The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty is the population and gold and silver production.
Daming needs people overseas, so there are constant recruits on the Yingzhou side, all of which go overseas.
And when those people went out, sometimes they came back with letters, saying that overseas was a paradise, a good place full of gold and silver, and they rushed to the ship of transport.
And gold and silver, since large-scale mining, the minerals on the side of Yingzhou have become Xia Yuanji's heart, but whoever dares to destroy it is the enemy of the household.
Every year, the sailor would determine the time to transport gold and silver after surveying the ocean currents and climate, but if there was a mistake, Xia Yuanji would spray the governor's mansion of the five armies into a girl.
Yes, he will spray the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he will definitely not spray Zheng He and Hong Bao, who are already dying.
Therefore, the sailor knows this route very well, and knows what currents and storms are in almost all seasons of the year, which ensures the safety of this short route.
Aside from transportation, the time it takes for the fleet to go back and forth is almost unchanged, and this is also an opportunity for those smuggling ships to take advantage of the loopholes to go to sea, otherwise their ships will be smashed to pieces by the guns of the Great Ming Mariners and become food for the fish in the sea.
"Waksa Bay ahead!"
Fang Xing walked out of the cabin, listening to these familiar words, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he landed in Wakasa Bay.
There are no waves on the sea, and there are more than ten fishing boats not far away, which are desperately running towards the inner lake.
Wakasa Bay is connected by a lake and the sea, so it is easy to get in and out.
"Login!"
A dock has been built on the left, but there is not a single ship on the pier.
"Xinghebo, the ship must have gone out to sea to patrol."
Hong Bao felt a little embarrassed, and was about to turn around to find out who was on duty, and then kicked to the bitter side.
Fang Xing ignored this, he was looking at the shore.
There were quite a few people on the shore, and they all knelt there.
The boat slowly approached the dock, and more than a dozen people knelt there, shouting, "Welcome to your lordship." ” "Da Ming is right."
Fang Xing praised.
The only person standing bowed down and said, "Xiaguan Xu Li has seen the adult, the grandfather Hong, and the master Fu." ” Zhu Gaoxu has been trapped in North Korea and cannot extricate himself, and he has been searching for women all day long, preparing to make the number of his fiefdom 10,000 today and 100,000 next year.
So Fang Xing walked at the forefront, and when he saw that those Yingzhou people were very honest, he asked, "Is this place still respectful?"
” Xu Li saw that Hong Bao and Fu Xian were already guessing when they were standing behind Fang Xing, and now seeing Fang Xing's casual questioning, he remembered the news from across the sea a few days ago, and asked, "But Xing Hebo?"
” Fang Xing bowed slightly, and Xu Li said excitedly: "Tell my uncle, the people here are now living and working in peace and contentment, and many people have migrated from the Central Plains, and they are gradually the same." ” "Demon God!"
Some of the people kneeling on the ground screamed, and then bowed their heads reverently.
Fang Xing frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
” Xu Li couldn't hide his excitement, "Uncle, these people all respect you like a god. ” Fang Xing covered his forehead and said, "Ben Bo......
That's it, go to Penglai. ” …… The city of Penglai has now been renovated, and the newly built city walls are strong and tall, and they have been enlarged so much that there is no longer a need for fences around the city.
Moreover, in recent years, the political envoy has mobilized a lot of people to repair the road, and today's traffic is not the same as before, and Penglai, where the political envoy is located, is naturally becoming more and more prosperous.
Since the establishment of the Political Envoy Department, the psychology of the people of Yingzhou has probably gone through two stages.
The first stage is fear, fear of the strong, so obedience.
After half a year, the old order was broken, the original deep-rooted class was overturned, and those people were pleasantly surprised to find that they had become the first class of people in Yingzhou.
Most of the original nobles and samurai are finished, and as long as you pay the taxes on time and are much less than the original ones, then you are a good citizen, and you don't have to worry about your own life.
The days are getting better, the consumption power is also going up, and Penglai City is becoming more and more prosperous.
"Prosperity has always been the bane of Qiangliang, and the people Li Shen explained have no foundation, so what are you Jinyiwei going to do?"
Xin Chao stood outside Penglai City, looked at the dense flow of people at the city gate, and said: "Uncle, some wall grasses gave up resistance at the last moment, but after all, it was a big trouble.
And their family has a lot of reputation in Yingzhou, and the reputation of this thing is ......"
"It's not loyal to the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, so what's the use?"
Fang Xing said coldly.
Xin Chao bowed and said, "The subordinate officer receives the order." ” Fang Xing nodded and said: "At present, Yingzhou seems to be in a good situation, but there are a lot of insects, these insects are hiding in the soil, our trip is to dig them out and trample them to death!"
” Xin Chao said: "Uncle, please rest assured, Jinyiwei here in Yingzhou has been in business for many years, and has put a lot of eyeliner, as long as you give an order, you can do it at any time." ” Fang Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Jinyiwei is very good, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future." ” Xin Chao smiled bitterly: "Last time, Xia Guan encountered an emergency on the way back to Beijing, and showed the sign of Jinyiwei, and a boatload of literati were scolding lackeys and butchers.
Xia Guan was in high spirits at that time, but he was splashed with this basin of cold water at once, and he really wanted to pull out his sword and slaughter those rotten Confucians. ” "Jinyiwei is the knife in the hands of the emperor, and it is also the sharpest knife in the Ming Dynasty, and the current trend is not on their side, so naturally they have to ridicule it, but it is just a dog barking."
The situation of literati in charge makes people feel a headache, they like to praise and disparage current affairs, it doesn't matter, but they don't have that knowledge, even the keyboard warriors of later generations can't compare, and they have to point out the country, and there is nothing more wrong about people and countries.
The walls could already be seen, and the trumpets sounded on the walls.
In the telescope, there was no chaos in the city, and soldiers were constantly swarming up.

Below, the gates began to close decisively, and the people who wanted to rush into the city were beaten, and under the threat of rows of spears, they quickly ran to both sides.
Fang Xing reined in his horse, and there was a neighing of horses behind him, and an army of a thousand households began to dismount.
A bad aura began to permeate, Xin Chao saw that his heart was excited, and he shouted: "Uncle, the next official is willing to sign up." ” When you are unknown, 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 arrow, and don't blame yourself for your bad life.
Firearms were scarce, but there was no shortage of ancient long-range weapons such as bed crossbows, and a single bolt was enough to skewer a squad of sergeants.
Fang Xing nodded slightly, and Xin Chao said happily: "Uncle, don't worry, you will definitely not weaken your reputation." ” He beat his horse and left, Wu Yue said disdainfully: "Uncle's name is not something that anyone can be weak, who dares in Yingzhou, the lower official will lead someone to destroy his family!"
” Fang Xing looked at the city and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, I miss it a little." ” …… At the top of the city, the sergeants were struggling to turn the winch, and in the midst of a scalp-numbing creaking, one of the sergeants shouted: "Crossbow arrows!
” A huge crossbow bolt two meters long was placed in the arrow trough.
The arrow was sharp, aiming at Xin Chao who was galloping.
The general at the head of the city saw that Xin Chao was coming alone, so he put down his binoculars and said: "It should have just landed on the shore, but there is no warning signal in Yingzhou, and now is not the time to rotate the garrison, who are they?"
” "My lord, it can't be our business, right?"
The general glared at the people around him and scolded: "It's just a matter of getting some benefits, if you want to take us down, you only need a will, how can you use such fanfare, isn't it enough to think that Yingzhou is messy!"
” That being said, the generals were also a little worried.
For the garrison, this is overseas, and the overseas garrison is naturally full of complaints.
In order to boost morale, the army turned a blind eye to some small actions of the soldiers, even if they reported to the military department and the governor's mansion, they were also in the sea.
The general cheered up and said: "I want the cattle to plough the land and the cows to milk, but the cattle are not allowed to eat some tender grass, and there is no such rule in any dynasty or generation."
Rest assured. ” "Cow milking?"
Several officers around him couldn't help laughing, and then Xin Chao had already arrived, and someone asked loudly, "Where did you come from?"
” Xin Chao raised his head and shouted loudly: "Xing Hebo is in the back, open the door!"
” The city fell silent all of a sudden.
