Under the gongs and drums of the military and civilians in Hong Kong to welcome the wine and meat, Wang Qiang and his entourage boarded the Quanzhou wharf.

I won't say much about the polite scene of gratitude and welcome, but let's go straight to the point: 500 officials to be stationed in Southeast Asia should be recruited.

Yes, 500. Previously, Wang Qiang Ganning and his entourage did not know when they set off from Wusong, and by the way, they recruited more than 20 officials from the local area. Then you can imagine how many people it will take to settle in so many islands in Southeast Asia. In fact, the total land area of Southeast Asia is not small, and 500 people is far from enough.

But think about it, after all, this era is hundreds of years earlier than Robinson Crusoe, and the equator in Southeast Asia and even Australia are said to be the territory of cannibal tribes, so they still control several large ports, such as Manila and Singapore.

At this time, as soon as Gan Ning made a request, the official who received him was immediately stunned: "King Wu, where are so many officials from one county in us?" ”

Gan Ning didn't care: "It's okay to show talent!" This king can be enthroned on the spot by the emperor's order. ”

The officials frowned and said: "King Wu, 500 Xiucai is not a small number, and it is also going to Java overseas, I'm afraid, please give us time to recruit." ”

Gan Ning nodded: "It's okay to be able to write official documents, the time is only five days, you must say that you can do a good job, we are doing a lot of money." ”

After all, going to Southeast Asia is not as good as going to Taiwan, and it is possible to live there for the rest of your life, so you have to mobilize well.

Then Gan Ning said another important point: "We are going to worship Mazu Niangniang Temple!" ”

The officials immediately led the way: "King Wu, please!" ”

Gan Ning Zhengse said: "It's not a casual worship, it's a request to see Mazu Niangniang, we can't do it without Mazu Niangniang's help." ”

The officials looked shocked: "Then let's prepare for the big road!" Let the people of the whole county come together to pray for blessings. ”

Gan Ning nodded: "Although we don't want to disturb the people, this is a great cause, I hope you can understand." ”

The officials said happily: "Worshipping Niangniang is a big deal, it is not a disturbance to the people, we will start work separately immediately......"

……

To be honest, although I can't see it clearly at night, the overall outline of this Quanzhou town looks like a big town, and it is hard for Wang Qiang to imagine that so many talents can be summoned here.

Wang Qiang asked: "General Gan, if it doesn't work here, we have to go to Guangzhou to recruit a group of people?" ”

Gan Ning was happy: "Wang Qiang knows what the name of Guangzhou is in the Three Kingdoms?" ”

Wang Qiang was also happy: "South China Sea! "You can recruit brute soldiers in the Three Kingdoms game.

Gan Ning said with emotion: "Although the South China Sea was the territory of the lord at that time, it was not easy to manage, I don't know if the Song Dynasty was a good point in development?" ”

Su Su sighed: "The Song Dynasty has been entangled for hundreds of years just to repair the city wall of Guangzhou, and the real development is still a matter of Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty. ”

It's Zhu Di again! Wang Qiang sighed: "Anyway, in the game of the Three Kingdoms, there are two ways to get to the South China Sea, one is to walk along the coast, and the other is to go north through Jingzhou, but the mountains are not easy to walk." ”

Su Su smiled: "Isn't it that ancient times are not easy to walk? During World War II, the Japanese army easily landed and occupied Guangzhou, but until the defeat and surrender, it did not open up the material supply channel in Guangzhou and Hunan. In the final analysis, Guangzhou has always been an isolated city on the mountainous coast before the Ming Dynasty, and like those port cities in Southeast Asia, it is just a trade transshipment station isolated on the jungle coast, which does not play a role in the radiation of civilization to the surrounding areas, and is not at all the same concept as the current Pearl River Delta economic circle. ”

Wang Qiangming: "Is it because of inconvenient land transportation? ”

Su Su smiled: "It's very simple. A strong sea power is only convenient for destruction and plunder, and a strong land power can ensure development. After all, people have to live on land, and if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Southeast Asia has been colonized by foreign powers for hundreds of years, and it has not been rich because the great powers are not interested in developing people's livelihood, and they don't even have the concept of defending their territory. A huge empire that never sets is so vulnerable, so it is not unreasonable to say that Britain is mixed up with what it is now. ”

Wang Qiang sneered: "But there are still a lot of banana peels in a certain port, which are particularly Chongying?" ”

Su Su said with a smile: "After all, it is an old empire of hundreds of years, and all kinds of tall aristocratic pretending mechanisms have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention a certain port, when the United States was established, it was not a large group of spiritual British?" Even now, any American politician who runs for election without a little British royal blood will be despised and will not be very happy in high society. Do you know that India's elite still has a sense of superiority over the Chinese? ”

Wang Qiang laughed: "Where did the third brother get his sense of superiority?" ”

Su Su smiled: "People who have been doormen for the British Empire feel high!" ”

I'll it!

As he was talking, the official who led the way reminded: "King Wu, my lords, the Mazu Niangniang Temple has arrived!" ”
