After seeing these two Cangshan ships, He Qiang seemed to think of something, and said to Li Nai: "The ship that led us in front seems to be the warship of my Daming Sailor......

The "Haixun 01" ship was the naval warship captured after crossing the group and landing in Shengli Harbor. When Luo Shengdong was released back to Yazhou, he argued that the ship was damaged and needed to be repaired ashore at Shengli Harbor. As a result, the ship was hacked by the crossing group for no apparent reason, and it was renamed and brushed with a new port number. Luo Shengdong is also single, and when he can see each other in and out of this harbor, he actually turns a blind eye to this ship, as if he doesn't know the origin of this ship at all.

But Luo Shengdong pretended not to recognize it, which does not mean that others can't tell the difference between this civilian ship and a warship. The side of the ship was built like a castle wall, so that the officers and men of the navy could use firearms on board, and this alone was very different from the civilian Fufu. Although the sailors on the "Haixun 01" set up a lot of fishing nets on the side of the ship, they still showed a piece of childishness and was seen by the sharp-eyed He steward.

Li Naiqiang smiled and said: "Uncle He, I'll just say that you are too worried! This place is under the rule of my Daming Naval Master, how can there be a saying that maritime merchants have built forts privately?"

He Qiang only felt extremely confused at this time, as if this was the only way to explain what he was seeing, but why did he always feel that something was wrong?

At this time, the fleet had already sailed into the Shengli Harbor, and Li Nai excitedly raised his hand and pointed ahead: "Uncle He, look, that is the legendary Haihan Iron Ship!"

When anyone in this time and space sees a steel giant like the "New World", they will inevitably be greatly shocked and shocked, even the well-informed He Qiang is no exception. At that time, when everyone listened to Shopkeeper Li describe the magnificence of the Haihan Iron Ship, almost all of them listened as a joke to hear that there would be someone in the world who was stupid enough to use tens of millions of catties of iron to build a ship, and the ship built in that way would not sink directly into the sea?

But when he really saw this behemoth appear in front of him, all the doubts at the beginning had been thrown out of the clouds, and He Qiang couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Who is the fool in the end? Is it the Haihan people who built these big iron ships? Or did he quietly laugh at the shopkeeper Li for bragging about not making drafts?

There was more than one iron ship of the Haihan people, and when they saw a row of smaller iron ships docked behind the "New World", they were completely speechless. Almost every one of these small iron ships was larger than the four hundred seagoing ships in their fleet, with slender hulls and beautiful lines. The only thing they don't understand is that none of these iron ships, large or small, have masts or sails, and it seems that the Haihan people did not intend to use these iron ships to go to sea, or that there was something wrong with these iron ships that they could not go to sea, which also seems to be a good explanation for why they still need to pay for second-hand sea ships from the mainland.

The wharf of Victory Harbor is not small, stretching along the coastline, a hundred feet wide, and the westernmost part is not yet finished, and there are still nearly 100 laborers toiling in the sun. But Li Nai and He Qiang noticed that there were not many sailing ships docked on this pier, only two or three, and they didn't know where the sea boats they bought for the Haihan people had gone.

The sailors on board threw several cables from the bow and stern to the wharf, and some migrant workers tied the cables to the stone cable piles on the shore to fix the boat.

He Qiang suddenly patted his head and said, "I know what's wrong! Although this ship is a sailor's ship, the people on board are not sailors!"

Li Nai looked at it, but it was not as He Qiang said, these crew sailors who landed on the dock from the Zhengtong guò gangplank on the "Haixun 01" were not dressed as sailors at all, but in a one-color blue cloth short coat. Only the last two people were dressed in colorful clothes, and their hair was like that of a monk, with only a short section of their scalp popping out.

"It's Haihan, and the last two are Haihan!" Li Nai clearly remembered that his cousin mentioned that Haihan men generally have short hair, the length is basically not over the shoulder, and they don't keep their hair in a bun.

He Qiang didn't have the excitement of Li Nai at this time, these Haihan people were not only very familiar with the Ming army's sailors, but even the sailors' warships were occupied, what kind of situation was this?

The two went ashore with their own thoughts, and they were greeted at the dock by Schneider, the head of the Ministry of Commerce. Schneider's work needs to deal with the outside world, so he is currently stationed in the No. 1 base of Shengli Port, and it will be more convenient for him to receive foreign businessmen when they visit.

The two sides introduced each other's identities, and inevitably exchanged greetings such as "long admiration and long admiration" and "politeness". Regarding the handover of goods and ships, the staff of Schneider's own Ministry of Commerce contacted the stewards of "Fu Ruifeng", while Li Nai and He Qiang, two distinguished guests, were accompanied by Schneider and went to the No. 1 base to rest and recuperate.

At present, as the first phase of the Shengli Port Wharf project is nearing completion, the 300-meter-long "Landscape Avenue" from the wharf to the gate of the No. 1 base has been basically completed as a supporting project and the "External Publicity Model Project" approved by the Executive Committee. The width of the avenue has reached six meters, and the entire road surface has been hardened with cement concrete, which is much smoother than the loess roads or stone roads of the same era. Li Nai and He Qiang were secretly surprised when they stepped on this road, and they didn't understand how this solid road surface could be so smooth and uniform.

On both sides of the road, a large number of street trees are planted mainly coconut palms at intervals of three meters, and there are strip-shaped flower beds and simple benches made of tung oil after cutting the logs in half on the roadside. If it weren't for the fact that the power supply of the No. 1 base was already in a relatively tight state, the executive committee even planned to install a few LED street lights here, but it seems that it can only be replaced by oil lamps with poor visibility for the time being. But Rao is so, and this elegant environment also makes the newcomers Li He and his wife feel very novel.

Even in Guangzhou, where the prosperity of the city is more than ten times that of this place, they have never seen a road that can be built in such a regular manner. Li Nai couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Shi, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, why can this road be kept so clean?"

Schneider said with a smile: "This is to educate the local people in place, so that they are not allowed to throw waste on the road, and if there is livestock manure, they must also be responsible for cleaning up, and violators will be fined, so almost all livestock now have dung cages on them." The second is to hire a special person to clean it, and every half an hour, there will be a cleaner to patrol the road and clean up the debris on the road. ”

Li Nai was stunned and said: "It's so simple? It's just a matter of hiring someone to clean up, but if you fine the people, how can the people be convinced?"

Schneider said: "Every road and every house here is built by us to organize the people, and cherishing the environment here is the responsibility and obligation of every person living here! ”

Schneider said it very strictly, but the trick of avoiding the important and trivializing it was still heard by the more sophisticated He Qiang. He Qiang interjected: "Then if you come out to punish the people who violate the rules, will the local government ignore it? Or does the Yazhou government not establish a governance office here at all?"

"Yes, of course. Schneider smiled and pointed ahead, "Do you see the small courtyard in front of you? ”

As he spoke, Li Nai could already see the plaque hanging at the door of the small courtyard, and he couldn't help but read it softly: "Yulin Inspection Division...... Mr. Shi, is this someone sent from Yazhou?"

Schneider nodded: "It's like a fake." I don't think you two believe me too much, so let's just accompany you two to have a look. ”

Li Nai said in his heart Even if you don't say this, I will definitely go to see if it is true or not. Whenever this businessman goes to a place, the first thing that needs to be checked is people such as the inspection department, the officials, the tax collectors, etc., if "Fu Ruifeng" wants to do long-term business with the Haihan people, then the inspection department stationed here is of course also the object of the need to be checked. Of course, it is more important to take a look at the situation of the inspection department here, so as to determine whether this place is really as strange as He Qiang thinks.

"Inspector Wei, a guest has come to visit you!" Schneider stood outside the courtyard without knocking on the door, and directly lowered his voice to inform the people in the courtyard.

Soon someone came running and opened the door, nodded and invited the three of them into the courtyard: "Mr. Shi, wait a minute, the Wei inspection has not yet started, and someone has already gone to wake him up." ”

He Qiang couldn't help frowning, now that it was close to noon, this Wei Inspector was still sleeping soundly, and his life was quite comfortable. Looking around the small courtyard again, I saw that the buildings here were all wooden huts, and I couldn't help laughing in my heart, this inspection department does not even have a brick house, it seems that the conditions are also limited, and the Haihan people seem to pay enough attention to the inspection department......

Before this thought was finished, the sneer on the corner of He Qiang's mouth froze, because he saw something very incredible.

He Qiang walked quickly to the window of one of the wooden houses, reached out and touched the window, and the cold touch told him that this thing was really glass! If it weren't for the reflection of this thing in the sun, he would even think that the windows here were all open and empty, and even the window paper was not pasted.

Although this window is inlaid with more than 20 pieces of palm-sized glass, in He Qiang's opinion, this is an extremely shocking thing, and it is no less than the big iron ship I saw in the port just now with a small piece of glass to make a window.
