Feng Fu, who was in a coma, seemed to dream of the scene before departure again, in which Shopkeeper Ding humiliated him again and again with brand-new bonds and shiny silver coins, and again and again.

Feng Fu was a special outlier in the Manchu court, he was one of the very few officials in the court who could abide by his own moral standards, and he was a minister who really came up step by step through the imperial examination.

Although he was only a Hanlin, he looked down on his colleagues who had become officials in other ways, and in his eyes, the other officials were either hats obtained by selling official beards, or hats were exchanged for human blood through murderous conquests.

Neither of them is a pure minister, and the government of the Great Qing Dynasty is to let these people stir up Huang.

Therefore, Feng Fu closely united under the banner of the leader Weng Tonggong, and guarded the last pure land of the Qing Dynasty with their strict morality, they could be poor, but they always believed that they were the future hope of the Qing Dynasty.

It wasn't until after the Hubu Bond Incident, when the entire imperial bureaucracy compromised with a private bank, and even he himself began to collect black money, that Feng Fu's values completely collapsed.

He began to drink heavily, ordering a meal at the yamen every morning, and then starting to drink at noon, and he used almost all the money sent by the shopkeeper Ding to buy wine, and it was all good wine.

If you drink too much, you will talk nonsense, what will be the end of the Qing Dynasty sooner or later, Shinong Industry and Commerce will have been reversed a long time ago, and now the world and country of merchants have been in chaos.

He Feng Fu is a Hanlin official, and he lives by scolding, even the officials of Shuntian Mansion and the soldiers of the Admiral of Jiumen dare not arrest him, and besides, if Lord Weng protects him, others can't move.

But the owner of the restaurant is afraid! Such a time bomb is placed around him, if he really says a few words that are very rebellious, then what can he do? I can't stand eating melons and fishing!

The note about not talking about state affairs was almost pasted on Xiao Er's head and shown to Feng Fu, but this drunk was still unmoved and still full of nonsense, and finally all the restaurants in the capital saw him and shirked and said that they were full, and they didn't dare to do his business.

There was no way to drink outside, so he spent money to order noodles to send to the family to drink, and his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law could also satisfy their hunger by the way, but the loser at home was really ignorant, and he received a little favor from Xiao Letian and said good things about others every day.

Women are really long haired and short in knowledge, you tell him the words of a sage, she prefers to talk about charcoal money, you tell him about the three outlines and five constants, she can turn to the price of flower cloth, and even say what makes the people eat the court is a good court, whether there is a Qing Dynasty or not, it doesn't matter if there is a bastard.

This can be regarded as poking the lung tube of Lord Feng, who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he raised his hand to be a big slap: "It has been 200 years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and this is the destiny of heaven! Whoever dares to act against the sky is a rebellion against God!"

The girl was so frightened that she cried, and the daughter-in-law covered her face and ran out, and finally dropped a sentence, "I don't know what destiny is not destiny, I know that no matter how big the destiny is, people have to live...... You are all officials, and you still have to live by being an official, but you can imagine what kind of hard life the villagers in your hometown are living......"

"Destiny, destiny! Destiny still doesn't give people enough to eat!"

"You bastard......" As soon as he heard that his daughter-in-law dared to fight back, Feng Fu angrily smashed all the wine and food on the table at the daughter-in-law outside the window, he wanted to find some sharp words to refute this loser, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a reasonable reason to make the people hungry.

At that moment, he was even more confused, what is the Mandate of Heaven? Is it really the doctrine of the reincarnation of the five elements? Or is it luck? Or is it the collective karma that the Buddhists say? Is the Mandate of Heaven really still there?

With this question, he found Weng Tongyi, but he didn't expect the master to give an answer, but instead named him and asked him to visit together.

"The doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven is too complicated, and I can't understand it as a teacher, I used to think as stubbornly as you, but now it's not...... We have the mandate of heaven in the Qing Dynasty, do you say that the longhair in the south does not have a mandate of heaven? Do Japan, Korea, and the Ryukyus have no mandate of heaven?"

"Further afield, there are those powerful countries in Europa, do they have the same destiny as ours? So, the world is so big, I want to see ......"

Feng Fu was dumbfounded, this was the first time he had heard a completely different voice from his master's mouth, and being able to say these words could only show one point, Weng Tongyi had abandoned the old idea that the Heavenly Empire was the center of the world, and he was already trying to open his eyes to see the world.

Feng Fu...... Wake up, use your eyes to see for yourself what someone else's destiny is...... How to break the game depends on the present dynasty......

"Master!" Feng Fu woke up from his slumber with a loud roar, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was actually sleeping in a tent on the deck, it turned out that everyone disliked him and moved him to the empty deck.

Shopkeeper Ding was looking into the distance with a telescope, and when he woke up, he smiled and said, "Look, the big island in front is Ryukyu, and in two hours, we will be able to land!"

"Ryukyu!" Feng Fu poured a lot of water on his face to make himself more sober, and he slowly turned his gaze to the outside of the ship, only to be shocked by the prosperity outside.

"Oh my God, why are there so many ships? I've never seen so many ships in my life, and I thought Tanggu was already the largest port in the world......

"Hahaha...... Are you kidding, you haven't seen the hustle and bustle of the Lion City in the Strait of Malacca, let alone the prosperity of Hong Kong and Shanghai, which are all famous Asian ports on a par with the Ryukyus!"

"Lord Feng, haven't you been shouting in your dreams what is the Mandate of Heaven? Now open your eyes and take a good look, what is the Destiny of the Ryukyus? If you can't even analyze such a small island country, then save your effort and don't analyze the Qing Dynasty anymore!"

Feng Fu's eyes were an extremely dreamy scene, the sea was full of sails, tall cargo ships were full of goods from all over the world sailing on the ocean, and there were many flags from all over the world that were dazzling.

The quay in the distance and the end of the ridge are full of houses, and many of them are two- or three-story structures, and it is hard to imagine how many people there will be in this city.

The streets are full of people, dark and dreary like a big river, and the boiling popularity can be felt here in the sea.

Not only that, on the hills guarding the dock, the gray-white forts and the black hole of the cannon muzzles, murderously vigilant against the ocean, the solemn momentum made him, a civilian official who did not know soldiers, feel it.

The dream-like city has deeply attracted them from the first sight, and the most stubborn Qingliu envoys of the Qing Dynasty have collectively lost their voices at this moment.

Note: Today's third watch is sent, I originally wanted to be four more today, but there is really something delayed, and the one watch owed will be sent tomorrow, that is to say, the third watch will continue tomorrow.
