When the last group of people were sent to the transport ship of the Yang family navy, and the last silver transaction was sent from Yang Yang to the chief eunuch Cao Jixiang, Nanming's vigorous training for the new army began. Various weapons factories also appeared.
With money in the national treasury, various departments in Nanming also began to cry poorly.Faced with this situation, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was in a good mood, swiped his pen. As long as there is a legitimate reason to ask for money, he will all approve it. For a while, the entire senior management of Nanming is beaming, so that those who criticized Zhu Qizhen before The voices of people trading in the town are much less.
Unlike the mentality of the nouveau riche in Nanming, Hanoi City, the original capital of Cochin, also opened a new commercial street at this time.
At this moment, Jiaozhi has been renamed by Yang Chendong, named Vietnam, (that is, their names in later generations).Originally, Yang Chendong wanted to directly change it to the province of Vietnam, but considering the feelings of the two emperors of Nanming, he did not stimulate them in the end and did not do so right away.
The commercial street was opened under the full preparation of Song Zhe, the first governor of the Vietnam region.The entire street is 500 meters long, and there are more than a hundred shops of different sizes standing here. Here you can see all kinds of items sold by mercenaries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, toilet paper, soap, chewing gum, sugar , all kinds of condiments, etc., ranging from all kinds of new clothes (coats, cheongsams, women's underwear), glasses and all kinds of well-packaged drinks, as well as instant noodles, ham sausages and various portable canned food ( Canned pork knuckle, pork with preserved vegetables, Sixi meatballs, meat sauce with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork); the high-end ones include magic mirrors, floor-standing clocks, perfumes and beautifully packaged cosmetics, lipsticks, etc. That's all there is to it.
As soon as you enter this commercial street, you will immediately feel that your eyes are spotless and full of beautiful things. The businessmen from all over the world who came to hear the news only hate that their eyes are not enough, and they only hate that they have too little money on their bodies.
Although the prices of the items sold on this commercial street are not high, the supply is still in short supply.Especially for magical mirrors and floor-standing clocks, the asking price of the former is 10 taels, and the latter is as high as 20 taels.
A dozen of such good things were quickly sold, this is because the merchants who came here did not bring much silver taels, otherwise, they would have sold as many as they had.Think about it, how many nobles there are in a country, even if a noble only needs one piece, that country can at least sell hundreds or thousands of pieces.
Most importantly, such things are only sold by the mercenary family.As for you saying to imitate after you buy it, hehe, it’s enough for them to study it for a while, just like randomly finding something in a clock, and after they research it, new products will be released in Chixian City.
Things are sold, which represents a large recovery of silver.In this era of monopoly, what is even more annoying is that there is no need to pay professional taxes. In just seven days, the total transaction volume has reached more than 5000 million taels of silver. This is only the first batch, because many businessmen have expressed that they will Immediately go back to China to prepare silver taels, ready to come again.
For these potential customers, mercenaries are naturally welcome.In order to stimulate them, Song Zhe also intentionally let out the wind, saying that good things are limited, if you come late, you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.As a result, those businessmen left Vietnam non-stop, just to return to the country immediately, deal with the things in their hands, and then come here with more money.
More than 5000 million taels of silver, leaving a fraction for daily expenses, the whole number of 5000 million taels was loaded on the ship by Yang Chendong, and then he personally led two cold front regiments and fourteen auxiliary barracks to Xiaoliuqiu Island by boat go.
Considering the importance of Vietnam now, and the fact that Ruan Xuancheng, Hong Jin and Chen Di have not completely stopped the rebellion of the original Cochin Army, Yang Chendong left a cold front platoon, two auxiliary battalions and six temporary auxiliary battalions Call Song Zhe.At the same time, there are [-] educated youths in Chixian City who are left behind. With them, the prosperity of Jiaozhi, which is now Vietnam, is just around the corner.
This time, Yang Chendong did not leave with much fanfare. After all, he is still Daming's loyal and courageous man, so he still has to consider some influence.But when sitting on the bow of the boat, watching the waves rolling under his feet, and getting closer to Chixian City, he still couldn't help becoming very excited in his heart.
The last time I left Chixian City was in AD [-], and now it is October in AD [-]. In the blink of an eye, it has been three years.Although I have been reading all kinds of information in Chixian City, I have a certain understanding of the development there.But after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I had a feeling of expectation in my heart.
On the large sea-going ship, Nie Tong, the head of the Second Navy Regiment, Luo Po, the head of the Second Army Regiment, and Wu Sheng, the head of the Third Regiment, were by Yang Chendong's side. .
"Captain Nie, how is the situation on the island? The First Shang Dynasty must have been suppressed for a long time." After a burst of sea breeze, Yang Chendong calmed down a bit, and turned his head to look at the person beside him. Naval Commander Nie Tong.
The reason why Yang Chendong is going to Chixian City this time is not only to see how the development there is, but also to give appropriate technical guidance (of course, this kind of guidance refers to taking out some corresponding books. It’s too profound, just because those people won’t be able to understand it for a while and will be misled), and the other thing is to completely take back Xiaoliuqiu Island in their hands.
Originally, I was always worried about the lack of population. Even if the First Shang Dynasty was wiped out, it would not be able to control it well.But it's different now. With the 450 million people brought in from Nanming, although they can't make full use of it, the population can be said to be sufficient if they can make up half of it.
When Yang Chendong asked about the situation of the First Shang Dynasty, Nie Tong immediately came over and said excitedly, "Sixth Young Master, everything is ready. The brothers below have said that under the attack of the navy and land, In at most three days, the First Shang Dynasty can be completely wiped out."
"Very good." Hearing this answer, Yang Chendong laughed in satisfaction.It has only been more than three years since he came to this world, but he has changed too much, and once the foundation is laid, it is time for the real Han nationality to take off in the world.
The new pier in Chixian City is crowded with people at the moment, and many people are standing on the newly built concrete square and looking at it from a distance.
This is because Master Leng Song led a team to maintain law and order. Some unnecessary people have been cleared, and they can do what they should do. Otherwise, the people waiting here will still stand at a geometrically multiplied speed. here.
It's just that some people can be persuaded to leave, and some people cannot be persuaded at all.For example, several ladies standing under a big umbrella.
Although it is already October weather, when the sun is full at noon, the sun still has a burning feeling when it shines on people.Holding a big umbrella is just to prevent direct sunlight.
Hu Yan, Xue Niangzi, and Hu Man'er were waiting here with their maids, Xiaoqing, Xiaowei, and Xiaoyun.
And just over 50 meters away from them, there was another tall girl in military uniform standing there looking up.
I saw this woman wearing a camouflage military uniform with the rank of major, standing there tall and straight.
Perhaps because she is often exposed to the sun, her skin can't be said to be very white, but seriously, it still has a healthy complexion like wheat.Because of this, under the flickering blink of a pair of big eyes, the whole person appears to be more aura, and shows an indescribable heroic temperament.
She is Luan Xiaoyu, the head of propaganda in the army of Chixian City, the girl who was held in Yang Chendong's arms more than three years ago.It’s just that compared to that time, she now has a height of nearly 1.6 meters. You must know that she is not yet 14 years old, and she already has a pair of long legs. If she grows like this, she will be about 1.7 meters tall That was an absolute breeze.
5Chapter 16 Family and Friends
Originally, the body proportions are very good, and with the addition of a military uniform, it adds a little bit of temperament. If it is not for the somewhat immature expression, I am afraid that any man who sees it will inevitably be unable to walk. .
But even if she is less than 14 years old, in the entire Chixian City, there are not many men who secretly like her. If it weren't for the rumors that she liked the "God" of Chixian City, and that god would also If you really like her, I'm afraid that the door-to-door proposal of marriage would have broken the threshold long ago.
Don't be surprised, in that era, many women got married at the age of 14, and some even became mothers at this age.
It's just that Luan Xiaoyu is no one else, not only is it rumored that she has a good relationship with the Lord God, but the status of the Luan family in Chixian City is very few people can compare with.Let's see, Luan's father, Luan Qi, is now the director of the power plant; Luan's mother, Zhou Hua, is now the director of the garment factory; With the rank of major.
The four members of the family are all cadres, and all of them are not low-level, so how can the women of such a family be matched by ordinary people?
Not to mention, Luan Xiaoyu has always been very angry, her heart was stolen when she first met Yang Chendong, how can she let others go in her eyes.If it wasn't for military affairs, she couldn't easily leave the island, and she might have gone to Daming to find her sweetheart.
Well, knowing that Yang Chendong was going back to the island for inspection this time, she came to the new pier early to wait.While waiting, her eyes would look at Hu Yan and the other girls not far away from time to time.
Luan Xiaoyu knew that these three women were the wives and concubines of that godly lord.The news had been spread long after they came to the island.
For this matter, her mother Zhou Hua has told her more than once to let her have time to get close to the three wives. After all, she will serve the same master in the future. If the relationship is established now, she will not suffer in the future.
This is one of the benefits of men in feudal society.As long as you have the ability to marry a few concubines, there is absolutely no problem. Not only will no one criticize you, but it will be taken for granted.After all, those who have the ability need a woman to open up for them, right?
It's just that Luan Xiaoyu is still a little younger after all, and her skin is a bit thin, so although she knew about the existence of these three wives, she never went to visit them.She also believed that the three ladies would also know of her existence, after all, she was more or less a celebrity in Chixian City.
She is famous not because of her parents, elder brother or relationship with the god, but as the head of the Propaganda Department of the military department, she organized the female soldiers below to compile a lot of programs, which greatly inspired the army and all kinds of people. The morale of factory workers has been praised more than once by teachers Leng Song and Kaohsiung for their outstanding performance.Even Mr. Yu Qianyu, who is currently in charge of the overall work of Chixian City, is full of praise for this little girl.
By the way, speaking of Mr. Li, he is one of the few officials from the Yang family who did not come to the new pier to greet Yang Chendong.Maybe he still doesn't know how to face Yang Chendong, or maybe he is really a workaholic and doesn't want to waste time on this kind of human relationship.However, the two division commanders, Leng Song and Gao Xiong, were already standing here.They can have everything they have now, entirely because of Yang Chendong's appreciation and promotion, even if they want to repay their kindness, they must appear here at this time.
It is true that when so many people are waiting here, in the anticipation of everyone, a large ship-like shadow finally appeared in the distance, and then someone shouted loudly, "The ship is coming!"
With this shout, everyone's eyes were focused, and even the three ladies who had been sitting under the big umbrella couldn't help getting up, expressing their anxiety and expectation.
Yang Chendong's ship was a new type of ship powered by coal, so the speed was naturally extremely fast. In just half an hour, the big ship had already arrived at the new pier and began to dock slowly.And at the new pier, the navy has long been commanding and conducting security and defense work here.
Although Chixian City is the base of the Yang family, no one here should threaten Yang Chendong.But for the sake of safety, there should be some security work to be done.It's like when a ship touches the shore, the soldiers of the first and second guards get off the ship first, taking over and supplementing the defensive tasks.
After the safety work was arranged, Yang Chendong, accompanied by Luo Po, Nie Yong and others, got out of the big ship and arrived at the new pier.
When he stepped firmly on the new pier, Yang Chendong felt a very strong sense of steadfastness, and his mood became better, laughing loudly.
"Husband" waited for Yang Chendong to come to the concrete square in front of the pier, Hu Yan had already brought the third wife Xue Niangzi and the fifth wife Su Man'er to greet him.
"Madam, hehe, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Hu Yan and the three daughters coming together, Yang Chendong grinned even more, and then opened his arms in front of everyone. Hu Yan, who was walking in the front, was hugged in her arms.
This action is naturally out of feeling. Although the time of separation is not very long, there are many things that have been experienced, giving people a sense of length.Coupled with the fact that Yang Chendong was originally a man of temperament, he naturally showed no repression at this moment.
But even such an action is still a bit exaggerated in the eyes of others.Some surrounding security guards and naval soldiers couldn't help but quickly turned their heads in other directions. Obviously, for them, such an action was still too big.
At that time, even if there was anything between husband and wife, they had to go back to the boudoir to do it. In front of outsiders, it was considered indecent to hug and hug. Once some old masters saw it, it would inevitably be Some preaching, even punishment is possible.
It's just that Yang Chendong didn't have such an awareness, it was just a public hug, compared to later generations who dared to kiss in the street, this was really nothing.
This hug made Hu Yan very happy, but she was also a little shy, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered in Yang Chendong's ear: "Husband, many people are watching. Besides, if you want to hug me, you can't just hug me, there are two younger sisters." Woolen cloth."
This is the style of a big woman.Her husband had another woman, not only could she not stop her, but she had to be very magnanimous.Even if this generosity is pretended, it must be pretended.Otherwise, the reputation of a jealous woman will inevitably fall on her head.
Hearing Hu Yan whispering to himself, Yang Chendong chuckled, and said in a low voice, "Well, I'm cleaning you up that night." After that, regardless of Hu Yan's blushing like water, he let go of her, and with the lady Xue who was following her Hug with Su Man'er.
Undoubtedly, the two women's complexions were also flushed, bright red.
