The three boats slowly docked on the dock, and Xu Bing, Liu Zhiwei and others hurriedly caught up.

When he came to the big boat, he saw that the board bridge had been built on the side of the gunwale, but he couldn't see Qian Zhixian, but a person who looked like a family man stepped off the boat and said to Xu and Liu: "Are you the officials who came to greet you, Lord Zhixian asked you to come on the boat to meet you." ”

The two should claim to be, stepping on the board bridge and getting on the boat.

Xu Bing couldn't help muttering: "Since this Lord Qian has come to Nanao to take office, why don't you get off the boat and go to the county yamen with us, but ask us to get on the boat to worship him, wouldn't it be too much!"

Liu Zhiwei said: "General Xu doesn't understand, the most important thing for the official capital is to establish official authority, this Qian Zhixian first arrived in Nanao, he wanted to put on a show, and he wanted me to wait for the boat to meet him." ”

Xu Bing pouted and said: "You civil officials are really weird, but our generals who lead troops to fight are not so particular. ”

Qian Baichuan is a fat man with a big belly, Xu and Liu got on the boat and entered the cabin, and they saw him immediately. The two reported their names and paid homage, Qian Baichuan just waved his hand casually, and the official authority was really not small.

The so-called "official level crushes people to death", not to mention that this Qian Zhixian still has a lot of background, although Xu Bing is a little disdainful, he doesn't dare to show it.

"This county went to Hangzhou to visit my uncle Min, and when he left, his old man personally assigned a boat to see him off, so he changed the waterway, but it was hard for you to come to the dock to greet him!" Qian Baichuan squinted his eyes and said leisurely, as if he was afraid that others would not know how big his backer was.

Xu Bing was disdainful in his heart and had no words, but Liu Zhiwei was a person with eight faces, and he greeted him with his hand: "Coming to greet Lord Zhixian is within the part of my subordinates, how can it be hard? ”

Hearing this, Qian Baichuan was very proud in his heart, but he pretended to wave his hand and said: "This county has just taken office, and it has not yet made any merits, how dare you talk about promotion? However, the boat sent by my uncle is indeed extraordinary. This three-masted ship is one of the best ships in Zhejiang, and it is not the same as those small boats of your Guangdong Realm Sailors! General Xu, have you ever seen a ship that is taller than the ship in this county?"

Over the years, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has been empty, and military spending has been greatly reduced, and there are indeed not many big ships left in the Guangdong Navy, and the three-masted ship that Qian Zhixian took has become the capital he used to show off his official authority.

Xu Bing had no choice but to respond: "The last general is short-sighted, which makes Lord Qian smile." ”

Qian Baichuan said: "It's not that General Xu's knowledge is shallow, but that the county has a huge boat, and there will definitely be no small place like yours!"

He laughed, turned his head to Liu Zhiwei and said: "Master Liu, you have been serving in the local area for many years, what are the first things to do in this county, what are the customs and habits in this South Australia, how is the local economy, can there be something special, how about introducing one or two to this county?"

Liu Zhiwei replied respectfully: "Yes." Subordinate in the county office as the chief bookkeeper, has been ten years, the local customs are known a thing or two, although Nanao is located in some remote, but the folk customs are simple and good, the place is quite rich, it is a very good place, the former county commander Huang Tingkai Huang Lord in Nanao for eight years, transferred out of the gold and silver soft enough to load as many as 18 cars. There is only one thing that needs to be paid attention to as an official here......"

This Master Liu is worthy of rolling in the officialdom for many years, and he knows what the county magistrate who has just arrived is most concerned about, and only a few words of introduction aroused Qian Baichuan's interest.

Xu Bing was not interested in what Liu Zhiwei said, his eyes wandered, and he inadvertently glanced out of the window of the cabin, and suddenly his eyes widened, his mouth opened and he couldn't close it, and his face was full of surprise.

He stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, and said loudly, "Look, how can that ship be so big!"

Qian Baichuan was listening to the excitement, and was interrupted by Xu Bing's call, and couldn't help but feel displeased, and said: "There are big and small ships on the sea, why should General Xu make a fuss, can that ship be as big as a boat in this county......

Before he finished speaking, Xu Bing's eyes suddenly straightened.

The wooden window on that side was facing the open sea, through the window, Qian Baichuan only saw a ship breaking through the wind and heading towards Nanao Port, and what surprised him was that the ship was too huge!

The three-masted ship in Qianzhi County is about ten zhang long, and the ship's side is out of the water, which is not small, but the ship on the opposite side is at least forty or fifty zhang long, and the water on the side of the ship is as high as five zhang, with a total of nine masts and more than 20 sails. In front of such a behemoth, his ship is a small sampan!

A moment ago, he was still saying that there could be no big ships in a small place like South Australia, but now it seems that it is a joke, and the person who has never seen the world is really himself!

In addition to being surprised, Qian Baichuan couldn't help but feel a little ugly, and said: "The 'sea ban order' of this dynasty has been promulgated for many years, and the people are not allowed to build large ships with more than two masts, this ship is so huge, there are nine masts, it is really a blatant violation of the imperial court ban, Liu Zhubo, quickly sent the official to investigate, who belongs to this ship, this county must be punished according to the law!"

Liu Zhiwei only said yes, but Xu Bing's face on the side began to turn pale. He is a military general, and he still has a little vision compared to civil officials such as Qian Baichuan and Liu Zhiwei, and he can see that the giant ship at sea is not an ordinary merchant ship transporting goods at all, but a warship. The square windows arranged layer by layer on the side are clearly all cannon holes, and with such large holes, I am afraid that the Hongyi artillery installed behind them is more than thousands of catties.

There are hundreds of these cannon holes, and if the other party intends to attack, hundreds of Hongyi artillery pieces only need one salvo to blast all the three official ships in Qianzhi County to pieces!

No matter who owns this giant battleship, it is definitely not something they can provoke, Qian Baichuan treats the tiger as a sheep, and wants to cure other people's crimes, he simply doesn't know whether to live or die.

Xu Bingzheng wanted to say something to dissuade him, but Qian Baichuan suddenly said "Huh" and said, "What's going on with those sides, why did someone break into the dock?"

In order to welcome the new boat to Renzhi County, the entire Nanao wharf has long been closed under martial law, and ordinary fishermen are not allowed to come in. At this time, he saw dozens of horsemen galloping in from outside the dock, and the officers and soldiers guarding the guards actually dodged and gave way, not daring to block it.

Qian Baichuan's face sank. Today, when he arrived as a new official, he wanted to put on a show in order to establish official authority in South Australia, but he didn't know that what he encountered was so unsmooth, those riders who broke into the dock were men and women, and the outfits were not from the government, just some ordinary people, and there was even a brown and white two long-haired dogs.

Xu Bing looked at the dock, but saw some clues, and said: "It seems that the family members who came in over there are Chai Dashan, no wonder the soldiers dare not stop it." ”

When Qian Baichuan heard this, he was even more angry, and said: "What is Chai Dashan doing, is it because the king of the dynasty can't succeed, and even the officers and soldiers don't dare to stop him!"

Liu Zhiwei said: "My lord doesn't know, Chai Dashan's name is Chai Lin, he is the richest local squire, and his power is not small, and most of the various industries in this Nanao town are owned by his family, and it is said that Chai Mansion also raises hundreds of customers, all of whom are powerful people." The thing that subordinates said just now should pay attention to when being a local official is not to offend the Chai family. ”

Qian Baichuan slapped the table, glared and said: "What kind of good man is Chai Dashan, he is just a squire, why can't he be offended? You must know that this county is the parent official of South Australia! Come on, go and arrest all these Diao people who forcibly broke into the dock!"

Seeing that Qian Zhixian was angry, Xu Bing and Liu Zhiwei looked at each other, both with bitter faces.

At this time, the men had already galloped to the wooden bridge on the shore, stopped one after another, turned over and jumped off their horses, and saw one of them walk out and shout loudly: "The officers and men in the wharf have all listened! Today, the head of my Chai Mansion family has sent the nobles out to sea, and outsiders are not allowed to stay here, so they all exit the wharf at once! The three official ships parked on the shore are limited to leaving the shore within a quarter of an hour, and those who do not leave by that time will bear the consequences!"

Xu and Liu both knew that it was Mr. Xie Er, the housekeeper of Chai Mansion, who was shouting, and the head of the family, Chai Lin, was also in that team and was talking to a man in white.

Qian Baichuan trembled with anger, and stood up from the chair, before he, the magistrate, had time to act, the other party came to clear the scene first, and knew that this was an official ship and drove people so blatantly, his tone was as loud as the king of heaven!

"It's the other way around! These people are really lawless!" Qian Baichuan shouted, "Why are you two still standing here, go out and call people and arrest them all!"

Liu Zhiwei stared out of the cabin, and suddenly recognized who the white-clothed boy beside Chai Lin was, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said, "I can't catch it! Lord Zhixian, these people can't be caught!"

Qian Baichuan said: "Why can't you catch it?"

Liu Zhiwei said: "It's the young master in white, Huang Zhixian also ordered the arrest back then, but he broke into the court with a group of people and beat Lord Huang to serious injuries, such a big villain can't be provoked!"

Openly beating up an official of the imperial court in the public court? Qian Baichuan was stunned, and his mind couldn't turn for a while.

Xu Bing was also taken aback when he heard this, and said: "I heard that Lord Huang was surrounded by a group of strongmen in the yamen, and he lay on the bed for more than half a year before he could get off the ground, and because of the improper bones, he had a problem with long and short legs.

Liu Zhiwei said: "Then there can be a fake! At that time, Liu was in the yamen, but fortunately he escaped by getting under the table in time, but he could see it clearly, although more than six years have passed, he will never admit his mistake!"
