Chapter 269: Flattered

The Australian reception ceremony was a great success, the Dutch handed over the reins very happily, and when Blackwater took over all the defenses, the Dutch soldiers put down their guns and walked in groups towards the few entertainment venues in the city.

During this period, although the ruffians and hooligans in the city created rumors and wanted to fish in troubled waters, after Jiang Junbo shot a few, the security in the city became abnormally good, but this kind of good made people look weird.

Almost all the people in the city did not go to the shelves, and the shops basically closed early, although the deterrence of the small night played a certain role, but at the same time it also brought certain disadvantages, so that the residents of the city fell into a life of fear and tension, and the normal business contacts and exchanges were broken.

For this reason, Zhao Shijie looked at Jiang Junbo helplessly, he didn't know what to say, so he could only come up with a way to solve it as soon as possible.

"Minister, your information has been sorted out," Zhang Hao, holding a stack of small materials in his hand in front of Zhao Shijie's desk, Zhang Hao, who was a primary school teacher before the crossing, has the most abundant work experience after the crossing, first served as a teacher in Manchester City Primary School for two months, and later transferred to the secretariat of the Executive Committee Office as Zhou Aiguo's full-time secretary.

Compared with other people's work experience, he is the most experienced, and he is also an entourage of Malacca with the ship, but unlike Zhao Shijie, after the completion of the handover, Zhang Hao will officially take over the power of Malacca and become the first governor of Malacca.

Although he is a feudal official in the future, in the face of a high-ranking government official like Zhao Shijie, Zhang Hao still respectfully puts himself in the position of a subordinate, perhaps because of his humility, so people who have worked with him will say that this kid is good.

"Zheng Shuming, a descendant of Zheng Fangyang, this person is good and has a certain influence in the local area." Zhao Shijie looked at the information in his hand, and when he saw Zheng Shuming, he was particularly interested in talking to Zhang Hao.

"Yes, Minister. The Zheng family has a great influence among the Chinese, because their ancestors are the leaders of the older generation of Chinese, and the Zheng family is the largest Chinese family in the local area. ”

"Well, I think we can go and meet this man. Starting with him, he has a certain appeal in the Chinese community in Malacca, and he is a person who can be used by us. ”

After Zhao Shijie finished speaking, he put down the information, and the other people's information behind him obviously didn't intend to read it. Seeing this, Zhang Hao immediately replied: I will arrange a carriage to meet this Chinese leader.

At this time, Zheng Shuming was still eating lunch at home, and although he was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the Australians, he was also thinking about what kind of time he needed to go down to meet the new Australian governor.

"Sir, this is a message from the new governor." Worship post, in this foreign place, can search for such a traditional worship post, obviously Zheng Shuming is a little surprised. In the past, when the Dutch or the Portuguese wanted to see them, they would send one directly to deliver the message, or simply come to their home.

"These foreign countries just don't understand the etiquette, this Australia is worthy of being passed on to the former Song Dynasty, and it is still better than these people in terms of etiquette." Zheng Shuming laughed heartily, but the lady beside him was a little worried.

"Sir, this Australian has come suddenly. Do you want us to take the silver, wasn't that how the Dutch used to be? Although this Australia spread to the former Song Dynasty, it seems that the concubine is not much better than the Dutch, do you remember the few people who were shot on the street a few days ago? ”

Mrs. Zheng's worries actually came from the street shooting incident a few days ago, which made many people in the city very afraid of Australians, even the local Chinese are very afraid of these compatriots who have the same blood as themselves.

Since ancient times, soldiers have been like bandits, especially in this kind of foreign place, and Mrs. Zheng's worries are not unreasonable.

However, Comrade Lao Zheng obviously didn't take his wife's worries to heart at all: "Zhiru, this Australian has the same blood as us no matter what. They are all the sons and daughters of Yan Huang who are living overseas, how can they be much better than those red-haired people, you can see that the other party sent a letter of worship, they are very particular about etiquette. You don't have to worry too much, go and prepare well to welcome the arrival of the guests, this time it is said that it will be the future governor of Malacca. ”

Everyone up and down the Zheng family mansion was mobilized and cleaned up and cleaned up the yard just to make a good impression on the guests. Let people see that although they and others are living abroad, the basic etiquette will not change.

The exact time was written on the post, so Zheng Shuming had been waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests at the gate in advance, and this was the first time for him to have such a big official come to his home.

With the clatter of horses' hooves on the stone pavement, Zheng Shuming saw a very luxuriously decorated carriage approaching him. The carriage stopped, and two young men, dressed in white short-sleeved shirts and black trousers, stepped down from above.

"Hello, I am the new Governor of Malacca, Zhang Hao, this is Mr. Zhao Shijie, Minister of Foreign Trade of China, and I am also the highest person in charge of accepting Malacca this time."

Zhang Hao stepped out of the carriage and first introduced himself, and then introduced Zhao Shijie's identity.

"Welcome Minister Zhao to the Humble House, please," Zheng Shuming bowed to Zhao Shijie as luggage, and then stretched out a gesture of invitation to let the other party into the room, and after sitting down, Zhao Shijie looked at each other with a smile.

"Mr. Zheng doesn't need to be restrained, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and I hope you will bear with the inconvenience caused to you by this visit."

"No, no, Lord Zhao is young and promising, it is really fortunate that you can come to visit."

"Haha, Mr. Zheng is very happy, I heard that you are a descendant of Mr. Zheng Fangyang, we know a lot about Mr. Zheng's deeds, and he is an outstanding overseas Chinese."

"Thank you Lord Zhao for your compliment, the old ancestor is indeed a very remarkable person, and he has always been a model for the children of the Zheng family to learn from."

"Well, Mr. Zheng's deeds will be specially compiled into a written account for future generations to read, now my Australian Republic has become the master of Malacca, as the so-called tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, you and I are all Yan and Huang, we are naturally closer than those Dutch, I don't know if Mr. Zheng is interested in becoming an advisor to the Governor's Palace, we are new to this place, and we are not familiar with everything here."

Inviting a local Chinese leader who has more power to speak among the Chinese to serve as an adviser to the new government is the result of the joint discussion between Zhao Shijie and Zhang Hao, and it is obvious that the Chinese will become the main ethnic group of Malacca in the future, and it is very necessary to unite the local Chinese before the Chinese have become the main ethnic group.

Of course, this is also a very good opportunity for Zheng Shuming. (To be continued.) )
