Chapter 1305 Return to Leizhou
Compared with the gloomy sky in Beijing, the south of Daming appears sunny and full of spring.
Under the blue sky, a few seagulls spread their wings and let out a few crisp calls. A huge ship sailed from east to west, leaving white ripples on the clear sea.
As Guangdong lifted its sea ban, more and more foreign ships came to Guangdong for trade. Seeing the huge profits from maritime trade, shrewd Ming merchants also formed fleets to trade in Southeast Asia.
Just like this, various merchant ships will appear from time to time in the waters of Guangdong, all of which are fully loaded with goods, showing a prosperous maritime trade atmosphere, especially on the route from Leizhou to Xiangshan.
The passenger ship sailing from Xiangshan entered a tiger's mouth-shaped bay. This bay seemed to be filled with hundreds of boats, as if it had entered a big world of ships. Ships were lining up to dock at the dock.
.
Leizhou Bay, which was little known in the past, has become the window to the outside world of the Ming Dynasty along with Xiangshan, attracting many merchant ships from all over the world.
Donghai Island and Naozhou Island are military restricted areas, and ships entering here must be subject to control. The passenger ship heads towards the bustling Leizhou Pier.
Unlike the cargo ships queuing up to load and unload cargo, passenger ships have their own resting points. This ship from Xiangshan slowly rests on the dock.
Leizhou and Xiangshan already have dedicated passenger lines, carrying passengers from Guangzhou to Leizhou. Every day, many people return from Xiangshan on passenger ships, and the docks are already waiting for horse-drawn carriages and the newly emerged bread carts.
With the rapid development of Leizhou's regional economy, with Leizhou cloth as the core, transportation, entertainment, catering, agricultural product processing and handicrafts have been greatly promoted, making the economy here seem to be flourishing, and Leizhou is also a vibrant place.
place.
After three or four days of sailing, and more than a year later, we finally saw Leizhou Pier again.
Huniu, who was wearing a light blue Confucian skirt, was staying in the VIP room on the top floor. She was standing in front of the window, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Leizhou Pier. Her beautiful big eyes looked at the place with novelty and excitement.
of everything.
Although she followed her brother to Guangzhou Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture, she always felt that Leizhou was the best because there were so many familiar people and things here.
Although the dock in front of you has been expanded to both sides, the biggest change is the fort on the hill.
This fort has been expanded, and it is now like a small city. The dark and shiny gun barrels are exposed on the city, like a fortress protecting the safety of the dock.
"Hu Niu, are you happy?"
Ali stood next to Huniu, looking down at the lively scene at the pier, especially the familiar seafood market, and her delicate face was filled with excitement.
"Of course I'm happy, aren't you happy?"
Huniu did not deny it. Her two black eyebrows were slightly raised, and she asked proudly.
Ali originally wanted to shake her head, but she looked at the men, women, and children bargaining at the seafood market with a knowing smile on her face.
Although this place cannot compare with the prosperity of Beijing and is not as wealthy as Guangzhou, it is full of vitality and enthusiasm.
The most important thing is that you can always eat a lot of delicious seafood here and the climate is familiar to her. She really likes it here.
"Miss, we can get off the boat!"
Xiaotu, wearing a green skirt, walked in. She finally returned to Leizhou from the capital, and she looked full of energy.
"Okay, let's get off the boat and go to Zhang Min's shop to eat flower crab porridge!" Huniu nodded seriously, swallowed, and walked down.
In this city, there is not only a house that belongs to her family, but there are also many familiar people in Leizhou City, and there are also many delicious foods and fun places that she is looking forward to.
The most important thing is that now she does not need to use her brother's banner, because she is already a seventh-grade Nanyang patrol minister, and she is looking for ancient books on monasticism under the emperor's order, so her waist can be straightened a lot.
When the group arrived at the pier, Fantan directly rented two carriages and led three good horses out of the cabin. These were all BMWs brought back from the capital.
"Who are these people from?"
Looking at the clothes of Huniu and her group, especially these three valuable BMWs, I immediately guessed that the people coming were either rich or noble.
With the rise of Leizhou City, especially the reputation of Leizhou female workers, many officials and young men came to visit, which is not a strange thing.
However, when they continued to observe carefully, they soon discovered something different, and even their jaws dropped.
"That's Huniu!"
"Which tiger girl?"
"What other tiger girl is Lin Lei's biological sister?"
…
There were porters, fishermen, ordinary people and businessmen here. As Huniu walked out of the crowd, someone thought they had revealed Huniu's identity.
As this identity was revealed, the pier that was in full swing just now suddenly became quiet. Many people wanted to catch a glimpse of Lin Lei's sister, while some old people knelt down to Huniu and said some words of gratitude.
drive!
Huniu got on her horse, raised her whip and slapped the horse's buttocks, then rode the tall red date horse along Zhenyang Avenue.
From Leizhou Pier to Leizhou City, both sides of Zhenyang Avenue are like markets. There are many houses around it, and it feels like walking on a bustling street.
Especially on this rare concrete avenue, the sound of horse hooves is particularly clear, making people quickly fall in love with the feeling of galloping.
"Miss, please slow down and wait for us!"
Little Rabbit watched Huniu riding away, so he quickly got into a carriage and prepared to let the coachman catch up.
It’s just that Huniu has already disappeared, and there is no trace of Huniu at all. They can’t even think of catching up.
Fortunately, Ali and Muying were not slow in their movements. They mounted their own horses and followed.
But when they caught up, it only took a moment before something really happened.
A beautiful girl seemed to be teased by an arrogant young man, so Huniu naturally stepped forward, and the two sides immediately got into a fight.
When Ali and Muying saw this scene, they took out their weapons and directly joined the battle group.
The incident took place just outside the New United Workshop. Fortunately, someone recognized Huniu's identity. A large group of guardsmen armed with tunnel guns ran out from inside, and their dark muzzles were pointed at the Young Master's side involuntarily.
"My father is Liu Xian, the chief military officer of Guangdong. How dare you?"
