The report comforted the envoy that the front had reached Longwan outside the city of Nanjing. "Order all ships to drop anchor and wait for orders from the imperial court." Finally saw his hometown, at the end of July of the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, Yi Shijia, the envoy of Nanyang Xuan, led his fleet and returned to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. At the end of June, the fleet set off from the port of Quy Nhon in Champong, and a few days later arrived at Yazhou, that is, Hainan Island, and then arrived at the port of Dongguan through Yazhou, Yi Shijia was suddenly told by the Dongguan magistrate that the Ming Dynasty had recovered Nanjing, and the Manchu Dynasty had now moved there with the Tianjia family. In fact, Yi Shijia's home is not far from Nanjing. In order to return to the emperor for an errand, Yi Shijia's fleet had to continue north, and it took twenty days to reach Nanjing. Standing at the bow of the ship, Yi Shijia really sighed, there have been too many stories in his ocean-going fleet in the past year, too many stories have happened in Daming, the world is changing, and Daming is getting stronger and stronger. This made him sigh and prepare to write a poem, but just as he wanted to sing in a low voice, a big wave slapped in front of him, and Yi Shijia sat on the deck with an ass, which made Yi Shijia, who was like a chicken in the soup, no longer want to worry about Fu Xinziqiang.

When they set off from Dongguan, there were 2,000 soldiers, 3,000 people, seven warships and thirteen merchant ships, and now this returning fleet is waiting in Longwan, and the fleet will not be able to enter the city of Nanjing, but they still have to wait here, waiting for the call of heaven. Those who came to the outer Jinchuan Gate to greet him were the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and Mr. Gu Tinglin, who was the director of the Taimiao Temple. It is also common for the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for welcoming this fleet, but Mr. Tinglin's arrival is different, because he also has another identity - Wuyingdian University Shijia Prince Young Master, who is greeted by the second assistant of the cabinet plus the emperor of the three orphan levels, and Mr. Tinglin is now also the spiritual leader of the scholars. The arrival of such a character can be regarded as giving Yi Shijia enough face. And when Yi Shijia realized the current official position of the person he didn't know in front of him, the calmness just now was gone, and in place of this calmness was incomparably respectful. Gu Tinglin came with Gu Tinglin, and the official position is still far away in the southwest of Guangxi, why did he join in this fun, Zhu Si did not say that the expeditionary force of the Nanyang Propaganda Envoy was still under the jurisdiction of him, the CEO of the Ming Imperial West India Company. Because he always thought that Yi Shijia had helped him a lot, it was because of Yi Shijia's replacement that he didn't have to leave his wives in the family to go to the sea to dry himself into dried fish, or go to the natives of Nanyang to rob him, he couldn't understand what his imperial brother thought, what could the natives of Nanyang have?

"The elder of the pavilion can deign to come, the lower official is honored, the lower official has a few southern pearls here, which the lower official exchanged for an inkstone in his luggage in Zhancheng, this is considered the private property of the lower official, and I hope that the elder of the pavilion will accept it with a smile." The eyes of the patients on the side are straight, he has seen a lot of Nanzhu, but how has he seen Nanzhu as big as an egg? "This, is there any share of me in such a big Nanzhu? This is a chance to make a fortune without money, but someone will give it to you. "Presumptuous!" The unwaiting bribe was rejected by Yi Shijia, and Mr. Tinglin next to him had already refused to agree. "If you are ashamed of yourself, if you are not ashamed first, you are a person who has no roots, and General Hou should be self-respecting. Yi Daren's Nanzhu is good, but it is more appropriate for Yi Daren to take it home to honor his parents, today's dynasty is different from the past, even if there is a gift of a thousand gold, may not be able to buy an official, if there is a heart for the country, both ability and political integrity, even if it has lived in a remote and humble room for a long time, it can eventually sit on the temple. Courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are the four dimensions, if you are not honest, you will take everything, and if you are not ashamed, you will do everything, I hope that the general and Lord Yi will remember. "This moneyless official is a rare species in the Ming Dynasty, even more rare than the rhinoceros on the ship, because the Qing officials are killed and ostracized on the land of China just like the rhinoceros. So it's possible that it will eventually become extinct like the rhinoceros. With that, the three of them saw two rhinos being driven down from the boat. "Wow, this beast is still wearing armor, if this is sent to the battlefield, it won't lift the Tartar cavalry into the sky?" Hou Xing unconsciously covered his mouth and admired the mighty appearance of the two rhinoceroses in front of him. Yi Shijia explained: "Hou Zongbing is rare and strange, this thing is difficult to tame, the two you see are just a pair of cubs that Weichen found in Fanbang, just brought back to Botianjia with a smile, the space on the ship is limited, and the things to be carried are quite abundant, so I can't take more such beasts back to Beijing by boat." ”

Next, more than 100 boats of Zhancheng rice began to be put into storage, which made Tang Shaoyao, the left attendant of the household department, unable to sit on the stool anymore, and rushed from the yamen to personally weigh the scales. Later, dozens of boats of ebony and Qi Nan were carried off the boat, and Yan Qiheng, the head of the household department, also came from afar with sweat on his head. Mr. Tinglin also wanted to see the excitement, and Hou Xing naturally saw that his eyes fell off when he saw these dozens of boats of valuables. Yan Qiheng, the head of the household, came to Mr. Tinglin and Yi Shijia, he did not run directly to the hundred and ten boats of rice as soon as he came here, like Tang Shaoyao, a wealth fan, and from then on he got into it and became a hamster.

"I've seen Elder Ge, Yi Yushi has worked this trip, Yan is very curious about how to get the ebony and chess Nan Yi Yushi of these many ships?" Speaking of this, the dignified Hubu Shangshu, and the voice of Lord Yan Qihengyan, who is in charge of the world's money and grain taxes, have begun to tremble. "Returning to Lord Shangshu, these ebony and chess nan of the lower officials were exchanged for the remaining soybeans on the ship." "Nonsense! I know very well about this soybean, Long Live Lord only filled your boat with soybeans at the beginning, and didn't give anything else, just so that you could send some bean sprouts to eat so as not to give birth to any ......" "It's sepsis. Yi Shijia reminded. Yes, it's sepsis, but what is the value of the bean sprouts, can they be exchanged for so many ebony and chess? Besides, even if you exchange soybeans, at least the same amount must be the same, right? When you set off, you only counted twenty ships together, how can you exchange these fifty ships of ebony and chess? Could it be that one pound of soybeans can be exchanged for three pounds of ebony and chess? "That's a lot of money, the value of nearly two hundred cargo ships hit Hou Xing's head, and he began to regret why he couldn't give up his wife in the family, even if he slept all the beauties in Jiangnan with this money, it was probably enough. This endless wealth made him a little crazy, and he was already speechless and hysterical.
