The name Wanli has a completely different meaning for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the island of Ireland welcomes a new guest, a rickety and dilapidated fortune ship docked at the mouth of the Lagan River east of Tyrone, and countless people with Ming faces lined up to disembark on the crowded deck to land on a land that was almost completely alien to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This ship used to belong to Li Yuxi, and the current bow is named Zhang Si, and it has only been two years since it traveled from Nanyang to Dadongyang.

Zhang Sisheng in Xinghua Mansion's Xianyou.

Most of the great traitors and evildoers are people with extraordinary courage, Zhang Si doesn't have that guts, but he is not willing to be born in this world and listen to the legends of others getting rich overnight all year round.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhang Si felt that he should have been a good person before.

Kind, hardworking, and useless good guys.

When the Japanese were rampant and his fellow villagers plunged into the Nanyang, where the imperial court forbade the passage of ships, he nested outside the city to farm, and lived a life of peace and self-preservation with the balance of four or five taels of silver all year round.

The Japanese were driven to Xianyou by the Qi army, his land was burned, the government did not compensate him, and he did not follow his fellow villagers to the county government to petition, he was busy recruiting and listening to the call, and transported grain and grass to the Qi family army to pacify the Japanese invaders, opened roads and bridges, and made great efforts.

Later, when he had no livelihood, he went to help the inspection department run errands and work as a servant for the county government, although life was difficult, he never complained about anything.

Just in time for Long Qingye to open the sea, merchants, people, officials and soldiers poured into Yuegang...... The bold tried every means to get the ship to guide him, and he also followed him to the Moon Harbor, because the wages paid for moving goods at the Moon Port Wharf were one cent higher than that of the helpers in other places.

Later, as time went on, he had the heart to go to sea with him, but he couldn't do business.

The big men who have the capital to go to sea and travel several boats at every turn, hundreds of clan brothers and nephews, and hundreds of thousands of catties of goods are sold overseas, which is a sure profit without loss; The small people of Qianshou who have no capital, as few as five or six people, and as many as a dozen people, each carrying a package and carrying what they can buy, rent a boat to go to sea together, and sleep with people and goods on the road.

Because they knew little information, the big merchants sold porcelain, silk, cotton, and ironware to the sea.

Zhang Si also carried a large package, and he was cautious on the road, even if his peers asked, he only smiled and did not answer, what was in his package?

Sixty-six pairs of straw sandals!

Before going to sea, Zhang Si was familiar with this thing, and he could wear out a pair of straw sandals of the best quality in five or six days, and a pair would cost three cents of silver.

The savings of four taels of silver were exchanged for sixty-six pairs of straw sandals.

He wondered where this thing was, who didn't need shoes? Others say that a piece of cotton cloth can earn three times, he is too honest to believe it.

But he thinks that the quality of these straw sandals is so reliable, how many pairs can be sold for four cents of silver, right? Then he can earn more than a tael on this trip, and when the time comes, he can buy some spices in Luzon casually, and he will always make money when he comes back.

No matter how bad it is, as long as there is food and clothing, we, the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, know how not to be more than Yi people?

As a result, when I got to Manila, the people there really didn't wear shoes.

The soles of the feet of ordinary people have a thick layer of calluses, which are much more wear-resistant than the soles of straw shoes.

Later, his experience can be imagined, in Manila, where he was unaccompanied, he could be described as a displacement.

He has repaired people's beards in a barber shop owned by Teochew people, and he has also picked up sledgehammers in mines, and of course, the most proficient is to work in the port of Macheng, moving goods for people.

The other way out was that he didn't have much chance to perform.

Zhang Si really has no ability, if he is capable, he has no connections, and all he has is the identity of the Ming people.

The problem is that there are too many people in the Ming Dynasty, so many that there is no shortage of Ming Dynasty people in Nanyang.

He even walked through the farmland on the outskirts of Manila, and when he met the Luzon tenant farmer, he asked: "Fellow, do you know how to farm, I am from Daming, I know all about this farm tool, ploughing land, and fertilizing, let me meet your master."

As a result, he was a Quanzhou man, who had just come out of the countryside and got rich overnight, riding a high-headed horse when he went out, and he was dressed in silk and splendor, and he had to wear a jewel ring from the lion country on his hand that belonged to the calluses of farmers, and told others with a smile that his family had long been hired by the landlord to guide production, and you should find another place.

Zhang Si experienced the same situation no less than four times, and each time it was like this, which hit his self-confidence hard...... After co-authoring the sea, it was his mother's Ming Dynasty who competed with him.

The real life of wanting to be dissatisfied is incompatible with the words of the Nanyang Military Government that advocate the conquest of the sea by the people of the Heavenly Empire, especially in the era when Gao Gong was in charge of the Nanyang Military Government, it seems that the whole world will compare the series of major events of the Ming Dynasty, the opening of the sea, and the Nanyang Military Government to the poor to think about change, change to pass, to reach through, and to reach to help the world.

But isn't he Zhang Si a person from the world?

Why does he think about change when he is poor, block when he changes, block him even poorer, and think about change when he is poor?

He's not a bad person, and when he's most destitute, he didn't think about stealing and robbing people, and he didn't change it, and he didn't see anyone to help him.

Could it be that in these days, if a Ming citizen wants to get ahead overseas, he must be accompanied by knives and guns? Indeed, it is said in the book, those generals all grew up from a small soldier, but he Zhang Si couldn't join the army.

After years of hard work, his back hurts at every turn, and the axle he pushed for the Qi family's army to transport grain and grass in the early years was broken and injured his foot bones, and now he is a little lame when he walks, so that he can fight with others and share life and death, isn't this fatal?

Later, he heard that the Dongyang military government and the Xiyi saw the war, set up Changsheng County, these years the Great Dongyang to the imperial court to send gold, silver, wood and the legend that the country spread the gold city everywhere, gold can be scooped out of the river, attracting many bold people to abandon their families and businesses to sit on the boat to Changsheng.

Maybe Zhang Si didn't feel it himself, life didn't give him much kindness, but the training of poverty gave him more desire and courage than others, and his courage did get bigger and bigger.

Not mixing up his personal appearance made him not want to go home, and the second time he changed to Chang Sheng, the garrison of the Oriental Military Government, and this time he tasted the sweetness.

Although he had been able to find a single piece of gold in the wilderness of Jincheng all the winter of the previous year, he had 500 acres of land leased to the fleeing people of New Spain in Changsheng.

This time, Zhang Si was both.

Experience allowed Zhang Si to learn to sum up experience, and there was only one experience that really changed his fate: go to the newly opened land of the Ming Dynasty, and the fewer people of the Ming Dynasty who are with him, the more opportunities he has!

So, he bought a Daifuku ship from Li Yuxi's company, which was about to fall apart, and the ship was full of losers in the port of Onishi who had the same idea as him.

Drifting around, follow in the footsteps of the vanguard of the Oriental Military Government to the island of Ireland - to devote themselves to the vigorous cause of building the Kingdom of Alan.
