Chapter 542 Can’t write two Zhu characters in one stroke!

Songjiang Prefecture, Municipal Shipping Department Wharf.

When Zhu Yunxi ordered the construction of the Shishi Shipping Department Wharf, he planned it according to the Millennium Plan.

Many facilities may not be able to meet the millennium plan, but the size of the dock, the warehouses on the shore, and the berths are definitely far beyond the current throughput of the Ming Dynasty, and they are extremely wealthy.

At first, everyone advised him to change it to a smaller size, thinking that such a big space was simply not needed.

However, no one expected that, just a few years after the opening of the port, nearly half of the berths had been used up, and the warehouses on the shore were even more fully used.

Fortunately, a lot of open space was reserved during the planning that year, and it can be expanded at any time as long as there is demand.

Otherwise, they really don’t know what to do when suddenly faced with such a large cargo throughput.

Lu Shiyuan, who was promoted by Shibosi, kept flattering Zhu Yunxi along the way, saying that he was forward-looking and had anticipated the grand occasion of Shibosi many years in advance.

When other officials heard this, they were even more flattering, praising Zhu Yunxi as the most far-sighted and sage king in history.

Zhu Yunxi listened to the flattery of the officials with a proud smile on his face.

He finally understood why there were so many stupid kings in ancient times. Whoever was held up and supported by others every day was so confused!

Zhu Yunxi still knew how much he was worth, and he would not get carried away just because of a few compliments from his subordinates. After inspecting the dock of the Municipal Shipping Company and seeing the cargo ships coming and going from north to south, he made some comments on the future work of the Municipal Shipping Company.

"The next focus is to focus on building the Great Ocean Rim Economic Circle. In this process, your shipping company plays an important role."

"Our Ming Dynasty's cotton, silk, tea and other goods must be transported out through the Shipping Department. Silver and goods from Japan, Ryukyu, Vietnam and other places must also be transported to the mainland through the Shipping Department to feed back the industry of our Ming Dynasty."

"In addition, we must establish and improve corresponding laws and regulations. We have seen many people from foreign vassals wandering on the streets along the way. Our Ming government has the obligation and responsibility to protect the lives and property of foreign merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time we must also treat them accordingly.

Restrain them from violating laws and disciplines..."

“Applying both kindness and power is the long-term solution!”

When Lu Shiyuan heard this, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"I understand, I will draft a document with the Songjiang prefect when I get back..."

"By the way, Your Highness, there have been many lawsuits recently about the marriage between Ming people and foreign women. Our Ming law does not explicitly stipulate that marriage with foreign women is prohibited, but there are many disputes among the people. I hope the emperor's grandson will give it."

"Beigong will issue new laws recently. You can just follow the new laws and implement them."

Lu Shiyuan happily clapped his hands and praised after hearing this.

"It would be great if there is a law to follow, so as to avoid the dilemma between Wei Chen and Songjiang Magistrate, hehehehe..."

While the two were chatting and laughing, discussing the relevant legal details, several huge cargo ships sailed over on the sea.

As soon as Zhu Yunxi saw this huge hull, he knew that it was a No. A fortune ship built in the past two years and specially used for ocean freight.

This kind of ship is not only expensive to build, but it is also an official ship that is strictly controlled by the imperial court and prohibits private trading among private people.

However, what surprised him was that these A-name fortune ships did not hang any official signs on board, but instead hung a flaming skull and crossbones flag that should not appear in the Ming Dynasty.

This thing should have been active in the Mediterranean or the Red Sea, so it shouldn't have come to the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the ship they used was the Ming Dynasty's Fortune Ship!

"What's going on with these ships?"

When Lu Shiyuan heard this, his face turned pale on the spot, and he said tremblingly.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this ship... this ship is military..."

"I don't know, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

After all, Lu Shiyuan did not dare to tell the background of these ships, so he could only grit his teeth and kneel on the ground to apologize.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunxi already had some answers in his heart.

These ships should be military ships!

Is it just that the Ming Navy was so bold that it dared to openly become pirates?

"Someone is coming!"

"When these ships dock, arrest the people on them, and be sure to find out the masterminds behind them!"

"No matter who is involved in this matter, I will not let it go easily!"

"promise!"

Zhu Yunxi brought a lot of people with him on this trip, and they were elites drawn from the Jinyi Guards, Xingwu Guards, and the Jing Haijun New Army.

After Zhu Yunxi issued the order, Xu Liuzi rushed to lead the team, but was stopped by Zhu Yunxi.

"Xu Liuzi, stop!"

"Sun Zhengyu, take the people over there and be sure to capture everyone on the boat!"

"If someone commits suicide, jumps into the sea, or escapes midway, you are the only one to ask!"

"promise!"

Sun Zhengyu was a member of Qianhu, a new member of the Jinghaiwei Army. He had just graduated from the military academy a few months ago. He had no skills either in the Jinyiwei or in the naval base of Jinghaiwei, so he was best suited to do this kind of thing.

When Xu Liuzi saw Sun Zhengyu leading people away with an upright look on his face, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Your Highness, this matter..."

Zhu Yunxi became very angry when he saw Xu Liuzi's appearance, raised his foot and kicked him.

"You are so brave, you dare to misappropriate an official ship without telling me!"

"Your Highness, I don't dare to do this for you. This matter has nothing to do with me. I am just replacing..."

"Who does that have to do with?"

Hearing this, Xu Liuzi looked at the hundreds of officials on the left and right, and said with a troubled look on his face.

"Your Highness, please take a step to speak..."

"Need not!"

"Work alone and be upright, there is no need to avoid anyone!"

When Xu Liuzi saw that Zhu Yunxi was so deeply involved in the drama, he immediately chose to pretend to be dead like Lu Shiyuan.

"Since His Highness said this, then I accept this humiliation..."

"I am willing to accept the punishment for my humble position!"

When Zhu Yunxi saw Xu Liuzi's attitude of not being afraid of being scalded by boiling water, he felt a little frightened. Could this matter have something to do with the royal family?

"Ahem..."

"Don't worry, if it's found to be related to you, Gu Gu will never tolerate it!"

Aboard the No. A fortune ship, Li Da, a retired naval officer from Jinghaiwei, looked at the dock just around the corner, with a relieved smile finally showing on his face.

This journey was too dangerous, and I almost died in the sea several times.

Fortunately, the emperor's grandson protected them and allowed them to escape the storm and stumble all the way back to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Da waved to the people on the shore, and then issued a series of orders to the motley army behind him.

"You guys, we've arrived in Daming, hurry up and bring our goods up, and let the nobles on the shore see what we brought back this time!"

"okay!"

The motley crew from more than a dozen countries responded with a variety of unclear Ming words, and then opened the cabin door, pulled the sail, and dropped the anchor.

Although they have different skin colors, some are black, some are white, some are brown, and some are yellow. But they are methodical and well-organized, and they work even more enthusiastically, talking and laughing.

They were all affiliated with the Maritime Slave Capturing Team, a branch of the Jing Navy of the Ming Dynasty, specializing in capturing slaves in various countries and then trafficking them to the Ming Dynasty.

As the cabins were opened one by one, shackled black slaves and white slaves were brought out from the cabins one by one.

These slaves had never seen the sun along the way. When they were suddenly hit by the sun, each of them suddenly felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and their eyes hurt.

But they couldn't cover it with their hands, so they could only squint their eyes, avoiding the dazzling sunlight while coveting its warmth.

They are not very disgusted with their status as slaves, and they are even somewhat lucky.

Because it is widely spread throughout Europe that the Ming Dynasty is a place flowing with milk and honey, full of gold, and as peaceful and peaceful as heaven.

It was their fate that they were sold to the Ming Dynasty as slaves.

This kind of saying is not only spread in European countries, but many people on their ships also say that even the miscellaneous soldiers who guard them are not angry and scold them for their good fortune. As long as they survive until the Ming Dynasty, they can live a good life of eating and drinking.

.

They don't really believe that they can have good food and drink well, they just want to work without going hungry.

However, just as they enjoyed a moment of peace and secretly prayed that they could meet a kind owner to buy them, a group of people suddenly rushed up from the shore, fired two gunshots in the air, and ordered everyone to kneel down.
