In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the twenty-sixth month of La.

Sitting on the steam ironclad warship "Tianxia", Zheng Fusong embarked on a journey back to his hometown in Fujian.

brought his mother Tagawa Song and younger brother Zheng Weisong - the younger brother changed his name, from the original Japanese name Tagawa Nanazaemon, to Zheng Weisong, returned to the Han name and surname, and cut off the Japanese identity, even though he has half Japanese blood on his body, but now he is a member of the Chinese tribe and wears Ming clothes.

In fact, Zheng Fusong's own name has also changed, he lacks wood in the five elements, so his real name is Sen, the word is Damu, but he initially completed the transformation of Hirado, won the hearts of the local people, recruited boatmen and fishermen, and built Hirado into a second fishing center port and an important commercial port, which began to bring certain economic benefits.

Excellent.

For his comprehensive performance, the teacher Xu Yuan gave him a ninety-ten-percent excellent evaluation and gave him a high evaluation.

And in order to show his reward, he gave him the word 'success', because he successfully rescued his younger brother, successfully managed Hirado, and brought benefits to his success, and also hoped to make a bigger and more successful career in the future, so it is most appropriate to give him the word success.

"From now on, my name is Zheng Chenggong!"

Zheng Fusong, no, Zheng Chenggong likes and is satisfied with this word very much, because it sounds loud and has a beautiful meaning.

As for returning to Anping, Fujian with his mother and younger brother this time, the main purpose is to go home for the New Year, so that Zheng Weisong, who has not seen his father for many years, can see his biological father and realize the reunion of the family.

Because in the traditional Chinese culture, there is nothing more important than the reunion of family members.

Although his father Zheng Zhilong has no responsibility in rescuing his younger brother, he has been repeatedly disappointed, but from his point of view, no matter how much money he sends, he really can't feed the appetite of the Matsuura clan, and he will only intensify the blackmail, the best way is to rely on hard power, only huge wealth is not enough.

The Zheng family must find a way to improve their military hard power in order to earn respect.

So this time back, in addition to the New Year's reunion, Zheng Chenggong also wants to put forward some suggestions, such as comprehensively promoting compulsory education, improving technical strength, vigorously learning the Xujiazhuang model, etc., to spend the honeysuckle in the cellar, cultivate more talents, build more big ships, and also find a way to enter the era of steamboats, only in this way, can we catch up with the pace of the Age of Discovery, and bring maximum benefits.

In short, Zheng Chenggong wants to put forward at least dozens or hundreds of suggestions, and hopes that his father Zheng Zhilong will adopt it, even if his father Zheng Zhilong's style of acting has become much more conservative and stable in recent years, but he is after all the shrewd and capable, self-made, long-sleeved Zheng Yiguan, and he will not disappoint in major matters.

That's right, in Zheng Chenggong's mind, he admires the teacher Xu Yuan the most, but his father Zheng Zhilong also has a great influence on him, he respects his father very much, because governing a small flat household can make him often feel anxious, and single-handedly created the Zheng Group, controls most of Fujian, and in just a dozen years, Zheng Zhilong, who has created this huge foundation, will he be a simple character?

Those who can do great things must have something extraordinary.

……

On the afternoon of the 27th.

The Tianxia arrived at Anping Port.

Zheng Chenggong, Tian Chuansong and others got off the boat, and the maids carried large boxes and small boxes of luggage, as well as all kinds of New Year's gifts, and ran more than once.

Due to the telegram notice sent in advance, there were servants of the Zheng family waiting here on the dock, and when they saw Zheng Chenggong and others getting off the ship, they immediately stepped forward to greet them with excitement:

"Big lady, big young master, second young master!"

"Madame has worked hard all the way."

"I'm finally back, my lord, I've been looking forward to your coming back every day for the past few days."

"Go get the wagon over and send a few people to help carry the things." The housekeeper commanded and arranged.

Zheng Chenggong took off a tweed jacket on his body, took off the scarf around his neck, spit out a breath without mist, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's much warmer here than Harbour City, it's warm all year round, as long as the construction is good, the development potential here is no less than Harbour City, and even more advantageous, because the business and trade activities in winter are completely unaffected by the climate, and most units in Harbour City have to take a month's winter vacation." ”

It is completely possible to turn Anping Port, including the adjacent Xiamen Port, into a new wealth center on the southeast coast of Daming.

The future will not be weaker than the wealth center of Harbour City.

Looking at the port, the port with less than 50 berths is relatively primitive for manpower to move and unload goods, the wharf warehouse is not particularly many, the road used for external transportation is not wide and flat enough, and the annual cargo throughput is estimated to be only a few million stones, and the potential for improvement is very large.

However, on the way to Anhai Town (that is, Anping City, or Anping Fort, which is a small city in the style of a fortress), Zheng Chenggong found that this road is very well built, all flat cement roads, especially the Anping Bridge with a length of more than 100 meters across the Jinjiang River, which was originally mainly wooden structure, but now it is a cement pier + reinforced concrete bridge deck structure, which is extremely strong, not to mention, the width of the bridge deck reaches two zhang, and the traffic capacity is very strong.

And to build such a bridge, the cost is at least more than 150,000 silver dollars.

Along the cement road, after entering the Zheng Mansion of Anpingbao.

Everything in this fortress was dumbfounded by Zheng Chenggong.

First of all, the solar photovoltaic panels, covering most of the sloping roof, under the sun, emitting a black sparkle-like reflection, extremely eye-catching and conspicuous, but the problem is that this kind of solar photovoltaic panels are only Xujiazhuang equipment, although outsiders are not unable to buy, but one must have a friendly relationship with each other, the other is that it can only be purchased with gold, which is extremely expensive.

Secondly, inside Anping Fort, there are also a lot of street lamp pole devices, and a set of lighting system covering the entire fortress has been established, and there is no need to wait until night, in the case of sufficient power supply, the electric lights in the house are bright, so no matter day or night, it is a very bright scene.

Finally, there is the luxury and opulence that is palatable.

Such as tiles that cover almost every corner of the room.

Whether it is furniture ornaments or beams and walls, there are gilt and silver plating, stone inlays and jade everywhere, and I don't know how much gold leaf and silver powder have been used.

A flush toilet made of almost pure gold.

A large glass fish tank with a large number of ornamental fish indoors.

It is also a variety of commonly used items and utensils, either gilded or silver, or the appearance is gorgeous and beautiful, and it must look like the word luxury.

After a rough tour.

Zheng Chenggong came to the conclusion that almost, at least in terms of the comfort and convenience of living facilities, Anpingbao, his hometown, is similar to Harbour City, the hardware facilities are basically the same, and in some aspects it is even better and more enjoyable.

For example, the specially customized electric massage table used by his father Zheng Zhilong, I don't know how I bought it, and there seem to be some special magical functions that cannot be known to children.

On the cabinet next to the electric massage table, there are a lot of small blue pills, I don't know what they are for.

And so on and so forth.

Through the observation of this circle.

Practice.

Zheng Chenggong found that his father Zheng Zhilong, in many ways, had long been in line with Xujiazhuang, and went much farther than he imagined, he had long understood the advanced points of Xujiazhuang, and tried to obtain and enjoy these advanced.

But here's the problem!

Since in daily life, his father Zheng Zhilong has achieved full integration with Xujiazhuang, why has nothing changed in the wharf of Anping Port, even if there is not even an electric crane? It can only be carried by primitive manpower.

Well, the purchase of cranes may be a bit troublesome, so can you purchase more than one of the tire-tired flat cars and transport trucks to improve the capacity of cargo transportation, instead of continuing to use the old-fashioned wooden wheels and iron-clad carriages.

In addition, if a lighting system is installed in the port, so that the port can operate at night, then the cargo throughput can be increased by at least six or seven percent.

But nothing has changed.

Anping Port has hardly changed from the way it was two or three years ago.

Only in Anping Fort, in the Zheng family's mansion, in terms of life enjoyment, Xujiazhuang's advanced things can be seen everywhere, if these expenses and resources are used in the transformation of Anping Port, it is estimated that a port with an annual cargo throughput of more than 50 million stones can be built.

Why only focus on daily enjoyment, instead of focusing on improving and developing productivity, resulting in the development of the Zheng family is relatively slow, and there is no big steam ship until now?

What's the problem?

……

In the evening, a banquet to celebrate the reunion of the family.

Father Zheng Zhilong finally ended the fight with the nineteenth concubine in Xinna, and remembered his original wife Tian Chuansong and his eldest son, who he valued the most, so he prepared for a while, and appeared in Zheng Chenggong's sight with a happy smile.

And when this fat man with a fat face, a body like a round ball, and a weight of no less than three hundred pounds, appeared in front of him, and sat in the main seat of the table to make the chair make an overwhelmed kaka.

I'm sorry, in the first time, Zheng Chenggong couldn't recognize who he was.

On the contrary, there was some kind of illusion: this person who is sitting in the master's position is clearly a pig!

"Fu'er, what are you doing, why don't you worship when you see your father?" It wasn't until Zheng Zhilong was quite displeased that he heard this familiar voice after he spoke to him.

"The child meets his father!"

Zheng Chenggong felt his scalp numb, so he had to bow to this head, no, to this man.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, Fu'er, you have grown taller and more mature, what you did in Hirado, I heard people say it, even the Japanese emperor was scared to make you the lord of Hirado, yes, very good, worthy of my Zheng Zhilong's species, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, there are successors to my Zheng family, come, let me hug my father."

Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand, took him in his arms closely, squeezed and squeezed with his potato-like body, and let out a happy and hearty laugh.

"Woo~"

Zheng Chenggong felt that his breathing was not smooth, and he also smelled a strong smell of rouge gouache, mixed with sweat and greasy, which felt like going to hell.

I couldn't help but wail in my heart: My father is not like this, nor should he be like this, in my heart, he is a heroic figure who stands up to the sky, even if he is far less than the teacher, he is at least one-tenth of the teacher.

But when he went home for the New Year this time, he felt that his assessment was wrong, and his current father, Zheng Zhilong, not to mention one-tenth of the teacher, may not have one percent or one thousandth, unless he loses 100 pounds of fat first! Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to accept that his father had fallen to this point.
