The envoy sent by Emperor Hongzhi was Wang Heng of Honglu Temple.

In order to find a route to Eastern Qin, Ma Wen was specially appointed as a deputy envoy to handle this matter together.

After preparing for more than half a month and walking for another month, the group arrived in Ningbo Mansion.

Originally, Ma Wensheng thought that getting rid of Zhang He would make it more difficult to go to Eastern Qin.

But when he went back to Ningbo Mansion to inquire, he found that in the entire Ningbo Mansion, the most talked about now is Dongqin.

It is said that the door is opened over there to welcome trade, as long as the businessmen pass, no matter how big or small, they can obtain the sea introduction documents.

There is no sea quotation document to transport goods in the past, which makes Ma Wensheng feel that heaven and earth are working together.

He immediately boasted about Haikou, saying that he could arrange everything properly, and Wang Heng was stunned.

A few days later, the group set off towards Yangang under the escort of Qiantang Water Master Qianhu Li Ying.

As soon as they left the port, they found that many merchants were also heading in the direction of Eastern Qin.

Wang Heng looked at it with a smile on his face.

He was well aware of the coastal situation and received tributary missions from the Ryukyus, Japan, and Nanyang.

In his opinion, Eastern Qin should be like Japan or Korea, as long as a little reprimand, supplemented by the generosity of the Ming Dynasty, the matter will definitely be over.

Compared with a Ryukyus, I believe that Dongqin is still more willing to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and a canonization qualification is enough to make Dongqin kowtow and thank him.

Two days later, their ship came to the sea off the salt port, and saw fifty or sixty ships docked in the harbor, and there were ships waiting for berths in front of them.

Even though the port area has expanded a lot, it is difficult to find a lot at the moment.

Not long after, a small boat of the Eastern Qin people came over, and after asking the reason, they were asked to wait in line, indicating that the main family could go ashore to rest.

Wang Heng and Ma Wensheng boarded the shore in a small boat.

Both of them had a sense of curiosity, looking at the red buildings in the port area, and suddenly felt novel.

Looking at those black people with short clothes and short hair, they are also curious, especially the dress of the black women, and the two of them quietly tasted it.

Soon, Wang Heng's attention was drawn to the strange buildings on both sides of the port area, the two building domes, with an elbow-like wall and moat outside.

Just when he was puzzled, he found that there were soldiers watching from above, and he immediately understood that this was a fort!

When I looked at it again, I found that there were three forts in this port, all of which were eye-catching red, and the structure was similar.

He didn't know the power of these forts, but he reacted that Eastern Qin was very different from the country of Nanyang projectiles.

Moreover, although the buildings of the Eastern Qin Dynasty are strange, they are scattered, and the streets are well distributed.

The road surface is made of unknown stones, but it looks quite smooth, and there are no potholes between the extensions.

Drive-drive-drive.

A groom drove the carriage and galloped down the road, kicking up some dust as it passed.

The various brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes of the mission were all wooden and wooden looking at the carriage passing by.

Wang Heng and Ma Wensheng are like two marmots, with long necks.

"Master Ma, that carriage pulls so much cargo just now, it seems that only one horse is used!"

"That's right, but there are four wheels!"

Wang Heng nodded, and was about to continue walking around to take a look, but found a female man coming over with a few soldiers.

He stood upright and ordered everyone to cheer up.

"You are...... Is it here to visit, the Ming Mission? The woman asked.

Wang Heng bowed to the north and said: "Exactly, I am a special envoy sent by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom to convey the holy message, Erdong Qin ......"

"Stop!" The woman said impatiently: "This matter is not under my control, and we can't do it in Yangang, so you can live in the guest house first and wait for the approval of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"What!" Wang Heng said angrily: "I am an angel, come to convey the holy message, the monarch of the country does not bathe and fast, and listen to the decree, but he still let me be allowed to see?"

"What kind of angels and shit do I care about you, I said it all, we only have the agency of the Ministry of Commerce in Yangang, which handles the sea introduction clerkship, but our department can't control your affairs!" The woman slammed back.

As he walked, he said, "Don't run around at the guest house, otherwise the local law court can convict you of espionage!"

Wang Heng was stunned, what kind of reason is this, what does it mean to ignore his department? What department? Six? Six subjects?

Ma Wensheng coughed and said, "Lord Wang, it's important to get down to business!"

Wang Heng came back to his senses, nodded his head, and followed a few soldiers in the direction of the guest house.

A moment later, he saw the fluttering star tassel flags, and the isolation rooms that had been red bricks, as well as a group of dark teenagers, who were playing not far away, both men and women, which made a group of people frown unconsciously.

Increasingly, they felt that this was a country they had never seen before.

Unclean...... Unclean...... Dirt - three whistles, drawing their thoughts.

The group turned their heads to look, only to see a puff of black smoke rising, and on a large wooden frame in the port, the rope stretched rapidly, and lifted the goods covered by a large net from the ship.

Looking further, it turned out that there was a turntable on the ground, and the rope was being quickly retracted.

The group unconsciously stopped, until they were pushed by the soldiers, and they walked to the guest house in a daze.

In the red building not far away, a burst of singing came out:

"On the coast of the East China Sea, there is a group of outstanding descendants of the Chinese nation......

The rise of China and the burden of history are all borne by ourselves......

Students! Active work, unity, tension, seriousness and liveliness, our style ......"

Wang Heng can understand the singing, and everyone can understand it, but there is an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After entering the guest house, one person is in one room, and it is not allowed to move around at will.

Wang Heng calmed down because of this, looking at the simple and simple decoration in the room, he felt that these red buildings were quite practical, at least the interior was spacious and tall.

But in his mind, the picture of Fang Cai always came to mind.

He felt that these red buildings should not be built for a long time, otherwise there would not be a large number of red houses still under construction.

What does this mean? This shows that the people of Dongqin are building houses one after another at an extremely fast speed.

Being able to do this shows that the Eastern Qin people have the ability to build a large number of buildings.

By their means, they not only built cannons and ships, but also horse-drawn carriages that could pull a lot of goods.

The thing that emitted black smoke but could quickly retract the rope, and the tall wooden frame made Wang Heng feel a little uneasy.

But gradually, his uneasy thoughts gathered in the picture of the group of frolicking teenagers.

He clearly saw that men and women were playing a ball together, and there were girls chirping and shouting next to them.

This picture alone made him understand that the foundation of the Three Platforms and Five Constants, the foundation of etiquette and religion, was not qualified to be sold at all in Eastern Qin.

Such a country, which considers itself Huaxia, will recognize the Ming Kingdom?

…………

The next day, Wang Heng, who got up early with insomnia, heard the chorus of "Singing Huaxia".

These lyrics are not difficult to understand, but he can listen to them, and instinctively close his ears.

Fortunately, after breakfast, news came that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had agreed to their request for a visit.

The group hurriedly packed their bags and boarded the boat bound for Meaux.

Along the way, Wang Heng didn't say a word, just looked at both sides of the strait, and the rest of the people were similar.

This is completely like another world, which makes Wang Heng have the idea that he doesn't want to stay for a moment, and he doesn't understand why he is so uncomfortable.

When they came to the Meaux wharf, the tall factories that had been built on both sides of the riverbank, as well as the large water wheels, did not surprise them and make them curious.

Except for a few who have an interest in exploring one or two, Wang Heng has no desire to explore the carriage he is riding.

On the way, he figured out why he was uncomfortable, Dongqin could recognize himself as Huaxia, he could make so many strange things, and he could have cannons and big ships.

But all this can't have nothing to do with famous teaching, nothing to do with famous education, or nothing to do with the world's readers.

It also shows that the stronger the Eastern Qin, the less it will be a good thing for them to be scholars.

If people don't need to use the way of Confucius and Mencius at all, they can achieve the era of great rule and peace and prosperity that Confucius and Mencius desired, it means that Mingjiao is not the only Taoist system.
