On the battleship "Chengdu", Li Zicheng basically planned all the things of Haojing, and then, accompanied by Schrobao, inspected the entire island, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what the Portuguese had managed Haojing over the years.

Haojing is an island, the area is not large, in the waters of China, there are countless such islands, most of them are not developed, except for weeds and thorns, the island is a small piece of land occupied by fishermen and pirates.

Because of the Portuguese trade, Ho Mirror is different from those small islands.

Haojing takes the "Big Fortress" as the geographical center, the whole island is almost developed, there is very little wasteland, there is Qin Mountain in the east, Guia Mountain in the southwest, A-Ma Mountain in the south, Lotus Mountain in the north, and Qingzhou Mountain in the northwest.

But these peaks are not high, they can only be regarded as small hills, and the highest Guia Mountain, the height of the surface is only fifteen zhang.

The "Fortress" is not only the location of the Fortress, but also a small castle, the military, administrative and trade center of Ho Kyo, because it is located halfway up the Fortress Hill, the terrain is much higher than the surrounding area.

Fortress Hill was originally known as Persimmon Mountain, because there are many persimmon trees on the mountain, and after the Portuguese came to Haojing, they built a fort on the mountain, so it was changed to Fortress Hill, and the use of the fort was convenient to control the entire island.

Li Zicheng carefully observed that there are four Catholic churches in the whole Haojing, all the Portuguese people believe in God, and on the eastern slope of the Fortress is the most prestigious St. Paul's Church.

There are obviously more Han Chinese on the island than the Portuguese, but in addition to arriving the land, they mainly work as laborers for the Portuguese, and many of them have joined the Catholic Church under the influence of the Portuguese.

To Li Zicheng's surprise, at the foot of the hill, just a stone's throw from St. Paul's Church, there is a higher school called "St. Paul's College".

Is this the earliest Western-style university in China?

Li Zicheng made a field trip and found that the predecessor of St. Paul's College was St. Paul's College, which was founded in the 44th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1565 AD), which was a primary school at that time, and later upgraded to St. Paul's College in the 22nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1594 AD) and became a high school.

In terms of time, it is much earlier than Xining High School, and it should be the first Western-style high school in China.

Li Zicheng was interested in the academy for a while, and found that although the scale of St. Paul's College is not large, the courses taught are very complete, including theology, Latin, philosophy, literature, history, geography, law, art, music, humanities, linguistics, logic, and other humanities and social sciences, as well as mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, medicine and other natural sciences.

The college also has a library with thousands of books, as well as printing houses, clinics, pharmacies, astronomical observatory and other school-running facilities.

I knew that Haojing had ready-made high school textbooks, so there was no need to work hard to compile simple high school textbooks at that time......

Grape people come to Haojing, this may be the greatest contribution to China, right?

Li Zicheng immediately made a decision, allocated money, printed all the textbooks and books in St. Paul's College, and then brought them back to Beijing for screening, in addition to improving the teaching materials of schools at all levels in China, but also providing new reading materials for talents in China.

To the south of the Fortress, separated by two streets, there is a "Hospital Street", and there is a hospital in the eastern section of the street, called "St. Rafaye Hospital", and the local Han people call it "Doctor Temple".

Let Lee be self-conscious

What is surprising is not that St. Rafaye's Hospital has the nature of a welfare home, which houses Western "widows and widows", but the nature of this hospital.

After a field trip, Li Zicheng found that this is a Western-style hospital, perhaps the first Western-style hospital in China!

Li Zicheng has always admired science, and when he encountered such a Western-style hospital, he naturally refused to let it go, and he deeply imprinted the name of this hospital in his mind.

After inspecting the entire island, it was already evening, and Li Zicheng did not return to the "Chengdu" battleship, but stood on the northwest coast of the island, silently watching the sunset in the sea.

There are two excellent wharves in Haojing, the east is called the outer port, the west is called the inner port, and the north is separated by a strait and Xiangshan County, this strait has no official name, and the local people call it "West Port".

Obviously it is on the north side of the mirror, why is it called Westport?

Shi Luobao stood behind Li Zicheng respectfully, and from the moment he accompanied Li Zicheng to inspect the whole island, he made up his mind: follow Huaxia!

"Lord Soldier, have you thought about it?" Li Zicheng didn't look back, his eyes were still staring at the sea in the north.

"The villain has figured it out!"

"Which one?"

"Trading company!" Shi Luobao said: "The name villain has been thought of, it is called Hualu Trading Company!"

"Vulgar!" Li Zicheng smiled faintly: "However, you don't forget Portugal, and you are grateful to Huaxia, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, I like it!"

Schrobao understands that trade with the East is absolutely inseparable from China, and without the support of the South China Sea Fleet, trade will definitely not last! He didn't reply, just smiled stupidly.

"I will ask Huaxia's Jinkai Company to contact you as soon as possible, and Jinkai Company will supply as many goods as you need, as long as the price is fair."

"Thank you, Deputy Commander!"

"The profits of Haimao are huge, but the cost is not too low," Li Zicheng said: "Do you have enough silver?" ”

"No," Shi Luobao was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to hide Li Zicheng, so he said: "However, the villain will organize the original trade personnel, and the villain will be responsible for contacting the source of goods...... If Huaxia only recognizes villains, villains don't need principal. ”

It turned out to be a dry stock?

Li Zicheng smiled secretly, this is better, if Shi Luobao is disobedient, as long as the supply of goods is cut off, Shi Luobao will be worthless, he said indifferently: "The place of the transaction, it is in Haojing, I will leave you a large warehouse, in addition, I will only confiscate two large warships, and the rest of the merchant ships, transport ships, and all the soldiers will be returned to your Sino-Portuguese trading company." ”

"Thank you, thank you Deputy Commander," Shi Luobao can't wait to kowtow to his father, the personnel and property are his face to come back, with this relationship, he can not only control the Hualu Trading Company, but there is no money, and others dare not gossip, "Deputy Commander, rest assured, if the villain makes money, he will definitely not forget the benefits of the Deputy Commander!"

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "It's just ......."

Schrobao's heart moved, "......"

"Huaxia treats you well, at least when you return to Portugal, compared with the 'council', you won't be too difficult to behave," Li Zicheng said: "You also have to make some contributions to Huaxia!"

"Please make it clear to the deputy commander, as long as the villain can do it, he will definitely die!"

"The churches, hospitals, and colleges in Haojing will all maintain the status quo, Huaxia will not take over, and the remuneration of personnel will not change

I'll leave these tasks to you, and if you have any problems, just come to me. ”

"This is natural," Shi Luobao bowed and said, "Deputy Commander, rest assured, this little thing will not go wrong!"

"Also," Li Zicheng decided to leave his tail, "Huaxia lacks friends like Lord Bingtou, and even more so missionaries from churches, teachers from schools, and doctors from hospitals. ”

"The villain will remember the words of the deputy commander!"

Li Zicheng added: "Regardless of the Portuguese, but also the Britons and the French, as long as they are talents, I will not only thank the soldiers, but also pay the soldiers according to the amount of silver, or goods of the same value." ”

"Thank you, Deputy Commander!" Schrobao's waist bent lower, like a shrimp in Jiwei, he really didn't expect that such a figure could still be sold for money, there are many such people in Europe, waiting in line to come to the East to preach, if they take his downwind boat, they will be grateful......

Li Zicheng only waited for half a day in Haojing, and Xiangshan County in the north sent four officials, Li Zicheng personally summoned him, appointed Peng Lianzhi as the magistrate of Haojing, and Xu Lai as the director of customs, and then talked with the two for most of the afternoon before letting them go to take up their posts.

The official residence of the Fortress is the county government of Haojing.

Although the Portuguese were angry, the general trend of Huaxia taking back the mirror was irreversible, and with Schrobao making peace, the anger gradually subsided.

Fortunately, there is Hualu Trading Company!

There is also a trade transit point in Ho Mirror!

The economic interests of the Portuguese people have not been harmed much, but have been guaranteed!

The former merchants, including the members of the council, fell to Schrobao's knees, hoping for a piece of the maritime trade.

Schrobo, now only Schrobo, can protect their interests!

Li Zicheng gave a house near the inner harbor to the west to Schrobao to use as a warehouse for the Sino-Portuguese Trading Company, and set aside a piece of land around it, but the Sino-Portuguese Trading Company had to pay rent or buy it directly as its headquarters.

For St. Paul's College and St. Rafaye's Hospital, Li Zicheng plans to send students who have graduated from high schools in Xining or Lanzhou to visit and study inside after returning to Beijing, but he does not interfere in daily activities.

In particular, St. Paul's College, which is a full-time school from primary school to high school, Li Zicheng, with the consent of the principal, will slightly expand the scale of teaching, and the primary school will open a "Chinese class", and the middle school and high school will also recruit some Chinese students.

In addition, St. Paul's College has a special language major, recruiting students from Hojing County and nearby Xiangshan Prefecture to learn the languages of Western countries.

All this was arranged, and Li Zicheng was still not at ease.

Haojing County is a special zone and belongs to Guangzhou Prefecture, but it is too far away from the capital city and it is really inconvenient to manage.

Based on the experience of later generations, he upgraded the four counties of Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde, and Xiangshan in the southwest of Guangzhou Prefecture and on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, and Xiangshan County, which is an independent prefecture, to Xiangshan Prefecture, with jurisdiction over four counties: Haojing, Xinning, Xinhui, and Shunde.

It is hoped that the concept of a special zone in Haojing County will affect Xiangshan Prefecture in the north as soon as possible, and St. Paul's College and St. Rafaye's Hospital will also set up branches in Xiangshan Prefecture in the future, or according to their respective models, develop new higher education and hospitals in Xiangshan Prefecture, and then let it develop further west to Guangzhou Prefecture......
