Ho Keng, later known as the Macau Peninsula, was not fertile. Located at the mouth of the Pearl River and the Xijiang River, the soil tends to be alkaline, and deep wells need to be drilled to obtain drinkable fresh water.

However, this is not without merit, in addition to the natural harbor on the edge of the Xijiang River, there are many granite mines in the mountains around here, which are very suitable for use as building materials.

In fact, after the Portuguese occupied the area, a large part of the materials for the houses they built were obtained from mining. Today, there are still several granite mines, which provide a steady supply of building stone for the mirror.

With the increasing role of the Ho Ho Mirror Pier, Ho Ho Ho has become like a bustling town. There are Chinese-style brick and wood buildings, as well as Western-style stone buildings, showing the grand occasion of the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures.

Along a characteristic stone road, the group came to the discussion square in a majestic manner.

Since all the officials of Xiangshan County came together, the number of officials and servants brought with them reached 100, and Lin Haoran's majestic honor guard immediately aroused the strong attention of the residents of the two countries here.

After learning that the official headed by him turned out to be the official named Lin Haoran, the Portuguese residents here were quite complicated.

On the one hand, Lin Haoran drove their Portuguese compatriots away from the area and sent officials to govern them; On the other hand, Lin Haoran protected their homeownership and allowed them to continue doing business here.

Watching the majestic Lin Haoran get down from the official sedan chair, they didn't have much hostility, but they inevitably maintained a kind of vigilance, this person undoubtedly had the ability to control their life and death.

"Xiaguan Guangdong City, Deputy Bo Division, promoted Chen Jing to participate in the promotion!"

"The lowly Haojing Inspection Division inspects Zhang Nanying to participate in the Fuzun Lord!"

"The last general, Xiangshan Thousand Households, Thousand Households, Qiao Yifeng, participated in the Mansion!"

……

Chen Jing, Qiao Yifeng, and Zhang Nanying, who were the supreme rulers of this territory, were already waiting here, and with a group of subordinates, they respectfully saluted Lin Haoran who got off the sedan chair.

After Lin Haoran let the gang get up, his eyes fell on Qiao Yifeng, and he nodded slightly to him and said, "You did a good job!" ”

Qiao Yifeng was born in Leizhouwei, and thanks to his own courage and Lin Haoran's support, he climbed step by step from a small flag to the position of thousands of households in Xiangshan.

During his tenure, he did not disappoint Lin Haoran, not only firmly holding Hao Jing in the hands of Daming, but also managing those Portuguese who like to cause trouble.

After these years of training, Qiao Yifeng's skin is darker, his body is stronger, and his eyes are bright.

Although his body is still on the thin side, he already shows the style of a general. Looking at his spirit, even if he encounters Shi Huashan's ruthlessness, he has the courage to fight.

"Lord Xie Fuzun's compliment!" Qiao Yifeng smiled happily as if he had eaten honey.

In the military and political system of the Ming Dynasty, Xiangshan Qianhu was subordinate to Nanhaiwei and was not under the jurisdiction of Lin Haoran, the prefect of Guangzhou. But the Ming Dynasty was a civilian official, and even the military department was controlled by civilian officials, so the military generals did not dare to be tough on civilian officials.

For example, although Lin Haoran is only the prefect of Guangzhou with the fourth grade, even if the general soldiers of the two Guangxi are facing Lin Haoran, they dare not point fingers at Lin Haoran, so they can only sit on an equal footing.

Qiao Yifeng was originally brought up by Lin Haoran, and now Lin Haoran is in full swing again. As long as there is no problem with his head, he naturally has to look at Lin Haoran's head and hug this thick thigh tightly.

Lin Haoran turned to face the Western-style church, and made a cross gesture and prayed to the cross of Jesus on the church from a distance, as if he were a devout believer.

Godfather Gaspar D.A. Cruz came with a group of missionaries to hear the news, and when he saw Lin Haoran behaving like this, his heart was also shocked.

If it weren't for the other party's status and identity here, he really thought that he had succeeded in influencing a devout believer. For Lin Haoran, Gaspar has slowly let go of that bit of hatred, but has more goodwill and gratitude.

Although Lin Haoran snatched the sovereignty of the area back from their hands and explicitly forbade the Portuguese sea patrol envoys to enter, it did not prevent them from the Jesuit missionary here.

Today, the Jesuits were able to legally admit hundreds of believers here, resulting in a very effective missionary work that was even highly praised by the Pope.

"Is this the barbaric Ming official?"

Due to the outstanding achievements of the missionary work of Ho Kagyo, the Jesuits sent more missionaries to Ho Kagyo, and Ferdinand was one of them, and he had a high status in the Jesuit Society.

Ferdinand was a declining aristocrat in England who had always had a very arrogant temperament. Especially when I came to the East, I saw the poverty of India and the backwardness of Japan, and I felt a strong sense of pride.

For the so-called Ming Dynasty, he is more ignorant in his eyes. For a little spice called ambergris, those ignorant officials did not hesitate to pay a very high price to get it from the Portuguese, and the whole country seemed to live for the emperor alone.

As for the young Ming official in front, in his heart he was just synonymous with "barbarism" and "ignorance".

For the sake of this small port, he dared to expel the royal representatives of the Grape People, and he was not afraid that the powerful Portuguese army would take crazy revenge on the Ming Dynasty and destroy the country directly.

"Dear Lord Lin, welcome!"

The godfather, Gaspar D.A. Cruz, led the priests to Lin Haoran and greeted him respectfully and politely with church liturgy.

Hey?

But at this time, everyone suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right.

Facing the respectful Gaspa, Lin Haoran didn't make any response, and looked at his godfather Gaspa indifferently.

Li Jialiang, the magistrate of the county, stood behind Lin Haoran, and at this time he also turned his head to look at Lin Haoran in confusion. It was precisely because of Lin Haoran's advice that he was very polite to these missionaries, but he never thought that Lin Haoran seemed to be very dissatisfied with these missionaries.

"Hello my lord, I am Ferdinand, a holy priest of the Society of Jesus!" Ferdinand broke this humor, and felt good about himself and stood up and made a noble salute to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran's gaze moved away from Lingaspar's body, and then fell coldly on Ferdinand, in Ferdinand's puzzled gaze, he slowly spoke: "Why don't you kneel when you see this mansion?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence everywhere.
