The sailors in Malacca were a little disorganized, because their barracks were occupied, and they were sent to the tent area.

Not because the barracks were occupied, but because of the people who occupied the barracks.

Tens of thousands of delicate beauties can hook people to death with a single look. How can these soldiers be calmed down. The reason for letting these people off the ship is that they have been at sea for too long, and there is enough fruit and food here to allow people to rest on land for two days.

"Yue Zheng, you sue the governor again, why do you have to stop the ship here for three days?"

Deng Hailong tasted a cup of tea, and didn't even look at Yue Zheng, in Deng Hailong's eyes, you play this trick in the eyes of the governor, and it is not in the eyes of the governor, what do you think, answer honestly.

Since Yue Zheng has done it, he will not be afraid.

"Deng Shuai, just to make the sailor's brother look hot. Before Xia Guan returned from the Mediterranean, one of the poorest soldiers of the first batch of sailors also had a net worth of one hundred taels of silver. And no one violated military rules, the Ottoman Empire occupied the territory of the Byzantine Empire, so after we take it back, there is nothing wrong with confiscating the Ottomans' goods. ”

"Do you dare to say this to Master Yu?" Deng Hailong asked quietly.

"Naturally, he dares, and the lower officials dare to say a lot of things. There are also many things that I dare not say. ”

"Pick a sentence that you don't dare to say to Ben Du!" Deng Hailong turned around and looked at Yue Zheng with a smile on his face.

Yue Zheng was not nervous, but he still said: "General Lei claimed to take twenty concubines, and this room is not one person, but one family. For example, he took Ukrainians, and Arabs. Naturally, I don't dare to report this matter, but there is one thing I dare to tell you, and that is when Lord Bai wants to change his guard. You go, General Blue Ocean is back. ”

Hahaha! Deng Hailong laughed heartily: "You go, go north in three days, don't let the governor drive you away." ”

For three days, Yue Zheng had the fleet stop at Malacca for three days, and then at the port of Guangzhou for another three days. The reason for this is that some ships have been damaged by a long voyage and need to be repaired simply. Then he was not stable, and he made an excuse to prepare to enter Hangzhou, Yu Qian was not angry and only said, send thirty-five ships into Nanjing first, and the rest are up to you.

Thirty-five were sent first, Yue Zheng was very smart, and thirty of them went north to the Nanjing wharf with gold, silver, and very precious goods.

The rest of the ships entered Hangzhou Bay.

Hangzhou. The three prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, of course, the entire Jiangnan cannot find one that is not prosperous.

The ship stopped at the wharf, the first to enter the port is naturally the passenger ship, in Guangzhou has felt the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty guests are not enough to see, before coming to read the book to know the Marco Polo travels, it said that the Eastern Empire has great wealth, the people are very rich, there is gold everywhere here.

They didn't see gold. But they saw silk that was no cheaper than gold.

Silk was an exclusive item of the aristocracy in Europe, and even the minor nobles could not afford to wear it.

Hangzhou. The largest silk capital of the Ming Dynasty, it has half of the Ming Dynasty's silk trading volume, more than 70% of the raw silk trading volume, and the huge trade volume has created a wealthy Hangzhou merchants, and the emerging small industrial era, a large number of guò water power. The establishment of silk, cotton, and linen workshops powered by animal power, and even the latest steam engines, made ordinary people rich.

Coupled with the exemption of grain tax and the reduction of poll tax after meeting certain requirements, the people became richer.

And silk in the Ming Dynasty. The price has also dropped again and again, and the most ordinary machine silk has been reduced to three taels of silver per horse, and it is the best lake silk that has been reduced to seven taels of silver per horse.

Wearing silk is not a luxury, but a kind of clothing.

A group of soldiers appeared, sealing off half of the street, all dressed in burlap, and gray linen. But it is very beautiful, very tall women line up from the dock, or walk, or choose to take a carriage, to the railway station, they will take the train from Hangzhou to Nanjing, to the city of Nanjing.

To show off?

That's right, the people are proud of the train, let these strangers see the train of the Ming Dynasty, and see what the speed of a thousand miles a day is.

Ukrainian girls feel the different architectural styles of the Ming Dynasty.

In Ukraine, only the lords own castles, which are also made of stones, which look beautiful from a distance, but where ordinary people are impossible to approach. And ordinary people live, even in big cities, there are rows of stinky ditches with bad smells and low houses.

And it's mostly planks.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the streets of Hangzhou are lined with trees, with two green belts, and then neat and ornate shops. The river is clear, without the slightest debris. The people here are very brightly dressed, it can be said that everyone wears silk clothes, and gold and silver jewelry on women is very common.

Huge city, a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

Just passing through the city to the train station, no matter where you go, you can see the prosperity, there is no dirty, messy, and poor in the European Middle Ages. In particular, there are many houses with a height of more than 20 meters, and there are several houses, and you can see people looking down from the windows.

Just as the girls of Ukraine are observing the streets of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty are also observing these foreigners.

At the railway station, the first train departed, with more than 100 people in one carriage and more than 2,000 people in one train, heading for Nanjing. Cars of steel, cars that run fast.

Just before these people left Hangzhou, the news had already spread.

"Come to Daming to get married!" When a rich merchant's son heard the news, he ran to the dock like crazy, only to see a huge notice posted on the pier, which said, the Ottomans were cruel and unkind, and the people in the land they conquered were all fish and meat.

It's a pity that the homeland has fallen, there is a life but no home, lonely and helpless, I only want to marry the Ming Dynasty and ask for a lifetime to rely on.

This notice could not be fake, and there was a small notice next to it, with detailed rules written and rules and etiquette discussed between the Ming officials and the Byzantine court, such as respecting the teachings of the Orthodox Church in the formal marriage, and then receiving the blessing of the Orthodox priest in the church. Even if it is a concubine, it must be a famous matchmaker.

I didn't say marriage, I just talked about etiquette.

There are a lot of rules, and in the end there are a few sentences written, many people are innocent, and they can't be abrupt. There is also a voluntary willingness, that is, if you like it, you must also be willing by the other party. And this process needs to be testified by relevant official media, otherwise it will be a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Some of the fanatics of the Ming Dynasty, when the son of the merchant returned to his shop, called a man to pull a cart of silk, and ran out again with a bag of silver on his back, and led the people straight to the train station.

He saw one just now, and he was shocked.

The train station is not completely under martial law, but there are two platforms and a tent area on the periphery.

The son of a wealthy businessman crowded around, and finally saw many people on one platform waiting to get on the train, he didn't care about rushing down the train track, and the train guard rushed past four people, carrying sticks, and was ready to beat him out, and rushed down the lane on the train platform, you are looking for death.

This kid was fast enough, and he rushed over directly and grabbed the one he had just seen at the door of the store.

However, the speed of the train guards is not slow, and the four people catch up from behind, and go out with them, such a guy has to clean up fiercely, and he is bold.

The queue for exclusion was a bit chaotic, at least the Ukrainian girl didn't get on the train, she said nothing and didn't get on the train.

Holding a golden hairpin in her hand, she didn't know much of the language of the Ming Dynasty, but some things didn't need words, a young man rushed over at the risk of being beaten by the soldiers, and then gave himself a gift, what else could this represent.

This matter is not big, but it is not small either, and even Yu Qian knows about the reports layer by layer.

If you know it, you know, but Yu Qian doesn't care about this kind of trivial matter in the market, if the prefect of Hangzhou can't even handle it well, then the prefect can be regarded as sitting in the head.

Yu Qian was dealing with a big matter, and the gold and silver sent back by Bai Minghe were already in storage. The number exceeded Yu Qian's prediction.

How many people's eyes have been blinded by precious goods, whole ships of ivory, precious stones, coral, etc.

"Yu Aiqing, I heard that this was cleared from pirates?" After Zhu Qiyu personally walked around the warehouse, he was shocked compared to Bai Minghe's second return to Nanjing from Guangdong. Bai Minghe went out once, and the income when he came back was several times or more than ten times that of the Ming treasury.

Five years ago, when Bai Minghe returned to the capital in Guangdong, the silver income of the treasury at that time was only four million taels.

All the taxes added up were only 37,000,000 taels of silver. And the more than 100 million taels of silver brought back by Bai Minghe can definitely be said to be several times the tax paid by the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Daming is rich, his annual tax income has increased several times. But what Bai Minghe brought back this time was several times the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hooray, the minister has asked the sailor. Say it's pirates, too. These people seized the ports of other countries and then enslaved the barbarians. But another version is that these people were the regular army of Portugal, merchants. Speaking of identity, the difference between them and what Bai Ming Crane did in Da Nang back then is that Bai Ming Crane convinces people with virtue and seduces people with profit. And these people use steel knives and muskets to make people unconvinced. ”

Yu Qian's analysis was very correct, and he saw things through.

"In Aiqing's opinion?" Zhu Qiyu asked again, he wanted to know Yu Qian's attitude, because Yu Qian's attitude at this time can be said to determine the attitude of half of the officials in the imperial court, and the other half is the attitude of the military. The last part is his attitude as the Ming Emperor.

"Hooray, the minister thinks that the white crane is walking the way of hegemony. But the minister can't stop him anymore, and he doesn't know that the soldiers who went on this expedition will have huge benefits, so the military will definitely support the expedition. As for the ministers, if they want to stop it, they need the strength of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, but they may not support the ministers. Yu Qian was very helpless, he was really helpless. (To be continued......)
