Since the opening of the clinic, the construction of the island has also grown rapidly, during which time many citizens from the mainland of the empire and other overseas colonies have migrated to the island, and the island's population has continued to expand.

The eastern part of the island was zoned as an industrial trade zone, where my rum distillery was located, and with the arrival of the Imperial support technical team and related equipment, the construction of the distillery began.

The man with glasses hasn't looked for me since I rejected his offer to cooperate, but I heard Uncle Song say that this grandson is now quite positive in his work attitude, and many of James' ideas about island construction were actually put forward by him, and he now has the posture of James's right-hand man.

Time can erase a lot of things, time can also make people slowly forget or temporarily stranded a lot of things, we have been shipwrecked for a long time, and everyone has accepted the new world and new life on the surface.

Zhou An'an helped Grace take care of the clinic, Uncle Song also adapted to the role of a servant of the people, Sister Shanshan, Sister Hongmei and others were busy farming every day, resting at sunrise and sunset, Uncle Wei did some hard work when he was busy with a beard, and looked for people to chat everywhere when he was free.

The big bear revolves around Tina every day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is definitely interesting to Tina, but this grandson never dares to pierce the layer of window paper. Su Yuliu and I have been busy with the construction of the distillery, and a good life seems to be just around the corner.

After some time, one day we were suddenly told that we were going to the new central square of Paradise Island for a grand welcome ceremony.

In fact, there have been new immigrants arriving on the island one after another, but most of them are ordinary people who yearn for a new life, and naturally they have never had any welcome ceremonies.

Our group came to the square, which was already crowded, and the new and old residents of Paradise Island were huddled together waiting for something.

Looking into the distance, a huge fleet on the sea is waving its majestic flag, and the intricate and exquisite craftsmanship of making wooden boats has long been lost in our time, and it is a blessing to see it again.

Big Bear asked me, "Is there another duke who has come to inspect it?" It's so exciting, troops, is it because the queen and her old man came in person, I haven't seen what the queen looks like when she's so big. ”

An eldest brother next to him said: "Her Majesty never leaves the mainland islands, this time it is the embassy from the East. ”

The mission of the East? The current world is composed of countless large and small islands, generally divided into two large archipelagos in the east and west, there are countries like the British Empire and the Prussian Empire in the western archipelago, and will there be our motherland in the eastern archipelago?

Big Bear asked the big brother, "The mission of the East?" What are they here for? Did Zheng He go to the West? ”

The eldest brother rolled his eyes, thinking that there was such an idiot who knew nothing, and he said: "This mission is from the Great Chinese Empire in the East, and it is said that in the East it is a country as powerful as our British Empire. Every few years, their missions travel to the world in search of trade and foreign exchanges, and the fleet can contain many rare things, most notably the exquisite porcelain. I saw it once when I was in my homeland, and I didn't expect to meet it again after I came here. ”

Dahua Empire, fine porcelain, isn't this our dearest and most familiar motherland, I and Da Xiong looked at each other and were a little excited, and at the same time we quickly thought of a question, this world is not the world we have traveled back to, although its historical development process has been tampered with, although the products of civilization that should have been erased, but the people of this world are still people of the same era as us, we don't know how many people died in the so-called catastrophe, But theoretically, our family, friends, and colleagues are all still alive.

Uncle Wei and the others also seemed to think of this, and the hand holding the cigarette trembled a little unconsciously, if we can still meet the old people of the past and present, even if we don't know each other, even if we may have changed our names and surnames, but at least we can meet again.

In the midst of a thousand calls, the envoys of the mission finally got off the ship and slowly entered the square, and the porters behind them carried countless large and small boxes, and James walked quickly to meet them in formal suits.

After seeing the appearance of the people in the mission, we were all surprised, and Da Xiong said to me, "Old Han, isn't this Nima's ancient dress?" ”

Sister Hongmei said, "It seems to be the costume of the Ming Dynasty, could it be that their time memory has been pushed forward by three or four hundred years?" ”

I nodded and said: "It is very likely that the historical memory from the Ming Dynasty onwards may have all been changed, the so-called Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, as of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and no New China." ”

After the arrival of the mission, in order to show the demeanor and wealth of the great country in the East, the citizens of each island were given a little gift of greeting, either exquisite porcelain vases or sachets made of the finest materials, all in all, very generous.

In order to welcome the mission, James had already prepared a welcome banquet, but none of us except Uncle Song were qualified to participate.

We all discussed it and decided that we should find an opportunity to contact the people of the Mission, or at least ask about the current situation in the East, and ideally be able to follow the Mission out of Paradise Island and back to our homeland.

I saw a lot of blonde and blue-eyed western faces, and there were a lot more eastern faces on the island, which made us look very kind. The high-ranking officials of the mission attended the banquet, but there were also some low-ranking attachés who brought their families to the island to enjoy the local customs.

I asked Big Bear to quickly take out the charm of a mature man, and find an opportunity to get close to the ladies and ladies of the mission who were hanging out in the island market, and Big Bear's grandson was actually shameless and worried that if he was in love, he would have to be forced to marry, but he couldn't live with Tina.

The island bazaar itself was actually nothing, mostly daily necessities and island fruits, and the big bear finally struck up a conversation under my repeated urging.

Our target was a good-looking young woman, and behind her was a young girl who was supposed to be her daughter, and both the young woman and her daughter were supported by maids, and at the back were four strong guards.

The big bear had just walked in front of the young woman, I don't know if it was too abrupt and reckless, or if he looked too obscene and didn't look like a good person, one of the young woman's guards suddenly jumped in front of the young woman, and pulled out the knife he carried with him with a whoosh.

Lin Ruyi and I hurriedly stepped forward to explain, the young woman looked at me and Lin Ruyi, and then waved her hand to let the guards retreat, I put on a posture of studying hard every day, indicating that our ancestors were all from the East, and then they came here by mistake, and they all had the same root and origin. When we were children, we often heard the elders mention all kinds of things in the East, but the heart is not able to go, this time to see the fellows of the mission, feel very cordial, homesick eyes are crying red, we now especially want to know what the Oriental homeland is like, where the grass and trees are still the appearance of our father's oral memory, if possible, it is best to go back to the hometown, drink a bowl of hometown water, and eat a grain of hometown rice.

Maybe it was because I was talking with emotion, maybe it was because I was decent and trustworthy, the young woman was stunned by me, and there was pity in her eyes, but after all, she was a married woman, whether it was due to etiquette or other traditional concepts, she could not talk to us on the street, she ordered a guard named Zhu Yafu to stay, so that if we wanted to know anything, or needed help, we could go directly to him.

After the young woman left, we took Zhu Yafu to Grace's clinic and found the innermost room to talk.

The Dahua Empire is located in the east of the Oriental Islands, the largest land area, the largest population size, as we expected, in Zhu Yafu's worldview, the Ming Dynasty to the late eunuchs as the government and the people are not living, all kinds of corruption and excessive taxes oppress the toiling masses breathlessly, it is said that where there is oppression, there is resistance, under the leadership of the founding monarch of the Dahua Dynasty, the rebel army rose up after more than ten years of hard struggle, and finally overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty and established the Dahua Dynasty.
