On the sixth day of August, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

Lin Haoran bid farewell to the villagers and embarked on the journey of the imperial examination again. He was accompanied on the road by the men of Changlin Village, who were going to deliver the soap to Dianbaigang.

"Nineteen, have a nice trip!"

"Nineteen, come back with a lift!"

"Tiger girl, you have to pay attention too!"

……

Villagers gathered on the edge of the barn to see off the convoy. Especially Lin Haoran, who is wearing a student uniform, this talented man who is expected by everyone to be high, everyone hopes that he can go one step further and become a master.

"My brother will come back with a lifter!"

The tiger girl waved her fleshy little hand and said goodbye to everyone seriously.

Looking at the children who saw her off, she told the mouse to tell her if she was bullied, and at the same time glared at the dog, so frightened that the dog hurriedly waved his hand to show that he did not dare.

During this time, Tiger Niu has established her status and prestige.

Not to mention that her brother is very likely to be admitted to the lifting of people this time, even if he can't pass the test, it still won't affect her status as the child king now, and I'm afraid that no one will dare to bully the mice under her protection.

The mouse is very thin, but the facial features are delicate, choking on tears and waving with the tiger girl. How did she not know that the tiger girl really felt sorry for her, and seeing that the tiger girl was going to the outside world again, she was very reluctant in her heart.

After waving goodbye to everyone, the car slowly set off.

This is Lin Haoran embarking on a new journey of the imperial examination, and it is also the beginning of the prosperity of Changlin Village.

When the convoy arrived at Aoba Town, Uncle Ram was already waiting at the door of the restaurant, preparing some cakes and barbecue for them to eat on the way.

Hu Niu ran to the old man to buy a sugar man, and the old man knew that it was Xiao Sanyuan who went to take the exam, so he blew a champion candy man to Lin Haoran, but he refused to accept the money.

This time, he still won't enter Shicheng, but will rush directly to Huazhou City, and then go from Huazhou City to Dianbai City the next day.

When he was in Huazhou City, the convoy followed Zhao Dongcheng to converge, and he also rushed to Guangzhou Mansion to participate in the scientific expedition.

If it weren't for Lin Haoran's existence, this fifteen-year-old beautiful scholar would undoubtedly be the most dazzling existence in Shicheng this year. After passing three hurdles all the way, he will now participate in the scientific examination, and there is a great possibility to participate in the township examination.

Hu Niu's impression of Zhao Dongcheng is not good or bad, Jiang Ronghua gave her a beautiful little red horse, Gu Qingfeng gave her a good-looking dagger, but Zhao Dongcheng gave her a sachet and a hairpin, but those two things were left at home and not brought over.

It is worth mentioning that the little red horse did not bring it, and the little thing was too small to travel far.

With money and skilled dyeers, Lin had the idea of building a dyeing workshop in Huazhou City. However, many things can only stay on the idea, after all, the township test is much more important than this kind of thing.

At noon the next day, the convoy successfully arrived at Dianbaicheng.

Due to the existence of the god and the natural advantage of the electric white port, the city seems lively and prosperous. Even compared with Gaozhou City, it is not much worse.

The handover of the goods was very smooth, and Shen Liuye was very satisfied with the goods after taking David Simang to inspect the goods.

After greeting Lin Haoran, Shen Liuye walked in front of Wu Daoxing with a smiling face, saying that he had prepared wine and food, and invited this "master" to the mansion as a guest very carefully.

Lin Haoran was not in a hurry to leave for Guangzhou Mansion, he found Gu Qingfeng in the city, and the three of them went to Jiang Ronghua together. Although he has a grudge with Jiang Fu, his relationship with Jiang Ronghua is still there.

Gu Qingfeng has been going to Guangzhou Mansion a lot recently, so he talked to Lin Haoran about the people and things in Guangzhou Mansion on the way, and also recommended that he can take a sea boat to go, which will be much more convenient.

Jiang Ronghua's house in Dianbaicheng is very ordinary, but I don't know if it's low-key or because of limited economic strength. The porter had an impression of Lin Haoran, and he was also very familiar with Gu Qingfeng, so he immediately went back to Tongyu.

The butler quickly walked out and invited the three of them to the living room for tea.

When he saw Jiang Ronghua again, Lin Haoran was taken aback. It's just that I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the whole person is a lot haggard, his chin is full of stubble, his eyes are bloodshot, and his body lacks the richness of the son.

It's just that the three of them already know what happened, and they can't help but sigh secretly, but they are a little powerless.

As maritime trade flourished, waves of pirates appeared near Tokyo Bay.

Tokyo Bay is bordered by Leizhou and Qiongzhou in the east, Lianzhou in the north, and Annam in the west.

Although the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict sea ban and set up 24 guards along the coast, Shendianwei also set up Shendianwei here in western Guangdong, and Shendianwei set up thousands of households in various places.

At that time, when the Shendian Guard was first established, it had dozens of warships, and its combat power was amazing. It's just that more than a hundred years have passed now, and those warships have long been abandoned, and in order to support Jiangsu and Zhejiang to resist the Japanese, the ships of the guard have been completely emptied.

In terms of personnel, there has been no increase.

Because the Ming Dynasty implemented a hereditary military household and no recruitment policy, once it lost in an important war, it would take decades of recuperation to recover. Unfortunately, the Yao people had already captured the Shendian Acropolis during the orthodox years, and the personnel could be described as suffering heavy casualties.

In the following 100 years, it was also very unpeaceful here in western Guangdong, and the war sometimes affected Shendianwei, and the personnel continued to suffer.

Regardless of the frequent battles or the lack of food in the Ming Dynasty, the lower-level soldiers had reasons to flee, so the Shendianwei could no longer afford to protect the sea frontier, let alone grasp the situation in the coastal sea.

Not to mention elsewhere for the time being, several islands near Leizhou Mansion are entrenched in several groups of pirates all year round, and they are not afraid of the divine electric guard at all. They have been carrying the idea of ships to and from the South Seas all year round, and occasionally they will make a fortune along the coast.

But I don't know if I saw that Shendian Wei was weak, or if he was really cornered by taxes, even the people in Gaozhou Mansion were engaged in the profession of piracy.

Jiang Ronghua's father was undoubtedly unlucky, and his entire ship was sacked by pirates on his way to Qiongzhou Capital. The pirates were so cruel that they burned the ship as well, leaving only an empty shell and a pile of dead bodies.

When the news reached Jiang Ronghua's ears, he immediately left the upcoming hospital examination and immediately set off to return to Dianbai City.

If he reported to the official normally, Jiang Ronghua's father could be condemned to death. It's just that Jiang Ronghua thinks that his father may still be alive, but he was taken captive by pirates.

It was precisely because of this that after Jiang Ronghua returned to Dianbai City, he began to inquire around for news, hoping to get in touch with the group of pirates who had kidnapped his father and thus rescue his father.
