The operation went smoothly from beginning to end, and Liu Yong was also in a good mood, he said with a smile: "Bring it over to meet him, let him rest assured." ”

People quickly brought over, for the sake of safety, the mouth was blocked, the upper body was tied very tightly, after being brought into the warehouse, the leaders who did not rush to the boat to arrest people were a little stunned, because this person was very strange, everyone deliberately looked at his face, it was indeed a high-nosed and deep-eyed fanren appearance, but in addition to this, the rest were dressed as scholars of the Ming Dynasty, wearing a Confucian robe and green shirt, and even the beard was the style of the Ming Dynasty, and his tall figure was ordinary.

In Liu Yong's feelings, this Tang Ruowang is very different from the people he saw in Xuzhou, not that he is dressed, but that he has this temperament, which makes people feel very quiet, and he does not have the fiery heart of Louis and his people for wealth and power, but Liu Yong didn't say much, just asked casually: "What's your name?" ”

"In the next Tang John, may I ask this" That Tang John made a salute, but he was just about to ask a question, Liu Yong made a gesture, and someone immediately blocked Tang Ruowang's mouth again.

"As long as you are obedient, you can save your lives." Liu Yong commanded, waved his hand and motioned to take the person away.

"Your Excellency the Dean,

I'm sorry that I have only now had the opportunity to send you a letter about the amazing experience I am currently experiencing. As I put pen to paper, I tried to suppress the excitement in my heart and try to recount my recent experience as calmly as possible, but I think that even if I recounted it evenly, I am afraid you will be dumbfounded by what we have experienced!

Although I had imagined that I would have to go through countless hardships before I went north from Macau, I really did not expect that I would be taken directly and forcibly taken away, and from the current point of view, there was no chance to enter the capital of the Ming Empire again.

Please don't worry about me, for I say so, but I'm not in danger of my life right now, and I'm actually in the hands of a polite man.

I'm afraid you're already confused by my narrative, aren't you? I try to explain my journey to you in detail.

On our long and magical journey, the most gratifying thing for us is that we have a very good guide. This guide was recommended to us by the Jesuits in Macau, and as they had expected, it was very satisfying to us, and it was thanks to his unsparing help that we were able to travel through this vast and magical country without fear of any misunderstanding from the official and local gentlemen.

His name is Liu Wei, he is a northerner of the Ming Empire, he was able to travel thousands of miles from his hometown in the north to Macao and convert to God, itself is a very legendary experience, after understanding his story, we may be able to have a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of this empire, when I first met him, I learned the northern official dialect of the Ming Empire with him almost every day - I forgot to explain to you that the official lingua franca of this empire is not the same as the language of the south, just as it is in Europe- and to listen to him with great interest about his own personal experiences, which he may have exaggerated in order to fascinate me even more, but even if only a small part of them are true, then the life of this venerable guide is as varied as mine. For the sake of the subject, I won't mention these stories here, and I'll tell you some stories if I have the chance.

To get back to the point, after having enough confidence in my language skills, I decided to set off on the great journey of my dreams, but we suffered the kind of accident that is still frightening in retrospect, and as a result, under the manipulation of fate, we did not go to the capital of the Ming Empire as expected, but ended up in the heart of this empire, if it was God's will, I can only say that his idea was too unpredictable to be completely unpredictable.

He also relied on our faithful guide, who tried to tell us about his past experiences in these places, about the customs and culture, and even recommended us the local food, so that we could still have money left over to enjoy the various flavors of food along the way, which also made the escort a lot more enjoyable.

What happened next was much more amazing than I expected.

Escorted by the patrol, we came to a city called Ching Jiang Pu, which our guide had mentioned to us many times when it was still in Macau, and that it was a city of immeasurable size, with wealth and prosperity that could hardly be matched in the world.

I thought he was exaggerating.

I had been to Guangzhou, and I thought it was already one of the most glorious cities in the country, and even if the capital of the Ming Empire was larger, other cities would not be more prosperous. However, when I saw the city, I realized how far my expectations had deviated from reality.

He was right, and even if he wasn't enough, we did come to one of the most prosperous and wealthy cities I have ever seen!

Located at the confluence of the Yellow River and canals, the city is one of the most important hubs of the country's north-south arteries. Every day, millions of bushels of grain and other goods are gathered from the countryside and towns of the empire, and they are continuously concentrated in the city, and then transported through this never-ending waterway to the northern parts of the empire, and finally to feed the brain of the country, the capital on the northern border.

When we arrived in the city, it was an afternoon. What a spectacular sight it is to see a wide canal, full of boats, slowly moving, and countless transport ships with hard sails flowing on the canal, dyed almost golden in the setting sun. According to the guide, because the farther north section of the river is frozen, there are a lot fewer boats at this time than in the peak season, and oh my God, it's hard to imagine the number during the peak season.

On both sides of this waterway, with its innumerable buildings and innumerable people, I must admit that it is the most prosperous and splendid city I have ever seen, and my guide was right.

You know, this empire has a canal system to be proud of, and it has been repaired and maintained over hundreds of years, even older than the Ming Empire. After immeasurable efforts, the ancestors dug thousands of miles of canals to connect the entire water system of the empire, several great rivers that flowed endlessly, almost every ,——one of which was longer than the Rhine River flowing through my hometown, and became the main transportation artery of the whole country.

What a venerable people it is that we Europeans are still struggling to survive in the ruins of Roman times, and that the people here have completed such a grand project and created an incomparably magnificent city! If they could become believers in the Lord, what kind of glory would it bring to God? I couldn't help but feel the sense of mission that made my heart boil again.

Please don't think I'm dizzy. In my hometown, on German soil, we have also built a number of canals that help us transport goods, and it is for this reason that we are better able to understand the effort required to build and maintain such a vast canal system.

I've been to Hamburg, it's a well-developed port city, with a thriving business and a huge population, but I have to admit that it pales in comparison to the city called Qingjiangpu, and I don't know how many generations it will take to be able to compete with such a city. Hopefully there will be such a day.

At the same time, I noticed that this city was different from the other cities I had seen in my Ming Empire - it had no walls, no formidable defenses, it was a city born entirely of commerce and transportation, and it also grew in the endless flow of goods, which was completely different from those that developed because of fortresses.

This city reminds me of our German Hamburg, which is also a thriving commercial city, where goods from all over the Baltic Sea are distributed and which brings immeasurable wealth, and I must admit that it is more prosperous than Hamburg.

The city had something in common with Hamburg, that is, they were not in the hands of the princes or feudal lords, but in the hands of merchants with huge pockets, which was especially strange in the Ming Empire, which had always despised commerce, and I suspect that it was probably due to the close relationship between these big merchants and the ruling families of the Ming Empire, which made it fall into a state of equilibrium, and could only be governed by the co-rule of the Guò merchants.

Great wealth will bring great power, and I have heard from the patrols escorting me that their master has a great share here, and it is hard to imagine how much wealth he has, but I am sure that he will be richer than any of the princes of Germany.

When I think of hamburgers, I think of something else.

By the time I left Europe, the land of Germany had been disturbed by the wars of religion, and the apostate princes of the north had fought against the Emperor's army by force, and the flames of war were already burning in many places, tormenting our poor people.

Well, I wish my hometown of Cologne, and Hamburg, the glorious cities of Cologne, could escape this terrible fate! I sincerely believe that God will bless his devout followers. When I just left, I thought that I would not miss my hometown, but now, when I leave the country for thousands of miles, I often think about it, hope! Please also tell me more about the current situation in Germany when you reply to the letter in the future, thank you.

Okay, with that to the point, I'll move on to what happened to us later.
