Chapter 338 Journey, the sea of ??stars

Emperor Longqing issued a grace decree and appointed Tina, the daughter of Utrecht, as the monarch of Daming County. She also rewarded her with twenty pieces of good Shu brocade.

Tina, wearing county lord uniforms, met many wealthy businessmen in the capital under the recommendation of officials from the Ministry of Revenue. She traveled the Hui Chamber of Commerce Hall, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall, and the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce Hall, and negotiated trade with the merchants widely.

Five days later, Tina was about to take a sea boat and head south to Hangzhou. Bai Xiaoyan wrote letters to the shopkeepers of more than a dozen Jiangnan business banks in her hand, asking them to cooperate with Tina.

There is no banquet that will last forever in the world.

Tina is about to leave the capital. In the He Mansion, Bai Xiaoyan and Tina Yiyi farewell: "Sister Tina, you must come to see me again!"

Tina hugged Bai Xiaoyan: "I will definitely come again. I will go to Hangzhou first, buy six ships of silk and tea, and then go back to Europa. Then go to Latin America, and cross the Pacific Ocean to the Ming Dynasty. You will see me again in about a year and a half."

He Liu brought fifty Jinyi Guards and personally escorted Tina to Tianjin Acropolis.

On the beach of Tanggu, He Liu bowed to Tina: "Lord Tina, the vast sea is long. You must take care of yourself. I wish you a good journey."

Tina pointed at the direction of the sea with her finger: "Thank you, General. The sea is my destiny and my journey. There are unknown things waiting for me to appear, and a new world waiting for me to explore. I believe that God will bless me with peace in the voyage."

Tina got on the merchant ship. He Liu watched the six merchant ships set sail and disappeared into the vast sea.

Saw Tina away, He Liu rushed back to the capital.

When he entered the capital, it was already dusk. He Liu returned to his mansion and saw that He Er, 6 Si, Han Wu, Xu Qi, Wu Ba and other elder brothers of Jinyiwei were sitting in the hall.

Bai Xiaoyan diligently directed the servants to serve fruits and pastries, and was very busy.

When He Liu entered the door, everyone bowed and said in unison: "Brother Six!"

He Liu asked: "Why are you all here?"

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Zhu Xixiao repeatedly suppressed the old brothers of the Jinyiwei. I think our old brothers must not be very happy recently. As my sister-in-law, I will invite them to have a big drink tonight so that they can drink to relieve their sorrows."

He Er said: "Sixth Sister-in-law is talking about. Brother Zhu Xixiao is so arrogant! Not only did we withdraw our Taibao position, we also placed his people on a large scale. Two of the new four major households are his people."

Xu Qi continued, "Damn it, let alone the traitor Li Bofeng. Brother Six, do you know where Cui Guangzhi, the new Qianhu, came from in Beisi?"

He Liu asked: "Where is the way?"

Xu Qi gave Cui Guangzhi's details to everyone.

Cui Guangzhi's father was originally the gatekeeper of the Ministry of Personnel's Office. Cui Guangzhi was ignorant. When he became an adult, he entered the Five City Military and Masjids Office with his own light. He was a 8th rank official in the lobby of the Nancheng Military and Masjids Office.

This person is stingy and always likes to take advantage of small gains. In the lobby of the Nancheng Military Affairs Office, there are often three legal officials, and officials from Shuntian Prefecture come to work. Therefore, the lobby has to buy some tea every month to entertain officials coming and going.

The highest official of the Nancheng Military and Ma Si is the commander of the sixth rank. There are four deputy commanders of the seventh rank, and the following is Cui Guangzhi, the official official. In the small Nancheng Military and Ma Si, he is considered an official, with dozens of soldiers under his command.

But it is this "official" who likes to take advantage of the yamen in everything. Every time he buys tea in the lobby, he will take care of it and secretly get a few kilograms home.

After the commander of the Nancheng Military Commander learned about this, he was angry and funny. He thought to himself: Such a stingy person is unbearable. Even a few kilograms of tea must go home secretly, which is really a disgrace to Guanzhen.

So, the commander opened Cui Guangzhi's fault. Cui Guangzhi lost his official position, but instead worked from time to time. Somehow, he took up Zhu Xixiao, the concubine's son of Youchunfang. After a while, he was foolish and had done several things for Zhu Xixiao.

When the emperor ascended the throne, it turned out that the people from the Youchunfang of Prince Yu's mansion followed the chickens and dogs to heaven. Cui Guangzhi was attracted by Prince Yu's glory and was actually arranged by Zhu Xixiao to become one of the four thousand households!

After Fatty Xu talked about Cui Guangzhi's details, everyone burst into laughter.

"Haha, the eighth-rank official, secretly went home to follow the tea in the lobby? Can such a person have a big fortune?"

"Ha, damn! Such a thing is worthy of being on our brothers' heads to make a thousand households?"

"Ha, if we want to curry favor with him in the future, we will give him more tea!"

He Liu said, "Don't be careless. What a smart person Zhu Xixiao is? He asked Cui Guangzhi to be a thousand households, and Cui Guangzhi must have something extraordinary that we don't know."

Xu Qi said: "Not to mention that little boy Li Bofeng. He was promoted by our sixth brother. But this bastard is forgiving his righteousness when he sees profit. He actually betrayed Brother Six and surrendered to Zhu Xixiao!"

He Liudao: "Actually, Li Bofeng is still very capable. He also assumed the important task of a thousand households. He saved my life on Proluo Island, the East China Sea. However, this person is too ambitious, very much like the Duke Liu from the East Factory."

Li Zipian said: "When it comes to Liu Da, the East Factory has been very peaceful recently! I haven't been looking for trouble with our Jinyiwei for a long time. Could that castrator have learned from Brother Qi, changed to vegetarianism, and converted to Buddha?"

Fatty Xu said, "Amitabha! He is a despicable and vicious castrated man, even if he burns ten thousand incense sticks for the Buddha, the Buddha will not bless him!"

He Er said: "Will he dare to find trouble with our Jinyiwei? Don't forget that the Sixth Brother is still the Northern Punishment of our Jinyiwei! Outside Chengtian Gate, the Sixth Brother killed dozens of people from the East Factory at the order! In the 45th year of Jiajing, the censors carried the corpse and advised him. The beasts in the East Factory attacked the censors. The Sixth Brother pulled out the embroidered sword and straddled it to Liu Da's neck. I guess that there are still scars left by the Sixth Brother on his neck until now."

Lao Hu said on the side: "Don't take it lightly. Since ancient times, dogs that bite people do not bark! I used to be Liu Da's guide. I know better than anyone else what Liu Da is."

Bai Xiaoyan walked into the hall: "Brothers, the wine and food are ready. Don't talk in the hall. Go to the dining room, and you can drink and chat."

After entering the dining room, the brothers sat down. Xiangxiang led his younger brother Zhonger to jump into the dining room.

Fatty Xu joked: "Xiangxiang's eldest niece, I heard that you are thinking about your future marriage every day? Which family do you want to fall in love with? Tell me his name to me! Fatty Uncle will definitely help you find out the details of his ancestors for eight generations, drink a few bowls of water and sprinkle a few pees every day! My fat Uncle, I will eat this bowl of rice."

Xiangxiang gave Fatty Xu a white look: "Uncle Fatty, you are only thinking about getting married every day! I am only twelve years old, so don't worry!"

Zhong'er said with tears in her eyes: "Yeah, I won't let my sister get married! I want my sister to play with me every day."...",.
