With the early warning ahead, the people of Zhengliang immediately became vigilant. And Wang Hai seemed to have expected it, smiled slightly to make everyone feel at ease, and then let the boat he was on go forward, and took the initiative to meet the oncoming sailor boat.

Is that the fortune ship that is being made? Looking at the approaching ship from afar, Masarashi was once again shocked by the immense feeling that Fukubune brings. I saw that the head of the lucky boat was pointed, the tail was wide, the two heads were upturned, and the head and tail were high. From a distance, its sides arch outwards and are flanked by guards. Look at its high head, it obviously has a strong impact device, and it seems that the draft is very deep, it seems to reach four meters, and it is really the first choice for warships.

As the ship got closer, the silhouette of the ship became clearer and clearer. On closer inspection, the hull is quite tall (two stories high), with a wide flat deck, continuous hatches, and a pair of eyes on either side of the bow. According to the records, the whole ship is divided into four layers, the lower layer is equipped with earth and stone ballast, the second floor is inhabited by soldiers, the third floor is the main operation place, and the upper floor is the combat site. Moreover, the Fuchuan has good maneuverability, and the unique double rudder design of the Fuchuan can advance and retreat freely in both shallow and deep seas. Of course, these can only be guessed, unless there is a chance to enter the ship in person, there is no chance to verify.

The fortune boat stopped not far away, and then a small boat approached. On the boat stood several officers and men dressed in the uniforms of sailors.

"Old bag?" Wang Hai exclaimed in surprise when he saw the person led by the small boat.

"It turned out to be you kid," the other party obviously recognized Wang Hai, "Recently, you have been out again?" ”

"Hey! There's no way, there's no rice to put in the pot at home, so I have to go out and try my luck to see if I can catch a big fish. ”

"It seems that this harvest is good," said the official surnamed Bao, looking at the two small boats behind him.

"Thanks to the blessing of the lord, it can be regarded as a barely harvested gain" Wang Hai nodded at the latter and said, "By the way, there are some good things here, and I am going to take them to honor the brothers on the ship, and I hope that the old bag will not be disliked." As he spoke, he shoved a piece of silver into the other party's hand. At the same time, a small package was sent by Wang Hai's receiver, and it seemed that the package seemed to be very heavy.

"Hahaha, that's easy to say. I have time to come to Deshenglou to find me, I have good luck recently, and I have won a lot" The officers and soldiers surnamed Bao were obviously very happy after receiving the gifts.

"Congratulations to Lao Bao, I will definitely come next," Wang Hai arched his hand and said.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. The officers and men surnamed Bao finally returned to the Fu ship satisfied. Then, the fortune ship set sail again in search of the next ship.

"Whew" Wang Hai exhaled lightly and smiled at Zhengliang. Zhengliang understood and didn't ask much. Ever since passing through that island, Masato has finally figured out the rules of the game. So it's not surprising. I just feel that even if it is smuggling, if there is no strong backstage, it will be in vain. Like Wang Hai, who sends money everywhere, it is estimated that there will not be much money in the end, unless Wang Hai controls several ships and becomes a wealthy businessman.

After being checked by the sailor without danger, Masahiro's boat continued to move forward. The waterway ahead was obviously much smoother, and while enjoying the scenery, Masara sighed alone that the ship would soon be on the shore.

"Brother Zhengliang" Wang Hai turned his head and said, "Look, that's our dock." Our destination has arrived. ”

"Oh?" Zhengliang looked in the direction Wang Hai pointed, and saw a dock made of wood not far away, which seemed to be a private dock.

"It's a dock controlled by the gang, as long as you give money and take their tokens, you can dock safely and sound," Wang Hai explained. …,

I see, Masara nodded in response. I didn't expect that there was such an underworld in ancient times.

"Bumping" With the side of the boat touching the wooden pier, Masahiro is finally about to set foot on the homeland of the Ming Kingdom. Hometown, I'm here, Masahiro said silently, raised his right leg lightly, and took the lead on the shore. Wow, it turns out that the land of my hometown is the most down-to-earth, and there is a feeling of home. It's warm, it's warm.

"Brother Zhengliang, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you better come with me" Wang Hai on the side saw Zhengliang go ashore, stood on the dock and closed his eyes in contemplation, and had to urge in a low voice. In fact, he was mainly worried about the three retinues behind Masara, among whom Yoshida Shigemasa and Kinoshita Masanao were too obvious in their Japanese characteristics. Now is the time when the Japanese are gradually rampant, and once they are mistaken for Japanese by those who have a heart, it will be troublesome.

Zhengliang nodded in agreement, and led the three attendants behind him to follow Wang Hai along the path of the dock. Soon everyone came to the front of a small town, Masato looked at the stone tablet on the side of the road, most of the words Masashi did not recognize, and vaguely recognized the words "Makufeng Town".

"See?". Wang Hai, who was beside him, pointed to a stone tile house on the edge of the town and said, "It was originally a branch of the city's office, but since the sea was banned, it has also been closed. And this town has become deserted because it has no source of income. Wang Hai shook his head, and then continued to walk forward.

Masara and the others then followed, and when they passed by the branch of the city, Masashi looked inside, and saw that it seemed to be a small garden in the middle, surrounded by a courtyard of a brick house, which was now overgrown with weeds, and it was obviously without an owner for a long time.

City Division? In my impression, the city department is to manage the tributary and trade affairs of overseas countries, and one person is promoted, from the fifth grade, two deputy promotions, from the sixth grade, one subordinate officer, and nine grades. Promotion, or special assignment, or by the inspection and the salt section of the promotion of the division of the promotion of concurrently. The Municipal Department is subordinate to the Department of Administration. As a result, the power of taxation is entirely in the hands of the Chief Secretary and other governors. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that a fixed tax package system was adopted, and it was changed to be collected by the promoter. In the first year of Wu (1367), the city was set up in Huangdu Town, Taicang Prefecture, Zhili (near Taicang, Jiangsu), and in the third year of Hongwu (1370), Taicang approached the capital and was relocated in Guangzhou, Guangdong, Quanzhou (later moved to Fuzhou), and Ningbo, Zhejiang. In Guangdong, it was designed for the tributaries of Champa (Vietnam), Siam (Thailand), Manraka (Malaysia), and Chenla (Cambodia), and in Zhejiang, it was for the Japanese tribute. In Fujian, it was specially designed for the Ryukyu tribute. Seven years later, the three divisions were abolished for a time. In the first year of Yongle (1403), Huaiyuan Station was set up in Guangzhou, Laiyuan Station was set up in Quanzhou, and Anyuan Station was set up in Ningbo, and the Municipal Department was in charge of receiving tribute envoys and their attachés from various countries. Guangdong Huaiyuan Station, the scale is huge, there are 20 rooms. Guangdong City Bo Si ordered the ministers to admiral. In the sixth year, in order to receive the tribute envoys of the southwestern countries, the city of the city was set up in Yuntun (now Jinpu Port, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam). In the first year of Jiajing (1522), due to the rampant Japanese invaders, he went to Zhejiang, Fujian Second Division, only Guangdong First Division, which was soon abolished, and it was not until the 39th year, at the request of Tang Shunzhi, the governor of Huaiyang, that the Third Division was restored. In the forty-fourth year, the First Division of Zhejiang gave up at the request of Governor Liu Ji. Fujian Division was opened and abolished, and it was restored in the middle of Wanli. Since then, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no major change in the city.

"Your Highness, there seems to be a military camp in front" At this time, Kinoshita Masashi walked straight behind Masahiro and whispered.

"Huh? Barracks again? Zhengliang couldn't help but wonder, why did he always encounter the barracks?

"Hehe, don't panic, it's a guard, it's called Lihai. One of them is always an old acquaintance of mine, and when you encounter trouble, you can go to him for help under the name of the next person," Wang Hai said proudly.

Zhengliang arched his hand at Wang Hai to show his gratitude. In his heart, he was secretly frightened by Wang Hai's extensive connections.
