Storms are always brewing invisibly. Just when the Beihai Governor-General and the Northwest Territories became the overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty, and the influx of immigrants aroused the vigilance of the United States. After setting off from Haizhou, the immigration ship "Fumin" sailed all the way to the ocean.

It docked at several ports including Xinxiamen Port in the Chenggong Islands, and finally arrived at Linhaipu Port in early April.

Like many people, although Rong Hong has been obsessed with Nanhua in the past few years and always pays attention to collecting news about Nanhua, this is the first time he has returned to Nanhua, no, it should be the Ming Dynasty.

Now they arrived at Linhai Bay of the Ming Empire.

Standing on the deck, when the port was getting closer and closer to him, Rong Hong felt a little confused. The trestle was as wide as a street, the towering steel crane, the train emitting smoke on the track... Finally, there was the rear of the harbor.

That prosperous coastal city.

skyscraper!

Several high-rise buildings with a height of more than 20 meters or even more than 30 meters always make people feel an unprecedented shock. Rong Hong originally thought that none of this would surprise him too much - these "miracles" of the industrial age,

When he was studying in the United States, he had seen it, and he himself had learned about it through various channels. He had also snooped through the pictorials of "Life Weekly" and had seen similar things. However, when Linhai Port

When it really appeared in front of him, Rong Hong's breath was held for a moment. The scene in front of him completely exceeded his imagination.

As for Li Jingfang and the more than 100 foreign students sent by Governor Li, they all looked at this city with dumbfounded eyes - this was a world beyond their understanding.

The large and small chimneys in the industrial area on one side of the harbor spew black smoke into the air. The steam from the steam locomotives on the trestle extending into the bay shrouds the trestle. The steam that permeates the pier is like clouds, and the tall tower cranes,

In this cloud and mist, like strength, cargo weighing dozens or even hundreds of tons was lifted out of the cabin.

In the clouds and mist, harsh whistles and whistles were heard one after another. Everything showed that this was a busy port. Linhai, in the Ming Dynasty's plan, was the most important city of the Ming Dynasty in Araucania, not only

As the capital of this region, it is also one of the Ming Dynasty's industrial centers on the Pacific coast. This is why this port is so busy.

"Linhai City alone is so prosperous, but I don't know what Nanhua is like?"

Li Jingfang couldn't help but have expectations in his heart, and most of the others were the same.

After completing the seven days of epidemic prevention and quarantine, as government-sponsored overseas students, Rong Hong and Li Jingfang certainly did not need to enter the immigrant education camp like new immigrants. Of course, they did not receive much preferential treatment - when they were in the isolation camp, they

Just like everyone else, I cut off my braids.

They had no other choice. When they came to Ming Dynasty, men had to cut their braids and women had to relax. This was mandatory.

Just like in the immigration education camp, they have to develop frequent bathing and a series of other corresponding living habits.

In order for them to maintain those good living and hygienic habits, corresponding corporal punishment is naturally inevitable. For Mr. Li and his party, they will certainly not experience this. After all, those living and hygienic habits have long been known to them.

Things that are commonplace.

In order to integrate into Damingli as much as possible, when they were in the isolation camp, they bought local clothes and dressed up like the locals.

After leaving the isolation station, the group embarked on the journey to Nanhua at Linhai Railway Station.

They are not unfamiliar with trains. After all, there are trains in the Qing Dynasty. They don't even squeeze into third-class seats like ordinary passengers. They don't even sit in second-class seats, but sleep directly in the soft sleeper compartment.

.

As soon as the train started, Li Xuexian took the initiative to approach Li Jingfang and said.

"My lord, would you like to go to an ordinary carriage and experience the life of the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Xuexian, who came from a landlord's family in Fuyang, northern Anhui Province, would always deliberately make friends with Mr. Li along the way. After all, he was the eldest son of the governor. After completing his studies and returning to China, his future would naturally be bright with his care.

"also!"

Seeing that Mr. Rong didn't respond, Li Jingfang's young mind naturally agreed. He walked a few more carriages from the soft sleeper carriage until he finally reached the second-class carriage and found a seat. They sat there and met the Qing people.

Just like the carriage, the seats here are made of wooden slats with backs to backs and facing each other. The seats are not comfortable and comfortable to sit on, and they are not very spacious.

The passengers in the carriage were both Chinese and foreigners. There was a foreigner sitting next to them. Although the smell on his body was very unpleasant, they had no choice but to endure it.

However, the smell of perfume emanating from the opposite side made Li Jingfang focus on the foreign girl opposite. This foreign girl had a neat appearance. She was wearing a green dress and shamelessly exposed her shoulders. Even if she looked down, she could see that

You can see the ravine on the chest.

"It's true, it's incredible!"

While slandering, Li Jingfang's eyes always fell on the girl involuntarily, which even caused the young girl to undergo some physical changes. Fortunately, he didn't notice these on the train and avoided the possibility of making a fool of himself.

Siluke

The girl, who was leaning on the small table with her elbows and her chin in her hands, had been reading a book and seemed to be reciting something. Li Jingfang, who was a little curious, took a peek and saw that in the girl's hand was a small palm-sized book with printed text on it.

They are all written in Song-style Chinese characters, corresponding to which are also written in foreign characters.

Li Jingfang, who grew up in the Governor's Palace, also learned foreign languages. Although he mainly studied English and French, he still knew that the books were in Spanish.

After observing carefully for a while, he realized that the girl seemed to be trying hard to learn Chinese.

"This foreign girl actually learns Chinese!"

The girl who was focused on studying did not notice Li Jingfang's surprise. Not to mention Li Jingfang, even Li Xuexian noticed this. When they looked at the eldest young master, both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.

"Master, look over there..."

A few seats away, a foreigner was chatting in stilted Chinese with the passengers opposite.

Foreigners are all speaking Chinese!

This discovery simply stunned Li Jingfang. Who would have thought that foreigners would take the initiative to learn Chinese? And these people seemed to be just ordinary people.

In fact, what’s the point of active learning?

What Li Jingfang doesn't know is that now in Ming Dynasty, whether you want to or not, you must learn to speak Chinese, otherwise, it is very likely that it will be difficult to move forward. Because everything is inseparable from Chinese characters, even the conductors in the railway company said

is also in Chinese.

"Master!"

Li Xuexian suddenly remembered something and took out his train ticket from his pocket. This was his train ticket to Nanhua City. The ticket was just a small cardboard ticket. It looked no different from the tickets in the Qing Dynasty.

How could there be any difference? The carriages in both places are the same and are products of the same factory.

"Look, what's printed on this?"

The ticket says "Linhai - South China East" and "Second Class Soft Sleeper Car". At the bottom is the date and a line of small print: Only available on the same day.

"There's not a word of Spanish on this!"

Not a single word in Spanish!

It wasn't on the ticket or on the carriage. Li Jing just remembered that he didn't see Spanish writing at the station. Even the employees at the station spoke Chinese. He even thought that there were many passers-by at the station.

They are all foreigners, no matter how they dress, but their expressions are the same - walking timidly.

They seem to be very uncomfortable. What is it that they are not accustomed to?

Of course it's because they can't speak Chinese anymore. In the Ming Dynasty, even if millions of people speak Spanish, no one is used to their bad habits - the environment forces them to learn to speak Chinese, otherwise, it will be difficult to move forward.
