PS: The number of subscriptions is a bit miserable, everyone do me a favor!

The three children had no such idea, and under the escort of more than 20 male and female soldiers, they flew out of the house like a flock of happy birds. In the square at the door, there were people waiting there with carriages and horses.

"Look, on a horse or in a car?"

Xiao Huamei asked Fumatsumaru and Shilang a little provocatively.

Shi Lang always had a smile on his face, when he went out, his father Shi Daxuan explained to him, this time he went out purely to accompany the prince to study, he must not be in the limelight, he must have a good relationship with Zheng Sen, and he must also have a good relationship with the people of the Li family.

He looked at the more than 30 war horses with shiny fur and long legs, and couldn't help but move his index finger, although he was begging for a living at sea, but he also liked war horses, but unfortunately he had never seen a real horse. It can only be said that he has barely mastered the art of riding.

And Fumatsu Maru's face was a little pale, he was not afraid of taking a boat, but this horse riding was ......

"Eldest son, why don't we take the car? You have been bumpy at sea for days and are not physically fit to ride a horse. Zheng Sen's personal soldiers were very appropriate to find an excuse for him.

"No!" Zheng Sen saw that Li Huamei on the side had turned over a peach blossom horse under the waiting of two female soldiers, and the snow-white horse was full of red hair, as gorgeous as a blooming peach blossom. Hua Mei, who was riding on the horse, looked around, quite a bit of anticipation.

"I am the eldest son of the Zheng family, I can't lose to the daughter of the Li family! Pull Malay! ”

The two pro-soldiers trembled and carefully selected a horse that looked quite docile among the horses, and helped Fumatsu Maru to get on the horse. Over there, Shi Lang also chose a horse with the help of his two personal soldiers and turned over on the horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, Shi Lang had the urge to purse his lips and roar, and the prancing horse whipped and galloped.

"Let's talk about it first! Don't panic, Daddy has already had a military order, in addition to transmitting emergency military information and disasters in the city, no rushes are allowed, violators are punished with canes, strict zhòng people are flailed to show the public, and especially bad ones are beheaded. So. Let's take our time to get to the dock by horse! ”

Li Huamei only said this at this moment. The corners of her eyebrows and eyes couldn't help showing a smug look, in this game, she took the lead and won!

The pro-soldiers cautiously pulled the horses. The group headed for the dock outside the city. Shi Lang is the older of the three. With different eyes and angles from the two second generations, Huamei and Fushomaru, he looked at and observed the city in front of him.

It's not far from the house. It is to enter the inner city of the past, and the residential and commercial areas of today. The shops are lined with commercial prosperity and are naturally not a problem, but. In Shi Lang's eyes, what made him feel a little fresh was the scenery and people on the street.

At the entrance of each shop and next to the stall, there is a huge wooden barrel, which from the horse is full of garbage, dust, and food scraps. From time to time, the guys at the door of the shop greet customers, pick up brooms and prepare the dust in front of their doors, and use dustpans to dump the garbage into wooden barrels. From time to time there were cars and horses rolling through the streets, and behind the horses pulling the carts was a huge sack of burlap, from which came a burst of fishy dung, which was thought to be horse dung.

From time to time, people dressed in black with black tops and red bottoms carrying short black and red sticks, with several people in the same attire carrying spears and short knives in their hands, and ropes hanging from their waists, walked through the streets. When he saw this team coming, he consciously flashed to the side and shouted at the pedestrians, carriages and horses stalls to pay attention to safety and not to be hit by horses.

The crowd in the distance was like a pebble thrown into the water, splashing in circles and rippling, gathering a small crowd, and the group immediately ran over like sharks smelling blood.

"What's going on?!"

The leader of the team unceremoniously used the black and red short stick in his hand to push through the crowd and squeeze in.

"Lord Inspector, these guys are spitting, this old man stopped them, but not only did they not listen to persuasion, but they also opened their mouths to curse people, planning to beat people!" Someone in the crowd replied indignantly.

The inspector looked at the few men in front of him who were surrounded by everyone, there were Japanese people wearing clogs on their feet, people with Fujian accents, and two people who were actually blonde and blue-eyed Francophiles, what kind of combination is this?!

Whatever! Lao Tzu is here to enforce the law on behalf of the General's Mansion!

"According to the health management regulations of the General's Palace, if you spit and insult others in public places, you should be punished with eight sticks or eight lashes! Say, choose for yourself, are you going to be beaten with a stick or a whip?! ”

Those people Shi Lang looked a little familiar, they should be people from the Zheng family's fleet.

Like the Nanzhong Army, the Zheng Family Army is also a mixed ethnic group, if it weren't for the reason of the Han crossing, Zheng Zhilong's army even has Austronesian language groups.

Those guys didn't have time to resist, so they were skillfully pressed to the ground like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, stripped off their middle clothes and prepared for execution.

"His Highness Fukumatsumaru! His Highness Fukumatsu Maru! ”

A few widows who were at a loss on the side suddenly saw Zheng Sen and his party, and immediately saw a floating log like a drowning person, "Please be gracious, Your Highness!" Excuse yourself from such humiliation! ”

"The general said it! There are hundreds of millions of lives in your mouthful of phlegm that can cause disease and death, so anyone who spits in a public place will be punished with whipping or a military stick! This point, even the great monks in the temple agreed. It's useless for anyone to intercede! The inspector pointed his short stick at the noses of the widows and reprimanded them.

"Execution!"

As the words fell, a thick and long leather whip woven from raw cowhide swung in the wind, blooming blood flowers on several bodies. A scream of ghosts crying wolves resounded over the streets, and with the muffled sound of the leather whip falling on the muscles, His Highness Fumatsumimaru's face couldn't help but turn red and white.

The things that his subordinates did were indeed a little unspeakable, and Zheng Sen didn't bother to intercede for them. Seeing that they were beaten, Zheng Sen snorted from his nose, "Shameful thing!" It's not good to stay on the boat. What are you doing here?! ”

"Your Highness, that's it!" The Japanese people led by him wept and reported to Zheng Sen, the young master.

"Just now, General Li here sent people to the docks, and gave a reward according to the head and rank of the brothers, and the brothers got twenty silver dollars for many and eight yuan for the less.

"Get out of here!" Zheng Sen waved his whip. Then you have to beat it. was pulled by Shi Lang on the side, his sleeve.

"Young Marshal, this is a good thing!" Shi Lang reminded him in a low voice in Zheng Sen's ear.

"Nani?!" Zheng Sen was in a hurry, and he actually spoke his mother tongue, the language of the real mother.

"If they don't care about our people. Let them run wild in the market. It shows that General Li is still wary of us. And now. The people at the bottom can do this to those of us who break the rules, which proves that the South Central Army is up and down. I didn't regard my Zheng Jiajun as an outsider. Since he is not an outsider, he will not be an enemy. Isn't this a happy event?! ”

Shi Lang was born in a poor family in the end, and his understanding of people's hearts is far stronger than that of Fusong Pill, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. His explanation was unbelievable to Fumatsu Maru, but he felt that it was very reasonable, so he had to drop the horsewhip and continue to move forward with Li Huamei, who was watching the excitement from the side.

"Miss, that group of patrol people just now, but the officials of Hue Mansion?"

Shi Lang urged the horse forward, slightly behind Zheng Sen and Li Huamei.

"It's not a servant, they used to be called patrols, but then Daddy sent them some new jobs and changed their names to patrol officers!"

The duties of the patrol police are very messy, from public security to traffic, from urban cleanliness and sanitation to the hanging of signboards in stores, almost every corner of urban management is involved. (Huh?) Chengguan? ）

I see! Shi Lang and Zheng Sen suddenly realized, no wonder this Hue is so clean and orderly, it turns out that there is this group of people managing and maintaining!

(China's modern sense of urban management and municipal construction, historiography generally recognizes, began with the establishment of a concession in Shanghai after the Opium War, and it can be said that there was no such concept at all.) However, Europe in this era did not have this concept. The streets of Paris are full of yellow and white things. ）

In front of the shops on both sides of the street, there are signs and banners such as preferential promotions, concessions and price reductions, and those farmers who have just sold their autumn grain, with silver dollars and tongbao in their pockets, holding grain vouchers and industrial vouchers in their hands, generously add all kinds of items for their families under the diligent explanation of the shopkeepers.

"Newly carved prints, fresh floral cloth! Fifteen wen per zhang! ”

"Newly baked meat porcelain jars and canned fish! One hundred and fifty wen each! Buy one and get a porcelain jar back! ”

"Hey! Freshly made pure steel hoe! No matter what kind of famine, it is guaranteed to be cooked in a month. ”

Zheng Sen and Shi Lang found that among the people who came and went in and out of the various stores, their own people were extremely eye-catching inside, and the reason for the eye-catching was that when they saw the dazzling goods, their first reaction was to take out the reward money that had not yet been covered on their bodies, and frantically began to buy those goods that were cheap at home.

Those who like to eat dropped a silver dollar and carried a box of meat porcelain jars, thinking that they don't have to eat those fish and shrimp and other things at sea, and those who have some fields at home are discussing with their friends how to separate the hoe from the wooden handle under the narrow space of the cabin, as long as the hoe made of wrought iron or nine-turn steel does not have a wooden hoe pole. Those who like weapons and swords are bargaining with the boss over the sword and sword of the iron and steel, "If the two of you can accept this price, then the trumpet can give the two of you an eight-petal hat helmet made of nine-turn steel!" Ensure that the knife can't cut through, and the gun can't penetrate! ”

And on the shoulders of almost all of them, they carry another commodity.

Refined fine cloth produced in Nanchu. Different colors and flower colors are like colorful flowers blooming on the shoulders of everyone.

Shi Lang saw that there was uncertainty between Zheng Sen's eyebrows, so he motioned to a personal soldier who was walking on the street to come forward and ask those soldiers and sailors of the Zheng family. Why buy so much cloth?

"Cheap!"

The soldiers and sailors who were questioned, whether they were Japanese people, Buddha machine people, or fellow Fujian villagers of the Zheng family, all replied in unison,

"A piece of dyed cloth sells for one silver dollar, and a piece of flower cloth in different colors is only two silver dollars, and even our own family members don't need to buy clothes and bedding. If you turn around and sell it in South Australia and Xiamen in Kinmen, you can at least double the profit! ”

Seeing his subordinates so frantically buying all kinds of goods from the Nanzhong Army, Zheng Sen didn't know what it was like in his heart, "Fortunately, they and my family are now allies!" ”

Shi Lang didn't think about it so much, he reached out and took off the money bag hanging from his waist, handed it to one of his own soldiers, and signaled to the sword shop not far away with his chin, and the soldier understood and went with the money bag.

It was close to noon, and students in several nearby schools were dismissed. Skin tones vary in shades. Students with different faces lined up in groups with school bags on their backs to receive their lunches at various food stalls on the street. Among these people, there are Japanese people and Annam natives as far as the eye can see. There are Miao people. There are Han Chinese. There are Dai family members, and there are some young children of the Buddha Machine.

"Some of these people are still my younger brothers and sisters." Li Huamei proudly greeted the people who were familiar with the students and greeted them.

"But. If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! Zheng Sen was a little worried that these children of different races would steal the essence of my Chinese culture.

"Huh! Daddy said that Sage Confucius also said that there is no class in teaching. Moreover, these people grow on the land of our Nanzhong Army, and they are watered by the water of our Chinese civilization, and they are bound to bloom as the flowers of Chinese civilization! Hua Mei doesn't know much about civilization, flowers and the like, she only knows that these younger brothers and sisters, in the school to read and write, master calculations, a little older to learn a craft, or go to various schools for further study, within a few years, are the same as the Han people, just like those soldiers in the Phoenix Camp who were born aborigines, after a few years of soldiering, they can write letters home.

"Miss, we are all begging for a living on the ocean, why don't we go to the seaside dock and have a look?"

Shi Lang saw that Zheng Sen's expression was getting more and more ugly, and tried to change the topic, not to let the Nanzhong Army show off their wealth here. Go to the dock and look at my Zheng family's fleet!

"It's good! Let's go to the docks and see the big ships! Hua Mei was also a little tired of greeting everyone, seeing that the team was about to leave the city, she could ride a horse and gallop.

I don't want to, the left side of the pier is more crowded.

Countless vehicles and people will be blocked here, can only be in order, riding horses galloping? Don't even think about it!

"What the hell! When we went to meet the general, it was still very open, why did it become so crowded in the blink of an eye? It's the whole porter of Hue who has arrived on the dock, but that's it?! ”

After listening to Zheng Sen's complaints, Hua Mei didn't bother to explain, and turned around to call one of her own female soldiers, "Aji! You take someone to see, what's going on?! ”

Zheng Sen's several Japanese warriors and soldiers, their eyes were full of envy and obscenity, and they looked at the Tianzhu girl with a thin waist and long legs, and rode away with a few Miao family and Han girls. His gaze froze on the backs of those who were dressed in well-fitting armor, wearing long knives at their waists, and carrying firearms on their backs, and refused to take them back for a long time. (Actually, I can't pull it out when I see it!) ）

"Even if it was the Tachibana early hit girl under the command of Lord Chikuzen Baimei Ruiyuyuan back then, there may not be this group of elite women of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!" A Japanese samurai compared the female husband of the western country back then, and sighed in his heart.

The closer you get to the dock, the more cars there are, and a large number of carts loaded with sturdy and huge packages that are bundled up, rushing quickly to the slogans and songs of the porters.

Behind the cart, the Tianzhu girl Aji, her face was flushed with excitement, "Miss! Miss! It's a cargo ship back from Telugu! There were four boats, countless cottons, and more than 20 horses! It's all a big eater of the same color! ”

On the wharf, four huge cargo ships like hills, the porters entered the cargo ship in an orderly manner along the gangplank like a swarm of worker ants, carried huge cotton bales out of the cabin, placed them on the board carts of their peers, and pinned a bamboo skewer to the baotou cloth above their heads.

Nearly 100 pallet trucks lined up on the dock to load goods, and the originally wide dock was suddenly filled with several times the flow of people and vehicles.

"This ship, how much cargo can this ship carry at one time?!"

There were horsemen on the dock leading those horses to walk the horses, so that these elves who had become a little mentally relieved after long-distance transportation could be restored, but Zheng Sen and Shi Lang didn't care to look at these, their eyes were tightly attracted by these four big boats!

"How many goods can be shipped this time!" Although Zheng Sen belongs to the status of the second generation of rich officials, after all, he is the son of a maritime merchant, and he is a very outstanding one, and he still knows the economic significance of such a huge cargo ship at a glance.

"This ship was specially built to run the ocean, to Liudu in the north, to Peking, and to Manchuria, to Telugu, and to Goa, and the horses under your crotch were bred and bred by the horses they brought from Goa." A deacon from the General's Mansion on the side was very proud to show off his achievements.

But with such a large ship, I am afraid that there are not one or two dozen guns on board, so as to transport some cotton and horses? This is inevitably a bit of a pearl!

"Four ships have made one trip and brought back nearly 3,000 tons of cotton, which is estimated to ensure the consumption of each weaving mill for a quarter, and in these three months, we can make another one or two trips to bring back all the output of Telugu this year."

Xie Miao, the captain of the Guangzhou class, saw that the general's eldest lady was here, how could he give up this opportunity? Immediately come up to explain the variety and significance of the goods to the eldest lady.

Of course, seeing that there were living people here, he ignored the value of the precious stones and other things on the ship. (To be continued......)
