readxTang Xianwen walked with two people on the streets of Macau.
Looking at the people and things in front of him, he was filled with emotion.
The old Tang family had been working in the naval camp for generations and was an old military household.
In Tang Xianwen's father's life, there were many I got a job as a shipbuilder, that is, repairing ships, and I could barely make ends meet.
Fortunately, I didn’t have many children at home. , only had two sons.
Old Tang gritted his teeth and sent his two sons to private schools.
A year ago, the commander ordered Mr.
Zhao’s son to gather the remaining military personnel.
Tang Xianwen resigned from the private school in order to let his younger brother Tang Xianwu continue to study, and he went to follow Mr.
Zhao.
In the past six months, I have received a monthly salary of one tael, and I also receive rewards from time to time, which is more than my father has received in several years.
Now he followed the young master and saw the customs of the foreign people.
He understood that this was all brought by the young master, and he also knew that his family's future depended on the young master.
This time the young master asked him to lead people to inquire about the information, which was because he initially trusted himself.
This time he must do it properly and let the young master see his own methods.
Tang Xianwen asked someone to take money to ask beggars on the street, and he took someone to a famous restaurant in Macau.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter came forward to greet the guests.
"You two, please come downstairs.
I don't know how many more people there are."
The waiter asked with a smile on his face.
"You two, I say, serve six of your specialty dishes, three cold and three hot, and two pots of the best wine."
Tang Xianwen shook his head and acted stupidly like a second-generation ancestor, with just the words "We don't" written on his face.
Short of money.
"You two, please come in, our restaurant..."
The waiter was eloquent and kept talking about the names of the dishes.
There were already two banquet tables in the hall.
Tang Xianwen sat down at an empty table, stretched out his robe sleeves, and shouted impatiently, "Pick the six most expensive ones, don't be wordy."
He looked like I have money, but you kill me. ah.
The guy snickered in his heart, waiting for your words.
"Okay, sir, please come on."
The waiter went to the kitchen to announce the dishes.
Tang Xianwen listened carefully to the chatter and laughter of the guests at the other two tables.
After a moment, Tang Xianwen heard that one table was also a foreign maritime businessman.
He had handed over the porcelain and raw silk here and planned to return it after eating.
Several people at the nearby table were The local businessmen of the Ming Dynasty usually have many contacts and gathered together before the Spring Festival.
One of the middle-aged fat men drank until his face turned red, and the other two thin men drank too much.
The fat man kept talking.
At noon during the Spring Festival this year, in the council hall, the Governor of Franji, the Speaker, and the councilors hosted a banquet for Franji merchants.
Daming Ming Dynasty Businessmen also receive invitations, so how can they save face?
When Tang Xianwen heard this, his heart moved.
He shook his sleeves and stood up with a smile.
He came to the next table and bowed, "Brothers, my younger brother Tang Xian is from Songjiang Mansion.
I heard several people talking about the Governor and Speaker. , I don’t know who the official is.
Could you please give me some advice?”
The middle-aged fat man glanced sideways at Tang Xianwen, feeling disdainful.

Looking at his attire, he knew that he was another country bumpkin from the mainland, "Little brother, Governor Franji is the general manager of Macau appointed by Emperor Franji, and the speaker is the Macau Council.
Speaker of the House of Representatives in Australia "Sure, as long as we pay taxes to the Franji people and become Catholics, we won't have to pay taxes and serve the big guys in Xiangshan County.
Governor Franji will be the local emperor of Macau," the middle-aged fat man said while picking his teeth.
To popularize science among country bumpkin from Ming Dynasty.
"I, Luo, am one of the best among the local Ming merchants in Macau.
How can it be that Governor Franji condescended to send me an invitation now, haha."
Fatty Luo had a look on his face that said nothing could stop him. , the fat on his face was trembling with joy, making people worried about him just looking at him.
The other two thin men cooperated very well, and it was not easy to find out how the invitation from Franji was obtained.
Tang Xianwen smiled even more: "As soon as I arrived in Macau, I met three brothers.
It's a great fate.
I'm going to be my host today, so I'd like to ask these three brothers to show their respect to me."
Fatty Luo suddenly laughed, "What a shame, brother, it's a waste of money."
The fat on his face trembled even more.
Fatty Luo originally paid for this banquet out of his own pocket to show his face, but now that such a scumbag is showing up as a host, why wouldn't Fatty Luo do it?
For a while, cups came and went, and several people drank in a lively manner.
"Brother, I plan to stay in Macau in the future.
I wonder if I can bring my brother to meet the Governor during the Spring Festival.
After all, it is difficult to do business in Macao without Governor Franji to look after me."
Tang Xianwen saw Fatty Luo hesitate for a moment, He immediately added, "Brother, as long as I can see the governor, I will accept the gift of a thousand taels afterwards, and I will also give the governor a thousand taels of gifts."
Fatty Luo's eyes widened, "Good guy, what a big deal, one thousand taels of silver, which is as much as half a month's profit from his own shop."
Fatty Luo told himself that this kid planned to stay in Macau permanently, but if he didn't establish good relations with the local government, everything would be in trouble.
This was a common occurrence in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
"Easy to say, easy to say, but," Fatty Luo blushed for a rare moment.
Heck, I'm not familiar with them either.
"Brother, I'm just an introduction.
Ahem, I've never met the Governor.
Ahem, I've met the Speaker a few times.
Ahem, I'm not familiar with him."
Tang Xianwen responded with a smile: "It would be great if Brother can introduce me.
Without Brother, we would not be able to meet Mr.
Franji.
This is Brother Luo's contribution."
"Haha," Fatty Luo said, the more he looked at Tang Xianwen, the more he liked him.
He was really a money-giving boy.
"Brother, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by my brother."
The banquet ended happily and everyone left their addresses.

His family has many children and is very poor.
He was illiterate and grew up playing in the water.
From then on, he became a subordinate of the second son.
After practicing martial arts and learning more than a thousand characters, Qi Wei understood that the future of literacy was different after all.

His father and mother often smile from ear to ear.
Qi Wei understands the reason for the changes in the family.

This time, Qi Wei led the people to travel around for a day, measured Macao with their feet, and then returned to the dock late at night, tired and with his heart in mind.
After dinner in the evening, Zhao Lie gathered a group of people and went to the Fuhai cabin.
Tang Xianwen and Qi Wei introduced the situation in Macau one by one.
There are more than a thousand Portuguese in Macau, including businessmen, employees, dental workers, servants, There are more than 300 soldiers in total.
There are currently two built forts in Macau, namely the Central Fort, where the Portuguese army and the Governor's Office are located, the Mazu Pavilion Fort, which is smaller, and the Dongwangyang Fort, which is still under construction. .
"Sir, I have agreed with the businessman surnamed Luo to go to the meeting hall to meet the governor together on the Spring Festival."
Tang Xianwen discussed all the discussions with Luo Changshan in the afternoon.
"Sir, the matter happened in a hurry, and my subordinates boldly decided to do this.
I hope you will forgive me."
"Very good.
Tang Xianwen made a decisive decision at the opportunity and made a miraculous achievement.
I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver."
Zhao Lie did not hesitate to reward Tang Xianwen and made a prompt decision.
This is what Zhao Lie hopes.
In the future, everyone will take matters into their own hands, and it is necessary to make decisions on the spot.
If you can see the governor this time, you can use a variety of methods.
"Thank you for the reward, sir."
Tang Xianwen responded loudly, glanced at Qi Wei, and looked slightly satisfied.
"Sir, I personally went to the fort once.
The gate of the camp was tightly guarded.
Six people were on duty, rotating every two hours.
They are much stronger than the soldiers of the Ming Guard."
Qi Wei replied, and attached a simple map.
One copy shows the simple streets and alleys, and you can see that they have been carefully crafted.
"Okay, I'll be careful and explore every detail.
I'll be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
Zhao Lie was very satisfied after reading it and continued to give out rewards.
"Thank you, sir."
Qi Wei responded loudly.
"You and I have strengths and weaknesses, so you should help each other and don't miss the main business."
Zhao Lie likes to see competition among his subordinates, but he can't undermine each other at critical times.
"As you command."
Everyone agreed in unison.
The two people immediately shrank their necks, realizing that the adult had hit them.
Next, everyone planned together how to act.
Everyone fought for each other, attacked and defended each other, and borrowed each other's strengths.
By late at night, they agreed and dispersed. s recommends collecting hate less, please
