply to Zhu Youzhen, "It's still Lord Wang who is well-informed, and the lower official didn't expect it for a while, and the lower official immediately sent someone to ask Commander Zheng for a military flag, although the official office has not yet been renovated, this military flag must be erected first!" ”

Chen Da didn't wait for Zhu Youzhen to speak, but gave a few orders to the miscellaneous servant behind him, and the miscellaneous servant immediately rushed away.

"Lord Wang, didn't you have a little bit just now......

"Ao," Zhu Youzhen stared at the gray robe on Chen Da's body, "Chen Daren has just taken office, and he still has time to cut the official robe?" ”

"This ......" Chen Da smiled awkwardly, "Don't hide it from Lord Wang, in the entire Lanzhu Province, there should be no one who can make a Ming official robe, and the lower officials are preparing someone to customize a set from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Haha," Zhu Youzhen laughed, "Looking down, it's okay if you don't do this official robe," he was worried that Chen Da would misunderstand, and continued: "According to the meaning of Your Majesty when chatting with Zaixia, the official robe of the Ming Dynasty will be abolished soon. ”

Chen Da's gaze wandered, "Abolish? Lord Wang, why is that? ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, the official robe of the Ming Dynasty is too thick, not only inconvenient, but also cuts the distance between the government and the people," Zhu Youzhen couldn't think of a suitable clothing for a while, the Zhongshan suit and suit of later generations should not be the traditional clothing of the Han people, Han women can choose cheongsam and cardigan as the national costume, but men have not had a representative clothing.

Chen Da was puzzled: "Lord Wang, then what clothes should we wear?" Robe? ”

"The robe is a symbol of the scholar, and now, although it is not very strict, the scholar always prides himself on it," Zhu Youzhen shook his head while trying his best to think, "Now that the mainland of the Ming Dynasty has begun to popularize compulsory education, all the people will be scholars in the future, and the robe is no longer a symbol of status." ”

"The robe...... Isn't it ......?"

"It's not that you can't wear a robe, anyone can wear a robe as long as they like it," Zhu Youzhen couldn't find a suitable national costume for a while, did he want to choose Han costume and Tang costume? "Master Chen has been in business for many years, so there will be no shortage of places he has visited, right? According to Lord Chen, what kind of clothing is not only simple, but also can represent the identity of the Han people? ”

"What kind of costume is Lord Wang looking for?"

"When I went out of Beijing this time, His Majesty instructed me to pay attention to the family, hoping to find a clothing suitable for all Han people, no matter whether noble or lowly, any Han can wear it, and it can distinguish Han people from others."

"Such a costume?" Chen Da shook his head, "Xiaguan ...... for a while"

"Cut the coat into a plunging neckline and pair it with straight-leg trousers in the same color." Zhu Youzhen denied the Tang costume, and could only choose a suit, if the suit is paired with a tie, the person looks very spiritual, and it is also suitable for these warm places in Nanyang, but now it is not called a suit, but a Han costume.

Now the material of the clothes, basically cotton yarn and silk, if you want to make it straight, you must pad the shoulders, the price of this kind of Hanfu is bound to be expensive, but it is precisely because of the high price that it is precious, as the Han people festive, guests and other important occasions to wear.

"This ......," Chen Da hesitated, "Lord Wang, to be honest, this kind of clothing is unheard of by the lower officials. ”

"Lord Chen doesn't need to worry," Zhu Youzhen laughed, "This is just a little personal suggestion, after returning to Beijing next time, it will be reported to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide, if Your Majesty agrees, it will be promoted throughout the country." ”

"Oh," Chen Da breathed a long sigh of relief, "Lord Wang, please enter the official office, the official office is really shabby, and it is not a respect!" He let Zhu Youzhen into the main hall in front of him, and let Zhu Youzhen sit in the main seat of the head, he was indeed accompanied by the prime minister on the side, and the handyman had already made fragrant tea for the two.
