    Fang Wenjing arrived at Pier C as usual, and after handing over to others, he started boring work.

    These days, all the people coming in and out of here are small merchant ships, mostly from nearby ports, and he is only responsible for guiding them.

    So, the work is quite easy.

    But at noon, his companion Fang Laoliu suddenly shouted: "Wen Jing, Wen Jing, look quickly, look quickly."

    Fang Wenjing was startled, and subconsciously took out the telescope hanging around his neck and looked up.

    Then I saw on the sea, what was slowly entering the harbor was one no, it was many large ships.

    The scale of this large ship is much larger than the large ships that I usually lead. The huge hull pushes through the water waves, and in the telescope, it looks like a big mountain, coming slowly.

    Fortunately he saw the flag on the ship and felt relieved.

    This is the Ming Dynasty's ship, of courseit's not just a flag.

    The structure of this hull is also somewhat similar to that of the Ming Dynasty's ships.

    So, he hurriedly said: "Guide them to this pier, but the hull is too wide, I will guide them."

    Fang Wenjing is still very experienced.

    With great difficulty, we managed to maneuver the ship closer to the dock.

    This is a natural harbor with sufficient water depth and almost no reefs, which is enough for large ships to berth.

    Immediately afterwards, someone got off the boat.

    Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan came down first.

    As soon as he landed at the pier, Zhu Houzhao said: "Come, come, prepare to erect a monument. Here it should be written: Wen Cheng Wude Emperor, Zhu Houzhao is here!"

    Liu Jin held a piece of bamboo and took notes with a charcoal pen.

    Fang Jifan was quite excited.

    He has become accustomed to treating Zhu Houzhao as nothing.

    When the Scum of the World King Bushi entered the harbor, Fang Jifan looked at the harbor from a distance and found that the scale here was much larger than he had imagined. There were more than a hundred ships of various sizes in the harbor, mostly merchant ships.  , which also shows the prosperity here.

    Fang Wenjing trotted over and saluted, "I don't know how to respect you"

    Fang Jifan said: "I'm blind. This is the emperor. I am Fang Jifan, the Duke of Zhengguo. Didn't you see the flag? But you still come to ask more questions. That is to say, my temper has improved recently. I have been eating meat and chanting Buddha's name. If it were the same as before.  , I can¡¯t beat you to death.¡±

    When Fang Wenjing heard this, he was immediately stunned. He glanced at Zhu Houzhao first, then trembled with fear, and quickly bowed down: "I have seen your majesty."

    Turning to look at Fang Jifan, he was even more surprised. He said cautiously: "I've met I've met my uncle."

    At this time, Zhu Houzhao turned around and looked at Fang Jifan with a strange look.

    Fang Jifan was also stunned.

    ¡°It¡¯s true that all kinds of shit come here to get relatives.

    Fang Wenjing said hurriedly: "Uncle, I am the Fang family of Nanzong. My name is Fang Wenjing. In terms of seniority"

    "Okay, okay, I understand, the emperor is here, why are you talking about this?"

    Fang Jifan waved his hand impatiently, looked at Fang Wenjing up and down, and said to himself that I, Fang Jifan, am the only one with upright views and an upright man who can barely recognize you as a relative. If not, do you deserve the surname Fang?

    Zhu Houzhao said: "You lead the way. I am very easy-going. There is no need for people to pick me up with great fanfare. Let's enter the city first. This place is called New Qingdao. I don't know why?"

    Fang Wenjing felt that his uncle was here, and he suddenly felt a little straighter. Thinking that his uncle was here, for the sake of being a family five hundred years ago, even if he said something wrong, he would definitely correct it.

    ¡°My uncle is a good man,¡± the elders in the clan branches all over the place say.

    He then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the seat of the feudal state of Qilu, so they all named it after the prefectures and counties of the Shandong Chief Envoy. In this way, the immigrants felt friendly and felt like they had returned to their hometown.  generally."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "The climate here is very pleasant, are there any thieves here?"

    Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao's face was full of expectation.

    Fang Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In the beginning, there were some. In the past, there were many natives who attacked our people who were opening up wasteland. The old prince and General Zhengqing raided it several times, and gradually things became peaceful. Before that, the Spanish  The people were in serious trouble, but now, they were becoming less and less popular. The old prince seized several of their cities and expanded hundreds of miles of land, but outside of Qilu, there were quite a few horse thieves and locals.  There are also a lot of people, those Spanish thieves, and it is often said that they will seek wealth and kill people.  Things are different here in Qilu. Not only is General Zhengqing diligent in suppressing bandits, but the most important thing is there are so many people here. Our Fang family alone has one hundred thousand households and hundreds of thousands of people. Every year  The newly added Ding has tens of thousands of people.  There are also other immigrants and criminals. There are millions of them up and down. If you put them in this Golden Continent, it would be great. There are villages everywhere. In the villages, the men have blunderbuss, bows and arrows, and  There are horses that have been bred. As soon as a thief is discovered, a man from a village will mount a gun and mount the horse. Upon hearing the news, the nearby villages will also rush to protect each other. They are all members of the same family, and will protect them whether they come back or not.  "

    He then added: "Because of this, everyone says that Qilu is very safe and can live in peace, so many people who moved to Huangjin Continent came with their families and families."

    As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the southeast of the port: "That place is called Wangye Town. Your Majesty, don't you know? There are hundreds of clansmen and princes living there, and other clansmen live in Xinjiang.  There are also Linzi. These princes felt unsafe in their own fiefdoms, so they came here with a large group of their families to buy land and settle down. Their ostentation was very grand, and the imperial court distributed their salaries, as well as those in the fiefdoms.  All the income is spent here. There are tens of thousands of people supported by these hundreds of clansmen in New Qingdao alone. The best silk and the latest clothing materials are burned.  The best porcelain is sent there."

    Zhu Houzhao first heard that there were not many thieves here, and his energy suddenly dropped, and his mood sank directly. He seemed to feel that he hated the local natives for not living up to their expectations.

    But then I heard that my relatives were so unsatisfactory. When my father granted them a fiefdom, he was essentially hoping that these clansmen would be able to defend the new continent. But who would have thought that these dogs came to the Golden Continent and were still messing around?  It was fine to eat and wait to die and ignore the fiefdom. He actually came to someone else's fiefdom and became an apartment, and he was still intoxicated.

    Zhu Houzhao wanted to curse.

    Fang Jifan said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, in the long run, this will not be a blessing to the country. These fiefdoms, regardless of the clan members, will sooner or later be occupied by bandits and natives, which will cause disaster sooner or later in the future."

    Zhu Houzhao said: "Wait, I will go back and deal with them then."

    The group of people has crossed the trestle and entered the port.

    The officials at the Port Affairs Department noticed the big movement and had been waiting here for a long time.

    When they heard that the emperor was coming, everyone was shocked, and when they heard that their relative Fang Jifan was coming, they were all overjoyed.

    Speaking of which, except for the one surnamed Liu, everyone is related. Anyone named Fang here in Qilu has gradually developed a mentality that I am also the protagonist of Qilu. Anyone who brags must mention Fang Jifan. This has long been the case.  I forgot that they were stuffed into the boat like cans, and the whole family cried, or hid in the cabin and gnashed their teeth and cursed that piece of shit.

    Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I can walk around as I please, and you will step back later."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together off the Port Affairs Bureau, but how dare they neglect, they are so busy that they rush to report to the superior.

    Zhu Houzhao still asked Fang Wenjing to lead the way. He hated the large number of people around him and always felt uncomfortable. He only called seven or eight carriages and took Fang Jifan, Liu Jin, and dozens of retinues with him, eager to enter the city first.

    So Fang Wenjing led the way.

    After leaving the port, you will see a railway track.

    On the railway tracks, small steam cars are running, which are specially connected to transport goods in the city. There is no passenger transport.

    The land here is flat, so there are very few road repairs. Most people who come in and out use horse-drawn carriages.

    Along the way, there are houses one after another. Along the road, there are fenced yards, one after another. Some houses have signs hanging outside, most of which are grocery stores or doctors opening clinics.

    There is a lot of land here.

    It can even be said thata population of one million, in the Ming Dynasty, may only be the size of a state capital with fertile land.  However, in such a state capital, most of the land is often occupied by mountains and forests, and there are very few plains that can actually be used for habitat.

    But here, a million people occupy a land that is not only dozens of times that of the state capital, but also thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, and the land is neatly organized, just like the Fang family.

    It was also the first time for Fang Jifan to land here. He looked left and right, and his eyes were dazed. Although the mansions were messy and disorderly, and most of them were just wooden houses, and there were even some houses, it was obvious at a glance that the owner's family was not well off, but the people he lived in were  The conditions are far from comparable to those of the wealthy Jiangnan people
