Lin Haoran looked at the wild girl who was firmly attracted by the sheepskin treasure map, but sighed helplessly.

He and Tiger Niu undoubtedly have a completely different pursuit, this wild girl yearns for wealth, while he is more inclined to chase power, or even the supreme power.

Although he strongly advocated the development of the South Seas, he did not simply chase wealth. It is more to hand over a beautiful report card of Kaihai, so as to become the leader of the Kaihai faction, which is essentially for the promotion of personal career.

From the information of later generations, he naturally knew that the most attractive thing in the South Seas was not spices, but unmined gold mines, and that there was still a large unexplored continent from the Philippines to the south.

It's just that the opening of the sea has reached this point, and with this report card, he can completely report to the imperial court, and there is no need for him to take too many risks. After all, what he pursues is a personal career, even if he helps Daming transport back a mountain of gold, the essence may not necessarily help his career.

Most importantly, although the mining of Nanyang gold mines can solve the core crux of the current Ming Dynasty, it will also give rise to many problems, and even have an adverse impact on his personal image.

In this era, it's not that the more brilliant you are, the higher your official position will be. If he performs too well, I am afraid that he can only become "Daming Yue Fei", and I am afraid that he will never want to be the first assistant for the rest of his life.

In later life, he may choose to be a rich man. But in this feudal era, even if he has 10 million taels of silver in front of him, he will choose to chase the supreme power.

It is precisely because of this that he chose to give the treasure map of Nanyang to this adventurous wild girl on this special day, so that she can influence the direction of Nanyang.

"Brother, don't worry! I will assemble a very powerful fleet, and then bring back a lot of gold from the South Seas, so that we don't have to starve anymore! The tiger girl carefully put away the parchment roll and said solemnly with a raised face.

Lin Haoran looked at this red face, these big clear and bright eyes, and seemed to suddenly understand this sister better, and faintly saw what they had lost as a group of officials who were familiar with the way of Confucius and Mencius.

If it is in a democratic society, this wild girl is undoubtedly more suitable to be the head of state.

After the birthday of the tiger girl, it is the Laba Festival.

Although later generations said that it was said with relish, the Laba Festival originated from Zhu Yuanzhang. Rumors: When Yuan Zhang was suffering in prison, it was a cold day, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was cold and hungry, actually found some red beans, rice, red dates and other seven or eight kinds of grains from the mouse hole in the prison. Zhu Yuanzhang boiled these things into porridge, because it was the eighth day of the lunar month, and Zhu Yuanzhang called this pot of multigrain porridge Laba porridge. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world, sat in the north and faced the south to become the emperor, in order to commemorate the special day in the prison, he set this day as the Laba Festival, and officially named the multigrain porridge he ate that day Laba porridge.

But in fact, the Laba Festival is a festival food custom that originates from commemorating the national hero Yue Fei. It is said that the Yuejia army crusaded against the Jin Yu in Zhuxian Town, but was forced back by the imperial court's twelve gold medals, on the way back to the division, the soldiers were hungry and hungry, the people of Henan along the way poured the food sent by each family into the cauldron, boiled into porridge and distributed to the soldiers to fill the hunger and cold, this day happened to be the eighth day of the lunar month. Then Yue Fei was killed in Fengbo Pavilion, in order to cherish the memory of this national hero, the people of Henan every time on the day of Laba, every family eats "everyone's meal" to show their nostalgia.

In addition, according to legend, this day is the day when the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, enlightened and founded Buddhism under the Buddha Yabodhi, that is, the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, so it is also called the "Buddha Enlightenment Festival".

On this day, Lin Haoran wanted to lead the officials of Nanyang and Panyu counties to the Chenghuang Temple as the prefect of Guangzhou, praying for a good harvest and auspiciousness for the Guangzhou Mansion.

It has been nearly a year since he took office in a hurry in the first month. Although it was not a long time, the changes brought about by his tenure were obvious, and the smiles on the faces of the people of Guangzhou were brighter, and their purses were more abundant.

It is also a coincidence that when Lin Haoran led the officials to pray for blessings, a rainbow appeared in the northern sky, and there was light scattered in the sky, and the rainbow happened to guard the landmark building-Zhenhai Tower.

Zhenhai Building was built in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, with five layers of double eaves, more than eight zhang high. In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing, Admiral Cai Jing and Zhang Yue rebuilt Zhenhai Tower, because the southeast coast often suffers from Japanese invaders, the sea frontier is not quiet, and the coastal defense needs to be strengthened, so Zhang Yue named it "Zhenhai Tower", containing the meaning of "Xiongzhen Haijiang".

"This is auspicious from heaven!"

"Such a spectacle, it's rare to see in a hundred years!"

"Lord Fuzun is praying for blessings, and such a celestial phenomenon immediately appears, it must be a hint from heaven that Guangzhou is flourishing!"

……

Hundreds of thousands of people in the city saw this spectacle and immediately knelt down and worshipped. Seeing such celestial phenomena, I am full of confidence in the upcoming 40 years of Jiajing, and I know that it will be a better year.

After Lin Haoran's governance and development, the people were originally very confident in the coming days, and this vision that happened to appear undoubtedly greatly enhanced the optimistic attitude of the people of Guangzhou.

In the following days, the people of Guangzhou City happily began to buy the New Year's Festival, full of expectations for the upcoming 40 years of Jiajing, believing that Guangzhou City will become more prosperous, and even the third most prosperous super city in the Ming Dynasty.

In the city of Beijing, the sky was gray, and pieces of snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky in this ancient city.

There were fewer cars and pedestrians on the streets, and the Yin Shi House lit a charcoal fire and enjoyed a relatively comfortable life. But some homeless people are curled up in the corner, and I am afraid that this year will not be easy.

The snow kept falling, the sky was still overcast, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker. It's still daylight, but it gives the illusion of late afternoon.

In the West Garden, a group of officials dressed in red newspapers braved the wind and snow to walk in the palace road, and walked towards the brightly lit Wanshou Palace together.

Ahem......

Yan Song was dressed very thickly, but he was blown by the wind with snow flakes, and his throat couldn't help but cough lightly, and a snowflake fell on his eyebrows as if it were one.

Yan Shifan, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, supported his father, and at the same time used his short and fat body to help withstand the wind and snow, but his fat face was red from the cold, but he cursed this god hatefully.

"Plum blossoms are spring, Ruixue is a mega year, this snow is falling well!" Zhou Yan, the imperial history of Zuodu, was talking to Xu Jiezheng, but at this time, he proudly sighed in front of the wind and snow.

Although Yan Shifan was arrogant, he was still a little jealous of Zhou Yan, who had been in control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than ten years, and immediately cursed hatefully: "If you wear so little, you deserve to freeze to death!" ”

But I don't know that this is really a prophecy, of course, this is a later story.
