Chapter 2495 under the city of Penglai
The most important thing in Yingzhou for the Ming Dynasty was population and gold and silver production.
The Ming Dynasty needed population overseas, so Yingzhou kept recruiting, all of them going overseas.
After those people went out, sometimes they came back with letters, which described overseas as a paradise and a good place full of gold and silver, which attracted those people to rush onto the ships they transported.
Since the large-scale mining of gold and silver, the minerals in Yingzhou have become Xia Yuanji's heart. Anyone who dares to destroy them is the enemy of the Ministry of Revenue.
Every year, the navy will determine the time to transport gold and silver after surveying the currents and climate. Whenever there is any error, Xia Yuanji will spray the five military governor's office as a girl.
Yes, he would criticize the Governor's Office of the Five Army and would never criticize the old Zheng He and Hong Bao.
Therefore, the navy is very clear about this route. It is very clear that there are ocean currents and storms in all seasons almost all year round, which ensures the safety of this short route.
Apart from transportation, the fleet's time has almost not changed much, which is also an opportunity for those smuggling ships to take advantage of loopholes to go out to sea. Otherwise, their ships would be smashed into pieces by the artillery of the Ming Navy and become food for fish in the sea.
“There is Wakasa Bay ahead!”
Fang Xing walked out of the cabin. Listening to these familiar words, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he landed in Wakasa Bay.
There was no wave on the sea, and more than ten fishing boats were running desperately towards the Inner Lake.
Wakasa Bay has a lake and the sea, making it very convenient to enter and exit.
“Login!”
A dock has been built on the left, but there is not a single ship on the dock.
"Xing Hebo, the ship must have been on the sea to patrol."
Hong Bao felt a little embarrassed and was about to look back and check who was on duty, and then kicked Kuwu.
Fang Xing ignored this, he was looking at the shore.
Many people appeared on the shore, all kneeling there.
The ship slowly approached the dock, and more than ten people knelt there and shouted, "Welcome to you."
"The Ming Dynasty said it well."
Fang Xing praised.
The only person standing bowed and said, "Secretary Xu Li has met the Lord, the Lord Hong, and the Lord Fu."
Zhu Gaoxu was already trapped in North Korea and couldn't extricate himself. He searched for women all day long, preparing to make his fiefdom count 10,000 today and 100,000 next year.
So Fang Xing walked in front and saw the people of Yingzhou very honest, he asked, "Are you still respectful here?"
When Xu Li saw Hong Bao and Fu Xian standing behind Fang Xing, he was already guessing. Now seeing Fang Xing asking casually, he remembered the news from the other side of the sea a few days ago, and asked, "But Xing He Bo?"
Fang Xing nodded slightly, and Xu Li said excitedly: "Report to Mr. Bo, the people here are now living and working in peace and contentment, and many people have migrated from the Central Plains, and it is gradually the same."
"Demon God!"
Some people knelt on the ground roared and then kowtowed devoutly.
Fang Xing frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
Xu Li couldn't hide his excitement, "Bo Ye, these people respect you as gods."
Fang Xing covered his forehead and said, "Brother...forget it, go to Penglai."
...
Penglai City has now been completely renewed. The newly built city walls are strong and tall, and have been expanded a lot. They no longer have to be fenced outside the city.
Moreover, in recent years, the General Administration has mobilized many people to repair roads. The current traffic is incomparable to the past. Penglai, where the General Administration is located, naturally becomes more and more prosperous.
Since the establishment of the General Administration and the General Secretary, the psychology of the people in Yingzhou has basically gone through two stages.
The first stage is fear, fear of the strong, so obey.
After half a year, the old order was broken, the originally deep-rooted class was overturned, and the people were surprised to find that they had become the first-class person in Yingzhou.
Most of the original nobles and warriors were finished. For ordinary people, as long as you pay a lot less tax than before, you are a good citizen and don’t have to worry about your life being in danger.
Life is better and consumption capacity is improved, and Penglai City is becoming more prosperous.
"Business has always been a disaster for the strong and strong. The people Li Shen told him have no foundation, so what are you Jinyiwei going to do?"
Xin Chao stood outside Penglai City, looking at the dense crowd at the city gate, and said, "Brother, some fence-skinned grass gave up resistance at the last moment, but they were all a big trouble after all. Moreover, their family has a good reputation in Yingzhou, and this thing is a thing of fame..."
"What's the use if it's not loyal to the reputation of the Ming Dynasty?"
Fang Xing said coldly.
Xin Chao bowed and said, "The emperor will receive the order."
Fang Xing nodded and said, "At present, the situation in Yingzhou seems to be very good, but there are many insects. These insects are hiding in the soil. We are going to dig them out and step on them to death!"
Xin Chao said: "My uncle, please rest assured. The Jinyiwei in Yingzhou has been operating for many years and has put a lot of eyeliners. With a command, you can do it at any time."
Fang Xing nodded with satisfaction, "The Jinyiwei is very outstanding, and he will definitely be famous in history in the future."
Xin Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Last time Xiaguan encountered an emergency on his way back to Beijing, and he showed the Jinyiwei sign. A boat of literati was scolding the lackeys and butchers. Xiaguan was full of energy at that time, but this basin of cold water was poured on. I really wanted to draw my sword and slaughter those corrupt scholars."
"The Jinyiwei is the sword in the hands of the emperor and the sharpest sword in the Ming Dynasty. If the current situation is not on their side, we will naturally be ridiculed, it is just a barking dog."
The situation of literati in power makes people feel a headache. They like to praise and criticize current affairs, which doesn't matter, but they don't have that knowledge. Even keyboard warriors in later generations are not as good as those in the future. They also have to give guidance to the country. This is the biggest mistake of misleading people and the country.
I could already see the city wall, and the sound of trumpets on the city wall immediately rang.
In the telescope, there was no chaos on the city, and soldiers kept flocking to them.
Under the city, the city gates began to close decisively. The people who wanted to snatch into the city were beaten. Under the threat of rows of long spears, they quickly ran to both sides.
Fang Xing pulled his horse, and there was a neighing sound behind him, and a thousand-house army began to dismount.
A evil spirit began to spread. When Xin Chao saw it, he was excited and shouted: "My uncle, I am willing to sign up."
When you are unidentified, no matter who you are, it is best to go to the city to report your name first, otherwise you will be killed by a crossbow. Don’t blame yourself for your bad luck.
There are few firearms here, but there are many ancient long-range weapons such as bed crossbows. One crossbow arrow is enough to penetrate a team of sergeants into meat skewers.
Fang Xing nodded slightly, and Xin Chao said happily: "Don't worry, I will definitely not weaken your reputation."
He took the horse away, and Wu Yue said disdainfully: "No one can be weak in his name. Who dares to do so in Yingzhou? The subordinates will lead people to destroy his clan!"
Fang Xing was looking at the city wall and said, "I haven't come for a long time, I miss you a little."
...
On the top of the city, the soldiers were turning the winch hard. Amid the squeaking sounds, some soldiers shouted: "Bound arrow!"
A huge crossbow arrow, two meters long, was placed in the arrow groove.
The arrow was sharp and aimed at Xin Chao who was racing from afar.
When the generals on the city wall saw that Xin Chao was only here, they put down their telescope and said, "It must have been a landing, but Yingzhou has no warning, and it is not the time to rotate and station. Who are they?"
"Sir, it's not our incident, right?"
The general glared at the people around him and cursed: "It's just a benefit. If we want to take us down, we only need a decree. How can we make such a big fan? Isn't this a pity in Yingzhou?"
He said that, but the general was also a little worried.
This place is overseas for the garrison, and overseas garrisons are naturally full of complaints.
In order to boost morale, the army turned a blind eye to some of the soldiers' small actions. Even if they reported to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office, they were still sank to the sea.
The general cheered up and said, "I have to plow the land and put milk in the cows, but I don't allow the cows to eat some tender grass. There are no such rules in any dynasty and generation. Don't worry."
"Have milk?"
Several officers around him held back their laughter, and then Xin Chao had arrived below, someone asked loudly, "Where did you come from?"
Xin Chao raised his head and shouted loudly: "Xing He Bo is right behind, open the door!"
The city wall suddenly became silent.
