Chapter 37: The Eve of Departure
Chapter 37: The Eve of Departure
In the end, Dai Ran had to send Ke Yinzhi back to Sumatra before he led the large army to set off.
Ke Yinzhi has already eaten with the queen a few times and visited the street a few times. In the process, Lai Shunzhi, who hurried back, formed a fleet of 24 armed merchant ships in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's request.
"I'm going to build a summer resort in Beijing. Lai Shun Zhi will also allow the Korean royal family and the Japanese royal family to redecorate their palaces. All the sandalwood of all colors was purchased from Fumen first, and the business of three million taels of silver in the past two years was considered a gift from me to Sumatra and to Fumen. I'm here in Fuzhou Mansion, watching you run out of this route with all the money you have started."
"The people's daughter must live up to my emperor's trust."
In the past few days, his movement and in-depth understanding have also made Ke Yinzhi begin to recognize his emperor in his heart.
"Shunzhi will accompany you, and his mission is to advance the trade between the Ming and the countries of Europa to Sumatra. I have said that there is no impregnable fortified city in this world, only miracles condensed by profit. Starting next year, once the goods enter the Ming Dynasty, they must pay taxes and fees to the customs office that enters the port. In this way, the Ming Dynasty needed a prosperous Suma, and the other countries needed a free port without taxes, and the old port of Sumatra fully met this requirement. By the way, the scale, difficulty, and complexity of this old port are incomparable to Kumajin, and you have to be completely prepared to go to war with forces that don't follow the rules, do you understand?"
"I understand. Please rest assured, the emperor will give the minister two years, and the minister will build the largest free port in Sumatra."
Zhu Youzhen nodded, once Daming can gain a foothold in Sumatra, then the entire South China Sea will become Daming's inland sea, and this will become the first step for Daming to step out of the country.
"Don't be careless, sometimes, the road to the outside world is the opening of trade. But more often than not, the road to the outside world is trampled by the army. I am reassured that you are good at using the means of trade and exchange. But you have to remember that sometimes it is only when you have a sword in your hand and put it on someone's neck that someone will start to take the initiative to listen to you and listen to your reasoning. You must be aware of this no matter what, whenever and where."
"And," Zhu Youzhen paused, and then said earnestly:
"Remember, no matter what, no matter what the situation, people are the most important, protect yourself, protect the descendants of the Han people in Fumen, and protect every one of us who travels with you, remember?"
This time, in addition to the new standard rifles, grenades, explosives, and bullets for the Four Seas Fleet, Zhu Youzhen's armed merchant ships were more importantly added 30 doctors and 100 teachers. This is also the reason why Ke Yinzhi recognized Zhu Youzhen. In her opinion, these very powerful doctors and these teaching gentlemen drawn from Daming Public School are Zhu Youzhen's true intentions. And only Zhu Youzhen is clear, and the experience of later generations has made this clear. Only education and medical care can completely turn the distant enclave into the land of the Ming Dynasty. ….
As for fifty years from now, a hundred years from now, there will be airplanes at that time, is this distance still a distance?
In this era, the distance of thousands of miles is enough to make the atmosphere of parting heavy, Zhu Youzhen saw that the business had basically been finished, so he said easily:
"What's the matter, I also saw Dai Ran secretly asking someone around the queen to send a letter to someone in the morning, after the matter is over, Dai Ran estimates that he will leave in the evening today, so don't stand here and make rules."
If it rests on someone else, who can stand up to His Majesty the Emperor to talk and laugh like this. What's more, there are still a bunch of secretaries and supervisors in the house. Lai Shunzhi, who didn't know the situation, was pulled away by Wen Tiren, but Ke Yinzhi replied generously:
"Lord Dai has an appointment with the little girl today, Your Majesty, if you are okay here, I will send Lord Dai for you."
Zhu Youzhen waved his hand,
"Go, go. Help me give Dai Ran a word. You can listen to Mo Jinghui's opinions and suggestions for anything, but there is one no. To say that there is no other chance than this time, this is nonsense. Tell him
, I have a lot of ways here, and there is also a lot of money, but there is a lack of people. You must remember that protecting yourself and your subordinates is the most important thing."
After a little delay here in Zhu Youzhen, he ran back to the house where he lived in Fuzhou, and when Ke Yinzhi arrived at the training camp, the whole day of training was over, and only Dai Ran was left sitting on the beach alone.
"Whoa!"
Ke Yinzhi also saw a lot of curious eyes looking at him not far away. She walked to Dai Ran's side generously and sat down not far away. Reaching out and handing a purse that he had embroidered to Dai Ran.
Dai Ran saw that it didn't seem to be the scene he had thought about several times, and subconsciously turned his head. With the afterglow of the setting sun, the golden sunlight embedded Ke Yinzhi's hair and face with a surging brilliance, and even the subtle fluff on his face was clearly visible. For a while, he was a little stunned.
"Hey!"
Ke Yinzhi waved his purse in front of his eyes.
"Oh!"
Dai Ran relieved himself, and was about to reach out to take it, but when he was about to receive it, Ke Yinzhi playfully retracted his hand holding the purse, and then stretched out the palm of his other hand up in front of Dai Ran.
"Huh?"
When Dai Ran saw this scene, his heart jumped violently as if he had completed an underwater apnea training. He was a little hesitant, but also a little yearning. The left hand was tightly clenched into a fist to cheer himself up, and the right hand reached over, just touching Ke Yinzhi's slender fingertips, and was about to grasp her little hand.
"Smack!"
"What do you think?" Ke Yinzhi suddenly retracted his hand.
"Oh~~"
Behind the canoe not far away, there was a wailing wolf cry that unfortunately wasn't mine. Immediately afterwards, I saw Mo Jinghui rushing over from behind and throwing two training smoke bombs into the crowd. Suddenly, in a burst of coughing and wailing, the group of people scattered and fled.
"Don't let me remember your names, don't get on the ship for a while, and follow me on the training ship." At this time, Mo Jinghui's somewhat harsh and sharp female voice was so pleasant to listen to Dai Ran's ears. ….
A small episode just happened to flush out the embarrassment of the misunderstanding between the two people.
"Your Majesty said, you will leave tonight?" Ke Yinzhi played with his embroidered purse.
"Depart tonight." Dai Ran was like a fool, and he repeated what others said.
"Your Majesty said, it's very dangerous for you to go this time?" Ke Yinzhi doesn't play with purses anymore, and she thinks that Dai Ran's state is rare.
"It's dangerous." This thing probably doesn't know what it's talking about.
"Your Majesty said, you don't have to listen to Mo Jinghui, people come first, just come back safely."
"Come back safely...... Well, that's not true. If we don't take it here at night, the completion of the task comes first, Your Majesty, that's nonsense." At this point, Dai Ran's self-thinking soul returned to his body.
"Besides, if we can't handle more than fifty pirates who have left the sea, let alone Your Majesty, I won't forgive myself."
"Got it." Ke Yinzhi watched the sea gradually slap on the beach at high tide.
"This is my embroidered purse." She finally mustered up the courage and handed Dai Ran a small purse in her hand. "I didn't have a mother for a long time, my mother was sick and absent, and I had no one to teach me, so I couldn't compare with the craftsmanship of the girls from your big families. Today I saw that there were thirty real physicians and medicinal herbs on the merchant ship that would return to Sumatra with me tomorrow. Really, I'm just like you, and the Sumatra of the Ming Dynasty is my life."
Dai Ran glanced at the purse, and it was not an ordinary mandarin duck picture, but two chubby fish. Then, on the body of the fish, a pair of small wings were embroidered with silver thread, and the blue water ripples below should be the sea, and two fish flew above the sea.
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
Fruit is available. 】
"Flying fish, I think it's beautiful."
Dai Ran took out the standard bag issued by his army, and then poured all the contents on the beach, and put it into the purse embroidered with flying fish.
After doing this, he took out a key from under a stone behind him and Ke Yinzhi and handed it to Ke Yinzhi.
"I didn't have a chance to take you back to the academy to see it. You've also met your parents, and I was raised by my sister since I was a child. In comparison, the college is more like my home."
"This is the key that holds the title deed of the 100 acres of land and the house I was assigned to Jingshi, and there will always be a cabinet of mine in the academy. If I ......"
"Oh~~"
Ke Yinzhi kicked him directly on the calf, making him speechless in pain.
Dai Ran rubbed his legs and continued:
"Mo Jinghui is also a graduate of the academy, if you don't know how to find a cabinet, you can go to her."
How about the wrong knife
