Chapter 314 Muye
When Chen Mu saw Yang Zhaolong, the little governor in the southeast of Xinming Island was connected with his beard and temples. The longest beard on his chin was nearly an inch, the shortest one was exposed with green stubble, and his clothes were torn. He rushed up to the platform and pulled Chen Mu's sleeves and cried loudly.
The ministers of the East were so scared that they thought that the Australian natives had launched an army.
After asking clearly, Chen Mu let out a long sigh. The boy was distracted because he had been drifting on the sea for more than four months and was released after seeing him.
Mr. Chen, who took his brother-in-law back to the yamen, kept his fingers and calculated for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why Yang Zhaolong was able to float on the sea for four months.
"The northern route along the coast of Daming and then along the coast of Asia, and has not been sailing for more than three months in previous voyages. Why did you walk on the sea for four months or more?"
Chen Mu said, raised his hand and pointed to Yang Zhaolong's chin and said, "And this beard, did you stretch your chin out when you were sleeping in the lower cabin?"
"It's a long story. Brother-in-law, let's start from scratch, that bastard Li Hualong."
When Yang Zhaolong mentioned this name, he was angry. When he patted the tea case, he was shocked by the knife, the surface of the small square table, and other cleansing items such as the bullet surface were clattering. He also raised his hand to apologize to Chen Mu: "Brother-in-law, don't blame me for scolding him. I was the first person to enter Xinming, right?"
"I have been in Xinming for two years. The court sent Li Hualong here. Indeed, I didn't care about the strategy and management. I regarded that power as a place to have fun, but the land and pastures on the northern coast are all my credit."
"He is an official sent by the court. I really didn't think about seizing power from him or anything. I gave it to him and I would play around the island. Is it true that I am so kind?"
"I drove Xiao Yang again in the southeast. I originally wanted to drive a boat back to China and go to Beiyang to find you, but he came over and told me that the court asked me to be the little governor of the southeast. Just do it. In the end, the environment in the southeast is not bad, and I can farm, raise horses, and there are good ports."
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows: "You have circled Xinming? There should be a big island in the north and east, have you discovered it?"
Yang Zhaolong was interrupted by Chen Mu, and he was stunned for a moment and then said, "The big island in the north is Guinea, right? It is surrounded by dozens of small islands, named by Portuguese, and asked the local people what it is. The big local girl said Guinea, and they called it Guinea. In other people's words, Guinea means a girl."
"The eldest girl thought he asked him whether he was a man or a woman."
Chen Mu discovered that Yang Zhaolong had the potential to become a great explorer - curiosity.
Not everyone is interested in knowing what the Indigenous people say something that makes people unable to understand means.
But for Yang Zhaolong, can you not be curious? The indigenous people were regarded as gods because they could train dogs on Xinming Island. These people paid tribute when they came back from nomads. As a result, they just wanted to see if he died.
With this experience, who wouldn’t become curious?
"To the east, there is not an island in the east. From Guinea to the southeast is a circle of islands. There are everything on those islands, and there are two large islands, probably as big as Guinea."
Chen Mu said: "New..."
He wanted to talk about New Zealand, but his experience of going overseas for several years told him that any name in the later world that had "new" had not been discovered in this era - for example, Xinxiang?
Wrong, it's New York.
"What's new? Not new. The Maori Ministry went up more than 200 years ago. They called it a place with white clouds and the scenery was particularly beautiful, so I called it the ones that looked north and south.
While Yang Zhaolong and Chen Mu were saying these words, they glanced at the tea table with their eyes at the knife used to shave their beards. As they said more and more, they looked at the knife on the table and became more and more impatient. Finally, they turned their heads and looked at their maid and raised their chin.
The shaver finally started to move on his own. When the scraper shaved to his cheek, Yang Zhaolong said slightly: "I don't want to stay in one place for more than three or five years. After all, the world is so big that it's not Bozhou anywhere. But Li Hualong asked His Majesty to bring my brother to Xinming, and there are also the people of Bozhou. If I had known I wouldn't go out to sea, who would have thought that going out to sea and tossed homes?"
Chen Mu nodded slowly.
He had heard of this. On the one hand, he could understand that Yang's family could not accept the relocation of Bozhou to Xinming, which had been passed down for hundreds of years. But on the other hand, he also believed that this was probably the greatest decency given to Yang by the court.
"Change land and return to flow is the general trend. Our generation of reform is the best time for the Yang family." Chen Mu raised his hand and said, "Xinming, Guinea, Wang Yunzhou, how great it is! No matter where it is, as long as it is as large as the land before Bozhou, the future harvest will be more than Bozhou, and it just needs some hard work."
"Look at Changsheng, three years ago, this was a small fishing village. Every year, only three months after the caravan arrives, there will be a brief prosperity. What about now? Haojing is not as good as this."
Chen Mu was actually a little absent-minded. For a long time, the problem of establishing local administrative agencies on the east coast troubled him. The composition of the people there determined a very different situation from the west coast. First, the court did not send Jinshi to him, and second, even if the Jinshi was sent there, it would be difficult to play among the various tribes.
However, when he fixed his eyes on Yang Zhaolong's face, which was shaving his beard, it seemed like a lightning hit his head. Chen Mu asked, "What do you want to do when you come to Yazhou?"
"I don't know, I'm just afraid that my brother will kill me."
Chen Mu could feel that Yang Zhaolong was not joking, he was talking about statements.
"By the way, brother-in-law, when I came here, I found eight small islands in the middle of the sea, not too big, but there are 80,000 or 90,000 local residents living on each island, and the scenery is very beautiful."
As he said that, Yang Zhaolong, who had shaved his beard, got up and walked towards the map hanging on the wall behind Chen Mu, clicked in the middle of the sea, and said, "It should be the middle. I can't tell the difference between the east, south and north of the sea, but Liu Qianhu said it was the middle, Liu Deputy Qianhu."
"He left a hundred men and three boats there. There were food and water on the island, and enough large fleets to replenish supplies. As long as some goods could be sold to local people."
After saying that, Yang Zhaolong sighed with concern again and looked at Chen Mu: "I don't know what I can do here, I feel very confused. If I hadn't been too close to Xinming, I would have wanted to lie on the grass with Chief Maori to watch the clouds for the rest of my life."
Suddenly he turned his head and smiled on his own: "Maybe he'll get tired of it after two years."
"I remember you have read a lot of books?" Chen Mu did not stare at the location on the map that should be Hawaii. His eyes were staring at the bay where Ming Shang Li Yuxi landed on the east coast of the Longhouse Alliance. Another place called New York was called, and asked: "What was Xinxiang called in ancient times?"
"Xinxiang, Weihui Mansion? It used to be called Xinzhongxiang, which happened during the Han Dynasty." Yang Zhaolong asked: "Why did my brother-in-law suddenly ask about this?"
"Not nice, forget it."
Chen Mu shook his head and heard Yang Zhaolong say: "Earlier, he asked Muye, King Wu defeated Zhou, and the eight hundred princes formed an alliance to fight Muye."
