Chapter 1357 New steps!
In this festive atmosphere, Wang Bai’s birthday party kicked off.
Although the actions of Zhang Nie, the governor of Fujian and Guangxi, caused a rippling ripples in the officialdom in Guangdong, with the news of Wu Shan as the Minister of Personnel, the entire situation in Guangdong quickly returned to peace.
Whether it was the governor of Fujian and Guangxi, Zhang Nie, or the inspector Huang Kun, they knew that they could not bring back any storms, and Zhang Nie left Guangzhou City in a mess the next day.
History has long proved that a relatively stable current situation is beneficial to social prosperity. The rapid recovery and stability of Guangdong's situation has led to the rapid development of Guangdong's regional economy.
The welfare of opening the sea is continuously being delivered to Guangdong. From top to bottom, almost everyone can benefit, making this Guangzhou city more prosperous.
After participating in Wang Bai's birthday party, Hu Niu stayed in Guangzhou for a few days.
She visited Huang Dafu and others for her brother, and at the same time, she reminiscent of the past with her good sisters she had known before, and then left Guangzhou City.
The successor of the Guangzhou prefect is Lei Changjiang, who is an unselfish official. The politics here is very clear and there is no unjust case that requires her to intervene.
She has been to Beijing City and Nanjing City, and she always feels that Guangzhou City is better, it looks more energetic, more inclusive, and more easily accepting new things.
Instead of taking a boat directly down the Pearl River, she went to Foshan to visit the United Steel Workshop and checked the production of iron products there, a major income-generating project of the United Business Group.
After seeing the production of iron products in Foshan, she took a boat down the West River. While in Xiangshan Port, she boarded a large black ship and led a joint fleet toward Luzon Island in a mighty manner.
This time the fleet was very strong in size. The center was a large black ship, with two three-masted gunships leading the way, and there were more than twenty sea ships of different sizes around.
Mu Ying led the Haidong people to drive a three-masted gunship, and Lin Dayan led the Qinghu Gang to drive another three-masted gunship, leading the formation with a double-pliers.
Not to mention encountering pirates or Japanese pirates, even if you encounter a Spanish fleet, you will not suffer any losses. This fleet can travel throughout the entire Nanyang area.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
With the sound of drums, the fleet headed towards Luzon in a fixed formation.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the navy has never been defeated. In the past, it has galloped across the oceans with an invincible posture. These are all wealth, which has enabled the Ming Dynasty to master a rich water battle formation.
Under Lin Yeran's promotion, the joint fleet also attached great importance to the formation drill, and changed the formation through drums and flags, which was enough to deal with all emergencies.
The fleet sailed on the clear sea surface, and under the water were a group of sea fish of different colors.
Although the fleet was ready to fight at any time, there were no accidents along the way, and there were no unsightly pirates or Japanese pirates who dared to fight the joint fleet, and they didn't even dare to show their faces in front of them.
On the way to Luzon Island, the sea seemed a little lively, and merchant ships could be seen from time to time.
Hu Niu was puzzled at first, but soon she knew what was going on.
To this day, the route from Xiangshan to Luzon has become the most important route, and the Ming merchant ships often travel between the two places.
The Ming Dynasty's goods were already ahead of the world, and the South China Sea, which lacked living materials, was undoubtedly a priceless existence. It is precisely this that the Ming Dynasty's goods were sought after by the people of South China Sea.
Especially the myth of getting rich with a poor businessman who exchanged an iron pot for a bag of spices has been heard, which has made many young people yearn for Nanyang and have devoted themselves to the gold rush in Nanyang.
Although the United Trading Company monopolizes the spice trade with Portugal, it has clear and clear price tags for spices.
No matter who it is, they are treated equally. After these young people took out spices, they did not need to worry about the sales of spices, which made many adventurous Ming rich people go to Southeast Asia to exchange for spices, thus making a big profit in the spice trade.
It was under the promotion of the joint business group that the Ming Dynasty became a middleman in the spice trade between the South China and the Portuguese, causing many Ming merchants to take goods to the South China Sea to exchange for spices or pearls and other goods.
"Miss, is that a dolphin?"
"Wow! It jumped up, it's a dolphin!"
...
The little rabbit was lying on the railing, looking fussy.
Hu Niu, wearing a bullfighting suit, stood in front of the guardrail, narrowed her eyes at the little white whale leaping high in the distance, but corrected helplessly: "The dolphin is not that big, it is a white whale!"
The little rabbit turned his head and looked at Hu Niu's serious look, nodded without understanding, thinking that his lady was so powerful and knew more than those old masters.
"Hu Niu, this trip is probably a bit unhappy!"
Wu Daoxing came to the deck and stood there, pretending to pinch his fingers.
Hu Niu turned her head and looked at Wu Daoxing, but her brows frowned deeper. In fact, since she boarded the ship, she felt a little uneasy.
But she seemed to be overly worried. The journey was very smooth, and the ship was driving on the calm sea all the time.
After several days of sailing, everyone finally saw a large green island, which was the famous Luzon Island. The fleet continued south along the western line of the island, and from time to time they saw the indigenous people running and cheering on the beach.
After another half a day, they finally saw a city.
The United Merchants Group is now entrenched in the northern part of Luzon, where ports and cities have been built, and relatively large-scale migration has been carried out, making it a paradise for overseas people of the Ming Dynasty.
The fleet landed at United Port and saw that a lot of cotton and peppers had been planted on the island, which was already an important cotton and pepper planting base for United Business Group.
As the joint business group built a city here, more and more people from Guangdong and Guangxi were willing to come here. Through the cooperation model and promised to give them property rights, they made their group of people from the Ming Dynasty become a big family in Luzon.
After seeing the farmland around the city, the first visitor was shocked. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have thought that this island would have such fertile fertile fields, with so many crops growing here.
After only staying for one day, Hu Niu chose to continue heading south and heading towards Cebu Island.
After so many years, the power of the joint business group has not only penetrated into the Visayas, but also extended to Mindanao, and its power has long been spread throughout the Philippine Islands.
Chen Zhixiao and Weng Huasong, the two most outstanding young generations of the joint business group, also followed Hu Niu to the south. They had already guessed that Hu Niu had an extraordinary move in this trip, which was to push the joint business group to a new level.
