Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 436 A Little Riot on the Dock

Bai Mingxiu rubbed his belly while no one was paying attention. He seemed to have eaten too much fruit in the morning and now he felt like having diarrhea.But after all, on such an important occasion, he still had to maintain his manners.

"To be able to prepare such a huge fleet to sail around the world is a particularly remarkable thing. Ming Dynasty deserves to be a great country." Bai Mingxiu couldn't help admiring.

Sister Lion said from the side: "She will become more and more great under your governance."

He came to see him off. Finally, in this winter, the Ming Dynasty's circumnavigation fleet will set sail and start the performance that will last for more than two years. More than 3 Ming people and more than 100 ships will participate in this event that will be recorded in history. , Ming’s reputation will spread widely on this planet.

There is no particularly grand ceremony for the send-off this time, because there are too many people in the fleet, and there are many processes involved. The cargo has to be boarded, the passengers have to be boarded, and there are various things on the dock, the fleet’s formation coordination, and various things. , so that Bai Mingxiu simply held a send-off ceremony, everyone should do whatever they want, and the emperor himself waved his hands on the pier, pretending to be.

However, as the main person in charge of this round-the-world voyage, Bai Mingxiu received the fleet commander Wang Kai, the main envoy Liang Haisheng, and the business representative Yu Chenglong.

Liang Haisheng was Bai Mingxiu's translator, and Bai Mingxiu was familiar enough with him.On the other hand, Wang Kai and Bai Mingxiu couldn't tell whether they were familiar with it or not. This was simply a clone of himself, doing things on its own when he wasn't logged in.

It was the first time I met Yu Chenglong and Bai Mingxiu, an upright and honest official with a good reputation in history. The biggest stain in Nanming was that he was once an official in the Qing Dynasty. In the officialdom, officials with an official background are much stricter.In fact, most of the Qing Dynasty officials basically had no chance to become officials of the Ming Dynasty, and even if they did, most of them were at a very low level.

Yu Chenglong was an exception. He was a man of action, and after setting things right, he devoted himself to learning a new set of knowledge. Later, when Bai Mingxiu heard that Yu Chenglong was in office, the economy developed rapidly and the industry and commerce flourished. as surprised.After all, not everyone can absorb the theories from later generations so quickly, let alone use them in practice.

After passing the assessment, Yu Chenglong was promoted to the Ministry of Commerce and was appointed as the commercial representative this time, as one of the three main persons in charge of the global voyage.

"Let me encourage you all, this round-the-world voyage depends on you." Bai Mingxiu has become less and less fond of giving long speeches recently. He is very down-to-earth, talking about things when they are relevant, and does not create extra useless work.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Yu Chenglong was still very excited after seeing His Majesty the Emperor. This man is a relatively old-fashioned official, and his mind is full of things like being loyal to the emperor and the world.

The three of them don't need to report anything to Bai Mingxiu anymore. Bai Mingxiu knows the route of the fleet and what they are going to do.

The three officials here were about to board the ship after seeing the emperor, but there was a commotion on the pier.

"What's going on? Escort!" Bai Mingxiu's chief guard quickly flashed out, and even the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei and martial arts master Ma Zouri also flashed out.

Bai Mingxiu, on the other hand, is the type who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. He stretched his neck and watched over there, and shouted: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it looks like someone wants to get on the boat."

Bai Mingxiu couldn't go there in person, he had an idea, and directly logged into Wang Kai's body, controlling the Rear Admiral to go up.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

The crew on the pier immediately saluted the major general, and another person grabbed a skinny young man and said, "Report to the commander, this guy wanted to use someone else's ticket to board the ship, but we stopped him."

Passengers on the Penglai Xiandao are all registered, and tickets must be purchased through ID cards. After all, such a large voyage is also a diplomatic event. Bai Mingxiu does not want any mistakes to occur, so all participants have to go through preliminary review.

Bai Mingxiu glanced at the young man. Although he was dressed in shabby clothes and was very thin, there was a kind of light in his eyes.

"Why did you sneak onto the boat?"

The young man seemed to realize that the young officer in front of him was a person of status, he said: "Mr. Jun, this is all a misunderstanding. I have a ticket and I can board the ship!"

The shipman said: "You Jin Gu'er are just a gangster. At least half of the people on the dock know you. You are usually sneaky and you are not a good person."

Bai Mingxiu looked at the young man and said, "The ticket is registered, if you don't buy it in your name, you won't be able to board the boat."

The young man named Jin Guan'er puffed up his cheeks and said dissatisfied: "What kind of rules are these? I am playing cards with others. If I win this ticket, I can get on the ship!"

Bai Mingxiu was delighted to hear what he said. I dare say this guy won his boat ticket by playing cards. This passage sounds familiar.

Bai Mingxiu asked: "Jin Guner, why did you go on board?"

Jin Guner said: "If you go back to the army, I'm tired of staying in Tianjin Wei. I heard many people say that going abroad can make a lot of money. Who doesn't want to go back to their hometown with a good life and a good clothes, so they want to go out and do a big business!"

"You have courage." Bai Mingxiu smiled, "Isn't there a place to recruit immigrants? If you apply for immigrants, you will go to North America, Australia or something, and you will be given dozens of acres of land."

Jin Gun'er quickly shook his head: "Not suitable, not suitable, I have never served the crops, I just need to be more flexible."

Bai Mingxiu nodded, and said: "It's fine if you want to venture out. But if you can't get on the Penglai Xiandao, I can send you to work as a boatman on a logistics ship. It's a job, and you end up somewhere overseas. , If you want to disembark and wander around, then go, but if you die or die, it has nothing to do with the fleet."

Jin Guan'er was quite pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that this officer, who looked as cheeky as himself, had so much power and could even arrange for him to board other ships.

However, Jin Gun'er was still a little disappointed that he couldn't board the Penglai Xiandao. He greedily glanced at the luxury cruise ship again and said, "Sooner or later, my master will buy a first-class ticket and get on this ship." Play on the big boat!"

Bai Mingxiu didn't know whether this young man would really be able to fulfill his wish in the future, but he saw in this man that a Da Ming with a throbbing heart was inspiring countless adventurers and entrepreneurs to create their own future.

The most proud thing about a country is that it has given its citizens opportunities, opportunities to survive, opportunities to live, and even opportunities to realize themselves.
