Today's Tamsui City is like the sky and the earth when it was first built.
Tens of thousands of people have worked hard for more than two years, countless resources have been input continuously, and the fleets from all over the world have poured in a lot of money. Although so far, Tamsui City's taxes have not been able to cover the expenditure, but according to this
Judging from the current situation, the future of Tamsui City may not be less than that of a high-class state capital in the Ming Dynasty. You must know that not all of the high-class state capitals in the Ming Dynasty are all merchant ships.
There are so many people here that every day, countless ships that don’t even know where they come from come to this place.
Tamsui has now become an important transit port between the Ming Dynasty and overseas.
Perhaps, in terms of scale, Tamsui City is not as good as Quanzhou or Guangzhou. In terms of prosperity, it is not as good as Mingzhou or Yangzhou. However, in terms of popularity, Tamsui City can be said without reservation that it is not as good as these Ming Dynasty cities.
The old ports are in poor condition.
The Sihai fleet has its own fixed berthing area here, and no other merchant ships will rashly seize this area. Therefore, when the ships of the Wu family entered the port along with the three "escorting" navy warships,
At that time, although I lamented the hustle and bustle on the shore and the forest of masts in the port, I easily found a route and sailed into the port.
Even the three navy warships also got a little glory. If the identities of the Wu sisters were not too precious and Wu Huchen's guarantee for the navy ships behind them, even the navy's warships would have been able to do so easily.
Entering the port is not an easy task. Of course, what's more important is that Mu Siniang is also on the boat. Who rushes to pull his boss's boat? Are you tired of it?
Qian Wubing didn't know when Wang Yue and Wu Huchen's ship would arrive, so naturally he wouldn't wait here every day. Now he had too many things to do, especially many of which he might not be aware of yet.
He has his own subordinates who have done a good job, but only after his personal approval can the subordinates dare to work hard. These days, Qian Wubing has finally understood what the words "stand alone" mean.
.
However, out of respect for Wang Yue, Qian Wubing still let him go on the dock. So Wang Yue's boat went to the Xuanfu Envoy Office, and the news was immediately received, and Qian Wubing dropped what he was doing.
Came out immediately to greet him.
"Uncle, okay!"
The pot-bellied Wang Yue was among them, the imposing Wu Huchen stood on the left side, and Wu Yanran stood on his right side with a smile on her face, holding her sleeping child, and Qian Wubing greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Not bad, not bad!" Wang Yue looked around and commented: "This fresh water is much stronger than I imagined, and it looks prosperous!"
Qian Wubing said a few hehes and was relieved, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Wu Yanran.
"Don't look at your wife. When we get to Tianjin, your wife has to catch a smooth sailing. That little girl named Mu of yours has too many good hands. If I don't agree, she will have to tear me apart."
Damn it!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "Where is Qian'er, why didn't you see anyone? These days, you kid, have you ever been careful? The incense of my Wang family is pointed at you and Qian'er!"
Qian Wubing felt that he had some power now. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but blush slightly. You can say this at home, but on this dock, with so many of his subordinates looking at him, he called himself
How to answer, pay attention to your wife?
"Hahahaha!" Wang Yue laughed when he saw Qian Wubing's embarrassment: "That evil girl still has something to do, so don't worry about her for now!"
Several sedans were carried over and stopped in front of everyone. Qian Wubing extended his hand to invite everyone to get on the sedan: "Uncle, Yanran, it's been a hard journey, so we'd better get on the sedan first and then talk about it when we get home!"
"Why don't you take a walk?" Wang Yue looked around and asked with a smile.
"The days are going to be long in the future. Uncle, there is no need to rush. Tomorrow, Wuyi will make a special trip to accompany uncle to look around. However, I still listen to Wuyi today. First, I have to let Wuyi invite uncle back home.
Wash off the dust!”
"Haha, okay, it's up to you, it's up to you!" Wang Yue laughed and got on the sedan, "Yes, the days are long!"
Seeing Qian Wubing and his party getting on the sedan, getting on the horse, and leaving from the dock, on the warship not far away, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and muttered: "Why don't people come to greet me?
"
"General, you told Mu Zhenfu not to tell Commander Qian!" Someone beside him reminded him softly: "This is the territory of the Li Xuanwei Envoy. It is perfectly normal to not care about the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. The general will not show it.
In terms of status, Commander Qian probably only thinks of us as ordinary navy soldiers!"
"That's right!" Zhu Houzhao pondered for a while, "The navy of the imperial court may be a bit more impressive in other places, but here in Tamsui, I'm afraid it won't be so prestigious. We rely on help from others to fight the war. Even this new ship has changed its tactics.
How can you be so stubborn when you pluck it from someone else's hand?"
"Will the general disembark now?"
"Get off, why not!" Zhu Houzhao looked at the lively scene on the shore and was a little excited. "Let Mu Siniang come over. General Zhu wants to go ashore for a private visit. How can he do it without a guide! Find me some soldiers to serve him.
Come on, forget it, wait until Mu Siniang comes and ask her to get me a set of Jinyiwei clothes. I, General, can also be a Jinyiwei today!"
At the same time, Qian Wubing, who was guarding the sedan on horseback, was asking Wu Huchen in a low voice: "Where is Mu Zhenfu, why don't you see her!"
"Brother-in-law, Mu Zhenfu didn't come back alone. She brought a hundred and ten people with her. If these people are not properly settled, don't worry, brother-in-law!"
"Bring them all back?" Qian Wubing was slightly startled, and then he understood who Wu Huchen was talking about, No. 100, "That's good, I need to use people just when, these people come at the right time!"
"Who came just in time?" The curtain of the sedan next to her opened, Wu Yanran glanced at her husband on the horse with a charming look, and asked with a smile: "I thought my husband was too happy to be here, and he had forgotten about us.
It’s over!”
"Of course Yanran, you came just in time!" Qian Wubing laughed, "Yesterday I was still nagging Qian'er. Now here, the family is not a family and the house is not a house. Even if she buys some things, she is a little embarrassed.
If you don’t take action, if you do this, doesn’t she have a backbone?”
"Are you expecting me to be your housekeeper, or do you want to put the stone lion in front of the mansion to scare people?"
Haha! Even Wu Huchen couldn't help but laugh out loud now. It was obvious that his sister was in a very good mood. She didn't even wait to go home before teasing her brother-in-law. It seemed that her sister really missed her brother-in-law.
Very cruel.
When the group arrived at the door of the Xuanwei Ambassador's residence, Sun Qian and Su Su were already waiting at the door with everyone in the mansion, listening to the chorus of "Welcome the old man back to the house" and "Welcome the madam back to the house."
", Wang Yue and Wu Yanran, who got off the sedan, looked at each other and said in unison: "Finally home!"
