On this trip, just in case, Yang Youji also led the newly formed guard team to start the first escort mission after the establishment of the team.

There are similarities between the guard and the special combat team in the selection of personnel, both attach importance to the physical fitness of the individual, in addition to being proficient in the use of firearms, hand-to-hand or cold weapons combat also need two brushes. The difference is that Huang Mengjia's selection team members pay more attention to muscle strength and mental bravery, while Yang Youji pays more attention to physical flexibility and mental cleverness. But no matter what criteria they were based on, they had experienced several fierce battles, and they all had a few or more enemy lives on their hands, and they were real warriors.

Because the standards were set quite high, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, Yang Youji only recruited forty-five people for the time being. However, even if there are only these people, as long as they are not attacked by a large army, ordinary thieves can be easily dismissed.

Coming to Guangzhou again, the provincial capital has regained its former vigor, the sound of the flower boats and silk bamboos on the White Goose Pond continues, the merchants and people who come ashore from the White Goose Pond and enter the city are endless, and it is not at all clear that there has been a fierce battle here not long ago. Only the faintly visible potholes on the official road outside the city can find traces of the day's fighting—craters left by mountain artillery shells.

Because the relationship between Zhou Guoxin and the Qiongzhou camp should be kept secret from the outside world, Zhou Guoxin transferred to a local ship in Huangpu Port to enter the city first.

In Guangzhou, the original dealer Zhang Mingli has become a subordinate, so he naturally has to undertake the reception task. Liu Quan had already informed Zhang Mingli a day in advance, and Zhang Mingli waited with his entourage by the official road outside the city. Seeing Xia Nan, Zhang Mingli led people to greet him and salute, "Master has worked hard all the way." ”

The former partner has become a subordinate, Lin Weiye feels a little embarrassed, summer south is commonplace, in the old time and space shopping malls, this situation is also very common. He stretched out his hand and said, "You have a heart, go into the city and talk." ”

Zhang Mingli arranged for Xia Nan and his entourage to stay in his newly purchased house, which was originally prepared for himself, because the former governor of Liangguang, Wang Zunde, sealed the shop, and the relocation has been delayed until now, just saving the hands and feet of finding a suitable house. From the moment he knew that Xia Nan was coming to Guangzhou, Zhang Mingli ordered people to clean the house, added new furniture, and allocated capable maids and maids from his own home, and even housekeepers were arranged.

The housekeeper's name is Wang Qinian, who seems to be an honest man, and he has been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing everyone coming, he respectfully asked for peace one by one: "I've seen Master Xia, Master Lin, and Manager Liu." Every time he asked someone for peace, he looked at each other accurately, and he didn't mistake anyone.

Xia Nan's footsteps had already crossed the threshold, and when he heard the words, he retreated again, and asked suspiciously: "The first time we met, how could you match your name with me?" "It's not uncommon to know the name, Zhang Mingli must have told him in advance, the problem is that he doesn't know his own people, how can he match the name and the person.

Wang Qinian had a harmless expression on his face, and replied respectfully: "Back to the master, Master Zhang mentioned the appearance and characteristics of everyone, and the little one secretly wrote it down." In addition, you can also see the clue from the order in which you walk. ”

Xia Nan looked back, and inadvertently, everyone had already divided the dignity and inferiority in walking, and he was walking in the front, Lin Weiye was behind him, Liu Quan was one step behind, and Zhang Mingli was behind Liu Quan.

It's very simple to say, but it takes a caring person to judge at a glance, this housekeeper is a caring person, not only has a good memory, but also has a strong ability to observe words and feelings. Xia Nan smiled and said to Zhang Mingli: "The housekeeper you are looking for is good." ”

Zhang Mingli was praised, and he was also happy in his heart, and said busily: "It's good that the master is happy." "This housekeeper is a distant relative of the housekeeper in his house, and has been helping the housekeeper in his house, and this time to buy a new house, he needs a housekeeper, and seeing that he is diligent and reliable, he sent him over.

When passing by the door, Zhang Mingli patted Wang Qinian's shoulder and encouraged: "Good job!" ”

"It's all a small thing." Wang Qinian replied with low eyebrows.

In the summer, the south entered the house, all the way through the garden and the rockery, looking at the maids who stopped along the way to ask for peace, I couldn't help but sigh, the landlords of the feudal society lived a really moist life, their own south garden covers a wider area, and there are pavilions and water pavilions, but the maids are not half of the number, and the house is not as exquisite as here.

"Mingli, your gift is really generous, I just came to the provincial capital to do business, and it was too wasteful to make such a big house and a maid. When the business is done, you might as well move into the house by yourself. ”

Zhang Mingli shook his head again and again: "How can this be done." This house was originally prepared for me, but when I encountered Wang Zunde's closure of the store, it was delayed, and as soon as it was cleaned, I met the lord You want to come to Guangzhou. This is God's will, this house is destined to be yours of the master, anyway, the number of times the lord will come and go to Guangzhou in the future, there must be a place to stay. ”

Xia Nantui gave a few words, and accepted the house. He knew that the housing prices in the Ming Dynasty were not high, and with Zhang Mingli's income level, it was not difficult to rebuild a house, and he really needed a place to settle down when he traveled to Guangzhou in the future.

After everyone sat down in the front hall, Xia Nan said: "Mingli, this time I came to Guangzhou, there are a few things to do: one is to recruit blacksmiths and tailors, the more the better, the wages are preferential, and those who are willing to move their families to Lingao will be given a settlement fee; The second is to buy a lucky ship, at least more than 400 materials, to be brand new, if you can find a boatman willing to go to Lingao, it is better; The third is to help me introduce Governor Mu Tianyan. The first two things are mainly by Liu Quan, and you help to contact, and the third thing is that I will personally go out and you will match me. ”

Zhang Mingli replied respectfully: "The first two things are easy to do, as long as the silver is sufficient, the craftsman is easy to move, and the ship is easy to buy." There are not many other cities in Guangzhou, there are many blacksmiths, tailors are everywhere, not to mention ships, there are thousands of foreign merchants who go to sea in Guangzhou every year, but the shipwright has to inquire about the shipwright. In addition, there may not be many brand-new Fu ships, they are all built in Fujian, can the Guangzhou ships here? ”

Xia Nan pointed at Liu Quan: "Ask him about these details later, anyway, as long as he can go to Luzon or Japan." ”

Zhang Mingli knew that Liu Quan was the head of the newly established commercial bank, and he was his deputy, and he would be his immediate boss in the future, so he said respectfully: "In the future, I have to ask Manager Liu for more advice." ”

Liu Quan also said politely: "Don't dare to advise, you and I will work together to do things for the master, and discuss more things." ”
