When Xiao Lang'er's fleet came from afar, Liu Jin's father-in-law was happy to see all this, he knelt on the ground, his face was facing the direction of Daming, and tears flowed from his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past two months, Liu Jin's father-in-law looked forward to the return of Xiao Lang'er's fleet day and night, he stood in the port every day, looking into the distance, hoping that a fleet would come, he hoped day by day, and was disappointed day by day, so he had to put all his expectations into the construction of the harbor, and now the harbor has begun to take shape, and those buildings have basically been built.

These black slave girls were also very hard-working, helping Liu Jin collect food, buy and sell cattle and sheep, and smoke beef and mutton so that they could be taken to the sea to eat.

Liu Jin hired some local blacks to help build the harbor, and some of the gold mines were excavated, and he grasped both hands, and both were effective.

When the Daming treasure ship docked at Qiaoyehua Port, Liu Jin's father-in-law ran to the dock, when Xiao Lang'er's warm smile appeared, the fifty musketeers who were guarding the port were excited, and shouted loudly, "Hou Ye is mighty, invincible in the world, Hou Ye shot, and the horse is successful!"

Xiao Lang'er nodded to them, and when he saw Liu Jin's father-in-law's short and fat body, he passed on a hint of approval in the past, and walked over to take his hand, "Father-in-law has worked hard!" Liu Jin'er hugged Xiao Lang'er aggrievedly, tears flowed out, and he choked up and said, "Finally I hope you come back, this is the favor of the sky, and it is also the emperor's blessing, and the Ming Dynasty is hopeful." Xiao Lang'er stroked his back and patted him gently.

Xiao Lang'er looked around, showing an approving expression, in front of the wharf is a huge square, around the square are some buildings, the most prominent is the Ming Trade Office, the building is two floors, there is also a flag of Daming Haijinghou, a black dragon wrapped around the sword flag fluttering in the wind, others such as barracks, residential buildings, taverns, warehouses, all neatly surround the square, near the wharf there is also a shipyard being built.

There was also a fence around these buildings, apparently unfinished, and a large number of blacks were busy building under the command of Ming craftsmen.

These buildings are mainly wood and stone structures, very Ming style, but there are no tiles here, and the roof is covered with stone chips, which looks like a different style.

Xiao Lang'er found that under the moderate foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty, some bold black chiefs had sent people to live in the port and were ready to do all kinds of business. As long as some daily necessities and some knick-knacks from various regions are transported and exchanged with these chiefs, it is estimated that a large amount of gold can be obtained.

This place is located in the southernmost part of Africa, the geographical location is very important, I don't know why those sea overlords do not occupy it, build a seaport here, this time it is cheaper Xiao Lang'er, Xiao Lang'er estimates, this will become a very profitable port, can quickly promote the prosperity of this place, drive the development of civilization here.

Xiao Lang'er took Liu Jin's father-in-law's hand and walked into the Daming Trade Office, the construction is very magnificent, it has not yet been completed, but the first floor can already be used, as soon as they enter the door is a spacious hall, they observed it, and are ready to discuss it here, who will continue the project here.

The middle-level officials of the Daming fleet sat down in the hall, and Xiao Lang'er, Liu Jin's father-in-law, and Shi Lang sat in the middle.

Everyone looked at Xiao Lang'er, waiting for his speech, Xiao Lang'er looked at everyone, "Brothers, we have completed half of the task of this trip, and we can embark on the journey home after the aftermath here, this time we came out, after hardships, we have paid a lot, and made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, I think the emperor will give a rich reward at that time."

In this expedition to the Isle of Mist, we achieved our goal, but we also sacrificed seven or eight brothers, and we express our heavy condolences to our comrades who died in this mission!" Xiao Lang'er said and stood up, closed his eyes and mourned in silence for a minute. The others also stood up in unison, the brothers with whom they had spent their days and nights.

In the past, there were wars and many people died, but if they died, they were dead, who still remembered them, and now Marquis Shen thinks about them everywhere, even if they sacrifice, they also have a generous pension, so everyone is willing to give Xiao Lang'er their lives.

Xiao Lang'er waved his hand, everyone sat down, and he continued, "In this mission, everyone has a reward, according to the fifty musketeers guarding the port, each will be rewarded with five taels, the reward for guarding the sea near the island of mist will be ten taels, the reward for following me to the island of mist will be one hundred taels of gold, the reward for each middle-level official will be one hundred taels, and the reward for the high-level will be five hundred taels. As soon as Xiao Lang'er's words fell, these middle-level officials present scratched their ears and cheeks excitedly, couldn't help but be happy, and clapped their palms one after another. This is a huge reward, according to the amount of effort, the size of the merit to reward, I'm afraid no one disagrees, after all, you don't have any risk in the port, just defend, and the brothers who go to sea always risk their lives, the most dangerous is the fifty brothers who follow Xiao Lang'er to the island of mist, that is the most elite sailors, they get so much, it is normal. This time, Xiao Lang'er had to take out more than 84,000 taels as a reward, but fortunately, the treasury was abundant.

"Brothers, as long as you complete this task and return to Daming victoriously, I will give you a rich reward, I hope you will work together to return to Daming as soon as possible. ”

"We swore allegiance to Hou Ye, even after we went back, we also followed Hou Ye, I just hope that Hou Ye will not dislike us and others. Some officials present said.

"Very good, it is also my honor to have your brothers, now I will talk about a few issues, the first is the construction of Qiaoyehua Port, after two months of construction, it has begun to take shape, there is a huge credit to Liu Jin's father-in-law, and everyone's concerted efforts, this port is our first port overseas, we need to build it well, of course it costs money, but I am not afraid of spending money, I want to make this the best port in Africa, brothers, the terrain here is very important, there is a natural harbor, there are a lot of merchant ships passing through here, and a lot of money will be made in the future, so the early investment is very necessaryWhen we sell some Ming goods here, we can earn ten times the profit, and there are merchant ships from other countries that come to the port to replenish or trade, and we can also receive taxes from them. Xiao Lang'er looked at his subordinates with a look of yearning and confusion, and he felt a little funny, it seemed that they understood it or not.

"Brothers, the construction of this Qiaoyehua port is inseparable from everyone's efforts, I think it is like this, the port must have at least ten docks, which can dock hundreds of merchant ships, and there must be ten cranes at the docks to help transport materials, warehouses should be built at the docks to facilitate the transportation of materials, lighthouses should be built on the left and right docks, and forts should be built, and the port should be able to accommodate 100,000 people, so a large number of residential buildings and shops should be built, and the streets should be paved with stones, and there should be wells in the center of the square, and there should be sculpture fountains, and the ground should be paved with stones. In the future, there will be time to fence the port with a wall to make it easier to defend, but that is a big project, just build a few turrets for now, just in case.

Now the dock is only less than half built, it is still far from my requirements, we are leaving, the project here can not be stopped, I hope that all of us here, people with management and construction talents can stay, help me build, then my reward will be very generous, as long as the task is completed, I will give a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, and the monthly salary is 200 taels, I don't know who here is interested in staying, continue the project here, as long as you are next, you will be a rich man for the rest of your life, and I can provide ten beautiful black slaves。 After Xiao Lang'er finished speaking, he glanced at everyone present with his eyes, these middle-level officials are a little red-eyed, this is a few years, and there is no need to do it again in the future, what a good thing this is, more than a dozen officials stood up, hoping to stay.

Xiao Lang'er looked at them with a smile, "Very good, you are willing to work for me, I will not treat you badly, dismiss the meeting!" Saying that, let Qian Wanshi tap their names a few times, and when the time comes, they can immediately leave and print.
